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.

WAIT THIS IS ANDREW HUANG MUSIC YOOOOO I WOULDA NEVER KNEW
Wowowow i remember when this channel was new man
As a Biologist I can only imagine the work you did for this great video 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👨🏿⚕️👨🏿⚕️👀
The one from Startrek Discovery was cool 😎
I just want to thank you guys for such intimate content. Tardigrades rule.
Can tardigrades live in our bodies??
My guess is YES, but what happens
6:20
This is clearly hubble telescope images, or other telescope.
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.
I love hanks narrations! I get sooo disapointed when a video on microcosmos or shishow isnt hosted by him :p !
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!
Is there a video explaining exactly what we're seeing inside the body of the tardigrade?
Anyone else notice that blur knock the hatching tardigrade around at the end?
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 😊
This is just Hank Green ASMR. I feel like I'm learning, but like I need a nap as well.
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!
So what did you name them?
Menage-a-trois-degrade LOL … not too much!
i love when you said that for almost all the history of mankind (that we know of…) we didn't even knew that this world existed. This is mind blowing !
That was such fun! Always something interesting happening inside a drop of pond scum.
TFW you get abducted by aliens from another dimension and die of natural causes but the aliens get sad anyway.
This sounds so much like Hank Green.
Tardi-greats!
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.
Gosh, I really just love this channel.
Always fascinating!
Thank you patreon people. You are amazing. And thank you micro cosmos.
Make a video explaining the pros and con of your kicroscope you are for sale please
Imagine walking around and under your skin is a bunch of gravel.
You got me on the manjetardegrade
