@realscience The Maxwell demon thought experiment inspired my idea that the homeostasis of extremophile life forms, such as the tardigrade, locally reduces entropy! If this can be proven, then a new research method will be born, with which we can detect orders of magnitude more life forms in the cosmos, even on celestial bodies with solvents other than water, what do you think?

In astrobiology we study that tardigrades play an important role in ecology. They act as pioneer species when a ecosystem is no longer able to survive on its own due to stress conditions such as heat, draught etc. When conditions become favorable again, tardigrades help revive the entire ecosystem.

The r-opsins in the eggs is for light-dependent developmental regulation. Certain wavelengths of light trigger different gene expression patterns and is, at least partially, responsible for those various morphs of the tardigrade body you detailed in this video. This was a fairly recent discovery though so I understand why this video said no one knew why the r-opsins were in the egg actively, but not active in the hatched tardigrade.

Fun fact: If a Tardigrade walked in a straight line its whole life it could cover approximately 19 Km (11.8 mi). Scaling that up to human size that would be like us walking around earth's circumference 1.5 times. However, the average human will walk the equivalent distance of about 4 times earth's circumference in their life. Therefore humans on average walk 2 times farther in their life than tardigrades do when comparing their distance travelled to body length.

~ Tardigrades have learned thru very ancient evolution to walk by using kinesins. Kinesins are microtubule-based motor proteins that are involved in cargo transport and mitosis. They are called "motors" because they convert chemical energy to mechanical energy (i.e. force and motion). They use the energy of ATP hydrolysis for their enzymatic processes by walking on microtubules. Thus they have also used kinesins for the evolutionary advantage of survival in extreme conditions. If it doesn't work for survival in chemical mode then it will work for survival in mechanical mode.

When I first saw tardigrade, I kinda thought they could’ve been some of the start of microbiology. I was always intrigued by them as the thunder rains down outside. I’m still searching for answers, even though I’m very young. No reason not to start. I watched a few videos and this is by far, the most educational I had a lot of fun watching it. And I love to see what Moore comes out in the next 3 to 5 years. I always did think that they had evolved into a certain genius, which I thought would be extremely rare so maybe when I have the time I’ll get a microscope and grab some moss and start looking.
