so sorry sir will try harder next time

@Mike Roy I can't tell if you are trolling haha :D

Real comment

Hope you can overcome being mentally challenged Mike Roy.

I at least knew that he was into zoology and evolutionary biology but had no idea he theorized about subglacial lakes. Really interesting guy with a wide range.

Bread Santa gets more interesting the more you know about him

This is still the most surprising fact in this video

Kropotkin is shit and evangelion rebuild is good 🥱

he made me google him lol

Huh

Damn your lucky you didn’t get hurt bub

That's rough, buddy

Honestly one of the best destruction spells that existed during the first 20 or so years of Magic. Not to mention the art was baller.

That card busted my balls in my edh table because my friend would place it in his Maelstrom Wander deck. Since cascade is a cast trigger, all of our board would be gone and there's a 8/5 staring me down.

Does that mean nezahal exists too?

Good to see other MTG players exist still

Was just thinking the same thing. Nasty card..

Life already existed in Antarctica before the continent moved to the polls. Life merely adopted to the extreme environment where as the moon it would have had to evolve from scratch. Possible such an environment can harbor life but not provide the means to allow life to develop in the first place.

@@FrogInShorts it like and

@@FrogInShorts geothermal vents are were we'd expect life to develop, if it exist. There's like 50km of water at the least but most of that would be useless to life since there's no energy source under dozens of kms of ice and kms above the ocean floor and its nutrients.

@@FrogInShorts Very true, but it at least answers half the question. Life can only evolve somewhere that can support life. So if we've established that Europa probably can support life, then the only question is what are the preconditions to create life?

The PC game "Barotrauma" is based on this concept, it's pretty neat

As a finn I instantly recognized icelandic languege. I also propably knew the word at some point since I have been in Iceland countless times (before pandemic) and also knew quite a bit about the land of ice and fire.

What you just described sounds like the ice worm on subnautica below zero. Crazy shit buddy.

Is mentioning your race necessary?

@@chwig7354 speaking for them, yea. I mean it wasn’t race they were speaking of, it was nationality. But in this context, letting it be known that you recognize the language would be better understood and elucidated by giving a reason as to why you recognize the language. Aka, their nationality. As an example on the opposite, I don’t recognize the language because I am strictly American. They do recognize it because they are Icelandic… again, that was nationality, not race. You can be any race within a nationality. And the Nordic languages are all somewhat similar because they originated from largely the same places. I myself understand some parts of those languages. Despite what I said in my example, I do understand some because I am 2nd generation Norwegian. My daily came here on a boat in the middle of last century. I understand Norwegian quite well and because of that, I can elucidate other Nordic based languages also. So yes. For context sake, they had to list their NATIONALITY.

@@chwig7354 may I ask why that offended you? I mean I think i understand. I am also tired of people, especially in America, but other western countries as well, constantly throwing out their race as some sort of credential to make a point. But that’s not what was going on in this thread.

His Wikipedia article describes him as a "Russian anarchist, socialist, revolutionary, economist, sociologist, historian, zoologist, political scientist, human geographer, philosopher, and activist who advocated anarcho-communism. " Fuckin' try-hard

fuck yeah right?

The Conquest of Subglacial Lakes

Millions of years

Not hundreds of years millions. These are amazing time capsules, millions of years ago no light, no freely available oxygen, locked away in hundreds if not thousands of feet of ice. And here is the interesting part, we could be a threat to them, we would contaminate their world and likely harm it.

I would love to know aswell

This is a really good question! Also curious about the answer.

@Bingo i mean. If you're a marine lifeform then of course it is.

@Bingo Good for what?

@@westwarden5979 fishe

Oh yeah, he did write a bread book, didn’t he?

He should….

@Vini Yellow yeah

I'd love to see that !

Yeah, these organisms have evolved for a very specialized environment, in isolation of the rest of the biosphere for millions of years at this point. There might be a little exchange once and a while between lakes that are close to each other, but otherwise they are basically different worlds. The last part of the video explains a bit how they have different conditions that would lead to evolutionary divergence. As far as what would happen if the antarctic ice sheet collapse and these environments were exposed, they would probably get devastated in any other environment and may not have the defenses to survive against other microorganisms.

as ice melted off the surface the pressure of the lakes would decrease, causing them to re-freeze which would probably destroy all the bacteria and any trace of its existence :(

Crater Lake is a good one. It's crazy to think that such a gigantic lake was completely empty of wildlife until humans came around to introduce fish. Or that log that's been bobbing vertically for over a hundred years.

Life finds a way.

I sense that you irl have daddy issues.

@@InkfinityOkamix3 just because my daddy is a renowned naturalist , and also a Russian prince , doesn’t mean u need to be jealous.

@@saturnhadeswright9170 alright, so you’re insane. Good to know

@@InkfinityOkamix3 and your boring

@@saturnhadeswright9170 it’s obvious you’re still a child. No reason to argue with you. Also it’s “you’re”

Pretty much any outside bacteria getting into the system would be contamination, and when the lake is tapped it sends bacteria water flying up a 4km tunnel, i think damage is going to be done no matter what

Just wait until the bacteria contaminated by drill fuel evolve into motorheads

While I agree that the risk of destroying even more unique creatures than humanity already has *cannot* be overstated, I would think that at least non-invasive or minimally invasive study would be worthwhile. If, for example, we could use thermal imaging or ground penetrating radar to investigate differences in conditions between individual lakes and correlate those to known species from lakes we have explored, maybe we could make more informed hypotheses regarding extraterrestrial life (e.g. under Europa's ice).

@@RivLabs I mean yeah it could potentially be worthwhile, but for the example you stated, would good would a hypotheses of aliens really do for us, especially in a place that wouldn't be hospitable for humans? I don't really see much gain for humanity from that outside of answering a mystical hypothetical.

@@No5712 Well, true, it wouldn't be a direct gain in a material sense, but (at least for me specifically) I would feel slightly less existentially alone knowing that there's other life out there, even if it's only unicellular, y'know?

Forgetting? No. Overlooking because this isn’t about politics. Focus on the neat science thing.

“based” you’re kidding right?

Well usually people talking about living on Mars are in the context of earth eventually becoming uninhabitable because of human driven climate change!

Well, not having all your eggs in one basket would be a good reason. One asteroid, or a super volcano going off, or nuclear war *cough*, and we're gone, or at least sent back to the dark ages. And while Mars would be extremely difficult to colonize (dead core that needs to be restarted, which would be a huge project, plus the soil has a high metal content, not good for humans), having another planet with humans ensures we'll survive as a species

Very costly. Not s lot of food out there

Because Mars is one loudmouthed dipshits pet project, while all the people trying to make earth places more inhabitable are borefests like real infrastructure planners or real engineers or real scientists.

Well, humans aren't able to self sustain in barren environments, and the jungles are simply hard to make buildings in. And as for why volcanoes aren't avoided as much, they don't erupt too often, and when they do they release tons of minerals through their ashes or other methods. Even areas without any real volcanoes but have volcanic soil from the past (such as the Golan heights) are great for farming since the soil has so many minerals to help plant growth.
