Seeing this made me feel things and I wanted to share it with you. Thank you to everyone who supports at www.patreon.com/smartereveryday . You make it possible for me to publish content I genuinely love instead of trying to please the algorithm. Thank you!
watching your videos makes me feel things too :)
Thanks for showing this! I'm from India and this blown my mind. Love you man!
*Sending everyone virtual hugs to go through this pandemic!*
I’m struggling to hit 300 subs so any help is appreciated!
hi
That's a lot better pic than we got holding the eggs up to a light bulb to check if it was fertilized.
Day one chicken is 100000x more complicated and marvelous than anything I will ever make
Its incredible isn’t it?
@@smartereveryday it is
@@smartereveryday Thanks for sharing, It was cool!
@@smartereveryday OMG YOU’RE HERE
If you have few billion bits to play with, I'm sure you'd make something just as m̶e̶s̶s̶y̶ tasty.
Seeing my kids’ tiny heartbeat on an ultrasound was something that almost caused me to pass out both times I experienced it. It wasn’t a gross feeling. I don’t know why I reacted that way. Just felt like I helped create something that now has the tiniest beating heart. Those moments felt overwhelmingly important in my life. Life is indeed amazing. Cheers!
As a farther to be, I can concur... My jaw dropped when I was watching the ultrasound.
My mind was absolutely blown. I cannot wait for June to roll around.
I remember feeling something powerful hit me when I heard my little unborn girls heart beating.
And people kill these beautiful things I can't wait to be a father when Im older, have a good day Godbless
@Yoda annnnnnd there we go
@Yoda Yep, I think many don't really realize in fullness that it's a human life they are taking or allow to be taken
Sat down and watched this with my kids. It was precious watching their eyes get huge, and jaws drop to the floor. Thanks for the awesome video!
No they're my kids, stfu. Liar.
Thanks Destin for showcasing something so special for us.
ok
It is awesome to see how life is special since its inception! Destin showed it fantastically. Hopefully it'll make people think about the little lives within a womb.
@Noah ok Christian chill
@@02o. jealous,
IDK what's more amazing, the fact that you can see the development of life in real time, or that they have to move around either the embryos or the labels every day in order for that exhibit to work lol
I thought the exact same thing 😂
what's even more amazing is the sheer amount of verifieds he can bring in! in all legitimacy though the different phases they have to keep swapping out is amazing
I’m sure they take each one and move it over a spot each day and then put a new day 1 example in there.
I wonder if they let them grow. They could just have a bunch of chickens somewhere in there, and be like "These are the retired embryos" lol
@@supersolomob422 They probably just throw them in bio garbage.
The heart is the first organ to form. Because it is the best organ. I will not be taking any questions.
I hearted your comment
Nice to see you here colleague, I'm a big fan of yours!
@@smartereveryday quite right! ❤️🫀Loved seeing a bit of embryology on here, I found it really hard at medical school but now it's one of my favourite fields. Would highly recommend Alice Roberts's 'The Incredible Unlikeliness of Being' as a great intro for anyone.
Well, here's a question for you anyway, Dr. Crisis:
How do you respond to Bowser and Blue's observation that:
"Some may think the cardiologist is their best friend...
But the colorectal surgeon knows....
He'll get you in _the end."_
@@smartereveryday alright dad, settle down! 😂
this actually made me cry out of joy
i am diagnosed with heavy depression and often think about some bad stuff, to say the least, but videos like this actually make me appreciate being a part of this thing we call 'life'
thanks destin
Life is an amazing thing to be gifted and the odds of receiving it are against you astronomically, take the time to seek out those amazing things that this beautiful world has to offer. Life can become overwhelming because we read too much into it and take unimportant things too seriously it can be difficult but if you really try there are the most amazing and beautiful things in this world and in this life you just have to know where to look. Strangers can even provide an outlet or a new encouraging perspective if you let them.
@Eagle Beast of Prey mhhm delicious chicken. what can i say, it's the circle of life
@@dustinrobbins4172 It's inevitable. Every new life would be "you" as the collection of atoms and configurations that makes you you(post hoc) isn't assembled yet. A blank slate. I also wouldn't call it a gift, it's just something your parents ended up doing. A gift for them maybe, assuming that you were wanted in the first place. You can be fortunate not to live in inhumane conditions or be riddled with diseases and use your short period of time on this planet somewhat freely. But for a lot of people that isn't something they are ever offered. Gift or a forced choice, depending on who you ask. Life is unfair. There's some perspective.
But yes clear the distractions and find out what matters to you and chase it, life's too short for pointless things. Our brief moment in the sun, spend it well.
@@THeDoMeTBpractice delayed gratification, have a sense of purpose, accomplish things, and watch, ur depression will be so much better
Watching and hearing my daughter’s heart pump on the first ultrasound was the single most life changing moment of my life. That exhibit is very spectacular.
I'd love to see a time-lapse of this under a microscope. Just watching the vessels and everything forming would be incredible.
This is a thing! Search Day by Day chicken on CZcams!
@@kinkfitsunday ty
agree
There's a time-lapse of a salamander that was posted a year or two back.
@@kinkfitsunday I was thinking of searching OP's comment, really. I have seen some videos but not timelapses.
Never thought a chicken embryo could bring a tear to my eye. But seeing that teeny little heart just doing like the wind reminded me of heading my daughters heartbeat for the first time. Just so beautiful.
“Right to medical privacy”
Also the same people:
“You should have a vaccination passport to live in society”
@@micahhumdinger7473 It is just a clump of cells. It's simultaneously amazing and incredibly boring. It comes off as a super complex system but its just basic cellular multiplication following a genetic blueprint.
Until a baby is born it's a parasite to it's mother. She should always have the final say in whether or not to end the pregnancy.
After it's born odds are it's a parasite to the planet.
@@Psychobob I'm sorry you feel that way, I hope one day you will realize that unborn babies are unique people who deserve the same right to life as you and me.
And if you think that's a stupid argument look up Equal Rights Institute, they make it the best.
@@chicken_punk_pie There is no argument that an unborn baby should have priority over the mother unless she allows it.
@@Psychobob "parasite" I'll pray for you. What a terrible thought.
What gets me is how much work must go into keeping this exhibit running and timed correctly.
Yeah same, do they have to move it up everytjme one gets older?
@@Masterinferno47 Think so. After the 5th day they get poured down the toilet
@@im1random263WHAT
Can we just appreciate how destin went about his day and saw something he thought would be some random knowledge worth sharing
Can we just appreciate how unoriginal and overused your comment is?
@@Kreptic gottem
The reason I support you on Patreon is because you crawl into the launch tube of a nuclear submarine. And also because you share the feels you get over chicken eggs.
Thank you very much. I’m grateful.
@@smartereveryday Not much to say other than: you have a beautiful soul that - despite the weathering of a life so far lived - remains sensitive to the apparent whimsical vagaries of the natural world, and seeks the underlying patterns. Thank you for exposing the vulnerability of that beauty, and more importantly for showing the next generation of people what is out there. Thank you so much.
@@tapeshaft I wish I could share the beauty in not only this channel but your ability to contextualize and put into words The feelings that a channel with the depth of human spirit that this channel has with the world.
Cardiac cells are super interesting. You can basically set some in a petri dish, stimulate them with the right chemicals and they'll beat. Imagine trying to open and close your hand 100,000 times a day without stopping. Your heart basically does that since its existence.
Heart muscles are just built different.
It's also pretty inefficient though. I bet when post-humans of the future start designing their bodies, the first thing they'd do is make a circulatory system that doesn't rely on a single oh-so-fragile pump.
We should be nicer to our hearts then
@@GeassX pretty much literally
@@AngryKittens In what way(s) is it inefficient?
I'm not doubting you, I'm just curious.
The entire video I'm thinking, "he's going to put Psalms 139 at the end isn't he?" I forgot the verses. Then boom, there it was! Great video, dude!
I was looking for what he'd put at the end, I knew it'd be something exactly like that, it was perfect!
It's amazing the way it extends all of those veins to absorb the yolk and the heart pumps all of that.
This is actually the first recorded developmental biology experiment ever done -- By Aristotle! He realised that if he kept the eggs warm and he broke them in the right way he could watch the embryos develop. People tend to focus on what he got wrong, but this was something really cool that he did.
Key word is recorded. There were many sources of research worldwide throughout human history. Many things do not surviving to modern day. That’s why it’s important to be weary when crediting people for things as often times it goes miscredited.
This world is a better place because of Destin and what he does.
Agreed!
And here I thought you were going to say because of chickens
True story.
Liked all and agree.
Amen!
We need a full gestational time lapse video of one of these chicken eggs.
Destin...Sir...every time I've had the privilege of watching one of your pieces of art, I am completely humbled by your ability to reach out, put your arm around my shoulders and make me SEE something remarkable. It is a special gift, and a true reflection of your intelligence, that you are able to explain things to people without the "I'm way smarter than you but try to keep up" attitude of so many Big Brains.
I am indeed fortunate to have access to that wonder-filled little person in you, and grateful for the opportunity to "play at your house" every now and then.
Cheers...
You started out with chickens and you haven't really left it, you are still making videos of chickens. Amazing. Hope you make videos for as long as you live.
Don't forget the fish part.
That's an epic observation!
So I guess that means the chicken came first.
colab: destin finds chicken hole base
Dude, that is truly amazing. Beautiful
100% agree!
It wewd be amazing too if it was carved in a piece of wewd.
Do it bobby
We need a collab.
yay bobby is also here!!!
Actually blows my mind. I could stare at that little chicken for hours, so incredible to see life developing like that. All the branching vessels supplying food is just so beautiful.
I can’t get over how complicated and amazing life is. There’s more complexity in a 5 day old chicken than anything humans have ever created. Even the grass we walk on is insanely complex at a cellular level. In conclusion: nature is awesome.
GOD is awesome! He created all things. And he loves it when we discover how amazing he has made nature...for our enjoyment.
That place is SO GREAT!
I Love your videos!
I know! I've been so many times, but it never gets old how cool their exhibits are!
wooo the physics girl is here as well!!!
@@zaulpander everybody who's anybody is here. This is where the cool kids hang out.
This place is so not open since covid
I used to go to the Exploratorium as a kid, some 20 years ago at this point, and this was always the most incredible exhibit. I’m glad to see that it’s still being maintained.
This video gave me goosebumps for some reason. Literally.
And, I have watched every single one of your videos before. But this one... this one's different. And amazing!
Thanks, Destin!
I'm pregnant and deeply moved... literally as well, my insides are moving thanks to my daughter growing. Life is amazing.
Congratulations! Best of luck!
Ah congrats! Hope all goes well!
@@franciscos.2301 Thank you!
@@jamescanjuggle Thank you!
Hi how is your daughter
I used to work at The Exploratorium. I was the guy who received the fertilized eggs once a week (among many other jobs). I'm happy to see the place again!
Cool! How does the removal of the shell work?
Very cool! If you only received the eggs once a week, then how did you get that day-by-day difference between the eggs on display?
@@eyesofthecervino3366 They can wait a week or more after fertilization before incubating. Development doesn't start until then.
That's got to be the weirdest job to explain.
I need an ama. I have so many questions. Can you answer any of them?
How did you only receive fertilized eggs once a week if they need day one eggs daily?
What does the museum do with all the leftover eggs? Toss them, continue to develop them, feed them to another exhibit?
Who is deshelling the eggs?
Does the day 1 egg become the day 2 egg and day 2 become the day 3, etc, or does each egg have a limited shelf life once its shell-less? They need a certain level of incubation and humidity, right? And I'm guessing "in a plastic dome" is probably not it...
How many complaints does the exhibit receive every year?
How much does it cost to have a constant supply of eggs and a professional desheller and an exhibit that needs daily maintenance?
I think it’s particularly worth sharing the verse he put at the end of this video because it’s both beautifully written and appropriate for the subject matter:
For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
I visited the Exploratorium some 25 years ago and was absolutely amazed at what I saw back then. This exhibit wasn't there at that time, but this would certainly be a highlight of any visit. Such an amazing insightful thing to witness. THANK YOU for sharing!
I like how literally every other science channel came into this video just to comment how amazing this is XD
Ehhhh. Maybe some think it's cool. Others are probably just using it as an advertising platform. Comment on a video with hundreds of thousands of views, get your comment liked, your comment stays near the top and you just end up with free advertising for your channel using someone else's work.
@@Andrew-pu8gl
Cynical much?
How many times did you utter "literally" today? You don't know what the word means nor how to use it correctly.. You and half the people on social media. I bet you say "like" at least 20 times per day. I hate subliterate fools.

Clearly, the miracle of life will never cease to amaze us.
What do you think the implications are for abortion?
And yet we destroy it without a second thought.
@@Sinebeast no we don’t lol
@@jonoc5 no use talking to pro lifers. Let them have their idea of what abortion is and what life is. Not engaging is best with people who want to control the lives and actions of OTHER people.
@@ishaan863 Yep, that's how a society on truth and evidence is founded. By not engaging with people who challenge your belief system.
Not only is life amazing. But you are too. With the amount of comments. This may or may not be overlooked. But we want to thank you. From our preschools to our elderly. You sir, make a very big difference in the world. We all strive for knowledge even if we don't know we are. Thanks again, for everything
This was stunning! The miracle of life never ceases to amaze.
The following is a conversation that must have happened at some point:
"So what do you do at the museum?"
"I de-shell live chicken eggs"
"Oh, cool"
I was thinking the exact same thing! Then someone has to go in there each day and move them all down one place, presumably doing something with the last day 5-7. What happens to all the day 8 de-shelled eggs!!???? I need to know!!
@@SB-or5mj Free-range balut.
@@SB-or5mj Day 8... 🔥 🔥 🔥
You can dissolve an egg's shell with vinegar. It's a pretty common science experiment, but I'm not sure how it would affect a living embryo.
do they have to keep switching out the eggs though lol. every day or two it goes to the next stage lol
Love it. No algorithm. No click bait. No BS. Just incredible.
"Life is amazing. This is incredible." Great video with a simple and impactful meaning. Thank you!
This blows my mind and also made me feel things. Wonder is a super underrated feeling
These vids are so timeless I can't tell if they were made yesterday or five years ago
Well it's been closed for a year and a half...It's fascinating he can sit on such a cool video for so long. What prompted him to post it now?
These videos were made 13.8 billion years ago. xD
If Destin looks like a teenager than I know it was made a while ago. Lol. Or look at his kids and how big they are in the video. ;)
Only a Perfect Creator can create this magnifiscent view. Constant creation and perfect design. There must be Someone out there.
Thank you for sharing this, Destin! This same exhibit blew me away back in 1988 (at the prior Exploratorium location), when I was visiting from NJ as a teenager. It influenced my decision to move to San Francisco, the focus of my graduate studies, and becoming a public school science teacher! I now contribute (as well as continue to learn) as part of the Exploratorium Teacher Institute!
Thanks for posting this. My wife and I just had our 8 week ultrasound and I’m just in awe of the beauty and perfection of the miracle of life. Blows my mind.
Congratulations!
A new chapter in your life has begun. You will never, ever be the same.
There is a book series called What to Expect When You Are Expecting, What to Expect the Toddler Years, What to Expect From Birth to Age Five.
They have charts about how to map their weight, length/height. More importantly, how to track their inoculations/shots. Required for going to school, etc.
Again, congrats! ⚘
Omg congratulations! I’m 9 months pregnant with my 2nd and about to pop 😂 Babies are seriously the best. Tough, but so worth it.
@ᴡɪɴᴛᴇʀᴍᴜᴛᴇ _ we don’t need that kind of negativity here.
@ᴡɪɴᴛᴇʀᴍᴜᴛᴇ _ agreed, and the most disgusting thing about babies is that they grow up into adult humans, which are the most dangerous and vile creatures on the planet, who do all sorts of terrible things
Now realize that many people think you should be able to kill this just because you feel like it.
The thing that most blows my mind is how this embryo develops a portion of its circulatory system outside its body to draw nutrients from the yolk.
I was marveling at that too! At first I thought the veins were the wings developing, like they were spread open, but then once it showed where the wings developed from, I realized those veins were just big nutrient pipelines! 🤯
@Ff Tg no
@Ff Tg try it and tell us the results
@Ff Tg Go back to school and study Biology and Evolution.
@Ff Tg For that you'll have to study Physics and Chemistry.
My wife and I have done embryology with our kids and local elementary schools for over 16 years. Kids have done all kinds of posters showing the different stages of development and many have been really good. But when you showed the video of the heart beating and then being able to see the chambers of the heart, well that was just cool!! I showed my wife the video she got the greatest little smile on her face. Thanks for sharing the wonders of nature and science.
This blew my mind. Just amazing. Thanks for sharing this amazing video, Destin!
Thank you for sharing this with the CZcams community, Destin. We should all take more time to appreciate life in this way, and enjoy being in awe of the gifts we have been given.
Wow, that’s an incredible exhibit.
Just like you :)
No kidding. I am just thinking about how much work goes into it. Every single day they need to start a new egg and move the existing ones over. It is probably someone's full time job just to look after the chickens.
You mean eggsibit
You can say that again!
@@BoredInternetUser99 oh god 🤣
The exploratorium is such an impressive science museum! There amount of information they provide is astonishing.
Recently viewed your video showing us of the work you've performed as a DoD Civilian, as an Army Artilleryman myself, I would love to see a video detailing how we in the Artillery can accurately get a shell from gun to target at ranges of over 20 miles away, utilizing Meteorology, the curvature of the earth, and other temperature and humidity factors. I think it's a topic you would enjoy exploring and the viewers would love to see, as its Physics, Mathematics, and Meteorology in action working in unison to accomplish a mission. Thanks!
I live in San Francisco, and I’ve been to the Exploratorium many times. The chicken development exhibit is probably the most inconspicuous and amazing exhibit there.
I used to visit it all the time when it was at the Palace of Fine Arts, it was relatively easy to get to, parking was moderately available (at least by San Francisco standards) and most of all it was free parking, and if you went on the first Wednesday of the month admission was free. Then they moved it to the Embarcadaro, it became more of an attraction for tourists, parking is not fun (nor free), even the cost to get in is much greater and free days are a thing of the past. As a result I've been exactly one time in the 7 or so years since they've moved, and only to take my kid once. Very disappointing.
Poetic, is it not?
Random fun fact: Incubation doesn't actually have to start the day the egg is laid. The embryo can lay dormant for up to two weeks without being Incubated and still hatch, though the longer you wait the less viable it is. Many farmers (including me) save up their eggs for a week before beginning Incubation. But once you start keeping the egg warm, you can't stop.
I've always enjoyed watching my eggs develop but haven't been able to see what happens in detail or in the first week before. The only way I get to watch it is by shining a light through the shell in a dark room. (This process is called candling) but the shell is thick enough that you can't see anything inside until they've been incubating for a week.
That's pretty cool! It reminds me of how plant seeds germinate. Dried kernels of corn stay stable for years, but once they get wet, those little cornses need to be pampered if they are going to make it to the next phase. It's neat how the process of new life can be so similar across entire kingdoms.
Try laying the eggs in (diluted?) vinegar and see what happens to the shells.
I actually went to the Exploratorium in January of 2020, and even then I noted how it MUST be an absolute prime center for spreading disease. It was packed full of children touching EVERYTHING they could get their hands on lol. I hadn't been there in like 20 years, and it was just as I remembered it, how nostalgic!
Destin, I did want to give you a shout out. I just don't have the resources to help fund everyone on CZcams that I would like to, but I want you to know I thoroughly enjoy your videos and love what you're doing. This video is a fantastic example. Just the energy and excitement you bring to showing the growth of life in action is amazing. Keep on keeping on!
My wife is currently pregnant and we've really been enjoying watching our baby boy grow and seeing all of the changes (hearing the heartbeat and seeing him move we're particularly special). So, to me, this video was particularly interesting to watch :D
Honest question: Do you ever find it creepy that another lifeform is growing inside your wife? 🤔
@@mbogucki1 Absolutely! Especially the times he does a big squirm in there. Doesn't feel like a sharp kick. It just feels... alien. Looks crazy weird too when her tummy skin is getting all stretched and wiggly. She finds it weird too. She says when he's rolling around, it feels slimey. She also calls it her belly thunder, cuz she says it feels like thunder sounds when he's moving.
don't have kid because it costs like $100,000 from 0 to 18 years
@John Paul Beerer thanks so much! He was just born a couple weeks ago. It's been amazing. We're both dead tired though lol.
@@ayparillo It's a BOY!! (I know we all knew that beforehand, but I couldn't stop myself..)
This is beautiful. How is the museum maintaining this?
An educated guess will be that they add a new egg everyday and move the rest one position to the right daily
@@songangte29 i feel the same, also maintaining the temperature and other things, must be complicated
Bhaai!
@@GareebScientist, After it is fertilized and laid, you just need to keep the egg at the right temperature. It’s not that difficult to do. Naturally, it’s done by the hen covering it with her body to keep it warm, but you can use heat lamps. (I raised chickens on the farm I grew up on.)
@@songangte29 "opening up" an egg like this is not easy to do. From what i know its quite risky and the eggs have a high chance of failure. Which is i guess why it says 5-7 days because the eggs often don't last long enough to replace the next one.
Amazing how a chicken embryo is a complex life form only days after conception.
The anatomy scan while pregnant was easily one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. We got to go over every single bit of our baby: bones, organs, all 4 chambers of the heart, brain, etc etc etc. It was a long scan but it was so cool. I always call pregnancy the coolest experiment I've ever conducted.
> coolest experiment I've ever conducted
😃😃😃😃😃😃😃‼‼
Taking 2 miniscule things and turning it into a human.
As a professional exhibit engineer, I'm very glad you shared this. Truly amazing!
I remember meeting an exhibit engineer when I was around 20. I had no idea such a job existed and was *so* jealous of that guy. He took my friend and I back to the fabrication and repair rooms and was going from table to table showing us stuff... I don't know who was more excited, him or us.
I hope you enjoy your work as much as that guy clearly did! 👍👍👍
Chickens are amazing creatures. They each have unique personalities that only become apparent once you spend time raising them. I had always assumed they were just stupid creatures but I was so wrong. I have raised about 40 chickens now and they have all been unique and surprisingly intelligent animals.
*Sending everyone virtual hugs to go through this pandemic!*
I’m struggling to hit 300 subs so any help is appreciated!
And yet people keep them in cages, forcibly reproduce and live just so they can die; all justified by someone's tastebuds. It's horrible.
@@butterflygroundhog I agree. If people took the time to raise these animals and actually learn about them... I think many would change their opinions about them. I used to think they were mindless animals that worked off basic instinct alone and had no real personality. I was very wrong. They are intelligent, and depending on the animal, sometimes very quick learning. If you google “chicken intelligence” and read some articles... it can help convey what I’ve seen with my own eyes. Chickens are actually really awesome.
Kinda like a human, until the intellect of us kicks in then we abort it and say it's just a clump of useless cells? How really smart are we? Sadly humans are and can be pure evil when it comes to human embryos.
@@butterflygroundhog whats the differences between a crocodile that eats a buffalo brutally while its still alive, food is food nothing more nothing less
Going to put this in the top 10 things I've ever seen on the internet. Really.
Absolutely amazing. My little sister just found out she's expecting after trying very hard for a long time now. Sending this to her to excite her hopefully at the miracle coming to life within her! Thank you Destin.
The very idea that all lives start like this is mind-boggling!
When you stop and think about how vast the universe is and how rare we understand life to be, it is really incredible. Thanks Destin. Life really is special.
SmarterEveryDay has come full-circle. The first video I watched was the chicken steadycam, and now the beginning of chickens!
Got here from the mailing list. Much better than flipping through suggested spam of what CZcams thinks I will like. Thanks for sharing.
I probably would have just walked pass this table without realizing how cool this is.
Let's have a round of applause for this exhibit. Thank's Destin for showcasing something so special for us.
Wow! This literally shines new light on the question of when life begins. At least for a chicken, it appears to be in a mere 3 or 4 days after 'conception', if that's what its even called for a chicken.
what amaze me is that its crazy how life works how it all fits together. this is what billions or years of evolution has come to
our technology is nothing to what nature can do. nature always finds a way.
Crazy how some gooey fluids can organise it's chemicals in a way to create mechanical systems that can transport blood, create bones and complex structures like eyes, with no external energy or instructions.
How can chemicals read off the dna like an instruction manual and create such amazing structures.
Truly baffling. Thanks Destin
It IS amazing ! But no mystery 😁
Yeah
I was thinking the same thing. With mammals it almost seems simpler, because the fetus is effectively a parasite, taking resources as they come in. It isn't confined to a shell to grow, and doesn't have to deal with 100% of the waste. But with a chicken, the only external resource it gets is the hen's warmth. Otherwise, the chick has to basically develop everything on its own.
Also, it's crazy to me how the yolk is just 1 cell (if it isn't fertilized).
Evolution man, its all evolution. No wonder it took a billion years for life to even move on from single cellular to multicellular. Took a bunch of extinctions too. Those extinctions are what really drove those leaps, killing off everything else and leaving just a few organisms each with their own unique skill and from those branching into millions of varieties before wiping itself in the next extinction. Ever wonder why the Cambrian came after a glacial period?
@@loismays4620 it is a mystery. We have accurate models that represent the process. But that doesn't make it any less of a mystery. Life is mysterious, no matter how well we understand it.
I doubt I'm the only one but I think these shorter videos of cool museum exhibits would be a great series!
Thank you for sharing this. We watch this video every year in my classroom when we talk about egg-born animals. My students think this is awesome!
Life is beautiful when you look deeper.
When i saw the length of the video i thought "oh this is just a small side video, probably nothing special. Lets watch it anyways"
And even though i have seen a drawing of the development of a chicken egg a hundred times in school, this video still left me speechless and full of wonder.
Even I thought the same thing!
That’s how I felt making it.
It's a special feeling when something you already know about just clicks.
@@smartereveryday Well that's kinda what makes it amazing. It's the process of a chicken egg becoming a chicken. it's not special, it happens millions, or maybe hundreds of millions of times a day. But even in something as common as that, there's incredible complexity and almost a kind of beauty
We just hatched out 5 chicks and 5 ducklings. It’s amazing to watch them develop as we candle them each week to check their progress toward being actual walking peeping baby birds. Thank you for this peek beyond the shell!
It is cool to watch! It's almost like opening a present when you candle them.
We have 30 eggs in an incubator right now, it's been fascinating to watch their progression with candling. Even cooler seeing without the shell. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Loving the variety of the videos lately. Ones like this really cause my brain to slow down and reflect.
This is exactly why I decided to do my degree in Developmental and Cell Biology. So unbelievably awesome! I was lucky to do my dissertation in a Silkies Chicken lab working with embryos of around this age. Was just amazing.
I study developmental biology with zebrafish as a model organism and I tend to forget how mindblowing this is. Seeing your reaction reminded me of the first time I looked at developing embryos. I'm genuinely happy to see there's an exhibition on that because it truly is amazing !
Wow... This is an incredible exhibit !!
It's beautiful
And I don't know why, tears started rolling down my cheeks.
I am going to send this to my wife, who is a third-grade teacher, who raises checks every spring for her class. I hope she’ll be able to show this to each class that she teaches going forward
I could look at pictures of embryos for HOURS when I was a kid. That stuff is the most fascinating thing I've ever seen. Beautiful
Hehe... surely there's a web cam set up somewhere?
Thank you Destin for continuing to bring interesting and eye-opening videos. The song that was added to the end of this video by A Shell in the Pit still hits me as hard as the model helicopter video years ago. Stay awesome man!
Wow, that heart was mind-blowing!
I remember seeing that exhibit around 13 years ago. Glad they still have it after all this time
So, these embryos are actually 13 years old !
Incredible that the embryos still haven't grown up!
@@jacobcheney3877 i wish we could use this technology to remain young forever!
I'm not sure but the embryos are moved up the thing and a new one is put
@@ObesePuppies they die after time I'm sure.😕 But don't know for sure.
My wife and I are expecting our first baby. Its amazing to see a slightly different version of the miracle that's going on inside her right now.
Congratulations
Thanks be to God, and congratulations! I wish you all the best!
@@evanc.1591 Thanks be to *science. And congratulations Big Fig!
At the embryonic stage, the differences really are tiny.
Best of luck to you. ✌️
@@charlemagne111027 Science is the human study of the world around us, science is the attempt at explaining the phenomenon that we observe. Science is not the reason this happens, nor is it a good metric for explaining the "big why."
Best part of my day was seeing this. Thanks for expanding my knowledge.
Baby’s are marvelous and deserve to live !
Human population is closing in on 8 BILLION. What ever way you turn it, that is way, WAY too much. A right to live also means a right to die (when your time is up). But strangely, humans are too selfish to act upon that. 🤔⚖️
P.S. it's *babies* 🤐
In incredibleness divided by video length, this scores higher than anything I've seen in quite some time
Sometimes the best way to express something really important and beautiful can't be done with words. Thank you Destin.
Truly amazing to see how complex things can come together to make a whole organism function. Life is so beautiful and should be awed!
This is awesome. Shows how precious and complex life is. Don't take it for granted.
Show it to a feminist
@@alexmason8557 Uhm, do you eat animal products perhaps? Cause if you do, you don't value it very much
@@gralha_ If you’re in favor of abortion, you don’t value life at all. Animals being used as a source of food is an accepted part of society. Arguing that eating animals means you don’t value life is a foolish concept. We eat meat and animal products because our bodies don’t do well on a strictly plant-based diet.
@@jacobremillard banning abortion is giving rights to a fetus that no living human has, that right is being able to use someones body without consent.
@@moikkis65 banning abortion gives right to a human being that all human beings should have. The right to not be murdered because you are inconvenient.
You knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
So true!
wow that's incredible, thanks a lot to you for providing us such a beautiful and insightful video. It's just making me willing to spend more times for watching videos like this.
WOW I got like a foot closer to my screen when I saw that heartbeat! Love ya Destin!
I'm watching this and my wife asks , "What do you want for breakfast?" from the other room.
🤣🤣🤣
I was waiting for this remark...
Good thing the eggs you eat for breakfast aren't fertilized.
Ham, clearly.
I'll just stick with cereal
Nothing short of amazing! Just think, human embryos develop along the same track - just takes a little longer. This makes it VERY obvious that life begins at conception.
Just a cLuMp Of CeLlS
@@urgamecshk Very true and they form a life! 🙂
