00:00Dianococcus radiodurans survives atomic blasts that instantly shred human cells into microscopic dust.
00:07Gamma rays completely shatter its genetic code into hundreds of disconnected floating DNA fragments.
00:13Common sense dictates this total destruction is permanent death, but the organism refuses to stay broken.
00:20Special ring-shaped protein structures snap every single floating piece back together like a living puzzle.
00:26Within hours, the organism wakes up fully repaired because Dianococcus radiodurans survives atomic blasts.
