    As a couple of nerds whos relationship is circling the drain faster than last nights dinner at an office building after coffee goes on vacation to the beach house, they find things aren't quite right. The entire place is seemingly abandoned and there's a strange bioluminescence at night on land. Which is not good. As behaviors begin to be altered and people begin to change, it becomes rapidly apparen that whatever this is, is infectious. But what is it and what does it do to the human body? Lets find out in todays episode!

    The big pink dumpling things on the beach look more like mutated Portuguese Man O' Wars. Which, fun fact, while they look the part-- are not actually jellyfish. They are siphonophores. Siphonophores are colonial organisms. While they may look like one creature, are actually an aggregate of multicellular individuals who have hyper-specialized into a specific role to play in the overall siphonophore colony.

    Alternately, the ending of the movie is her hallucinating as she's drowning in a puddle in the woods thanks to parasite-induced sleepytime. Or she's not drowning and that's just her brain interpreting how the parasite works before the lights go out and it assumes direct control.

    I'm thinking the the memory issue glossed over in the beginning of the explanations may play a deeper role in explaining the effects of this infection. Along with some heavy lethargy, it seems as though the characters are experiencing periodic blackouts in which events are happening around them, but they are either out like a light or unable to remember. This seems most obvious with Emily and Randall. Randall is a drowsy boy throughout the film, yet Emily starts to succumb to the same drowsiness as the infection starts to spread. I forget where I was going with this.

    Fun fact: the found that clay may have played a roll in the formation of the 1st genetic material (dumbed down explanation is that the theory shows evidence that the clay acted as somewhat of a catalyst for the reactions by acting as a substrate for the molecules to be held on, which allowed other molecules to react to it…. Think of those large, flat Lego plates you built little houses on)
    Also, the study gave some more evidence for the theory that RNA formed before DNA, (because RNA can form 3D structures, which act like enzymes… aka ribozyme activity)

      Would make sense as Adam was formed from the Earth, or more specifically clay. As the name Adam itself means "red", referring to his appearance.
      And the reason human beings are colored very dark brown to very pale is because we resemble the different colors of Earth. This is where you get into the context of carbon, melanin, and etc

The various toxins produced by phytoplankton are terrifying. Hepatotoxins, neurotoxins, etc. There was one man who ate reef fish contaminated by toxins from algae that live on the reef that caused such severe brain damage that the man could no longer walk/take care of himself. I think it took him like 7 years to be able to walk or even shave himself.

      @dr.altoclef9255 ปีที่แล้ว

      I had to look these things up. They're pretty nuts.
      The descendants of those parasite jellyfish have gone so far off the 'jellyfish' body plan that we thought they were protozoa until very recently. They gave up a ton of genes on their way from 'free floating jellyfish' to parasites who are evidently the smallest animals ever known to man.
      They've lost genes that allow for the development and coordination of multicellular bodies, they've lost genes that allow for cell-to-cell communication, and there's one species that doesn't seem to have mitochondrial DNA. It can't produce energy the way pretty much all other animal cells produce energy. What it does instead, no one knows.

    To be honest, as a non religious person, I never got the argument about science disproving religion. I got bot evolution and genetics explained by a Roman Catholic priest when I was in school (went to a Roman Catholic school) and there was no conflict there, exactly for what you explained here.

    • @Ett.Gammalt.Bergtroll
      @Ett.Gammalt.Bergtroll ปีที่แล้ว +17

      It can disprove specific aspects/claims of religion (such a worldwide flood never happening, no Jewish slaves in Egypt etc) which certainly shoots holes in it. Especially if you adhere to a literal as opposed allegorical interpretation of your religion.

      Depends on the sect and religion, some folks will change their views if provided good enough evidence but others won't.
