    I’ve only just found this channel today, but I love it a whole lot. This is the calmest I’ve ever heard either of the Green brothers speaking, and it’s just absolutely lovely. Also, gets me real excited about nature, for some reason. Like, specifically the microbial aspect of this makes me excited to go on the hike I’m planning tomorrow. I don’t have a microscope and I’m not going to hunt for microbes, but it’s just cool that life is always around. It gets me real excited to go out into the natural world with the knowledge that, whether or not I can see anything moving, something somewhere definitely is.

    a word of laboratory advice, is that distilled water will "leach" or "destroy" the chemistry/minerals from the system, thus depleting them from the sample. sometimes it's wise to use water of the same "source" or "vicinity", and to pasteurize it.

    A year ago I sealed water from my pond in a small 2 inch water tight container and kept it in direct sunlight by the window. It hasn't been touched and the ever changing colours and dots is amazing to watch over time. Now its Spring a green slime has started with clear gel blobs here and there and they are themselves now changing and forming one blob and little white specs have appeared completly static but growing in number. I'm going to leave it unnoticed through the summer. Would you like the sample sometime in Autumn?

    • I often wonder what you do with the samples after you're done with them. After seeing them up close like that, it feels wrong to imagine you just flush them down the drain, it's more appropriate to rinse them off into a pond or grass or something. :-|

    I think after James takes a sample like in the example that were he was over the leaves in clear water; take a sample and then disturbed the leaves and take a second sample from the same spot.
    If I just stuck stuck a net in the water in the macro world I would get much. Which is why we use kick nets to kick up what be up under rocks or attached to vegetation. I would guess that your diversity of even micro buddies would follow along the same lines. It would be interesting non the less.

    That are some nice spots but I guess the community can come up with even more amazing places to find those little fellers.
    Lets share some ideas for interesting "Pokemon" hiding spots. I would be interested in:
    - Snow which is frozen rain water. What might be hiding in clouds? Probably not much.
    - Organisms in hot springs (this would mean your microscope setup should also be heated to the right temperature)
    - Organisms living in the gut of other organisms (cow, human, chicken, goat so many possibilities)
    - What is hiding in our drainage systems I would love to know.
    - Whats growing on my skin if I dont shower for a week?

    Is it possible for you to make a video on electron microscopes? I find them so fascinating. It is interesting how they use electrons as a "light" source because of the possibility of creating much shorter wavelengths than light could ever have and also how instead of lenses they use magnetic fields to bend the electrons exactly how a normal lens would bend light. So complicated, yet so simple. It would be really awesome if you could get to use a real electron microscope at some university.

    What is the song you use in the beginning? That bass knocks super hard and I love it.

    Can you please try and get a sample from a sewage pipe. Can you please do a special on phages? They should replace our antibiotics system.

      Phages are a bit more "expensive": they require electron microscopes to see, and finding them often takes sequencing, which despite the lower cost now is still pretty unimpressive when seen. Perhaps the only fun macroscopic thing you can do with phages is dropping what you know are phages into a dish of bacteria, and watch the layer die.

      @@a2e5 Yeah. I didn't expect to see them on video. But just a topic on them because they're very... I don't know the right word. Exciting but also somewhat unsettling or mind breaking when you know what they look like. As you get smaller and smaller, things seem almost manufactured or artifical as a whole. At least with them and the way DNA operates. It just gives a little boost to the possibility that this entire universe could be a simulation. I'm actually leaning towards something else. But this isn't the time or place to type out pages of theories. xD I already got carried away here enough.

    What if we're all just microscopic beings living in a multi-cellular organism called "Earth."
    Also what the heck is that at 6:25

    We share the same shores!
    And physically that is enough for your insights to grasp the mere five inches into me - to open my mind to open the mysteries of my mind and imagination making me want to unfold myself to the wonders you present me to!
    Thank you for sharing this most intimate of spaces - it curves my mind into this wondrous world of intimate beauty always making me wish for more of this voice telling me how to appreciate this joy of microscopic gems - of presence! Falling into these gems of insights truly is falling into - love!
    Thank you - I appreciate these gems of life, they make my heart happy in a way I haven't known until now!

      And of course - thank you all Patreons! I am so grateful - even considering, despite the fact that I wouldn't normally do so.
      I am considering, very keenly, two options; this and Just - well, just Latasha.
      With both, I have had deep insight into life.
      I love you both, prides aside.
      I'll ask my advisers - and they will tell me; "No!"
      But both of you confuse me profoundly - and I love you so much for confusing me!
      ❤️
