I’m in a college biochemistry class and we had to memorize the structures for the amino acids, I loved how the little animated pictures for each amino acid actually resembled the real structure for each, fantastic job on the artwork for this one!!
I was going to say this. They're so cute! And they even included selenocysteine, which scientists only recently discovered is used in the human body. My class never even talked about it.
As a biologist I can only say that this video is a masterpiece! The animation work is done beautifully to show how complex "the language of life" really is.
With my limited knowledge on biology, whatever I studied in school, the video might seem to be just an overview but the animations that were going on displayed a far more detailed way of how each mechanism goes on, great effort by the team
@@JawadBsaileh of course not coincidence, natural selection is iterative and “learns” by progressive encoding. The “intelligence” is from the bottom up.
@@JawadBsaileh It is awe inspiring! Especially if you dive deeper into the subject. I attribute it to billions of years of evolution, a time scale just as awe inspiring and beyond our comprehension.
This channel overall deserves an award for science communication. The complex topics that get broken down in a way so that nearly anyone can understand the basics of said topic is an amazing feat.
WOW, i had to think back to what was going on in this vid it was a while back.. ok.. so, u might think that this was a petty thing to bring up.. and in general on any other video it really would have been, but what this speaks to is that this person is a literal mouth piece.. i mean.. how much can u trust someone that literally just reads shit from a prompter? I didnt actually say that the rest of the vid was invalid.. tho i see ur point on the attitude.. i just feel that if something as simple as finding out how all words are actually pronounced in ur script slips by u then what else have u cut corners on? it also speaks to the fact that he prob didnt write it himself either.. but yeah i get ur point.. in general its a silly thing to nitpick! Have a great christmas and thanks for replying.@@artezui
As a Microbiologist, this video is amazingly simplified with the essence untouched and with a clear understanding of how it works. Considering how extremly complex is this, it's an incredible work!
@@aclark903 I mean, the existence of this microscopic World doesn't mean God doesn't exist. If anything, it makes God even more admirable that he created such a complex Universe.
I'm a molecular biologist and this video explains complex mechanisms in an amazingly simple manner! The artstyle is visually stunning and narration is brief and simple.
can i ask you a question i want to be a marine biologist im in the last year of school so next year i will go to college so can you give me any tips or what the requirments are for me to become a marine biologist and which country is best in studying biology and best certified please and thank you
I'm a simple-minded translator and teacher. I have never seen a message conveyed more succintly and a topic explained more thoroughly yet plainly than this. Now I have a vivid image of how my cells communicates. Great work, guys! Thank you.
This video allowed me to confirm the accuracy of this channel's content. I've studied molecular oncology for 13 years and have a PhD in Human Biology and Genetics and can say that this channel is the way to communicate science to everyone. Biology is unbelievably complex, and more I deepen knowledge into specific molecular mechanisms, and more I discover how much we don't know about it. This makes me appreciating the depths of other fields, incentivizing learning over creating superficial opinions. The superficiality by which COVID vaccines have been misjudged by the people not in the field, reminded me the importance of education and to teach critical thinking in schools.
The level of anti-intellectual movement in the US(though lower, it also exists in other Western nations) is worrying. The right-wing media joining forces with anti-intellectual movement and traditional antivaxxers created even more antivaxxers whose results is the unbelievably high preventable death toll in the US. Let's hope it changes for the better
@@hydrolifetech7911 while science and religions had contrasting opinions in the past, science will have a hard time getting through politics in the future and could get weaponized. Although we should admit religion and politics have been one institution for many countries..
@@hydrolifetech7911 So leftists saying there are more than two genders is not anti-intellectual? You can say some right-wing ideas are wrong but at least they are not treated as fact like left-wing political ideology
@@Mark-wx8ne but there are in fact more than two genders tho, not everything is binary like you think. Life is sophisticated and doesn't follow a clear pathway
@@meenispham there are only multiple genders when you deconstruct what a gender is. this is a recent sociological idea rather than fact. it's probably best to say that in your OPINION and definition of gender there exists more genders. You would of course be wrong in the canonical way gender is defined but I'm not here to change your mind
If I was a high-school science teacher, I'd consider making my class preparation loading up Kurzgesagt videos and pressing play whenever possible. For years this channel has been expanding the art of making science thought-provoking, memorable and easily understood.
I am a high school biology teacher and literally always (if available) use Kurzgesagt videos to introduce each topic. Then we can break up the video and talk, in detail, about how it all works. The amount of dedication put into each video is insane and they are the best introduction I've found to a class.
The only problem is, students are, in most of cases, dim-witted sloths that just want to end their biology - as well as any other - studies as soon as possible. And not even Kurzgesagt videos (which I do find splendid indeed) can change their mind. According to my experience both as a high-school and university student myself and a school teacher, at least.
It definitely is a useful tool for video learning, and also hands on stuff and other ways of learning can help for different people to make the abstract real
@@SuurTeoll but there’s no harm in trying ain’t it? Don’t sell yourself, and others short, cause if there’s even a slight bit of chance in triggering motivation and inspiration to those aforementioned students, then it’s always worth trying. As a STEM student, even though my heart and interests don’t deeply reside in the world of science and everything in-between, kurzgesagt always manages to strengthen my deep admiration for the art inside the subject! With enough love and passion, you can make something-even boring biology lessons-into something *beautiful* ! Case in point: this video. You’ve mentioned being a school teacher at this current time? Well, I’m sure there’s probably going to be super bored and uninterested kids out there despite how amazing a kurzgesagt video would be to us, but please don’t let this discourage you because if there’s even at least one who’s fascinated, then you’ve done a huge accomplishment as their teacher and educator!
A normal person would watch this and see an informative and interesting video, a somewhat distracted mind would think of bladerunner when you hear cells so much
I am not exaggerating when I say this, I promise you. Kurzgesagt has changed how I view learning as a whole. When I was younger I couldn't care less about nature, space, biology, and anything that required learning. This was partially because of my ADHD. I found this youtube channel about a year or two ago and it has changed that entirely. Kurzgesagt sparked a certain curiosity towards the world I never really knew before. This may also be because I simply got older, but Kurzgesagt helped. I live life, space and the mystery of all of that as a whole. I mainly want to go to college for art stuff, but I am tempted to also dive into any kind of science. As stupid and overly ambitious as this sounds it's true. Kurzgesagt is an underrated, inspirational work of art.
Make sure you dust off your math skills before taking science classes in college. A lot of classes will want you to be sharp with your algebra, maybe calculus, before getting started. Obviously it depends on the class, though.
Great comment - except for the "as stupid as this sounds" part; please don't unnecessarily put yourself down. I love STEM and I am so happy when I hear someone else is getting interested in it. Besides, the more you learn, the more you find out there is to know, and there are lots of ways for art and STEM to inspire each other. For example, Hedy Lamarr used her experience with the piano to inspire her invention of frequency hopping, a technology that latter became the basis of secure wifi.
This channel has hands down some of the best explanations of science for all ages. Thank you to everyone who works on these videos. Planning, drawing, developing, recording, everyone. Thank you all
This is the video that I've been waiting for so long. People just don't talk about Cell Biology enough when in fact, this is arguably the most diverse and fascinating field of biology. It underlies almost every thing in biology, from immunology to developmental biology to neuroscience. As a cell biologist, I feel incredibly proud to be part of this beautiful field.
@@jaypeterson9256 A video's title and thumbnail greatly affect how well it performs statistically on youtube (think clickbait, etc), so many content creators will change out thumbnails and titles and eventually stick with the one that does the best.
@@jaypeterson9256 I think it causes confusion to people as the mundane people don't immediately link the logic of cells to something similar to a code for a computer, albeit it's much more complex.
watching this as a biomedical sciences student adds a layer to it really.Awesome work to simplify something so incredibly complex that we still don't know all about it.
"If you look outside at the incredible dimension and scale of space, a place where forever is a real thing, it is almost impossible not to feel a bit small. Not special. But if you look inside, into what you really are, you just discover almost indescribable complexity, the beautiful language of life." This quote is pure genius - it captures the contrast between feeling small in the universe, yet containing a world of complexity within ourselves. It's almost like it brings balance to these two perspectives that I've felt at different times. It's a perspective I've never heard before, and it feels almost groundbreaking. Whoever wrote this quote has captured something truly special.
“The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.” -Carl Sagan. We actually are the universe looking back at itself.
All of this, just so we can hit our toe on the sofa, drop the pizza while taking it out of the oven and accidentally shit ourselves when we fart. How sad that we can be so fallible while so amazing :D
I love how they are honest and confident enough to admit when they don't know a step or two. That attitude is incredibly important in science. Great video!
I am convinced that when the narrator of In a Nutshell says, "There are steps we don't understand yet," the WE is referring to humanity as a whole, not the in a nutshell team.
This is a wonderful coincidence. I just finished my semester finals on Human Genetics yesterday which had all the topics covered in this video from what amino acids are to how they are made from DNA and how they are responsoble for most of us. I enjoyed studying this with my friend because it is just beautiful. Kurzgesagt drops a video covering the same topic and illustrates it in a much more beautiful way than my prof. Definitely sharing this one. I loved this one especially because it means something to me.
Hello. Computer science student here. Which lectures can you recommend for me to look into to learn more about the topic? Somehow I see many parallels between computer science and proteins.
I am a cellular and developmental biologist, taking masters developmental genetics and performing research on regenerative medicine. It took years of intense math, chemistry, physics, and genetics before we began discussing protein folding in 3d space, overall behavior in four dimensions, and how we can start to model them bioinformatically (6:23); however, the subject is introduced in 12 minutes flawlessly, and could be shown to middle school students. Well done!
I would not call myself a biologist if I didn’t finish my graduate degree. I’m in a PhD program now and still considered a student. There’s a huge ass difference between a finished masters program and the stuff you do during your PhD studies. Don’t embarrass yourself with all these fluff words
@@Riggiditydiggity Edit - these terms just denote what types of biology I've studied - eg, I study developmental genetics and cellular biology, as opposed to neurobiology or zoology, ecology, etc - because the term Biologist, at least where I am from, is vague.
@@Riggiditydiggity this was so unbelievably uncalled for, seriously dude what the hell is your problem?? Get your superiority complex out of here and stop embarrassing yourself, it’s pathetic
@@kms4829 "Haha im a PhD doing useless research to hit my institute's paper quota, while teaching lectures and stuffs I learnt 7 years ago! If I am not a biologist who else can be!" Meanwhile chad OP: "I like bio so I participated in a research on a field that is not even in any formal curriculum yet cuz it is challenging and fun. But still I don't nitpick and the video on this field that I definitely have expertise in since I knows that this video will only inspire more future biologist so I applaud the creator for his effort." While the comment by the Mr PhD biolojizz graduate student first reply guy will just taint public opinion on ethics of the academia and the gatekeeping culture.
Biology teachers are going to be using this video for years and years to come, I'm certain of it. I have a bachelor's in biology and now I'm in med school - but you just explained what took me years to understand in less than 12 minutes. I'm blown away by how much love and thought went into this. Incredible as always
Hey Alexandria, I’m about to enter college, with a major in biology and hopes of going to med school. How possible is it for me to maintain a 3.8+ gpa?
@@ibraheemafzal2436 it depends a bit on your natural level of intellect, but that really is just your "starting point" and some/most of that can be overcome through habits and diligence. In fact, I would say that discipline and diligence is more important than raw intellect, and I say that as someone who did poorly my first years in college despite being highly intelligent. I hadn't developed good habits and was immature, and people who were not as "intelligent" as I was (no insult to them, as they were still above average) but with better self-discipline and better personal habits and organization were able to achieve much better results than I did. Staying organized and managing your time effectively will be a key. You will have to work hard, but in a way that doesn't burn you out (you need breaks from time to time, etc). Self-discipline to, for example, get the homework done before doing major leisure activities. I'm not saying you can't relax a bit after getting home from class, to "decompress" and relax the mind before jumping back into studying. That's an important part in my opinion, actually, as going straight into homework directly after a long day of class can accelerate burnout. A short break to relax the mind or have a meal, then re-engage with the subject, works just fine. Just make sure to re-engage and do the homework or subject review before going out with friends for the evening or getting stuck in a video game for the rest of the night, etc. Don't be hesitant to ask for help or tutoring if you are stuck on a concept or aspect of a class. It will likely be difficult to maintain a high GPA, especially as you get into more complex areas of study, but it is possible. The resulting solid grasp of the material and improved habits that you develop will benefit you far beyond the academic setting. Best of luck!
I'm a scientist with a PhD in stem cell biology. The amount of work to create such self explanatory animations, together with a simple albeit not simplistic script is absolutely amazing. The service this channel does is not only for public scientific divulgation, but also scientists that lost their enthusiasm should look back at these videos to find that initial spark and sense of awe.
I rarely comment on anything on TH-cam, but I felt motivated to do so here. I used to be a Biology and Earth Science teacher and now I lead a small team of educators for a conservation organisation. I am the only one with secondary and tertiary teaching experience, so I'm currently running staff PDs to upskill my department. So far I've taken everyone through the very basics of organic chemistry, all the way up to rRNA and the beginning of cell structure. This video is beautiful, brilliantly written and so incredibly timely for me. I have used some of the very same metaphors myself. Two of my core staff are going on leave the day after tomorrow and we won't be able to do any PD for two weeks. I am showing them this tomorrow afternoon before they go on holiday. Thank you for making science awe-inspiring for millions of people.
Never seen biology explained this way. Being able to explain something clearly using metaphors shows great understanding of the underlying concept and fundamental idea rather than just the subject specific knowledge. I love this video and there is too much to be said for the awesome animations. Well done Kurzgesagt team!
I'm a biologist and I was entranced and amazed at how you guys made this insanely dense topic accessible to everyone! Amazing animation and video! Great work!!
Every so called "scientist" that does not see that the universe is a living thing is just a mechanic. His mind can only process the obvious parts of life before his eyes. Everything is alive. Life does not end at the other side of a cell's membrane. A city is an organism too. There is no isolated system in the universe. It's systems within systems, overlapping each other. God is life itself. Everything in life is connected. We are part of a greater being. Religions are just different languages, they are an attempt to communicate this insight to other humans. With science getting more and more of the picture (macrocosm, microcosm), and people getting educated about it, it will be easier and easier for everyone to understand it. For that:☮️, you have to see this:☯️.
As a geneticist in the pharmaceutical industry with a background in microbiology, I can't help but say The animation work is done beautifully to show how complex "the language of life" really is. Much more engaging than our teacher back at university :P Keep up the good work!
Even though as a person who's currently in medschool and has thoroughly studied all these concepts, these videos truly make you look into our human biology in a different way than the usual. Astonishing video as always, love you guys!
"If you look outside the incredable dimensions and scale of space, a place where forever is a real thing, its almost impossible not to feel an bit small, but if you look inside into what you really are, you discover almost indescribable complexity. The beautiful Language of Life." This can be summarised into 1 word : Equilibrium
As a biologist/biochemist this video is such a beautiful reminder of why biochemistry and microbiology captured my imagination - I have never seen the language of life explained so elegantly, clearly, accurately and beautifully as this video… it has to be the best video you’ve produced yet (and that is something given how high a bar your videos set!)
@@TechnologistAtWork oh no, my tuition definitely provided much much much more detail and a sufficient level of hand-holding. It just wasn’t as colorful and entertaining. These animations are “in a nutshell” and in no way comprehensive. This video is pretty much course introduction, maybe a couple lectures worth of basic information.
"We still don't know what life is" I would say we still haven't decided what life is... I mean, aren't we kind of writing the book on life as we observe life? Seems a bit paradoxical, but it also seems to be the only way. We are the universe trying to understand itself.
How come I never once in my life looked at it this way. Wow Edit: Obviously there are fallacies and contradictions in this idea, which many people rightly pointed out. But as an abstract thought out of the realm of logic, this does seem like a beautiful and surreal perspective, atleast to me. Like you run a simulation and the program starts to alter itself to understand itself and it's environment.
Not sure what you're trying to say. Why are you framing your proposition as a question, to which you assume we agree? I don't know what book we are "kind of writing," as you say...so I have to say, no we aren't...and thus, no, I can certainly not see why it's "the only way" nor do I even see how it's a paradox...at best, it's just a little ironic, and it's certainly not something you can use to illustrate a profound dynamic between humans and the entire universe. Yes, it's true humans do not have a great understanding about what life is...but that hard fact says NOTHING about life, the universe, and everything...it ONLY says something about humans' level of understanding.
I really needed this. Was feeling down and suicidal about personal issues, then stumble upon Film theory coma video and that sad story makes me appreciate life on a emotional sense, and this video helps me appreciate life on a technical and complex sense. Never thought about how billions of tiny robots are working endlessly to keep me alive. Can't let them down like that.
If you're still looking for things to stumble on about life, then I'd suggest giving a game called Outer Wilds a go. It's personally given me a lot to think about, even though I've never bought the game and had only experienced it through other's playthroughs - which, by the way, I don't recommend, since doing so spoils the puzzles that the game consists of. Aside from that, I hope that you have better days ahead of you. From one clump of tiny robots to another.
So glad that you've now recognized how much LIFE LOVES YOU! Life loves you on a deep level that it does everything to keep you not just alive but live well & healthy. Keep on! I'm cheering for you!! Sending all the love! 💞🥰 And I love this video. The creators do such an amazing job!!
My kids are still young and not really good in English so I made a translation to Ukrainian for them and read it simultaneously with this video. Kids enjoyed it so I decided to share it here. It broke down to the same sequences as original English subtitles in the video. 1/2 Ви - клітини. Ваші м'язи, органи, шкіра та волосся. Вони в вашій крові та кістках. Клітини - це біологічні роботи. В них немає ані бажань, ані відчуттів. Вони ніколи не сумують, та й не розважаються. Вони просто є, саме тут, саме зараз. Вони так само притомні, як то каміння, стілець, або нейтрона зірка. Клітини всього лише виконують програму, яка еволюціонувала і змінювалась протягом мільярдів років, обумовлена природнім відбором. Вони неможливі машини, але ж ось вони, рухомі лишень самими фундаментальними силами всесвіту. Найменші одиниці життя, як раз на межі де фізика стає біологією. Іноді, для того, щоб по-справжньому осягнути те, на скільки дивовижним будь-що насправді є, вам необхідно затримати дихання і зануритись дуже глибоко. То що ж насправді таке ці клітини та й як вони працюють? КОРОТШЕ КАЖУЧИ Гляньте на кімнату в якій ви зараз знаходитесь. Давайте заповнимо її до самого верху трильйонами піщинок, мільярдами рисових зерняток, сотнями тисяч виноградинок, кількома тисячами яблук та дюжиною кавунів. Саме так виглядають з середини ваші клітини. Кількісно, вони майже цілковито складаються з молекул води - те, що пісок. Вода створює в клітині желеподібне середовище, що забезпечує можливість іншим частинкам вільно рухатись всередині. Майже всі інші частинки, як то рис і фрукти - це білки. Загально, декілька мільярдів, (Більшість речей показаних у цьому відео набагато складніші в реальному житті. Ми ілюструємо їх символічно, для ясності візуального оповідання.) більше 10,000 різновидів, в залежності від функції клітини. Ваші клітини в сутності - білкові роботи, так само і життя, як таке. Насправді, всі щільні, не жирові частини вашого тіла, майже цілковито збудовані з білків - навіть ваші кістки. Білки - це мертві частинки, які змушують життя відбуватися. Як же ж це працює? МОВА ЖИТТЯ Клітинам необхідно робити багато складних речей, щоб залишатися живими: Поглинати їжу та скидати відходи, зростати і будувати структури, уникати небезпеки або реагувати на стимули, робити копії самих себе і так далі. Все це відбувається завдяки використанню мови життя. Словами цієї мови є саме білки. Ось стисле пояснення того, як ця мова працює: Все це починається з імінокислот, дрібнесеньких органічних молекул. Вони є алфавітом мови життя. Існує 21 різна амінокислота, як різні букви. Амінокислота А, амінокислота Б, В і так далі. Якщо зберете разом 50 амінокислот, вони сформують білок, який в мові життя уособлює слово. А якщо ви зберете разом багато таких білкових слів, то вийде речення, яке зветься біологічний шлях. Давайте максимально спростимо і скажімо, наприклад, вашій клітині необхідно розчинити цукор за допомогою мови життя. Вона візьме амінокислоти відповідні до літер р, о, з, ч, и, н, и, т, та и, щоб сформувати білкове слово "розчинити". Далі, складе це слово з іншими білковими словами, щоб сформувати біологічний шлях "речення", яке означає "розчинити цукор". Насправді, ця мова життя настільки складна, що не піддається уяві. Вам необхідно знати приблизно 8000 слів для того щоб вправно розмовляти людською мовою. Але мова життя нараховує щонайменше 20,000. І в той момент, як українське слово має в середньому 7 літер, людські білки складаються в середньому з 375 амінокислот. А найдовший білок має більш ніж 30,000! Крім того, клітинам необхідно виконувати тисячі дій в кожний окремий момент! Якщо вони колись припиняють розмовляти мовою життя, то помирають. Добре. Але ж, як бездумні клітини розмовляють настільки складною мовою? Давайте зануримось ще трішки глибше. Існує 21 амінокислота, які можна складати, утворюючи білки. Та білки створені з десятків та сотень, та тисяч амінокислот. Для людського білка середньої довжини в 375 амінокислот, ви отримаєте приголомшливі 6.8 * 10⁴⁹⁵ ступені можливих варіантів, які здатна створити ваша клітина. В квадрильйон гугол, гугол, гугол, гугол разів більше ніж атомів у всесвіті. Більшість з цих можливих варіантів білків негодящі. Так само, як і в людській мові, переважна більшість випадкових комбінацій літер є звичайна тарабарщина. Таким чином вам необхідно знати які слова, які білки, є мовою, щоб розмовляти нею правильно. А це вже робота вашої ДНК - довгої послідовності інструкцій. Якщо розплутати ДНК окремої клітини, її довжина складе приблизно 2м. Всі ДНК вашого тіла, з'єднані в єдину довгу стрічку, дісталися б до Сонця і повернулися на Землю більш ніж 20 разів! Приблизно 1% вашої ДНК складається з генів, які в сутності білкові словники, що містять всі слова мови життя, якою розмовляють ваші клітини. Але в той самий час гени є інструкціями з будування для всіх білків, що необхідні вашій клітині для функціонування. Решта вашої ДНК скоріш за все не є непридатною, а у своїй основі, типу набір правил. Щось на кшталт книги з граматики мови життя: Які білки треба створити та в який момент? Як багато їх вам знадобиться? Які саме білкові слова використовуються разом, та чому? Добре. Літери, слова, речення, словник та граматика. Але ж звісно все це лише метафори для чогось приголомшливо складного. Давайте зануримось ще трішки глибше, щоб хоч злегка осягнути реальність.
2/2 ЯК МЕРТВІ БІЛКИ СТВОРЮЮТЬ ЖИТТЯ Тепер, коли ми вже знаємо основні принципи, є можливість збагнути, як мертві речі створюють разом життя. І для цього нам знадобиться фундаментальна сила всесвіту - Електромагнетизм. Елементарні частинки, які створюють атоми, які в свою чергу створюють амінокислоти, мають різні заряди, які притягують або відштовхують одна одну. Всі 21 амінокислоти мають злегка відмінні заряди. Деякі більш негативні, інші - більш позитивні. Коли ваші клітини будують білки, вони складають різні амінокислоти в ланцюжки, такі собі довгі струни. Тепер, завдяки відмінності зарядів різних амінокислот, що використані, ці струни починають складатися самі з собою. Цей процес складання настільки складний, що ми все ще повністю не зрозуміли, як конкретно він працює. Але, якщо стисло, то одновимірна струна стає тривимірною структурою. Білки як такі, це тривимірні шматочки пазлу, з душе особливою формою. В світі білків, форма - це все. Тому що їх тривимірна форма визначає, які саме зони білка яким чином заряджені і це обумовлює те, як він може взаємодіяти з іншими білками! Всі ці різноманітно заряджені шматочки пазлів можуть схоплюватись разом, або відштовхувати один одного. Коли вони схоплюються, їх заряд змінюється, що може змусити їх змінити форму, що в свою чергу перетворює їх на новий білок, новий інструмент, який може робити нові речі. Ось що робить білки такими неймовірно могутніми. Ви можете робити практично все що заманеться з ними! Вони можуть з'єднуватись, як Лего, щоб створювати складні структури. Вони можуть розбирати речі. Вони можуть формувати складні мікро машини, які використовують енергію для виконання роботи. І, можливо, найбільш приголомшливе - вони можуть передавати інформацію. Уявімо, що токсична хімічна сполука потрапила до вашої клітини. Може існувати білок, необхідної форми, щоб схопитися з цим токсином. Якщо такий білок знайде цей (Це зображення є гіпотетичним прикладом можливого шляху) токсин, він змінить свою форму. В цій новій формі він тепер може з'єднатися з іншим білком, що знов змінить його форму. Цей новий білок активує мікро машину, яка напряму зв'язана з вашою ДНК, щоб віддати наказ на виготовлення особливого білка, який діє, як антидот до того токсину. Цей каскад взаємодії і є шлях про який ми розповідали раніше, речення в мові життя. Таким чином без жодної активної думки, білки вирішили проблему і врятували життя клітини. В реальності подібні шляхи можуть складатися з десятків та сотень кроків. Те як функціонує життя є неймовірно вражаюче. Якимось чином, неймовірно складні взаємодії між безглуздими та мертвими білками створюють менш безглузді і зовсім не мертві клітини. Десь тут і відбувається життя. Але ж ми все ще не знаємо, що таке життя. ЯК БЕЗГЛУЗДІ РЕЧІ СТАЮТЬ РОЗУМНИМИ РАЗОМ. Нам знадобиться інша аналогія, то давайте поговоримо про мурах. Мурахи та клітини поділяють фундаментальну якість - вони максимально безглузді. Єдина мураха буде марно ходити колами. Але як ви зберете багато мурах разом вони обмінюються інформацією і роблять дивовижні речі. Будують складні структури, самоорганізуються, піклуються про виводок або атакують ворогів. Незважаючи на те, що безглузді поодинці, разом вони стають чимось більшим. Цей феномен зустрічається усюди в природі і зветься емерджентність. Це спостереження того, як системи мають властивості та здібності, якіх не мають їх окремі частини. Саме так все в вашому тілі працює. Ваші клітини - це мішечки з білками, керовані біохімією. Але разом ці білки створюють живу істоту, яка здатна робити значні речі. Клітини це безглузді роботи, які дурніші за мурах. Але більшість з них діє разом, створюючи спеціалізовані тканини та системи органів. Від м'язів, які спонукають битися ваше серце, до мозкових клітин які дають вам можливість мислити. Якщо ви поглянете назовні у неймовірні простори та масштаби космосу, місці де вічність реальна, майже не можливо буде не відчути себе дрібним. Не особливим. Але якщо подивитесь всередину, в те, що ви насправді є то відкриєте для себе майже неосяжну складність, прекрасну мову життя.
@@AkAsHYadav-co1wh yes, but it's not that correct. For instance it translated "in a nutshell" to UA as "in two words" but it's actually has different translation.
“How dumb things are smart together” blew my mind, and the analogy with the ant and cells was perfect for someone like myself with a non-science background to understand. It would be great if you could cover complexity theory
People need to understand that it takes a lot of time to get this understanding of biology and "language of life" even while studying biology, biochemistry, medicine etc. As a med student I think this video should be in the curiculum for the first years (premed first year). Even though I knew all about that, seeing it with this animation and explanation made me understand better. I thought it was because of my lack of knowledge but seeing all the great biologist and biochemist also commenting on that really shows how great this video is. Thank you Kurzgesagt!
When you compare the number of amino acids, and all the different ways they can interact to the humble binary 1/0, you can see the order of magnitude of difference in complexity.
God, not only was the video astonishing, it was a true nostalgia trip. I loved how the metaphor was implemented, as well as the visual media used. It looked as if I was watching a program made for kids, while not be talked down like one. Great Job!
It's crazy how such complex tasks make simple things happen, and it is barely noticeable because of how quick it happens Edit: Actually should be complex tasks coming from simple things occurring instead of "complex tasks make simple things happen".
Damn, all the space videos made me feel like nothing when compared to everything out there, and somehow but unsurprisingly this video made me feel as big as the entire universe. I love how you guys always manage to make stuff I normally overlook actually interesting to learn. I’m glad I found this channel all that while back when I did, for all of this content is completely worth it.
You ARE an entire universe. ^^ That is the beauty and paradox of life - we are extremely small and utterly insignificant, yet so special and unique. We humans are the only species on this planet who can build tools so powerful that we can look almost to the beginning of time - the JWST can look so far into time and space, it can see the universe at an age of mere 260m years after the Big Bang. I find comfort in that and it makes me 100% member of team human. :)
"....but if you look inside of what you really are, you just discover almost indescribable complexity, a beautiful language of life" This made me rethink things from a different perspective, thank you
"If you look outside the incredible dimension and scale of space, a place where forever is a real thing - it is almost impossible not to feel a bit small, not special. But if you look inside into what you really are, you just discover almost indescribable complexity, The beautiful language of life" Blissful true words✨✨
This ending actually made me want to show this video to my astronomy students at the end of the year as a balm for how (metaphorically) small I made them feel all year teaching them about the mind-boggling vastness of the universe!
Every new video sets a higher benchmark for vector based animation. I'm at least five years into After Effects and with every kurzgesagt upload my soul gets crushed by how far you guys are ahead. But I can appreciate the beauty, find things to learn for animation and - of course - science! So thank you!
I mean, you are one guy, and kurzgesagt is dozens, if not hundreds. Theyve been sponsored by bill gates for gods sake. The fact your work is even comparable should be a huge milestone.
Most of the animation in this video is made in 3D, for about 2 years or so, they've been doing most of the heavy lifting with 3D animation. This is not negative in the sligthless, and let them accelerate their pipeline work. The fact that it looks like vector animation and the transition remains almost unnoticeable is amazing
Did you check out their early work when Dettmers, the founder, did most of the work by himself? They started out pretty small and simple and only have become this big and proficient over the years. Maybe this helps you to stay in good spirits. :)
Just finished third year of my analytical biochemistry undergrad degree. It has taken about that many years to understand these concepts to a sufficient level for my field. It always makes me a bit sad that this beautiful and important process will not get seen by most people. Obviously this is a simplified version but I really hope people appreciate this video and that it is a look into a mystery still being uncovered
Im 32 and just started college after not being in school in 11 years. I've gone back to be an RN and just finished my first exam in anatomy and physiology. Chapter 2 and 3 were about microbiology and some chemistry (which I can't get enough of). I'm highly considering a life long career in microbiology or biochemistry. I can sit around trees watching birds pass by myself while in complete awe as i see the world like i've never seen before. This video is really speaking to me right now. As always, great video!
I am 32 as well and started my academic journey a couple of years ago, still way later than the average person. It wasn't easy but I sticked to it and amazing things happened. I wish you the very same and more. Good luck!
I went back to univeristy late as well to study science and geology. I ended up getting a PhD and worked at NASA for a bit, but now work in mining earning mega bucks. Keep up the good work. Going to uni later in life is a gift.
That’s sooo awesome! I’m so glad you went back and you’re enjoying it 🙈 best of luck for your studies and your future. You got this! From a fellow uni student
Kurzgesagt, I want to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible work your team is doing. Words can hardly do justice to the beauty and impact of your videos. Every person in your team, from the animators to the sound engineers, scriptwriters, editors, narrators, and all the other contributors I am failing to name (my sincere apologies), is doing an outstanding job in creating a magnificent demonstration of what humans are capable of achieving. As a viewer, I'm constantly amazed by the level of detail, accuracy, and creativity in your videos. I'm sure I speak for many others when I say that your work has touched and inspired us in profound ways. Your dedication to making complex topics accessible and engaging is truly remarkable, and it's evident that each member of your team brings a unique and invaluable skill set to the table. Thank you for all that you do, and I always look forward to seeing even more of your amazing mind-expanding creations in the future!
I was watching one of their videos the other day and my son came and watched it with me. He fell in love with the animation at first and then realized he was understanding something very complex on a subject he never heard of. He now watches one or two of their videos a day!
@@vincentochs637 wow!!! that’s the best thing your son can do!!! i was also a very curious child and my parents really incentivised my learning of complex and interesting subjects and I couldn’t be more thankful for them
It astounds me how you guys always manage to explain mind-breakingly complex things in a simple way with fun and useful graphics, such that even a kid can thoroughly enjoy it - all without it ever feeling unnatural or like you're talking down. Videos like these make me wish we prioritized education so, so much more than we currently do. I can't even imagine what the world would look like if we taught our kids using engaging and fun materials that are easy to understand like these videos are. Instead of boring them to tears and stiflng any desire to explore interesting topics, it'd be amazing if the resources were there to really engage with each kid - to let them explore their individual passions instead of cramming pre-packaged lesson plans down their throats.
For me, this is one of your best, if not your best video. I've been following your channels for years and I can only say thanks to you. Sharing information should be the main objective of the internet, and your content not only gets the point and teaches us some amazing stuff but will also invite others to share what they learn and make this world a better place. Thank you!
I hope you realize that by providing this education it makes people in general more likely to pursue a career path in these fields because the topics are so interesting. Any advancements in the future will therefore have been directly or indirectly caused by you :) whether someone learned from you or interacted with someone that learned from you. Thank you for your work :) Please keep it up 💪
How elegant and simple this analogy is for such a complex topic. Not only I find Kurzgesagt videos amazingly educative but also deeply moving. More than teach your audience, I believe you inspire it.
Like the stones of a dome, the particles stand together in perfect balance and order demonstrating the eye and the tongue, for example, each to be a wondrous building, extraordinary work of art, and miracle of power. If these particles were not each officials dependent on the command of the master architect of the universe, then each particle would have to be both absolutely dominant over all the other particles in the body and absolutely subordinate to each of them; and both equal to each and, with regard to its dominant position, opposed; and both the origin and source of most of the attributes that pertain only to the Necessarily Existent One, and extremely restricted; and both in absolute form, and in the form of a perfectly ordered individual artefact that could only, through the mystery of unity, be the work of the Single One of Unity. Anyone with even a particle of consciousness would understand what an obvious impossibility this is; to attribute such an artefact to those particles. -The Flashes

ISFJ often perceive things only on the surface level (even by sensor standards), are suckers for a “pretty face", and their neuro-psychology makes them the ideal narcissitic-codependent and pawn to the ESFJ (blind-loyalty, surface level perception, susceptibility to covert-narcissism). Lastly, ISFJ are notorious for impersonating other people's identities IRL and on the internet; while ESFJ-9W1 superficially appears like an ENFJ, they have different 'neurology' and psychology.

This is probably my favorite video about biology from this channel. The part about how protiens fold and connect based on the electromagnetic charge was mind blowing. Its like where physics meets biology! So incredible.
Thank you. I had been missing a vital piece to the puzzle that has left me confused about this topic forever, and you just snapped it in place for me. I had always seen videos and diagrams of proteins doing things in cells, and I always wondered how they move around on their own and find what they are looking for - how they find the other proteins that their shapes align with. I had no idea that electromagnetism and charges were involved, and now it makes much more sense!
The short answer is water. Well, everyone in the cell is more or less interacting (because they are literally pushed by water, based on affinities), but those interactions (when not intended) take a minimal amount of time. The interactions that are intended (let's say an enzyme and a substrate) bind together for a little more time, and this interaction (by hydrogen bonds) change the enzyme structure which leads to a different function. In molecular biology and biophysics, structure = function! That's what poison does: it competes for the enzyme active site against the correct substrate, binding sometimes covalently with the enzyme and leaving it useless. But that doesn't answer fully how things move inside the cell. We can't forget that microtubules form (as quickly as they witter) almost highways inside the cell, that by interaction between correct proteins leads them to other parts of the cell. There are more things that organize proteins inside a cell, but that will come later in my semester!
Does anybody see the audio and video desinchronized in this video? It also seems like the first part of the video was cut 😢 so sad. This is the best explaination of how life works ever
As a doctor, we have Biochemistry as a subject which includes all that is mentioned in the video. Believe me, this is the best version of someone explaining so complex and difficult in a comprehensive and palatable way! If only we had videos like this studying them would have been fun. I regularly watch Kurzgesagt videos, they are precise and factually correct. The way they make animations so good everything seems connected to the voiceover explaining. I would love that someday my kids would learn from this gem of a channel!
My 4 year old son loves their immune book. He understood what bacteria,types of cells, and even the function of some immune cells such as those who eats bacteria or who brakes into pieces for getting antibodies. Only due to the great drawings
There was a time, a time where I haven't found Kurzgesagt channel while drifting mindlessly in a vast sea of youtube. The feelings that I had when I first encountered a Kurzgesagt video, has evoked once again when I watched this particular kurzgesagt video. Mindblown, excited , awestruck and happy... Those were my feelings back then, those are my feelings now when I watched this video. Thank You, Kurzgesagt
Really great job making a concept thats too complex into something everyone can understand! I even love how transperant you guys are, showing the part thats "advertising". Great job guys, keep going! We appreciate all your efforts.
As a Med Student that has seen/studied most of this stuff, I find myself so happy and in awe at seeing this. Sometimes it's amazing to take a step back and see everything you know to prepare to the future. Thanks for the inspiration, Kurzgesagt!
Dear Kurzgesagt Team, 1.) this is the best explanation of life I ever seen. Thank you! 2.) I think something went wrong it this video: the audio stream is ahead of the video with cca 1 min. It was perfect when I saw it first time , soon after the release. Tha audio starts with the "filling a room with..." part, but that part starts after the intro in the video.
I’m just in awe on how the production quality of this video has improved even more. With more animations, small details, and new techniques with creative ways to show and describe things to keep it engaging… it’s all done so well.
I'm in high school biology class and this video is truly fascinating! I showed this to my teacher and all he could say was: "This summarizes pretty much every single concept we're covering this year. Great video!" I like how intricate it is, but you could've mentioned how Amino Acids are created (mRNA starts in the nucleus then goes out to the ribosomes where the tRNA is waiting ready for protein synthesis. The ribosome then goes through each individual codon and makes an amino acid based on the codon (well technically the anti-codon given by the tRNA)).
If only more teachers used these videos to introduce a new topic get students excited! These videos would have helped me engage with some of these topics so much back when I was at school!!
Amino acids aren't made by the ribosome, but by separate metabolic pathways, after which they're attached to the proper tRNAs by enzymes (aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases), to make aminoacyl-tRNAs that can decode each codon and provide the right amino acids to the ribosome to add to the growing polypeptide when translating an mRNA.
5:26 I could be mistaken, but I think the beginning of that process is shown briefly here, although not explained. Seems like a good choice for a follow up video.
I come back to this video once in a while, just to realise how incredibly complex life really is, a it makes me appreciate what a creation I really am.
As someone with no scientific background but a huge interest in science, this is one of the best videos I've ever seen! It explains the complexity and beauty of what we actually are easy enough for someone like me to understand. Absolutely stunning work as always! The animation was so sick, loved the transition from cells to muscle tissue. Simply mesmerising
Oh yeah there's a LOT the video didn't touch on because it's incredibly complex stuff. But you now have a surface level understanding of how things work because it's so well explained and presented. It takes a lot of work to be able to explain something complex like that :)
Guys, societies should have a basic understanding of science despite the fact that we all can not be high lvl scientist because societies with understanding of science can influence their democracies to take actions for better technologies better and meaningful investmets, cleaner and more united planet .. and my personal opinion smarter and less manipulated people out there.
You already know things will get serious when they begin a video with "We have to go deeper, and so... in a nutshell: ". Absolutely loved this, truly one of the better scripts ever to simplify a topic.
This video is incredible. Thank you for all your hard work to communicate these concepts in a way that's meaningful, easy to grasp, and mind blowing all at the same time. I want to show this video to all the people who struggle to understand how unanimated molecules could lead to whole, conscious, living beings; in other words, how a dog could have evolved from a rock (their words) over billions of years.
Interesting use of language as an analogy for protein pathways. Never would've thought of that myself and might steal that in future lessons with students on biology. As always, Kurzgesagt never fails to deliver digestible summaries of incredibly complex topics.
One of the reasons why this is one of my favorite channels. I know all the stuff that he is sharing. But it's always interesting to see how he describes it and I love the animations
I studied biology at uni because of this channel. I am about the finish my degree and set to start a PhD soon. This channel started it all and I hope the next generation of scientists are set off on this journey because of this channel. Thanks In a Nutshell!
I just don't understand how the visual quality of these videos could possibly KEEP getting better.... this is insanely beautiful and heart warming. Thanks for all your incredible content!
The channel is being funded by billionaires rather then what they state by being funded by “viewer donations” to ignore the real world problems and just by saying this I’ve been put on a list
So grateful for the work you do, communicating and educating on such complex issues in an accessible way. When a video starts and I get the feeling that it's going to be a good one, I bounce excitedly in anticipation, and rock happily as I go through it, back and forth until I'm sure I got it. Nothing like understanding our existence a little better to make life more bearable and even more exciting. And this adds a joyous mindfck to the existential crisis playlist. You guys are my favorite channel. Thank you so much
This is just next level animation and storytelling! Engaging from the opening title to the floating duck in space ending! Kurzgesagt is amazingest educational channel on the tube hands down!
I must admit I fell in love with Duck when I heard her/his first "Quack" in Space! :D And maybeeee because "Kurzgesagt" is the modern gold-standart in science education.
I've only studied business and worked as a recruiter. However, I think this information is paramount for every individual to understand. It provides so much tangible context as to how and why we exist to begin with. It gives me a sense of understanding and purpose. These videos are enlightening even if you're not in a STEM field.
I have to say that, this was exactly how I felt on my biology class, when I learned about neurons and how DNA gets multiplied. I realized what incredible machines we are and how little we know about it. Thank you for visualising this feeling!
I had a period when I was interested in biochemistry and got all A's in biology but nothing I'd learned at that time made me awe as much as this video's explanation!
Cells are a really mind boggling concept, because while they themselves don't think, when working together they can create a being capable of thinking itself
Every so called "scientist" that does not see that the universe is a living thing is just a mechanic. His mind can only process the obvious parts of life before his eyes. Everything is alive. Life does not end at the other side of a cell's membrane. A city is an organism too. There is no isolated system in the universe. It's systems within systems, overlapping each other. God is life itself. Everything in life is connected. We are part of a greater being. Religions are just different languages, they are an attempt to communicate this insight to other humans. With science getting more and more of the picture (macrocosm, microcosm), and people getting educated about it, it will be easier and easier for everyone to understand it. For that:☮️, you have to see this:☯️.
This is one of the best videos on the subject I’ve seen hands down, from explaining in really simple terms to transcribing the awe felt when realizing how beautifully complex our cells actually are, and of course the art each time more amazing than before (the way the molecules are depicted at 2:24 is just gorgeous as well as more accurate). Truly a diamond
This is probably the best video I've ever seen that explains what cells are and how everything in your body communicates, driven by fairly basic chemical interactions. Bravo!
This is why I share the videos from this channel with my sister and her husband. Both of them are teachers in middle or elementary school. I'm doing my part to try and get approachable educational videos into classrooms where I can.

As a biologist I can only say that this video is a masterpiece! The animation work is done beautifully to show how complex "the language of life" really is.
With my limited knowledge on biology, whatever I studied in school, the video might seem to be just an overview but the animations that were going on displayed a far more detailed way of how each mechanism goes on, great effort by the team

I'm a simple-minded translator and teacher. I have never seen a message conveyed more succintly and a topic explained more thoroughly yet plainly than this. Now I have a vivid image of how my cells communicates. Great work, guys! Thank you.
This video allowed me to confirm the accuracy of this channel's content. I've studied molecular oncology for 13 years and have a PhD in Human Biology and Genetics and can say that this channel is the way to communicate science to everyone. Biology is unbelievably complex, and more I deepen knowledge into specific molecular mechanisms, and more I discover how much we don't know about it. This makes me appreciating the depths of other fields, incentivizing learning over creating superficial opinions. The superficiality by which COVID vaccines have been misjudged by the people not in the field, reminded me the importance of education and to teach critical thinking in schools.
The level of anti-intellectual movement in the US(though lower, it also exists in other Western nations) is worrying.

If I was a high-school science teacher, I'd consider making my class preparation loading up Kurzgesagt videos and pressing play whenever possible. For years this channel has been expanding the art of making science thought-provoking, memorable and easily understood.
Nice name lol. My middle name starts with G 😂
I am a high school biology teacher and literally always (if available) use Kurzgesagt videos to introduce each topic. Then we can break up the video and talk, in detail, about how it all works. The amount of dedication put into each video is insane and they are the best introduction I've found to a class.
The only problem is, students are, in most of cases, dim-witted sloths that just want to end their biology - as well as any other - studies as soon as possible. And not even Kurzgesagt videos (which I do find splendid indeed) can change their mind. According to my experience both as a high-school and university student myself and a school teacher, at least.
It definitely is a useful tool for video learning, and also hands on stuff and other ways of learning can help for different people to make the abstract real
@@SuurTeoll but there’s no harm in trying ain’t it? Don’t sell yourself, and others short, cause if there’s even a slight bit of chance in triggering motivation and inspiration to those aforementioned students, then it’s always worth trying. As a STEM student, even though my heart and interests don’t deeply reside in the world of science and everything in-between, kurzgesagt always manages to strengthen my deep admiration for the art inside the subject! With enough love and passion, you can make something-even boring biology lessons-into something *beautiful* ! Case in point: this video.
You’ve mentioned being a school teacher at this current time? Well, I’m sure there’s probably going to be super bored and uninterested kids out there despite how amazing a kurzgesagt video would be to us, but please don’t let this discourage you because if there’s even at least one who’s fascinated, then you’ve done a huge accomplishment as their teacher and educator!
As a normal person who breathes for living and not a biologist/doctor, this video is really very informative. Also i loved the animation.
I want to breathe for a living!
Damn, wish I could breathe
😂😂😂
A normal person would watch this and see an informative and interesting video, a somewhat distracted mind would think of bladerunner when you hear cells so much
I like how this implies biologists/doctors do something else to stay alive that isn't breathing.
Space and molecular biology, two of the most fascinating topics one can immerse himself into. Keep up the amazing work.
I am not exaggerating when I say this, I promise you. Kurzgesagt has changed how I view learning as a whole. When I was younger I couldn't care less about nature, space, biology, and anything that required learning. This was partially because of my ADHD. I found this youtube channel about a year or two ago and it has changed that entirely. Kurzgesagt sparked a certain curiosity towards the world I never really knew before. This may also be because I simply got older, but Kurzgesagt helped. I live life, space and the mystery of all of that as a whole. I mainly want to go to college for art stuff, but I am tempted to also dive into any kind of science. As stupid and overly ambitious as this sounds it's true. Kurzgesagt is an underrated, inspirational work of art.
Make sure you dust off your math skills before taking science classes in college. A lot of classes will want you to be sharp with your algebra, maybe calculus, before getting started. Obviously it depends on the class, though.
This channel sparked my interest in space- currently I want to go to college for astrophysics
@@Salteee I hate space
Great comment - except for the "as stupid as this sounds" part; please don't unnecessarily put yourself down. I love STEM and I am so happy when I hear someone else is getting interested in it. Besides, the more you learn, the more you find out there is to know, and there are lots of ways for art and STEM to inspire each other. For example, Hedy Lamarr used her experience with the piano to inspire her invention of frequency hopping, a technology that latter became the basis of secure wifi.

"If you look outside at the incredible dimension and scale of space,
a place where forever is a real thing, it is almost impossible not to feel
a bit small. Not special. But if you look inside, into what you really are,

This quote is pure genius - it captures the contrast between feeling small in the universe, yet containing a world of complexity within ourselves. It's almost like it brings balance to these two perspectives that I've felt at different times. It's a perspective I've never heard before, and it feels almost groundbreaking. Whoever wrote this quote has captured something truly special.
I honestly teared up a bit at this. It's such a beautiful sentiment.

Well done!
I would not call myself a biologist if I didn’t finish my graduate degree. I’m in a PhD program now and still considered a student. There’s a huge ass difference between a finished masters program and the stuff you do during your PhD studies. Don’t embarrass yourself with all these fluff words

Hey Alexandria, I’m about to enter college, with a major in biology and hopes of going to med school. How possible is it for me to maintain a 3.8+ gpa?
@@ibraheemafzal2436 it depends a bit on your natural level of intellect, but that really is just your "starting point" and some/most of that can be overcome through habits and diligence. In fact, I would say that discipline and diligence is more important than raw intellect, and I say that as someone who did poorly my first years in college despite being highly intelligent. I hadn't developed good habits and was immature, and people who were not as "intelligent" as I was (no insult to them, as they were still above average) but with better self-discipline and better personal habits and organization were able to achieve much better results than I did. Staying organized and managing your time effectively will be a key. You will have to work hard, but in a way that doesn't burn you out (you need breaks from time to time, etc). Self-discipline to, for example, get the homework done before doing major leisure activities. I'm not saying you can't relax a bit after getting home from class, to "decompress" and relax the mind before jumping back into studying. That's an important part in my opinion, actually, as going straight into homework directly after a long day of class can accelerate burnout. A short break to relax the mind or have a meal, then re-engage with the subject, works just fine. Just make sure to re-engage and do the homework or subject review before going out with friends for the evening or getting stuck in a video game for the rest of the night, etc. Don't be hesitant to ask for help or tutoring if you are stuck on a concept or aspect of a class. It will likely be difficult to maintain a high GPA, especially as you get into more complex areas of study, but it is possible. The resulting solid grasp of the material and improved habits that you develop will benefit you far beyond the academic setting. Best of luck!
maybe it's because you went more in-depth than this video?
this is extremely simplified, but yea, it does explain many of the fundamental parts of the subject
I'm a scientist with a PhD in stem cell biology. The amount of work to create such self explanatory animations, together with a simple albeit not simplistic script is absolutely amazing. The service this channel does is not only for public scientific divulgation, but also scientists that lost their enthusiasm should look back at these videos to find that initial spark and sense of awe.
Definitely!
I rarely comment on anything on TH-cam, but I felt motivated to do so here. I used to be a Biology and Earth Science teacher and now I lead a small team of educators for a conservation organisation. I am the only one with secondary and tertiary teaching experience, so I'm currently running staff PDs to upskill my department. So far I've taken everyone through the very basics of organic chemistry, all the way up to rRNA and the beginning of cell structure. This video is beautiful, brilliantly written and so incredibly timely for me. I have used some of the very same metaphors myself. Two of my core staff are going on leave the day after tomorrow and we won't be able to do any PD for two weeks. I am showing them this tomorrow afternoon before they go on holiday. Thank you for making science awe-inspiring for millions of people.

Every so called "scientist" that does not see that the universe is a living thing is just a mechanic. His mind can only process the obvious parts of life before his eyes.
Everything is alive. Life does not end at the other side of a cell's membrane. A city is an organism too. There is no isolated system in the universe. It's systems within systems, overlapping each other.
God is life itself. Everything in life is connected. We are part of a greater being. Religions are just different languages, they are an attempt to communicate this insight to other humans. With science getting more and more of the picture (macrocosm, microcosm), and people getting educated about it, it will be easier and easier for everyone to understand it.

@@AnimalMother60 I was talking about the animations, not the educational value.
"We still don't know what life is" I would say we still haven't decided what life is... I mean, aren't we kind of writing the book on life as we observe life? Seems a bit paradoxical, but it also seems to be the only way. We are the universe trying to understand itself.
How come I never once in my life looked at it this way. Wow
Edit: Obviously there are fallacies and contradictions in this idea, which many people rightly pointed out. But as an abstract thought out of the realm of logic, this does seem like a beautiful and surreal perspective, atleast to me. Like you run a simulation and the program starts to alter itself to understand itself and it's environment.
The universe created humans in order to understand itself. Okay... but why the universe was created in the first place?
I was literally just listening to the song "Insane" a minute ago.
Not sure what you're trying to say. Why are you framing your proposition as a question, to which you assume we agree? I don't know what book we are "kind of writing," as you say...so I have to say, no we aren't...and thus, no, I can certainly not see why it's "the only way" nor do I even see how it's a paradox...at best, it's just a little ironic, and it's certainly not something you can use to illustrate a profound dynamic between humans and the entire universe. Yes, it's true humans do not have a great understanding about what life is...but that hard fact says NOTHING about life, the universe, and everything...it ONLY says something about humans' level of understanding.

Ви - клітини. Ваші м'язи, органи, шкіра та волосся. Вони в вашій крові та кістках.
Клітини - це біологічні роботи. В них немає ані бажань, ані відчуттів. Вони
ніколи не сумують, та й не розважаються. Вони просто є, саме тут, саме зараз. Вони так само притомні,
як то каміння, стілець, або нейтрона зірка. Клітини всього лише виконують програму, яка
еволюціонувала і змінювалась протягом мільярдів років, обумовлена природнім відбором.
Вони неможливі машини, але ж ось вони, рухомі лишень самими фундаментальними силами
всесвіту. Найменші одиниці життя, як раз на межі де фізика стає біологією.
Іноді, для того, щоб по-справжньому осягнути те, на скільки дивовижним будь-що насправді є, вам необхідно
затримати дихання і зануритись дуже глибоко. То що ж насправді таке ці клітини та й як вони працюють?
КОРОТШЕ КАЖУЧИ
Гляньте на кімнату в якій ви зараз знаходитесь.
Давайте заповнимо її до самого верху трильйонами піщинок, мільярдами рисових зерняток,
сотнями тисяч виноградинок, кількома тисячами яблук та дюжиною кавунів.
Саме так виглядають з середини ваші клітини.
Кількісно, вони майже цілковито складаються з молекул води - те, що пісок. Вода
створює в клітині желеподібне середовище, що забезпечує можливість іншим частинкам вільно рухатись всередині.
Майже всі інші частинки, як то рис і фрукти - це білки. Загально, декілька мільярдів,
(Більшість речей показаних у цьому відео набагато складніші в реальному житті. Ми ілюструємо їх символічно, для ясності візуального оповідання.)
більше 10,000 різновидів, в залежності від функції клітини.
Ваші клітини в сутності - білкові роботи, так само і життя, як таке.
Насправді, всі щільні, не жирові частини вашого тіла, майже цілковито збудовані з білків - навіть ваші кістки.
Білки - це мертві частинки, які змушують життя відбуватися. Як же ж це працює?
МОВА ЖИТТЯ
Клітинам необхідно робити багато складних речей, щоб залишатися живими: Поглинати їжу та скидати відходи,
зростати і будувати структури, уникати небезпеки або реагувати на стимули, робити копії самих себе і так далі.
Все це відбувається завдяки використанню мови життя. Словами цієї мови є саме білки.
Ось стисле пояснення того, як ця мова працює:
Все це починається з імінокислот, дрібнесеньких органічних молекул. Вони є алфавітом мови
життя. Існує 21 різна амінокислота, як різні букви. Амінокислота А, амінокислота Б, В і так далі.
Якщо зберете разом 50 амінокислот,
вони сформують білок, який в мові життя уособлює слово.
А якщо ви зберете разом багато таких білкових слів, то вийде речення, яке зветься біологічний шлях.
Давайте максимально спростимо і скажімо, наприклад, вашій клітині необхідно розчинити цукор за допомогою
мови життя. Вона візьме амінокислоти відповідні до літер р, о, з, ч, и, н, и, т, та и,
щоб сформувати білкове слово "розчинити". Далі, складе це слово з іншими білковими словами,
щоб сформувати біологічний шлях "речення", яке означає "розчинити цукор".
Насправді, ця мова життя настільки складна, що не піддається уяві. Вам необхідно знати приблизно
8000 слів для того щоб вправно розмовляти людською мовою. Але мова життя нараховує
щонайменше 20,000. І в той момент, як українське слово має в середньому 7 літер,
людські білки складаються в середньому з 375 амінокислот. А найдовший білок має більш ніж 30,000!
Крім того, клітинам необхідно виконувати тисячі дій в кожний окремий момент! Якщо вони колись
припиняють розмовляти мовою життя, то помирають.
Добре. Але ж, як бездумні клітини розмовляють настільки складною мовою?
Давайте зануримось ще трішки глибше.
Існує 21 амінокислота, які можна складати, утворюючи білки. Та білки створені з десятків та сотень, та тисяч амінокислот. Для людського білка середньої довжини в 375 амінокислот, ви отримаєте приголомшливі 6.8 * 10⁴⁹⁵ ступені можливих варіантів, які здатна створити ваша
клітина. В квадрильйон гугол, гугол, гугол, гугол разів більше ніж атомів у всесвіті.
Більшість з цих можливих варіантів білків негодящі. Так само, як і в людській мові,
переважна більшість випадкових комбінацій літер є звичайна тарабарщина. Таким чином вам необхідно знати які слова,
які білки, є мовою, щоб розмовляти нею правильно.
А це вже робота вашої ДНК - довгої послідовності інструкцій. Якщо розплутати ДНК окремої клітини,
її довжина складе приблизно 2м. Всі ДНК вашого тіла, з'єднані в єдину довгу стрічку,
дісталися б до Сонця і повернулися на Землю більш ніж 20 разів!
Приблизно 1% вашої ДНК складається з генів, які в сутності білкові
словники, що містять всі слова мови життя, якою розмовляють ваші клітини.
Але в той самий час гени є інструкціями з будування для всіх білків, що необхідні вашій клітині для функціонування.
Решта вашої ДНК скоріш за все не є непридатною, а у своїй основі, типу набір правил. Щось на кшталт
книги з граматики мови життя: Які білки треба створити та в який момент? Як багато їх вам знадобиться? Які саме білкові слова використовуються разом, та чому?
Добре. Літери, слова, речення, словник та граматика. Але ж звісно все це лише метафори
для чогось приголомшливо складного. Давайте зануримось ще трішки глибше, щоб хоч злегка осягнути реальність.

ЯК МЕРТВІ БІЛКИ СТВОРЮЮТЬ ЖИТТЯ
Тепер, коли ми вже знаємо основні принципи, є можливість збагнути, як мертві речі створюють разом життя.
І для цього нам знадобиться фундаментальна сила всесвіту - Електромагнетизм.
Елементарні частинки, які створюють атоми, які в свою чергу створюють амінокислоти,
мають різні заряди, які притягують або відштовхують одна одну.
Всі 21 амінокислоти мають злегка відмінні заряди.
Деякі більш негативні, інші - більш позитивні.
Коли ваші клітини будують білки, вони складають різні амінокислоти в ланцюжки, такі собі довгі
струни. Тепер, завдяки відмінності зарядів різних амінокислот, що використані, ці струни починають
складатися самі з собою. Цей процес складання настільки складний, що ми все ще повністю
не зрозуміли, як конкретно він працює. Але, якщо стисло, то одновимірна струна стає тривимірною структурою.
Білки як такі, це тривимірні шматочки пазлу, з душе особливою формою. В світі білків,
форма - це все. Тому що їх тривимірна форма визначає, які саме
зони білка яким чином заряджені і це обумовлює те, як він може взаємодіяти з іншими білками!
Всі ці різноманітно заряджені шматочки пазлів можуть схоплюватись разом, або відштовхувати один одного.
Коли вони схоплюються, їх заряд змінюється, що може змусити їх змінити форму,
що в свою чергу перетворює їх на новий білок, новий інструмент, який може робити нові речі.
Ось що робить білки такими неймовірно могутніми. Ви можете робити практично все що заманеться
з ними! Вони можуть з'єднуватись, як Лего, щоб створювати складні структури. Вони
можуть розбирати речі. Вони можуть формувати складні мікро машини, які використовують енергію для виконання роботи.
І, можливо, найбільш приголомшливе - вони можуть передавати інформацію. Уявімо, що токсична хімічна сполука
потрапила до вашої клітини. Може існувати білок, необхідної форми, щоб схопитися з цим токсином. Якщо такий білок знайде цей
(Це зображення є гіпотетичним прикладом можливого шляху)
токсин, він змінить свою форму. В цій новій формі він тепер може з'єднатися з іншим білком,
що знов змінить його форму. Цей новий білок активує мікро машину, яка напряму зв'язана
з вашою ДНК, щоб віддати наказ на виготовлення особливого білка, який діє, як антидот до того токсину.
Цей каскад взаємодії і є шлях про який ми розповідали раніше, речення в мові життя.
Таким чином без жодної активної думки, білки вирішили проблему і врятували життя
клітини. В реальності подібні шляхи можуть складатися з десятків та сотень кроків.
Те як функціонує життя є неймовірно вражаюче.
Якимось чином, неймовірно складні взаємодії між безглуздими та мертвими білками створюють менш безглузді
і зовсім не мертві клітини. Десь тут і відбувається життя. Але ж ми все ще не знаємо, що таке життя.
ЯК БЕЗГЛУЗДІ РЕЧІ СТАЮТЬ РОЗУМНИМИ РАЗОМ.
Нам знадобиться інша аналогія, то давайте поговоримо про мурах. Мурахи та клітини поділяють фундаментальну якість -
вони максимально безглузді. Єдина мураха буде марно ходити колами. Але як ви зберете багато
мурах разом вони обмінюються інформацією і роблять дивовижні речі. Будують складні структури,
самоорганізуються, піклуються про виводок або атакують ворогів.
Незважаючи на те, що безглузді поодинці, разом вони стають чимось більшим.
Цей феномен зустрічається усюди в природі і зветься емерджентність. Це
спостереження того, як системи мають властивості та здібності, якіх не мають їх окремі частини.
Саме так все в вашому тілі працює. Ваші клітини - це мішечки з білками, керовані біохімією.
Але разом ці білки створюють живу істоту, яка здатна робити значні речі.
Клітини це безглузді роботи, які дурніші за мурах. Але
більшість з них діє разом, створюючи спеціалізовані тканини та системи органів.
Від м'язів, які спонукають битися ваше серце, до мозкових клітин які дають вам можливість мислити.
Якщо ви поглянете назовні у неймовірні простори та масштаби космосу,
місці де вічність реальна, майже не можливо буде не відчути себе
дрібним. Не особливим. Але якщо подивитесь всередину, в те, що ви насправді є
то відкриєте для себе майже неосяжну складність, прекрасну мову життя.

You are doing a great job. Your kids are very lucky!
“How dumb things are smart together” blew my mind, and the analogy with the ant and cells was perfect for someone like myself with a non-science background to understand. It would be great if you could cover complexity theory
People need to understand that it takes a lot of time to get this understanding of biology and "language of life" even while studying biology, biochemistry, medicine etc. As a med student I think this video should be in the curiculum for the first years (premed first year).
Even though I knew all about that, seeing it with this animation and explanation made me understand better. I thought it was because of my lack of knowledge but seeing all the great biologist and biochemist also commenting on that really shows how great this video is.
Thank you Kurzgesagt!
Nah. You see, this video was funded by Bill Gates. That means everything in this video is immediately false and propaganda
/s
As a computer science major, this video truly made it seem like our billions or trillions transistors still couldn’t replicate this language of life.
When you compare the number of amino acids, and all the different ways they can interact to the humble binary 1/0, you can see the order of magnitude of difference in complexity.

That is the beauty and paradox of life - we are extremely small and utterly insignificant, yet so special and unique.
We humans are the only species on this planet who can build tools so powerful that we can look almost to the beginning of time - the JWST can look so far into time and space, it can see the universe at an age of mere 260m years after the Big Bang.
I find comfort in that and it makes me 100% member of team human. :)
The visuals in this videos are stunning, I always love how creative they get while representing the smallest things
Thanks!
"....but if you look inside of what you really are, you just discover almost indescribable complexity, a beautiful language of life"
This made me rethink things from a different perspective, thank you

But if you look inside into what you really are,
you just discover almost indescribable complexity,
The beautiful language of life"

Every new video sets a higher benchmark for vector based animation. I'm at least five years into After Effects and with every kurzgesagt upload my soul gets crushed by how far you guys are ahead. But I can appreciate the beauty, find things to learn for animation and - of course - science! So thank you!
I mean, you are one guy, and kurzgesagt is dozens, if not hundreds. Theyve been sponsored by bill gates for gods sake. The fact your work is even comparable should be a huge milestone.
Most of the animation in this video is made in 3D, for about 2 years or so, they've been doing most of the heavy lifting with 3D animation. This is not negative in the sligthless, and let them accelerate their pipeline work. The fact that it looks like vector animation and the transition remains almost unnoticeable is amazing
Did you check out their early work when Dettmers, the founder, did most of the work by himself?
They started out pretty small and simple and only have become this big and proficient over the years.
Maybe this helps you to stay in good spirits. :)

Just finished third year of my analytical biochemistry undergrad degree. It has taken about that many years to understand these concepts to a sufficient level for my field. It always makes me a bit sad that this beautiful and important process will not get seen by most people. Obviously this is a simplified version but I really hope people appreciate this video and that it is a look into a mystery still being uncovered
Im 32 and just started college after not being in school in 11 years. I've gone back to be an RN and just finished my first exam in anatomy and physiology. Chapter 2 and 3 were about microbiology and some chemistry (which I can't get enough of). I'm highly considering a life long career in microbiology or biochemistry. I can sit around trees watching birds pass by myself while in complete awe as i see the world like i've never seen before. This video is really speaking to me right now. As always, great video!
I am 32 as well and started my academic journey a couple of years ago, still way later than the average person. It wasn't easy but I sticked to it and amazing things happened. I wish you the very same and more. Good luck!
Science is far more healthy and satisfying career than clinical healthcare. If the work makes you happy, go for it.
I went back to univeristy late as well to study science and geology. I ended up getting a PhD and worked at NASA for a bit, but now work in mining earning mega bucks. Keep up the good work. Going to uni later in life is a gift.

Kurzgesagt, I want to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible work your team is doing. Words can hardly do justice to the beauty and impact of your videos. Every person in your team, from the animators to the sound engineers, scriptwriters, editors, narrators, and all the other contributors I am failing to name (my sincere apologies), is doing an outstanding job in creating a magnificent demonstration of what humans are capable of achieving.
As a viewer, I'm constantly amazed by the level of detail, accuracy, and creativity in your videos. I'm sure I speak for many others when I say that your work has touched and inspired us in profound ways. Your dedication to making complex topics accessible and engaging is truly remarkable, and it's evident that each member of your team brings a unique and invaluable skill set to the table.
Thank you for all that you do, and I always look forward to seeing even more of your amazing mind-expanding creations in the future!
I was watching one of their videos the other day and my son came and watched it with me. He fell in love with the animation at first and then realized he was understanding something very complex on a subject he never heard of. He now watches one or two of their videos a day!

It astounds me how you guys always manage to explain mind-breakingly complex things in a simple way with fun and useful graphics, such that even a kid can thoroughly enjoy it - all without it ever feeling unnatural or like you're talking down.
Videos like these make me wish we prioritized education so, so much more than we currently do. I can't even imagine what the world would look like if we taught our kids using engaging and fun materials that are easy to understand like these videos are. Instead of boring them to tears and stiflng any desire to explore interesting topics, it'd be amazing if the resources were there to really engage with each kid - to let them explore their individual passions instead of cramming pre-packaged lesson plans down their throats.
I completely agree with you and really hope we see that future
well said i agree
For me, this is one of your best, if not your best video. I've been following your channels for years and I can only say thanks to you. Sharing information should be the main objective of the internet, and your content not only gets the point and teaches us some amazing stuff but will also invite others to share what they learn and make this world a better place. Thank you!
I hope you realize that by providing this education it makes people in general more likely to pursue a career path in these fields because the topics are so interesting.
Any advancements in the future will therefore have been directly or indirectly caused by you :) whether someone learned from you or interacted with someone that learned from you.
Thank you for your work :)
Please keep it up 💪
whoa, to think, maybe when we're old, some great scientific breakthrough then will be made by someone that watched Kurzgesagt... maybe even this clip
I like this approach. It really make people want to learn and make science interesting.
How elegant and simple this analogy is for such a complex topic. Not only I find Kurzgesagt videos amazingly educative but also deeply moving. More than teach your audience, I believe you inspire it.
Literally one of the finest works in the history of science communication.
This is what I wanted to say, you said it better. Conpletely agree!
You must not have seen very many then.
Like the stones of a dome, the particles stand together in perfect balance and order demonstrating the eye and the tongue, for example, each to be a wondrous building, extraordinary work of art, and miracle of power.
If these particles were not each officials dependent on the command of the master architect of the universe,
then each particle would have to be both absolutely dominant over all the other particles in the body and absolutely subordinate to each of them; and both equal to each and, with regard to its dominant position, opposed;
and both the origin and source of most of the attributes that pertain only to the Necessarily Existent One,
and extremely restricted; and both in absolute form, and in the form of a perfectly ordered individual artefact that could only, through the mystery of unity, be the work of the Single One of Unity.
Anyone with even a particle of consciousness would understand what an obvious impossibility this is; to attribute such an artefact to those particles.

.............................
"Evil" is the antithesis to the virtue: 'humanity'. Humanity is the characteristic that defines the human spirit. Humanity is symbiosis across humans and society. 'Humanity' exceeds 'social-darwinism'.
.............................
NEURO-PERSONALITY
.............................
"SENSORY-FEELERS" ARE LARGELY RESPONSIBLE FOR SPREADING DISINFORMATION AND HATE TOWARDS ENTJ/INTJ (AGAINST "THINKERS" IN GENERAL)-BOTH IRL AND ON THE INTERNET; DESPITE THOSE NEURO-PERSONALITY TYPES BEING A BLESSING TO SOCIETY AND ALL OF MANKIND! THEY DESERVE BETTER! 😤
'ESFJ', 'ESFP', ISFP and ISFJ are a pathogen to humanity, and 'then' Cluster-B (depending on they neuro-personality).
THEIR "FEELINGS 'IS' THEIR REALITY", THEY ALSO HAVE A MALICIOUS-MIND BY DEFAULT (excluding normal ISFJ). DESPITE HAVING MALICIOUS INTENT THEY ARE ALL EMOTIONALLY-WEAK AND PRONE TO COVERT/VULNERABLE-NARCISSISM.
...............................
Also... To intelligent readers (who do 'not’ have a ‘pathological disregard for rationality and reality').
I recommend researching 'narcissistic personality disorder' (NPD) / 'cluster-B'; and know that they are the 'root of all evil' (especially 'ESFJ/ESTJ-narcissist'; Myers-Briggs reference, look it up)!
European 'ESFJ' are the worst personality type, and they are responsible for inventing 'racism' and colonization! It is in their neuro-psychology!!!
They are extremely 'manipulative' and often use 'looking pretty' to distract others from the witch's mind-games / mind-r@pe, e.g. gaslighting, playing the victim/damsel in distress, creating "flying-monkeys", and 'bribing' others (with money or BJ) to attack, or at times, kill someone for her. When caught, she will use her minions as scapegoats. European ESFJ are notorious for this especially in a racist context, e.g. Emmett Till.
xSFP and ISFJ (2W1) are the most complicit, narcissistic-enablers. ISFP also tend to be 'oblivious-codependents' (look up the definition). Like ESFJ, XSFP's "feelings 'is' their reality." Most are covert/vulnerable-narcissists.
ISFJ often perceive things only on the surface level (even by sensor standards), are suckers for a “pretty face", and their neuro-psychology makes them the ideal narcissitic-codependent and pawn to the ESFJ (blind-loyalty, surface level perception, susceptibility to covert-narcissism).
Lastly, ISFJ are notorious for impersonating other people's identities IRL and on the internet; while ESFJ-9W1 superficially appears like an ENFJ, they have different 'neurology' and psychology. Both XSFJ are superficial by nature and perceive reality at face-value/surface level.
SUMMARY
Evil personality: 'ESFJ' (ALL), ESTJ (Cluster-b), ISFJ-2W1 (covert-narc/enabler). ESFJ-9W1 superficially resembles ENFJ; different 'neurology' and psychology.
[Secretly] Evil and narcissist-friendly gunts/flying-monkey: ISFP (ALL), ESFP (ALL), and ISFJ (2W1 enable ESFJ).
☝️ALL of them are secretly emotionally-disturbed, hence their need to create conflict as a distraction (at other people's expense, truly evil).

What a wonderful metaphor! As a future language teacher and former biotechnology student, your video is both touching and exhilarating!
As a sentient bunch of cells, I can say I cried, thank you💚
Obj
Meanwhile the cells going through hoops and loops to make you shed tears
Thank you. I had been missing a vital piece to the puzzle that has left me confused about this topic forever, and you just snapped it in place for me. I had always seen videos and diagrams of proteins doing things in cells, and I always wondered how they move around on their own and find what they are looking for - how they find the other proteins that their shapes align with. I had no idea that electromagnetism and charges were involved, and now it makes much more sense!
Don't forget their huge numbers and brownian motion keeping them well mixed.
The short answer is water. Well, everyone in the cell is more or less interacting (because they are literally pushed by water, based on affinities), but those interactions (when not intended) take a minimal amount of time. The interactions that are intended (let's say an enzyme and a substrate) bind together for a little more time, and this interaction (by hydrogen bonds) change the enzyme structure which leads to a different function. In molecular biology and biophysics, structure = function! That's what poison does: it competes for the enzyme active site against the correct substrate, binding sometimes covalently with the enzyme and leaving it useless. But that doesn't answer fully how things move inside the cell. We can't forget that microtubules form (as quickly as they witter) almost highways inside the cell, that by interaction between correct proteins leads them to other parts of the cell. There are more things that organize proteins inside a cell, but that will come later in my semester!
There's also motor proteins
Does anybody see the audio and video desinchronized in this video? It also seems like the first part of the video was cut 😢 so sad. This is the best explaination of how life works ever
As a doctor, we have Biochemistry as a subject which includes all that is mentioned in the video. Believe me, this is the best version of someone explaining so complex and difficult in a comprehensive and palatable way! If only we had videos like this studying them would have been fun. I regularly watch Kurzgesagt videos, they are precise and factually correct. The way they make animations so good everything seems connected to the voiceover explaining. I would love that someday my kids would learn from this gem of a channel!
My 4 year old son loves their immune book. He understood what bacteria,types of cells, and even the function of some immune cells such as those who eats bacteria or who brakes into pieces for getting antibodies. Only due to the great drawings

Dear Kurzgesagt Team,
1.) this is the best explanation of life I ever seen. Thank you!
2.) I think something went wrong it this video: the audio stream is ahead of the video with cca 1 min. It was perfect when I saw it first time , soon after the release. Tha audio starts with the "filling a room with..." part, but that part starts after the intro in the video.
I’m just in awe on how the production quality of this video has improved even more. With more animations, small details, and new techniques with creative ways to show and describe things to keep it engaging… it’s all done so well.
I'm in high school biology class and this video is truly fascinating! I showed this to my teacher and all he could say was: "This summarizes pretty much every single concept we're covering this year. Great video!"
I like how intricate it is, but you could've mentioned how Amino Acids are created (mRNA starts in the nucleus then goes out to the ribosomes where the tRNA is waiting ready for protein synthesis. The ribosome then goes through each individual codon and makes an amino acid based on the codon (well technically the anti-codon given by the tRNA)).
If only more teachers used these videos to introduce a new topic get students excited! These videos would have helped me engage with some of these topics so much back when I was at school!!
Amino acids aren't made by the ribosome, but by separate metabolic pathways, after which they're attached to the proper tRNAs by enzymes (aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases), to make aminoacyl-tRNAs that can decode each codon and provide the right amino acids to the ribosome to add to the growing polypeptide when translating an mRNA.
5:26 I could be mistaken, but I think the beginning of that process is shown briefly here, although not explained. Seems like a good choice for a follow up video.
@@footleg3310 I think that’s supposed to be rna polymerase or something
Loved the blurry out-of-focus effect you used to show depth inside cells.
I come back to this video once in a while, just to realise how incredibly complex life really is, a it makes me appreciate what a creation I really am.
As someone with no scientific background but a huge interest in science, this is one of the best videos I've ever seen! It explains the complexity and beauty of what we actually are easy enough for someone like me to understand. Absolutely stunning work as always! The animation was so sick, loved the transition from cells to muscle tissue. Simply mesmerising
Oh yeah there's a LOT the video didn't touch on because it's incredibly complex stuff. But you now have a surface level understanding of how things work because it's so well explained and presented. It takes a lot of work to be able to explain something complex like that :)
Guys, societies should have a basic understanding of science despite the fact that we all can not be high lvl scientist because societies with understanding of science can influence their democracies to take actions for better technologies better and meaningful investmets, cleaner and more united planet .. and my personal opinion smarter and less manipulated people out there.
The quality of the animation this time around is positively stunning, been a fan for many years and it somehow just keeps getting better.
You already know things will get serious when they begin a video with "We have to go deeper, and so... in a nutshell: ". Absolutely loved this, truly one of the better scripts ever to simplify a topic.
This video is incredible. Thank you for all your hard work to communicate these concepts in a way that's meaningful, easy to grasp, and mind blowing all at the same time. I want to show this video to all the people who struggle to understand how unanimated molecules could lead to whole, conscious, living beings; in other words, how a dog could have evolved from a rock (their words) over billions of years.
ixi music - Go get 'em!
Interesting use of language as an analogy for protein pathways. Never would've thought of that myself and might steal that in future lessons with students on biology. As always, Kurzgesagt never fails to deliver digestible summaries of incredibly complex topics.
One of the reasons why this is one of my favorite channels. I know all the stuff that he is sharing. But it's always interesting to see how he describes it and I love the animations
I studied biology at uni because of this channel. I am about the finish my degree and set to start a PhD soon. This channel started it all and I hope the next generation of scientists are set off on this journey because of this channel. Thanks In a Nutshell!
Congratulations!!!!
I’m also a biology major
I just don't understand how the visual quality of these videos could possibly KEEP getting better.... this is insanely beautiful and heart warming. Thanks for all your incredible content!
The channel is being funded by billionaires rather then what they state by being funded by “viewer donations” to ignore the real world problems and just by saying this I’ve been put on a list
So grateful for the work you do, communicating and educating on such complex issues in an accessible way. When a video starts and I get the feeling that it's going to be a good one, I bounce excitedly in anticipation, and rock happily as I go through it, back and forth until I'm sure I got it. Nothing like understanding our existence a little better to make life more bearable and even more exciting. And this adds a joyous mindfck to the existential crisis playlist. You guys are my favorite channel. Thank you so much
This is just next level animation and storytelling! Engaging from the opening title to the floating duck in space ending! Kurzgesagt is amazingest educational channel on the tube hands down!
I must admit I fell in love with Duck when I heard her/his first "Quack" in Space! :D
And maybeeee because "Kurzgesagt" is the modern gold-standart in science education.
I've only studied business and worked as a recruiter. However, I think this information is paramount for every individual to understand. It provides so much tangible context as to how and why we exist to begin with. It gives me a sense of understanding and purpose. These videos are enlightening even if you're not in a STEM field.
I have to say that, this was exactly how I felt on my biology class, when I learned about neurons and how DNA gets multiplied. I realized what incredible machines we are and how little we know about it.
Thank you for visualising this feeling!
I had a period when I was interested in biochemistry and got all A's in biology but nothing I'd learned at that time made me awe as much as this video's explanation!
The entire analogy of letters, words and sentences of the story of life is perfect. The writers have outdone themselves on this video, amazing work!
"The place where _forever_ is a real thing" is such a beautiful sentence.
Cells are a really mind boggling concept, because while they themselves don't think, when working together they can create a being capable of thinking itself
They definitely think. Information processing is thinking. There are different kinds sure, but still 💟
Every so called "scientist" that does not see that the universe is a living thing is just a mechanic. His mind can only process the obvious parts of life before his eyes.
Everything is alive. Life does not end at the other side of a cell's membrane. A city is an organism too. There is no isolated system in the universe. It's systems within systems, overlapping each other.
God is life itself. Everything in life is connected. We are part of a greater being. Religions are just different languages, they are an attempt to communicate this insight to other humans. With science getting more and more of the picture (macrocosm, microcosm), and people getting educated about it, it will be easier and easier for everyone to understand it.
For that:☮️, you have to see this:☯️.
