Actually the air is fine at this hight, at last if you are used to it. So if the wind isn‘t a problem you should be fine to open the window, if you have warm cloths and are able to close it if you start to suffocate😂
If they have built a space elevator they would have built a system to deal with such issues. Considering that the space elevator is in itself would be a engineering marvel.
Yea, or when you’re at the top and then an alien wants to get on, so u quickly press the ‘close door’ button, and pretend it was just the elevator, bad timing. They can catch the next one.
The 10 kilometer high building would have to be hermetically sealed and supplied with oxygen because at that height there simply isn't enough oxygen in the air to sustain life.
wrong an aeroplane doesn't provide o2 to the passengers. many people climb Everest without o2 support. the problem is simply that that high the blood will evaporate from the human body.... not the lack of o2.

To be honest, the ones beyond X-Seed 4000 is most likely impossible, since they're definitely gonna require a lot of resources in man power, finance, and resources. So the most realistic one that's not really a thing yet will be X-seed, but I doubt it'll be build on Japan soil, since Japan is quite populated and mountainous, and also the fact that there is more tsunamis and earthquakes to consider.
The space elevator is plausible as well. Although it wouldn't exactly be useful right now, a similar structure would be of great use in the future. The X-Seed, even with it's high price would be a great way to counter over population. It should be able to accommodate up to 1,000,000 residents with a base only 6 kilometers wide, giving it a population density of ~73,000 people per square mile, which is nearly 3x that of NYC. Additionally, the average cost to construct a city is ~$500,000 per citizen, so with the estimated cost of $300bn-$900bn, it isn't as expensive at it seems at first glance. The Tokyo Tower of Babel, however, is just completely ridiculous. A $300tn price tag would put the cost at $10,000,000 per citizen.

@@Fermin95YT I think you are thinking of the circumference of the Earth which is actually a little over 40,000 km. The diameter is 12,756 km. Both of these statistics are from wikipedia. So that would mean a 30,000 km cable would be approximately 30,000/12,756 = 2.35... Roughly 2 1/3 times the earth's diameter as the OP stated.
Civil engineers are responsible for turning these buildings into reality. And proposals like the space elevators probably will get rejected by civil engineers because they probably know the materials they have cannot create a sturdy enough rope.
Architects design the floor layout and look while civil engineers design the structural components, like material to use, reinforcing, load paths, etc.
Now here I thought you where going to do a material analysis to see what we theoretically could build, not report on impossible structures people have designed.
I know it doesn't make much sense to build these insanely large skyscrapers, but I'd love to see one finished in my lifetime. For some reason I just love the idea of megastructures.

theoretically as high as you want, I think a more interesting question is how high will we build, because active support really does mean there are no theoretical limits even if there are practice limits.
We will be limited by the material too will we not, I mean no mountain in Earth can be taller than 10,000 m simply because no rock will be able to bear the shear stress on it?
@@arnavnarayan2105 No, active support allows you to literally build as high as you want because you are not relying on the passive strength of the material you are building it out of. like the launch loop you are relying on the metal balls moving through a parabolic arc and supporting the structure 80km up. You can theoretically take such a structure as high as you want, it's just there are practical limits because you don't want to go so high that you are in space space because you have the risk of micro meteors or space junk striking the loop. Also it would be kinda pointless building that high anyway, so it's not worth the extra effort and power to maintain such a system that is what I mean by practice limits.
@@Etheoma Have to remember we live on a ball. Further away the support from middle more the forces try to push sideways on your lower levels. So basicly most limiting factor would be earth itself. (Allso material for sure)

These types of constructions can have really harmful consequences to the social, financial, and environmental systems of the countries that are willing to take part in such projects. It looks impressive on paper but can become a real-life mega-disaster. In some places, maintaining 200-300m skyscrapers became a really tough and frustrating challenge (e.g. Ponte City tower that's in Johannesburg)
All true, but most of these are hypotheticals and were never meant to see actual construction. I mean the price tag for some of them seems woefully low, but it's fine they're just harebrained ideas by engineering firms. Usually to make whatever they actually pitch seem reasonable by comparison or gain the firm that pitched the idea some notoriety and free marketing.
I'd really want to go into the Tower of Babel. That would be an amazing experience. I've been to the Burj Khalifa and to that observation deck and it is a stunning view. But nothing would compare to the top of the Tower of Babel.
I love it that we're building taller and taller buildings, so by the time our modern civilization collapses, there are big monuments to all the excess that we enjoyed prior to the big global civilization fail. It has happened many times before, so there's no reason to think that this will never happen.
actually the "limit" of the launch loop isn't a real limit, it's just put there because space trash and micro meteors would decay quickly / burn up before hitting that altitude
This sort of safety question would be enough to keep the project from being built. Now, you'd think a government could control an area of Earth's surface (land or water) equal to a circle, whose radius is equal to the length of the cable (100mi/160km?), and keep it free of people, planes and ships, and any other construction, i.e. untouched wilderness, that can be built on for the base station. You'd be hard-pressed to find this much land. Next, someone is bound to ask that if the cable did break, the now-broken end of the cable would fling about wildly and probably cause more pieces of itself to come off. You can't guard against all of that. So all bets would be off ... the project would be too dangerous. Such pieces would be bigger than SkyLab.
Most likely a space elevator would be anchored at sea, so the result would be about 100km of cable falling into the ocean. It's worth keeping in mind that the cable itself must be tapered, with the narrow end at the bottom, so at that height you're really talking about a pretty thin cable. The part of the cable above the break would stay in orbit. It would likely take out quite a few satellites before it was brought under control, but for the most part life on the ground wouldn't be immediately at hazard.
@@bobbun9630 Even if the cable were lightweight and thinner at the point nearest to the atmosphere and the cable were tethered in the ocean, wouldn’t the cable fall at such a force that it could cause a tsunami wave once it impacted the surface of the ocean?
@@JKDC97 No. The cable has to be drastically tapered due to its length, and it's worth remembering that it would have to be built of super-strong near science fiction materials, not steel. The bottom of the cable will be as thin and light as possible so that the cable higher up can support its weight. Although you often see illustrations of space elevators depicting a thick cable at ground level, in a realistic depiction you might not be able to even see the cable from the distances suggested in such depictions. Its far more likely that the cable would float down like a piece of ribbon than that it would cause large waves--at least for a break at the height the original poster suggests.
Since the average depth of the oceans hadal zone is 6km the Tower of Babel can start in the hadal zone and still be same height as the x seed tower. About a. 1/4th of Californias or Canadas population can live there at one time. They would effectively be nations on certain parts or floors of the building due to its size.
"1/4" = one fourth or one quarter. You don't need to add 'th' to it (otherwise it becomes one fourthth). You only add 'th' to whole numbers like 5th, 8th etc.
X-seed would feel like strange and completely new habitat to live in. With compact electric vehicles, drones and even small helicopters flying inside of it. Also there would be some pretty impressive ceiling heights, open spaces for flying vehicles to leave. Routes to take up on foot, visiting different parts of the building, literally hundreds of restaurants and activities for 30 million people. Just imagine that past 2km height it gets really cold outside and the potential of it. Open cold balconies etc.
very fascinating stuff I believe a lot of it will happen eventually but I'll never see it, even if they did have a space elevator available right now there's no way I would have the balls to do that lol
In such buildings you'd need a travel agency to travel from one place of the building to another quite exotic. These projects are sheer madness in vain.
As an HVAC and plumbing installer of commercial and industrial equipment i see a huge infrastructure hurdle for water supply, sewer out, drainage for all other than sewer. Plus the extreme challenge of cooling that structure and cost.

@@mikatu yes, but they would need to buiild the foundations for a 10km high tower right at the beginning. No investor would do that because they would not be fully useful in the frist 150 years.

The sgrada Familia is not comparable, becase first it was not built for proft and second it was not that expensive, so it could be financed by donations.

To be honest, the ones beyond X-Seed 4000 is most likely impossible, since they're definitely gonna require a lot of resources in man power, finance, and resources. So the most realistic one that's not really a thing yet will be X-seed, but I doubt it'll be build on Japan soil, since Japan is quite populated and mountainous, and also the fact that there is more tsunamis and earthquakes to consider.
It'll Stand for a month..Next Month it Will be gone.
The space elevator is plausible as well. Although it wouldn't exactly be useful right now, a similar structure would be of great use in the future. The X-Seed, even with it's high price would be a great way to counter over population. It should be able to accommodate up to 1,000,000 residents with a base only 6 kilometers wide, giving it a population density of ~73,000 people per square mile, which is nearly 3x that of NYC. Additionally, the average cost to construct a city is ~$500,000 per citizen, so with the estimated cost of $300bn-$900bn, it isn't as expensive at it seems at first glance. The Tokyo Tower of Babel, however, is just completely ridiculous. A $300tn price tag would put the cost at $10,000,000 per citizen.

theoretically as high as you want, I think a more interesting question is how high will we build, because active support really does mean there are no theoretical limits even if there are practice limits.
We will be limited by the material too will we not, I mean no mountain in Earth can be taller than 10,000 m simply because no rock will be able to bear the shear stress on it?
@@arnavnarayan2105 No, active support allows you to literally build as high as you want because you are not relying on the passive strength of the material you are building it out of.
like the launch loop you are relying on the metal balls moving through a parabolic arc and supporting the structure 80km up.
You can theoretically take such a structure as high as you want, it's just there are practical limits because you don't want to go so high that you are in space space because you have the risk of micro meteors or space junk striking the loop.
Also it would be kinda pointless building that high anyway, so it's not worth the extra effort and power to maintain such a system that is what I mean by practice limits.

These types of constructions can have really harmful consequences to the social, financial, and environmental systems of the countries that are willing to take part in such projects.

All true, but most of these are hypotheticals and were never meant to see actual construction.

Usually to make whatever they actually pitch seem reasonable by comparison or gain the firm that pitched the idea some notoriety and free marketing.

Can you imagine the cable on the space elevator snapping at a point just within the Earth’s atmosphere? It would cause so much destruction 🤯
It would fling Earth into the sun!
This sort of safety question would be enough to keep the project from being built. Now, you'd think a government could control an area of Earth's surface (land or water) equal to a circle, whose radius is equal to the length of the cable (100mi/160km?), and keep it free of people, planes and ships, and any other construction, i.e. untouched wilderness, that can be built on for the base station. You'd be hard-pressed to find this much land. Next, someone is bound to ask that if the cable did break, the now-broken end of the cable would fling about wildly and probably cause more pieces of itself to come off. You can't guard against all of that. So all bets would be off ... the project would be too dangerous. Such pieces would be bigger than SkyLab.
Most likely a space elevator would be anchored at sea, so the result would be about 100km of cable falling into the ocean. It's worth keeping in mind that the cable itself must be tapered, with the narrow end at the bottom, so at that height you're really talking about a pretty thin cable. The part of the cable above the break would stay in orbit. It would likely take out quite a few satellites before it was brought under control, but for the most part life on the ground wouldn't be immediately at hazard.
@@bobbun9630 Even if the cable were lightweight and thinner at the point nearest to the atmosphere and the cable were tethered in the ocean, wouldn’t the cable fall at such a force that it could cause a tsunami wave once it impacted the surface of the ocean?
@@JKDC97 No. The cable has to be drastically tapered due to its length, and it's worth remembering that it would have to be built of super-strong near science fiction materials, not steel. The bottom of the cable will be as thin and light as possible so that the cable higher up can support its weight. Although you often see illustrations of space elevators depicting a thick cable at ground level, in a realistic depiction you might not be able to even see the cable from the distances suggested in such depictions. Its far more likely that the cable would float down like a piece of ribbon than that it would cause large waves--at least for a break at the height the original poster suggests.
Since the average depth of the oceans hadal zone is 6km the Tower of Babel can start in the hadal zone and still be same height as the x seed tower.
About a. 1/4th of Californias or Canadas population can live there at one time. They would effectively be nations on certain parts or floors of the building due to its size.
"1/4" = one fourth or one quarter. You don't need to add 'th' to it (otherwise it becomes one fourthth). You only add 'th' to whole numbers like 5th, 8th etc.
