Writing backwards left handed? Cody's eaten too much charcoal and has become more powerful than any living creature
That is RoboCody. Cody is directing.
or maybe he's really writing with his right hand and made a mirrored t-shirt and mirrored the footage. To fool us all.
I've tried this, its a brain thing that writing backwards with your none dominant hand is easier and neater ...you can write with both hands at once if you mirror the writing with one hand...try it, its weird
Illinois professor and most RUclipsrs :
Write normally then flip the video footage in post
Cody : **prehistoric humanoid noises** 🤣
@@YounesLayachi If the video was flipped in post, the labels on the pen and bottles would also need to have been flipped. I had considered this theory too, and noted that the 24 hour clock was correctly orientated but the glass also caused a vertical split that could act as a transition line - until - the bottles appeared behind it.
Whatever method - video trickery, or more likely a bit of practise - it's impressive.
Normal human during pandemic: I perish

I love how it goes from "Elements that plants need" to an experiment to orbital mechanics. This is how education/edutainment should be.
Education should address you interests and its hidden implications reached by intrigue and curiosity, that's why educational videos in RUclips are so popular. But unfortunately we live in a world where curiosity can only sustain those privileged high end researchers that have their careers being built from a really early age. They are the ones that can drift away from our educational systems that mainly focus in building a profession that favors production, social services and industry. For the rest of us, we can only have curiosity as a hobby :/
It's like Vsauce but more coherently packaged.
"it's what plants crave"
did he mention all the elements are rasor sharp and poison to life and radioactive and artificial intelligence is not in need of any of it and the way chosen now...DNA codes is all A.I. needs not food not water not anything humans want because humans are hjust CARGO as DNA for a world not found yet and triop there not even planned yet. But humans in space is a joke of stupidity ignorance and a LOT and a liot more vanity that harms logic and of course science goals m,ade 1000 times harder as humans push to repelace the very thing that exist to not use humans...sheesh a planet of apes sooooo full of vanuity they ignore reality for fantasies.

Good to hear you talking about minerals again buddy. Hope you're doing well. Do you have plans in place to keep robocody from being oxidized?
Definitely very thought provoking, and the presentation was also well done (though I was skeptical of your glass 'chalkboard' at first haha). Good stuff, Cody 👍🏻
Come on Cody, you are an intelligent person, how can you fall for the CO2 scam? Do a video on why CO2 and temperatures were 3 or 4 times higher during the dinosaur age than they are now?
CO2 is plant food, you just proved it in this video.
Try some projections with the latest IPCC data and you will see it is not caused by humans. Ice caps have come and gone and sea levels has risen many times in the past and we were not there with our filthy pollution, to cause it....

Cody dropping something just a little short of a PhD dissertation. He literally chased every conceivable lead of this geoengineering approach.
Besides the effect on the ocean life as we know it. It could turn out as a devastating butterfly effect.
@@817hosko the thing to realize is that we already have a devastating runaway effect going. We know if we don't do drastic things our geo engineering project will turn out horribly, so better start science the heck out of ideas to reverse that project, and actually use the best ones
Now now that's a bit far fetched. This video would be like the introduction chapter to a master thesis at best.
He really should pursue school more aggressively. I’m more than fine getting less content if I knew Cody was working towards a phd. He deserves the stability of having letters behind his name rather than always having to play the RUclips game. I’ll always be here for the videos but he’s one of the few youtubers I watch that I genuinely just want the best for.
@@dgornowicz8417 Afaik he used to study geology at I think Utah state university but dropped out near the finish. Probably because doing youtube on the side just consumed too much time.
It's weird how much you look like an adult now, I have been watching you since we were both basically kids. Love your work, you are a huge inspiration to me.
One caveat I think you left out about this potential operation is how the importation of millions of tons of dense iron mass would impact the gravitational force of Earth. I would imagine, after potentially gigatons of material were imported, that the g force could which could potentially make it more costly to launch rockets and could even shift evolution in favor of stronger skeletal structures or increase cases of scoliosis.
I do think that this idea has potential though on planets such as Mars where we could potentially farm the Kepler belt for iron and quickly terraform the planet into something habitable much quicker without investing in shipping over heavy mining equipment on the immediately.
Millions of tons added to the planet wouldn't make a difference to gravity you spanner.
The planet weighs 5 sextillion 924 quintillion kilograms (according to NASA) Edit: 1 ton = 1000 kilograms
That feeling when you look at the clock in the background and realise Cody isn't mirroring the screen...
I've never seen Cody think as hard as he had to when he drew the backwards Mg at 4:19 😂
I chuckled a little when he put the marker in his dominate hand so his other hand could display numbers. I was born left-handed and have become ambidextrous over the years, it starts to become a hassle when the two start fighting over tasks.
He could have just written the right way and flipped the footage in the edit. But that would have flipped the text on his shirt

Also, good job writing backwards, left handed with dry erase. As a fellow south paw and a teacher I have such a hard time using chalk/dry erase due to the nature of left handed writing.

@UCFjvRxL8ho2bG2T2BzMh2-Q Nah, he really did it, in previous videos he showcased writing with left hand even though he is right handed. Also, the t-shirt.

The "nature" of writing left handed is the same as of writing right handed, when backwards. He must have realized this therefore dicided to do it. Jênio

Love this guy, post anything ill watch it, well almost anything
The annoying thing about ocean iron fertilization is that the results can be absolutely tremendous if we give it a serious effort, but those effects may not last long. Some hypothesis claim that all extra carbon in the atmosphere can be sequestered in this way, and we could get back down to pre-industrial levels in a couple of decades. But, some also believe that despite such huge amounts of carbon sequestration that is acheivable, most of that carbon will eventually get back to the atmosphere over a few days, to a few thousand years, depending on where it ends up.
Then there's the idea of the effects of ocean iron fertilization on the ecosystem. It's one of the cheapest ways to sequester carbon, but a 2013 analysis showed that CSS and carbon taxes have a higher cost/benefit ratio than ocean iron fertilization. But still! The idea that we can get carbon dioxide to 300ppm within a few decades, and that we have the ability to do it by just dumping the contents of a bunch of cargo ships full of iron into the ocean is just so cool!
It is amazing and hopefully we at least give it a try. This could've been done decades ago already, but pushing past the politics and ethics of it is the hardest part and the main reason why it still haven't happened..
wouldn't bringing down the co2 concentration in that fast of time be stressful to the planet as well?
Likely no less stressful than letting carbon built up and getting hotter in that same time.
"And some people believe the bum tickler will pop out of the oceans if it senses too much iron and tickle our bums!"
@@Drakey_Fenix Yeah, the main problem is that scientists are worried about cyanobacterial blooms and them releasing a bunch of toxic chemicals. If we're going to do it at levels hardly seen on Earth since the hypothesized Azolla event 49 Mya, then tiny things like "some algal chemicals will be released" will be multiplied many-fold and become things you actually need to worry about.
I love how in depth you go and how approachable your content has always been, Thank you for being such a smart person with charisma and not some character. 🤘🏼
The throw-away fact about crabs using copper instead of iron is fascinating!
Specifically horseshoe crabs. They're famous for having blue blood that can be used to detect endotoxins. Very important in medicine.
"It may sound ambitious to move millions of tons of rock millions of miles through space"... but the alternative is reducing our consumption, so I'm sure you could get political backing.
If it can be thought of, it can have taxpayer dollars wasted on it
True especially in democratic societies were politicians are elected and thus represent the population (which wouldn't sacrifice it's selfish self-interest for a common cause, for the future generations that will start to suffer from it)
In other words, politician don't give a fuck simply because we don't.
Its gonna take hundreds of years to convince everyone to become minimalist and to give up the consumerist life style.
While it would be neat, these environmentalist-ish concepts never account for all the oil these schemes use.
Like just think about how much oil you'd have to burn to do that?
There's no way THAT be more efficient than using all that oil to mine those four super abundant elements right here IN the gravity well. This is something you might do on mars...if you had the energy. Probably need a damn reactor lol
You know, by the way, you can get an idea as to how much oil something burns simply by looking at the cost of something. Human labor only outputs maybe 2000 Kilocals. per an 8hr labor shift, while his day's wage affords him about 1,280,000 Kilcals just at the gas pump, (meaning basically anything you buy or build is almost all oil [vs labor], like 98), but more importantly, the cost of something is basically telling you how much oil you're burning to do it.
This can go for renewables too since they will rely on oil for manufacture and maintenance until we can find a cheaper source than simply putting a big straw in the ground and sucking up these potent flammables.......and then theyll rely on that new power source lol. I hope fusion power works out, because otherwise we are stuck on a plateau of energy production.

Hell yes that would be awesome.

I been saying for a while
This experiment is SUPER NEAT!! I love it.
I am not sure ocean fertilization is a good idea, to start with it may produce or increase anoxia pockets in deeper parts of the ocean, among many other unintended consequences.
Even if it is a good idea, I always thought that the best way would be to create artificial upwellings using long pipes to bring nutrient rich waters from the bottom of the ocean to the top.
Worth exploring, though, it is an extremely original idea and I admire how you are exploring ways for carbon storage and removal!
This has been explored and it is unfortunately now considered to ineffective and risky (e.g. see section 2.3.2 of the 2009 Royal Society Geoengineering Report)
@@user-xi6by2we2i You mean ocean fertilization or using meteorites?
@@aurochf1 Ocean fertilisation. Using meteorites for ocean fertilisation is just ocean fertilisation but more expensive.

Your production Is getting better! thanks for another great video.
I spent 2008 as an undergraduate research assistant at NCSU working on this(minus using meteorites) as a carbon uptake and sequestration process. The idea was dropping/spraying hematite dust over oceans from planes and ships to increase bio production. I was in WAY over my head but I spent countless hours cleaning, autoclaving and growing algae with different assortments of nutrients and iron solutions. We used cell counters in the lab to measure production.
I love that the cuts look like they were made right before a very interesting tangent. I’d like to see a tangent video with nothing but the tangents cut from various videos.
I'm not sure if he just wrote everything in mirror image or if he wrote everything normally, made a mirrored shirt and a mirrored clock and then flipped the video...
You'll notice he used his left hand the entire time. When I write with my left hand I can write mirrored of what my right hand writes quite easily.
Ha, that really messed with me to
Not that hard. I can write semi-legibly all four ways (upside down, backwards, plus two normal orientations), including cursive. All this says about me is that I found many creative ways to waste my time during my youth and beyond. Practice cubed is all that's required.

Also - I did an experiment during my sophomore year of high school to grow plants in a Martian-esque environment (It didn't really work, but it wasn't that good of an experiment either). Does this mean that the soil on Mars is sufficient for plants (Mars' environment is chemically pretty "meteorite-y")? I would be happy to revisit the experiment to try it out.
Well, the lack of oxygen in the atmosphere (and the near-total absence of an atmosphere altogether) would suggest that any trace elements in the soil would be much more likely to be in a non-oxidized, more bio-available form, but Martian soil is absolutely loaded with perchlorates, which is extremely poisonous to vertebrates. So while you might be able to grow plants in Martian soil, any produce that results would be inedible. The soil would have to be heavily and strictly processed for anything grown in it to be safe to eat.
Ironically, as poisonous as they are, the perchlorate salts in Martian soil may be responsible for retaining a great deal of the planet's residual water, providing a potential source of drinking water and rocket fuel.
Only Matt Damon can grow potatoes in Martian soil and using his own feces.
@@Zigglegarf I had read that a simple wash of water flushes perchlorates out
It's also not just the perchlorates - even if you get the major toxins out of the soil, you are left with a pile of ground rock with some necessary trace elements. Earth's soil is as much a set of basic compounds as it is an active ecosystem, and while it is by now very good at establishing itself in some pretty inhospitable environments, it does so because it has a near-endless source of "seed" organisms from the rest of the biosphere.
Cody's experiment created a pretty limited ecosystem, and even then it was sourced from a "natural" environment (the water tank might be manmade, but it's developing the standard "standing pool of water" ecosystem from exposure to the outside). Algae and the organisms that survive alongside it don't make for a great long-term environment, and a small soil sample could easily result in a few runaway organisms (especially if some, but not all, of the organisms can survive in the new soil after its first round of cleaning).
oh no a violist, everybody panic

This would mean moon dust would work as a fertiliser as the moon was formed from excatly the same materials just ground down into a finer form
Man just getting back into your vids and I'm not disappointed amazing video
Fun video to watch! I really loved the algae experiment, not so much for trying to fertilize the world's oceans as that could lead to some pretty terrifying consequences for life in our oceans but it's a nice little proof of concept for in-situ resource utilization that could be used in future manned space exploration missions(specifically bio-dome/space farming etc). That aside though it's always good to see people trying to come up with ways to make the earth a better place, keep up the great work!
Iron fertilization is fascinating, although like most carbon capture technology the accounting for the amount of carbon you actually sequester is rough at best; some large scale tests would be a good idea. Not sure that redirecting meteors would be something you could set up quickly enough even if you could get the support for it though.
I kind of disagree in that carbon dioxide probably isn't going to stop being a problem any time soon. Having a robust way to remove it from the atmosphere at massive scale would be useful in general.
An underdiscussed, imo, issue of higher CO2 levels is that CO2 affects us at relatively low levels, only a couple of times higher than present atmospheric levels. We know that these low elevated levels cause cognitive impairment, but afaik, we don't have much knowledge about the effects of prolonged exposure.
And we already reach those levels routinely in enclosed spaces, like buildings, and vehicles (yikes). The higher the baseline CO2 level is the faster we reach levels that negatively impact us, and the harder it is to ventilate those spaces sufficiently.
@@seigeengine how about wearing masks all the time?
@@pittuk6500 masks have no impact on your CO2 intake/output. There have been multiple studies done on this, and nurses have worn literally 4+ masks with a Pulse-OX on their finger, for an extended time, and not seen a change in blood O2 content. (which would indicate buildup of CO2)
Masks are safe, and in fact, safer than not being masked, unless you never change/clean it (if it's washable)
COVID infection however, does indeed massively impact your ability to exchange O2/CO2, so wear a mask, get vaccinated, and keep distancing
@@pittuk6500 Oxygen masks? Non-viable.
Whining about the masks we're all wearing for covid? Those masks do not elevate CO2 levels.
@@vaelophisnyx9873 lol.... i googled (so the results are obviously biased) this and the first research paper said in conclusions: "Although, significant increase in CO2 concentrations are noted with routinely used face-masks, the levels still remain within the NIOSH limits for short-term use"

you are possibly the most genuine youtuber ever and the content you create is amazing
This is amazing work! Keep it up Cody!
Pro tip: if you want to draw on a glass pane don't draw a flipped image, instead simply flip the video horizontally at the end.
Just make sure to have a reversed t-shirt to keep the illusion
oh that's just not cody's style...
That would be too easy for giga brain Cody.
Sounds like easy mode, Cody's all about hardcore mode
I think it's part of the entertainment value lol :P
Loved the Idiocracy reference "It's what plants crave"
I had to scroll too far for this.
I know it takes a lot of research to make such in depth video full of information and I appreciate it
Thanks for posting brother. Great content, as usual.
I'd love to know what rate that was consuming CO2 at. Maybe figure out how many of those bottles you'd need to sustain one human.
Thanks for leaving the bucket-kick in at the end... 😆😆😆
Great video! It is great to see how much science you do in your basement. Very inspiring
Man I didnt even consider the possibility you being serious about this as a viable concept until the end. Thought it was just a what if type of thing. Im glad to see theres that kind of wild ambitious thinking of what the future can hold instead of simply fearing it. Very optimistic. Also didnt know about ocean fertilization until now. Awesome concepts. Great video!
Wouldn't the burning sand particles oxidize when they go through the atmosphere making them unusable to the plants?
Oh good, I'm not the only one who immediately thought of that. I guess we could still make it work buy shipping it down to earth in a less disassembled way and then moving it to where it's needed? Although if it's prone to oxidation it'd probably oxidize in the water/air while being transported to the organisms that need it so it'd have to be combined with something that'd keep that from happening which I suppose could be done in orbit before dumping it on the planet.
Yea nvm that might actually work if it's combined in space with something to make it more stable and heating those it won't ruin those oxygen resistant compounds containing the element in a usable form.
Good question. I'm commenting for the notification
Quite likely, and the resulting aerosol particles would stay in in the atmosphere for years, so be impossible to apply to a location.
bruh cody is a freakin genius inst he. like take a moment to appreciate just how clever this man is...
This video is mind blowing, thank you Cody
Cody, I honestly haven't watched your videos in a while, but I gotta say, I really like your new look. Very smart.
You didn’t address how much meteoroid material was actually dropping to the earth right now.
15000 tons estimated every year. It is irrelevant in the scale Cody is considering. Like a minuscule error when dealing in tens of millions of tons.
