    I worked as a Merchant Marine for a number of years on ocean going tugs in the pacific, and a lot those tugs had a working life of 40+ years as they were sturdily built and constantly maintained being smaller vessels.
    A lot of more modern cargo, bulk carriers, and ro-ro ships have a working life of about 25-35 years before being scrapped due to the inevitable rise in maintenance costs as the vessel ages.

    I like something that was said in the movie "The Core", where a "scientist" said it was easier to travel in space than to bore deep into the earth. This is because the heat and pressure increase so much the deeper you go. It made me think how the ocean is like that, space has a constant vacuum but the oceans have an ever increasing pressure. So maybe they were right that it is easier to travel in space than deep into the ocean. Your thoughts on intelligent life reminded me of the movie "The Abyss" where intelligent life was in the deepest part of the ocean. Another cool video young lady, you always inspire thinking.

    Just as there is little intelligent life on the top of Mount Everest - sometimes I include the people waiting in line to go to the top with their 18 sherpa's carrying oxygen and supplies, using the dead bodies as anker points - I doubt there is much intelligent & complex organisms in the deepest & unknown parts of the ocean. The conditions are just way too hard. The enormous pressure, lack of food, etc... But you never know for sure of course. But what is known, is that a lot of things that go down so deep, are extremely well preserved because of the low level of oxygen and less wild life. So that could be interesting.

    • @0saintclark0
      @0saintclark0 2 года назад +2

      There isn't much room on the top of mount Everest though. 95% of the ocean floor being unexplored means there's still more area down there we know nothing about than there is land that we do know about. As for lack of food, again there may be entire ecosystems down there that we don't know about purely because none of them can travel to the surface the same as we can't travel to the bottom. The colossal squid could be an apex predator on the ocean floor at the top of an immense food chain.
      I'd never actually given this any thought until it was raised in this video. Truly fascinating.

    • @caleidoo

      @@0saintclark0 We're talking about intelligent life, don't forget that tiny detail. 95% of the ocean floor is not as deep as the Mariana trench though, and the colossal squid lives at around 1,600-6,600 ft... and the very life-unfriendly conditions don't become less hard because there is a lot of room for it: see the emptiness of space. Lots of it, we can agree. Zero life except on some rocks, probably sitting millions of lightyears apart. You could of course argue that there is LOTS of life in space, purely in numbers, because just how huge space is and how many spots there are with potential life, but that's besides the point.
      I also believe if there was a large ecosystem with intelligent life in the deepest parts of the ocean, there would have been signs of it, because it would have evolved there for millions of years. There should be fossils or unexpected finds. So far, the deepest parts are kinda.... basic. Tiny shrimps and the occasional lone fish.
      What's more depressing is the findings telling that in the Mariana Trench, "100% of amphipods had at least one piece of synthetic material in their stomachs" .

      Consider, though, that humans (and other land animals) live in the atmosphere, and we are almost always found at the bottom of it. Even when we temporarily aren't at the bottom, we're usually still near the bottom (by comparison to the total depth of the atmosphere). Perhaps there are also creatures who've evolved to live at or near the bottom of the hydrosphere...

    I don't quite agree with the intelligent live supposition (not that it is impossible, but it is not very likely) for two primary reasons.
    1. Intelegance is an evolutionary trait born out of intense resource competition, which is far less likely to occur at those great unknown depths.
    2. Intelegance (and the brains to support it) are VERY resource intensive; they require a huge amount of resting calories to support without the plentiful resources born out of plants driven by photosynthesis, its highly unlikely at that depth they have the spare energy to support intelligent life.

    If sunlight can't reach bellow 1000 meters (3280 ft) then that should mean Lidar will be less efficient but sonar should still carry sound waves but as sound travels faster as the pressure rises the true distance will be distorted if the pressure can't be determined. Sound travels faster as the material or substrat gets more dense. For example the speed of sound through diamond is 12 thousand meters per second, whilst in air it is around 343m/s and 1500 m/s in water but as pressure rises the speed increase even more.
    Light actually travels slower as a transparent material gets denser, as a higher mass will dialate time so the information of that light will go through time slower through the heavy mass, but becasue we can't see the speed of light change because of relativity we only see a redshift of the lightspeed information until the redshift is so big the information is null. Meaning the mass of the material can gain the energy of the light into its own structure, but only until its melting point and it starts releasing all of the energy outwards as heat entropy.
    This means we can map the ocean floor but not the actual distance as accurate as we would like.
    This means we only know that there is a bottom to the ocean but not how far down or what creatures swim deep down in the deepest depths.

  • @PaulGuy

    The free diving guy wasn't actually in any danger of decompression sickness. The reason is that free divers only have the uncompressed air they start with, and while that may get compressed, it decompresses to the same volume it started at on the surface, so there's no problem.
    Also, the 95% is _accurately_ mapped. They have a fairly good idea what a lot of the sea floor looks like on a general level, but there could be seamounts we don't know about. But there probably aren't any extreme trenches we're unaware of, because those are the results of tectonic plate subduction, and we have the plates fairly well mapped out.

    The average civilian ship is designed for approximately a 30 year lifespan. US Navy vessels are also designed for a 30 year lifespan but at 20 to 25 years they go into a 2 to 4 year inport availability for a total upgrade called SLEP, Service Life Extension Program, whereby the ship is literally torn apart and upgraded with the newest tech, the structural stuff is reinforced and they come out with another 30 years of lifespan. Think about this: the B-52 bomber first flew in 1955 (i think) and it is now being flown by the grandkids of the original pilots, also these aircraft have been so upgraded they're expected to be flying for another 30 to 40 years after the current upgrades (mainly the re-egining) are finished. That means the B-52 will have had over 100 years of lifespan. Amazing considering that aircraft was designed in the 40's and early 50's with slide rules and it'll still be flying combat missions 100 years later.

    It was inspiring when I'd see a professor's eyes light up when noted the Abyss as a biome, she was confused but I could see the interest she took in it. It made me very happy.
    With that said nope, nothing too clever down there, humans have a few unique things that demanded we developed the kind of brains we have now and are continuing to develop. Things like the need to use tools and get better at using those tools, things like abandoning fur and developing sweat glands which developed along with tool usage. Most interestingly is our ability to harness outside energy for work. Unless whatever is down there skipped a few early steps and is now using geothermal or hydroelectric power nope. But if they did we'd be able to pick up on something like that fairly easily when we check the surface for heat to predict things like the weather.

    TO debate just slightly, and to possibly provide context for why the numbers don't all agree on the mapping percentage, he said "accurately" mapped. That means there's likely a lot that is "sorta mapped". Other than that I totally agree with most of what you said, even the tinfoil bits. Honestly, if WE are the only intelligent life anywhere, you can pretty much guarantee that we're in a simulation. That, or the circumstances to create life in such a way that it can evolve into sentience are RIDICULOUSLY infinitesimal.

    Yeah, but that pressure and ubsance of light is precisely what would prevent intelligent life from existing down there.

    I'm of the opinion intelligence is based on difficulty of survival and efficiency of energy absorption. The easier it is to survive and the higher the quality of food, the more likely it is for a species to develop intelligence based tactics/traits. Having to deal with super high pressures seems infeasible unless there's some clear advantage to being at that depth.

    Perspective. From the deepest known point in the ocean to the highest known point on land, Mt Everest, is about the length of Manhattan Island. The idea of intelligent life in the ocean bottom is intriguing. In some ways exploring ocean depths is as difficult as going to the Moon or to another planet. There is still much to learn about the ocean and other parts of our planet.

    Water pressure...
    For the most part regardless of what depth you go to water pressure doesn't affect your body in the crushing manner you would believe.
    The reason why objects such as submarines crush or crack under pressure is because of the fact that they are a container with an air pocket.
    For example there is no reason such pressures will prevent a scuba diver from going deeper, rather it is the gas mixture that allows your body to function at lower depths. The lower you go the less oxygen you need. Dropping at times as low as 4 to 6% depending on what you're doing. As well deep sea creatures bodies aren't made of steel preventing them from being crushed.
    Though this is not to negate the fact that even with the proper gases the human body under such depths will actually suffer from medical issues. For the life of me I can't remember what they are called now but it comes with tremors which can then turn into full-blown seizures, losing feeling in the body, and cardiac arrest... Don't quote me on that last part...

    The insane part about those men that were in that submarine Trieste is that the window cracked on the way down. They stopped and noticed it was just the outer pane of glass that cracked and continued the dive with the cracked window....
    The reason they didn't stay long was because when the sub reached the bottom it kicked up a large amount of dirt blocking their view of anything but the kicked up dirt.

    There is an international bestseller by the German author Frank Schatzing called "The Swarm". It's a good read and if you're interested in marine biology and the deep sea you might find it interesting and compelling. It engages with the idea of an intelligent species in the depths of the ocean, made of single-cell organisms which can congregate to form a single group-mind (hive-mind), in line with the complex swarm behaviors of many underwater species. Their single-cell nature allows them to withstand water pressure at even the greatest depths while remaining undiscovered and depending on only very limited nutrition and low energy consumption. Aware of the destructive nature of the human race, they had long preferred to remain in hiding, but due to the increasing destruction of their marine home they finally feel forced to engage in counterattacks to preserve their habitat. The book has some "The Core / Dan Brown" popcorn moments but is much more based on scientific research about swarm intelligence, the yet unknown vastness of the deep sea and the interconnected nature of our global ecosystem.

    Saw your reaction the other day and was impressed, so I Subbed. I have a question about this video: At around :10 when he starts hammering off the tops of mountains he's saying if you were to "shave off all the land from the tops of every continent and island in the world..." and fill in the ocean's deepest points the Earth would be covered in water two miles deep (deeper?). Is this the same as leveling every continent and spit of land above the waterline to sea level? Isn't this the same as filling in the low spots on the ocean floor so it's level? And does the rise in seawater take into account the massive amount of ice we have on land and frozen in the ground that will become liquid, further raising water levels as it melts? Also volcanic eruptions will rebuild islands and possibly more given time. Or the heat will boil off the seawater contributing to a lot more atmospheric water vapor and much deadlier hurricanes and thunderstorms in a runaway cataclysm.

    What the video doesn't tell you is that the Challenger Deep is within the Marianas Trench... which is a fissure between two tectonic plates. It is technically a valley that has the potential to run nearly to the earth's mantle.
    Much deeper than the bottom of the trench and you get into the hot gooey part of the planet and end up with a major volcano. Ouch. 😱

    The slightly annoying thing about like baiting the question of "who knows what untold horrors we'll discover at the bottom of the deepest parts of our ocean....?" is the fact that we already know essentially. Some people will even be like "ooooh Megalodon is hiding down there!", but like.... No. There is so little food down there and the pressure is so high that no animal bigger than a person could possibly live down there and at the bottom of the Challenger Deep, you could fit most of them in the palm of your hand. It's infinitely more interesting asking how these things can even survive down there at all...

    It's kind of funny how they say that only 5% of the ocean floor is accurately mapped, but yet if you switch to "terrain" view on Google Maps it shows ocean floors all around the world. I guess it's mostly approximations using sonar or something like that? Or maybe there is even less basis than that for what Google shows. After all, it seems like quite a task for ships to travel to every square mile of Earth's oceans in order to get a sonar reading of the bottom everywhere.

    • @mattroper7214

      It's upto 23.4%, and they are looking at mapping it to a high resolution. Most of the data they have collected is already out there from governments and private companies that have released their data. Also, much of the mapping is now done by unmanned vessels which makes it a lot easier. They aim to get to 100% by the end of the decade, although I think they might struggle if they have to physically map the remaining 76.6%.
