There's also the parallel story of how taking samples at these depths had to evolve. Many initial samples were contaminated by the materials used and their interaction with the environmental conditions, and things got worse when samples had their pressure reduced to atmospheric to permit study in conventional labs. The engineering needed to respond to these challenges is fascinating, and may be worthy of a corresponding Real Engineering video.
Wow...that is amazing!
Fascinating! An entire living world beneath us, yet astronomers are searching in deep space for signs of life 🤔
Hernando Malinche His point is that it’s crazy we’ve been able to explore space before we’ve even finished exploring our own planet.
@@barrymccociner4105 Yes, exactly.
@@barrymccociner4105 ah yes, we have indeed explored all of space
Kinda makes me feel regret that I'm not a marine scientist, because seeing how mysterious the ocean is... It's thrilling.
Play Subnautica... seriously
I can't swim
I like turtles
The ocean seems bluer from afar
Its such an awesome area of study... But it can be hard to find a job within the field as well.
Literally just read this paper for my biology capstone class, y'all did a really good job of distilling the main points into a more understandable form.
Cells are.. capacitors?
I'm studying electrical engineering right now, and seeing how I can draw some knowledge from completely different areas of study is fascinating.
What year are you? I'm in the first year
conradkolo keep at it and you will do well!
It's funny when you hear stuff like that and you think about how we as a species "developed new things" - technology is merely a bad copy of what we see in nature. Even if we don't know it at the time of discovery, if optimized enough, a lot of tech starts to resemble life and vice versa. Like there's proteins that tug other molecules and stuff around in our body, like tug boats do with cruise ships - they look like little walking robots.
@@Skyfox94 I disagree. While it's not suprising to see some similarities between biology and technology, the two are fundamentally different, because while technology is all about optimisation and multiplying capabilities, life is all about survival and spreading your genes. It's easy to see where these things intersect, but remember, life doesn't need to find optimised solutions to any particular problem, just one that works reliably enough to stay alive. And, perhaps, a better solution than what the competition can come up with. Sometimes when looking at certain biological processes you just have to wonder why they're so unnecessarily convoluted. The reason for that is that they just work, and that they could evolve step by step from other processes and systems that were already in place. Engineers don't have to worry about that; they can just make something from scratch. Conversely, some biological processes amaze us through their sheer complexity, and that's because life had litteral millions upon millions of years to come up with stuff.
Remember, no part of the evolution process is intentional. People design stuff, life evolves stuff. You can't really compare them in that way, one is not better than the other, and one certainly isn't "merely a bad copy" of the other.
@@onemadscientist7305 "Life" is not a thing that has will. It is merely an abstract barrier that we created.
I think there is a steady gradient that goes from basic molecules all the way to complex multi-cellular organisms that still utilize the same laws of physics and chemistry to, for some odd reason, facilitate their continuing existence either as cloned versions or genetic offspring. The stronger that mechanism, the more complex their composition and the higher their ability to manipulate the physical world by abstracting it as electochemical signals (aka "intelligence"), the more "alive" you might call those organisms.
5:53 I thought she's gonna say "made possible by curiosity stream"
Life finds a way beautiful u
Real science and real engineering should start a podcast. I personally don't listen to podcasts but I would definitely listen to these if they made them
I do listen to podcasts and would like one if it was done right/in a kind of informal tone but was still full of accurate facts etc.
I'm completely new here but this was great! I had known some vague details of this for years, but this make it all click together and made me realise just how special it really is. Thanks a lot!
Something that had never occurred to me was "the sun's energy" meant more than "the sun's energy". I had never considered it was a chemical formula. I learned something really cool today.
0:39 somebody left his Subnautica pipe network there
Maybe turn down the music a tad, it can be distracting. Otherwise, great video.
This makes me think there is life on almost any planet, in one form or another
Life can adapt to harsh environments, but I suspect it has to start out someplace gentle, because protocells are very fragile compared to modern ones
Agreed, since thinking no life due to this and that reasons. Then whoa there's life, there is way to much to learn still.
Almost any planet? Yeah nah brah, life can’t exist on gas giants and life can’t exist where liquid water is not possible
Its wonderful that this channel exists now because I’ve been wanting more technical explanations of things in biology, chemistry, and other sciences.
I appreciate this! Thank you!
It was a very good video. I can't think of any way it could have been better. It was well researched information, well presented format, and concise.
This has me wondering: What other forms of potential energy could life arise from?
I'd say there's atleast one other one
Shin Goji might say nuclear waste
I for real had Subnautica flashbacks watching this.
UnashamedlyHentai these comments annoy the hell out of me. Yes I played the game yes it gave me ocean PTSD no I do not wanna see it on every ocean video made for the next 10 years. 😂
@@wereabouttoargueaintwe4582 PTSD from a game? That sounds low

As a writer, content like this inspires me to write more science fiction.
"What were they eating down there?"
*_Gnarly space ingredients_*
The second I heard "documentary" and "David Attenborough" I immediately went to Curiosity Stream and searched for it.
@One big eye. One big ear. Sadly, I have to agree. The superb photographic work done by the BBC inspired me for many years. The voice of David Attenborough was the perfect compliment. I have found of late that they are not above misrepresenting and simply not informing to the extent of being deceptive.
I wonder as there are theories of origin of life exists, isn't it possible that life originated multiple times as these situations continued to exist for ages.
Because all life uses the same template DNA -> RNA -> amino acids -> proteins and it's same 20 amino acids, it's unlikely different forms of life would evolve to use the exact same ones too?
I started with your Commercial Diver Videos and Liquid Breathing and I really enjoy your videos. Very Methodical, well spoken/projected and great research. Thank you! Keep up the great work!
This is about the coolest doc that I have ever seen, and here is why: Maybe 15 years ago, I saw an article in Time Magazine about this. The ocean floor PSI was over 1,500 pounds and it showed a little creature living down there, next to poisonous, heated water. It made scientists rethink what it takes to start life. It is so alien, only because we have never seen this before. I LOVE the film Andromeda Strain, about inorganic life, accidentally brought back to Earth by scientists. That film makes you think outside the box like nothing else before it. ❤
One of the best You Tube science/nature videos I’ve ever seen - fantastic work.
Did the water outside of the cooler Atlantic vents have a pH of 8 or less? Do bacteria that live by harnessing the energy from the pH gradient live in the porous chimneys there, as hypothesized?
Just one critique: cells existed as prokaryotes (no membrane-bound organelles, including nuclei, king before eukaryotes, unlike what is suggested in that part of the video.
All of the videos of this channel is really wholesome, I just love it.
I just stumbled upon this absolute gem of a channel! @RealEngineering you should remote this more!
music at 6:23 was a bit too loud for me, another thing is maybe to try putting more emphasis on certain words to help separate sentences from one another so they are easier to understand and don't mix together as easily. other then that amazing video, I learned a lot!
Just one notch
Amazing video - I was hooked from the very first video I saw, you create amazingly informative videos, so please keep going!
One thing I will say though is that you do need to watch the volume of the music in the vides as they can become a bit too prominent to the point where your voice is almost droned out completely.
Thank you so much!! I've been trying to understand papers that try to explain the origin of life and thanks to your video I understand the subject way better. I have loved the video ☺️
Your narrator is excellent! Clear, and without the hideous vocal drag and uptalk that is all too common. Fantastic work!! I hope your future is wicked awesome. :)
Such a great Channel with great potential as real engineering once was. I really hope Real science grows as much as it did. Greetings from Brazil
Perfectly concise and we'll written....amazing video! The only thing that I'm missing (being a designer myself) is a lack of graphics for visualization. You talked a lot about meters and numbers at depts but it's hard to visualize some scales.
This planet is absolutely incredible!! I watched Brian Cox's The Planets and it mentioned this theory of life starting due to these vents and this video did a great job explaining everything behind this theory.
All the chem and biochem I took and studied during my days at UC Davis just lit up like a christmas tree in my head. What a freakin KICK ASS video! Thank you!
One of the more interesting presentations that I've seen in a while. When I read the title, I was afraid that it would just be more TH-cam click bait.
Awesome video! The depths of the oceans and seas are truly amazing!
Can humans be modified such that they can survive on any planet, ft real engineering.
Major description by real science but the technological barriers etc explained by real engineering 🙌
it seems highly possible that in a few hundred years we'll have technology to both genetically and technologically modify people to survive on other planets. though at what point would these people stop being people are instead turn into psuedo people/aliens?
We already kind of suck on this planet, so it's what we do to the environment that makes us well us
I'll order one up with pussy that tastes minty. If they can do that, we're off to Mars.
imagine you're a researcher that go to that place, . . . For me it's the discovery of a lifetime. A joyfull moment that words can't explain.
Exploring the oranges of life is really exciting. Go science
Carlos Darwin's "The Oranges of Life"
GB ... Go PROPAGANDA! Can anyone, even with the minimal amount of education in the biochemical life sciences, should never be duped by their 3rd-grade hypothesis regarding the beginnings of life. NO ONE KNOWS from where, and, how, life began. Hardly theoretical; rather, all hypothetical ... and here, it is propaganda.
Gediminas B when life gives you lemons
Oo man, the music
Excellent presentation! Thanks!
Excellent video ! Love it. Great job. Very nice. Thanks
Well-in college in the 60s I learned about bacteria that used a mineral source in place of photosynthesis. They were called chemolithotrophs. They lived in places like benthic muds (‘sulfurous’). This was known well before the discovery of the vents. The vents showed the existence of an ecosystem of ‘higher’ organisms. Just sayin.
Not disagreeing but science and discovery has come a long way since the 60s.
music was too loud, definitly use a compressor on a voice and try to keep it at one level
Stephanie, your narration has much improved in the short span of several episodes of _Real Science_ - that was the only ingredient missing for full enjoyment of your excellent content. Good work - this is a perfect complement to the _Real Engineering_ channel.
It's the color in some of the stuff they find that I find amazing
Great vid, quality content as always
IM, no surprise; effective propaganda is ALWAYS presented in that way.
A very informative video, good job!👍
It’s really fun to se show much I know about the stuff mentioned in the video because of AICE marine science(high school), bit surprising actually
(I didn’t know all of the cell and origin of life stuff tho)
New to channel but do glad I clicked in to see whats up n absolutely amazing
Bring some of that seafood up! Market as “cheese crabs” serve with
lots of lemon juice
This channel has recently become my favorite on TH-cam!!
Thank you for the great video!
This is interesting and information I've not previously come across. However, I now wonder if there had been any suitable vents much closer to the surface in the distant past due to the other major geological and climate conditions way back then.
Its amazing where they find life thriving. Thank you for your video! Im a science major i love the ocean and find this topic so interestimg , wow. I definetly will watch deep ocean. I took marime biology in 2007 and this wasnt well known. Technology is amazing
Thank you very much for using Degree Celsius.
While the "experts" argue the various theories as to what caused life on earth, I tend to think the water added into our environment was from a space source. That it is possible that collisions with a series of space debris such as asteroids and the like introduced water for the future development of life. And, the said water may have had the building blocks of cell development and life degenerating organisms. Possibly complex organisms to evolve through time. Of course, this leads to the concept that life as we know it is alien in nature. That all life is the result of cosmic intrusions from space sources. Some may offer the notion that this is nature's way of seeding life on ripe planets with favorable atmospheres and conditions. After all, they all claim life is impossible without water. And, much of our planet consists of water. Not only the oceans that coat earth but recent claims of subterranean oceans beneath the strata of our oceans floor. Under certain pressures and heat, these large black smokers are emitting these sources of life that can't be explained with photosynthesis. Therefore, water is not only necessary to sustain life, but also the source of life itself.
really interesting documentary … thanks for sharing.
Early life on earth as we know it was was made possible by Curiosity Stream. When inorganic compounds watched a video on Curiosity Stream about how they can bond to form organic compounds, the process of life was kickstarted. After that it was only a matter of time before which as complex as humans could be created by them. All possible only due to CURIOSITY STREAM.
Great video
Love the info. Thank you for the video as well.
On a side note, it’s getting really tiring hearing, “we did not expect this to be possible”
With the propensity of that statement, it would suggest close minds when they should be open to everything, and not say something is impossible
Kind of like how cell phone companies put a limit on infinity
Amazing discovery !! This changes many other variables, and pictures a very different world awaiting for Us in Deep Space...
These are some great videos to supplement home schooling curriculum. My sincere thanks!
Note the hybrid human/robotic approach to exploration. Send a robot scout to find a site of interest, then explore with humans in a vehicle. How it should be done! Today the trend is towards a fully robotic solution. Who can feel excited about that?
I'd like to get my hands on those vent tubes... I would be very interested in seeing the potential properties for metallurgy.
There are hundreds of thousands of them. Some have suggested millions. We just don't know. They are there for the taking but you're gonna need more than a mask, snorkel and a good pair of gloves. :)
Some starter links if you are really interested. They seem to have learned a lot.

Amazing that Robert Ballard was one of the researchers to discover hydrothermal vents, and later went to discover the Titanic wreck.
Most Important Deep Sea Discovery was when Japan Discovered a Rare-Earth Mineral Deposit That Can Supply The World For Centuries off the coast of Japan
Beautiful!
Love This!!! Thank you
This channel should have 10M subscribers

Fascinating.
I get anxious when I see this stuff.. lol. Especially when people dive deep into caves... you don’t know what sort of hellish fate you may find yourself confronting.....
Keymo-thermo-ventro-line. May have a way to organize life forms of smallest to largest within salt and fresh water transistions?
In 1890, Sergei Winogradsky proposed a novel type of life process called "anorgoxydant". His discovery suggested that some microbes could live solely on inorganic matter and emerged during his physiological research in the 1880s in Strasbourg and Zürich on sulfur, iron, and nitrogen bacteria.

The most important deep sea discovery was made a year before I was born in Woods Hole Falmouth MA which is right around where I grew up. Small world.
I had no idea about that original expedition.
I'm trying to remember where I saw this, but I know there's a general movement to remove humans from these missions to the deep sea (and to a lesser extent space, but obviously there's still the ultimate goal of offworld colonization). It had something to do with the way that even people *in* the deep-sea subs weren't looking out the windows to physically see things with their own eyes, but staring at the camera monitors instead.

What song is played @ 0:06:25 please?
What was the inspiration for this channel Brian?
What's the song that starts at 2:44?
I, recall similar images, a few years back, when the mid-Atlantic volcanic Ridge was first visited.
The aw, in the voices of those who spoke, on finding life, in a rich abundance of species, living at depth, in darkness.
Then began the guessing game, of 'How could life exist, in such a hostile environment'? ; The same way life, always finds a way to exist in hostile environments. Apparently, with relative ease, no matter the environments attributes.
i want to have a kid right now and force it to study oceanography, architecture, geology & machine engineering, just to build me a deepseacity down there.

(not that this kid and all our aftercome would have a save space to live out usa/crc ww3; just my 2 cent about your unthoughtful sarcasm)
Your videos are SO interested but I have trouble finishing some of them because the music becomes way too distracting and I can't focus on anything else
You had me when I heard the name Angus but lost me when it got all scientific, was still good to watch though.
According to Max Planck, about the nature of life. "I believe consciousness is fundamental and that matter is derived from consciousness."
Thermal vent creates heat. Is it really that big a surprise that life would find a way? The process of chemosynthesis definitely explains how differently life could develop on other planets.
I remember this discovery and hearing the theories of what this could mean about the beginning of life. The excitement of realizing it was not necessary to have the suns energy to fuel life.
this channel is so damn amazing!!
We might not know where life came from, but we all know that 7:41
That mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.
4:23 yo that looks like an ancient giant golem
It has a face too
Fascinating Lemurian and Atlantean advances finally being discovered by humanity. Look at it being dissected scientifically. Outstanding. @TomCruise
Imagine just a fraction of all the military budgets being allocated to ocean exploration
Could the high pressure of the deep sea facilitate the aggregation of organic molecules? It always puzzled me how generating protocells from amino acids and RNA’s seems go against the second law of thermodynamics.
The membrane of protocells probably was formed from lipids. Nothing magical about this.
And the second law of thermodynamics applies only to closed systems which the Earth isn't as it gets a lot of energy from the Sun.
This means that anywhere there is volcanism and thermal vents could have life on any planet or moon??? WOW!😲🤨
Amazing 💕
Hydrothermal vents make me have faith that life might still exist on earth after we destroy most other life on earth
By that time maybe the last surviving humans will be down there too
Our idea about the origin of life is like piecing together a crime scene from a few random torn pieces from a few blurry photographs! But there's one thing we're 100% certain about: The anchor of this channel has a really beautiful nerdy voice.
Sorry for being dorky, I'm serious on both the points.
