Hidden in the microverse all around you, there is a merciless war being fought by the true rulers of this planet, microorganisms. Amoebae, protists, bacteria, archaea and fungi compete for resources and space. And then there are the strange horrors that are viruses, hunting everyone else. Not even being alive, they are the tiniest, most abundant and deadliest beings on earth, killing trillions every day. Not interested in resources, only in living things to take over. Or so we thought.
It turns out that there are giant viruses that blur the line between life and death - and other viruses hunting them.

5:21 I like the fact that the girus has an IF conditional in Javascript enabled to confuse the duck in both cases if it's alive or dead.
It looked like c# for me
all C styled langyage looks like this
@@thearmyofiron lol true
@@0yousif0 I know it's JavaScript because I've actually used it.
@@prashanthbaliga78 Yeah, but all C-based languages use that. It's an incredibly basic syntax for an if-statement, to the point that even Excel uses it. The fact that you assumed that it's JavaScript automatically says that you barely even code and use other languages. Keep coding, kiddo.
So if these “Girus” things target amoebas, but seem to ignore human cells. Could they be used to treat “brain-eating amoeba” cases?
That's what I was thinking
probably, but the problem is the brain-eating amoeba kills you very fast after it's detected, so even if you unleash the GIRUS, it's going to be difficult for them to take all the amoeba out in time.
@@eVill420 what if tons are released into your bloodstream so that when inflammation occurs the giruses flood out too? or maybe incorporating them as a part of the immune system by having the mucus glands also make the giruses safely and incorporate them into the mucus lining the nose
@@Jermain-cz4bh maybe it's possible, but I don't think the Giruses would infect them fast enough, it probably take a few hours for the virus to incubate in the amoeba, giving them enough time to multiply and still kill you. if you somehow injected them in the early stages though, that would work
Just watched that video. I like the way you think!

@@silverstar1614 dude same it's utterly ridiculous there are so many they must literally be EVERYWHERE on our planet
Just because we can spread them in a 3D space we can accommodate them in such a small space, relatively speaking. If we find a way to store things in the 4th dimension, I'll have a place to put my stuff that I never use :D
I studied a marine virus in grad school and almost every source I cited at some point included the phrase "viruses are the most abundant biological entities in the world and world's oceans." I always loved the term "biological entity" for something that is very close to alive, but isn't quite.

Also: kind of fascinating that with large organisms you'll usually see the bigger hunting the smaller. But on the microscopic level, it often happens the other way around; with smaller things hunting larger things.
I mean it does also happen on the large scale, our most prolific killers are microorganisms like bacteria and viruses. It's more like to gain energy you need to eat something smaller and to reproduce you need to infect something larger.

I thought the same thing, but I think there might already be a few like that
actually there is scp-439, the bone hive. But that is based on a earwig that enters your body and produces abnormal bone growth so you become a immobile living hive for them. They eat some of your organs but keep the rest alive and functioning so you provide heat, protection from outside and, sometimes, they use your digestive track to pre-process their food and make it into a nutrient rich slurry....

That mouse analogy is the most terrifying thing i've seen in a while.
And it was just a fictional scenario. You'd be surprised how many parasites are out there ready to lay their eggs inside you and then their larva feed of your body.
Maybe they wanted to avoid copyright repercussions had they referred to face-huggers or that one creepy beetle-like parasite in Stargate SG-1 that burst out of a guy's stomach after he got some coffee.

Reminds me of what my Professor said when he saw that we were utterly confused about something that fails clear classification. "Why is it so confusing you ask? Because Mother Nature doesn't care how humans classify things."
Or to quote NDT; “the universe is under no obligation to make sense to you”
9:19
This is a perfect representation of what I am talking about, just like our misclassification of light as being a particle/wave so too, have we labeled a natural cellular process's secretion a seperate entity attacking the cells.
How do things without a brain move in reaction to something without it being a chemical reaction
Because classifying things is stupid at its core. I mean, it's very useful, but when you look at it every living thing is just a marginal variation from another one. All the marginal variations make complexity. So it appears that a flower is something completely different from a giraffe (and it is), so you can classify them. But considering time and numbers, it's all about marginal variations. We think at life like it's a mathematical discrete group, but it's more like a mathematical continuous group
Absolutely love all the references and the memes in these videos
Had no idea what giruses were let alone what massive influence they might have had on the evolution of life on this planet until I watched this video, thanks for teaching so much I didn't know until now Kurzgesagt!

Always entertaining.

I've always been amazed by the comparison between the two extremes in size - on the one hand we have space which is so massive and unexplored and incomprehensibly expansive, and on the other hand there is a whole other micro-world which is so small but yet equally unexplored and incomprehensibly expansive. And then there's our normal world just floating in between
AND there's so much we don't know about our normal world too. I mean this for both individual people and for humans as a collective.
And how much of the ocean's depths are unexplored
one of my favorite comparisons is that there are more numbers between 1 and 0 then there are positive integers. This is the concept of larger infinities.
