In this video we explore the physics of protein evolution and the bacterial flagella using... Play-Doh? Yep. It sounds childish but it is surprisingly enlightening!
After watching this video you'll understand why evolution keeps generating protein complexes that are perfect, rods, rings, and tubes. These are among the easiest structure for evolution to generate at the level of protein complexes.
Is it true that flagella could have been intelligently designed? Yes, sure, but they also could have evolved through the normal, well-studied processes of protein evolution.
