This is one of the aspects of climate change few are talking about. There are viruses and bacteria locked up in the permafrost that modern humans have no natural defence against. No developed immunity. As the permafrost thaws, those viruses will be released. This alone is reason enough to scare everyone. Continuing to burn coal, gas and oil to generate the massive amounts of electricity our 8 billion plus population demands is suicide. Everything that does not produce carbon emissions must be on the table. Especially nuclear fission. Fusion is still a pipedream, far too late to make a difference.
About that fusion story: it was achieved using a laser with 2.05 megajoules of output energy per pulse, but required about 300 megajoules of input energy. So the "net-positive" result was still very much theoretical. It would require a laser with almost perfect efficiency.
Agreed, the "light energy" arriving at the capsule was a fraction of the total energy put in to the system. IMHO it was a farcical desire for attention from the scientists in the Lawrence Livermore laboratory.
It's scientifically interesting that it was the first time where the marginal reaction was net positive, but you are completely correct. It was not some great leap forward in the quest for fusion power.
It was 'net-positive' only if you considered the energy required to maintain the pressure for the reaction to occur. If all energy consumed was taken into account it was very much a net-negative.

I still find the fusion energy "breakthrough" largely a hyped news item. It does not mention that to deliver the mentioned 2 MJ onto the target by lasers so it could produce 3 MJ of energy, over 300 MJ of energy was needed to produce the laser light. So there is still over a factor of 100 difference compared to the total process input. That does not even take into account that the energy was not reclaimed and the process itself faces serious obstacles in the process of scaling it up to a continuous energy source. To be fair, even with all the caveats mentioned above, it was still a significant step forward for fusion research into this specific technique. It was just that the way it was presented was glossing over a lot of important details. The publication was, in my eyes, more geared towards generating more funding.
I sometimes wonder if the fusion bods all worked out years ago that it's simply impossible and now just keep it up for the funding and gainful employment.
Then you don’t understand how ignition works and how big of a breakthrough this is. You may look at it as hype but for anyone with a basic understand of nuclear physics, this was impressive. You are aware that all forms of ignition result in a net energy loss when you look at all the work required to create ignition right? But I’m sure you would much rather start a fire with a match than by rubbing sticks together.

Good job. And the shrunken Earth is not smoother either. I've found an article. The roundness is barely in the limit and mountains and trenches would feel like 320 grit sandpaper. De Grease Tyson was wrong again
This is the entire makeup of matter & free energy: 1) Dark Points = (Particle / Solid Mass / Do Not Change Size) 2) Light Points = (Energy / Massless / Does Change Size) 1) When 1 Dark Point and 1 Light Point combine, they create 1 Dipole Element. 2) When 2 Dipole Elements combine, they create 1 Photon. 3) When 1,823 Photons combine, they create 1 Proton. When 1,824 Photons combine, they create 1 Neutron 4) When Protons and Neutrons combine, they create the rest of existence 1) 1 Dark Point + 1 Light Point = 1 Dipole Element. 2) 2 Dipole Elements = 1 Photon. 3) 1,823 Photons = 1 Proton & 1,824 Photons = 1 Neutron. 4) Protons + Neutrons = Everything & Everything is Light When enough Dark Points and Light Points combine, the Dark Points all congregate in the center of the protons and neutrons and the Light Points create a coating around the Dark Points so that they're no longer seen. In the stable elements, extra photons want to combine with the protons and neutrons, but are repelled into orbitals by the Light Points. Roger Spurr of Mudfossil University on RUclips has irrefutable proof of this and even convinced CERN to change out their particle detectors for CMOS detectors so they too can see this for themselves. Update: CERN has now detected what they call neutrinos (Dark Points & Light Points) for the first time ever, after having listened to Roger Spurr. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Venturis Create Free Energy: Principle 1: Dark Points cannot change size Principle 2: Light Points can change size Principle 3: When (red or blue or green, etc) photons enter into a venturi the Dark Points will be forced to return from the direction that they came from, but the Light Points will separate from the Dark Points and condense and go through the throat of the venturi. Principle 4: When Light Points pass through the throat of a venturi alone, they create what is known as electron showers and increase their energy 200x Task 1: Send (red or blue or green, etc) photons into a Venturi which has a throat smaller than the size of Dark Points. Task 2: Manufacture a device that can capture this excess energy in the pure energy zone and funnel some of it back to the light generating device and some of it toward a battery. Note 1: You need CMOS detectors to see photons. As the light gets pulled into the venturi the Light Points condense to go through the throat. The Dark Points on the other hand cannot change size and are forced backward, away from the throat. As the Points separate, called fission, excess energy is created by the Light Points. Immediately on the exit end of the venturi is a very small zone of pure massless energy of only Light Points. These Light Points will have a significantly increased energy level of 200x as compared to the energy that went into the venturi. Immediately beyond this very small zone of pure energy is when Dark Points show up to attach to the Light Points, which is fusion. We want to use the energy before the Dark Points begin attaching to the Light Points. How to Create Infinite Excess Energy: 1) Create a venturi with a throat that is smaller than the diameter of Dark Points. 2) Send (red or blue or green, etc) photons through the venturi. 3) If an absorption and siphoning device can be placed in the zone of pure massless energy, before fusion occurs, we can harness free unlimited clean energy. Route some energy back to the light generator & route some energy to a battery or whatever device you want. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Repent of your sins or suffer the consequences. Lord Jesus died in our places personally to take the death punishment that sin deserves and then resurrected by the power of God. Believe this and sincerely repent of your sins each time you sin and you will have eternal life and nothing to fear. Fail to repent and you will end up in the Lake of Fire.
Isn't it funny, I thought this said "The More Craziest Scientific Discoveries You Missed" and I was like "That's terrible English" "More Craziest Scientific Discoveries You Missed" "OH, somehow that's alright then."
To be very clear… NIF went over unity on input laser power vs output fusion energy, but is VERY far from producing more energy than it takes to create fusion energy.
About the last topic, i always felt like there was a way to create more energy than spent, but i though this would only be done using magnets manipulation but i guess this is also a thing. Tbh i'm not half wrong as magnetic field is part of the experiment.
Well fusion is not a perpetual motion machine it simply needs a large amount of energy to get started, that said though the way they did it is not scalable for commercial usage but definitely a step in the right direction and something more than just "the math checks out".
There is no way to create more energy than invested. This experiment actually should have been the final nail in the fusion coffin, but people won't have the scales lifted from their eyes. They *want* to believe, and the fusion snake-oil salesmen will exploit that fact to squeeze every penny or if investors as they possibly can.
I'm 69, at school I was taught that the Earth was not a true sphere but an oblate sphere or spheroid, slightly flatter at the poles. As Ripley asked, "Have I.Q.s dropped sharply while I was away?".
I think in regard to the Perucetus Colossus discussion, It would stand to reason that the largest ancestor was also similar to the largest modern descendant, in that it fed on either krill or plankton and was a filter feeder.
I’ll believe the fusion thing when it’s powering my house. Some part of me believes “Big Oil” is doing its best behind the scenes to hamper any real progress that may even possibly negatively affect their profits.
Fusion is just a bitch to achieve. Big Oil does not need to do anything. It’s pretty much unviable by default. The more realistic breakthrough is universal geothermal energy from boreholes made by plasma drills.
no one claims to be totally sure of the evolution of civilization its widely known to be very complex and confusing. its probably one of the most debating things ever
The problem with energy is simple. it can't be cheap or free and it has to be controllable by energy companies which is why it is unlikely ever be seen working.
My favorite recent scientific discovery is that by cleaning up the air pollution we've made climate change worse as the planet is heating up a lot faster because there's less particulate matter in the atmosphere to reflect back the sun light.
The frozen worms that came back to life when thawed out is not that amazing to me...they are much simpler life forms than humans, and they were probably frozen almost instantly in a state that is safer for them...aka they probably had a very low water content when quickly frozen which minimizes the damage to them from expanding ice and sharp crystals if that makes any sense...so being a much simpler organism, freezing quickly while mostly dehydrated and being kept at a stable temperature in a place where they were not disturbed is probably the combination that allowed them to come back relatively unharmed...if you are still reading, Thank you for your time and effort!I hope you are having a great day or night!
Yeah, I like the energy one! Makes me think of every big step of humanity from inventing bows and arrows to the first true step in modern health! At some point we only had fire to warm us or give us energy. With that new invention getting stronger dang, I can’t imagine how the people in 2123 will be living! When ya look back at 1923 I’d definitely say we’ve made so much progress 😅
I thought the earth was an oblate spheroid? I think that's what I remember it being described as. ALso, I think on the point about the fusion, I'm sure those in the know think it is a good achievement but using this technique could never be used as a power generation source, ie on industrial scale, but rather only useful in terms of a bomb or such.
Taken from the wikipedia page oblate spheroid (note the last word): "An oblate spheroid is a famous shape. It is the shape of the Earth and some other planets. It is like a sphere squashed from the top so the circumference around the poles is less than the circumference around the equator. Shapes of this type are called ellipsoids."

Never mind research into sustained reactions, where will we get the tritium from? At present there is a mere 8Kg in the whole world. Yes reactors make it but they make less than 1kg per year for the lot combined.
The frozen worm kinda makes you think a little worm could have been frozen in a flying ice cube across the universe and managed to land on a planet intact.
@philrobson7976 the presence of comets would seem to contradict that statement.. water ice is routinely found in our own solar system, and meteorites can obviously make it to surface intact.
@@maasman240 You are correct. But on further reading I found that there is a degree of sublimation as comets approach the sun and become warmer. Thanks for clarifying that.
I’ve always suspected that the planet Theia, which collided with Earth, was primarily made of ice water which would have supplied Earth with the vast amounts that we can visibly see in the oceans and now also have detected in the mantle. It looks like recent computer simulations this year might support this theory. 😅
I was thinking that this ice water may have had a twist of lemon and a straw, which explains the origins of fruit on earth, and of course the origin of plastic!
kind of fucked up that like fusion is hailed as this incredible thing when fission energy is functionally quite clean as well and could be being utilized right now but it’s not. what’s gonna be different when we have fusion? Seems just as likely we ignore that as well and keep on the coal train, baby. Fml
Be honest about the fusion reaction. It was not positive energy output. They conveniently didn't take into account the many losses from charging the capacitors to perform that experiment, and all other incidental costs (construction and transportation of the fuel, for starters). The estimates are closer to 1-2% output vs input, not 150% output as indicated.
it's true, at the same time the point was it was first case of output energy delivered was less than energy generated. FAAAAR from solution, but still significant progress in the field. It would be interesting if we got a little dive in, why this one worked while others before failed.
Did those water-in-mantle folks map convection patterns in and between those layers? If gravity holes and water entrained rocks are able to be recognized, might one guess that seismic waves could also map 3D upwelling patterns with a very very slow cycle, densities and phase being of interest to geologists for mining searches and for earthquake risk analysis?
The huge actually makes much more sense than the whale growing big. From everything that has been shown, most animals from that period have grown smaller not bigger.
I thought there was no such thing as a sabre tooth tiger? They were just Sabre tooth cats. Or have I been told a myth that is actually a myth or am I mythtaken?
No. This "water" isn't H2O at all. It's hydroxide (OH¯) bound inside the magnesium silicate mineral. This means it doesn't just contain actual water. In order to make water from it, you'd need to have it react with hydroxonium (hydronium) or H3O+, which is *very* acidic. So basically, you'd need to first turn half Earth's oceans into acid before getting the "flood waters" from that stuff. I'd argue that at this point, a flood would be the least of your problems ;)
@@totalermist fair and square. Thanks for debunk... so far. Other theories ? Be the devils advocate - or of noah and waterworld! I know we have astronomical powers beneath the surface deep below, as volcanoes do, and how the stuff gets up. How does acid effect existing fresh saltless water? Will it turn saltier and turn into sea water? Try to take up your own conditions as advocate how to convert those layers deep waters into H20 sea water. Any way how forces of nature can shape such conditions?
@@totalermist The water is indeed a relatively minor issue in magickally flooding and then deflooding a planet. Given that this part alone is impossible, let's just say that the people who insist that Atra-Hasis and Gilgamesh were copies of the totes true version that came thousands of years after they did... may not know the story as well as they think they do. Do you like your impossibly crowded planets molten? Yahweh sure does...
It works, yes, but not as well as fusion is expected to. That's merely energy production alone, and ignoring things like obtaining fuel, dealing with radiation, and disposing of waste products. Ideally, one could obtain H^1 from sea water and produce He3 and He4 for scientific and medical use (MRIs and other superconductor magnets use He isotopes for cooling). Realistically, we're more likely to see H^2 + He^3 -> H^1 + He^4 fusion fist, once we get the damn nazis off the moon (Iron Sky nazzhole reference, the rest is fully accurate)
Fusion has always been possible. We know it works, we see it happen daily. It's all just technical problems in getting it to function for us, at our direction. It's 100% a solvable problem, it just takes a lot of steps to get there.

except for several he discovered at locations he had proposed along the California and Nevada borderline. two sites in particular had caused local biologists to write multiple reports of dying tortoises by unprecedented levels and one entire species went extinct along the border of California and Nevada. now, this was one tiny tortoise not much bigger than the palm of your hand which was protected and then endangered and now extinct (possibly, the biologists' reports were just local studies). the best guesses the local biologists had were: deaths from being run over by maintenance trucks, denuding acres of land of vegetation to level it and building the mirror arrays, blocking access to areas for breeding and eating with access roads and infrastructure buildings and security fences, increased temperatures on the sites due to the highly concentrated beams of sunlight hitting the heating tower...

I have the same opinion of him that you do. I miss Carl Sagan... Maybe it's not fair to compare Tyson to him, but I can't help it.
Hate worms 🤢😅 ..... but that discovery will help us get to the stars one day.😅
Reviving a prehistoric worm seems like....a bad idea😂
This is the entire makeup of matter & free energy:
1) Dark Points = (Particle / Solid Mass / Do Not Change Size)
2) Light Points = (Energy / Massless / Does Change Size)
1) When 1 Dark Point and 1 Light Point combine, they create 1 Dipole Element.
2) When 2 Dipole Elements combine, they create 1 Photon.
3) When 1,823 Photons combine, they create 1 Proton. When 1,824 Photons combine, they create 1 Neutron
4) When Protons and Neutrons combine, they create the rest of existence
1) 1 Dark Point + 1 Light Point = 1 Dipole Element.
2) 2 Dipole Elements = 1 Photon.
3) 1,823 Photons = 1 Proton & 1,824 Photons = 1 Neutron.
4) Protons + Neutrons = Everything & Everything is Light
When enough Dark Points and Light Points combine, the Dark Points all congregate in the center of the protons and neutrons and the Light Points create a coating around the Dark Points so that they're no longer seen. In the stable elements, extra photons want to combine with the protons and neutrons, but are repelled into orbitals by the Light Points.
Roger Spurr of Mudfossil University on RUclips has irrefutable proof of this and even convinced CERN to change out their particle detectors for CMOS detectors so they too can see this for themselves. Update: CERN has now detected what they call neutrinos (Dark Points & Light Points) for the first time ever, after having listened to Roger Spurr.

Venturis Create Free Energy:
Principle 1: Dark Points cannot change size
Principle 2: Light Points can change size
Principle 3: When (red or blue or green, etc) photons enter into a venturi the Dark Points will be forced to return from the direction that they came from, but the Light Points will separate from the Dark Points and condense and go through the throat of the venturi.
Principle 4: When Light Points pass through the throat of a venturi alone, they create what is known as electron showers and increase their energy 200x
Task 1: Send (red or blue or green, etc) photons into a Venturi which has a throat smaller than the size of Dark Points.
Task 2: Manufacture a device that can capture this excess energy in the pure energy zone and funnel some of it back to the light generating device and some of it toward a battery.
Note 1: You need CMOS detectors to see photons.
As the light gets pulled into the venturi the Light Points condense to go through the throat. The Dark Points on the other hand cannot change size and are forced backward, away from the throat. As the Points separate, called fission, excess energy is created by the Light Points. Immediately on the exit end of the venturi is a very small zone of pure massless energy of only Light Points. These Light Points will have a significantly increased energy level of 200x as compared to the energy that went into the venturi. Immediately beyond this very small zone of pure energy is when Dark Points show up to attach to the Light Points, which is fusion. We want to use the energy before the Dark Points begin attaching to the Light Points.
How to Create Infinite Excess Energy:
1) Create a venturi with a throat that is smaller than the diameter of Dark Points.
2) Send (red or blue or green, etc) photons through the venturi.
3) If an absorption and siphoning device can be placed in the zone of pure massless energy, before fusion occurs, we can harness free unlimited clean energy. Route some energy back to the light generator & route some energy to a battery or whatever device you want.

Repent of your sins or suffer the consequences. Lord Jesus died in our places personally to take the death punishment that sin deserves and then resurrected by the power of God. Believe this and sincerely repent of your sins each time you sin and you will have eternal life and nothing to fear. Fail to repent and you will end up in the Lake of Fire.
you should do discoveries youve heard about but werent real.

Is that one of those fanless ion thingies?
Isn't it funny, I thought this said "The More Craziest Scientific Discoveries You Missed" and I was like "That's terrible English"
"More Craziest Scientific Discoveries You Missed" "OH, somehow that's alright then."
oblate spheroid
I'm surprised you didn't know that
Agreed. As my geographyabd astronomy courses in university stressed this.
To be very clear… NIF went over unity on input laser power vs output fusion energy, but is VERY far from producing more energy than it takes to create fusion energy.
Simon how does that discovery of water change you opinion on global floods? If at all
About the last topic, i always felt like there was a way to create more energy than spent, but i though this would only be done using magnets manipulation but i guess this is also a thing. Tbh i'm not half wrong as magnetic field is part of the experiment.
Fusion is a scam
Well fusion is not a perpetual motion machine it simply needs a large amount of energy to get started, that said though the way they did it is not scalable for commercial usage but definitely a step in the right direction and something more than just "the math checks out".
There is no way to create more energy than invested. This experiment actually should have been the final nail in the fusion coffin, but people won't have the scales lifted from their eyes. They *want* to believe, and the fusion snake-oil salesmen will exploit that fact to squeeze every penny or if investors as they possibly can.
I'm 69, at school I was taught that the Earth was not a true sphere but an oblate sphere or spheroid, slightly flatter at the poles. As Ripley asked, "Have I.Q.s dropped sharply while I was away?".
2:48 ALIENS!!!
Ancient worm sees what’s going on today
“Put me back in the fridge”
Maybe they'll find a worm that makes oil.😂😂
🤔 inthe description of Noah's flood, it talks about the depths releasing its water....its always been thought of as just poetry .. but now i wonder...
I think in regard to the Perucetus Colossus discussion, It would stand to reason that the largest ancestor was also similar to the largest modern descendant, in that it fed on either krill or plankton and was a filter feeder.
The Earth is flat. Spacetime is curved 😂
"One point twenty one gigawatts!"
I’ll believe the fusion thing when it’s powering my house. Some part of me believes “Big Oil” is doing its best behind the scenes to hamper any real progress that may even possibly negatively affect their profits.
I can't help but think that is sooo true. I live in Perth, and one of the newest towers is owned by Chevron
Fusion is just a bitch to achieve. Big Oil does not need to do anything. It’s pretty much unviable by default.
The more realistic breakthrough is universal geothermal energy from boreholes made by plasma drills.
They've invested is solar.
Both the way you're thinking and to boost profits by using renewable energy to power oil fields.
Nonsense.
If we are wrong about whale evolution, could we be wrong about civilisations evolution too?
no one claims to be totally sure of the evolution of civilization its widely known to be very complex and confusing. its probably one of the most debating things ever
3:44. That "two professors of geophysicists" is so awkward I had to mention it.
Water in the mantle. Thats insane!
The problem with energy is simple. it can't be cheap or free and it has to be controllable by energy companies which is why it is unlikely ever be seen working.
My favorite recent scientific discovery is that by cleaning up the air pollution we've made climate change worse as the planet is heating up a lot faster because there's less particulate matter in the atmosphere to reflect back the sun light.
Aaaaahahahahaha...........
The frozen worms that came back to life when thawed out is not that amazing to me...they are much simpler life forms than humans, and they were probably frozen almost instantly in a state that is safer for them...aka they probably had a very low water content when quickly frozen which minimizes the damage to them from expanding ice and sharp crystals if that makes any sense...so being a much simpler organism, freezing quickly while mostly dehydrated and being kept at a stable temperature in a place where they were not disturbed is probably the combination that allowed them to come back relatively unharmed...if you are still reading, Thank you for your time and effort!I hope you are having a great day or night!
I'm curious about the mineral ringwoodite and its possible existence on Mars as a water source for humanity
05:40 - Wowza 😮that is an eye opener
A bigger whale than a BLUE 🐋
Staggering!
Yeah, I like the energy one! Makes me think of every big step of humanity from inventing bows and arrows to the first true step in modern health! At some point we only had fire to warm us or give us energy. With that new invention getting stronger dang, I can’t imagine how the people in 2123 will be living! When ya look back at 1923 I’d definitely say we’ve made so much progress 😅
Can't wait for battery tech to move beyond lithium. It's the biggest limitation of portable tech right now.
I thought the earth was an oblate spheroid? I think that's what I remember it being described as. ALso, I think on the point about the fusion, I'm sure those in the know think it is a good achievement but using this technique could never be used as a power generation source, ie on industrial scale, but rather only useful in terms of a bomb or such.
Taken from the wikipedia page oblate spheroid (note the last word):
"An oblate spheroid is a famous shape. It is the shape of the Earth and some other planets. It is like a sphere squashed from the top so the circumference around the poles is less than the circumference around the equator. Shapes of this type are called ellipsoids."
@@AltonV Ah, thanks.
You had me at "those people are idiots."...
We are not who we are.
relative to its size, Earth is even smoother than Simon's head
I wonder what it takes to become a Professor of Geophysicists
0:43 Does anyone truly believe the Earth is flat, or are they just trolling? Even Columbus didn’t think the Earth was flat.
Donald trump and bleach.
Boris Johnson and hairdryers.
If you consider how thick people in positions of power can be, it's easy to see the problems of societal intelligence as a whole
I'm a DIY goofball. I saw a design for a self feeding generator 6 years ago by an African missionary. Talked to a few Engineer and they said it was BS. Today I saw an American patent for a similar design. I'm not waiting to build one
Never mind research into sustained reactions, where will we get the tritium from? At present there is a mere 8Kg in the whole world. Yes reactors make it but they make less than 1kg per year for the lot combined.
The frozen worm kinda makes you think a little worm could have been frozen in a flying ice cube across the universe and managed to land on a planet intact.
I’m pretty sure the ice cube would sublimate in the vacuum of space.
@philrobson7976 the presence of comets would seem to contradict that statement.. water ice is routinely found in our own solar system, and meteorites can obviously make it to surface intact.
@@maasman240 You are correct. But on further reading I found that there is a degree of sublimation as comets approach the sun and become warmer. Thanks for clarifying that.
I’ve always suspected that the planet Theia, which collided with Earth, was primarily made of ice water which would have supplied Earth with the vast amounts that we can visibly see in the oceans and now also have detected in the mantle. It looks like recent computer simulations this year might support this theory. 😅
I was thinking that this ice water may have had a twist of lemon and a straw, which explains the origins of fruit on earth, and of course the origin of plastic!
Normal people: Cool, there’s water in the Mantle.
Nestlé: 👁🫦👁
kind of fucked up that like fusion is hailed as this incredible thing when fission energy is functionally quite clean as well and could be being utilized right now but it’s not. what’s gonna be different when we have fusion? Seems just as likely we ignore that as well and keep on the coal train, baby. Fml
Be honest about the fusion reaction. It was not positive energy output. They conveniently didn't take into account the many losses from charging the capacitors to perform that experiment, and all other incidental costs (construction and transportation of the fuel, for starters). The estimates are closer to 1-2% output vs input, not 150% output as indicated.
it's true, at the same time the point was it was first case of output energy delivered was less than energy generated. FAAAAR from solution, but still significant progress in the field. It would be interesting if we got a little dive in, why this one worked while others before failed.
The following test were more efficient and produced more energy. It a step.
Did those water-in-mantle folks map convection patterns in and between those layers? If gravity holes and water entrained rocks are able to be recognized, might one guess that seismic waves could also map 3D upwelling patterns with a very very slow cycle, densities and phase being of interest to geologists for mining searches and for earthquake risk analysis?
Siberian mammoths had ring worm in their stool? Whose job was finding that out?
As many comments have already mentioned, your description of the nuclear fusion thing was not the full story. It might be good to clarify that.
The huge actually makes much more sense than the whale growing big. From everything that has been shown, most animals from that period have grown smaller not bigger.
I thought there was no such thing as a sabre tooth tiger? They were just Sabre tooth cats. Or have I been told a myth that is actually a myth or am I mythtaken?
5:40 is going to make Lindsay sad :(
6:01 girl still say that you’re not tall enough for me
If science fiction has taught me anything, destroy those worms immediately.
The earth is only slightly smoother than Simon's head.
All that subsurface water might indicate that there could be similar water deposits under Mars.
could you perhaps say that maybe the mantle is full of.......... rock and stone? ;)
So Noah and Waterworld were right - as the hydroplate theory in a sense. The whole world can be flooded in technical sense, with that amount of water.
No. This "water" isn't H2O at all. It's hydroxide (OH¯) bound inside the magnesium silicate mineral. This means it doesn't just contain actual water. In order to make water from it, you'd need to have it react with hydroxonium (hydronium) or H3O+, which is *very* acidic. So basically, you'd need to first turn half Earth's oceans into acid before getting the "flood waters" from that stuff.
I'd argue that at this point, a flood would be the least of your problems ;)
@@totalermist fair and square. Thanks for debunk... so far.
Other theories ? Be the devils advocate - or of noah and waterworld!
I know we have astronomical powers beneath the surface deep below, as volcanoes do, and how the stuff gets up.
How does acid effect existing fresh saltless water? Will it turn saltier and turn into sea water?
Try to take up your own conditions as advocate how to convert those layers deep waters into H20 sea water. Any way how forces of nature can shape such conditions?
@@totalermist The water is indeed a relatively minor issue in magickally flooding and then deflooding a planet. Given that this part alone is impossible, let's just say that the people who insist that Atra-Hasis and Gilgamesh were copies of the totes true version that came thousands of years after they did... may not know the story as well as they think they do. Do you like your impossibly crowded planets molten? Yahweh sure does...
There wouldn’t be such a scramble for fusion if we simply used a perfectly working nuclear technology fission.
Got any? Nuclear fission technology is nearly 100 years old now
It works, yes, but not as well as fusion is expected to. That's merely energy production alone, and ignoring things like obtaining fuel, dealing with radiation, and disposing of waste products. Ideally, one could obtain H^1 from sea water and produce He3 and He4 for scientific and medical use (MRIs and other superconductor magnets use He isotopes for cooling).
Realistically, we're more likely to see H^2 + He^3 -> H^1 + He^4 fusion fist, once we get the damn nazis off the moon (Iron Sky nazzhole reference, the rest is fully accurate)
"The Summer of 2023" Is that your summer or the summer at the gravity hole or the summer at the Indian Institute?
Fusion has always been possible. We know it works, we see it happen daily. It's all just technical problems in getting it to function for us, at our direction. It's 100% a solvable problem, it just takes a lot of steps to get there.
Am I the only that thinks we should launch some of those worms to Earth-like planets?
Oblate spheroid, not really an ellipsoid.
