- Dig into the science of how cotton transforms from seed to fiber, and how these cotton fibers are used to make everything from fabrics, to currency, and fishing nets.
--
Centuries ago, the Inca developed ingenuous suits of armor that could protect warriors from even the fiercest physical attacks. These hardy structures were made not from iron or steel, but rather something unexpectedly soft: cotton. Today cotton is used to make everything from fabric, to currency, diapers and fishing nets. Michael R. Stiff explores the science of what makes cotton so versatile.

Animator: How cute do you want the cotton to be?
Ted-Ed: *Yes.*
1:42 uhm
Original
the adissons what?
Squish me
CUTE COTTEN
Ted-ed: Why is cotton in everything?
Me: Cotton is in everything?
batoor?
Here before it trends
what is happening?
Always thought it was just polyester
Nice
Cotton fibers: strong, resilient, durable, and HELLA CUUUUTE
And yet it still doesn't have a girlfriend
Yet, incredibly sinister... Cotton is extremely greedy for water and is having negative effects on the Earth. A single Cotton jumper will have tonnes upon tonnes of water worth of Cotton. This is bad.
If yo girl is strong,durable,soft, and cute...
Sorry, that ain't yo girl, that's cotton, you got played
@@Gb-eo6yp just thought u should know I got this comment notification while having late drinks at a bar, and it made me laugh so hard I did a spit-take of club soda 🤣
Hemp fibers: stronger, resilienter, durablest and THE MOST SUSTAINABLE
The llamas dressed as scientists is so cool and funny at the same time...
lol
Adorable
That's why we keep them secret at the National Institute of Quality (Instituto Nacional de Calidad -INACAL) 🤫🦙⚗🔬
It's good they don't also have hats. That would be scary.
McHrozni
Right. Especially the green one who apparently eats humans hands
TedEd: Why cotton is in everything?
Plastic: huh?
Plastic is synthetic
@@duckymomo7935 does it matter?
SACHIN SUNDARESAN
Yes because the premises are different
Plastic is the most commonly used material (it is also synthetic)
Cotton is the most commonly used natural material
I love plastic haters. They always own tons of plastic items. Hypocrites
Austin Bartose Yes, but the problem happens when you dispose of those plastic items. A lot of it ends up in the ocean, especially from river mouths, and only a minority ends up being recycled or incinerated.
the art style is so smooth
Very Kurzgesagt isn't?
Agreed
Fran Abenza Yes. It very much reminds me of Kurzgesagt.
went to the comment section for this, so cute and good!
It's Kurzgesagt, but with a slightly higher budget and less colour saturation
TedEd's cutest thumbnail so far
Idk.. those baby cottons.. my heart melts down
" Honey can you please take my cellulose t-shirt from the closet"
Floki “i want a divorce-“
"Why do you need it?"
@@D8W2P4 “I NEED IT”
I somehow managed to misread the title as "Why is cotton terrifying?"
And I strongly agree.
It's terrifyingly cute.
Ronja Kowalski
How the f.ck did you misread that
@@MERG69 what
did you mean like you?
I have a phobia of the white freds in cotton, so yes... it's terrifying
Kowalski...analysis!
As someone with eczema, every fiber in my house is cotton, or cotton mixed with other natural fibers. All my clothes are cotton, my bed sheets, my towels, everything because it’s the only fiber that is gentle with my extremely sensitive skin.
Same here. The only exception I have is soft wool socks.
wool irritates my skin so much! but polyester is okay.
@@jessefisher1809 You might try Smartwool. Cotton socks don't work for me because they don't wick water. I do wear synthetic material socks at times.
I grew up in a cotton field and never thought to ask the questions you just answered. Well done.
In the words of the famous Sherlock Holmes: "Watson, you see, but you do not observe".
We all are guilty of this crime.
That fiber is my new gym motivation. So swole 💪
1:10 soooooooooo lovely, my heart is melting
No one told me cotton is so cute uwu
UwU
UwU so cuteeeee
1:59 ummmm
It IS!?!?!!!
OwO
“Ted-ed discussing about where cotton is made”
My brain: *Cotton Candy*
Ononono
I would not know how cute cotton fibers looked were it not for ted-ed
Who knew cotton could be so *adorable* T^T 💕
Oof I edited my comment and lost the heart from Ted-Ed ;-;
Cotton was a force of nature.
Joe
@@ilebillybobjoe ma
The two guys before me are legends
@@pizzatime4024 thx
This is a great explanation of the importance of cotton and contributes to the conversation around sustainable production and consumption. The synthetics we use do not totally biodegrade and sadly as they decompose they reach a point where micro plastics are left. We need to try and return to natural biodegradable fabrics and learn to re-purpose more efficiently.
for that we need to stop fast fashion!!
I love you Ted Ed! My school uses your videos to teach us! Keep up the good work 👍
What a wonderful thing to hear! Thanks Kerishma Madhavan! 😊
@@TEDEd Did singer Lady GaGa wear a dress she made once entirely out of American bank notes {currency} to an award ceremony? 🤔💭👩🎤🗯👗🕸💮
Philosophers: what is life
Other people: why is cotton in everything
funny
This is my favourite video from Ted-Ed for sure. I mean how cute is this animation ☺️☺️
The seed at 1:00 & 3:57 UwU
Pop
Small note to the beginning : What you refer to there is "gambesson" , which was used amongst Europa too and could equally stop most cuts and piercings blows.
Another great video, didn't know how much time is put in cotton farming. Art style was adorable❤️
So that's where the trouble began... 3:57
That smile...
That Damned Smile....
When you live in North Carolina and this stuff grows everywhere
It's videos like this that make me continue to love Ted-Ed. Those cotton buds were so adorable I wanted to cry 😭😂❤️ kudos to the animators and scriptwriter/s 😂☺️
Great comment 👍
*Fun Fact:*
Most Money is made out of 75% Cotton and 25% Linen
Depending on the country, Canada is at 100% plastics.
I always thought money was made by Paper.Why money use Cotton?.Please explain to me🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@Daiman01
To be more durable than glued together fiber (as in paper), even when paper was one of the early metal free methods, the materials were optimised once inks became water resistant.
@@Daiman01 Paper is extremely flimsy and using cotton inserts an extra security measure that prevents everyday people from printing bank notes.
Back in the Philippines, bills are usually made of abaca fibers
The art style is soo CUTE!
That cute little cotton seed opening eyes at 1:04 😍😍😍
The video is so smooth,relaxing and provides great knowledge that's why I love this channel
The cotton seed looks cute..Ted ed has the best animation
I'm just fascinated that humanity managed to preserved the knowledge even at the microscopic scales
Can I just take a minute to thank Ted Ed! You made learning fun again!
Great comment 👍
*Nice animation with such effort and legendary narration*
1:06 That is the cutest thing in the world!! 🥺🥺
W a t e r b a l l o n s
The animation really helped reinforce the concepts in this video!
The very creative animation helped understanding the topic. Thanks!
great again ted-ed keep up the fab work!!
Coton Cells: *Flexing* “Yeah I’ve been hitting the gym recently”

Why
WHY IS HE SO CUTE
Love your Videos.
There is Good Explanation of topics. And It covers almost all of the topics.
Thank you guys for the interesting education, it's always so interesting to watch.😊
Fun fact: cotton is "puuvilla" in finnish, literally meaning "wood wool"
Best animation of Ted Ed yet! Love it!
Bro...., How that guy melts in awe at 0:22 is everything for me.
Loved the animation and explanation 💜 thank ya🤗
Guide: that aztec has a inpenetrable armor.
Conquistador (loading musket): I got that covered.
This is by far the cutest 😍 video you've done, it makes want to go open my closet find a cotton tshirt and hug it 😚❤
Love these animations. And the videos are educational as well which is also enjoyed
Man, I love this type of animation.
Great video also for this content
The animation
*AMAZING*
Videotitle: Why is cotton in everything?
Comment-Section: Why is Ted-Ed everywhere?
Love your attention to the community
This animation is honestly adorably awesome
Thank you for the informative video. Very interesting material.
Could you make a video on alternative natural fibers like linen, hemp, wool, etc?:)
Cotton is amazing I didn’t think there’d be so much history behind it
I live in the cottenist producing county in Arizona and I found this article very informative and interesting. Thank you.
Pinal?
The animation is amazing! Especially the cotton! So cute!!
When a sponge is the most indestructable thing you own
BREAKING NEWS: We have invented a new Anti- Nuke armor! Made of...
Cotton!
Dollars bills made up by 75% cotton fibres?
n L try why do you think you can dry them out? Try and burn a ripped piece off a bill and burn paper next to it
I don’t think cotton can survive since element U could be too powerful than us and the cotton it self
And another thing,it’s flammable and can catch fire
Thanks for the video.
thank you ted ed I learnt many more lessons in your channel
“Why yes, I love cotton! Isn’t that right JAMAL!” -👴🏻
Yes, sir🙍🏿♂️
"Sorry Bob, I have an uno-reverse card!" 👨🏿
Me: Oh, look! The seed grew old. CUTE!!!!!
Seed and cotton as cloud thing: I look gooood…
The animation in this episode is so good!
love the animation in this! 💙💙
I was more concentrated on the cute animation than the information
even the smallest things make the greatest impacts in our daily lives
i love ted-ed because it's like a weird science-y asmr with the soothing voices and smooth animation
Another beautiful video.
"The touch, the feel of cotton. The fabric of our lives."
What do you know, i am at my bed, laying on a cotton pillow, i was about to sleep, its 12:10 😂
Which country are you in right now?
@Il Fantino no. It has to be a country in GMT +8. Since he is in bed, he must mean 0010 hours really.
@@primejjg4857 i think he is in south korea or taiwan.
@@siddarthachoudhury618 nice guess, near Taiwan
Philippines?
Excellent video.
Quite mesmerising!!
Fact: Pima cotton from the US has long fibers, making it both softer and more durable than regular cotton
Fact: cotton is stronger when wet.
Shame then the famous ship the Titanic couldn't be built out of Cotton. 🤔🚢🎭->💮
why pls
@@Friendship1nmillion Galaxy brain moment here folks.
That got me thinking, does that mean we could artificially hydrate cotton in certain ways to make it stronger?
It can bend prison bars
the cuteness adds to the base satisfaction i love it
The animations are so nice in this one
I wonder if Ted Ed will ever do a video on incense
It's important to many cultures across the world and if things like cheese and tea have such interesting history, I'm sure incense does too.
"why is cotton everything?"
-I see, this floor is made of CottON
Am I supposed to feel this way for cotton? Such loving affection?
The info is great but, hats off to the animation artists. 👏🏻
"Why is corn in everything?" would be a good video, I think.
Ok... Now I understand what others meant when you’re early... I don’t see good stuff...
Army ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ💜💜
the animation is just so...so...PERFECT O-O
Thanks Eli, very cool!
Where did you come from?
Where did you go?
Where did you come from,
_Cotton Eye Joe_
Okay but you're literally commenting in every video I watch-
What is the cotton plant's profit from making these long cells? What role do they play for the plant itself?
I was hoping to find out too
Really this is a great way to learn .
2:13 the image on the right might be the greatest thing I've ever seen, seriously
Ted Ed: cotton is everywhere
Polymer: Wha?
Has anyone ever just thought how weird it is that cotton is a plant and doesn’t come from any animal. Nature is really surprising sometimes.
Why do intro and closing sfx are so amazing and comforting?
Such amazing animation
I never knew that cotton is in EVERYTHING...
Can I have a pet cotton puff, it looks so cute
Beautiful gift of nature.
Great video - Thank You! Very interesting - I never knew all of this abt cotton.
