    I remember listening to one paleontologist talk about the Cambrian explosion as more of a confirmation bias because that's when shells and bones became much more common, things that are more likely to fossilize. And that complex life probably began much farther back in time but it was more soft bodied and didn't fossilize as easily as later life.

    • @oberonpanopticon
      @oberonpanopticon Před 29 dny +18

      I do wonder if prior to the ediacaran the conditions for fossilization just didn’t exist. But the thing is, we *do* have some pre-ediacaran fossils of macroscopic life, like Otavia and Cyclomedusa. It’d be weird if those small/fragile/soft bodied creatures fossilized but not the rest of the hypothetical complex life around them.

    Perhaps the increase in cosmic rays reaching the planet surface during this period of weak magnetosphere increased the chance for genetic mutations. With higher levels of mutations came a higher chance of beneficial mutations occurring, which then got naturally selected, leading to the explosion of diversity.

    I took a geology course a few years ago and the teacher presented the great oxygenation event like this: Organisms started producing oxygen in the oceans but since oxygen is so reactive there was no free oxygen for millions of years until most of the things in the oceans that _could_ oxidize did oxidize. Only then did free oxygen start to appear with some dissolved in the oceans as free O2 and then over time beginning to appear in the atmosphere. Again, the atmosphere didn't have free oxygen for millions of years because the reactive oxygen had to oxidize everything on land like minerals that freely oxidize before eventually a surplus of oxygen built up and the atmosphere for the first time began to have (at first a tiny) noticeable oxygen component.

      That sounds like what I've been learning on CZcams, and that is a really nice way of describing that. However, I think that sequence applies to the lead up to the Great Oxygenation Event (GOE) around 2 billion years ago. I think that's what oxidized iron to make banded iron formations mined for iron today. In contrast, I think this video is talking about a later increase in oxygen maybe 700 million years ago (?) called the Neoproterozoic Oxygenation Event (NOE). I think the oxidizable things may have been mostly oxygenated already long before the NOE? But, I'm no expert. There are some videos on the Geo Girl channel that may have more infor if you are curious.

      Plus: the simple life of the time, especially mono-cellular, reproduces much faster, i.e. the evolutionary iterations can take a much swifter pace, compared say to the modern vertebrate animals - thus, beneficial traits spread faster and a higher volume of failures can be afforded. Also, the genome and physiology of those simple organisms perhaps has a statistically better chance to survive a random mutation, compared to the much more complex genomes and bodies of again e.g. the vertebrates. This complexity maybe one particular reason why in our case, evolution rides preferably on top of sexual crossover, as opposed to random mutations.

      Well... The topic is focused around the Avalon Explosion, 575 million years ago. And complex life didn't exist on land at that stage. So we're talking about (VERY) primitive sea creatures.
      Water is very effective at stopping radiation. And thankfully I have ChatGPT to help me do the math.
      Earth background radiation is between 0.0006 and 0.008 mR/hr.
      Let's say our target is an amazing best case scenario of 0.0001 mR/hr
      Our worst case scenario, let's say... the surface of the moon. 200-1,000 millirads per hour (mR/hr)
      *We want to get from 1,000 mR/hr to 0.0001 mR/hr.*
      (Skip the math) Answer is 5.58 metres
      And remember, that is from _Surface Of The Moon_ levels of radiation down to _Below Earth Background Radiation_ levels.
      And also remember that drop in radiation isn't linear. The first 10cm of water is already stopping 25% of the radiation.

      Which is my long winded way of saying I don't agree with your assessment.

    Some channels are saying that our magnetosphere has been weakened and the most recent solar storm appeared stronger despite being a weaker storm than previous storms. Can you make a video about this? There's a lot of doomsday channels saying this stuff and sounding very scientific. Talking about sun mini novas specifically. Can you do a video about it please?

    A lowered geomagnetic field would lead to higher incident radiation at the Earth's surface. This would cause more mutations, some of which would be viable. More successful mutations would lead to more variety among lifeforms, thus the biodiversity explosion.

    as much as I do believe NHI's exist, the continuing evidence of various 'luck' that Earth has, makes it seem more and more likely Earth is a rare gem. eg moon shielding us, giving us stability and season, being in a void, an impact clearing the way for mammals... and so much more. To me it adds weight to the idea of at least some of what we see here being multi-dimensional or something locally based

      @kosh6612 Před 29 dny

      @@paulveenings6861 lol, no. I do have a theory about he ringing though... as a result of the Theta impact creating the Moon, you have an outer layer rapidly cooled and hardened (confirmed by India's gravity surveyor). If the outer shell quickly cooled while the rest slowly cooled it may result in contraction.. almost leaving the crust to act as a bell. We certainly know it is extremely hard and even major impacts have failed to penetrate the crest barring maybe one. (Anton would know for sure). That may be behind the resonance or ringing you refer to, but the moon is indeed real, and barring a few potential bases, not hollow.

    Others are pointing out increased mutation speeding up evolution but I think its important to consider something else entirely: Local Minima.
    Evolution, contrary to popular believe, does not necessarily reach an ideal system. Lets say a life form would have to do a drastic change in physiology to reach a more ideal form. The path there might be via a less than ideal lifeform that would be selected against, as its survival chances would be worse.
    This is where radiation comes in. It might enable jumping across local maxima to reach a better minimum, which just so happens to be more complex in nature.
    I thought about this sometime in the past, how radiation might be beneficial in that sense, by enabling a jump to a more beneficial minimum.

    10:57 i think maybe the ratio matters. The life was low and first developing, the friction is low. The weaker field might have been okay since the planets were a bit farther and so the difference was allowing room so the life was able to expand into differences but relative. We have a lot of friction which can slow us down and allow us to age slower but too much grinds away pieces and can’t be shared or makes the room on the planet smaller like not enough resources or too many differences. The balances are needed to be guided like global warming but we suck and fall into the differences ourselves. Maybe that’s why we don’t neglect or deny but understand and expand the sharing or complexity revealing more differences such as technology or knowledge or even the body of animals and humans.

  • @disgruntledwookie369

    What if consciousness exists no matter what and all this complex "life" we see, is really just an interpreted vision. Meaning, if there is no other life in the entire observable universe, it leads credence to the idea that all we perceive is merely a holographic projection of a greater unified process that exists beyond our selves.
    Hopefully that makes sense to someone. Probably not, but words fall short when it comes to sharing ideas deeply entangled in preconceptions and the semantic stumbling blocks that develop as a byproduct.
