When we look at bacteria under a microscope, they appear to be tumbling around chaotically, but over the centuries we realized that their pathways have a purpose.

The rods seem very sensitive to buffeting by Brownian motion. They appear to use it to slowly propel in some preferred direction. However the other bacteria seem to be not affected by Brownian motion at all.

@@splintmeow4723 This is a really interesting idea. I wouldn't want microcosmos to compromise the educational value. So depending how the YT algorithms treats it, they could add an extra 10 min of lofi footage at the end of each episode. Or a compilation of existing videos set to music, with annotations flashing over each major critter (that you can turn on/off), so you at least can know what you're looking at

@splintmeow4723 2 жыл бұрын

@@37thraven OHHHHH I like the latter idea so much! It would need to be a long format live stream affair. Where a premade compilation video of 1-3 hours plays on a loop. That annotation idea you said is very important to the format. I am not sure if Andrew has don’t a long soundtrack of all the channel’s pleasant sounds. Also they would need to consider that people might use it for sleep. Which means low white light exposure should be at a minimum. Really think this could bring so many macrofollowers to the channel! Plus I would just love it so much hahaha.

What really amazes me about microbes is their sense of direction. Looking at them through a microscope, it is hard to get any sort of bearing; where do I want to go, what do I do when I get there? Looking at microbes, it is like this isn't a question they even need to ponder. They know where they are going and know exactly what to do when they get there, or die in the attempt. Damn impressive, that sense of purpose, I think.
