  • Finally someone on youtube who combines scientific knowledge with creative awareness. I've gotta go look up that bit on the RNA, tho. I knew it happened in plants and bacteria but I didn't know it occured with us.

  • It's one of the primary mechanisms of viral propagation. Any organism that can be virally "infected", i.e. in which virii can reproduce, participates in this RNA dialogue (though "received" genetic information almost invariably "ends" with the infected cell in question). Still, bizarre and fun to think about.

  • I had this link forwarded to me and ....I'm SO grateful...I'm SO HAPPY to see you again, and to see that you are as brilliant as ever.

    I won't be around for a while. I'll think about this thought provoking video while I'm doing other things and I'll try to post a response when I get back...

    Really interesting!

  • If they changed the word on the lab from "Physics" to "Reality" they might get more kids interested. Thank you for YOUR attempt to do just that.

  • and sorry for any grammar mistakes in my comment below, im a high school dropout >.>

  • The compilation of this and your subsequent continuation video linked to this one, both of which are inexplicably fascinating and completely riveting from conception to finish, deserve an Oscar!

  • I don't know what it means to be barely evolved. Not well adapted to the environment?

  • Even light from the stars larger than the sun, distances away from the earth that the mind struggles to completely comprehend shines in straight path directly to our eyes.

  • I shared this on facebook.

  • Very intresting. btw, Carl Sagan will always be my hero. :)

  • I am the legacy of a million lives lived.

  • Well done.
