Growing knowledge: "Agave caves are one of the most difficult places to explore on Earth
It is more than 300 meters deep from the ground and is about 240 kilometers long. It is one of the most intricate labyrinth caves in the world.
Most of the crystals in the cave are hundreds of thousands of years old
You might think there would be no life in such a deep cave
Because the sun's energy can't shine in, but surprisingly the walls of the cave are full of life
Gorgeous microbes live in caves
Agave caves are isolated but there is one thing that is vital to life - water"
After watching: Water is really important to everything on earth! Unexpectedly, those ancient crystals in the cave are really dazzling!
Water is necessary for life on Earth
Growing knowledge: "Bacteria are single-celled organisms in medicine. Cells are the basic building blocks of life. They are vesicles or membranes filled with aqueous solutions.
These things that swim in the cells are the building blocks of life that are completely attached to water.”
After viewing: I have always wondered, why is water indispensable?
It turns out that the vital components in the cells that are the basic building blocks of our life are completely attached to water!
The earth's waters cover a very large area
The key to finding life is to find water
We can survive for a while without food but we can't last long without water
Growing Knowledge: "Food Provides Us Energy What Water Provides Us
Water can dissolve things as vital as rocks
Many different molecules can recombine in water and they interact to create new substances
The abundance of water on Earth has turned our planet into a giant chemistry laboratory"
After watching: Dripping water through stone is not only an idiom, but a natural phenomenon, it also has such a big effect! It is eye-opening that substances can be dissolved and transformed in water!
Increased knowledge: "Water comes with stardust to break it down and reassemble it, but stirring up a handful of stardust doesn't create bubbles of life.
If you want to achieve the birth of life, you have to increase the dose. To evolve stardust into life, light and water are far from enough to be combined.
The earth is receiving energy all the time, and the lightning of the majestic energy spreads hundreds of thousands of kilometers on the surface of the earth
Lightning looks like a nervous system spread across the globe
Different lightning bolts seem to communicate with each other
There are more than a hundred lightning strikes every second, and eight hundred lightning strikes a day.”
After watching: There were more than 800 lightning bolts. If there were humans at that time, everyone had to carry a lightning rod with them when they went out. If there were humans at that time, they would definitely not dare to swear to God!
Growing knowledge: "More similar lightning energy shows were staged at the beginning of the Earth billions of years ago
This is the "energy" necessary for the birth of life
The experiment to reveal the principle is that two scientists in Chicago simulated the original atmosphere of the earth
and experimented with simulating lightning
This experiment could create organic molecules that are fundamental building blocks of life."
After watching: I didn't expect lightning to be one of the original energy sources!
Growing knowledge: "Energy can give life to inanimate matter
Billions of years ago there were other sources of energy pouring down on Earth Meteor showers Raging eruptions of volcanic rocks Intertidal waves
The earth was a turbulent place full of energy"
After watching: Everything arranged by nature has its meaning!
After a long time, this inanimate system finally gave birth to life
Increased knowledge: deep in the still sea, cracks in the earth's crust are open where hot water and hot air gushes out. This is the deep-sea hydrothermal vent, where all kinds of chemical elements, energy and water all gather here.
Now there are some hot springs that produce organic molecules that are the building blocks of life
Therefore, many scientists believe that life first originated in such an environment that life originated from the bottom of the sea.”
After watching: It's incredible! Life is born in this hot spring! New knowledge!
Growing knowledge: "Every tissue in the human body contains carbon, whether it's skeletal muscle or nerve receptors Carbon is the ultimate building block of life
It combines with other elements in countless ways to make up the various molecules needed by living cells
Carbon's totipotency allows it to construct a magical molecule "DNA" that exists in almost every living cell
After Viewing: New Knowledge!
Our human DNA is one of the most complex molecules in the entire universe
Growing knowledge: "Billions of carbon atoms held together in these wonderful entangled structures are like a supercomputer of organisms that store the operating manual for life.
All information, all details make us unique
DNA cannot be formed without carbon"
After watching: Through this episode, I learned that carbon is so important, to the human body, every part that makes up us, it is deeply involved in one of the important components of life!
This is heavyweight new knowledge!
Growing knowledge: "Any form of existence needs a safe haven
Water is the container of all life, but if there is too much water, the elements of life will be too diluted, and the molecules that make up life will miss each other.
What needs a container to hold them together and wrap around the cell's surface is a cell membrane"
After watching: Water can not only quench thirst and provide water to various organs of the body, but also a container for the protective film of our life molecules to gather life molecules!
