Cells: What goes on inside your body. Amazing! (w/video)

Very cool video. The intelligence contained in every little bit of the human body (and everything that lives) is pretty amazing. It's incredible that each little dangly bit knows exactly what to do. That's pure intelligence. No need to attribute it to an all-powerful being. It is what it is.

Yeah, I agree. Thats the crazy thing, it's like every little organism has it's very own brain. It's both amazing and creepy

I agree, no need to attribute it to any single definition of "God", but it's obvious that there IS intelligence inherent to the universe anyway. Which is to say, the universe we live in is intelligent.

I don't find it creepy. Of course, I've listened and read about Deepak Chopra's take on the body's intelligence for years.

Oxygen is a simple molecule in the atmosphere, but once it enters our lungs, it becomes part of the cellular machinery, and far from wandering about randomly, it precisely joins itself with other simple molecules, and together they perform cellular tasks, such as protein-building, whose precision is millions of times greater than anything else seen in nature. If the oxygen doesn't change physically -- and it doesn't -- what invisible change causes it to acquire intelligence the instant it contacts life?

Pretty cool.

Thank you for posting this. Its pretty cool. Amazing...although I would have really liked if they had added some text in the video as well...kind of felt like watching a Disney movie

But I am watching the 8 min video with text and other audio. Seems very interesting..

There were several good responses to my "Cancer" remark and you all have given me something new to think about. But I still think that if the human race was to completely disappear from the face of the earth, the world wouldn't me a beat.

Has anyone else ever thought about what makes up the cells themselves. Are there cells within cells within cells??? Where does it stop? Wasn't the atom considered to be the smallest particle at one time, until they split it?

Having worked electronics most my adult life, I alway marveled at how small some of the compontents and wires were. I just couldn't see how they were made and put together. And I think someone else mentioned going towards the other end of the scale. What kind of being are we a part of. After seeing the Deep Space photo of all the galaxies, maybe they're just part of a whole.

You mean this one?



Yes, I too had a lot of questions about what I was seeing when I saw the OP video, so it's nice to see them answered in the longer one.

Star and flag for OP bringing this amazing video to our attention.

remarkable, i would love to see a feature length film made from this style

that would truly be breathtaking and innovative
