Which of these towers did you like the most? 🤔👇
PNB 118!¡
Definitely the Jeddah tower, can't wait for it to be finished 😍
X-Seed 4000 for sure!
X-Seed is crazy
@ARSALAN MINTO not really
Imagine you have to buy a warm jacket in the summer just to visit a friend on the 4562 floor of the X-Seed!
Nah dog I'll be like "can you come down for a sec"
Do they not have heating at the 4562 floor? that's seems pretty dumb since they knew it would be cold up there.
Didn't think that one through very well did ya mate.
Maybe actually think first next time. just saying... saves people like me taking the piss out of a dumb comment .
@@Nick-jf7ku why are you so pressed over a joke comment? Go somewhere else 😂
@Ameen Dean even 800 is crazy, imagine the elevator awkwardness.
Hmm tall skyscrapers would be nice places for VR world servers...
30 million people housed, never having to leave,. Sounds like a luxurious prison, or a grand social experiment. Reminds me of the space ship on Wall-E.
Right, it doesnt even sound appealing.
The vast majority of ppl rarely leave their town on a daily basis. Most ppl shop, work, and live all within a few miles, and only leave for road trips or vacations
@@sh969 Exactly, it would be like being born in New York and never leaving the city. I know guys in San Diego that have never been farther than 12 miles away from where they were born they were just in San Diego all their lives.
It's a bit like saying that you never have to leave the city you live in. Which most people don't do on a regular basis. You have to remember that anything past X-Seed 4000 isn't a "building." It's a vertical city.
Read J. G. Ballard’s “High Rise”
I could imagine getting to the Space Elevator and finding a sign saying: "Elevator out of order. Please take the stairs."
Imagine if the space elevator goes catastrophically wrong. A 22,500 mile long cable just... lands on earth, crushing everything underneath it.

There actually a tv series where the exact thing happened, don't know the name but it's true
That’s episode 1 of Foundation.
I like how this guy says everything like they will be made and arent just ridiculous concepts

For the last 3 entries the question is can, so forget about should. At the moment we can't and I'm not optimistic that'll change soon.
Nah, i'm not believing into that Space Elevator being finished by 2050. I know the reality.
imma come back to this comment if humanity hasn't destroyed itself and RUclips somehow still exists
A friend's dad was asked to consult on the feasibility of building a mile high building in Germany in the 80s. While the German engineers found it possible to make the structure stable and buildable. However, the elevators would be so inconvenient even with express cars running to the upper levels. Too many car changes at the different levels to get to the top.

@@shukriwafiq5220 'never gonna happen?" hahaha that sounds like what a man would say from years 1400s-1600s ago. just look at the achievements of mankind now in terms of infrastructures and technology, just imagine how it would evolve for the next 100 or 500 years, or 1000 years, just imagine. and then here you are saying that just a mere 4km skyscraper would never happen.

Imagine going to the space elevator and finding a sign saying, "Out of order - take the stairs."

@@triplespamlegend Thank you title guru
@@Redridge07 yw ily
People thought same about Aeroplanes, Mobile phones, internet etc. Just wait and watch 😊
@@xordux7 yeah but phones and aircraft are extremely useful in the modern world. There is no reason to build any of this. The costs far outweigh the benefits. They're environmental nightmares, logistical nightmares, safety nightmares, etc. and they don't bring in much to benefit their nations. Towers like these are nothing but cash grabs and useless dick measuring contests by countries and companies who feel power and stature on the world stage is determined by whoever has the biggest most wasteful glass cuboid. They don't improve much of their country or city either if at all. In short, they're inefficient and have limited practical use.
very interesting how the taller the building, the earlier its idea was constructed. Almost like we know as time goes on how unrealistic (and mostly pointless) these projects are.
Not all of these are completely pointless but I agree that these are very unrealistic, and it’s good they realized that.
@@triplespamlegend actually its interesting how a literal space elevator is more likely to be build tha these one building cities
@@triplespamlegend how are skyscraper not useless?they make no sense from any perspective other than showing off
Anything about reaching space isn't pointless and its technically doable. However, its not really a building. I know one thing, if the space elevator is ever built, I'm not going.
@@Otzkar that's not true. Even though in some parts countries build skyscrapers just to show off, most of the time it's because of lack of space. If you have millions of people living in a small city and you cant expand outwards, you make more living space by expanding UPwards. that's why cities such as japan and china have tons of skyscrapers, due to the huge population.
I'm scared to death of not being in control when it comes to heights, but I would have to swallow that fear and take me a ride on the space elevator, that would be awesome!

5:59 Did I just get stick bugged?
HAHA
Imagine the space elevating getting stuck mid-way up the tower.
Yeah, and the rescue mission would be very dangerous and expensive.
Heard of spaceship?
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.
I wonder what the elevator musak is like in space
Imagine living in those buildings and the elevator being down and you have to use the stairs to get to floor 5000 xD
You Will Reach There After Atleast 1 Month XD

Well, Japan's economy last I checked still hasn't fully recovered from that crash. In an alternate reality where their economy continued to flourish, it might have been *partially* doable.
@@thetimelords911 I don’t think there’s any timeline where they could pay for it, or anyone for that matter.

Yeah I can't believe after they recovered economically that Japan doesn't want to spend more than 3 times the entire world's GDP on one building.... whole video was stupid only building that gas the potential to see the light of day is the space elevator due to the utility which would change space travel. And even of they figure that one out probably won't happen for a very long time.

Most people won’t ever leave their towns.
Not having to leave doesn’t mean you can’t
@@ozymandias8523 exactly the only times they do is for a trip or maybe groceries if thats out of town and the x seed is bigger than most towns so if this is a prison than why is a normal town not? Is that just because there isnt a roof?

What do you mean the Japanese economy crashed and the building never saw the light of day?
For a 10 km tall building, the damn foundations alone would take decades to prepare.
By the time the building was finished, the foundations and lower floors would be beyond obsolete. Going up that building would literally be a time travel through evolution.
Can you imagine? Floor 200, 8K holograms. Floor 400, ran by a super AI. Floor 600? Pocket teleportation pad.
@Pepe Frog I got your point, but still - a pocket teleportation pad? You really wouldn't need any elevator then.. :)
....you're from the future aren't you? Thats how you know these things! 😲
Bro knows things we don't
Reminds me of the European cathedrals that took centuries to complete. It took so long that the windows at one end of the building looked completely different to the other, simply because architectural styles had changed in the meantime.
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.
Imagine how earth will rotate with space elevator 😳
Why do people think naming their project, "tower of babel" is a good idea? Did they not read the story to figure out how that one ended up?
My guess is that they are refering to the historical tower of Bable, which was a marvel of architecture in that time and not the biblical tale.
@@patrikrathousky5791 Where is the historical tower of Bable? I thought the tower is mainly biblical.
@@atomnous Etemenanki is south of Baghdad and part of the ruins of Babylon.

imgaine someone walks in to the tower with a mini nuke warhead in a suitcase it would be 30 million gone in a second
Obviously nobody here has bothered to picked up a bible , mocking God worked really well the first time , maybe he'll have a change of heart this time .The tower was 1.5 miles wide by 3.5 miles long .Built somewere between the Euphrates and Tigeris rivers in Iraq. They worked on it for 47 years and were going for 2 miles in hight ,was only about 1.5 miles high before God blew on it, knocking it over for mocking him the first time...
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.
Unsustainable
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.
@@mikatu Uhm not necessarily. Yes blood will evaporate but, there is some lack of o2 hence being in thin atmosphere. You would struggle to breathe.

Burj Kalifa: Cool apartment building
X-Seed: Dystopian nightmare waiting to happen
Japan Tower of Babel: Even bigger dystopian nightmare waiting to happen
Space Loop: I don't even know how tf you would build this
Space elevator: How is this not easily destroyed by stray space debris?
The weird thing is the two distopian nightmare buildings would likely cost a bit of money to live in. Would be interesting to see something like that
@@blitheringrando1410 it might cost a lot but I doubt anyone who can afford it would want to live somewhere like that. They would probably end filled with poor people while richer people have nice houses or live in small apartment buildings and get the luxury of being able to go outside. Then the owner of the building can no longer afford to look after it as the rent is so low and it would turn into very unsafe slums.
@@blitheringrando1410 imagine taking the stairs on the Tower of Babel if the elevator goes out
Would the space elevator affect the rotation of the Earth? I know it's really thin so relatively light compared to the entire Earth, but when it sticks out that much...
@@fandroid6491 The tower of Babel is as stall as mount everest, it takes a bunch of weeks to scale the mountain.

bro earth in fact is around 42000 km in diameter.
@@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.
This is so fasanating and shocking! Oh, and yes, I do want to go up the space elevator!
Well theoretically we can build as tall as we want. The thing that holds us back is the space it would take up and the depth we would have dig to install a stable foundation. And cost.
I like how, according to your video, architects are the ones designing wildly complex buildings, not civil engineers.
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.
It's the architects that design stuff bro
That’s because architects are the ones who design buildings, not civil engineers
Architects design the floor layout and look while civil engineers design the structural components, like material to use, reinforcing, load paths, etc.
@@1mol831 and that not that many people want to install a rope 20.000 kilometers up in the sky.

Watching from Greece.hi everybody.
This is the future of our dreams.Outstanding!!!
this is like my favorite video right now
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.

The building in the thumbnail looks like something out of a sci-fi or fantasy universe
I think, before they go on something like X-Seed 4000, they should maybe try the idea of Sky City 1000 for the start or maybe even smaller to see if an arcology like this can really be build and work.
I mean, i totally like this idea, especially for huge cities like Tokyo, New York or similar cities of this size, but we really shouldnt got too big with this before we know if it is possible or not with our actuall technology.
The idea of Cky City 1000 is more than 30 years old and still the future, but its not sure if we have reached this future already.

In theory, we could build infinitely. As long as the bottom is larger than the top, we can keep building a stable building.
In my fictional world, there have a lot of skyscrapers higher than Burj Khalifa
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 I guess you’ll have a limit because of the Earth curvature
@@Etheoma I see. Thank you so much! This was very well explained.

If the X Seed 4000 were to be built I’d love it to be built in New York City and have massive engines built into it and launch it into space like the Mon Calamari!!!
My favorite of the bunch is definitely Oblisco in Egypt and probably the only one to finish. I'm not sure about the future of Jeddah Tower but I have high hopes for the Oblisco project, it's already approved for 2024
It is a masterpiece that will be in the Pharaonic style😍😉
. Lovely K
I love how this video is 10:00 exactly
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.
Very interesting video and concepts, but considering that I generally don't like going higher than the 4th floor, I think I'll pass on going into any of these structural contraptions if they're ever built.
Yea i already feel unconfortable in the 5th or 6th floor
They are never ever gonna be built !!!! The narrator could make u believe they are gonna build a tower that could reach the moon...
My house I live in my grandpa my dad and his siblings built is 4 stories tall and it's made of old oil pipeline steel and concrete lol
It's too bad my hometown CN tower is no longer on this list, but it's STILL one of the 7 wonders of modern engineering
There are some days that my car won't even start and you guys talk about space travel?
😃😃😃
Top Luxury: "Incredible 10 Billion dollar price tag"
Jeff Bezos: "I'll take 15"
"before the loop can become a reality, there are still some things scientists need to work out"...right ok.
A meteorite near the space elevator:
Don't mind if I hug you?
I LOVE THE space elevator
"There are still some issues needing to be worked out"
By that he means "it's impossible". Won't ever happen. Two of them have already been proven impossible and/or incredibly nonsensical.
Never lose hope, friend
@@kml_arf Its just impractical, same ammount of people can live on the surface and it will consume too much energy, probably needs a nuclear powerplant inside
@@georgivanev7466 Well OF COURSE it needs a nuclear powerplant inside lol. There has to be some target for the hacker-terrorists to try to attack, so the main-character retired policeman can hunt them now. You can't have a good movie without those elements.
@@DudeWatIsThis Sounds kinda like Blade Runner 2049
I agree, every idea in this video is completely Impracticable from the maintenance view-point...
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
2:50 is scary and what does it mean by you will never have to leave... Does that mean I'll never feel the sun cuz that doesn't makes sense. Plus where are all those 1m people coming from? Welp just have to wait till then.
The wind could yawn and that tower would fall like a messed up roblox ragdoll.
You dont HAVE to leave.. just like you dont leave your city all the time
After building a skyscraper as high as is possible, we may be able to construct Balloon supported structures up to the edge of space 100 km above sea level. This would use very large torus shaped balloons, stacked one above the other, with a small interior vertical elevator (or pair of elevators) inside.
However, just getting into space is not going to be the whole issue of access to space. We also need to speed up to an orbital speed, which is another problem altogether,
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.
Great content! Thanks for the inspiration!
