1:19 Look at the top left of the atoll. That dark blue spot is the crater caused by the Castle Bravo thermonuclear test. The blast was 2.5 times more powerful than expected (thanks a lot Teller), and it sent a plume of radioactive fallout high into the atmosphere, so high that it caught the winds and showered Marshall Islanders and the crew of a Japanese fishing boat who happened to be in the area. Some of them suffered acute radiation injuries, and the captain of the boat died from radiation sickness. That bomb is the reason why nobody can live on Bikini Atoll to this day. It’s the single dirtiest bomb in human history, even surpassing the much larger Tsar Bomba.
Maybe, you know. What was the extent of public awareness of fallout from Nevada above ground tests? I've often wondered why blast shelters are called fallout shelters.
@@bardmadsen6956 The government was rather tight lipped about fallout from mainland tests, including the Trinity test. None of them were as dirty as Bravo, though. It’s the single dirtiest nuclear bomb ever detonated.
My notification stopped at Mars, so it just read as "We were sent some sand from Mars..." The actual video is still interesting but let's just say I was intrigued for a second.
Nah they can't handle any conflicting science ever referenced or discussed in their channels and mute people. Science should be open to free discussion anything that is not like their channels deserve to parish, which all of them are.
@@ExsoLam Sure the implications of mankinds most proven knowledge the spacetime theorems establishing the universe had a finite start thus requiring a causal agent. Or implications of the laws of the universe being able to be represented by math.
The unknown object at 3:20 looks a lot like a developing pluteus larvae that died while in the 4-arm stage. I'm not familiar with species local to the atoll, but it looks similar to a purple sea urchin's. Also thank you Hank for all the nice video :)
If I had billions of dollars available to squander, I would consider buying a pretty good Atoll. I would then name it "Not Bad", so it could be the "Not Bad Atoll". I would also seek to keep it cleean and free form human corruption and exploitation (if that is even possible).
Just for the record, I love this channel so very very much. I don't know why it didn't stick but it literally pains me that it didn't. Love you guys, thanks for all the hard work.
The production quality of this just amazing. I learn something everytime I watch a video here and I'm constantly blown away by the content I see here! Thanks guys great job as always!
Marine invertebrate biologist here (so I am strongly biased to find things I see all the time and could be way off) The piece around 2:34 looks like a fragment of an early juvenile sea urchin skeleton that lost its spines after death (they almost always do). The scale seems to more or less match and the darker circles are all about the same size and equally interspaced. The piece at 3:18 looks like a pluteus larva that became mineralized. If you have more footage of the others I'd be more than happy to confirm this.
Alle volte ho la sensazione che più si approfondisce la conoscenza e più ci si rende conto che si sa poco, pochissimo o anche meno. Un po come entrare in una stanza e perlustrarla e credere di conoscerla quando poi si scopre che ha una porta, anzi due, anzi tre... anzi 10. Ed ogni porta di quelle 10 conduce ad un'altra stanza relazionata alla prima ma tutta da perlustrare e conoscere e... Indovina? quella stanza ha altre dieci porte. Come tutte le altre 9 stanze. E più si approfondisce la conoscenza e poi si scoprono stanze e porte. S cosi via, senza fine.
Great work !! min 2:56 vacuolas u organelos dentro de una célula: La historia del baúl de la abuela En un pequeño pueblo, había una abuela que tenía un baúl mágico en su casa. Este baúl era muy especial porque podía almacenar cualquier cosa que la abuela necesitara. A veces, el baúl se llenaba de frutas frescas, en otras ocasiones guardaba joyas, libros antiguos o incluso agua para los días secos. La abuela usaba el baúl para mantener su casa en orden y para asegurarse de que siempre tuviera a mano lo que necesitaba. En los días en que el pueblo enfrentaba sequías, el baúl se llenaba de agua para que todos pudieran beber. Cuando la abuela necesitaba organizar su colección de libros o guardar los juguetes de sus nietos, el baúl siempre estaba allí para ayudar. Un día, el baúl comenzó a hacer ruidos extraños y parecía estar trabajando más duro que nunca. La abuela se dio cuenta de que el baúl estaba tan lleno que ya no podía mantener todo organizado. Decidió vaciarlo un poco, reorganizar los objetos y asegurarse de que solo las cosas más importantes estuvieran dentro. ¿Qué aprendemos de esto? En esta historia, el baúl mágico representa a las vacuolas en las células. Al igual que el baúl guarda y organiza diferentes tipos de objetos, las vacuolas almacenan diversos materiales dentro de la célula, como nutrientes, agua y desechos. Además, al igual que la abuela necesita mantener el baúl en orden para que funcione correctamente, la célula necesita mantener sus vacuolas organizadas para asegurar que sus funciones vitales se realicen de manera eficiente. Cuando las vacuolas están demasiado llenas o desorganizadas, pueden no funcionar bien, lo que puede afectar a toda la célula, tal como el baúl desordenado afectaba la vida diaria de la abuela. Por lo tanto, las vacuolas son esenciales para mantener el equilibrio y la organización dentro de la célula, ayudando a que funcione correctamente, como el baúl en la casa de la abuela.
This channel is such a special thing... for free. We really are lucky to live in a time where information like this can be conveyed in 9 minutes. I knew the story of Bikini Atoll but this stuff about Foraminifera is fascinating.
Before the thumbnail of the video changed, I thougt it was about nucleation sites (in shells maybe)...and was about to make a terrible joke about hydrogen bonds. But as its really about organism exposed to fallout radiations... I guess we would get some similar results in irradiated sand (to a lesser level however) from the similar french test site of moruroa...
@@SlavTiger Well its clearly not very good, probably a bit offensive, and requires some chemestry knowledge...but ok, why is it difficult for organisms to stay skinny on bikini atoll ? Because the lipids in local food are more enriched in hydrogen bonds than anywhere else... You know, saturated fat, bombs and bonds sounding alike etc...but you wanted the terrible joke, there it is ^_^
The Tooth might actually be a Scale. Uhhm... Well... If it's from some Shark-related Fish, it would be both. Because Sharkteeth evolved out of Scales...
That’s amazing to see how fallout impacts the micro organism level. Is that sand safe to handle if it’s radioactive? I learn something new every day on this channel 😮
Thank you for this journey into the formation and current makeup of such atolls. Perhaps a day will come when more detailed accounts are declassified regarding this atmospheric nuclear explosive testing area.
Hey there, for some of the unknown samples have you checked in with your paleontologist colleagues? I've talked with a few folks that had shifted through tons of coral sands in their research pursuits and they have the patience for identifying a lot of biological rocks 😂 Also is your "tooth" comparable to any snail or slug radula samples you might have in your collection?
1:30 so a point of orign, a singularity if you will, had matter, energy and mass, and as its mass increased (following law of sqaures, spongebob!), its energy radiated out (following inverse square law, bobsponge!). As it mass/energy reached an inverse proportional tipping point, the mass of the island sank, but density of matter/energy means that the corals and lagoos continued as the mass of the island sank, "adding" energy into the systems of the coral and lagoon, while taking enerhy/mass from the isalnd (a THIRD system), but when viewed as a whole system, matter/energy and mass were all conserved, thus creating new distinct seperate systems, (lagood and corals continue, but are changed), and a third uniquely distinct system as the whole new 1 system, or distinct new singularity. 2:20 if this is a spectacular example of geology and biolgy being interwined, isnt is also a spectacular example of how everything is intertwined, proportional, relative, unified and asymmetrical? Is that what youre saying? Just curious for the sake of curiosity
lol when he said "we don't know what this is, our expert doesn't know what this is" I thought "that looks like a piece of worn coral" based on my experience of finding a piece that looked like that in about 2007
James has several microscopes, one of them an expensive DIC microscope that this channel helped to buy. That’s the one that gets the amazing highly detailed images of microbes.
They’re more likely to be smashed by natural processes. The force of the bombs would do much worse than break them, and the sand is from the Marshall Islands, which is a lot more than Bikini and Enewetok atolls. I doubt it’s from either of them, though some of the other islands got showered with fallout from the Bravo blast.
It almost certainly did. I suspect Bikini Bottom is supposed to be in Bikini Atoll. Fan theories say the bombs are what caused the mutant talking sea creatures, but there’s episodes of the past where they can still talk.

6:50 That sentence is beautiful enough to make me cry.

The value this channel provides to introverts.
I'm so excited for this one, I've been curious about this for years!
If I had billions of dollars available to squander, I would consider buying a pretty good Atoll. I would then name it "Not Bad", so it could be the "Not Bad Atoll".
I would also seek to keep it cleean and free form human corruption and exploitation (if that is even possible).
The strange lifeforms at Bikini Bottom make a lot more sense now
Just for the record, I love this channel so very very much. I don't know why it didn't stick but it literally pains me that it didn't. Love you guys, thanks for all the hard work.
For gift ideas, buy him a critter from Giant Microbes 😁 who wouldn't want an amoeba stuffed animal? 😄

3:00 looks like a bryozoan to me
Pretty cool thanks for sharing, that microscope is amazing. Charles

At 2:44 it looks to be coral bits
Hay I’ve been looking for that
Beautiful!
No square sponge in the sample, somehow disappointed
At 2:24 you asks “are we looking at…..or…” and the answer at 2:35 is “Yes”! 🤔 Yes, which one is yes to, the former or the latter?
The answer is yes to both.
lol when he said "we don't know what this is, our expert doesn't know what this is" I thought "that looks like a piece of worn coral" based on my experience of finding a piece that looked like that in about 2007
How much longer till these islands are submerged by rising sea levels?
I think the mystery organism 3:20 is a micro sand dollar Dove
3:52 it sounded like you said National Hamster Institute lol
Hahaha I noticed that too
I'm pretty sure that 'tooth' is part of a young sea urchin's aristotle's lantern!
3:15 These kinda look like conodont elements, but I highly doubt they are.
Hey Journey I was just wondering, will you still keep the online shop and patreon active after leaving this project?
Why wouldn’t they? Free income is free income.
Which microscope do you use ??
They sell a microscope on their website as well as lenses, its out of stock, but there is a notify when available button
@@SausketoThey’re not making any more of them. The last run was a few months ago.
James has several microscopes, one of them an expensive DIC microscope that this channel helped to buy. That’s the one that gets the amazing highly detailed images of microbes.
In my short time traversing this big blue mudball, I have become convinced it is indeed a living organism.🤔
No single living thing in those samples, imagine the impact on these islands inhabitants due to nukes
I'm surprised he didn't include a tiny piece of yellow artificial sponge, just for fun.
1:04 ah yes the golden ratio and prime spirals yes the weak nuclear force scaled and frozen for us to see
I like the Spongebob theory where all the characters are mutated from the nuclear blasts
I thought i saw a grain of shocked quartz toward the beginning
Here’s a business Idea: Glassware made from nuclear weapon test sand.
Sip a glass Shiraz while pondering the horrors of mutually assured destruction.
Must go well with the old radioactive Fiesta ware, especially the red ones.
Definitely coral
Forams and potentially some conodonts
0:09 Domain Expansion
im sad to see this channel go
I was SpongeBob just a radioactive sponge that learned how to talk same thing with Patrick and all the other people from bikini bottom
And sandy is a refugee from the surface
could be the tooth of an echinoderm
I prefer your original voice Hank. Don't Forget To Be Awesome.
Maybe a fish scale
Noice❤
Tiny Godzilla
I THOUGHT YOU GUYS WERE SHUTTING DOWN THE CHANNEL??
Hank sounds a little different here! 😅
Happy Birthday. I got you a bag of radioactive parrotfish shit
I thought this channel was done?
almost
Great loss for humanity
Shh!!!!! bro, don't remind them😢...
He did say he still had some videos planned for release till the end of this year(?)
At the end of the year
❤❤❤
Some of the grains look like smashed diatoms. Could those be evidence of the explosive history of the islands?
They’re more likely to be smashed by natural processes. The force of the bombs would do much worse than break them, and the sand is from the Marshall Islands, which is a lot more than Bikini and Enewetok atolls. I doubt it’s from either of them, though some of the other islands got showered with fallout from the Bravo blast.
No background music plz
Right, it's SO distracting
En ee way tok ?
I always thought it was “En ee wee tock”
Do not tell me Bikini Atoll inspired the name Bikini Bottom in Spongebob Squarepants 😂
It almost certainly did. I suspect Bikini Bottom is supposed to be in Bikini Atoll. Fan theories say the bombs are what caused the mutant talking sea creatures, but there’s episodes of the past where they can still talk.
That background music is horrible - please stop it!!!!!!!!!!!!
