    So then if genetic decay is as you claim, what will become of all living species in a million years or 100 million years?
    Evolution relies on passing genetics on to offspring, those with the best genes survive to pass them on. How then does your theory of mutations being inherently negative allow for millions and millions of years of prosperous and changing living organisms?

    No… amino acids are conjoined by peptide BONDS, which form polypeptide chains, 1 or more polypeptide chains form proteins…

    Why this is impossible. I will oversimplify it but if you want to know more I can send you to a video that will explain it very easily.. Look for another comment reply because it will take more than 150 characters to say..

  • Paul Mckenzie on February 14, 2013

    (simplified) There are 2 types of peptide bonds. Type A and Type B. ONLY Type A form FUNCTIONING proteins that are used in living matter. If there is ONE single B-bond, the protein is useless for life. In chemistry, Type A peptide bonds and Type B bonds occur at about a 1:1 chance. (50% for A + B)

    Conclusion: to form ONE polypeptide chain of 150 amino acids, you need EVERY peptide bond to be TYPE A. That’s a 50% chance for EVERY bond between amino’s. (50% X 149) = 5×10^148…

    FOR ONE PROTEIN.

    Peptide bond

    Could you provide a source, The only thing I can find even close is about beta pleated sheets and alpha helices, which themselves are chains of amino acids creating proteins.

    First of all, you’re making the assumption that there has been millions of years before us and will be millions after us… Earths electro-magnetosphere has been degrading at a CONSTANT rate of 5% every century (it’s been measured for the past 200 years)… Considering this rate is constant; going back 20,000 years in time, earth would have had the electro-magnetosphere of the average star… Translation: life would have been impossible 20,000 years ago.

  • zerocheese on February 14, 2013

    Yes, there were millions of years of life before the year 2013. We can see this in fossils using carbon dating. As for Earths electromagnetic field, it’s been theorized that the poles flip about every 250k years. This can be seen in the orientation of iron crystals from once molten lava. Saying that we would have had such a strong electromagnetic field 20k years ago is like saying “Because we had a 10% increase in C02 in the air in the past 50 years, 500 years ago there must not have been any.”

    This is blowing my fuckin mind.

    05:06 I find that animation missleading as it did not instantly change..

  • CommanderTH0R on February 14, 2013

    does only 1 (ONE) photon makes too that kind of lines on screen??

    “We’ve never detected a wimp in the laboratory”
    I find that hard to believe. Are all physicists badasses like Neil Tyson?

  • markden21 on February 14, 2013

    YES I WANT TO SKIP THE FUCKING AD!

  • GwoodBloodz on February 14, 2013

    ummmmmmmm no

  • GwoodBloodz on February 14, 2013

    i can say what i want? Mr big bang

  • Dafydd Watkins on February 14, 2013

    That doesn’t make it true. The evidence clearly points towards a big bang.

    9:32 terrible audio dub

  • beirirangu on February 14, 2013

    I wonder if quantum entanglement is due to the other dimentions found at those sizes, and with a bend in space-time… bla bla bla… I have no real idea

  • FreeAgentsMarket on February 14, 2013

    i wonder if theres diffrent colours out there that we havent seen,

  • spaveevo on February 14, 2013

    the end of the month hasnt happened yet so you never know

  • Diana BAF on February 15, 2013

    im having a physics orgasm

  • black2007tl on February 15, 2013

    That song in the beginning is from the movie “predator” pretty cool.

  • jumpinjimney on February 15, 2013

    so in some universe I’m successful YEA!
