@@khiljinagor8976 Let me tell you, there is a state in the world which has actively sought a proverbial 'kill-switch' to , if and when needed, can silence the whole internet in one fell swoop. This state I'm talking about has channelled great resources towards this goal. Who knows how far their plans have advanced.

It's less expensive to make reality bull crap tv then documentaries

@@TheGeraford13 Very true. That's why reality shows became so popular. Dirt cheap to produce and make a lot of money. Documentaries=expensive to produce and don't make a lot of money (with the odd exception like say, March of the Penguins).

@@MrBilld75 Based on what statistics? From what I've read, documentaries get plenty of viewers. At least enough to beat out 90% of the crap "fakeality" series that nobody watches. For every "Pawn Stars" raking in the dough there's 10 "Alaskan Hillbillies" or "Big Timber" which nobody really care about. So it's not like making reality TV is somehow easy as pie. The only answer, then, is that the network TV bosses would rather foist reality TV because it's simpler to make (not easier or cheaper) instead of coming up with unique ideas every week for a serial documentary. Paid TV subscriptions peaked in 2011 and have consistently tanked every year since. Is it any wonder? They're just lazy. And look, now we're watching the documentaries they can't be bothered to show, here, instead.

@@Mavendow Yeah, I agree and I meant cheaper than paying real actors, more than anything. Not necessarily cheap or easy to produce. I'm sure it takes as much effort to film some reality series as it does some documentaries. I was speaking more from special effects/post production and salary perspective.

🤣

Yes I’ve worked in the woods and built road but nothing like this I would have loved to be there working

As a Physics teacher in high schools for 20 years, here in Australia, let me reply. We commend and acknowledge the skills this man had in driving a dozer in such conditions, undoubtedly with great skills and much understanding of gravity, mass, momentum , velocity, inertia, etc. However, it is an extension to say he knows a lot about Physics, when the subject involves the study of matter and its interaction with forces. I would hardly expect him to explain even the most basic of Physics ideas unless he studied it and taught it. So I do disagree with you that he would know much about Physics. He obviously is well versed in the use of machinery, landform, how to move matter, etc. I could not imagine he could explain magnetic or electric theory, nor the theory of matter.

I meant he has an outstanding knowledge in reference to the scope of his job this job. Is he a physicist obviously not. However There is a lot of physics Involved in this sort of operation.Maybe you should climb in a D10 dozer and point it straight up-and-up the mountain. This is real world physics not Is theoretical.

@@jahbay I would certainly agree with you he was an amazing road builder, who took risks, and knew his equipment and its limitations.

@@jahbay no. It's like saying that Badminton / Basketball / Football players are masters at Parabolic Motion calculation. They are not. They have however, honed their muscle movement to the desired specification that allows them to have precise control over their movement and the movement of the balls they're playing with, but they wouldn't be able to explain the details to any layman, unless they also educate themselves on the theoretical and number crunching side of physics. Their muscle and nerves do not recognize the concept of "numbers" whenever they perform high level athletic feat. They just DO it. What you call "real life physics" aren't actually "physics" They are just how the world works. Physics is the STUDY in which one explores the fundamentals of these real life phenomenon and try to make sense of them through numbers.

How do you get a job there

@@michaelbryant9957 I worked for Bechtel who built the original plant but also did a big expansion in the late 90s. I was there in the late 90s. Unless you are Indonesian, it is unlikely you will get a role in operations unless you have some specialist skills they need. It is not an easy life there (well wasn't when I was there) - you live in shared accommodation (unless management) ~10,000' above sea level and work at 12000' to 14k' - always out of breath etc

What does it look like day? Would think the whole island is below sea level now

@@johncuervo3019 The mountains are over 4000m so I'm pretty sure it is still above the sea.

Nothing lasts forever. Those mountains would eventually erode away like countless other mountains before.

Me too!

what have they achieved? did the indigenous people get the wealth? do you realize the damage mining does to the environment? the chemicals etc.....and how it takes the total destruction of the mountain to get anything..since tons of the mountain must be ground up to get an ounce of gold....maybe you should go watch a few documentaries of how mining has destroyed the environment and killed 10's of thousands of poor people caught in mans "achievement"...for personal wealth at any cost.......

@@jadezee6316 We are taking different perspectives, on the matter.

Its truly a wonder you can sleep at night, given the vast number of Papuans who have been killed, maimed and dispossessed all because of that accursed mine!! .

SHAMEFUL, EVIL TO THE HUMAN CORE

for me mostly is that they destroy such a beautiful place, clean water, most likely able to just drink it as it is, then we hardly have any non toxic fish anymore, radioactive fish in the Pacific due to Fukushima and the old ways of dumping nuke waste in barrels and they are leaking, in this place you could have eaten healthy fish. We could help others in need by showing them in their countries how to best build up ways to get water to drink and grow food.

@@edwardtapia8954 a little bit of concentrated digging is far from destroying Earth, especially when volcanism and plate tectonics haven't exaclty ended. I'd be actually worried if one of these modern day tycoons attempted such though. They definitely have a knack for literally actually stepping on the indigenous folk and really dirtying things up.

Yes omg yes

And when the rights of local living people, safety measures and ecological impact are completely ignored. They dump the tailings right in the watershed - I would be astounded if they have not poisoned the whole river valley by now. Something like this can only be economically viable if MANY corners are cut.

The high prices have made everything possible.

What about copper?...We use that right?...What about silver? those two metals are a billion times more important than gold...Gold is just a cherry on the top...
