+Journey to the Microcosmos Mr. Hank Green, your voice sounds so calming and engaging when you speak quietly like this. Mr. Huang, your soundtrack makes this channel stick out in the best possible way, and Mr. Weiss, nice micro-cinematography. I'm really looking forward to seeing more from this combo, thanks for a great first few videos, we love it!

So amazing and the video/visuals! So good.

I was wondering why anyone would give a thumbs down to a video like this haha. Maybe you can add the correction as a caption or text on the video in case people don't read the comments.

Hi Hank, James. I love the channel very much. The soothing voice of Hank coupled with beautiful footage by James make for the most relaxing videos in my feed. Thank you for that. If you ever decide you need translations for the videos, I'm up to translate subtitles to Polish. DFTBA

Citrus Tsunami very nice comment, wholesome. ^^

Coincidentally, I too am of significantly larger size than a tardigrade. Perhaps we are related?

You will have many friends in life.

Also you are single celled

I feel it too as I am also single-celled, for I am in prison.

I can be cannibalistic too. We must be related.

W I N

Can I give you a Genius Award?

Well said

You don't need to say Phospholipid Bilayer, which is just the Cell Membrane. That's only referred to when discussing polarity and osmosis from my memory.

ThatGuyYouKnow Most under-rated comment

I honestly had a proper guffaw. Thanks, man.

More sense!

Amidst all the gloom and doom presently upon us you, Fellow, made my day with that bit of humor.

LOL

You're right in one point: a rupture, if big enough, is indeed game over.

Imagine it had an awesome Pokemon name like "Stentor"

I have rudimentary stimuli. Just be like, “Those fucking trumpets again!?” Tell my family I love them; erase my internet history.

Ciliate cops come along for a possible homicide. Get blasted by UVC because we’re all in a wastewater treatment plant.

Imagine being most advanced species on earth and end up getting killed by a penaut

Probably how whales feel over toward Japan. I've read 2 stories about how an injured whale sunk a whaling ship. Not necessarily related to the topic but its a nice thought.

^^ Most of scientific knowledge tbh

i guess it means we know "How" it appears blue, because of the blue pigment, but not the purpose.

And somehow we all knew exactly what he meant.

Aliens bruh

I love that this is the idea at the core of all science, and Hank just summarises it in like 9 words.

Indeed ,if we could use it correctly And asking can we ask specific questions and get the knolage to treat a parisite , local villagers think im bluffing about symtoms . Its as the venom movie is Real in partenza . Dr , Cash . SEEMS TO NEED MORE .. MORE ,MORE

Like an tennis players 👍

when?

@@yish14 3:14

Cool but how did you know it was that there playing catch with is that I can be any bacteria

Oops sorry I know there stentors but the top reply is about what there playing catch with

Glad I'm not the only one who was thinking about Spore while watching this.

I was a fan of microbiology and that lead me to spore

Spore is probably what made me so interested into biology

Spore was lit.

@@slynixxxd1566 uwu

Would you feel more or less weird if I told you that's there's probably a thriving micro-ecosystem in your digestive tract?

@@DolusVulpes no those r my homies, actively taking them in is different >-

@@venerablepoof You inhale about a million organisms a day from bacteria to viruses and more so really there is no escaping it. On the plus side though it seems mother nature nature has figured out a way for bodies to cope with such an onslaught of micro organisms and that is the immune system.

Rob Proctor I havent watched videos about the things i inhale so their appearance cant creep me out 😎🖒

you should appreciate chlorination of tap water now.

litreally blue!

@@MCAroon09 they look green to me

nice gungeon pic

Pretty much 2-4 mm long for a single cell creature

Dude, you're not ready for slime molds.

also 8:18 Damn, I though it was going to be a tiny dot on a slide, not this big.

@@PaiSAMSEN Crazy right?

Same here!!

IKR!! I paused the video and went on google to look as soon as he said “5 mm”, and I found none

Would you even say...a journey?

@@mustardsfire22 Haha indeed you might

I was impressed that something that educational was relaxing to listen to.

Looking forward to whats to come on this channel. I too am enjoying this chilled delivery of awesome input

Vacation to the Microcosm. 😏

He sounds different

@@leonidas0242 yea his voice sounds more asmr-like, but I could still easily tell it was Hank's.

iomoon he’s talking way too slow I would’ve never known if I didn’t see this comment

@@Mom-yg1rt his voice also sounds slightly deeper

music from andrew huang too!

Emily Thompson What made you choose micro instead of standard Bio?

Guess Who Am I Well my program of study is standard bio, but I've been doing research and taking courses in micro and I've absolutely loved it. And micro isn't something that I knew I loved coming into college, either. I was just introduced to it and suddenly I was fascinated by all that's happening in the microcosmos that most people don't even think about!

If the Stentor Polymorphus have a bunch of Algae inside the organism providing it with nutrients is it still single-celled what defines a single cell?

Clifford Bryan john Wilson interesting question, and I am no expert on the topic, but I would argue that the stentor is still a single cell, just with "other" cells not belonging to the stentor living inside it. The stentor-algae relationship is symbiotic, meaning these multiple partners benefit from living in association with each other - but that doesn't change the fundamental structure of either organism. There are multicellular algal organisms living inside the stentor, but I don't classify that as transforming the stentor into a multicellular organism. A cell at its basic definition is cytoplasm surrounded by a membrane; it's the simplest unit of life, which is why single-celled organisms exist. But even though the stentor lives with many algal cells, the stentor itself has only one cell, with a bunch of cells belonging to other organisms inside it. Not sure if that made sense, and a lot of this is just my interpretation of the definitions, but I hope that helped!

As a lifelong learner, I am too!

Didn't expect to see you here Yup - finally some good and useful yt algorithm action.

Yeah! This is exactly what I didn't know I wanted to see.

Pathetic human.

@@g8ts985 woah we got a badass here…

@@g8ts985 calm down, dude

Not an animal

Omg holy crap I just noticed. Now I'm shook.

damn I never heard him sound so silent and speak so slowly also why the fuck is he all over the place

@@frut0s821 I guess this show's format is different I prefer this to scishow tbh, this is also what pbs eons should have been like

Hank Green. My dream man. 😭😭😭😭

didnt even realize this was hank

100% agree.

Not everything worth learning can be made this interesting. And most things that can be made this interesting stop being interesting after they're repeated enough times for long-term memorization

I had a similar thought when watching this video -- I thought back to high & middleschool biology classes, "The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell, the DNA is housed in the nucleus, chlorophyll is why plants are green, etc". I was just taught 'rules' with the same pictures of cell models and same catch-phrases as every other kid (presumably for standardized testing), but real-life biology is so much more fascinating with all the amazing variations on these themes. It's not like the fundamentals shouldn't be covered, but I think it's hard for kids to get excited about something that seems so static and dull. Quick and easy stories or rules for how things work are also a misrepresentation of science in general which is a larger disservice for laypeople or non-scientists, but that's another soapbox.

Firaro Breh try music theory , shit is hard as astrophysics. But yeah I should of practiced my scales everyday for 10 hours . :(

​@@the1exnay very true, but I think these types of videos can help pique curiosity in the first place and serve as periodic motivators; helping to remind you why you are putting in the hard work of reading and homework.

@gooby pls why not all. Darwinist messed up social science. This is the best cure ever.

yeah, I think they never heard about Valonia ventricosa

Actually... ostrich eggs are single cells.

Gaetano Di Lustro wut

@@gaetanodilustro lol. all eggs are single cells. the yolk is the nucleus. ostrich eggs are the largest eggs that exist (afaik), so I see why you specified that, but the way you said it made it sound like they were unique in being only one cell

Random Videos yes

I'm waiting anxiously for Weird Al to work this into a song on his next album.

@@jasonheron7614 lmao

Eminem wrote this line as a prop for this channel

Literally same. now I want to go find some of these guys

wait it was 10 minutes?

Same, I study mathematics and KZfaq is over here hooking me up with some cool bio videos.

certainly a future of miseducation as well.

It will appear when your feed is full of sciens video, i dont know biology too and i enjoy this video.

Pop science is cool, but it's hard to make everything in science interesting.

@@Spacebar But science is pretty damn cool and interesting.

obvious rotiferism

I just commented the same thing before I saw your comment

Yes! I love rotifers!

@@djinnisequoia Apparently, so do Stentors

My guess is because they're abundant in the pond from which they get their cultures.

LOL

He is itchy

@@sgvincent100 lol it's worth ittt 💪

theres prolly a trillion other unicellular organisms u dont know

Wtf that’s hank?

@@thinkingemoji5924 its him, as noted on description. I also prefer thin tone of him

I got 9 minutes in before I recognized Hank's voice.

@@chinareds54 I like it. It's like watching Bob Ross, except with microbiota.

Sativa I guess

It's the best stage of the game

On hard mode.

@@Enduring_Mantle I found that poison tends to be very effective against those little Junior guys.

@@taelim6599 Awesome. I'll have to try that out.

It could have been much, much more.

He’s gettin yeeted

Does your school have a library? There you could find some awesome books about subjects like this video. If your school hasn't a library, is there one where you live? The librarian can guide you to find great websites with information about your preferred subjects. If you are here, seemingly biology interests you. Ever considered that school gives you the basis of knowledge over which you can build a profession in science, or maybe in filmmaking? If it's a bad one, still you can get there at least the grades you need to later study whatever you want. It's an opportunity, don't miss it. I am a Spanish speaking person. All the English I studied was at school, and it wasn't a fancy one. On that basis I kept practising, and here we are. 💞😀👋

Shush and let the fellow human dream Maria

@@MariaMartinez-researcher let him dream.

@@jo_nm9484 dreams are for the weak. We need the strong.

@@MariaMartinez-researcher ah yes, another brainwashed person

Yeah. Less excited.

Holy cow, that's hank green? I had no idea!

@@jameson8682 Reminds me of John de Lancie (Q from Star Trek)

Woah no shit?

I rather muscle hank

Thank you for connecting the dots for those of us that studied biology when there were 9 planets in our solar system.

lmao

LOL

Well its feel kinda of "danger" and have to escape for survive. But its doesn't have brain, we dont know if its feel pain, they do not produce any pain killer protein so honestly we don't know

@@BorisKOUKA agreed... The fact they have brains doesn't necessarily mean they actually feel pain... But I guess they just said that as Dark Humour for the video 😂

And ‘brain’ is possibly being generous to a basic ganglion

Unlike the animals most humans kill and eat, these little things aren't sentient.

Basmati probably

Thaimai or nihonmai 🤔

@@katyungodly uhh..never heard of these rice brands

jasmine

Shut up

Love these videos, and would love to see a BTS of how you collect samples, prep slides and what microscope camera setup you are using.

So, does stentorin (the pigment) have any interesting qualities? It's a lovely color; I seem to mix that shade a lot when painting.

@Something Mildly Homophobic Are you suggesting she's a stentor?

I HAVE THEM AS PETS IN MY FRIDGE.

you're doing amazing work! I'm such a geek for microscopy and the footage you're helping to provide is just incredible

You could the yoke of any egg to be a single cell organism. But it's only the zygote so not as exciting...

@@edwarddann1878 I'm pretty sure the yolk is just a ball of nutrients that the infant absorbs while growing in the egg, not the egg itself. Or else it wouldn't be in fertilized eggs alongside the zygote.

Alexander Kramer lol this’s exactly me!

But then, later, you can also binge them! Win win 😝

Saaaame

You could try hopping from channel to channel that are in the recommended to distract you from how you'd like to watch this. Like entreês.

Olivia B He has an awesome channel

They have spoken again

Same here, I was a bit more calm surprisingly.. I overthink all the time and I always feel at least quite stressed.

Josh Nordin I need the song name

IT'S SO GOOD! makes the watching experience magnificent... kudos to Andrew Huang!

A friendly spazmoid I sent a message to Andrew Huang, hopefully he will tell me. If I find out, I will try to remember to post it here.

Dwight Mansburden I also mentioned him in a tweet yesterday about this lol

@@dwightmansburden7722 did he reply?
