@th8452 Год назад

@@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.

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.

@Morisu-Chan 3 года назад

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.

@Soum.i 2 года назад

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.

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.

@Etheoma 2 года назад

@@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.

All true, but most of these are hypotheticals and were never meant to see actual construction.

Usually to make whatever they actually pitch seem reasonable by comparison or gain the firm that pitched the idea some notoriety and free marketing.
