- dr_dshiv 5y agoI love intracellular transport videos like this. I want to see them set to Philip Glass: https://youtu.be/5dVIAISw68U https://youtu.be/5dVIAISw68U https://youtu.be/6aMq6dZkMyQ https://youtu.be/6aMq6dZkMyQ

- monsieurbanana 5y agoI have no words. This is fascinating. This conveys how mind blowing complex our body is better than anything I've seen before.
- dr_dshiv 5y agoIt's a computer based on vibrations. Every molecule has a different intrinsic oscillation!
- LargoLasskhyfv 5y agoReminds me of the game Factorio, but in 3D instead of 2, and under water.
- baq 5y agoThis single video could replace a whole month of boring biology lessons in high school… amazing really

Hydrogen atoms are water, the electrochemical gradient is gravity and the enzyme is the turbine.
- failwhaleshark 5y agoI need me some proteins walking microtubules videos. Little damn machines almost make you want to believe in intelligent design, but natural selection and physics are just right to make it awesome.
- carapace 5y agoHeard of Michael Levin yet? :) ("What Bodies Think About: Bioelectric Computation Outside the Nervous System" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18736698 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18736698 ) The work coming out of his lab seems to me to indicate that intelligence is ambient in living tissue, with the corallary that living systems are designed by intelligence: their own.
- failwhaleshark 5y agoYeap. ;-)
