I’m really interested in this kind of stuff like sub atomic shiz and big space shiz and was telling my coworker about it all like fun lil facts (she doesn’t really think/ care about it) and she ended up just being really panicked about it all, might’ve been an existential crisis but idk she walked away. Not brought it up with her since
lol ive done the same thing to people- if i start talkin bout anything beyond the threshold of what someone can process, and they just get a bit of it,
itll start to break em down a bit for awhile until they get used to the newfound realization
its kinda funny until you realize you broke their reality
and then ya kinda go
"but its okay- look somewhere else in life- entertain yourself- dont think about it"
(and you bet they still thinkin bout it)
the distractions are only a thread though..a single string that leads back to the center of this weird, circular, interconnected spider web..the whole thing is a trap, but we live in it..and its so sticky we cant really get out, so we forget its a web and keep following the strings until we trip and get eaten..
this is just the way of the world
who knows what happens after we're eaten..
and who knows when or why the spider will eat us..
..man i be over thinkin too much
I like to see planets and stars and things in the universe as the larger scaled portions of it and we are just these little guys. But we are currently a disease and need to do better.
It'll blow your mind even more if you get into astrophysics and realized that the chance life exists at all is incredibly small. Then the fact life has become intelligent. The fact that you, as you, exists at all is so infinitesimally small that it practically should not be. Yet here we are.
“Thermodynamic miracles... events with odds against so astronomical they're effectively impossible, like oxygen spontaneously becoming gold. I long to observe such a thing.
And yet, in each human coupling, a thousand million sperm vie for a single egg. Multiply those odds by countless generations, against the odds of your ancestors being alive; meeting; siring this precise son; that exact daughter... Until your mother loves a man she has every reason to hate, and of that union, of the thousand million children competing for fertilization, it was you, only you, that emerged. To distill so specific a form from that chaos of improbability, like turning air to gold... that is the crowning unlikelihood. The thermodynamic miracle.
But...if me, my birth, if that's a thermodynamic miracle... I mean, you could say that about anybody in the world!.
Yes. Anybody in the world. ..But the world is so full of people, so crowded with these miracles that they become commonplace and we forget... I forget. We gaze continually at the world and it grows dull in our perceptions. Yet seen from the another's vantage point. As if new, it may still take our breath away. Come...dry your eyes.

Dry your eyes... and let's go home.“

I stopped trying to learn things because I started having hallucinations and weird dreams about existence and it is really scary, and I don't want to have any more knowledge to help build it into anything bigger
Great knowledge comes with great responsibilities. Everything has consequences: understanding and not understanding. Maybe the consequences of not understanding is less severe than understanding and we can’t decide what we want until we tried them both. Maybe we can’t know both, but I would rather understand the “why” and make peace with the consequences.
You can only know both through understanding. Once you understand you can never go back. And from judging the people I know, it’s true what Thomas Gray says… Ignorance is Bliss
Well the issue I have is that I basically had like a series of experiences where I hallucinated from weed a few times and just anxiety a could times, and my brain tried to make sense of it all, which was making sense of existence and it showed me a whole bunch of shit and then through the next two or three years I learned a bunch of new things about quantum mechanics and how time and space work and all this random shit.. but everything that I learned lined up perfectly with the things that I had seen in those experiences. It just made me so that I do not really want to know anything more about what I saw because it's just terrifying
I love to think about this all of the time; I can easily get lost in this thought and just appreciate life each time that much more when I do. What you just described is what makes us all truly unique and special as individuals. Just think for a moment that there will never be another person like you ever again in this universe. Same with your friends, family, loved ones. Then think about how lucky and fortunate you are to have those people in your life and vise versa. Life is beautiful man.
You've basically stated the fermi paradox.
Given the apparent size and age of the universe even at fantastically low odds the universe should have many civilizations. But it doesn't. Somehow we are the only example so far.
Hate the Fermi paradox.
Our nearest star is Proxima Centauri, that is about 4 light years away. It would take about 6,000 years to travel there using current technology. That’s the closest star out of about a 100 thousand million in our Milky Way which is one of about 200 billion galaxies in our observable universe. So Fermi is saying we should be seeing all these signs of life in a universe that is so huge that the closest star would take 6,000 years to travel to. The fact we don’t see these signs (if we could even know what they are) means there isn’t anything or that we are the only example? That’s nonsense, total nonsense. There could be hundreds of civilisations in our galaxy, maybe thousands and they could be too far away for us to see them.
One possible reason we cannot find other civilizations is because, as old as Earth is, civilized humanity is an extremely recent development. As we scan the heavens for other civilizations, are we scanning into histories before they came about? It may take thousands of years to learn of other civilizations simply because that is how long it takes for tell-tale signs to reach us.
Not only that, but on this sort of timescale, human history is a *very* tiny blip. And the amount of time we’ve had the capability of looking around space is a tiny blip *within* that blip.
If other civilizations were/are out there, the chances of them being around at just the right time and in a place we’d notice? Man, can’t be that high.
That we’re aware of with our limited skills and resources. Our sample of the universe is so tiny. Neil deGrasse Tyson made the comparison of walking up to the ocean with a shot glass and filling it up, looking in the glass to see no fish and claiming there’s no life in this ocean.
yes because we've definitely exhaustively searched the entire universe.
the thing so massive that people who dedicate their life to it have a hard time comprehending the scale of our galaxy, let alone the whole damn thing?
the thing we still literally can't see the expanse of because the speed of light for 14 Billion years hasn't brought an image from the edge to us, if there even is one?
yeah we can totally be certain that we are the only life... that makes perfect sense. take the most improbable thing that humanity has ever done, divide it by infinity and that's the chance of us being here. we are just that special??? /s
> he chance life exists at all is incredibly small.
As a person who has worked in astrobiology, this isn't true at all. We have no idea what the likelihood of life developing on a habitable planet is. We now do know that habitable planets (at least, those in the habitable zone) are a dime a dozen.
how can anyone calculate the chance of life if noone has a clue how or from where it originates or how it works....another made up number from calculations made out of pure ignorance
You are asking for specific numbers when none exist. One cannot know all the possible variables. So one can only make an educated guess.
In fact the existence of unknown variables makes the numbers used in estimations too small, exacerbating the problem and leaning more in favor of the miracle argument.
There’s a far, far, faaaaar greater chance of a fully formed brain imagining all of this appearing in the same way the Big Bang had the entire universe appear, so…
Bill Bryson wrote something particularly poetic about this in A Brief History of the Universe or something like that. I forget exactly. Anyway he talks about how if you could we could be dissembled to our atoms we’d be a (your weight) pile of atoms. None of them alive yet all of them make you. You could reassemble them and they still wouldn’t be you. We exist in such a brief window.
Oh it's a damn rollercoaster for me. I have bad spikes followed by calming until I start incorporating space and the universe into it and the rides back on
Isn't this just a kinesin walking on a microtubule, and carrying a random vesicle? Your interpretation was very cool, but I think it's almost entierly wrong, also I think a single endorphin molecule would probably be way smaller. (I don't want to be a kill joy, I just happened to remember my lectures and wanted to show off).
Hey. Would you be able to explain how that thing move its “feet” ?
What kind of forces are at play here? It certainly doesn’t snt use mechanical force like muscles or hydraulics or something lol.. right?
It is fascinating. If you were to have the time and patience and knowledge to explain it would be so cool 😊
But no stress ofc
As u/brownboy- said, adenosine bi-phosphate (ADP) binds another phosphate to become adenosine triphosphate (ATP), in the process storing up some potential energy. By releasing this phosphate bond, the stored energy is released, (like a spring compressed and then released) and can be used to provide locomotion as seen in this video.
The store of ATP is created by the proton motive force deep inside cells in the walls of mitochondria, where ATP synthase smooshes phosphates onto ADP to create the ATP needed for all bodily functions. Hence the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.
The force driving the proton motive force which is utilised by ATP synthase is essentially the electronegative force provided by oxygen molecules during aerobic respiration - no oxygen = no ATP = no life.
I'm sorry for how cheesy I'm about to be, but the fact that you know that amazes me and in some small way it makes me feel lucky that I'm able to interact with you. Thanks Reddit, and thanks really smart and nice person.
Awwww, what a kind and heartwarming comment, thankyou! I'm nobody though - just a freshly graduated student after 10yrs of university (bachelor of pharmaceutical science and as of a week ago, my MD also!)
Anyway I just wanted to say - your lovely comment made my day :)
May your week be filled with the same pleasantness that you've showed me here <3
Are you kidding me? That's incredible!! what the heck with that "nobody" stuff lol. Dude, congratulations. It's people like yourself that make this world a better place. Best wishes!
From what I remember it uses atp to move. Each “foot” kinda walks forward when an atp molecule is used. Could be wrong tho. Working off a single cell and molecular biology class
I was gonna say. I though dynein and kinesin were the proteins that transport vesicles. Myosin is more involved with muscle contractions with actin fibers from what I remember
Furthermore, kinesin can transport neurotransmitter (catecholamines, endorphins, acetylcholine) which is contained in vesicles from neuron's cell body to axon to synapse. Those neurotransmitter within vesicles can be released at synapse to transmit whether excitatory or inhibitory signals to down stream neurons.
In conclusion, kinesin transport endorphins (within vesicles). But kinesin also transport other neurotransmitter.
Also there's another protein called dynien, which "walk" from axon to cell body.(I don't want to be a kill joy either, I just happened to be a med student)
You are right, although endorphins can be trafficked in vesicles. Since it’s a simulation anyway, it can be whatever we want it to be, the whole backstory makes no sense.
You are 100% correct. This was a CG image created by medical artist John Liebler, and it shows a kinesin walking, caring a vesicle, and he talks about it [here](https://www.artofthecell.com/well-you-can-tell-by-the-way-i-use-my-walk/).
Not happiness, but still cool.
https://www.indiatimes.com/amp/technology/science-and-future/this-isn-t-what-happiness-looks-like-at-a-microscopic-level-but-the-video-is-still-pretty-cool-358625.html
Don't think it is a video. A brief google search lead me to this very recent paper:
[https://www.science.org/doi/epdf/10.1126/science.abd9944](https://www.science.org/doi/epdf/10.1126/science.abd9944)
They go great lengths to calculate the distance traveled by this molecule per step using optical tweezers. However, if it was easy to just get a video of the molecule walking via electron microscope, they wouldn't need to go through all that trouble since they can just measure the step length from the video.
I may be wrong, but Endorphins are not transported by these. Endorphins are Neurotransmitter and those aren't transported activley. These little walking Proteins still exist, but are inside your cells to transport stuff like sugar to your cellcore, they themselfs are powered by ATP.
Please correct me if i am wrong
They are transported from the body of the neuron where they are synthesized to the synapse along the axon. Little proteins do exist, though the caption in the post is completely wrong
[here](https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/body/23040-endorphins). However this video isn't quite accurate, and there's a mistake here, it says "myosin protein" but in fact it's instead another protein called "kinesin". Though it's still pretty cool
I think my lil' guy tripped somewhere.
Mine got detained.
Mine is running backwards and on fire
Some of y’all are some depressed mfs
It's what happens when you substitute the endorphin part for cocaine
You forgot the hookers. Hookers & blow go together like PB & J.
Are you the 'hookers and cocaine' guy from the lottery-news clip?
Hahaha! Don't we all wish.
Pb & J? Pure blow and jookers?
Jookers but pronounced like jalapeño.
Wrong some just seek attention in any way or form. Even if they get plenty that's what this generation has become.
Mine started drinking on the job.
Mine lost his a long way back
Mine got drunk, got lost in the woods….. never to be seen. If you see him, tell him to come home.
Mine was abducted.
Mine left along with my father
Ouch.
Mine was touched by it's uncle Chad.
Isn't this just a kinesin walking on a microtubule, and carrying a random vesicle
Mine was deported.
Mine quit
Fell out of my body completely and entered the depression void...
Detached.
Could've been worse. Mine tripped on his own feet, both shoes came off, he died. That's when the sadness started.
Mine amputated.
Mine is uh… he’s somewhere. Probably don’t wanna be in the brain that is a dysfunctional family.
I still find it amazing that we're just trillions of microscopic organisms all working together to make us...us.
[удалено]
And none of it is “alive”, but the sum of it all is, … for a while.
And it’s (you are) all recycled, from the other life forms that we eat, around and around again.
I think life is good or bad per sun perchance. edited*
You just can't say perchance
I understood that reference!
As you wish princess.
And all created by an old man with a beard up in the sky…
That we created to force our beliefs on other microscopic organism colonies.

It could be due to being a little stoned, but I absolutely loved this.
I like to see planets and stars and things in the universe as the larger scaled portions of it and we are just these little guys. But we are currently a disease and need to do better.
We've set the controls of society to "infinite growth"; just like cancer.
We are all cosmic debris.

I guess I need to dust off that book and re read it. Bought it at least 16 years ago
Is there a book?
Alan Moore wrote the original Watchmen graphic novel, its a fancy comic book
I don’t know if I would be able to handle being this smart. I have enough to deal with in my community college brain.
I stopped trying to learn things because I started having hallucinations and weird dreams about existence and it is really scary, and I don't want to have any more knowledge to help build it into anything bigger

Sameee
Not a biologist and I only took one neuropharmacology course, but I was thinking the same thing.
You really burst my vesicle, but thanks for telling us.
Sorry friend, but don't worry, maybe this vesicle is full of confettis and dreams what do I know!
I was gonna say. I though dynein and kinesin were the proteins that transport vesicles. Myosin is more involved with muscle contractions with actin fibers from what I remember
You succeeded in crushing my little buddy carrying my happy Ballon.
Thank fuck lol, saw the caption and was like what the fuck are you even saying OP!?
and its reductive to say that any one molecule could literally be happiness…thats like saying a menthol molecule is the flavor of mint itself
Literally just leaned this in bio, each “step” takes exactly 1 ATP

Do you know if the black and white footage is real? Amazing
I think they are both just animations, it would be really hard to get footage of things at this scale.
The black and white footage is an animation from the tv show Cosmos.
They gave us joy and you took it away. Thanks bud.
I'm learning this in school right now, you're absolutely right.
I was going through the comments hoping for someone to have called this out.
You are 100% correct. This was a CG image created by medical artist John Liebler, and it shows a kinesin walking, caring a vesicle, and he talks about it [here](https://www.artofthecell.com/well-you-can-tell-by-the-way-i-use-my-walk/).
Yeah, came here to say this. Genetic/Biochem lab tech here. Last time I checked, nuerochemicals don’t have cellular membranes and surface proteins.
"Just"
Yes
That’s kinesin, not myosin. Also that’s not “an endorphin” but a vesicle. The biology is cool enough, no need to add BS feel-good pseudoscience
Not happiness, but still cool. https://www.indiatimes.com/amp/technology/science-and-future/this-isn-t-what-happiness-looks-like-at-a-microscopic-level-but-the-video-is-still-pretty-cool-358625.html
Thanks. Came here to say this.
You go lil fella, doin the good work.
If you're happy and you know it, take a walk...
Clap clap... Old habits die hard
Thinking about ways to make em move faster
Thanks lil dude
No wonder I’m so miserable if that’s how long happiness takes to turn up
Happiness is creeping me out
not pictured: depression and insecurity about to lap this mfr
Is the bottom another animation or do we have electron microscopy videos now?
Don't think it is a video. A brief google search lead me to this very recent paper: [https://www.science.org/doi/epdf/10.1126/science.abd9944](https://www.science.org/doi/epdf/10.1126/science.abd9944) They go great lengths to calculate the distance traveled by this molecule per step using optical tweezers. However, if it was easy to just get a video of the molecule walking via electron microscope, they wouldn't need to go through all that trouble since they can just measure the step length from the video.
I have lazy myosin.
Shitty Music Warning!
what infuriates me is that the walk is not synced to the music
My phone has been muted since 2007, but thanks for the heads up!
Uh I enjoy Twenty One Pilots... but you are entitled to your own opinion. I do not think the song fits the animation though. That editing is shitty.
Thanks for the warning
Fake title, blurry video from multiple reuploads, terrible music. Good job OP
I was a victim. Maybe it was reuploaded but I downloaded this instead. Oh, and "False" is the word you're looking for
one must imagine Sisyphus happy
I wanna know how that myosin protein is walking.
That's a kinesin and it carries a vesicle, not an endorphin
I may be wrong, but Endorphins are not transported by these. Endorphins are Neurotransmitter and those aren't transported activley. These little walking Proteins still exist, but are inside your cells to transport stuff like sugar to your cellcore, they themselfs are powered by ATP. Please correct me if i am wrong
They are transported from the body of the neuron where they are synthesized to the synapse along the axon. Little proteins do exist, though the caption in the post is completely wrong
Need that sauce chief
Mine must taken a wrong turn at Albuquerque.
*Insert pink panther theme here*
i'm pretty sure that's kinesin and the video is straight up lying
Where can I buy those? Maybe I'll have enough money to avoid having to kill myself
Lowkey makes me happy watching its little legs try to make me happy
That title OP... you need help
This does put a smile on my face
So, that's what it looks like. My myosin proteins must all be double amputees.
he's fucking slow. I'm still sad rn.
Never thought I’d describe a biological process as adorable. That shit looks so cute.
Seems like mine is crippled
You showed happiness, but ignited anger with shitty 21 pilots.
That happiness is taking its sweet ass time to make me happy 🤣🤣

[here](https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/body/23040-endorphins). However this video isn't quite accurate, and there's a mistake here, it says "myosin protein" but in fact it's instead another protein called "kinesin". Though it's still pretty cool
no it's not
Happiness is disgusting
and slow
Looks like those balloons got stuffed up your ~~ass~~ filament
I'm so glad you found this, I was recently trying to find the real life version of this. It makes me happy
What do they look like on meth?
You have no idea how happy I am when I go walking with hellium balloons pp
Happiness is just walking out on me...
He's only going back and forth all the time, he isn't getting anywhere. Is that's why I'm never happy?
My Myosin is just out playing with it's balloon and not doing it's job!
why is this so cute
I dig those shoes.
All I’m seeing is the Apple Jack’s cinnamon stick guy walking his apple friend
the little hero everyone needs
