Hello and welcome! My name is Anton and in this video, we will talk about the discovery of how cosmic rays most likely led the evolution of DNA molecules to be right handed over time.Paper: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8213/ab8dc6

Is this Greta Thunberg’s YouTube channel?
so pewdiepie lie to us..he said we are floor gang…and now this said that all human are right wall gang 😳
Communism is doomed? lol LEFT gets killed by default xD
Unconvincing
That means most alien food will be edible.
Very cool Video!
I wonder if people who are alergic to everything are developing a left-handed molecule preference?
Turns out only one chirality of Thalidomide caused birth defects, the other was an effective drug. Unfortunately it shipped as a 50/50 mix of each.
wordefull cosmic rays just like you anton
Do nuonts move faster then light . And how do you spell them . I can bearly hear how prenounce them
Reaching.
Hi love your videos. I have a question. You said that like started in a mix of different elements and organic material. But how do you have organic material present before life was started? Impossible
Well, when I was a kid I used to write with both hands. Now I can only write with my right hand… Hmmm… Curious… 🤔
(Don’t be stupid, of course it’s a joke.)
dang so space is the reason i’m right handed i guess
Fermi Paradox explanation number 648C. They don’t like us because we’re right-handed.
This is why I’m not gonna be an astronaut!
Is RNA lefty….?
Thanks wonderful person, for explaining science in a way that dumb people can understand.
Dextromethoraphan?
Once again Anton takes a very obscure topic and makes a fascinating video out of it. Bravo sir.
Wow this is cool. Gives me flashbacks to the strong anthropomorphic principle.
The radiation you measure could also be radon, unless you’re outside.
Good stuff Anton
After watching this video I am left confused.
XEIROC 🖐️, mână, hand, ruka 🤚
Am I a cosmic anomaly
Wonder what right handed life is Life is like.
Legend has it d.n.a in Australia is left handed
Great video. Much enjoyed. Thanks a lot.
So that’s why I’m hung to the left
Indeed, d-alpha-tocopherol or the _right_ handed form of vitamin E is the form preferred by our bodies. All those people buying cheap Vit E supplements that does not specify the d/right-handed form are essentially consuming a less effective product and donating money to the manufacturers for no good reason.
DOes this mean it turns counter counter clockwise (right to left)?
Super-interesting, Anton – thanks. By the way, are most of the scientific articles you cite open-access articles, or are they articles for which you have to have a subscription? Thanks again.
I was first
Very interesting Anton.
Life might be a accusation loop
If that is the case, that might cause difficulties to explain how life started only once on planet earth.
That’s right Anton forward and to the right.
Inject some left hand alien blood and your body would explode.
I haven’t heard the word chiral in a long time. (Shudders in chemistry flash backs)
Never stop posting videos please
Bremsstrahlung!
Sci Fi explored the idea of flipped chiralilty.
Loved it !
I was about to say, wouldn’t the muon spin effect molecules, I guess I’m not think as they dumb I are! Ha..
Did they tie DNAs left hand behind their back and make them write with their right? 😂
It would be cool if the deep biosphere hypothesis is proven true and we can find left handed life that developed do to the lack of cosmic rays
“obviously this is not something you can feel”
Well now that you said it, i feel kinda off.
Also for other readers:
You are now breathing manually
I’ve always had a thought that maybe the reason some people fit into their astrology signs has something to do with some type of cosmic radiation present at the time their born.
Sup dudes! 4th
Hmmm so this is why we use right handed threads as well I bet
anton you’re getting very click baity right now, your last two videos or better said the titles of the last two videos are stating something like it’s a solid fact but you say in the very beginning of these videos…”may, maybe, it’s just a hypithesis”
all of these latest topics that you are presenting are barely hypothesis so stop using expressions such “puzzle solved”, ” we know everything about” and such…it’s a click bait af because we know nothing certain about those topics..at least not for now
As always an interesting new piece of knowledge and layer of wonder to life here and slave beyond.
1:20 … we don’t really know… but… mystery solved!
Nice video, Anton. Thank you. Will you make a video about the universal definition of life?
*The Left haven’t been cosmically upgraded*
I’m left-handed and I object!
Would be interesting to see the resulting effect cosmic rays have on prokaryotic life. Till then its merley a “hypothesis” : )
You always have some interesting things to talk about’ ;|)
Life on other planets becomes more and more clear every day
Your awesome love the way you explain your work so a simpleten like myself can understand thanks
hmm i seen a vid awhile ago. that theorized that lighting may be cause by gamma rays?? or cosmic rays? I forget which one..
an important one you missed was thalidomide but again great video thank you Anton
thank you wonderful anton for another interesting, short video. i watch a lot of interesting videos on youtube relating to science and learning coz i am under-educated. u r my favourite teacher. even ahead of arvin ash or that ryan seacrest looking guy on veritasium. and i truly admire u and both those guys for the ability to take a complicated idea and explain it to me in a way i sometimes understand.
Comment for wonderful likes
Let there be light!
Most definitely a “key” in understanding the origin of life, let’s hope no alarms were tripped.
since when you have become an expert on what earth looked like millions of years ago when you where not there.
Anton thank you for uploading each day! Always looking forward for a new upload.
Everything is Mirrored…Everything. Love your all your vids Anton.
Great video as always, I do have a question, as anton mentions muons decay and interact with molecules, our current hypothesis, which suggests life started alongside hydrothermal vents( which are pretty deep down). Based on this; is it not logical to assume there would be very little muon bias exposed to the early RNA and DNA?
ah brilliant clip. if i had enough BAT coins from my BRAVE Browser i would pay/tip to view this clip.
You spin me right round, baby, right round
Great! And by the way ” somewhere out there” – that is also a nice song.
Thalidomide would be another extreme example of medicinal molecule with toxic and beneficial properties depending on chirality
I wish I could afford to support you on patreon, but I wil buy a t-shirt soon. You sure are a wonderful person <3
That’s really interesting that they may have finally figured it out.
I know they did experiments with the various chemical prototypes of DNA, and only resulted in clumps of organic matter (Muller-Frey).
I always thought that it was the addition of external energy that led to true life existing on Earth.
Does this mean all life “travels” clockwise.
Love your intro and outro music, they are perfect for this space channel, don’t change them
5:57 No problems taking that on an airplane!?
i thought i had it but when i asked “how do i get out of here?” it didn’t matter.
For those interested in more early earth life theories, check out nick lanes theories, super interesting stuff
This explains the Star Trek episode, “Mirror, Mirror”, where they had the parallel universe, evil version of the Enterprise’s crew. “Evil Kirk”, “Evil Spock”, etc. …They had left handed molecules!
Hey Anton, thanks for making these videos! I look forward to seeing the updates from Mars in 30 years ^^. Keep at it!
This vid has a high fun factor.
Comment section is a good read too!
Thx everybody!
Mind: blown.
6:08 thank me later
Wasn’t the easy live started in the oceans, can the cosmic rays reach that far under the water?
I listen to Anton while playing elite dangerous ^.^ Stay Safe Wonderful Persons!!!!
71 Views as I’m typing this… Damn. That’s early
I’m jealous of lefties. I really am.
…So you’re saying life on Earth IS a mutant superpower?
That’s metal.
Perhaps there was a similar phenomenon that created the preponderance of matter over anti-matter in the early universe?
this is early Earth for tomorrow’s viewers
🐜 on you bring a smile to this American in these troubled times
One day, humans will walk on *_Proxima b_*
my grandpa had a stutter when he was young and forced right handed
When he started being left handed dominant, the stutter went away 😀
This video is neat
Not every molecule has handedness. Simple stuff (like water, for example) can always be rotated to map directly onto any other water molecule.
The more complicated a molecule, the more likely it does (but, even a massively complex molecule could theoretically have no handedness).
(@2:19 Anton suggests they all do.)
Cosmic rays->radiation->light->right handed
no radiation->dark->left handed
I knew left handed people are from the dark side.
Most interesting topic you’ve covered so far, Anton. I’m going to have to look up the original paper and do some studying. When I was at university, this was considered THE biggest mystery in biochemistry. If this is REALLY TRUE, as opposed to another interesting but not-so-true hypothesis, this might be a game changer in our understanding of life on Earth, and perhaps life in the galaxy!
Thank you for bringing this article to us today.
Several of you wonderful people mentioned there was a mistake with Limonene in the video.
D-limonene (or R, + rotation, clockwise, right handed) is the terpene associated with the smell of citrus fruits (lemons, oranges, etc)
L-limonene (or S, – rotation, anticlockwise, left handed) is the terpene associated with the smell of pine needles (mmm… pine needles)
-Sean Michael Scully thank you for the detailed info
