good day closet nerds sorry to break it to you if you clicked on this video you're either a
big old nerd like me or you're a closet nerd i only talk straight facts around here so
let's get into it my name is dylan dance and if you clicked on this video thinking you're going
to get some guy dancing i apologize this isn't a dancing channel that is my name a like for this
channel is the like for science so make sure you go down there click on that button let's uh try
and get more people to come out of the closet come out of the proverbial nerd closet it's now
cool to be a nerd like science is cool it's cool [ __ ] so let's get this video around spread the
word and let's watch some rick and morty watch okay but we've been here for hours i don't want
to hang out at the stupid horse hospital the stupid horse hospital puts dinner on your table
what's this thing in the middle of the room with with the hole in the
end that's a breeding mount the nurses use it to collect reproductive materials
does your hospital ever need like after-school volunteers wow who are you and where
well it's it's not rick's fault it's space sperm what yeah space sperm i i've seen him
before but n never like this well mr president the theory of cosmic dna has been around for decades
chupacabras yeti stonehenge ancient rome are these all myths monsters legends or
different names for sperm from outer space okay so this is actually quite genius and
some of you may have called this but i feel like i kind of just had like an aha moment there
um there's a there's a hypothesis of how life started on earth um and how life
might start on other planets as well and it's called panspermia that's right spermia sperm
and so i think that's what where this whole idea has pretty much come from and so this panspermia
idea if you've ever seen the movie prometheus where you know life on earth has kind of been
seeded by an alien species i believe that's called artificial panspermia but what i'm referring to
is something called natural panspermia and it's very possible that life actually originated on
mars because we believe that mars a long time ago may have had liquid oceans and possibly even life
so you know if a massive asteroid or comet hit mars and sent fragments flying out and you know
maybe you had some little microbes or bacteria you know clinging to these rocks that eventually then
crashed into earth and maybe seeded earth with life and so maybe life didn't actually begin
on earth you also might say well how could microbes or any sort of life form survive
you know vacuum you know space well we actually have some of these animals on our planet which can
survive in outer space called tardigrades also known as water bears and in fact there could
be a bunch of them floating on the moon right now because i can't remember the specifics but
i remember an israeli spacecraft that went around the moon actually crashed into the moon
that had a sample of tardigrades and probably released the tardigrades on the moon they're
probably dead because we have done some experiments with them in space and i believe
that's what they were doing at the time and uh so we've subjected them to the vacuum of space
i can't remember the specifics but we've brought them back inside after a certain amount of time
and we've reanimated them they were still alive so these things are really incredible they can
withstand all other kinds of crazy temperatures and crazy stuff so we believe that this sort of
panspermia hypothesis really does have some merit and it could be actually how life began on the
planet the concept of this episode is genius i love it morty you've always been a straight
shooter you can't prove that wait what oh oh right i can protect you little man blow that whistle
toot toot is this your grandpa's fault here's what i know sir this is the greatest country on earth
it invented apple pies and lasers keep talking and that's relax i'm not going to go on a five-minute
tangent talking about lasers or am i i'm really reaching here but i just recalled another fun
little fact there's nothing to do with actual pie but you know the the number pi 3.14 well you know
how it's in a rational number so the decimals go on forever it's like an infinite number they never
repeat well there could be a pattern in there but no one's ever found one and there doesn't
seem to be one and if you get far enough down the line at the 760 second decimal place of pi
there's a sequence of six nines and it's called the fireman point because he found it
and he decided to name it and so yeah six nine sixty nine what a guy that guy over there richard
fireman nobel prize winning physicist from america before we move on and watch more i'll give you a
quote about pie not the number pie actual apple pie and it comes from carl sagan another one of my
heroes who's also american and he said if you want to make an apple pie from scratch
you must first invent the universe sperm are instinctively heading for america
high road us lady it's where they went now how do we deal with these or gaza goblins no tankers okay
these sperm in here they can't hold guns the boy literally never lies look if you want these things
gone give rick and me a plane and some nukes we'll wipe them out and leave no trace of them only one
way to deal with it he's right i'm a scientist fair enough blown to hell i'm a scientist you can
fix anything with some nukes you've probably heard of how elon wants to uh terraform mars he wants to
make it you know look a bit more like earth and he plans on doing that by dropping some nukes on it
it would actually work it's a great idea i back it but i don't think anyone's going to
let him do it unfortunately i'm sorry but what the hell are we calling them
fine i'm dying so i get to pick the name krispy kremes i hope krispy kreme doesn't have to come
out with like a new theme donut i mean i doubt they will but that'd be pretty genius marketing
sorry houston i thought i heard something negative on our end no wait there's something big and
it's coming right at you dear god no you can't be real explorer what is it what the hell do you see
my conscience that's genius did you catch a reference there that's uh 2001. at the end of
the movie 2001 you have this star child which is kind of like you know the next thing from mankind
or at least that's my interpretation of it that you know it's floating above the earth and i think
the fact that it's an incest baby rather than the you know descendant of the evolution of mankind
that's the perfect uh you know rick and morty version of 2001. which of these background marines
you think will last the longest i'm not betting on human lives rick all of these people are going
to survive but obviously that guy the longest yeah he's my pick too what's his name blazin
pretty cool yeah he's like meditating through turbulence yeah i better have this show but
did you know we don't even understand turbulence like people assume you know us guys in science or
physicists if you even know what they are that we have a lot of this stuff figured out and we
really don't we really don't know much about anything especially turbulent it's one of the
big open questions so yeah next time you're on a plane and we hit turbulence we don't actually know
how to sort of model it in an accurate way which i've always found fascinating especially when i
found out i was like hang on we don't know what it is i mean like obviously it's you know air
moving around in complex patterns but we can't describe those patterns with math at the moment
morty don't [ __ ] with me what the hell is going on with you i think i know exactly what's going on
here kidding this [ __ ] is totally random let's keep moving literally every physicist ever we
totally think we know what's going on occasionally and then we realize this shit's totally random we
have no idea what's going on none of you have an idea i do that's right me the girl gentlemen what
do sperm you want to control giant sperm you need a giant egg wait wait a minute wait wait a minute
sperm our hunters enlarged one they'll head right for it get mit on the phone and get this guy a
nobel prize you became a woman today oh that's so true have you ever heard of a woman called melana
you probably haven't but you've probably heard of einstein and unfortunately einstein worked very
closely with this malena which was his uh first partner uh the first nobel prize he i mean he only
won one he gave all the money to this molina we really don't know what happened but it seems like
molina actually did a lot of the math in some of einstein's early work and so she could be the real
genius behind einstein or at least well i mean i think she's definitely as smart as einstein
if not possibly the real brains behind some of the theories so einstein she would often
actually do all the calculations for einstein all the mathematical stuff um so yeah sad world
that'll do it for today's video guys i hope you enjoyed that make sure you leave a comment down
under if you have any good ideas for things that i can watch or if you want me to make some more
rick and morty make sure you like the video tell me down under come follow me on instagram where i
posted memes and i'll leave you with a quote probably my favorite ever quote um it's by
stephen hawking and he kind of plagiarizes from other people but anyway life would be tragic
if it weren't funny and i think it's extremely relevant whilst we're all in a global pandemic
