4:03 you'd have to be crazy to believe we're the only life in the universe, billions upon billions of galaxies, more galaxies than the grains of sand in all our deserts combined. theres no way we're the only life that has sprouted
James P. i like your open mindedness, but saying things like "christians could be right" is simply false, their bible makes claims, and we know for a fact that they are wrong, take the first few verses from genesis for example (the first book which sets up the entire series).
The Art of Travel -- We are not nice beings. We are capable of what humans know as time travel, only through hibernation. Want to know what the books of religion are about? They are about us talking over a human body, similar to, that show Stargate. Someone, who is a Tardigrade helped create that story.
Along with all that retaliation, grays, etc conspiracy. It's just them. I am A Tardigrade. I am not one of them. I am the first. T Tardigrade is the only one alive I know about.
If they can survive on Jupiter, then they probably came from Jupiter. I blame these Jupiterians for controlling the banks and media and everything. Now I see how they are doing it, and there's nothing jovial about it.
That is hard to say, the human race does not know if Jupiter has water on the surface of the planet. It is possible they came from one of the moons of Jupiter. We can say for sure that is possible they could have came from Mars because we have actually proof that there is water on Mars.
Or Europa, one of the moons of Jupiter. There is definitely water there, but high radiation. If tardigrades can take high radiation then they might have come from there. Jupiter itself has such high gravity that anything that could actually move from the spot there would be pinging about like a flea on musth in Earth's weaker gravity, not plodding about like a microscopic sloth like this one.
I hope his paper gets published! It's really hard to do something like this independently, especially if you don't even come from perhaps an academic biology background, which I assume he doesn't as he calls himself a naturalist. I envy his passion and drive.
+spongebob Patrick Of course they can,they are living beings like us.We will die anytime right?That goes to the water bears as well.Micro oragnisms can die if they don't have their main survival things such as warm surfaces,water air and all their main survival things.
spongebob Patrick they live about a few months when they're properly hydrated and everything. they only live for ridiculous amounts of time when they get forced into the tun state source: www.popularmechanics.com/space/a11137/secrets-of-the-water-bear-the-only-animal-that-can-survive-in-space-17069978/ (btw i found this video because the page said that this video was misleading saying that they are extraterrestrial life forms. there is a link to this video)
I have a theory, based off other theories. Tardigrades dont originate on earth. They are already prevalent throughout the universe. The are a species older than earth. Tardigrades are responsible for seeding complex life in the universe through panspermia, and evolution based on the conditions of each specific environment on different planets they collide with. If it finds a planet that is already forming complex bacterias and other microbes, a type of symbiotic evolution occurs where the tardigrade and bacteria perpetuate each others existence by providing each other sustenance through death and birth, until a diversity starts to form, and the template vertebrate begins to meta-morph into entirely new species, along with bacteria, eventually creating the genetic diversity we see on earth.
The thing about tardigrades, is that billions of years of evolution could take it in every direction. The have 8 limbs and an exo skeleton, hinting it could become more insect like, with time. The also have teeth, complex digestive system, fingers, muscle, spine, hinting it could also become reptilian and avian, and eventually mammal like, with lots of time. But we just learned that time is of no issue to tardigrades. But id like to know more about how they reproduce.
The thing is they can survive without food or water for 10 years, which is amazing....but it still isn't nearly long enough. You would need light years to really get anywhere, and I doubt these things could ever travel at the speed of light of greater. It is an interesting notion though.
johndavies115 Nah, water bears go in and out of a type of suspended animation when dehydrated. They could survive in space for millions or years, then crash land on a distant, wet, habitable planet, and boom. He's awake. But again, we need to understand more about their reproduction. Theyre too big for mitosis.
johndavies115 Where you approach the speed of light the rest of the universe is Lorenz contracted, so a journey of 8 light years would appear to be 8+ years for people you left behind on earth, but you would experience it as much less. The closer you get to the speed of light the more this effect happens so you could cross millions of light years in 1 second (as you experience it) but it would be still millions of years to others. If you went the speed of light (which is impossible) you would be everywhere in the universe at once.
Ahmed Idris you know what's funny before I got to this TH-cam site I was watching something about Chuck Norris and scroll down to the comments and read your comment how ironic
Watch those Tardigrades we launched into space eventually falls into a blackhole hyper evolves into an advanced species and comes back out and comes back to Earth sayin "WTF you shot us into space?!" *stomp*
I know this is going to sound dumb (and believe me it is) but the thumbnail pic of a Manatee in a spacesuit i'll go sit in the corner for being an idiot
LongDic Nate With today's teachers handing out diplomas like candy why are we not surprised you may graduate with a C minus whether or not you even show up for class?
Truthseeker1961 Im a senior in high school in America and the school is a joke. People just either cheat or dont show up. Even my teacher admits it. Still they get c's and b's like nothing.
really enjoyed his last few sentences. "accept and embrace the life as it is." Really inspiring! Let's all be tardigrades and learn to accept the world:)
They won't evolve to that. 'Survival of the fittest' states that beings only evolve to be the fittest. There is no reason for them to become 100 feet. And it is impossible for something so small to become something so big.
Thank you for this. What amazing creatures. Learning about these is one of those things that wakes you up to the beauty of the universe all over again. I love the way that their legs push against the water.
Funny how something so small ., can survive extreme cold an extreme heat ,also temperatures , radiation , Ultraviolet , ..but yet, you can kill it by just squishin it with your finger , fascinating ..makes me wonder ...thx for the post .live long and prosper...
Milo Rivera You can't squash it with ur finger, it's way to small, although it doesnt matter if it's gas, liquid or solid, the preassure is ultimate meassure... go back to school dude.
I've never said it can't be killed lol... I just said that the preassure is ultimate, no mather if u use ur fingers, rocks or anything else. If you take liquid, and put a lot of preassure it will solidify, if you do the same to gas it might turn into liquid, and then into solid. What I was trying to say, is that you cant make enough preassure with your fingers to kill it.. If you dont understand the simple laws of physics, than we've got nothing to discuss about, to be honest.
I too have a degree in biotechnology and several others in various micro biography which is how I know all of this is a load of crap, if you press you finger on it it will break before you kill it, however if you do I fact have small enough equipment that is powerful and durable enough IT WILL DIE
And guys come on, you'd have to be a complete fucking idiot to disprove of alien life, the universe has been expanding for hundreds of thousands of billions of years, so good chances we're not alone. and if anyone says anything about religion i'm gonna flip my shit
djnodj no, but someone probably has, if they haven't they could, and would by extension strongly discredit the idea that it's not from this planet. I'm pretty sure that's all he was trying to say, why does his statement upset you.... you mad bro? jk haha
They're pretty illusive though. He was pretty lucky to have found one so easily on the spot. It took me a whole night scouring through moss samples to finally find one little bugger. As interesting as they are, I find that information about them is relatively scarce.
8 fucking legs just rushing after you and jumping all around while being able to sustain amost anything? put wings on them and they are scarier than dragons
Wow, that Tardigrade is awesome! It evolved to be able to withstand pretty much anything. Makes me wonder why humans haven't evolved so far ahead, obviously we haven't had as long to evolve as the tardigrade, maybe in a few million years humans will be super smart, super tall and pretty much immortal, assuming we're still around of course :)
Why would we need to evolve? When you can create consciousness far superior than anything organic could ever be. Humans will be outdated in the next hundred years. Moores Law.
It's not how natural selection works. You could say that we actually evolved far ahead because of our brain. The human brain is like a pinnacle of evolution. Our intelligence makes physical evolution obsolete. We are able to change our environment to our needs e.g. instead of growing fur against the cold we invented the heater, instead of evolving wings we use airplanes to fly and so on.
***** I have no idea how anything that I said could give you the impression of me being Christian. I'm actively opposed to any religion. I'm not saying that we are done evolving. For example, future generations will very likely be immune to a lot of germs and viruses. But that to us physical evolution is obsolete wasn't my best comment, I give you that ;-)
icandothat Matt No it is not misplaced. Genetic testing clearly proves that all animals on earth are derived from a bacterial ancestor. That includes Tardigrades. While there is a (very) slim chance that the ancestor came from space, all evolution from that ancestor took place on earth for sure.
they look like little miniature tank built like animals that can survive through almost anything it's amazing I've always wondered about these little creatures
1. take the DNA of tardigrades. 2.use your preferred DNA customizing tool, and change the x, y and z values. 3.use special 100x formula for 100x the fun.
like you can make 100x bigger animal just by some formula, don't be an idiot. You need 100 times more data on how to build that thing, life isn't some God shit where DNA works like JAVA
Jaakko Mykkänen You don't need 100 time more data but you do need several generations of selection to work out the kinks that will come with sizing up. A cheuaua and a mastif are close enough in relation that they can breed, that's about a 60x difference by weight. To be fair though dogs have lungs which are an incredible evolutionary advantage when it comes to diversifying size. More ancient lifeforms are pretty restricted by their respiratory systems.
jasonofcompsci Thank you genius. Just ruined my dreams of a giant dinosaur. although i do believe that some day you will be able to select the gender, any physical feature such as height, body color just by modifying the human dna.
Walkman. If you are ok with sacrificing other life we can up the oxygen in the atmosphere and you might get your giant tardigrades. I can start on it tomorrow but a lot of things will probably die.
I want a tardigrade-inspired pokemon in the next gen! And I want to be able to shout "Tardy, use Cryptobiosis!" which should obviously do something like grant immunity from any and ALL attacks and ALL effects while putting Tardy to sleep. Which is then a great time to revive the rest of your team one by one while Tardy holds the line. I'm thinking Tardy should be a water-bug type and the name can also be something else. What do you think? What would you name a tardigrade-inspired pokemon? What other attacks/abilities should it have? And what about evolution line....? ooooooo... Three-stage tardigrade evolutionary line? Ya, you're all fucked once Tardy evolves into Tardspermia and then into Exogenetard! (Incorporate exogenesis and panspermia into the names, obviously)
Absolutely amazing. Nice short film....Astronomy and Cosmology have been a hobby of mine since childhood and I never knew such a creature existed (that can survive in space for more than a trivial amount of time). I like the point about the improbability that they came from interstellar space; however, if I were this guy I would be asking NASA to explore for fossils on Mars (as a potential past habitat). That is much, much more plausible!
Years later those Tardigrades that have been into space evolve into grotesque creatures thousands of times their original size and feed on crab meat and goldfish, all due to the increased amounts of radiation that they received while in spaaaaaaace.
*sigh* Wasn't a serious comment. I figured the whole "while in *spaaaaaaaaace*" and the random references to their "feeding preference" (crab meat and goldfish) might have helped people figure that out a little bit, but obviously not. For that I apologize. I will be sure to add a disclaimer at the bottom of my comments from now on...
The fact that these creatures are so resilient to all these rays, temperatures, and the vacuum of space itself suggests they've experienced these extreme environments, adapted and evolved to overcome them previously. We too can do the same and take over the Universe as a species except we're too busy sitting on the couch watching TH-cam videos.
***** I don't gamble. So for me Vegas is just a nice cheap place to sun and lounge about. The farthest south I've been is Australia. Someday, sir. Someday.

No I want life to change. I want to see other planets be colonized, I want to see life on other planets. The sad truth is that these are things that I will not experience in my life, unless some group of scientists come up with some way to terraform planets and traveling faster than anything possible at the moment.
Wow.. He's identified a fully enlightened Buddha Tardigrade.. Impressive bit of microscopy.. ;9) Seriously though.. very nice vid.. Well done.. mostly for showing that anybody can step out side in this amazing planet we share and discover something new and fascinating..
This dude is so straight forward I love the way he talks hahah "I don't have a personal opinion on that" no attitude, no charm in voice or sad sarcasim, just straight forward lol he said he believes cause of odds other life is out there
This proves my point. Scientists are always looking for planets that have the same parts as earth does. It doesn't have to be just like earth to have life. This thing is almost immortal.
Wait, they're harmless to human body right? Cuz' if you accidentally eat them, those creatures will keep living inside your body. That will be scary :/
And i think, there are water bears inside every human trough the water we drink. Even though it has been filtered by water plant, they'll still alive! Burn it, freeze it, they'll survived. God wtf
So before our form of life on earth there were around 5 different types of life that started to evolve before they were wiped out and life some how started again millions of years later. So what if this was a life form that isn't related to us or any of our ancestors, and was just 1 life form that survived as earth changed into how it is today? o.O
Yes, an absolute form of life that can survive anything would have no reason for evolution and could effectively survive the rise and fall of many other developed/ devolping organisms!
Hmmm... That's a real hard one😌😒... Sure, they probably emit noise, but as the size of them, I'm sure it's not loud... Listen to ants, do you hear those critters?

Imagine if Tardigrades were the size of actual bears, that'd be scary as balls.
8 fucking legs just rushing after you and jumping all around while being able to sustain amost anything? put wings on them and they are scarier than dragons
Strong words at the end of the video! Facinating!
Wow, that Tardigrade is awesome! It evolved to be able to withstand pretty much anything. Makes me wonder why humans haven't evolved so far ahead, obviously we haven't had as long to evolve as the tardigrade, maybe in a few million years humans will be super smart, super tall and pretty much immortal, assuming we're still around of course :)
Why would we need to evolve? When you can create consciousness far superior than anything organic could ever be. Humans will be outdated in the next hundred years. Moores Law.
It's not how natural selection works. You could say that we actually evolved far ahead because of our brain. The human brain is like a pinnacle of evolution. Our intelligence makes physical evolution obsolete. We are able to change our environment to our needs e.g. instead of growing fur against the cold we invented the heater, instead of evolving wings we use airplanes to fly and so on.
Pixelblitz I agree unless there's a species that can use telekinesis.
Pixelblitz so your saying we are done evolving? that the way things have been working for billions is just done?! you sound like a christian :(
***** I have no idea how anything that I said could give you the impression of me being Christian. I'm actively opposed to any religion.
I'm not saying that we are done evolving. For example, future generations will very likely be immune to a lot of germs and viruses. But that to us physical evolution is obsolete wasn't my best comment, I give you that ;-)
Tartigrades to OP, god pls nerf
Rito plz
maledrops WHY NOT NERF THIS CHAMPION
Get a million of them and make a tardigrade suit!
sck615 30 septillion to make a tardigrade house
aka become indestructable...
We're all from space.
Prove it.
How so? Humans evolved on Earth from hundreds of other species, all of which are rooted on Earth.
YourPalHDee Earth is in space ;o
YourPalHDee
Your certainty is misplaced
icandothat Matt No it is not misplaced. Genetic testing clearly proves that all animals on earth are derived from a bacterial ancestor. That includes Tardigrades.
While there is a (very) slim chance that the ancestor came from space, all evolution from that ancestor took place on earth for sure.
Tbh the first time when I saw a Tardigrade, I thought it was some sort of animal in a space suit xD.
they look like little miniature tank built like animals that can survive through almost anything it's amazing I've always wondered about these little creatures
Behold the humble yet awesome Tardigrade!
DC Comics better add tardigrades to their list of animal abilities that Vixen can use in her arsenal. Surviving in space would really be kick-ass!
1. take the DNA of tardigrades.
2.use your preferred DNA customizing tool, and change the x, y and z values.
3.use special 100x formula for 100x the fun.
like you can make 100x bigger animal just by some formula, don't be an idiot. You need 100 times more data on how to build that thing, life isn't some God shit where DNA works like JAVA
Jaakko Mykkänen
You don't need 100 time more data but you do need several generations of selection to work out the kinks that will come with sizing up. A cheuaua and a mastif are close enough in relation that they can breed, that's about a 60x difference by weight.
To be fair though dogs have lungs which are an incredible evolutionary advantage when it comes to diversifying size. More ancient lifeforms are pretty restricted by their respiratory systems.
jasonofcompsci Thank you genius. Just ruined my dreams of a giant dinosaur. although i do believe that some day you will be able to select the gender, any physical feature such as height, body color just by modifying the human dna.
Walkman. If you are ok with sacrificing other life we can up the oxygen in the atmosphere and you might get your giant tardigrades. I can start on it tomorrow but a lot of things will probably die.
Jaakko Mykkänen Fuck JAVA scripts
what a beautiful piece
Back off honeybadger!
I want a tardigrade-inspired pokemon in the next gen! And I want to be able to shout "Tardy, use Cryptobiosis!" which should obviously do something like grant immunity from any and ALL attacks and ALL effects while putting Tardy to sleep. Which is then a great time to revive the rest of your team one by one while Tardy holds the line.
I'm thinking Tardy should be a water-bug type and the name can also be something else. What do you think? What would you name a tardigrade-inspired pokemon? What other attacks/abilities should it have? And what about evolution line....? ooooooo... Three-stage tardigrade evolutionary line? Ya, you're all fucked once Tardy evolves into Tardspermia and then into Exogenetard! (Incorporate exogenesis and panspermia into the names, obviously)
Fucking Epic :D
Dunsparce inspiration confirmed
Grow up child
Exogenetard used Panspermia. All planet pokemon on the field were impregnated.

Justin Davidson Implying only kids play pokemon
I want to be a Tardigrade when I grow up.
Absolutely amazing. Nice short film....Astronomy and Cosmology have been a hobby of mine since childhood and I never knew such a creature existed (that can survive in space for more than a trivial amount of time). I like the point about the improbability that they came from interstellar space; however, if I were this guy I would be asking NASA to explore for fossils on Mars (as a potential past habitat). That is much, much more plausible!
Captain Tardigrade! Had to see what this was about
“Tardigradologists “ 😂😂😂
Robert De Niro sure does know a lot about his Tardigrades.
(dinosaurs are dying)
T-rex: What are you doing, tardigrade?!?! we're all gonna die!!!
Tardegrade:shhhh... don't interrupt my sunbathing
If they go into space, shouldn't we call them "TARDIS-grades".
We should. Can I get a what what for doctor who references?
peyton mcdonough WHAT WHAT!
The best evidence of extraterrestrial life can be found at your local park. Meet the water bear.
Imagine a Tardigrade Kaiju!
RIP Godzilla :P
Doubt...these things wouldn't be powerful enough to take him ...
*Metamorphoses into a huge tardigrade*
"I am a lot happier now indeed"
Ah ok, now I understand why Tardigrades were mentioned in Star Trek Discovery ;)
Only mention of STD I've seen.
Years later those Tardigrades that have been into space evolve into grotesque creatures thousands of times their original size and feed on crab meat and goldfish, all due to the increased amounts of radiation that they received while in spaaaaaaace.
holy shit, you have no clue how evolution, and radiation, works
*sigh* Wasn't a serious comment. I figured the whole "while in *spaaaaaaaaace*" and the random references to their "feeding preference" (crab meat and goldfish) might have helped people figure that out a little bit, but obviously not. For that I apologize. I will be sure to add a disclaimer at the bottom of my comments from now on...
A truly weird moment at 6:40.
The fact that these creatures are so resilient to all these rays, temperatures, and the vacuum of space itself suggests they've experienced these extreme environments, adapted and evolved to overcome them previously. We too can do the same and take over the Universe as a species except we're too busy sitting on the couch watching TH-cam videos.
ViCE shows us the WORLD.
ViCE should have iTS OWN NETWORK.

Las Vegas better than NZ? You must be a Kim Kardashian fan.

I don't gamble. So for me Vegas is just a nice cheap place to sun and lounge about. The farthest south I've been is Australia. Someday, sir. Someday.

I hear you. I'm from Hawaii. Been away for most of my adult life. The longer it's been, the more I appreciate its beauty. Its SLOW beauty.
Take care, bruddah. Conor McGregor!
EVERYTHING IS FROM OUTER SPACE. WE ARE IN OUTER SPACE, SO YES, THEY COME FROM OUTER SPACE.
hahahahahahahahaha no
Or at least one.
Nonsense in upper cases!
BLAH BLAH BLAH
+Aaron Slipp
Yeah ... exactly! ...
No I want life to change. I want to see other planets be colonized, I want to see life on other planets. The sad truth is that these are things that I will not experience in my life, unless some group of scientists come up with some way to terraform planets and traveling faster than anything possible at the moment.
I hear ya, I guess you could play spore, but that's not even a fraction of the possibilities that can happen in space. :(
i came from the future and your post is funny ..
I'm so happy he's achieved his goal of scientific contribution! where can I read his paper?!
Wow.. He's identified a fully enlightened Buddha Tardigrade..
Impressive bit of microscopy.. ;9)
Seriously though.. very nice vid.. Well done..
mostly for showing that anybody can step out side in this amazing planet we share and discover something new and fascinating..
Lol
quick trivia:
How many times did he mention tardigrates in the video?
If you win u get free trip to space!
67
wow u were really paying attention.
wheres his trip?
Actually , sent her to mars already. Ask Elon Musk.
i want a pet tardigrade
This dude is so straight forward I love the way he talks hahah "I don't have a personal opinion on that" no attitude, no charm in voice or sad sarcasim, just straight forward lol he said he believes cause of odds other life is out there
This proves my point. Scientists are always looking for planets that have the same parts as earth does. It doesn't have to be just like earth to have life. This thing is almost immortal.
If you step on them, I bet they are not immortal anymore.
***** Except you'll probably never touch them with your foot
I did not find your point. Where is it?
This is my Yard now.

He's so stoned
Quite the acheivement hopefully this will be remembered.

name of the song?? anyone?

Wait, they're harmless to human body right? Cuz' if you accidentally eat them, those creatures will keep living inside your body. That will be scary :/
And i think, there are water bears inside every human trough the water we drink. Even though it has been filtered by water plant, they'll still alive! Burn it, freeze it, they'll survived. God wtf
+Sapphire Axel so what? They won't do anything
Wouldn't powerful stomach acid dissolve them? They themselves have a digestive system.
Super awesome animal. Surprisingly good BGM in the video. Nice!
It looks like a doctor who monster
So before our form of life on earth there were around 5 different types of life that started to evolve before they were wiped out and life some how started again millions of years later. So what if this was a life form that isn't related to us or any of our ancestors, and was just 1 life form that survived as earth changed into how it is today? o.O
Yes, an absolute form of life that can survive anything would have no reason for evolution and could effectively survive the rise and fall of many other developed/ devolping organisms!
We didn`t get to hear what the little critters sounded like
maybe they don't make noise
Anything energetic emits noise.
I know but maybe they couldn't capture the energetic noise, I may be wrong but it even said in the video that they are still reasurching them
Hmmm... That's a real hard one😌😒... Sure, they probably emit noise, but as the size of them, I'm sure it's not loud... Listen to ants, do you hear those critters?
Dominic Berumen may be we can hear them, by recording their movements as voltages in the medium they are kept, we can convert their movements into sound.
This scientist is amazing
I love his sense of humor
His humbleness ID love to work with this guy someday
Just a real asset to science
We need more people like this guy that thinks outside the box or should I see looks deeper inside it
Send them to Mars then we have Terra formars
uu D cockroach
Tardigrades are sooooooooooo cooooooooooool
will it survive "momentum"??? (smash hammer)
"know theres a wee little Tardigrade for ya " LMFAO 6:41
