Life is the most complex form of matter. The forces of nature combine, and simple lifeforms evolve into all the diversity of living things. Subscribe to ABC Science YouTube 👉 https://ab.co/2YFO4Go

Lifeforms are the most complex form of matter we know. Beginning in the micro, this episode looks at a single celled life form that was filmed over a month. It captures the life form using energy to replicate, grow, and explore its environment. We then move into a timelapse of a frog egg growing into a tadpole, then undergoing metamorphosis into a frog which was filmed over 2 months. The same forces driving the evolution of the single celled organism also drive the tadpole, revealing how lifeforms work in both simple and complex forms. The episode, as the end of the series, hints at the interconnectedness of all phenomena explored throughout the series, and frames life as a rare and spectacular manifestation of the universe working in harmony with all natural forces.

Phenomena fuses art and science together to explore naturally occurring patterns, and the fundamental forces of nature that create them, to take us on an ambitious, innovative, and psychedelic journey through the fabric of the universe. Filmmaker Josef Gatti recreates nine ‘phenomena’ to produce mesmerizing art films, which are then paired with an original music score by Kim Moyes from Australian dance music duo The Presets. #PhenomenaTV
