Jaw dropping stuff. Absolutely incredible. I have a question though. How can the different molecules know where to go, know who to fuse with and so on. They don't have intelligence or sight. Is it magnetism, electrical attraction. What?
@johnmacward From my little A-level education, it seems to be random movement - brownian motion. Some proteins are attracted to each other by hydrogen bonds (weak electrical attraction between polar cells). This is also how proteins fold in their specific shapes. Hydrogen bonds between the peptides in the proteins.
If the right protein hits another protein that it can bind with, it will, because of the hydrogen bond attraction.
@BurritoBazooka Incredible, and I suppose after millions of years of evolution the right amounts of highly probable bonding proteins end up in us so that bonding happens very frequently. In ways it sounds like lottery, in other ways it's very logical.
Thanks for your work. Indeed, unlike many [over-simplified] animations, yours each give a [hint] of the complexity AND the *astonishing molecular movement at the sub-cellular level. And the audio.. is perfect.

the "30,000 recipes" quote is misleading because genes can be spliced into different formulas which result in different protein products. It's more like 30,000 ingredients. The fruit fly has one gene that is transcribed into a greater number of gene products than the rest of it's entire genome... something like 38,000 permutations.
God did it. Just kidding.

The idea that I'm was doing this all by myself before I watched this movie is amazing. Or is it doing me?....

Not to start a religious argument or anything, but this is bound to turn a few atheists agnostic.

@johnmacward I encourage you to find out more if you're interested, I think A-level only touches on how it works.

@johnmacward Lottery is probability. Everything is probable, somewhere, sometime.

If this were a 3 hour movie I would watch every second of this. So very fascinating.

Amazing-------but if we have 100 trillion cells in our bodies, and, "10 trillion are human", then what exactly are the other 90 trillion?

@galorist1 Bacteria, fungi, protists, virus particles, etc.
