What If Humans Lived Underwater?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
- Hundreds of years in the future, the surface of the Earth has become unlivable. Vacating our terrestrial settlements, our species migrates into the ocean and begins a new chapter underwater. Could humans build neighborhoods and cityscapes on the ocean floor? Could our species colonize the ocean with bio-domes and giant air bubbles? If the surface of our planet can no longer sustain us, will humans ever live underwater?

Nicely stealing from Kurtzgesagt here....
@@conmadben Stealing from Kurzgesagt? They're making their own content with a very similar style. More high-quality educational content on youtube is a good thing, not something to be attacked. If you, like me, are a fan of Kurzgesagt, shouldn't you be happy that this channel exists?
@@conmadben you need education bro.
@@dragoned7685 yessir
I'm still amazed at how young this channel is and yet how amazing the quality of their content is. I'm thrilled they keep covering topics that are so interesting
100%
No videos over 1M views but all have 400k ish views very consistent
yeah the animation is SICC, very very detailed
Reminds me so much of kurzgesagt
@@streamerzone8656 Yes! They are brilliant in their video production approach. Not a straight up copy, but similar enough it kept me watching!
Please don’t underestimate how much time and effort goes into these animations. Like and sub just for that.
Appreciate u
@@Koranos 😳
This Channel Is Copying Another :(
@@hanselmartinez762 Which one?
@@LuchtLeiderNederland I think he is talking about Kurzgesagt
Having a surface level habitat with a home underneath would be the best solution. Living underwater is a challenge despite the technologies we have because of underwater pressure. Who knows. Maybe some genius will find a solution to underwater pressure.
It's not like there are no solutions. It's just that living inside a bubble that potentially has to fight off 100s of atmospheres worth of pressure to keep you alive sounds risky af, no matter the technology
@@RexGalilae To be fair, we're still looking at the stars despite how dangerous it is.
I'm assuming you're thinking of artificial floating islands. They would be a great option, albeit one that would need extensive tsunami and hurricane engineering as the high seas are notoriously rough! I'm sure we could engineer the islands and the buildings on them to withstand the waves of weather.
@@bruhtonbruhkkinson6848
I think it's mostly just PR from Elon. I'm sure nobody, Elon included, thinks we can just mass migrate to Mars
@@RexGalilae I didn't even mention Elon nor was I thinking of him, it's undeniable that within the century - we'll be at minimum, mass migrating to nearby planetary bodies and more likely beginning a dyson swarm. There's just too many reasons to move off of Earth to consider the alternative.
Great video, but the initial reasoning of why such an endeavour would be needed is flawed. Even if the atmosphere is toxic for humans on the surface , it’s much easier creating habitats that are air tight protecting you from the elements on the surface. Dealing with challenges of creating underwater colony adds so much more unnecessary complexity, such as water pressure and much more
I mean, that's cool and all. But it isn't the purpose of the video.
@@roberteischen4170 the first two minutes are about how we might need to live underwater in the future. It’s the entire premise of the video
Plus the space exploration is never about “finding a new home” . even though video production quality is spot on, script is too elementary
A fair point. When such cities are constructed, it will likely be due to research purposes, or perhaps for recreation. Sure, building such cities would be “unnecessarily complex,” but so is scaling Mount Everest (at least in the unnecessary part).
Even if earth becomes more flooded and temperature rises, ruining liveability of places, cities, maybe countries and thousands die because of it... Even then, there will be liveable places still that make the ludicrous idea of ocean colonization void.
Edit: its just clickbait is all
Doesn't the pressure come from the water itself upon the body? So, we are able to go down in a submarine and not be crushed to death (and likewise to not hallucinate). It would be the same living there.
that's what I was wondering. They were showing a home deep in space. If the habitats are airtight and pressurized normally, then we wouldn't have to worry about the bends until we go swimming...
The main key would be to not live too far down.
There's a few reasons, but one of the simpler ones is if you ever go in/out of something it's a problem. Second though is if you build something super far down, then the less pressure inside the harder it is to sustain its shape, so even small increases in pressure inside can considerably lower the weight and materials needed to make something safely operate at depth. Something fun to think about is even modern nuclear submarines, capable of going down to considerable depths, actually get deformed when they dive. If you hang a string across an open section of the ship, when on the surface so it's tought and tight, as you dive it will start to hang and sag because the submarine is being squished and crushed. It's at a level it can survive happening for the ship, but that already, without a lot of extra careful systems for managing atmospheric pressure inside the submarine on the fly, means you're air pressure is going up a bit.
Making a submarine so rigid that doesn't happen is again just prohibitively expensive in resources to build and the final weight of the vehicle.
@@rezs-tech maybe the pressure inside will be the same as the pressure outside to make the construction possible. Otherwise the enormous weight of the water would probably crush the whole thing
inside the habitats the air will be pressurized to near the ocean pressure, allowing the habitat structure stand without being crushed.
I've actually always wanted to know this. This and cities on the surface of the ocean would be awesome.
Do you know Venice
@@KennyNGA Venice isn't so much floating around on the ocean as it is just sitting in a shallow sea, but I get your point.
@@lucasharvey8990 im retarded didnt get that
Subnautica gives me a general idea of sorts, of how humans could live underwater.
Nuclear submarines can support their crews fairly independently, and Oil companies regularly build sophisticated structures on the seabed
Oh, hi John.
Oh, hi johns
Those are very expensive and I'm pretty sure they need regular restocks from ports.
@@TheBardSM probably because self-sufficient wasn't in the interest of nuclear submarine crews, designers and commissioners. Who knows, maybe there are ways to make underwater habitats self-sufficient, it's just not being discovered yet.
Using technology already available for building oil-drilling operations in places like the North Sea, it might be possible to build floating "iceberg cities" with 90 percent of their volume underwater. Building cities on the ocean bottom will probably always be impossible, though automated mining of the seabed is a virtual certainty since it's already known that chemical processes have concentrated a number of useful elements into what amounts to nuggets.
Reminds me of Kurzgesagt, but that's not a bad thing.
I love these kind of animated videos that cover theories and scientific ideas.
Really helps inform me of potential happenings in the future, and gives me something to watch in my freetime.
Glad to see Koranos for the first time today. Hope they grow to big channel so we can watch many more of these videos from them.
I thought the same thing. "Oh it seems like just the other channel. But I suppose that's a good thing in a way, more topics to cover in a similar video style"
@@thetrashking459 I mean Yeah I Guess But I Think Theyre Copying Them? If They Credit Them okay, And It's okay to take inspiration But I just see this channel is a copy, but it's ur opinion so think what you want, not to be toxic tho have a good day
@@hanselmartinez762 I see where you're coming from, I had the same thought too, but I tried to look at it in a positive light. Even if they're very similar, it doesnt seem like a blatant rip off imo
I’ve never thought of building underwater communities to escape a world wide disaster, I know there was an experiment where 15 people were put into a vacuum sealed complex to inmate what it would be like to live in an inclosed environment, but not the experiments stated in this video.
This is why I love this channel, the content and art and voicing is just phenomenal.
This is exactly the type of channel I love. I feel like I’ve watched every kurzgesagt video 10 times. Finally new, interesting topics ❤️
What a fascinating video on a topic I know next to nothing about. I've read so much about space stations, Dyson spheres, generational ships, that I know all the scifi tropes about them and the engineering challenges in building them. But underwater habitats is something I never read about, and as the end of the video highlights, this could be a more feasible way to extend humanities exploration potential...
I heard older sci-fi was about stuff like underwater, deep sea habitation and Antarctica.
Bruh this video is amazing. I’ve been following since the first video, and wow you’ve outdone yourself here with content that no one else has matched. I learned SOO much. Thank you!! I’ll be here for every video.
Loving this channel keep up the good work! love the topics.
the quality of this channel is insane!
It is right
Agreed!
4:51
Kinda being nitpicky here but why would I have to deal with bends while navigating my own home? Wouldn't the pressure inside be regulated to a uniform
Yeah its incorrect, submarines are the same so just poor effort for research.
I'm surprised by the amount you already upload in a short time frame.
You're all killing it!! Keep up the good work
Feels good to be early here. Again pereft presentation and chilling voice, so happy I found this channel! Keep up the good work and greetings from germany!
y are these videos so underated? its so amazing how well developed they are.
You are making really high quality videos for such a young and relatively small channel. Great work, keep it up!
Epic thumbnail. I literally clicked the video and then on hearing the narration started searching the description/comments for who Kurzgesagt’s new narrator was.
Smooooooth AF way to build vitality. 👏 Wishing you all the success
Okay, so I'm not crazy for being confused and thinking this was Kurzgesagt. Lmao
One of my favourite yt channel😍😍😍
You’re like kurzgesagt but more serious you’re also like the SCP channels but real life and I’m all for it.
hopefully we all work together to fix our planet that way we won’t have to worry about these tough and expensive living conditions
Fortunately we work hand in hand with a few key companies to consume all the resources of all the people to get rich a few. Fortunately we are working together to start natural and ecological disasters
@@RevnicClaudiu FR
Wehat @@RevnicClaudiu said!👆🏿
As I always say, keep this up, you're the next kurzgesact. Love your videos, have been a subscriber since you had only a 1000.
As this video has convinced me, humans do best living on the surface of the ocean.
A large amount of Styrofoam is floated so as to cover the sea inside the harbor, and a relatively lightweight building is installed there.
This will at least keep prices down in dense cities.
However, the covered sea completely blocks sunlight and completely destroys the environment for marine life.
I imagine that in this future, where we live underwater, we’re still looking towards the stars. It would slow us down for sure, but I can see the image of people funneling onto a ship, squinting at the sun and breathing whatever fresh air there is for the first time in their lives. Generations of people will have gone without seeing the surface, and the one time that they do, is the last time that they ever will
Sounds like a great movie
@@ahmedmegahed3898 yeah, how can we make this work
This channel is parallel universe kurzgesagt in a nutshell
This channel is Kurzgesagt if Kurzgesagt knew what they were good at and stuck to it, and knew to shut up about politics. Which they don't.
The narrator really makes this show...
Love it! Thanks again Koranos!
Keep it up man you will be big if you keep this video quality
Already smashed like before i even start because I know its gonna be good
Again your animation and voice is really easy to understand and gets me curious everytime you upload a video.
This youtube channel is too underated
This reminds me a lot of the Kurtzgesact videos and I love it
the question isn't if we could,
the question is why we should.
I love the artstyle and the narrator's voice! Hope this channel grows bigger in the future
By the title, I thought this video would talk about what if humans were a aquatic species from the beginning
Yeah, quite disappointing
3:58 - this is exactly what my left eye (damaged) always sees😂
great video as always👍
So now we know why the Beatles got so trippy in that Yellow Submarine…
Amazing video once again keep up the great work!!!
This channel deserves much much more views and subs
Ya know what? You got a my sub... I watch alot of this stuff so keep it up!
Keep this channel growing as fast as possible
SUBNAUTICA!!! here we go again! installing it now...
I wonder how much energy and creativity takes Koranos in creating this wonderful, epic and educative contents and yet it's for free🥺
All I can say, God to always bless you Koranos for blessing us...
Everytime I see your notified it's always a happy time for me🙏🏼
I don't like how most are obsessed with space when we have the ocean just below us
The animations, the content, the music and narrators voice makes it very believable.
I am proud to say, this is Kurzgesagt but with RTX on. I am interested and amazed how new this channel is. Im invested!
The concept is interesting but I see no future in which it would make more sense to retreat to the ocean instead of make similar enclosures on land.
WHAT AN AMAZING ANIMATION! IT PLEASES MY EYES TREMENDOUSLY!
Another upload already? Give this man more subs! Beating out Kurzgesagt in uploads lol
subnautica players: now this looks like a job for me
I remember reading a book in middle school called Deep Blue where this kinda happened. It was super cool to consider, it was the first time I'd really thought about it. Of course it was a sci fi book so it wasn't very realistic, but it got me interested in what underwater habitation might be like.
This is an underrated channel.
Dont worry, subnautica experts have been building bases for years now
You are definatelly in my top 10 best youtube channels
That was utterly amazing , once again you’ve outdone yourself. You’re going to sky rocket to the top with the amount of attention to detail you put in every video, from the smooth animation and graphics, to your air tight (punny) facts. Very well done, it’s both an honour and a blessing to see you and your channel at this stage before the millions and millions pour in!
Content keeps getting better and better. Amazing!
Yeahhh! Another one. I'm in love with these vids😍
The is the most plausible scenario but also the most improbably scenario. The most probable scenario is that the majority of the population just dies and the rich and wealthy choose to live underground due to already spent resources
the animation artwork and vivid colors are so expertly done. the commentary is also very good and so is the content of the video.
thanks for sharing.
thought this was kurgezart but man found something just as good new sub
Love the content! Very informative and you guys cover quite a wide range of interesting topics. Although I do wish you guys would throw up the metric system of measurements along with the imperial system like you guys use.
I mean the option of just building underground or building some specially designed hubitat on the surface wich can withstand the surface conditions seems much cheaper and easier
I get some huge In a nutshell vibes, AWESOME!
i love these videos keep uploading man
Just wanna leave my mark on a growing channel. Keep up the great work.
I've started watching you recently, and I'm loving the videos!
I found your channel and could say one thing
_More complex kursgesagt_
Even with the titles and small animations and everything with higher detailed art. And I love this format
Thank you for your efforts
The topic is interesting
The animation is beautiful as usual :)
Love love love this new channel!
The art in this looks amazing!
This Channel is so good!
It’s needs more subscribers
man be like an alternative to kurzgesagt
I've played subnautica before and I can tell you we can 100% live underwater
I only ask, how can I compete with channels like your, simply amazingly done!
That's far more achievable in a shorter amount of time than moving on to any other planet.
Great video!! Now its kurzgesagt turn to upload haha, u both usually upload at the same time at the month haha
Under water civilizations?!
Me, A Subnautica game player: Hold my Seaglide 😎
"This is one of those channels that are just a hidden gem waiting to be found"
Your channel is slowely growing man
Keep it up!
The voice, art and content make me think of this as an alternate Kurzgesagt.
Don’t forget the big daddies for structural maintenance
I think a "bubble" near the coastline of a major city would be a great idea. For one it is closer to the coastline so it is higher up, secondly there would be more people willing to move into said bubble, and thirdly materials can be moved into the bubble faster.
I also forgot you could get sunlight and oxygen. And you wouldent get decompression sickness if you never left the bubble :/
The biggest reason to do it is that we have yet to figure out how to make a totally contained self-sufficient environment where people can live long term. Biosphere 2 was unsuccessful and we haven’t really tried anything since. If something goes unexpectedly wrong in a space colony, earth will not be able to help. So, we have to be sure to work out the bugs down here first.
@@davidroddini1512 doesn’t NASA have a way to make breathable air? For the ISS.
@@alspawn2732 Air yes but air is not the only requirement. We need a self contained “mini world” that can exist entirely fine without any input from the outside world. Everything we have done so far has required something or other to be brought in. Biosphere 2 had a problem with the air initially, the ISS is too small to produce their own food; we have yet to prove we even understand the environment well enough to recreate it in a self contained setting.
@@davidroddini1512 We could theoreitcally create a huge biodome that had the space to grow crops, use desaltized water from the sea, and trees to absorve CO2
Amazing artwork and dialogue!!
this is quickly becoming one of my favourite channels Great Videos KEEP IT UP
Underrated channel and Prestine quality
I love your content, always a new learning experience.
Guys we need to share this channel more , it needs more subscribers the amount of knowledge we all can get...❤
If you can build cities in domes to keep out water, you could build domed cities on land that keep out toxic air, but easier & cheaper
I’m addicted to these videos
Very interesting contents keep making videos)
Keep up the good content👍🏿
first time seeing this chanel but i dont know if im the only one that thinks its very inspired in kurzgesagt. is nice to see chanels like this
Thank you for the video, I needed it for my creative work. I was designing a nation that lives underwater and this video helped to visualize it better.
Wow i thought this was Kurzgesagt for a sec! Well I guess that's the point
If you're not actually exposed directly to the water pressure, you don't experience any of the problems this video talks about regarding air pressure. It's why submarine sailors don't need to decompress. If you want to go outside the underwater dome to go swimming etc, you'd need to compress / decompress, but other than that you can build as deep as you like and as long as the atmosphere is at 1 bar, then no problems to come and go as you want...
phew i thought it was kurzgesagt video and got thrilled, thought they changed narrator, thanks god it's another channel
