Thought I would hop into the comments and say thanks to everyone for your patience as I've been slower on the uploads this month. And also (grab a kleenex), this is the last video that you will see with this background. I've got a whole new set that I've built and I've already got a couple videos shot with it that will start rolling out on April 3rd. So say goodbye to the IKEA shelf and get ready to say hello to... well, another IKEA shelf. 😄 Can't wait for you to see it. Lots of cool stuff on the way. Love you guys.
One day I was walking my dog next to a frozen lake... and suddenly a very deep, very loud sound "appears". I wouldn't say that I "hear" it... to be more exact... I would say that I "felt" it... I felt it inside me and everywhere. Of course that left me in shock... I had never heard anything like this in my life... and I have never heard it again. I am not able to express the depth of that sound. It was like being in a movie. I didn't imagine it because my dog listen it too. I'm not sure what I heard... but I think what happened is that the lake was thawing... and I think what produced the sound was the entire surface of the lake descending a few cm and reverberating like a gigantic drum. Nature is really amazing
Warmer fluids dissolve fewer gases, could have been a release of gas under the ice as the water warms. Definitely would need more information to know for certain.
I know you probably won't see this. But i'm currently 17, i've been watching you since i was 12, and you've helped me get through a lot of things. Whenever you don't post anything i actually watch a lot of your old or past videos, and i go to sleep while listening to your videos even though i've seen them a million times already. I just wanted to let you know that there are people out there who absolutely love you, and there are people who's lives have been influenced by you. I hope that one day i can meet you and let you know in person how much you have helped me
Thank you for mentioning Cthulhu. As a lifelong fan of Lovecraft, Cthulhu has always been my tongue-in-cheek explanation for anything weird. Phnglui w'gah nagl fhtagn.
Life has been a bit rough for awhile now and having your weekly 15 minutes of chatting helps a ton. Seeing a new vid in my subscriptions today brought me so much comfort.
@Joe Scott there is a massive RU-vid audience for quality and thought provoking content on paleoanthrropology I would love to see you make some videos on the subject and see what your ideas about the new studies
@@squirlmy the recent homo naledi papers may have completely upended decades of established thought on the subject... and essentially all of our models are pure conjecture so it's a ripe field for intrigue
This is a very entertaining and thoughtful video. Thank you! One helpful grammar tip: Use "farther" for distance, as in "Sound waves travel farther in water than they do in air." Use "further" for just about everything else. As in: "These night courses will further my criminology education." Or "The further I get into this story, the more confused I become." All good wishes.
When looking for a solution to mysterious underwater sounds, the best method is to use Occam's Razor; which in this case leads to the answer that it's an interdimensional city phasing back into our spacetime and the pressure of the displaced water causes the noise. 😛
Fun fact! Julia has a chorus effect guitar pedal named after it, made by Walrus Audio! I have one and it very much captures the spirit of the Julia sound. It just a LITTLE different than other chorus effects
Hello Joe! I am really curious about the sounds of the ocean during the pandemic when all the shipping traffic was quiet. I tried to attempt to research this but hit a bunch of dead ends.
Very curious and interesting, as per usual! I have a question though: a lot of the sounds you mention were first recorded in 1997. Was that the year the array was built across the sea floor or was that just a particularly terrifying period for marine science? Keep up the good work!
The sounds on your video scared my dogs enough so I had to pause and take them outside to brush off the uneasiness. I thought this is scary stuff for humans only, but apparently we're not alone in this. Thank for the video, great work!
He waits dreaming until the time when the stars are right, when he will rise from his abyssal tomb, devour his devotees, and subject the rest of humanity to to utter madness before he finally devours them too.
I'm so confused. I got a wicked sense of deja vú watching this and could have sworn you already did a video on the bloop, now I don't know where I learned about this
Cool story about the thumbnail, I actually met the artist that drew that picture when I was 12-13. We were in Anaheim CA for a goth culture event. I still have his business card in one of my old wallets, it has the same picture on it. Had I known he was a famous online artist I would’ve asked for an autograph 😂
Should be able to triangulate it based on timestamps when it was recorded at each hydrophone. As long as you know the time and location of each hydrophone. Without knowing the exact geography and speed of sound in the various media, you might only locate it to a several kilometer area, but it’s possible.
Thought the same! No idea HOW to do it, but I did think "Can't they (blah blah math math...) and pin down the source location?" (Edit: I can't spell words well today, apparently)
@3:17 It's not "triangulation". A single sensor doesn't know what direction the sound came from, so it can't provide an angle to use for triangulation. Multiple sensors can define an angle, and multiple sensors in more than one position can give you the two necessary for triangulation, but multilateration is easier and more flexible, and requires less hardware.
It's really hard to get used to the fact that out planet is still not criss-crossed by sensors. It feels like it is within reach that we see the whole sky at all times, that we record sounds and other measurables everywhere. How is this still a "national agency has a budget to place 5 sensors for 1 decade which is then cancelled by congress but discovering 100 things we had no idea about". Shame.
12:23 wait but there IS a children’s book about this whale!! It’s called Song For a Whale, and it’s a middle-grade (ages 8-12) book about a deaf girl at a hearing school who does a project about this whale and like, self esteem, uniqueness, connection, etc, and it’s so good :)
@@joescott It probably came from my subconscious then. Been with you for a long time on this wild ride. Yes, a revisit for sure. That stuff is so creepy and cool.
Your multiple Andy Weir plugs got me interested in his other books (I've read The Martian many times), and though Artemis was kinda meh to me, Project Hail Mary was *so good!* I work at a library and Project Hail Mary is one of my go-tos when suggesting books to people. So thanks for your shameless Weir plugs, Joe!
Here's the scoop on shaving: Invest in a good straight razor. There's a learning curve. If you're feeling saucy, learn how to sharpen. That's an even steeper curve. It'll cost, but if taken care of, you'll only need one your whole life and you'll get a better shave than with any store bought razor. If you want to take baby steps, consider a cheap (but good) replaceable blade Kamisori style handle and use something comparable to a Feather proguard blade.
The blurp sounds like a very large methane bubble displacing water on its way to the surface. It’s a scary sound. Such a phenomenon could sink an aircraft carrier so fast that no one would even have time to send out an SOS.
Even if you use a new blade every time you shave and shave once a day you still only spend maybe $50 a year after it’s said and done compared to what you’d be spending on a normal razor it’s still such a good deal. I’ve been happy with it and my shaving has gotten much better.
ChatGPT4, told me what you were going to say before you said it (I searched at the start of the video). This is scary: "Although it is possible for underwater meteor impacts to generate loud sounds, the characteristics of the Bloop and other mysterious underwater sounds mentioned earlier are not consistent with what would be expected from a meteor impact. Meteor impacts, especially those large enough to generate sounds detectable over thousands of kilometers, would also likely leave other evidence, such as seismic activity or signs of impact in the ocean floor. In the case of the Bloop, the sound was determined to be more consistent with an icequake, which occurs when massive icebergs fracture and release energy underwater. In general, when trying to identify the sources of underwater sounds, scientists consider various factors such as frequency, duration, and the pattern of the sound, along with any accompanying geological or oceanographic data. While meteor impacts can create loud underwater sounds, the specific characteristics of the Bloop and other similar sounds suggest that they are not the result of meteor impacts."
You've given me my second favourite word for the week: cryoseism (first being 'polychronicon'). Calling all narrative writers... ✍Thanks also for creating a beautiful new channel for us to enjoy--moving onto your Victorian cures video now.
A large number of permanent hydrophone arrays were installed by various nations during the cold war. There's likely always someone listening to loud noises.
For really smart cephalopods, there’s a book series, Children of Time, by Adrian Tchaikovsky that deals with “uplifted species.” (The first book isn’t cephalopods. But the second book is!)
Another mystery solved...the 52 Hz "Lonely Whale" sound was actually me; emitting a huge sigh of disappointment, upon learning the 'Bloop' did NOT come from the creature in the artist's depiction that bannered this video. And I was so sure...! 😩
0:38 Oh I can explain this, it was me. I was swimming and someone told me that next year was going to be the final season of Seinfeld. I knew I had let out an almighty scream/man yell. But I didn’t think anyone was listening.
They were wrong about the source. That is actually the time and location I was scuba diving after having some crazy spicy baleadas. They were amazing, but I had to replace my wetsuit after that.
Wait so it's always ice? So weird. Also, that location in the Pacific doesn't look like a great area for big icebergs, it's quite a bit away from land.
I got the Henson razor, I find it to be completely inferior to cartridge razors, in terms of how often I cut myself, how often I replace the blades and how many times I must pass over the same area of my face. The only thing that I really like about the Henson razor is how well made it is and how cheap the blades are, but I end up using a new blade for every shave so the savings aren't that huge.
I can deny the sound's 'bloopiness'...I didn't even hear anything...where was the sound? I didn't hear anything at all when the supposed 'sound clip' was 'played'...where was the sound???🤔🤔🤔
Ugh always makes me uneasy haha, I surf fairly often and have gotten comfortable with the tiny tiny section of ocean I swim around in and my kids but god damn the ocean is creepy
I’m surprised no one suggested that it was a sperm whale. Considering they can produce by far the loudest sound from a creature at 235 decibels. So loud that they can literally communicate with other whales on opposite sides of the planet.
15:28 - Hey Joe... Someone's been watching AvE's channel with the "Down in the doobleydoo" comment hahaha 🤔😉👍 But anyway... another interesting video there fella! Love the sense of humour! 😎🇬🇧
