    1. The temperature of space is 3 kelvin. At best the tardigrades survived -270C.
    2. Summer temps on Mars can reach 20C.
    3. Tardigrades are the toughest *Eukaryote* organism. The toughest organism currently known is either Deinococcus Radiodurans (a bacterium) or Thermococcus Gammatolerans (an archeon).

      4. Earth's core is not entirely liquid. Only the outer part.
      5. Even at 0K, atoms would not stand completely still. Just as 0K is impossible, complete lack of motion is too, due to quantum effects.

      It's meaningless to argue about what would happen in a physically impossible situation. The technically correct way to say it is that as temperature approaches 0K, atoms approach stillness. But what he says in the video is an acceptable simplification since this is a video about Mars and not about low temperature physics

      Perhaps a glancing blow of the type that created the Vallis Marinaris could have done this, tho iirc that feauture is only like 150myo or something and I'm pretty sure it's spin is unaffected as the Martian day is only an hour longer than ours and it's axial tilt isn't irregular like Uranus.

      @0 0 like another poster mentioned, our moon creates tidal forces that don't just effect the oceans. The push and pull also works onto our core as we spin which assists with keeping it molten.
      Mars only has two captured asteroids. Nothing like our moon.

    • @le_zoink
      @le_zoink Před 3 lety

      well, we don't know if that's true. Honestly, it might just be because smaller spheres have a higher surface area/volume ratio, and therefore can radiate heat at a much faster rate.

    • @abseph1825
      @abseph1825 Před 2 lety

      it could be multiple impacts that affected mars that cause it to cool rather than 1 giant one as there isnt any giant crater left on mars today. mars is close to the asteroid belt so it will be more frequently bombarded with asteroids than earth does

    I can remember pictures of Mars from my childhood that actually showed canals and what looked like areas of vegetation. Sadly, it was all an optical illusion. I was in my early 20s when we found out that Mars is cratered and dry. The jury is still out on whether there is life or not, but I wouldn't be surprised if subsurface life shows up, either in the subsurface regolith or environments such as lava tubes.

    Hello!
    This series is incredibly interesting and well-made, although I'm slightly confused about the inclusion of the tardigrade as an extremophile.
    Tardigrades, although incredibly tough organisms, are not usually considered to be extremophiles, as they are only able to persist in harsh conditions, not develop and thrive. For example, a true extremophile would be able to not only survive, but grow and reproduce for a substantial number of generations in its respective environment (e.g. hypersaline/acidic lakes or even space itself).
    I hope this helped clear up a few things, even if it's just a small nitpick. This series is great and I sincerely hope your channel grows and thrives on the Web, just like extremophiles do here on Earth.

    14:20 Years ago I was at a show my friend's band was playing I was sitting in my car for a bit and heard a super loud bang and my rear window shattered and there was a rock sitting on my back seat. I still think that bang was far too loud for smashing a windshield. I don't have the rock anymore but I could've sworn it was a meteorite. I was talking to a friend at the moment and he didn't see anything, I didn't see anything. This shit just came out of nowhere. The seat wasn't damaged at all though, and a bunch of friends naysaying kind of had me doubting what I found, and plus it was a bit long. Kind of looked similar to this rock. Hmm.

    another issue facing life on mars is the lack of nutrient cycles. It doesn't sound exciting but it's super important.

      They maybe said size im the first take, then realized thats not the same as the diameter

      "Size" is a generalized term; i.e. it is not specific, as is "diameter." He was not incorrect to use either term. This is the BEST and most informed video on the topic of Martian life that I have found. Accolades to the author/narrator.

    Yeah we can say that Mr. Schiapparelli was a bit too enthusiastic about about what he saw on Mars. 😅 We Italians always are too passionate. 🤣🤣🤣

    One might should ask how water bears developed a very good defense against something they never encounter.

    It would be the coolest discovery ever if proved to be true.
