Life generated from earths tiniest creatures.. we are breathing because of them.. they are life
Its fascinating isn't it
I love tardigrades! Such amazing creatures.
I love your youtube channel! So relaxing, helps me sleep.
Well done !
Love it!
Sadly there can't be any super heroes Tardigrades, there's no such thing as radioactive Tardigrades to bite then :c
SPOILER ALERT!! Jeesh!
😂😂😂😂👍
Pretty sure this is going to lead to a proper cryogenic stasis.
Where we don't freeze people (maybe we still will?) but dry them out entirely :P
annoying elements of this presentation seem to have been originally designed for 10 year olds.
Tardigrades are my spirit animal 😍👍
valenius the kat bahaha..👏👏. Love it. You are ahead of the pack then!
These critters are freaking amazing! They are the only thing that will outlive Keith Richards...😂😂😎. People think roaches would outlive a nuclear attack but Tardigrades will rule.
Tardigrades? Are those the things that actually power Dr. Who's Tardis?
Jus' kiddin'
One of the most amazing and mesmerizing lectures I've ever watched on the TED channel!

How much public money would be saved if we dried out convicted criminals for the duration of their incarceration then just added water on their release day.
@Joe Curry I am not sure you understood the point of my comment' I am not suggesting that drying out the criminals would somehow rehabilitate them and turn them into law-abiding citizens, I am suggesting that it would save a lot of money as they would not have to be fed or housed or looked after, in the UK it costs upwards of 40k a year to look after 1 criminal, the savings would be huge.
They understood you fine, putting a criminal in stasis doesn't do the work of keeping them incarcerated. It's not about removing them from society, it's about rehabilitating them.
Jail sucks, and is a deterrent of crime. If I could be sentenced, to 40 years in jail, but only feel a few days have passed, theres no deterrent for me to break the law again. It would save money, yes, but remove the purpose of prison.
@@TheKyleFyles Whilst you have a valid point, career criminals will spend their lives in and out of prison, I am not sure that the current system does an adequate job of rehabilitation and aftercare to transition ex-criminals back into society, so a 40-year sentence that was over in a flash for the criminal would allow the victims peace of mind and like I said in my original post would save the taxpayers a huge amount of money, tbh mine was a glib comment and not to be taken seriously as I am sure that there would be many protests and cries of human rights if it was even possible. I was just trying to think of other applications this could be used for, so maybe lets scrap that one and think of something more doable.
@Joe Curry It doesn't always make them nice guys to let them spend 2/3 of '60' years in prison.
@@TheKyleFyles It's about separating them somewhat from society *while* rehabilitating them, or we'd leave them wherever they were and just make them attend classes.
Lovely creatures ❤
