Time to start a conspiracy theory about how the lava lords are stealing our water and hiding it in crystals.
Bring in Lara Croft or Indiana Jones. Both.
...who told you about the lava lords?!?!?! ;)
I like the conspiracy theory that aglets are made from fingernails that are left over from the lizard people's meals.
I knew it.
"Ringwoodite" sounds suspiciously like kryptonite.
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.
Thanks Random YT Peer Reviewed Paper guy and qualified MD
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.
@@JoRoWi83 - A simple search shows that the OP's point is correct and was no surprise to anyone involved in or paying attention to the experiment. Also, an MD is a medical doctor, not a doctor of physics, so if you were trying to make a point about credentialism, it missed the mark.

Well, it looks like we're getting closer to being able to freeze Simon's brain and bring him back later.
We all know he was frozen and uploaded many ages ago and downloaded into several identical robot bodies in order to slowly take over all of youtube.
Would you and your team consider doing videos like this but for historical/archaeological studies discoveries?

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.
@@mikezappulla4092 The problem is scientists misleading the public. They are purposely trying to confuse people into thinking they've achieved net gain energy when they haven't. It's a growing issue overall with scientists willing to sensationalize research in pursuit of funding, mislead, even outright lie, and it's not right.
Also, the biggest issue with fusion has been containing and sustaining reactions. While using lasers to start a fusion reaction in a target is cool, I don't see how it solves main issues facing the many different fusion reactor projects/designs/ideas.
Welcome to news media.
What he and 99.9% of thinking humans knows is this was a trick for grant money....it's all BS@@mikezappulla4092
Imagine the speed at which Simon could create youtube channels with fusion energy
It's funny how the history of power is mostly getting more efficient at boiling water.
they are replacing the medium from water to CO2 I think. Happy now?
I "like" solar panels. You might reword that "Hey, those are cool". It's a rainy overcast day and I'm using a few to charge a battery. However, a large scale desert power plant is better off using mirrors and hot oil to... err... boil water.
It's almost annoying.. 🤷♂
Coffee drinkers approve of this science...
@@BaronVonQuiply one of the biggest problems with those large-scale US desert power plants using reflective solar energy... displacing wildlife and destroying plant-life. i loved the Ted Talk i watched 2 years ago by one of the earliest and loudest proponents for green energy (i forget his name right now) on his continuous efforts to increase the use of solar and wind energy production for over 30 years. he scouted and pushed and located and got funding for around 100 solar farms and 50 or so wind farms all across the Western US. all semi-profitable sites with few to little impacts on local ecosystems.
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...
so, even when folks 'go green' .... they do need to remember... nuclear is still better, because we're not building 'power plants' out in the middle of nowhere and killing off wildlife we still barely understand because the locations are so remote. the best power plants are built in already established human zones where we've already lived for a few hundreds of years or so. when the plants are closer to the people, you don't have to build brand spanking new infrastructure out in the wilderness where nothing human was out there in the first place.
Loved this! Great format :)
This gets a thumbs up 👍🏻 just because of the shot at flat earthers
Such a good show. Should have been longer.
I found this Sideproject refreshingly optimistic at a very worrying moment in history. Thank you!
Thanks for covering.
Thanks for doing an Earth Science themed episode.
Wonderful reportage! 😊😊😊
I want to see more efforts in below-surface research. Imagine what we could find!
We tend to run into the same problems we have when exploring the deep ocean, the pressure and temperature need to be overcome first unfortunately
I imagine that we will find all our lost socks .

Great video Thank you
That teansition at the start though.. trippy! And great editing
I interned at Lawrence Livermore National Lab for two summers, and let me tell you - their laser (NIF: National Ignition Faculty) is INCREDIBLE
It is indeed!
Love these
All these Scientific Discoveries are great, but can you put a Rowentree's Fruit Pastel in your mouth without chewing it???
Fusion energy. Hopefully it's future energy. Or maybe something else we haven't thought of yet.
Thank you for recognizing EPRI (Electric Power Research Institute)!
I work in the nuclear sector at EPRI and really love the work we get to do with some great minds around the world in both fission and fusion!
you should do discoveries youve heard about but werent real.
those times when the correction isnt ad loud as the original false excitement.
It stands to reason that the largest whales existed at a time when the Earth had a much higher oxygen level in the atmosphere.
You're right there. But paleontologist have been wrong before. The whale could have had very little blubber on it, as the world was wormer back then, meaning the blubber wouldn't have been needed. that would drastically reduce it's weight/size
Worms?? No, no, no, NO!!!!! I have seen this X-File!!!!!! Like Scully said “Leave it there!!!!!!!”.😳😳😳😳😳😳😳
We are not who we are
Had the same thought...
oblate spheroid
I'm surprised you didn't know that
Agreed. As my geographyabd astronomy courses in university stressed this.
They better be fascinating!, we shall see.
(Me talking in british accent)Reviving worms with water, are they totally bonkers? Bluddy hel,That's the entire plot for the Left4Dead game right there.😱
Hi. Some frogs can survive dry spells by burying themselves in mud which then dries. What's amazing about the worms is that freezing usually punctures the cell membranes because ice expands as it freezes. This is why ice floats on water. Cheers, P.R.
Ahh the high geoid over the UK means I don't really need to go on a diet 🤣🤣
Those worms better get named after Captain America
Nice one brva
Finally, some good news
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.
These frozen worms kinda give us a partial prove for life traveling on asteroides!
I don't think so. Those worms were frozen in a place where the gravity was consistent, and there was always oxygen in the atmosphere.
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.
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.
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?".
Great video - very informative and entertaining. One piece of feedback... Geoid Low cause discovered in "Summer 2023". Please don't use the seasons as a timeframe...unless you are only interested in subscribers from the northern hemisphere... ;-)
0:43 "...and that, my liege, is how we know the Earth to be banana shaped."
(Monthy Python) 😹
@11:00
Yes the output of the Fusion reaction was higher then the net Laser energy that went into it. But because the laser system itself isn't al that efficient the Gross amount of electrical energy that was used still was a factor 10 or so higher then the amount of energy the fusion reaction generated. So still a long ways to go. Not to mention the fact that this method of forcing a fusion reaction needs at least hours of time to reset to do it again.
Reviving a prehistoric worm seems like....a bad idea😂
Ancient worm sees what’s going on today
“Put me back in the fridge”
"One point twenty one gigawatts!"
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.
Simon " everybody knows the earth is round everyone else is an idiot"
"What you also might not know is its not technicaly a sphere"
Flat earthers-
"Theres hope"
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
Water in the mantle. Thats insane!
FYI: At 1:15 you showed an object that you described as a cue ball. In fact it is not. It is an object ball, the number one ball which is always yellow. Sorry if I am being pedantic. In college I majored in shooting pool and minored in playing pinball, so this is something that I know about.
Your phone is in low light mode. Turn it up to 430% to achieve the white you are looking for.
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
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.
3:44. That "two professors of geophysicists" is so awkward I had to mention it.
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.
I wonder what it takes to become a Professor of Geophysicists
"... one of these worms was not a known species but in fact something entirely new..."
Or maybe something entirely old??
relative to its size, Earth is even smoother than Simon's head
If science fiction has taught me anything, destroy those worms immediately.
New research on the basilosaur puts it lower in weight than a blue whale
Oblate spheroid, not really an ellipsoid.
The thing no one mentions about the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and their discovery achievements is that its a weapons lab, and the experiment was done not in clean energy research, but weapons tech.
Boo hoo, no one but you cares.
Am I the only that thinks we should launch some of those worms to Earth-like planets?
Is that one of those fanless ion thingies?
Hate worms 🤢😅 ..... but that discovery will help us get to the stars one day.😅
I'm curious about the mineral ringwoodite and its possible existence on Mars as a water source for humanity
The more you upload the more I learn. Do you sleep sir? 😂
they're propebly a team
The Earth is flat. Spacetime is curved 😂
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 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?
Our oceans being replenished by the mantle? Holy shit
You had me at "those people are idiots."...
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.
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."
So it's not actually WATER then, just some rocks that contains some H and O
so all we need to do is drop 100K of ringwoodite into the oceans to stop the ocean from rising? nice we should start right away
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.
Can't wait for battery tech to move beyond lithium. It's the biggest limitation of portable tech right now.
"The Summer of 2023" Is that your summer or the summer at the gravity hole or the summer at the Indian Institute?
2:48 ALIENS!!!
Simon how does that discovery of water change you opinion on global floods? If at all
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.
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)
We are not who we are.
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 😅
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!
Fusion is "easy". Getting fusion to boil water to make generators rotate is hard. lol
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.
Makes you wonder, if there is mantle transition zone water on earth, if there might still be some on Mars.
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...
6:01 girl still say that you’re not tall enough for me
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?
Correction:
The earths shape is not an ellipsoid - it is an oblate spheroid
🤔 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...
5:40 is going to make Lindsay sad :(
Maybe they'll find a worm that makes oil.😂😂
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.

Is Simon Whistler the Regis Philbin of the Internet?
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!
