Fun fact: Pliny the Elder from the paleo-pharmacology section is the -same guy- uncle of the guy (Pliny the Younger) who documented the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius
Yeah he was a big deal back when he was alive, a real kind of erudite that documented everything that was known during his times (even if we laugh at most of that stuff now) and he even invented the books indexes.
As a Pole, I partially agree. It sounded great for someone who doesn't seem to have been learning Polish from a young age. It still hurts a little, but that's being a native speaker for you.
Im really thankful that your are digging through this iceberg for all of us!!! Also: your pronounciation of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz was actually spot-on- pretty impressive ;)
My mistake. What I should've said was that the creator of the iceberg was specifically referencing the paper that I mentioned in the video, rather than it was the origins of the idea.
Diego, I can only speak for myself, but I've actually really enjoyed the release schedule so far. It makes each entry feel like a special event. If the series takes a long time to finish, that only reflects the enormity of this iceberg and of paleontology in general. Keep up the fantastic work and know that there are people who appreciate you taking the time you need.
If you are interested in actually learning new things, then I would suggest a different series of videos. This guy constantly says things that are just plain wrong. For example, in this video he says that Archaeology is the study of Noah's Ark and the search for evidence that it really happened. I hope you know how incorrect and ridiculous that is.
@@daemonthorn5888 I didn't catch that claim in particular (sometimes I watch these videos as I'm doing chores), but I'm well aware that archaeology is not equivalent to Christian apologetics. Anything on RUclips is entertainment at the end of the day, and I take claims (particularly scientific claims) made by RUclipsrs with a healthy grain of salt. That being said, I agree that RUclipsrs should be more careful with the accuracy of the claims that they make-it's a two-way street for sure.
I will add that given the context of the title card for the section in question, it appears that Diego was referring to "Arkeology," not archaeology. I'd lay the blame for the confusion at the feet of Biblical literalists trying to give their field a name that sounds just like another, more scientifically reputable field.
Great job!!! I’ll add that, in the case of Ouranosaurus, their neural “hump”/“sail” really isn’t anything like that of a bison, which I believe you already mentioned. It’s far smoother, and really wouldn’t offer any good support for fat stores, which are usually located in the tail and chest regions in reptiles. Plus, as far as fat storage goes, camel humps are actually situated away from their neural “sail”, funny enough.
Yeah, shark teeth (Megalodon specifically) were linked to snakes being turned into stone. Its weird, but, that's what it was like. Another term for them was 'Glossopetrae' (boy i wonder what megaldon related video I saw semi-recently)
Came for intellectually stimulating conspiracy theories and understandable misunderstandings and was immediately struck with the this intense remembrance of the Dinosaur Adventure video. Now I'm gonna be walking around going "Yee" in a weird voice all day, thanks.

Didn't expect the Noosphere in this video, but i knew where it was heading when you started talking about it XD was literally the script for Shadow of Chernobyl.
The Fringe hypothesis you were talking about where Evolution occurs in leaps instead of gradualism There's an actual more scientifically credible version of that hypothesis called punctuated equilibrium and is a viable option to go along with the overall gradualism of evolution that there are periods of so-called punctuated equilibrium where the equilibrium gets punctuated by a leap of rapid speciation. Rapid speciation also happens after major Extinction events as animals rapidly diverged to fill niches left open by the mass extinction event
Fun fact, the Pathfinder and Starfinder RPG world has a planet based entirely on old pop culture Venus, full of jungles, dinosaur-like aliens, and 'hot alien humanoids'.
The "paleoviruses dethawing" is real though. There have been at least one instance of the bubonic plague re-emerging from thawed corpses, and thawed bacteria from even farther back being cultured. While the idea that it will cause a pandemic is pretty extreme, this isn't a fringe theory that they can be thawed out and survive, it's a fact.
I remember reading a wonderful short story called "The Great Dying" where a paleontologist scratches his hand on a Deinonychus claw, thereby contracting and spreading the virus that killed off the dinosaurs and now will kill off humanity.
To be fair, the bubonic plague never went away. A few hundred people catch it every year across the world. The reason it doesn't spread or get much attention is because antibiotics are very effective at treating it
Fossil pharmacology is also found in China where fossils were thought to be dragon bones and, just like the others, ground up and ingested for medicine
On the topic of fossil medicine and speaking from experience, I personally ground up a small sample of dinosaur bone into a smoothie to absorb its dinosaur powers, and I can confirm that I can now lift many of tons of weight and bring down rhinoceroses with my teeth. Fear me.
Your pronunciation of Stanisław Lem's name was quite good. I'm so happy that Necroevolution Theory was on the list. I still highly recommend reading Invincible if you ever get the chance. Plus, at the end of last year, a computer game was released (a cross between a "point and click" game and a "walking simulator") set on the same planet but not an exact adaptation of the book.

Raptor 1: this water tastes weird. raptor 2: The T Rex parents were getting it on earlier. That ain't water. It's Jizz water. Raptor 1: And you were gonna let me keep drinking it? *Raptor 2 laughs as Raptor 1 dies of a dino jizz overdose*
Is saltation (12:03) the same as Punctuated Equilibrium? My understanding is that P.E. is pretty well regarded in Paleo circles, but I may be wrong. Thanks
Ah, Spinosaurus. Continuing the tradition of confusing the hell of scientists to this day. I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that Spinosaurus could fly
I would point out that the nature of Venus had been worked quiet well ahead of the Venera landers. Mariner 2 was able to get a handle on the planet temperatures and basically ruled out complex life then and there.
I find the aquatic ape theory fascinating. It is one of the many things as to why I entered the study of anthropology in college and I hope to do more research on the subject to hopefully formulate a more convincing hypothesis.
I only know of it because I watched a video about scummy documentariesn and there was a documentary that suggested mairmaids where real and were descended from aquatic apes^^
@@nakedlauging I think the idea as far as combining science and religion would go is to wonder hypothetically how long it would take for that much water to receed.
@@The_Practical_Daydreamer That’s how you might interpret it to avoid contradiction, but it isn’t actually stated that way in the text. At Genesis 7:14 it says “And the flood was forty days upon the earth.” and at 7:24 it says “And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred fifty days”. It’s almost the same sentence, just with the numbers swapped. No attempt is made to distinguish the 40-day-period from the 150-one, the wording in both seems to refer to the flooding event in general.
@@manospondylus Hello ive got my Bible with me (ESV) translation, and in Genesis 8:3 it says "and the waters receded from the earth continually. At the end of 150 days the waters had abated". Im not a Theologian, but it seemed Noah waited for a long time in the Ark, because later it states that on the tenth month and tenth day the Ark landed on some mountains after the water receded. And then Noah waited 40 more days before opening his window on the Ark.
Pliny the Elder (so called because Pliny the Younger, his nephew, was also a well-known figure in Roman history) was a famous Roman historian, proto-scientist, and friend of the Emperor Vespasian. He is famed for his magnum opus, _Historia Naturalis,_ or "Natural History", an encyclopedic collection of "science" (more natural philosophy, the precursor to modern science) which was used all the way into the medieval period as a guide to the natural world-- though it was a mixed bag of useful knowledge and what we would call pseudoscience today. Btw, just to help out, his name is pronounced Plinn-knee the Elder, the first syllable rhymes with "shin" or "skin". Cheers 🙂
Re: Tektites: The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs went miles into the Earth, and there was an equal and opposite reaction-- a plume of molten rock, miles long, thrown up out of the atmosphere and into space. It rained back down to Earth as innumerable glass beads, and their collective heat raised the global temperature to about 1200F.
There was also an opposite reaction on the other side of the Earth. The seismic shockwave that ran out of the asteroid impact ran around the world and converged again 180 degrees away (because the Earth is a sphere) on the exact opposite side of the Earth. There is a credible scientific theory that this caused volcanism at that convergent point.
Omegapoint sounds like the plotline of the hit television series Eureka 7. Except it wasn't us, it was the people who came before us, and apparently there's a limit to how many questions that can be asked, like how the ticket machine at the DMV runs out of paper.
Ok, Pliny (Plin-ee) the Elder was actually one of the people who died in the tragedy of Pompeii (Pom-Pay) while trying to rescue people trying to escape. I don’t know too much about him, outside of the whole Pompeii situation, but I do know that his nephew, Pliny the Younger, wrote about the eruption. (That being said, from what I’ve heard, based on different topics I’ve found - not just Pompeii - he definitely seemed to be a pretty interesting guy.
About Brujatheosaurus, a new study claim that they were weighing 110 to 170 metric tons. Just for comparison, it is theorized that 100 tons is the maximum limit for a terrestrial animal, heavier than that no legs could support their weight ^^ The searchers don't have found any new material, it's basically guess work XD
Great video. I studied a bit of geology in South Africa and I learnt that Table Mountain was used by Christians as an example of flood geology. There is a layer of sandstone over granite which they say the great flood caused. It is a remarkable geological location.
@20:11ish-- You mean it still considered an hypothesis. In science theory is the highest form of knowledge. It's very different than the vernacular use of theory that means like an educated guess. Hypothesis would be a better fit for what you meant when it comes to science. In scientific jargon, a theory is an explanatory framework that _is_ supported by evidence; as well observations, laws, mathematics, and other factors. A scientific theory is "good" if it has both explanatory power and, more importantly, predictive power. In science, predictive power is key because it means that your theory or model makes accurate predictions in explaining observations. So when you're talking about science, saying "it's just a theory" or something similar, doesn't really make sense, as theories are the top tier. Theories never graduate into facts or laws, or what have you. Theories usually _contain_ facts and laws. In science, a fact is a single demonstrable proposition or observation and a law is a single observation that seems to be universally true under a given set of conditions, and can be expressed as a formula. By the way I'm not criticizing, or trying to condescend to you. I'm just trying to point this out because pseudo-scientist types, like Young Earth Creationists, and flat-earthers, love to say things like "it's just a theory", as if theory is not the highest form of knowledge in science. Imo they deliberately conflate the colloquial usage of theory with its scientific usage to misrepresent science-- science their own pet hypotheses are pseudoscience and cannot be substantiated scientifically. also, it's not well known to the public at large, but in science nothing is ever fully proven, because of the nature of science as an inductive method of gaining knowledge rather than deductive it can never be proven which only really exist and deductive logic and math which is because of definitions when you're something is true by definition which is also called analytic reasoning. In science, hypotheses and sometimes even theories can be falsified but never proven 100% true. But that doesn't mean science doesn't demonstrably get us much closer to truth than any other method humanity haas ever devised for gaining knowledge. Cheers
I find the Toba genetic bottleneck hypothesis (theory?) really interesting. The idea that the global human population might have been reduced to as little as 10,000 people, it's insane to think about. How close humanity possibly came to just... not making the cut. I think the MVP of humans is something like 4,000 individuals. We really did (possibly) escape by the skin of our teeth.
Lem's Invincible is an intriguing read. Kind of atypical of the rest of his work, although like Solaris (probably his best known work, at least in English) it looks at a very, very alien evolutionary path that may or may not be alive and intelligent in the way we usually define those terms. A lot of his writing is lighter in tone, with a real bent toward absurdist humor and parody. I particularly enjoyed the Cyberiad stories, which are a series of what I'd describe as fairy tales written by free-willed robots so far in the future that biological life is seen as semi-mythological, and certainly not the creators of machine life.
Dinosaurs on Venus and the theory of Dino Tectites reminds me of the “Dinosaurs on the Moon” theory, believing that the impact of the asteroid flung pieces of dinosaur bone and other prehistoric matter into space, some of which could have continued going and ended up landing on our moon.
Fantastic pronunciation of the authors name Stanisław Lem, for a non native speaker you couldn't have done a better job! Love the videos, can't wait for the next part.
Because there have been multiple people saying it: Arkeology and Archaeology have very similar if not the same sounding name depending on accent, but they are two different topics, what you are hearing as Archaeology is Arkeology which is the study of Noah's Ark
- Monadi (mon-ad, not mo-nad; mono, see?) were actually the Greeks' idea of the atom. An atom is, after all, a single unit of any given substance. Therefore, a monad. - Well, I can tell you one thing about dino psychology: poker night was thursdays, and Duane's not allowed to make dip anymore after Bill stank up the downstairs bathroom. Because DAYUM. - Except there kind of is a defining force that divides living and dead matter: bioelectric impulses. That little electrochemical blip of a spark that animates our tissue. That's a gross oversimplification, of course, and not a defense of vitalism by any means, but it remains a factual statement. Other things are capable of possessing a charge, but organisms are the only technically living ones, insofar as I'm aware.

Diego, I can only speak for myself, but I've actually really enjoyed the release schedule so far. It makes each entry feel like a special event. If the series takes a long time to finish, that only reflects the enormity of this iceberg and of paleontology in general. Keep up the fantastic work and know that there are people who appreciate you taking the time you need.
If you are interested in actually learning new things, then I would suggest a different series of videos. This guy constantly says things that are just plain wrong. For example, in this video he says that Archaeology is the study of Noah's Ark and the search for evidence that it really happened. I hope you know how incorrect and ridiculous that is.
@@daemonthorn5888 I didn't catch that claim in particular (sometimes I watch these videos as I'm doing chores), but I'm well aware that archaeology is not equivalent to Christian apologetics. Anything on RUclips is entertainment at the end of the day, and I take claims (particularly scientific claims) made by RUclipsrs with a healthy grain of salt. That being said, I agree that RUclipsrs should be more careful with the accuracy of the claims that they make-it's a two-way street for sure.
I will add that given the context of the title card for the section in question, it appears that Diego was referring to "Arkeology," not archaeology. I'd lay the blame for the confusion at the feet of Biblical literalists trying to give their field a name that sounds just like another, more scientifically reputable field.
@@daemonthorn5888 imagine trying to mock someone while being clearly wrong. You really should pay a bit of attention before you try to roast someone.
Great job!!! I’ll add that, in the case of Ouranosaurus, their neural “hump”/“sail” really isn’t anything like that of a bison, which I believe you already mentioned. It’s far smoother, and really wouldn’t offer any good support for fat stores, which are usually located in the tail and chest regions in reptiles. Plus, as far as fat storage goes, camel humps are actually situated away from their neural “sail”, funny enough.
Wait, ammonite fossils were called goblin nails and shark teeth snake tongues? Shouldn't it be the other way around?
Yea he def fubbled
The root of the shark tooth is the fork of the snake tongue. Ammonites on the other hand look nothing like snake tongues.
Yeah, shark teeth (Megalodon specifically) were linked to snakes being turned into stone. Its weird, but, that's what it was like. Another term for them was 'Glossopetrae'
(boy i wonder what megaldon related video I saw semi-recently)
No he has it the right way. Fossilized shark teeth sometimes have a strongly forked root, which makes them look a bit like a snake tongue.
Yeah once again he is wrong, ammonites were believed to be petrified coiled snakes.
Came for intellectually stimulating conspiracy theories and understandable misunderstandings and was immediately struck with the this intense remembrance of the Dinosaur Adventure video.
Now I'm gonna be walking around going "Yee" in a weird voice all day, thanks.
This is the greatest series on RUclips right now, keep it up!
I’ve seen some art for humped Spinosaurus and I love how it basically makes it looks just a few steps removed from a damn Deviljho.
I remember the dinosaur s3x lakes memes and how the memes were everywhere. Someone even made a game called “Lemme Splash”
No one needs to make another video game ever again, because no one will ever top the masterpiece that is "Lemme Splash"
@@DinoDiego16 A true masterpiece
This is one of my favorite YT series at the moment. Great work, and thanks for doing this.

Arkeology. Not archeology
Didn't expect the Noosphere in this video, but i knew where it was heading when you started talking about it XD was literally the script for Shadow of Chernobyl.
Let's goooo, I forgot how much I needed this. Thanks Diego!
The Fringe hypothesis you were talking about where Evolution occurs in leaps instead of gradualism There's an actual more scientifically credible version of that hypothesis called punctuated equilibrium and is a viable option to go along with the overall gradualism of evolution that there are periods of so-called punctuated equilibrium where the equilibrium gets punctuated by a leap of rapid speciation. Rapid speciation also happens after major Extinction events as animals rapidly diverged to fill niches left open by the mass extinction event
Hideaki Anno: can i copy your homework?
Chardin: yeah just change it up a bit so it isn’t obvious
There was some crazy theories on here. This is only Tier 2 at that.
Ikr. Wait till you see whats in tier 3
Fun fact, the Pathfinder and Starfinder RPG world has a planet based entirely on old pop culture Venus, full of jungles, dinosaur-like aliens, and 'hot alien humanoids'.
The "paleoviruses dethawing" is real though.
There have been at least one instance of the bubonic plague re-emerging from thawed corpses, and thawed bacteria from even farther back being cultured.
While the idea that it will cause a pandemic is pretty extreme, this isn't a fringe theory that they can be thawed out and survive, it's a fact.
I remember reading a wonderful short story called "The Great Dying" where a paleontologist scratches his hand on a Deinonychus claw, thereby contracting and spreading the virus that killed off the dinosaurs and now will kill off humanity.
To be fair, the bubonic plague never went away. A few hundred people catch it every year across the world. The reason it doesn't spread or get much attention is because antibiotics are very effective at treating it
@@Erikaaaaaaaaaaaaa Or handling armadillos
You did a great job with Leibniz and the monads explanation! 17th century metaphysics got real weird
Fossil pharmacology is also found in China where fossils were thought to be dragon bones and, just like the others, ground up and ingested for medicine
so..unicorns existed, chinese niggas just thought that shit was a dragon and ate all the evidence?
I wonder how many irreplaceable fossils were destroyed for this stupid idea.
On the topic of fossil medicine and speaking from experience, I personally ground up a small sample of dinosaur bone into a smoothie to absorb its dinosaur powers, and I can confirm that I can now lift many of tons of weight and bring down rhinoceroses with my teeth. Fear me.
Your pronunciation of Stanisław Lem's name was quite good. I'm so happy that Necroevolution Theory was on the list. I still highly recommend reading Invincible if you ever get the chance. Plus, at the end of last year, a computer game was released (a cross between a "point and click" game and a "walking simulator") set on the same planet but not an exact adaptation of the book.
Here are a few more fringe hypotheses to enjoy:
The bat-wing birds: Yi qi and Ambopteryx. Xu et al 2015 thought they were describing a bizarre theropod with membraneous wings and a completely new long bone arising from the wrist, the styliform element. Yi qi simply suffered a torsion fracture.
Ambopteryx had one longitudinallly crushed radius the authors thought was a conjoined radius + ulna. The left ulna was considered the styliform element. The right wing had no styliform element. The radius and ulna were normal in appearance.

Paul Ellenberger thought the pre-pterosaur, Cosesaurus, was a pre-bird. He flipped the manus over to make it so in his mind. He thought the prepubis was a new ilium projection. He didn’t understand the sternal complex (sternum + interclavicle + clavicle) that was just coming together in Cosesaurus.

Prothero and 15 coauthors in 2021 followed several prior authors over the decades in announcing that all whales are artidactyls (= cattle, camels, pigs, deer). The solution is to add taxa to analysis. Then the ancestry of baleen whales includes desmostylians, hippos (no longer close to deer, camels, etc) and mesonychids. The distinctly different ancestry of toothed whales includes the long-nosed, echolocating extant genus, Tenrec, just prior to pakicetids. You’ll notice immediately how much Pakicetus looks like Tenrec.

Wow, it is the legend himself! Looking forward to your reaction to your entry on the iceberg.
@@TurtleMarcus If you're talking about my entry in part 1, that's in the part 1 comments section already. I hope everybody learns from this experience that Darren Naish is not the little angel everybody thinks he is.
ain’t you the same dude who things nautiluses are highly derived urochordates
Ive been waiting for this
Dude, finally am I right
I just read the Invincible by Lem recently! It was probably one of the first stories to propose the idea of machines taking on reproductive and evolutionary processes of living beings independently of their original design.
I really like this series, and I always look forward to the next episode. Take your time and make what you love. Quality over quantity man!
Quality? He actually says in this video that Archaeology is the study of Noah's Ark.......
@@daemonthorn5888 Arkeology and Archaeology have very similar if not the same sounding name depending on accent, but they are two different topics, what you are hearing as Archaeology is Arkeology which is the study of Noah's Ark
"Hello sir, do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior Superior Monad?"
Dinosaurs mated in lakes. And they died due to the depletion of that?
Are you sure they died because they didn't want to drink the water that had Dinosaur Jizz in it.
Raptor 1: this water tastes weird.
raptor 2: The T Rex parents were getting it on earlier. That ain't water. It's Jizz water.
Raptor 1: And you were gonna let me keep drinking it?
*Raptor 2 laughs as Raptor 1 dies of a dino jizz overdose*
Love these videos, icebergs are awesome because it's a chance to go deep into a topic not just staying at surface level.
Great, a video before going to bed :0
16:37 To be honest “it‘s been said“ is not really a great form of evidence that it actually works
It's been said that I am the coolest person on the planet!
(It was said by me, just now)
some of the dry wit went under my radar. glad i rewatched this. well done dude.
Is saltation (12:03) the same as Punctuated Equilibrium? My understanding is that P.E. is pretty well regarded in Paleo circles, but I may be wrong. Thanks
Very cool I enjoyed it. If there are people that are bitching about the content that you are making then just ignore them
Hear hear
Thank you!!! So thrilled to watch this before bed. The videos are great. Never obsess over the comments. Looking forward to the rest :)
You did great on Stanislaw Lem :D
Lem was great polish sci-fi writer, almost a visionary.
You pronounced "Stanisław Lem" really well. Your polish accent sounds great 👌 Have my appreciation
Thanks man, rational people on irrational topics is the best!
Do you have a link to the walrus-spinosaur art? It's really interesting ans I'd love to see what else the artist has made
Ah, Spinosaurus. Continuing the tradition of confusing the hell of scientists to this day. I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that Spinosaurus could fly
I would point out that the nature of Venus had been worked quiet well ahead of the Venera landers. Mariner 2 was able to get a handle on the planet temperatures and basically ruled out complex life then and there.
I remember reading the invincible, one of the coolest oldschool sci-fi I've ever read. Definitely recommend it.
An archaeologist and an arkeologist meet each other... what is going to happen?
It's good to know that I wasn't the only one that realized what he said...... ugh....
The most epic battle in history, that's what!

You put so much work into these, super entertaining thank you!
I find the aquatic ape theory fascinating. It is one of the many things as to why I entered the study of anthropology in college and I hope to do more research on the subject to hopefully formulate a more convincing hypothesis.
Lol
Sea moke is real
I only know of it because I watched a video about scummy documentariesn and there was a documentary that suggested mairmaids where real and were descended from aquatic apes^^
Aquatic apes = mermaids -Discovery channel
Very close with Stanisław Lem's name pronunciation. Good job.
They used to grind up mummies from Egypt as a form of medicine, so it's not that hard to believe that they would do that with fossils.
40 days and 40 nights it rained. not sure how long it took for the waters to receed.
It took 0 seconds because it never happened.
@@nakedlauging I think the idea as far as combining science and religion would go is to wonder hypothetically how long it would take for that much water to receed.
@@doommagic And exactly where would the water go if the entire world was engulfed underwater?
8:54 The Bible actually contradicts itself here, as at different points it states the flood lasted either 40 days or 150.
Thank you for saying this.
Forty days of rain, 150 for the rain to evaporate.
Okay, 40 day of rain, and 110 to dry, equaling 150 overall.
@@The_Practical_Daydreamer That’s how you might interpret it to avoid contradiction, but it isn’t actually stated that way in the text. At Genesis 7:14 it says “And the flood was forty days upon the earth.” and at 7:24 it says “And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred fifty days”. It’s almost the same sentence, just with the numbers swapped. No attempt is made to distinguish the 40-day-period from the 150-one, the wording in both seems to refer to the flooding event in general.
@@manospondylus Hello ive got my Bible with me (ESV) translation, and in Genesis 8:3 it says "and the waters receded from the earth continually. At the end of 150 days the waters had abated". Im not a Theologian, but it seemed Noah waited for a long time in the Ark, because later it states that on the tenth month and tenth day the Ark landed on some mountains after the water receded. And then Noah waited 40 more days before opening his window on the Ark.
I found your channel through your iceberg and as someone who's always loved paleontology love your content
Does anyone know who made the paleo art at 29:33? I really like it and want to see more stuff like that
So stoked for this!!!
I've been looking forward to this
I love that I called it about Tielhard because I read the Hyperion Cantos.
At 28:18. Dethawing? Is that the same as thawing?

Amonites were also callwed Devil's claws.
Pliny the Elder (so called because Pliny the Younger, his nephew, was also a well-known figure in Roman history) was a famous Roman historian, proto-scientist, and friend of the Emperor Vespasian. He is famed for his magnum opus, _Historia Naturalis,_ or "Natural History", an encyclopedic collection of "science" (more natural philosophy, the precursor to modern science) which was used all the way into the medieval period as a guide to the natural world-- though it was a mixed bag of useful knowledge and what we would call pseudoscience today.
Btw, just to help out, his name is pronounced Plinn-knee the Elder, the first syllable rhymes with "shin" or "skin". Cheers 🙂
i love this series a lot and i'm very happy you're covering it, keep up the great work
I'm glad you enjoy it!
The playlist link in the description is wrong, I think.
Should be fixed now. Thanks for pointing that out
Omega point is basically The End of Evangelion
You got Stanisław Lem's name pretty damn correctly, good job! Myst've been someone actually Polish helping you out, my regards to them as well :)
Re: Tektites: The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs went miles into the Earth, and there was an equal and opposite reaction-- a plume of molten rock, miles long, thrown up out of the atmosphere and into space. It rained back down to Earth as innumerable glass beads, and their collective heat raised the global temperature to about 1200F.
There was also an opposite reaction on the other side of the Earth. The seismic shockwave that ran out of the asteroid impact ran around the world and converged again 180 degrees away (because the Earth is a sphere) on the exact opposite side of the Earth. There is a credible scientific theory that this caused volcanism at that convergent point.
Omegapoint sounds like the plotline of the hit television series Eureka 7. Except it wasn't us, it was the people who came before us, and apparently there's a limit to how many questions that can be asked, like how the ticket machine at the DMV runs out of paper.
Ok, Pliny (Plin-ee) the Elder was actually one of the people who died in the tragedy of Pompeii (Pom-Pay) while trying to rescue people trying to escape.
I don’t know too much about him, outside of the whole Pompeii situation, but I do know that his nephew, Pliny the Younger, wrote about the eruption.
(That being said, from what I’ve heard, based on different topics I’ve found - not just Pompeii - he definitely seemed to be a pretty interesting guy.
Awesome video! Truely interesting and educative series.
About Brujatheosaurus, a new study claim that they were weighing 110 to 170 metric tons. Just for comparison, it is theorized that 100 tons is the maximum limit for a terrestrial animal, heavier than that no legs could support their weight ^^
The searchers don't have found any new material, it's basically guess work XD
There are Silurians in the show Doctor Who. I wonder if the name came from the show, or the other way round?
Hey, finally!
I thought for a hot second that "monads" were going to be about how dinosaurs had like one big sack for a testicle
Great video. I studied a bit of geology in South Africa and I learnt that Table Mountain was used by Christians as an example of flood geology. There is a layer of sandstone over granite which they say the great flood caused. It is a remarkable geological location.
@20:11ish--
You mean it still considered an hypothesis. In science theory is the highest form of knowledge. It's very different than the vernacular use of theory that means like an educated guess. Hypothesis would be a better fit for what you meant when it comes to science.
In scientific jargon, a theory is an explanatory framework that _is_ supported by evidence; as well observations, laws, mathematics, and other factors. A scientific theory is "good" if it has both explanatory power and, more importantly, predictive power. In science, predictive power is key because it means that your theory or model makes accurate predictions in explaining observations.
So when you're talking about science, saying "it's just a theory" or something similar, doesn't really make sense, as theories are the top tier. Theories never graduate into facts or laws, or what have you. Theories usually _contain_ facts and laws.
In science, a fact is a single demonstrable proposition or observation and a law is a single observation that seems to be universally true under a given set of conditions, and can be expressed as a formula.
By the way I'm not criticizing, or trying to condescend to you. I'm just trying to point this out because pseudo-scientist types, like Young Earth Creationists, and flat-earthers, love to say things like "it's just a theory", as if theory is not the highest form of knowledge in science. Imo they deliberately conflate the colloquial usage of theory with its scientific usage to misrepresent science-- science their own pet hypotheses are pseudoscience and cannot be substantiated scientifically.
also, it's not well known to the public at large, but in science nothing is ever fully proven, because of the nature of science as an inductive method of gaining knowledge rather than deductive it can never be proven which only really exist and deductive logic and math which is because of definitions when you're something is true by definition which is also called analytic reasoning.
In science, hypotheses and sometimes even theories can be falsified but never proven 100% true. But that doesn't mean science doesn't demonstrably get us much closer to truth than any other method humanity haas ever devised for gaining knowledge. Cheers
Yes I was excited for this! 👌
Did you forget to link that video on monads in the description? I can't see it
It seems I did. Updated the description though, so it should be there now.
@@DinoDiego16 Nice, thanks!
I find the Toba genetic bottleneck hypothesis (theory?) really interesting. The idea that the global human population might have been reduced to as little as 10,000 people, it's insane to think about. How close humanity possibly came to just... not making the cut. I think the MVP of humans is something like 4,000 individuals. We really did (possibly) escape by the skin of our teeth.

Read the invincible by Lem. Great book.
Shinji! Get into the Omegapoint or Rei will have to do it again!
noo i didnt know you posted the next part to this. i was so sure i was subscribed 😭 but i wasnt. so im 2 weeks late
Yooo been waiting for this
Lem's Invincible is an intriguing read. Kind of atypical of the rest of his work, although like Solaris (probably his best known work, at least in English) it looks at a very, very alien evolutionary path that may or may not be alive and intelligent in the way we usually define those terms. A lot of his writing is lighter in tone, with a real bent toward absurdist humor and parody. I particularly enjoyed the Cyberiad stories, which are a series of what I'd describe as fairy tales written by free-willed robots so far in the future that biological life is seen as semi-mythological, and certainly not the creators of machine life.
Dinosaurs on Venus and the theory of Dino Tectites reminds me of the “Dinosaurs on the Moon” theory, believing that the impact of the asteroid flung pieces of dinosaur bone and other prehistoric matter into space, some of which could have continued going and ended up landing on our moon.
Fantastic pronunciation of the authors name Stanisław Lem, for a non native speaker you couldn't have done a better job! Love the videos, can't wait for the next part.
The self replicating AI from the invincible reminds me of the blue intelligent machine alien from Natural History of an Alien
Love the usage of Zdenek Burian's paleoart
I love these. Thanks for posting
Because there have been multiple people saying it: Arkeology and Archaeology have very similar if not the same sounding name depending on accent, but they are two different topics, what you are hearing as Archaeology is Arkeology which is the study of Noah's Ark

- Monadi (mon-ad, not mo-nad; mono, see?) were actually the Greeks' idea of the atom. An atom is, after all, a single unit of any given substance. Therefore, a monad.
- Well, I can tell you one thing about dino psychology: poker night was thursdays, and Duane's not allowed to make dip anymore after Bill stank up the downstairs bathroom. Because DAYUM.
- Except there kind of is a defining force that divides living and dead matter: bioelectric impulses. That little electrochemical blip of a spark that animates our tissue. That's a gross oversimplification, of course, and not a defense of vitalism by any means, but it remains a factual statement. Other things are capable of possessing a charge, but organisms are the only technically living ones, insofar as I'm aware.
