@@guillermo7168do you think you did something cool or?? 😭 Michael literally says in the video that we can see them through Google Maps it's not rlly a secret it's just not condoned to go there because of trampling
I would be all for adding soil to its base but a board walk would just encourage more people to go and it isnt really necessary. Maybe a border fence to pretect the soil at its base and a plaque signifying that it is currently the tallest living thing on earth, it may jot always stand but the plaque where it once stood would cement its place in history.
Not to forget, it’s a tree! Something we’ve only found on earth so far. It’s not „just“ a tree. It’s a tree! Gold, diamond, whatever is eeeverywhere in the universe. But wood? Trees? Heck they exclusive to our home planet. Isn’t that beautiful?
Pretty sure there's a Sci-Fi novel about this idea. Aliens don't want our gold or our minerals, hell there are planets that literally rain diamonds. Shit like that is everywhere. But trees? Living flora which can replicate and be harvested for basically anything (furniture, architecture, heating, consumption, basically fucking everything)? Now that's value. I vividly a part in the book where the aliens marvel at someone's wooden desk, basically flexing their wealth in front of them, despite trees being so common for us and not treated with the same value. Like a rich guy treating you to a Michelin star restaurant which he goes to everyday when you couldn't for a single day even if you saved up for a decade.
America’s redwood trees are amazing! They grow so big and tall, and the wood is very hard! Many years ago, scientists transplanted redwood trees from the US to New Zealand (NZ). Because the growing conditions are so much more pristine in NZ, the redwood trees grow much, much faster, and as a result, produce much softer wood. Fascinating!
I like how you educate and tell us to to enjoy the moment and care for the world. It is interesting how you talk, the prose and enthusiasm that is restrained by a hairsbreadth.
Once you realize the second place tree(s) are pretty much the same height it loses all it's allure. Trees in general are impressive, not just the one that is slightly taller than the rest I guess it's closer than Tasmania though
Guys... I have a theory They have banned chopping down this tree so that people can't obtain Necron's Handles that easily! That's why they're so expensive and rare
if i had a nickel for every heavily restricted pentagon shaped area in the us, i'd have two nickels which is not much, but it's kinda wierd that it happened twice

People reported trees being taller than Hyperion throughout Victoria Australia. And the second tallest tree in the world is currently in a protected forest in Tasmania.
Aren’t they tho. In the early 80’s we use to go camping & hiking in amongst the redwoods, and it was wild to see just how huge they are. I have a picture of me leaning against one and I look about the size of a basket next to it. 😂

It's such a shame that we have to keep information like this a secret to protect nature from ourselves.
Understandable, you don’t wanna start any hysteria or damage. I gotta keep the big wood in my pants on the low as well.
nah its to protect nature from ignorant people that even if they are small, will effect things.

NO MORE FERN?! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! (if u don't understand watch adventure time)
I would be all for adding soil to its base but a board walk would just encourage more people to go and it isnt really necessary. Maybe a border fence to pretect the soil at its base and a plaque signifying that it is currently the tallest living thing on earth, it may jot always stand but the plaque where it once stood would cement its place in history.

Done so much restoration work in the pacific northwest. Such a blessing.
You make Science interesting. Thank you for all your work over the years. My family and I have enjoyed all your videos
Well said.

As a skyblock player I approve this tree

Looked for this comment😂

Wonder if it has the scrolls applied lol
Brobably isnt because he didnt run enought f7 and he just got carried by a tree and got a handle@@voidcaller2368
Still one of the best channels on yt
Easily
Not to forget, it’s a tree! Something we’ve only found on earth so far. It’s not „just“ a tree. It’s a tree! Gold, diamond, whatever is eeeverywhere in the universe. But wood? Trees? Heck they exclusive to our home planet. Isn’t that beautiful?
Pretty sure there's a Sci-Fi novel about this idea. Aliens don't want our gold or our minerals, hell there are planets that literally rain diamonds. Shit like that is everywhere. But trees? Living flora which can replicate and be harvested for basically anything (furniture, architecture, heating, consumption, basically fucking everything)? Now that's value. I vividly a part in the book where the aliens marvel at someone's wooden desk, basically flexing their wealth in front of them, despite trees being so common for us and not treated with the same value. Like a rich guy treating you to a Michelin star restaurant which he goes to everyday when you couldn't for a single day even if you saved up for a decade.
America’s redwood trees are amazing! They grow so big and tall, and the wood is very hard!
Many years ago, scientists transplanted redwood trees from the US to New Zealand (NZ). Because the growing conditions are so much more pristine in NZ, the redwood trees grow much, much faster, and as a result, produce much softer wood. Fascinating!
Big, tall, hard wood? No wonder why ladies love them. 😎
This is slightly misleading. All the redwoods have soft wood but its true that in some places the wood is even softer due to faster growth rates.
That escalated quickly.

Omg thank you! I had to scroll for soooo long to find a borderlands mention😂
@DoraCat-gv3ub (nothing personal)
I like how you educate and tell us to to enjoy the moment and care for the world. It is interesting how you talk, the prose and enthusiasm that is restrained by a hairsbreadth.
Damn, bro started cooking in the end...😶

It is bot, just report

I like how he showed the coordinate in one picture
Once you realize the second place tree(s) are pretty much the same height it loses all it's allure.
Trees in general are impressive, not just the one that is slightly taller than the rest
I guess it's closer than Tasmania though

Thank you for your content/knowledge.
this must be where the necron handle comes from
Yeah it is
played too much sb
I was looking for this comment 😂
Guys... I have a theory
They have banned chopping down this tree so that people can't obtain Necron's Handles that easily! That's why they're so expensive and rare
if i had a nickel for every heavily restricted pentagon shaped area in the us, i'd have two nickels which is not much, but it's kinda wierd that it happened twice
As a Skyblock player, this checks out.
Can't believe they named a tree after a sword
I wonder if the tree is scrolled or not
Finally someone noticed it too..
Thank god I wasn't the only one

The song used here is Shona by Jake Chudnow, for anyone wondering 😁

Thank you!
People reported trees being taller than Hyperion throughout Victoria Australia. And the second tallest tree in the world is currently in a protected forest in Tasmania.
Cutting down the rainforest without a second thought, but "protecting" a handful of trees on your own doorstep. Crazy
Fun fact: near the pentagon is a creek called Mcdonald Creek
I wish we would leave more things alone to grow and thrive.
Wow somehow Vsause made me feel special using science and a TREE! You are one amazing guy 😅

Lived in Norcal my whole life, redwoods are still jaw dropping every time you see them
Aren’t they tho. In the early 80’s we use to go camping & hiking in amongst the redwoods, and it was wild to see just how huge they are. I have a picture of me leaning against one and I look about the size of a basket next to it. 😂

- What's inside The Forbidden Pentagon?
- Easy, the Department of Defense.
- That's not The Forbidden Pentagon!
- Sure? Just try to walk in and tell me it's not forbidden...
Hyperion is in the central courtyard, hidden by a giant holographic cloak
I think all pentagons are restricted-access by nature. If you see a pentagon painted on the ground, walk around it.
Ain’t no way a tree sounds like a legendary gun you’d find in a shooting game💀
