@Phantom Blade We just paid over 13 billion dollars for one Aircraft carrier...... Not to mention, that with America's GDP, we make $2,283,105,022(billion) per hour. Do you consider something you pay for that costs about an hour and 15 minutes of your pay to be expensive?
Nonono, shooting up foreign poor farmer towns and pissing them off with 1 billion per build drones is much better than pursuing for the betterment of the mankind.
You actually need military units for your country to survive, so as to not be taken advantage by others. So I guess it will never happen even if the world is unified.
@@cryingwater Yes, I agree. But 4 billion USD per day clearly implies these soldiers are overfed, especially higher ranks that did not go to frontlines. And yes, they do profit from war. There are many equipments that are clearly overpriced and countless undertable dealing that we won't know forever.
The problem with acoustics is the effect they have on cetaceans, especially the deep diving species such as the Curvier's beaked whale. They are mainly found in deep canyons where the sound bounces off the walls causing them to make a bolt for the surface which ends up killing them as they get DCS
@Phantom Blade 😂HOW CLOSE ARE WE TO DISCOVERING DOUBLE PEA SHOOTERS (THE TRUTH WILL SHOCK YOU!) National Geographic Documentary. Watch Full Movie Now Free. Edit: bonus: Elon Musk exclusive interview. 😂😂😂
The 625 billions of dollars pumped into the military is responsible for the creation of millions of jobs and the development of a great deal of new technology that has benefited humankind as a whole, not to mention global security and the assurance of the free use of the oceans for all nations across the entire globe, as well as the countless humanitarian missions conducted by the military. Now, I'm not knocking the pursuit of science, all I'm saying is you should understand what the military delivers in terms of ROI before you start knocking the expense.
"We", Americans spend 625 Billion dollars annually. And that is just stupid, the whole world has been trying to say that the US military budget is insane
Humans:Maps planet that doesn't really affect are daily life also humas:Debates on mapping our oceans that would help us save our planet that affects our daily life
be sure to remember how maps don't affect your daily life next time your have an item delivered to your house or travel to any place you haven't been before.
@@12xenn45 even with US republicans being corrupt idiots the US it-self is already 2nd in generating green energy at over 902,000GW/h. it's not too impressive when you consider it's only 30% of the total. but the only reason for that is that the population density outside cities is low making it hard to justify building new infrastructure.
We could find aliens if we map more. Because we only need to map a life supporting planet. This helps find aliens search. Also we could observe what they do. We could learn and copy or alter or Humans grew up on a life supporting planet. So, so would aliens.
I've always dreamed of getting hundreds if not thousands of small autonomous drone subs and visually picture/record most of the sea floor (mostly with the idea of finding every sunken ship that hasn't disintegrated). This seems like a step toward that goal.
yea you are correct and in my opinion 3 billion is very cheap considering the billions of dollars spent on the transportation of the US president alone
2:26 lol, I was waiting for that. Typical of humans. I'm not against the mining of resources and minerals (we need them, obviously) but I would find it hard to believe that humans would do something as grand as mapping the ocean without somehow searching for ways to exploit the ocean floor
what's the point of exploring the floor is not for human gain? Curiosity is just one contribution, Scientific study another. Why do you educate yourself if not to inform and use the education in other ways? (Be it personal intellectual enlightenment or programing a website.)
Like we're not already exploiting the ocean... ::facepalm:: Detailed mapping would contribute to that exploitation being less destructive. You don't have to destructively dead-drag through random delicate ecostructures if you know exactly where to look for, say, lithium deposits.
It might be "really disappointing for anyone who's thinking about doing business on the oceans, managing the oceans, thinking about how TO GET WHAT WE NEED from the future of the oceans", but I bet Marine life is happy about it! Personally I think we screwed things up enough "managing" our land and it's "resources". Resource, the name implies the source gets replenished, but not once Humans get their greedy hands on it. I admire your optimism, Trace.
amazing video! my students loved it and are working hard to map the lakes in their own local communities!! one of my students Richard said that he wants to dedicate his life to this project.
@Sky Man Has the ocean floor been mapped? Yes. Accurately? ...No. The problem is the maps of the totality of the ocean floor hasn't been accurately mapped because thousands of feet of water is quite hard to see through it's why submarines are still a thing. If stealth weren't possible military subs today wouldn't be a thing (because of their cost and overall uselessness outside of being covert). The ocean floor is very hard to map. Having maps isn't the same as accurate mapping. The ocean floor a few feet from the coast in Florida that is visible to the naked eye isn't the same as trying to figure out what is underneath miles of water in some places in the same ocean a few hundered miles away from the same coast in the same ocean even if you're directly above the area you want to map. So again mapped? Sure. Mapped well? If those 500 year old maps of the world are accurate to you... Then yes, I guess.
@Sky Man Actually they explained how global organizations will use accurate maps of the the ocean floor for their own benefit. Did you watch the video? Most of the stuff humans make isn't for general use and doesn't directly benefit you as an individual. If you're healthy you don't know what it's like to need the medical equipment your own species pioneered. Does that mean it doesn't help those that do? I guess according to you it does, right?
How close are we to running out of fossil fuels/ how close are we to economic crash/ how close are we to being overthrown by other global superpowers/ how close are we to evolving into another species (hyperhuman). Just some ideas for future episodes, thank you for your consideration.
Remains ‘undiscovered,’ on land: 1. Beneath the tree canopies of dense forests, 2. Some caverns still not yet found, 3. Inside some craters of volcanoes active or inactive, 4. Underneath all the ice, when it melts, 5.Some rock formations or unearthed mines
We have only explored about 5% ocean. Just imagine what creatures could be lurking down there considering we've found gigantic creatures like Big Squid and Dragon Fish which looks something out of a horror movie. When we do explore more of the ocean i bet we will find some nightmarish creatures.
Most species that we have discovered in the ocean live in high activity regions such as corals and tropical reefs, most of the ocean is a desert devoid of life.
Bathymetry or ocean geology is one of my biggest passions. I hope they can manage to map the entire oceans on time or maybe -with pessimistically- even before the given date.
maybe a dumb question but why don't they do it like google maps with airplanes. Just cooperate with shipping companies and cruise lines and install these devices on their ships. The leftovers then take only very little time and money (in comparison), while common shipping routes will be much more accurately mapped.
i assume because cargo ships have to go specific routes, and maybe you have to go slow enough to do it which wouldnt be good for the things getting shipped.
We have a bunch of vessels mapping the ocean floors. I have had many friends who served on those vessels, from the 1960s and up through today. USNS Stalwart (T-AGOS-1). USNS Victorious (T-AGOS-19) USNS Impeccable (T-AGOS-23) John McDonnell (T-AGS-51), Littlehales (T-AGS-52). USNS Pathfinder (T-AGS-60) USNS Sumner (T-AGS-61) USNS Bowditch (T-AGS-62) USNS Henson (T-AGS-63) USNS Bruce C. Heezen (T-AGS-64) USNS Mary Sears (T-AGS-65) USNS Maury (T-AGS-66)
It's been maped since the 80's by the US Navy, we have land lines / cables under the whole ocean? Long distance calls? Sonar? Radar? FlIR? TIS? GPS? Over the horizon GPS? Come on civilians? One Team
20/30 is a great goal for having the mapping done for the entire ocean but maybe by cutting it in in half by maybe taking two years and you know half as many ships you can cut cost-efficiency down and and maybe even save some money so it's so we can actually push that push it up further you know we could see it sooner you guys are really smart we can work it out I'm sure keep up the good work is awesome I love what you guys are doing keep me informed please thank you
Just amazing, hope we map our planet as soon as possible. It would hugely benefit our undestanding of how it all works and how to protect from ourselves.
Do the techniques used to map the sea floor affect the wildlife/environment? Like if they are using aquostic waves does it affect dolphins/whales? If they are using radar/radioactive waves does it heat up the earth?
The SONAR used in these underwater maps is ultrasonic. Its several hundred kilohertz, meaning it is well beyond the audible range of pretty much everything. The frequent traffic of large merchant vessels or vast fields of shrimp are far more of a nuisance than this SONAR.
Why not have some basic certification process for existing ships (of all countries) to apply to have an automated version of sonar recording/mapping installed and uploading data periodically? That could also help us better monitor changes as well as topography.
I would be interested to learn how close we are to reversing much of the desertification of landscapes such as the Sahara in Africa and the Gobi in China.
Reversing? Bro, the Sahara desert sand provides the rainforest with nutrients to well, BE A RAINFOREST. Then, lots of detailed science info later, moisture from the rainforest, travels to mountains, it rains, water flows, eventually making it to icebergs which fall into the ocean (naturally or should be naturally and not cause of a warming ocean) and the nutrients from the icebergs feeds plankton and again, fast forward a bit, we end up with oxygen. Wanting to reverse deserts is the most absurd thing I have read all year. Everything on this planet contributes to its overall health and existence. To your existence.
The roof. Really? The military could easily give less than 10% of 1% of their budget and would not change anything. So yeah I wouldn't notice a small piece of a shingle missing from my roof.
Metacognition88 that’s a good point, you won’t notice 1 or 2 or 3 shingles missing but how many can you take away before it creates a leak and potentially damages or destroys your home? I would rather not put that theory to the test, I’ll put as many shingles on my house as it needs no matter the cost.
Video Ideas: How close are we to a renewable energy powered planet? Hint: Portable Geothermal Power (aka Thorium Molten Salt Reactors) and Kite Power Systems are under rated technologies with huge potential here How close are we to a jobless world? Hint: Access over ownership, Universal Basic Income, automation, and Resource Based (or Circular) Economies, are all making big strides here. How close are we to a climate change catastrophe? Hint: According to the IPCC report about 12 years
I have an idea coming from a kid who loves video games and is watching this for school, what if we sent out mapping systems that gamers like me could control and move underwater that way you have boats drones and underwater robots controlled by kids and adults everyday
Maybe it is a cost thing but how much space does a sonar take? Isn't it possible to add sonar systems to carrier ships or other ships that tour around a lot?
hey man, another really great episode. for a future episode idea how about "how close are we to world peace" or at least how close is the US to pulling out its troops and sending them to africa to dig wells and solve world hunger. or how close are we to africa not being a third world country anymore. or how close are we to using up our coal reserves.
America already digs water wells in Africa. We're also the largest supplier of food to 3rd world countries. But we're probably not going anywhere until the terrorists disband, or we kill enough of them that they aren't a real problem anymore. There's no such thing as complete world peace. But today, the average persons chances of dying by violent means has never been lower.
@@lordgarion514 i know they already do but cmon, ever since i was a kid there have been bblue peterr water appeals and campaign commercials everywhere, and when i hear the US military budget and dont see mucch justification for the amountt of wars theyre actively participating in (uk too) i justt find it hard to not criticise the country budgets priorites
I think the heavy balls in fabric is an incredibly bad representation of gravity. Seeing as different density around the earth effects gravity, its not like a single point creating a well.
A model is a model. It's not going to be exact and that is okay. The vast majority of people will never have to deal with problems involving Earth's non-uniform gravity. It would be like teaching the orbital model of the atom before the ball-and-stick model.
I think the depth and secrets of the ocean should stay secrets. Once people find out what's at the bottom of the ocean they're gonna want to hunt it to extinction and exploit it for money.
When the unique life around geothermal vents were discovered some people saw nickel nodules, and wanted to drag mine it. The vents, and unique life would be destroyed. They received venture capital, and were about to do it. I don't know if it was stopped. Much would be lost forever so a few who didn't care could get rich. There's your answer. What many want can be destroyed by a few when it comes to money.
After you guys finish, when are you planning to do it again? If you only map it one time, then you cannot compare and understand the changes and movements. How long its gonna take for the second time?
