I was watching this just figuring this was another one of those info channels with at least 100K+ or so subscribers based on the quality of the video. I didn’t even realize how underrated this is until I read the comments. Glad to see that came up first when I searched for “problems with underwater cities”
Having lived and worked in/from several undersea habitats I can say that I would move into an undersea colony without a second thought. The video is right about one thing. It is expensive to build and place such a facility. However, it costs only a fraction of what Space Exploration costs. What we need is an Elon Musk type person who would take interest in ocean exploration and colonization.
Now there will be a city where the artist would not fear the sensor, where the scientist would not be bound by pity morality, where the Great will not be constrained by the small called rapture, only if it is or was possible in the future.
I imagine someday we could see an underwater city. It could kind of like a huge shopping mall perhaps. You got levels that function like apartments/homes. Then you have a level that functions like the economy where the stores are and then a level where there can be gainful employment perhaps. The thing that I could see happening is there will be no cars sort of. Just elevators and trams and mostly foot traffic. Perhaps at the surface could function as a place to do some outdoor recreational activities within reason. I could like maybe a huge swimming pool that sort of functions like a beach out in the middle of the ocean, or some kind of park with playgrounds and park benches and picnic tables. Perhaps not a golf course but maybe a driving range with a huge net to collect golf balls and prevent them from getting into the ocean. I'm just kind of brainstorming a bit.
This will be absolutely necessary if we plan to build settlements on water worlds like Jupiter's moon of Europa, which is believed to have a liquid ocean under the ice.
there is no limit to what people can achieve, underwater skyscrapers, Oceanic cities, pretty soon we will have space city plans aswell and maybe spacescrapers xDD.
Cousteau never gets enough credit. I used to watch his TV show when I was a kid back in Philly. Norwadays you see Cardi B and her WAP.... Poor America.
Yes I would love to live until a underwater city. Ever since grade school of 20,000 lease underneath the sea it's possible. Just like in space it would have its problems under the water will have this problems but we can conquer all.
Yes! I've always thought this idea was super fascinating, and it should be explored! Why should over 70% of the planet remain unknown!! I also remember when I was in school in a science class they were talking about this very thing, that humans would someday be able to live underwater and everyone loved the idea.... except ONE girl who was scared of water, she wouldn't budge from her position on it LOL
Although I am equally fascinated by space and underwater exploration, if I could choose to live between a city on Mars/Moon or a floating city semi-submerged in the ocean, I would choose to live in the city in the ocean.
In my fictional world, there have a lot of underwater city but all of factors why people live in underwater city in this video never happened. Lands is still okay
If we ever did live underwater, there’s no way that glass or even any plastics can hold on in the density of the water down deep, so most of out buildings would probably be made closer to the shores for easy access to land and possible building product harvesting(iron, titanium, copper, etc), with glass or hard plastic for windows not far down, buildings would be built up like skyscrapers as the waters density keeps them upright and more steady than in air,
Just so you know Armageddon made 558 million dollars in 1998 and was the highest grossing film of that year. Bruce Willis got paid 14.8 million dollars for his role. Armageddon did not derail his career in any way whatsoever.
IT CAN HAPPEN. i love the idea living in the depth of sea. let me tell you, living a DECENT life in the deep sea cities could happen sooner than any kind of colony of mars. as for spaces inside the residential places underwater, deep sea compartment could be as big as a house. its all about engineering. simple engineering could make a large space compartment that could even withstand pressure under 1 km below the surface. and the modules could sits on flexible anchor/pillars that would withstand the most powerful underwater earthquakes and tsunami wave. deep sea cities endeavor is NOT a pipedream. IT IS VERY VERY DOABLE. as soon as possible even.
Living underwater is basicly going back to where we came from isn't it though. I bet down there you can easily survive all kinds of disasters like comets, supervulcano's and solar flames. Not to mention a great flood 😅
This idea is much better than colonize on space... While the time of dinosaur extinction only few animals survived, but many fishes survived... And also this is very easy than colonize on mars
We now build a city where the artist would not fear the sensor, where the Great will not be constrained by the small, where the scientist would not be bound by pity morality that city we now choose to build underwater is rapture.
Jimi Hendrix vision of returning to live in the sea "1983, a Merman I Shall Turn To Be " Hooray, I awake from yesterday Alive but the war is here to stay So my love, Katherina and me Decide to take our last walk Through the noise to the sea Not to die but to be reborn Away from a life so battered and torn Forever Oh, say can you see, it's really such a mess Every inch of earth is a fighting nest Giant pencil and lipstick tube-shaped things Continue to rain and cause screaming pain And the Arctic stains From silver blue to bloody red As our feet find the sand and the sea Is straight ahead, Straight up ahead Well, it's too bad, That our friends Can't be with us today Well, that's too bad "The machine that we built would never save us" That's what they say (That's why they ain't coming with us today) And they also said "It's impossible for man to live and breathe underwater forever" Was their main complaint (Yeah) And they also threw this in my face, they said: "Anyway, you know good and well It would be beyond the will of God And the grace of the King" Grace of the King, yeah, yeah So my darling and I Make love in the sand To salute the last moment Ever on dry land Our machine has done its work, Played its part well Without a scratch on our bodies And we bid it farewell Starfish and giant foams greet us with a smile Before our heads go under, we take a last look At the killing noise Of the out of style The out of style, Out of style So down and down and down and down and down we go Hurry, my darling, we mustn't be late for the show Neptune champion games To an aqua world of serenity Right this way, smiles a mermaid I can hear Atlantis full of cheer Atlantis full of cheer I can hear Atlantis full of cheer
wouldn't mind an underground bunker. in a nuclear war we will be glad we have underwater bunkers. plenty of food supply, and i'm sure we can find a way to vent oxygen through a filter that sits on surface of the ocean like in Subnautica.
Sorry dude, but it's a common myth that anyone was ever executed for claiming that the Earth was a sphere, in spite of what lies you may have learned in grade school to the contrary. From the very first time the shape of the earth was questioned, the answer had been known and for about 3000 some odd years, the Earth was a sphere, and they even knew about how big it was with surprising accuracy. Columbus didn't sail to prove it round, he did it to find the western route to the very lucrative spice trades of the subcontinent and China.
Me want to make big underwater habits, focus need for air manage. Much more small problems but humans can do it, but humans no interest in topic. Humans treat it like bad taste medicine, we need it but want better. When habits are made, people will change. Most indubitably.
As people is slowly move to underwater city due to global warming. This project will definitely come true. But when this project come true, another problems will emerge. That is the marine life will be greatly affected. It is so difficult situation as humans are literally invading the marine life which ocean is their home. Imagine humans and sea creatures living under the same roof???! 🙄Sigh!
