Given that 1, Daniela was not even bothered at encountering alien life, and 2, her helmet was able to translate galactic common, it makes me wonder what exactly the human quarantine entails. Perhaps humans are kept to their own slot of the orion arm with species that are closer in density to them, though still weaker, and the quarantine is to keep humans from realizing just how soft and powdery the rest of the galaxy is by comparison.
@@billberg1264 Or maybe Humanity found a crashed/stranded ship and got the common galactic speech data from that one while also giving access to more alien tech. Seeing how the extraterrestrials set up a quarantine zone, I guess they were simply scared shitless by high-gravity supermonkeys that are adaptable AF and also have natural body armor that literally grows out of their body in strands, not to mention that these hulking monkeybeasts are able to analyze and adapt foreign tech so easily while also bashing each others heads in on a constant basis :D Meeting a human for an alien would probably be like meeting Zerg-Kerrigan from Starcraft :D
Less than half our gravity and 50% more oxygen than our standard. Yeah we'd be a monster on that world. Also "Is that organic nanotech?" "Dude I've been flying for a week and haven't shaved my legs" is such a conversation.
pressure and gravity are NOT the same thing, so you can have one and not the other. Would just be a lot harder on a planet with the more or less same air content as earth's. Otherwise astronauts would have a really hard time.
in a large portion of the HFY stories, the mean galactic "standard" gravity is something like 1/3 to maybe 1/2 of Earth standard and would be categorized as "Gaia" worlds (Worlds with next to NO hazards of any kind and the largest creature being an affectionate critter the size of a small fluffy cat that couldn't hurt a fly.
The one that gets me is not the one who fell the furthest, but a guy named Nicholas Alkemade. He was a rear gunner in a Lancaster during WWII, and bailed out of his burning and spinning aircraft at 18,000 feet without a parachute as his had caught fire and was wrecked. Like many rear gunners he preferred the option of dying on impact over burning to death. His fall was broken first by trees then a snow drift, he suffered some bruising and a sprained leg. That was all. There are people who survived greater heights, the most was a air hostess who fell from 33,000 feet! But none of those who fell further were able to basically walk (albeit with a limp) away.....
@@alganhar1 yeah trees help a lot unless they impale you, Juliane Koepcke was sucked from a plane over the Amazon after a lightning strike and still buckled into her seat fell 2 miles and survived. In 1972 a man named Bob Hall fell 3300 feet when his parachutes didn't open and fell face first into the runway, only broke his nose and messed up his teeth. Doctors and surgeons and dentists were able to fix his teeth and resocket them to heal and a plastic surgeon fixed his nose, and he now has a slightly disfigured septum but other than that you can't tell he was injured.
Norwegian paratrooper i think still holds the record for freefall height survived. something like 2.5kms. And yep he was the one where the trees broke his fall lol. As well as his legs back etc.( dark chuckle)
This one made me chuckle. I've read similar things about sky divers who's parachutes didn't work out properly. They all had extremely lucky soft landings but needed hospitals afterwards. Bravo Sir Encore!
Years ago I saw a program about skydiving. One of the jumpers had his 'chute fail and he didn't cut it away properly and when he popped his reserve it wrapped around the primary. The camera followed him down and there was a puff of dust from behind the treeline where he impacted. When the emergency personnel got to him he was trying to get up. They reported he said, "I think my legs are broken." He was jumping again six months later.
Daniela was a female pilot. They are chosen for lithness and smaller size. God only knows what would have happened if Dwane Johnson had showed up... ;-)
So, crash land on a low gravity, high oxygen, planet, walk off, find the remains of her ship, and teleport back home. When she asked for some peroxide, she obviously meant the 3% to 4% one that we can get at our local pharmacy. Same for the isopropil. As for that quarantine thing... I don't think that the humans ever noticed it, or WE initiated it ourselves.
@@the_pelican_real 100% Isoprolyl used externally is OK, internally, it's another story. 40% is pretty much the max. And again, it don't taste great even not denatured. Hydrogen peroxyde at anything over 60% is nasty : It tends to put things on fire. At 70+%, it's used in rockets as monopropellant, or hypergolique propergol if mixed with something else.
I absolutely love the stories where Humans are the universe's boogyman because we come from a world that should have wiped us out long ago. And the fact we weren't is some cause for concern to them. Also, the fact that the rest come from herbivore or non-predetory races and calm, light gravity planets.
Negative. Keeping their people far away and humanity isolated from everyone else except for monitoring would be the definition of quarantine. The story seems like they met the humans, gave them the language for translating a first contact meeting and then noped the hell out of there after first contact, ghosting humanity after saying they would be back after meeting with the council and then leaving all messages on read. The humans exploring and improving their own technology after seeing that some of the alien tech that was only in SciFi actually worked, revisited their old ideas and have made it past the quarantine zone.
peace is good. Here is a like and comment for the story, for entertaining me, to help your channel grow, to appease the great and powerful RU-vid algorithm demon, and get you the recognition you deserve.
... yeah, peaceful is definitely the way to go. Considering the humans apparently have teleportation beacons in this story, I seriously doubt killing them all is a viable option... even if they manage it, there probably won't be much left of the galaxy.
hehe , thats the kind of ''smart savage'' style of human i wish was a reality ..mostly because 1. it be cool to have aliens for 'death world' tourism 2. because trading a promise to be a 'noble savage' to some aliens that figured out bio engineering etc to help with some details such as clinical immortality be a nice deal ;)
Extra oxygen at lower atmospheric pressure doesn't help performance much in nirmal people. The breathing bottlneck is CO2 exhalation. You can easily see that with a fingertip O2 saturation meter.
It makes people more comfortable with the exertion though which is why they would feel like a super hero. Since the regulation for breathing and heart rate is mostly ruled by CO2 ratio to Oxygen based on the acidity of the blood. It is also why you have to be careful with a sick/injured/unconscious person when giving them supplemental oxygen. Too much and their body will just stop breathing because the amount of CO2 in relation is nowhere near enough to raise the acidity of the blood enough to tell the body to breathe. But because of this, supplemental oxygen makes people feel like they are exerting less. It is nothing but a placebo effect, which is how the fitness oxygen scam works, people feel better using it so they keep buying it. The problem here is even super athletes can easily injure themselves using oxygen because they don't feel like they are exerting themselves as much and over do it. For this reason, in 2012, after over 100,000 troops were injured (heart attacks/muscle tears/aversions/fractures and bone breaks) the US military banned the use of oxygen supplements during PT.
@@alexistaylor969 I come home some 35 years ago and my mom was doing the dishes and crying. "Dad IS dying. Oh don't do drama". It was a flue season and dad caught it. It was a particularly nasty that clogged the lungs. I walked into room and was scared $hitless, because dad was gasping for air and had a pale color of a bloodless corpse. I was thinking for a couple of minutes and decides to bring the oxygen cylinder from our metal shop with the pressure reducer. I've put a short rubber tube and told dad to use it. He refused and I said: "LAY BACK ON BEDPUT THE HOSE ON YOUR CHEST AND START BREATHING !!!" I estimate that this enriched the O2 to round 30% and prevented damage to lungs, the volume I set up was like a very gentle breeze. Then went back to console mom. When I got back to the dad, it was PURE JOY: he laid there, rosy cheeks and feeling much better. Later on, that week. mum caught the virus and they would lay on the couch and would pass the hose back and forth. I told them to open the window and door, before operating any electrical device, because the spark could start big fire. Many years later I told this to a doctor and he said it was a wise decision, but you have to be careful with the CO2 or the patient might stop breathing. He has lived for more than 15 years after this. Almost forgot the story but your writing reminded me of this episode. One of the BEST memories of my life.
@@alexistaylor969 Correct, though most of the acidity builds up locally as lactic acid. As a physician ~40 years (internist), I had some patients in the "50-50" club. These were people who walked around WITHOUT supplemental oxygen which 30 years ago was not easily available in a portable manner with pO2 ~ pCO2 in the 50s. Note that partial pressures (the "p" in pO2) are not directly relatable to O2% nor to O2 carrying capacity. Yeah, the subject gets complicated but the bottom line is that a high O2 environment will not help at sea level atmospheric conditions. Now, in this story gravity was lower soooooo, perhaps the lower O2 pressures were compensated by higher O2%? Yeah, ridiculous excessive speculation on my part, I know.
Fun... Idiotic as hell, but fun story. Because no, more oxygen don't make you a superman. Make you feel like one, because hight on it. But help in no real way (it's in fact even dangerous) And 1/2 g will not have so much effect. Or save you of a fall from so hight. So either all human are now gene-augment in a way it make them monsters, and for them it common and normal. Either the author know nothing, but as create a real fun story nonetheless! Whatever the case, thank you ❤
According to Daniella, Earth is 2.5x higher gravity plus the lower O². Meaning, 40% of her normal gravity gives her extra time to adjust for a much lighter impact. Add in her 2.5x density from higher grav, pretty sure she'd land okay. Now, as to the higher oxygen boosting performance. I've lived at altitude for 2 decades and it really effects what I can do at sea level. My breathing slows, and my strength and energy output is measurably higher. That's at normal grav. At 2.5 lower grav, I'd be chucking stuff like it's Styrofoam, too. There's a reason athletes train at altitude.
...I am sorry, but this isn't how physics work. If he was still at very high acceleration when he crashed, he still would get squashed, lower grav planet or not, a rock is still a rock, hitting a rock at 200 km/h is still going to kill you, no matter how used you are to higher gs.
A good story ruined by scientific absurdity: The weight and density of the atmosphere is directly proportional to the gravity and height above sea level. People suffocate at the top of Mount Everest where the atmosphere is 20% less dense, because their lungs fill up with fluid. In 40% earth gravity and relative atmosphere humans would be unable to remain conscious for long enough to have a conversation, even with a pure oxygen atmosphere, because they would die of the bends.
Danielia, a hefty person that self-identifies as a "woman" by the voice given her. Other than that, great reading. Maybe read the story before narrating it.
