Hidden in the microverse all around you, there is a merciless war being fought by the true rulers of this planet, microorganisms. Amoebae, protists, bacteria, archaea and fungi compete for resources and space. And then there are the strange horrors that are viruses, hunting everyone else. Not even being alive, they are the tiniest, most abundant and deadliest beings on earth, killing trillions every day. Not interested in resources, only in living things to take over. Or so we thought.
It turns out that there are giant viruses that blur the line between life and death - and other viruses hunting them.

5:21 I like the fact that the girus has an IF conditional in Javascript enabled to confuse the duck in both cases if it's alive or dead.
It looked like c# for me
all C styled langyage looks like this
@@thearmyofiron lol true
@@0yousif0 I know it's JavaScript because I've actually used it.
@@prashanthbaliga78 Yeah, but all C-based languages use that. It's an incredibly basic syntax for an if-statement, to the point that even Excel uses it. The fact that you assumed that it's JavaScript automatically says that you barely even code and use other languages. Keep coding, kiddo.
So if these “Girus” things target amoebas, but seem to ignore human cells. Could they be used to treat “brain-eating amoeba” cases?
That's what I was thinking
probably, but the problem is the brain-eating amoeba kills you very fast after it's detected, so even if you unleash the GIRUS, it's going to be difficult for them to take all the amoeba out in time.
@@eVill420 what if tons are released into your bloodstream so that when inflammation occurs the giruses flood out too? or maybe incorporating them as a part of the immune system by having the mucus glands also make the giruses safely and incorporate them into the mucus lining the nose
@@Jermain-cz4bh maybe it's possible, but I don't think the Giruses would infect them fast enough, it probably take a few hours for the virus to incubate in the amoeba, giving them enough time to multiply and still kill you. if you somehow injected them in the early stages though, that would work
Just watched that video. I like the way you think!
Can’t believe these things evolved to affect computers

Ah, i just watch star wars a minute ago
I think the thing that most amazes me is the fact that every virus side by side can make a line larger than 500 milky ways... thats insane, like,... REALLY insane. As a Space Engine enjoyer i understand pretty well the humongous size of the mily way, but i cant imagine it anymore, just because of this insane count of viruses...
I am actually having a mental break down over this
@@silverstar1614 dude same it's utterly ridiculous
there are so many they must literally be EVERYWHERE on our planet
Just because we can spread them in a 3D space we can accommodate them in such a small space, relatively speaking. If we find a way to store things in the 4th dimension, I'll have a place to put my stuff that I never use :D
I studied a marine virus in grad school and almost every source I cited at some point included the phrase "viruses are the most abundant biological entities in the world and world's oceans." I always loved the term "biological entity" for something that is very close to alive, but isn't quite.

The fact this channel was created by a student inspired by a brilliant teacher is just amazing… you alone are doing so much for learning then all schools and all the incompetent teachers who pretend to teach and blame the students for their failures. I was once a student that was blamed for being too dumb to understand and now I know better.. so watching your world gives me a lot of pleasure
Also: kind of fascinating that with large organisms you'll usually see the bigger hunting the smaller. But on the microscopic level, it often happens the other way around; with smaller things hunting larger things.
I mean it does also happen on the large scale, our most prolific killers are microorganisms like bacteria and viruses. It's more like to gain energy you need to eat something smaller and to reproduce you need to infect something larger.

New SCP just dropped
Lmao
Wait a few years, their is going to be an SCP like that
I thought the same thing, but I think there might already be a few like that
actually there is scp-439, the bone hive. But that is based on a earwig that enters your body and produces abnormal bone growth so you become a immobile living hive for them. They eat some of your organs but keep the rest alive and functioning so you provide heat, protection from outside and, sometimes, they use your digestive track to pre-process their food and make it into a nutrient rich slurry....
What about the elephant sized ducks?

Great work on this video! I'm surprised you all were able to create a video that explains this subject so well and cohesive.
“Imagine a mouse crawling into your mouth, and using your guts and bones and fat tissue to build a mouse factory”
That wouldn’t be out of place as a circle of hell in Dante’s Inferno.
Well hello there, Doctor.
Would not be out of place as a contained anomaly either.
good evening doctor
ehmm
I can tell this is something u would make
That mouse analogy is the most terrifying thing i've seen in a while.
And it was just a fictional scenario. You'd be surprised how many parasites are out there ready to lay their eggs inside you and then their larva feed of your body.
Maybe they wanted to avoid copyright repercussions had they referred to face-huggers or that one creepy beetle-like parasite in Stargate SG-1 that burst out of a guy's stomach after he got some coffee.
i agree😰
I kinda went deaf after that bit...imagination in overdrive, and totally lost focus.... I had to 'rewind' the vid...to catch up with what else he was saying....such an image🔥‼️🔥
And in reality when you’re sick, your cells are actually being turned into virus factories, just on a much smaller scale
So, bottom line is spider man can be real in the future.
"Imagine a mouse entering your mouth and using your guts bones and fat tissues as a mouse factory"
Couple days later the doctor said i got insomnia

Thats okay. It will be stored in your brain and when the time comes it will be triggered to be sent into the surface of your brain as reference.

Would it be possible to genetically modify and create a sort of hyper virus that hunts other viruses to help fight off infections? Its an interesting thought thats likely not possible.
Viruses are the ultimate form of life. As someone who respects the f*ck out of "optimized laziness." Viruses really aspire to "Peak performance with minimal effort"
I've always been amazed by the comparison between the two extremes in size - on the one hand we have space which is so massive and unexplored and incomprehensibly expansive, and on the other hand there is a whole other micro-world which is so small but yet equally unexplored and incomprehensibly expansive. And then there's our normal world just floating in between
AND there's so much we don't know about our normal world too. I mean this for both individual people and for humans as a collective.
And how much of the ocean's depths are unexplored
one of my favorite comparisons is that there are more numbers between 1 and 0 then there are positive integers. This is the concept of larger infinities.
Yep
You got the dimensions wrong.

“This [creature] should not be able to perform [activity], however the [creature] does not care what we think and performs [activity] anyway”
Reminds me of what my Professor said when he saw that we were utterly confused about something that fails clear classification.
"Why is it so confusing you ask? Because Mother Nature doesn't care how humans classify things."
Or to quote NDT; “the universe is under no obligation to make sense to you”
9:19
This is a perfect representation of what I am talking about, just like our misclassification of light as being a particle/wave so too, have we labeled a natural cellular process's secretion a seperate entity attacking the cells.
How do things without a brain move in reaction to something without it being a chemical reaction
Because classifying things is stupid at its core. I mean, it's very useful, but when you look at it every living thing is just a marginal variation from another one. All the marginal variations make complexity. So it appears that a flower is something completely different from a giraffe (and it is), so you can classify them. But considering time and numbers, it's all about marginal variations. We think at life like it's a mathematical discrete group, but it's more like a mathematical continuous group
This stuff is mind boggling how cool and terrifying that there’s that many viruses on our planet
Best "viral" video i've found. The graphics were great for keeping my ADHD mind engaged and focused while he explained. I watched 2 other good videos on viruses and this one took it a step further.
