I have never seen such revolutionary work in biology. Maybe I'm uninformed, but to me this seems Nobel-worthy.

Michael Levin's work is truly fascinating!

call me crazy, but I am absolutely convinced this man is going to get a nobel prize sooner or later.

This video is so underrated. Beautiful discoveries. We need to create a huge dataset of electrical signal patterns morphology tuples and train some generative ML models on it. Imagine specifying a morphology and the model spits out the necessary electrical pattern which you could then apply to build a limb, etc. I'm obviously simplifying but that's roughly the idea.

This is actually magic. Like it's legitimately doing things that are extremely hard to distinguish from fantasy.

Michael so... so... grateful to you for sharing your work and your thought it is very inspirational!!!

I hope you continue doing ethically your experiments.. thanks.

I wonder if Rupert Sheldrake and Michael Levine know each other. This is so fascinating. thank you Michael.

I feel blessed to have found Michael Levin just when I needed him 🙏💖

This is one of many young great minds of our time. I would like to know if Dr. Michael's works are included in medicine soon, and to cure some diseases we don't have a cure for?

This guy is awesome. He make it to where I can kind of comprehend what he's saying. Just great man.

Absolutely beautiful description of the path from parisitosis to symbiosis obtaining homeostasis! The Collective Consciousness coupled to the Universal Consciousness from the seat of the Human Holographic Mind’s Eye! Shine Bright! Frequencies is the system of our symphony!

Hello and thanks for the brilliant talk! Besides birth defects and the others applications mentioned here, I can already envision how this capability could be useful for burn victims or acid burn victims and so on, as well as outright recreational "plastic surgeries" or the like. Such interesting stuff!

Michael, very solid work. You took Driesch to a whole new level! Would you agree that what you call “modular” can be viewed as some form of biological quantization? Thank you

Hi, I have Multiple Sclerosis. So obviously I feel like you should look into this disease. My thought is this; In @Lex Friedman Podcast you mentioned immune therapy vs. other cancer therapy radiation. AND you mention electrical communication between cells. Multiple sclerosis is thought to be an Immuno-neurological disease, so I thought, maybe you want to talk more about a connection there. Reguardless, thanks. Thank you. I literally want to live again because there may be a chance you be like that guy who cured polio ( sort of ;/)

In a way it sounds so simple and logical,incredible...❤

This science deserves a Nobel prize soon. Also his discoveries are definitely at the level of Nobel discoveries such as the photoelectric effect, quantum mechanics, quarks, etc...

incredible, thanks for this presentation.

Cosmic Sans in a presentation. Ground breaking research demands an extraordinary font. Well Done!!

Amazing projection of anthropomorphism revealed in the phrase 'evolution discovered'. Charge separations and discharge paths self organise to 'cells' or boundary conditions within filamentary 'structures' at all scales, but expressing according to terrain which is of course part of as well as party to such expressions. Infinity is neither big or small but is Totality or Whole. In an object model, we discard Infinity with such ideas as 'space' which is 'full' in terms of 'fields' regardless the interactions that we call matter and associate with thermodynamics. The initial discovery of bio-fields is to the ego of a mindset of predictive control - which is alien to life - or I might say the result of an alienation from our original nature or identity at rest (field-guided) as distinct from isolated central 'control' based on conditioning or acquired experience along the lines of its 'survival' as a self-referencing thought system or focus for creating experience. That there is a reintegrative field awareness for conflicts, fragmentation and dysfunction is effectively blocked by the persistence of a control directive rising from separation trauma - loss of field (felt) awareness of Infinity as our own resonant signature vibration. yet even such limitation and dysfunction is information serving a greater 'self-organising' or creative expression of life as embodied awareness of existence - ( as distinct from self-conscious reflective thinking), Existence cannot be truly outside a field that we can access as awareness THAT we are (without qualification). Somewhere in attempts to DO life, we may discover an always already 'intelligence' of integrality which realigns or restores unified purpose to fragmented or split and chaotic disorder. The discovery of what we are from new perspectives is the essence of living thought that goes forth to multiply. The idea of hacking the code is the idea of private creation, within a Field that is within all that is as a river is within its eddies - that none the less embody characteristics of a persistent boundary event around an inertial fulcrum. Ideas here are sketching, to prompt, invite, but not 'tell'.

Excellent lecture. Thanks for sharing this valuable materials. I have never seen such an awesome insight in biology books. You made life live!

Blows my mind.

Amazing!!

What determines the initial placement of the ion channels if DNA does not determine anatomy? Also, what determines that the correct ion channels get expressed? If bioelectric potential, the software, comes first in determining which hardware gets expressed, what is determining bioelectric codes for each cell?

This is like a thousand years ahead of its time. Move over Dr. Frankenstein, there's a new Doc in town !Now that I think of it Dr. Frankenstein used electricity to bring his monster to life ! But like wow. This is truly amazing.

Wow, Fascinating!

Very cool research.

Amazing 🙏

Searching for Michael’s work after the Lex interview. On xenobots, I don’t think you can say evolution never experienced this state before. Surely way back in time there was a primitive tiny organism with did use cilia to move. The cilia later got repurposed to move mucus. Isn’t it likely the skin cell reverted to an earlier evolutionary state without the high level control of the larger organism?

Amazing! I love hearing any updates from Dr. Levin’s research work. Each time it’s mind bendingly fascinating and so cutting edge compared to anything else out there it makes me think and hope for cures being developed for terrible diseases that will make them a mere past relic like small pox or polio for the most part. I’m sure some biohackers will take certain aspects farther once it becomes more widely understood and create strange human mods for unforeseen purposes made possible only through this type of fascinating advances in biological knowledge. Ethics aside of course, since what the mainstream deems unethical only drives such fringe practices underground.

This is a much better Focus for Science and Far More Important than spending money on Particle Physics, Dark Mater, Dark Energy or String Theory!

Like all great science this creates more questions than answers. It opens up new regions for exploration. "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." S Holmes. 'Whatever remains' in this case is a whole can of worms.

wonderful

This is so awesome

mind blowing...

This is revolutionary.

Wow this some scary amazing shiz bro. Thinking someday we could make a treatment for dismemberment or metastatic cancer for people! What a wonderful world we live in!

Wow this brings questions forth about the theory of evolution. Crazy

Bravissimo...deep intriguing need to watch over & over...so much to absorb...hope me pea brain can handle info load...maybe I should grow a 2nd head...

Remarkable work ! Is there any evaluation from his peers ?

This research breaks down the "I" to a cellular level. Still, every "I" is subject to a blueprint existing in the bioelectric structure. Those blueprints, in more complex organisms, exist in a hierarchy of blueprint networks, almost like LANs in a hierarchical WAN, where the topological structure of the entire network is propagated down into the lowest entity that can hold the information. Which in simple organisms means the individual cells, but in higher organisms like frogs perhaps means one or two orders up in the network hierarchy. Perhaps this is why the xenobots will not try to recreate a frog while the flatworm will regenerate entirely from every subdivided part? Anyhow - amazing science, love it!

How much memory is required to run a universe? Quadrillion billion gigabytes? If this was all a simulation.... i mean the level of complexity here is just absolutely mind blowing and the innate intelligence that appears to be built into every cell through the alternating pairs of sequences known as ACGT just blows my mind. This talk was fascinating.

Is there a hierarchy of priority for each cell type? In the example of producing an eye in the tail of the tadpole, what kept the skin cells from reverse recruiting the induced eye cells to work together to go back to make skin?

Adaptive morphology is something people totally forget about as well. Our genetics gives the essentials but environment can modify morphology dramatically. Especially in plants.

❤❤Fantastic science. Uncovering revolutionary causes in embryology, combining broad techniques-an easy Nobel prize decades ago. Science is accelerating. You just have to be ignorant of contemporary science to believe otherwise.

This soft tech is the future

So - instead of transmitting information between cells via cell surface-bound molecules, the membrane potential is used. This quite an insight and a revolutionary one, too. Since there is only one type of electricity, similar voltage patterns must be used for different differentiation patterns, right? How far does this go? Is there a level in cell differentiation at which a switch from membrane potential patterns to other mechanisms is made? Or do cells run through a repeating process during each step of their differentiation (I'm part of leg/foot/toe/nail)? Can you de-differentiate cells just by altering their membrane potentials or is it only the (largely undifferentiated) stem cells which are susceptible to changes in the bioelectric environment? How does DNA methylation fit into this? Could DNA demethylation be used to start a regenerative bioelectrically controlled process? So many questions...

What is the frequency is the question

The pointing of the foot and toe derive data

Not sure why KZfaq recommended this video to me, but dang the algorithm got that recommendation right. Very cool video. Kinda weird and freaky but very cool.

Where I can get the paper?

That’s amazing. I’m new here, just a layman. Someday maybe Biomedicine will be called Quantum Biomedicine.

I would be interested to know whether cell differentiation into various tissues can be controlled through gene expression, via changes in vitamin D3 dosage or production. We know mutations offer variation in conferred attributes whether useful or dangerous, so it would be interesting to know how, for example, lighter skin colour with less pigmentation evolved through that mechanism as it relates to D3 dosage. Using the skin pigmentation mutation response, to lowered light conditions, as a guide to likely gene expression per se, if DNA and genes in particular as stated at 5:09 do not confer cell differentiation, and therefore variation in physical characteristics, what is the mechanism?

I am simply amazed. At the quantum level-a bridge. Wow, endless possibilities for good and unfortunately that means bad as well. Let's choose good!

I would say two things: 1) This knowledge is more dangerous than that of nuclear bombs, and should be treated with extreme caution. Our species has repeatedly shown it is incapable or unwilling of having such caution. 2) What you would need to know to truly understand all this is many many many orders of magnitude beyond what any human has ever understood. People routinely underestimate the knowledge they would need, and act on the presumption that the tiny amount of knowledge they have is enough to make an intervention or create a product. I'll leave it to you to figure out what I think of the outcomes of such decisions.

Fungi work very well

This isn't my field so this is going to sound stupid, but after Michael mentioned that the organism can reach the desired morphology from a variety of initial states and through a variety of paths, it sounds like it the assembly isn't really what's controlled but the final state. I imagine that things are going around randomly until they stumble upon and snaps into the stable position. However this model seems to be in contradiction with the relatively repeatable stages of development.

"We are very far away from this." I'm optimistic about ML's work. When I hear these types of statements about the progress of state of the art tech, I wonder, "far away," in what relative time frame? A personal lifetime, the lifetime of a society, the lifetime of industry?

I don't understand : if the bioelectrical pattern is not coded in the DNA, where does it came from ??? the first cell must have it encoded somewhere, right ? where the anatomical blueprint came from ???

This is how mitochondria went into the cell

Michael, At 28:53, you discussed placing animals into completely new environments, resulting in the organism's changing its expression in channels (ie, the morphogenetic fields). Then you expressed that this could result in development of an entirely different creature. I study evolutionary biology as a layman (science major), and this would be a mechanism of very rapid evolution, say at a time of going from a long Snowball Earth 670 MYA and into the warm Ediacaran Period when quite a few new body patterns started to emerge (the Avalon Explosion). Then from 542 MYA, the Cambrian Explosion took place (creation of 7 new phyla in less than 50 MY. This second explosion might have been driven by the completely new environment of more available oxygen in the ocean (from a huge increase of algae in the ocean). This also could be seen as changing expression in channels to produce very different creatures? Perhaps you can give me feedback on this simplistic way of looking at it!

Biohacking 101👌👌

I always hear so much that comes from idealism philosophical /theoretical lines of thought .really contradictory to past materialist belief systems. Regeneration , machines,programmed information in the same sentences with advancing changing evolution inserted words. manipulated etymology

Does this mean that some (most?, all?) of the GMO stuff going on might be achieved software-type methods.

☯️

Sounds like Rupert Sheldrake might be onto something with his Morphic Field theory...

To comprehend all these complexities we need A.I.! Human mind is not enough!!!

What Is The Likelihood That These Technologies Will At Some Point Be Malpracticed Unto Monstrosity Or Catastrophic Consequence?

Is the bioelectricity inherited from the parent/parents.... Highly likely. Can the bioelectricity/bioelectric field persistent if the physical animal dies? Maybe? 8 megahertz is the brains frequency.

I would like to order a Minotaur 2 harpy and a naga

but.... why? the composition you recorded is epic on it own even without the gimmick...

This man is God level genius 😅

So basically if all of this is possible then we arent far away from having super soldiers or just plain monsters fighting in wars soon? Lol

'Evolution did it!' Of course it did.

All from two single cells

4:30 Is It Possible That Some Of The Cellular Structures Do Receive, Percieve, Or Transmit Forms Of Intrinsic External Information And Logical Instructions From Universal Pattern, As In Addition To The Technologies Inherent With Genetic Sequencing And Material Mechanisms?

Levin, is a very bright, articulate guy, at the cutting edge of bio-physics, bio-electric research and applications. BUT, he immediately exposes the prevailing incomplete understanding and confusion Re: living vs non living, and commits the tautological blunder of assuming that the process of evolution exhibits intention, and bestows it with engineering capability and design. Evolution is a blind, dumb process of spontaneous mutation and natural selection, and most certainly is not responsible for bio molecular complexity of living things at various levels from cells to Levin-like humans. The origin of life is still very much a mystery. We have copied nature, and mastered CRISPR-Cas, for example, but how did bacteria develop it before us? In the cytoplasm of a single cell there is much going on without human direction or meddling. How does this happen? Why? Reducing all complexity down to a few basic physical forces seems naive, as well.

Imagine an avalanche. Keep it in mind. Weak then strong then weak again then die. Combine the two. I can't say more.

What could, is going wrong?

They use Microtubules

I need to grow new teeth, after that we can discuss removing a few winkles too..

So all I have to do is cut myself in half to make a clone? Who wouldn't want an identical twin!

Fucking insane

On a VERY VERY WIERD TANGENT he reminds me of Dr. Tyrell..... lol

Implicit programs... The closest in program, is probably PPLs (probabilistic programming languages), where you define a distribution target, and let the random number generators monte-carlo it. Search for AGI 2011 - Probabilistic Programs: A New Language for AI on YT about it, by Noah D. Goodman.

Tissue Regenerative

Not to diverge on too great a tangent, but I wonder if this bioelectrically-coded pattern memory is what some "spirit photographers" actually capture when they take pictures of, say, a ripped leaf, where the part that was ripped off's "aura" was still visible?

I wonder what happens when you actually get to the point where you are curing disease!!! There is a massive healthcare industry that depends upon all sorts of funding!!! Then include all of the industries that depend on supplying the healthcare industry!!

Sigh .. Adaptation to a beautifully designed ecosystem 🥰🌹🌱🍂🍄🟤🪱🌦🌈🌳👣 Nature cleverness

Time. Not only frequency and period, but also time differentials. What man has the embracing capacity to hold and fathom the when of it all.

Pretty simple stuff.

How did you make the frog finish an IQ test? Especially this one without brain?....

I am proof of brain re-conditioning....

I only believe in these type of advances when they present a previously bald guy with lots of hair!

Hmmmm how do you test a tadpoles iq?

Replication driven by Collective Consciousness it’s in the energy of frequencies

Absolut irre. Danke für dieses Video.
