- www.ted.com Oceanographer John Delaney is leading the team that is building an underwater network of high-def cameras and sensors that will turn our ocean into a global interactive lab -- sparking an explosion of rich data about the world below.
TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Featured speakers have included Al Gore on climate change, Philippe Starck on design, Jill Bolte Taylor on observing her own stroke, Nicholas Negroponte on One Laptop per Child, Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, Bill Gates on malaria and mosquitoes, Pattie Maes on the "Sixth Sense" wearable tech, and "Lost" producer JJ Abrams on the allure of mystery. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and TEDTalks cover these topics as well as science, business, development and the arts. Closed captions and translated subtitles in a variety of languages are now available on TED.com, at www.ted.com/tra.... Watch a highlight reel of the Top 10 TEDTalks at www.ted.com/ind...
It's reassuring that people are working on these things. I definitely see the need for underwater infrastructure for power and data transfer.
OH BOY! I can't wait to watch live ocean floor footage.
Wow... the biomass under the sea floor sounds very interesting!
I just love Ted... it makes me long after tomorrow so much!
If oceans are central to the quality of life on Earth, then BP just knocked the quality down a few notches.
Amazing Amazing Effort!!! Hope this dream comes true soon as a boon for the Ecological sciences!!!!
about time we find out whats down there!
Great talk, even if I'm not convinced the project can reach it's full potential. If we're going to abandon manned space exploration, let's at least sink some effort into exploring and researching our oceans.
@HigherPlanes
But not for long. The ocean is pretty resilient. Note: That glacier in Greenland just last week calved enough fresh water to keep the US going for days. Was it in response to that oil slick? Who knows?
@HigherPlanes its not BP its us. Please, us. Humans. BP is just doing its job
@smkymcnugget420 I guess the experts are confused when they say the oil has been "reabsorbed into the environment." That could be inaccurate but I think mother nature has a way of dealing with things like this since oil seeps into the ocean all the time, of coarse not of this magnitude.
@HigherPlanes have you seen the spill recently? It's almost all gone
an entire lecture about technological triumph and the f**king iphone gets the applause, WTF.
Why is it that half of all important pictures in TEDTalks are scrambled? I can see the whole vid, but not all pics???
We're introducing light into places where there isn't any in order for us to "see" what's going on.
he looks like so many different actors i don't know where to start.
great video
@123backinyerface You know the reason why BP cut corners is because of OUR materialistic attitudes. If we didn't demand it as much as we do at the price we do, we wouldn't need to use offshore drilling.
I want a high res of that slide with all the processes!!! Where can I find it? the one at 5:05
@Kargoneth To be accurate, our 'industrial' efforts are often the cause of damage to ecosystems. But rarely are our 'research' efforts. I'm in favour of careful research activity in the oceans; I'm afraid this will instead lead to major industrial exploitation of resources at the ocean bottom.
Why is it that on every Ocean related talk on TED the video is filled with serious codec issues? Ive noticed this for at least 6 months.
Google streetview in the sea?
@RoZZ92 yeah exactly how i feel. good you said that
John, here is where you will upset the Molocks greatly.

ITS THE KILL COMMAND
@Th3Wab3 I can separate the two, yes. One, "research", is the result of curiosity and educational exploration - to know ourselves and our surroundings. The other, "major industrial exploitation", is the result of careless and profit-driven capitalization of our surroundings.
@DavidSabine can u separate the two industrial motives and research... research is funder by industry for industry...
@teapot55 What Hayward was doing is completely irrelevant. You can't possibly have one man oversee 20,000 employees. As much as it is his job to oversee the whole company, you can't fire a guy for that. It has nothing to even do with the cars we drive either. We use electronics, have dry homes, eat chips, all of which is from BP plastics. Though, yeah, they didn't take care of the accident well.
@Kargoneth You're right. Well-intentioned people can cause great harm. But I DO know how to fix it: there are too many people requiring too many resources.
Curbing the population growth and the gradual shift towards 1st-world lifestyles is the only way to resolve this. I'm in favour of taking drastic measures (by means of 'education' and governmental 'regulation') to severely reduce our world's population by 30% within the next hundred years. I don't mean mass killings. I mean birth control.
@Higher Planes .
The "blow out preventer" is made by "Cameron International", a company based in Houston, Texas!!!.
American engineering is responsible!, look it up!!.
@neobattle2 My thought too. It must be.
awesome
omg i just realised! wisdom is to wizards as drink is to drunkards and spain is to spaniards.
With so much wiring, wouldn't that affect sea life??
despite the horrible track record humans have I'm still slightly optimistic that this will cause more benefits than harm....
=OoO=
From that Right Wing CNBC:-
"If the Gulf of Mexico - the 7th largest body of water in the world, containing approximately 660 quadrillion gallons of water (that's 660 with 15 zeros) - was represented by Cowboys Stadium in Dallas - the largest domed stadium in the world - how would the spill stack up?"
"In this example, the amount of oil spilled - if the Gulf of Mexico was the size of Cowboys Stadium - would be about the size of a 24 ounce can of beer."
How about DEM "Notches"??!!
Oh an iPhone! Applause!
@hwnzero don't knock it till you try it :P and i didnt actually say anything about normal perception enhancement, infact you would enjoy the experience better with your two eyes closed! its the 3rd eye aka the pineal gland that i was referring to, ofcourse if you have been drinking fluoridated water for a long while it would be calcified. sounds like you have been consuming too many drugs in your food (additives) your real aggresive towards a neutral comment! lighten up my friend :)
@BBQPeanut
Word.
Although Hayward going yacht racing with his son during this didn't really help BP's image. Buy yeah, I agree, we're so hungry for oil n oil products what did we all expect? of course oil companies will rush to do things. I don't believe either Obama or BP took care of the accident correctly, but it was still an accident that we are all responsible for.
Meaning...... if we are to massively demand nuclear, wind, (even fusion) or whatever energy, we should learn from this mistake.
pine tree=pineal gland ;-) i recommend 5g dry magic mushrooms to open that eye up nice and wide!
it the talk about the new life forms around the vents. . how like each vent, geyser, fumerole and mudhole, all having their own bacteria . . . this where earth's biodiversity stems from? much thought needs be give to this as yet. . . is life organic ,with its origins in earth, sun merry-ly activate life's sprouting from earth on being watered by a touch of light.
So many people just got trolled
@adj789 All of it. Come on man. Have you flown over the gulf and saw with your own eyes that the spill is almost gone? Most of it is under water. But what's funny about your comment is that even when the oil is visibly gone, it's impact on the environment will last for decades. Some animals might go extinct because of it, and coral reef that has been forming for 1000's of years will be wiped out completely when all said and done. The damage hasn't even begun yet.
@HigherPlanes which part was funny?
I don't like the sound of this.
With all those equipments, noises, lights etc. going under the deep ocean, it's going to disturb its wild life a lot more.
@123backinyerface
zero tolerance doesn't exist in nature.
this guy's manner of talking is quite similar to Captain Vegetable.
watch?v=KmjLqddPqZQ
@capaneo try at ted.com
@adj789 Don't make me laugh.
what is this? i don't even....
So, he wants to fill the ocean with small TV stations full of metal and plastic parts so people can see the ocean and learn more about it? I dont like the idea of disrupting on a semi-permanent way the ocean life. I got the point but I think the implementation is poor.
@THISNAMEOWNS me on a TedTalk? Ha ha, the world will never be the same. . not, that its ever been that. They'd better hurry cause this officially illiterate grannie, won't be long for life. . educate kids by drawing their brilliance out of them the way a mother brings out a baby's smile? in tween time, playfully yours, pARTicularly with ENGlish
He needs work on his story telling skills.
yawn
