Together Harvard University and XVIVO developed this 3D animation journey for Harvard's undergraduate Molecular and Cellular Biology students about the microscopic world of mitochondria. The animation highlights the creation of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) -- mobile molecules which store chemical... More

Whoops, should have noticed your username and follow up. Still awesome to hear.
sleepcity Says:
Best of luck to your in the rest of your education and career! We need more people like you in the US!
sleepcity Says:
All I can say is, please go take some introductory science courses. And read other books beside the ones that tell you what you already think you know.

insane
moka22051 Says:
well i didnt yet figure out what to say to someone with ignorance to the creator yet ..so all i say is *peace* :)) ask some really good muslim he'll give u mindblowing answers to that god willing
sleepcity Says:
"This reminds me of why scientists believe in evolution :))" They don't "believe in it" they just recognize that it's reality. It's no more a matter of "personal belief" than recognizing that gravity exists or electrostatic attraction exists. It's just a property of the universe, not something you get to "feel" one way or another about. This is an important distinction. Science is real whether you recognize it or not.
sleepcity Says:
Oh seriously do fuck off. Don't thank your imaginary friend for this, thank the throngs of people who are far more educated and intelligent than you are, who aren't satisfied with easy/stupid answers and instead do the hard work of ACTUALLY describing reality. Science isn't easy, but it leads to real answers. Religion is easy but it leads you back up your own asshole.
sleepcity Says:
Ugh. Typical religious nonsense. You're shown how amazing cellular metabolism and activity is, all things figured out by people just like you (only a lot smarter and less naive), all work of countless scientists over the centuries, disproving/confirming/building on each others work...and all you can think of? "Wow, MY "god" is really amazing." It's like a team of highly educated surgeons saving your life after an accident and your response is "Good thing MY "god" decided to save me." Unreal.
sleepcity Says:
When? Unicellular organisms are the simplest form of life (if you don't consider viruses alive) -- scientists have always thought this. Sure, they used to say things like "life somehow emerged from the primordial soup" but nobody was ever SATISFIED with that answer. Nobody has ever insisted that abiogenesis has been figured out. And no scientist has EVER said that nature isn't complex... Not being satisfied with incomplete answers is what distinguished scientists from non-scientists.

Holy shit life is amazing.
somersault1824 Says:
truly amazing!
ramikafa Says:
Just the phospholipid membrane looks gorgeous!!! Wonderful job!!!
epicrevolt Says:
Remember when scientists used to think the Cell was the simplest form of life that somehow appeared in a pond of primordial soup? Damn Nature, you're complex.

loved all these glowing trees (I'm an engineer btw)

tryna get some lables or some shit up in here

There's your parallel universes... parallel degrees of the the scale dimension.

I am not a being - I am a process.

just awesome !
asasdsdsdas Says:
gross ewwww!
zassounotsukushi Says:
It's just not the same without narration from Ms. Frizzle THUMBS UP IF YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT
whneo97 Says:
I don't understand what is wrong with the music...o.o Personally, I feel that the music is rather relevant in context of depicting the amazing 'vastness' in such a small environment and what is going on within us...I don't know about you guys...
SubterraneanStudio Says:
The music is over synthesized, Harvard sucks, but Yale's football team sucks too, so it's a stalemate.
Egyptiangurl111 Says:
The glowing particles are ATP and the turning protein cranking them out is ATP synthase. The particles turn from a green color (ADP) to a glowing color (ATP) with the addition of an inorganic phosphate.
