Hydrothermal Vents - David Attenborough

[saragabby9]

@whosZepher they get from using chemosynthesis. it is when organsims ( such as bacteria) would use chemicals to create food other than sunlight.

[yabbadetroit16]

@whosZepher hi kyle!

[yabbadetroit16]

pretty cool

[Legolas25079]

You know that TV series called Life? Where Oprah narrates it? Well Oprah should NOT have narrated it and let our dear Sir David Attenborough do it. If you want narrating he's the man for the job!

[Nixinana81]

Does anyone know what these bacteria are called?

And, does anyone know if they're a type of Archaea?

Thanks !

[dariusjames3333]

thumbs up if u'd be creeped out to live that deap alone if we could

[soulfiretribe]

that's SIR David.

[StarSpawn06]

epic background music :D

[SageZane560]

Europa has life, no fucking doubt.

[SurprizedDaily]

If you think this is wild? Search for "Deep-Ocean Vents: Power

5 Times Greater than Nuclear Power Plants" and watch that! Make it viral! Blessings, Love, Peace & much Respect!

[DemianHermann]

If you are a truth seeker, search "Truth Contest" in Google and click on the 1st result, then open The Present and read what it says. Everyone needs to see this. The Present will turn this world right-side up if it reaches enough people.

Its so beautiful ... 

[kjun13]

"Satan! We have a leak!"

[TJae1]

@Loreleila ~ the key 2 the origins for modern life is alantean ? ~ dribble ~ Genesis beats the stuffin's outta such an absurb idea ~ thnxs 4 the thought ~ anyway ~

[shamantomass]

id kill to go down that deep

[CRHassan]

just covered this topic yesterday in lecture... amazing to see this in reality... actually astonished to see how life evolves even miles down the surface

[AHPMB]

It's amazing how quickly these communities of life bloom and then die. Life is an astounding self replicating pattern that defies any classification by silly mythologies and superstitions.

[lilsm555]

More money should be devoted to figure shit like this out instead of war. In the long run the better we know our planet the better off we are.

[chriffery]

I find these are not very reachable, but excellent models for evolution or genetic interaction with a limited amount of genetic diversity. The benthic environment keeps any other organisms from migrating to these vents? Would be awesome if extensive scientific (particularly molecular) data could be extrapolated on.

[canmoore]

@chriffery The bacteria living down there are from the group Archea. These are a seperate group of from your regular bacteria.

It is believed that archea are the ones that filled the atmosphere with oygen, by using salt as an energy source from the oceans, and releasing oxygen as a biproduct.

Archea live in extremes. Such as hypersaline environments, glaciers to even lava! If life is found on on any other planet, it will more than like be archea.

[animenation42]

wow that kinda looks creepy, hey, anyone from inman? its Michella :)

[mshim98]

@animenation42 haha me. :D

[VideoGodProductions]

and i thought it was could down there...

[plussizediva89]

ugh..I had to watch this for my Bio Lab...nice.

[rboganowski]

if anyone is reading this from biology lab, you have to agree this shit sucks.

[Druhue]

@rboganowski how does it suck? It's amazing

[NoobSnoopy]

we know way more about space then our own seas xD

[lolhotdog660]

whata fuck are he talking about??

[gusssiiieee]

david attenborough is god

[VeritasTruthEmet]

How interesting, Noah must have had a very advanced submarine.

[0311jonesy]

Check out Lake Vostock in Antartica. It may be the only place to find untainted life on Earth. Also, these same vents are theorized to be found on other planets in our solar system. But, most notably on one of Jupiter's moons. So, there may be life outside of Earth after all.

[Nebelou]

This video was very useful, it helped me to understand how hydrothermal vents work and then to translate a text on the subject :)

[Rochard021]

I want to be the first person to eat a hydrothermal vent crab.

[HaiDHaiYena]

So cooking those shrimp in a pot will, to them, be like putting them into an ice bath.

[JohnPiperBoots]

God says there is a real hell... lake of fire. It also says it is a place where the "worm" dies not ... tubeworms thrive around the hot vents! There is sulfur ... outer darkness ... any Christians here? What do you think? Comments appreciated.

[maff87]

@JohnPiperBoots

I am not regligious, however the explanation to the "worm" probably lies in the fact that a serpent in genesis is seen as something deceptive, and to undo the work of God. Therefore, the serpent would not die in hell, and would promote un-Godly actions.

[Bigdaddyluv68]

@JohnPiperBoots

Mark 9:48

How would one explain away how Jesus knew about Tube Worms?

Their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.

Deep at the ocean floor the earths crust is very very thin.

The core of the earth is 12,000 degrees Fahrenheit. You know also that many people seem to hear things when volcanoes erupt.

[MarcusKiner]

Colonizing the deep sea is a bad idea unless you can find a way to provide nutrients that humans take in from sunlight, such as vitamin k. Rickets people, ever heard of rickets? Supplementation may work.

[theonlydanphillips]

Man this is nuts when you smoke a little weed and have a curious mind.

[MarcusKiner]

@theonlydanphillips I don't think you need weed to do that. Just think of it sober and see it as is. :D

[twilightgirl277569]

deep sea creatures we read this at school

[iluvmyname]

spermies!

[dennismcruz]

I wonder; could you cook an animal that lives in superheated water?

[B4IRUTUARU16]

theirs probably shrimp living on the sun to :0

[prettycountrygirl2]

Good question Dennismcruz.

[lappenstar07]

Awesome Video from an Mysterious Underwater World,love it!

[zombierape]

I dont believe aliens believe in Jesus, Mikilavush. Christianity is an earthly religion not a universal belief. who knows what there story is for creation and blah blah blah

[nigogosyan]

Exactly how far is your head stuck up your ass?

[mrjans11]

We talk about colonizing space. We don't talk about colonizing our own planet. And the technology to do so is at hand. :)

[1LordiFan1]

if you guys are intereseted in the mariana trench and hydrothermal vents and fish that live here, read the MEG series. Its about a megaladon shark but it has a lot of facts about this its a really good book

[onepath09]

amazing that over millions and millions of years such great things came to be accidently. awsome!

[anduin1]

what if we built a small community down there drawing on these vents for heat.... lol crazy idea, better not

[Supraz123]

@anduin1 haha yeah and we can eat shrimp for breakfast, lunch and dinner xD

[zedooncadhz]

@anduin1 you volunteering? :P

[Mangina9000]

@anduin1 Better yet, why don't we build colonies on the surface of the tropical mid-ocean that derive their energy from the heat differential between the surface and the ocean bottom? :)

[aegist]

@anduin1 And people think it is dangerous living in Californa. Imagine living on the bottom of the Ocean on an active fault line!

[limbdarkening]

@anduin1 Yeah lets kill everything on the land and in the sea.

[Leviskardsen]

@anduin1 They tried that with Rapture, in Bioshock. Didn't exactly go well.

[Legolas25079]

@anduin1 If that would happen most likely that unique environment would be destroyed or greatly impacted. It would be like a rainforest, we clear the rainforest to get land, we would destroy this place to get land.

[explicitkiid]

oiii 6:15 that looks sikk

[crstlspark]

awesome..this video has helped me so much with my marine biology course

[vv55sst]

This probably provides the best sample of why we might find life elsewhere in our own solar system. If life can evolve here, it might also evolve under the ice on a Jovian moon based on volcanic energy.

[101andrewj]

@vv55sst there is deffently 100% life out there beyond our planet.... finding it is another matter... but with the massive size of space... the mathematical odds of another planet with the right conditions to support advanced life are very high

[vv55sst]

Life is almost certainly "out there" (although where is the relevant question). The Fermi Paradox still needs to be answered though - but I'm with Hawking, I'm glad they are not here right now.

[TheCaptainLulz]

@vv55sst And from what Ive read about the oceans on Europa, there may be even more dissolved salts in the oceans there than anywhere on Earth, including the dead sea.

[llamalord111]

@TheCaptainLulz Last I checked there was a joint project between NASA and the ESA to send an unmanned probe to gather information on Europa (and Ganymede) that was slated to launch sometime in 2020.

[TheCaptainLulz]

@vv55sst Weirder still was a proposal from scientists at NASA that Titan of all places may have methane based life. Even at temperatures of -200C there may be bacteria eating acetylene, and thats one possibility as to why theres so little of it on titan.

[vv55sst]

I read that also. I think they are "reaching" there quite a bit. If liquid water is the key to life (as some of my friends @ JPL reaonably assert, then -200C is not going to be that environment. I would wager that there is another process going on on Titan that is just not yet understood.

[icannotfly]

@vv55sst and when you stop to consider the idea that life elsewhere might be based upon something other than carbon, the probability of such life existing increases even further

[gretcher56]

@vv55sst Absolutely preposterous. A youtube comment which is well informed!

[vv55sst]

@gretcher56 - Does happen.

[BeauIXI]

@vv55sst Or how it makes sense for us to have discovered fossilized bacteria under the Martian ice cap.

[franl155]

@vv55sst when scientists say that life can't exist here, or there, i think, define "life" - they most likely mean "life as we know it" but life comes in so many other forms, anywwhere there's a niche, some form of life will arise to take advantage of it

[mjufpn]

@vv55sst first the life has to evolve on the surface decende down and addapte to this exptreem enviroment over some 100 000 000 million years

[vv55sst]

@mjufpn - That raises the issue of how and where life first comes into being. Is sunlight required? Is electricity (in the form of Lightning)? Or can life evolve with just heat energy and the right chemical mix? We might know this once "life" can be made in the lab. I would bet that's coming within a generation.

[mjufpn]

@vv55sst oh yes with proper knowledge the lab can make anything but life on its own must first develope in proper conditions such as sunlight proper heat to develope protein and to assamble proper moleculs - however given the old motto- LIFE WILL ALWAYS FIND A WAY it probably can spread amongst dead rock as well hehe

[Judealen]

@mjufpn not really. Science suggests that life has evolved under anaerobic conditions like these, and just later evolved to other forms of maritime life.

[joeymetalmadage]

@mjufpn the age of the earth is about 4 500 million years, so that doesn't really work lol.

[mjufpn]

@joeymetalmadage all right that was writen probably when I wwas drunk

[dbernz02]

this is kick ass

[metalslug7]

extremely interesting love it :)

[tugger]

awesome

[DjRubbut]

great :D very cool

[paktastic]

Thanks so much for this video.
