American Reacts to What The World Will Look Like in 250 Million Years! 

For future reference, the < and > keys can be used to move frame-by-frame, might be useful helping you catch those quick "blink-and-you'll-miss-it" jokes.

Bless you for stopping and reading all the jokes, and saving me from having to do it :-)

liked the Michael Fish reference when he mentioned experts getting it wrong

super looking forward to 250 million years from now! already making plans for my roadtrip through all countries!

4:32 the same truck on the left with the blue inside is in both!

Those other 11 previous supercontinent shapes (at 10:58) included ones shaped like Great Britain on its side and Greater London!

I wish everyone was as nice as you.

I'm optimistic about lasting another 250 million years. I remember thinking how very modern it felt to write 1970 in my schoolbooks after getting used to the curvy dates leading up to this; and now we're near as dammit a quarter the way through the 21st first century!

The consensus among Aliens is that we won't survive for much longer and that we shouldn't be contacted as that might make our speedier demise their fault. I did try to persuade my Alien friend that they should consider helping us but she's not having it.

One of the dinasours is the "Rug Rats" Godizilla analog. Don't know it's name 😁

There's a foot, not a hand, holding the phone at the very end!

Hey, JULA. Love the channel. Keep up the good work. To answer your puzzlement, the UK wetherman thing is a UK thing. It's a meme 😊

Good

I love how you read all the text jokes.

13:38... look up Michael Fish - hurricane 1987 :)

😊😅😂 Noel Edmunds would probably be somewhat 'miffed' at his name not being known, as over the years he has become "slightly, but not so quietly" 'doolally tat' !! He has apoarently now moved to France, bought land, and a property on it, and is "in conflict" with the local authorities, who want to build and pass a road through a tiny corner of his land... I have no idea regarding the "rights" involved but apparently Noel is quite irate about it...and highly argunentative! The French have a real (written & verbal) fight on their hands. Far be it from me to stand up for the Feench, but... "Good Luck" French Officials? 🇷🇴You'll need it!! 😮🤔🖖

250 million!? I'm giving humanity less than 150 years. And that's being kind.

That they had the budget to fly out to India to do that little bit, and yet couldn’t just drive north up the A1 to Berwick upon Tweed for their Scottish border video is beyond me.

Land before time

Weird thing is I'm friends with one of Alfred Wegener's descendants

Damn, I would have bet my house you were not going to get that Jamiroquai logo... good job man.

We'd probably kill the aliens too, I'm afraid.

What's more incredible about this, is that we have this all figured out as a species, but we won't be around anymore after the billions of years this will take.

Regarding Atlantis, it was Plato who told us about this place and he actually gives reasonably clear instructions on how to get there. Start in the Mediterranean and then head through "the pillars of Hercules" - that's basically the entrance to the Med, between Gibraltar / Spain and Morocco - then head West. You'll eventually reach a land that he describes as being as big as "Asia Minor and Africa combined". If you actually do this with a world map, then you'll find yourself in the Americas. While the size comparison of Asia and Africa combined is not exactly entirely accurate, Plato's comparing it to places he knows in the Old World. And the point is that he's describing a BIG land mass, not just some tiny little island. (And, honestly, if one imagines North America as "Asia Minor" and South American as "Africa", this really isn't a bad approximation.) Yeah, if you go by Plato's description, then Atlantis is simply the Americas. I know, I know. How does Plato know that America's over there, when our established history has it that no-one knew until Colombus discovered it much later? Well, if you look it up, then you'll find that the Vikings also discovered America - by island hopping to Iceland, then Greenland, then Canada and from there you can move down - and archaeologists have found evidence of "Old World" European pottery and such in the Americas. So there's some evidence that the "Old World" knew about the "New World" - and had visited it - before Colombus. But, yes, crossing the Atlantic is a perilous journey by the vessels of the time. And a long journey, so you'd need to carry a lot of provisions to see you all the way across. So, yes, it was - as it still was for Colombus thousands of years later - a rather mad and dangerous mission, and one hell of a "leap of faith" to just keep going, when all you can see for weeks and weeks on end is ocean (as your food and water is running out). This was likely a very, very rare journey to be made in antiquity, as you'd have to be mad and your chances of survival were very low (and, really, if you want to do this, then copy the Viking and go via the top, where you can "island hop" from Norway to Faroe Islands to Iceland to Greenland and then reach Canada, then go South). But, yeah, the most obvious explanation for Plato's "Atlantis" is that he's describing the Americas. If you follow his instructions to get there, that's where you end up on a modern world map. And his description of its size - which is absolutely continent-sized massive - can only really fit the Americas. And how do you explain Plato knowing of the Americas? Well, clearly some people had actually made the Atlantic crossing (both ways, in order to bring the story back) way, way earlier than history records. There is, as mentioned, some archaeological evidence to back that up, of "European" things in America, that really shouldn't be there at the time. But this is a long and perilous journey. Most people attempting it in antiquity likely died. I mean, thousands of years later, most folks thought Colombus completely mad to even attempt it and would surely die (and he really shouldn't have attempted it, but he calculated that the planet was smaller than it really was, so he imagined you'd reach China / India far sooner than you actually do - he made a mistake there and really should have died, running out of food and water, in the middle of the ocean... but luckily for him, the Americas are actually there). But someone must have done it at some point. That's how Plato knows about this place, even though it's all very "mythical" - almost like a rumour of a place - and not anywhere that folks regularly went and knew for a fact was there. The story of Atlantis sinking under the sea? Well, if we imagine that, in antiquity, folks made the Atlantic crossing and arrived in the Americas. But, increasingly, more and more such journeys failed. And one journey attempted it, felt they'd travelled far enough West to have reached there but saw nothing but ocean. Then came back and said "the island isn't there. It must have sunk under the sea or something". Then folks made up these myths and stories to explain why Atlantis was no longer there. It must have sunk. But, actually, it was still there. They just gave up and returned home too early. Navigation back then wasn't great, so they probably just felt they'd travelled far enough, not seen anything and then, conscious of how much food and water they had, were forced to return home and then told people "it's not there anymore". If a few such missions did that in a row, then folks might start believing that, yup, the islands are gone now. They must have sunk or something. Let's stop trying to go to these lands to the West, as it always fails and people die. So knowledge of the Americas was lost. And just turned into a myth and legend - a rumour - about an awesome place called "Atlantis" over there to the West somewhere. And, so the rumours had it, it really is massive - as big as Asia Minor and Africa combined - which, in light of the places that folks knew about back then, was probably the best way to describe it in terms of places people knew. Atlantis is America. People from the Old World did visit it long before Colombus - so its existence was known and Plato had heard about it through myths and legends - but it's a long and dangerous journey to get there, especially with the boats of the time, so this likely rarely happened (and you'd need balls of steel to even think of making the trip) and when many ships failed to ever return, and the ones that did were reporting "it's not there anymore", the Old World stopped trying to get to the Americas. And then it just became a myth and legend. A story passed down the generations, that people once went West and found a magical place. But then the Old World stopped attempting the voyage, because no-one was ever coming back. And the few who did come back were those who gave up early and turned around before getting there, reporting "I'm sure we went West far enough but there was nothing there. The islands must have disappeared". Which turns into a myth about Atlantis sinking under the sea. It didn't really do that, of course. But how do you explain, in your myths and legends, how this big land mass isn't there anymore? Umm, must have sunk, right?

Land is breaking up and drifting apart they will never look like that. England was joined to France centuries ago. Africa is breaking up now in our times.

Did.. you just preemptively ask a hypothetical alien race to help us destroy them became we will likely try to attack them for trying to help us?

the man is chris tarrant from who wants to be a millionaire.

The man as a 🦕 dinosaur is Piers Morgan.

Should make it easier for the British to colonise it again

Well that's the Channel Tunnel screwed then! Oh well, can just walk to France then and point at all the illegal immigrants walking the other way!

If everyone was like you, I think we would stand a chance at World Peace. Unfortunately…

I hope I'm not around in 250 million years.

Planet Earth is not overpopulated with humans. The whole of the Human population could fit into Texas, USA.

What utter BS hahahaha
