If we had to nominate an ambassador to represent the microcosmos, we would have to go with the tardigrade. They’re weird, adorable, and hardy, – a combination of traits that has made them many people’s first entry point into the microcosmos.

  1. As a Biologist I can only imagine the work you did for this great video 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👨🏿‍⚕️👨🏿‍⚕️👀

  2. The OTO worship's phallus as a idol for the sun and sperm as the holy spirit. It's a weird sex cult humunculus is apart of there cult too and that's what comes to mind hope my comment isn't inappropriate.

  3. would be amazing to see a video on 'plastivores' such as the bacteria found in cow rumen which can digest plastic! Would be so cool, if possible, to see that process up close!

  4. I loved this! So very cool to watch a baby tardigrade hatching!! They’re not only hardy little things that can survive in otherwise inhospitable environments, but they’re also really cute 🥰
    I love this channel 😊

  5. I love the homunculus theory, it's just so goofy. We still colloquially talk about human conception like it's true, ie "I was the Michael phelps of sperm" hahaha this is my favorite episode you've made so far, Thank you for your work!

  6. We obviously didn't go to the moon, but if we entertain the idea that tardigrades can survive in a vacuum, (are we believing that because of NASA or (some other space agency told us that)? Or have you guys conducted the experiment in a vacuum chamber to prove that tardigrades can survive in a vacuum chamber? We have yet to see the physical evidence; but you guys have the ability to prove it.
