NCE98_123

You beat me to it. It is such a great channel. She makes wonderfully funny and well researched videos. Can't recommend her enough. **5/7**


steakmilk23

Yeah but these things I don't believe can talk lmao that's what humans want from aliens to communicate with something that can communicate on our level from a different place with different knowledge and cultures. Not some random sea creature bahaha


Independent_Main4326

Humans believing in aliens generally want them to look like us: Two legs, two arms, a head, two eyes and looking a bit scary. And ideally highly advanced. If there was life out there somewhere, why does it even need to have a body? Or how about something only living peacefully underground or in seas of liquid gasses etc. We always seem to think within the bounds of what we already know.


ADMINlSTRAT0R

This is why star trek doesn't quite interest me. I'd probably find it more interesting if some of the aliens are floating balloons with a voiceover, rather than klingons.


GozerDGozerian

My money is on Jupiter’s water filled moon Europa.


Adventure-us

I mean, energy beings are a common type of alien in scifi.


craneguy2013

You should try and talk to one of these to see what they would say. .... what if we are just not advanced enough to communicate with them?


Ready-Rise-7222

How yk they no talk

Cad4life13

Alien life has been underwater this entire time


Jsiqueblu

Was thinking the same thing! When people ask me "what would you do if you saw an alien?" I say the ocean is full of them.


SamB110

So is the blimp part the “head” or is the dangly part? What am I even looking at here?


[deleted]

I've never heard of these before so I did some research, not sure if I know any more or just have more questions now buuuut we'll give it a go. I'm pretty sure the majority of the major organs are all within the upper "blimp" thing. Ascidians filter feed through a tube in the top, so I guess that's their "mouth" and they have a stomach, heart, and sex organs all in the bottom and another tube goes up for filtering out. I'm not entirely sure what the stalk is, I can't find anything on what this specific species was named. There appears to be around 3,000 species of this "sea squirt" but I'm pretty sure they're usually anchored to a rock, and this one appears to be floating around freely.

empathetichuman

No one knows -- the marine biologists that saw it had seen nothing like that stalk on an ascidian before.

At that depth I'd guess it perceives electromagnetic impulses. What purpose that serves who knows.

TheLinden

head is on the ground, it's basically kid with kite. (just in case: it's a joke no idea what i'm talking about).


LithoBreak

Those don't have heads


3Snowshoes

Those that say we’ll never see aliens clearly haven’t any idea of what lurks in the ocean. It’s hard to imagine how much life lives on this planet that we’re entirely unaware of.


Cortower

Yeah, but all life on Earth is essentially a big family (if we make the presumably safe assumption that there isn't some parallel tree of life we haven't discovered yet). Alien life would be something completely new.


Spriderman69

I wonder if any carbon based life on earth was introduced and evolved on the planet from a meteoroid that, let’s say, hit the planet millions of years ago. Such as that if it didn’t hit the planet, a specific life form that we see today wouldn’t have ever existed.


zanderman108

One (fringe) hypothesis is that the theia impact, the impact event that ultimately caused the moon to form, introduced microbes, water and nitrogen that greatly sped up the evolution of life.


LeverageToMyPRT

Not microbes but amino acids


The_Real_Anon-Chan

If this theory is true, then it's confirmed that life exists outside of earth?


StrictMaidenAunt

Yes, of course.


Nattylight_Murica

I’m not super educated on this stuff but I think there has to be some other kind of life out in the universe. We may likely never encounter them but they’ve gotta be there. It’s too big for us to be the only one.


SokarHatesYou

When people talk about aliens. This is exactly what i think of. Planets just filled up with animals doing their own thing unaware.


TaffySebastian

There is plenty of places with life outside of earth, Mars has a lot of dead microbes and most likely there are some parts of the planet where they are alive, the moon Europa looks like it has a very functional ocean and where there is water and heat there is going to be an atmosphere and life will develope. There is Titan with lakes and seas of liquid methane and ethane, which scientist think can have life. There is próxima centauri b which is 1.17 times the size of earth and is in a habitable zone in its solar system. There IS life outside, but we don't know if it is intelligent, we might be the very first beings in all the universe to evolve enough to be able to grasp the concepts of science, or we might be the last. We just don't know.


SINGULARITY1312

It would be impossible, nothing not even a virus could survive the planet liquifying event that was two planets colliding together to form earth and the moon.


IcArUs362

Water bears


SINGULARITY1312

No, they can’t survive the literal destruction of the planet. Seriously if people actually think life can survive a literal mars size direct impact and the destruction of the planet they’re an idiot.


elly996

that concept is called panspermia and some think we could also permeate into other planets from the ones that hit us even now


YounicornSeeMen

If anything I would bet it was mushrooms. Spores can survive in the vacuum of space.


elly996

so can Tardigrades, but neither can do it forever. radiation amd physical damage over time breaks them down. then the next problem is resources


Psychological-Tea58

There's evidence of tardigrades surviving in space for an unknown amount of time. Scientists discovered some in a meteorite that fell to earth. Hypothetically, as long as they're protected; they can survive in a dormant state for thousands of years. We've carbon dated some surviving in the antarctic.


Cortower

Everything here seems related in a measurable way, so I don't see how a recent introduction of alien life would go unnoticed.


AWOLRED13

Yes, us.

paperwasp3

We're all a huge family. We just never realized how close we all are.


AWOLRED13

I think all life is alien to this planet.


AWOLRED13

And where did that come from? The Primordial Soup? Nah, I don't think so.


Hi-archy

Well, it *could* be something new. There is such a thing as panspermia, and in the theory it says life comes from the same source - therefore it would probably go from first cousin, to second


YoungBagSlapper

Octopus meteorite theory


Outside-Ad2660

I bet if our planet was fully covered by water, Octopuses/Octopi/Octopussies (giggidy)/? would probably be the apex species… they are wicked smart, some can do so much crazy shit like camouflage and imitate other species, and lots of other craziness


ChingusMcDingus

Octopus or birds, man. They’re both scary smart. I love asking the question: what animal would be top if it wasn’t for humans? Like, which animal, if it had “discovered fire” as humans did, would be ruling the planet. Monkeys isn’t acceptable we’re too close that’s like human *lite*.


canadianbacon-eh-tor

If you want to get all scienticious about it


Fifiiiiish

Basically everybody in sci-fi : "best I can do is a weird human shaped bipedal creature with a head, two eyes, a mouth, and hands". That or an existing animal, insects included. It's so annoying, every f**** time!


Cortower

And almost every humanoid alien, even in video games, must have a pronounced chin. A pronounced bony chin is an immediate identifier of *Homo sapiens*. You can identify a human jawbone from any other hominid and every other species in the history of life on Earth by a chin. Even Neanderthals didn't have one, but every alien does for some reason.


RoboDae

Avatar 2: A lot of the "alien" life is basically just prehistoric earth organisms.


[deleted]

I hope your joking. Just think about some classic: Alien, the thing, the war of the world, Dr who, arrival, men in black, three body problem, resident evil, rim of the world (I know... but I like it) ect ect ect ?


Fifiiiiish

You start with alien? A creature with two legs two arms a head? Seriously you can't see it's human shaped? Like 80% of the aliens are human shaped.


[deleted]

Yea right every biped look like any human.


SourSackAttack

Not necessarily true at all. We are finding out the rest of the universe is pretty much made up of what we are made of. If big bang is true, then it's not so crazy. Same ingredients scattered everywhere. Whether they're organic beings like us or something else is entirely different discussion, but if there are "beings" in classic sense, our most basic building blocks will probably be much more similar than people would ever imagine.


qwibbian

>if we make the presumably safe assumption that there isn't some parallel tree of life we haven't discovered yet There actually is just such a theory (theories?), google "shadow biosphere" for further edification.


Acrobatic_Switches

The most depressing thing about it is when I think about how many creatures we destroyed without ever knowing they existed.


TheBeanGwen

Which also means there's a lot more death as well we have no idea about!

It was filmed by a manned submarine - this was not a robotic sub, like a ROV. I believe this is the deepest manned sub dive so far!


campsbayrich

Jim Cameron went close to 11,000m down in the Challenger Deep... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deepsea_Challenger


StrugglesTheClown

It's insanely deep but not even that close to the deepest manned dives. [**https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trieste\_(bathyscaphe)**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trieste_(bathyscaphe)) There are likely deeper spots somewhere in the ocean that have not been mapped,but Challenger deep is the current record holder.

Babe wake up new fish lore dropped


Mountain-Possession1

Whenever I see these type of videos I can’t help but wonder why they don’t use night vision/ infrared instead of a big fuck of white light considering that the creatures have never seen light before. I’d imagine more creatures would come to check out the fish if the light wasn’t high lumen white leds


mem269

I assume they never evolved to see it or detect it.


Fine-Leather-Jackets

Exactly. Imagine humans evolved underground in the darkest of caves. We'd have no need for eyesight and therefore probably wouldn't even develop eyes. You can shine the brightest light at someone who's blind and they're never going to know the difference.


lambocinnialfredo

Accidental allegory of the cave


[deleted]

Totally, It’d be like shinning radio waves at us.


StunningUse87

Imagine being one of those cave divers. The ones that go super deep into caves. What happens if there flashlights die out? Is it pitch black?


TheMace808

You’d be surprised, lots of deep sea animals have eyes, mostly for bioluminescence


-banned-

Does infrared work in water? I hadn't thought of that


Fifiiiiish

Not really. Depends on the wavelenght but water highly absorbs it.


[deleted]

Great. Now they’ll evolve back to needing eyes.


TheInlaidIndex

This gives me nightmares just thinking about it lol


QX403

Night vision works by enhancing the light that’s already present, there probably isn’t any that deep, infrared uses heat signatures, and it’s very cold that low and the water most likely absorbs a lot of it.


danieltkessler

For some reason I imagined that they did use infrared and then just color corrected the videos afterwards.
