Could we have like a series about what happens on the moon afterward? Spin-offs? - SO. MANY. SPIN OFFS.

FINALLY FIXED!!!! RU-vid Editor glitched out and this video was unlisted for a bit. It's all back and fixed now, thanks for being patient. Enjoy the show!
This is a question I’ve never asked, but I in fact never knew I needed the answer to. Thank you Wren for reporting only the highest of intellectual questions!
Dude right? This was awesome to think about. Especially when he went into the fact another object would be in space looking back at us; this was running through my head as soon as we got started - especially since that's how our moon was formed.
Wren is genuinely the greatest asset Corridor has. Seems like he constantly has ideas for interesting videos and they all convey his vision and the points of the videos perfectly.
Most people ask "Why" or "Why not?" Wren is like the drive thru lady in "Dude, Where's My Car." What if the Universal logo was real? Wren: "And then?" Scientifically what would that mean? Wren: "And then?" Uh....what's the worst case scenario of this? Wren:" . . . . . And.......THEN??????" That's the video? Wren: "And then?????"
Where are you going after you die? What happens next? Have you ever thought about that? Repent today and give your life to Jesus Christ to obtain eternal salvation.

I can say with certainty that the Universal Logo that was introduced about 25 years ago or so was made of Solid Brass - about 1.25 inches thick. I made them for the design studio that was commissioned to create the new Universal opening. I used a company that had a Wire EDM machine (Electro Discharge Machining) to cut the letters into separate pieces. It was shot with a motor control camera system that "flew" the letters in one by one , with the proper offset to give the proper spacing for the letters. I would assume that the letters are now on some execs office at Universal . . they were each very heavy !
So it would be a lot lighter in total, but if it ends up melting, doesn't brass give off toxic fumes when it melts? I wonder what impact that would have.
There's a fun story about the opening titles for Waterworld. The concept in those titles is that the Universal logo appears as normal, then the Universal text fades out and the camera starts descending towards Earth while the oceans flood the continents. The VFX company hired to do the opening titles, PSF, assumed that the then current Universal logo (mid-90s) had been done with CGI and asked for the assets to be sent over. They did get the assets sent over - a 4-foot globe encased in a wooden crate. In the end they had to recreate the Earth and surrounding space elements from scratch, with the Universal text carefully rotoed and composited in from a scan of the existing optical title elements.
Only through the movie scientists are debating if its natural or aliens but what they don't know is its the universal logo till the very end of the film.
The Solid Brass Logo that I fabricated for the Universal Studios Logo, was for a company I believe called Studio Effects - they had also been part of the refresh for the Paramount Studios Movie Introduction . This was shot at a facility called the Chandler Stages located in the Marina Del Rey area of LA, where they had the large Motion Control Cameras System that shot the Letters as separate elements. If there was any CGI it would have been in the very early days of Digital Compositing - but that was in post production which I had no involvement.
Universal: The Movie, coming to theaters in 2027 near you. For the people who dared to say: ”you cannot make a movie about Battleship or Tetris”, we say: ”hold on to your inflatable water donuts, for you are in for a surprise!”
Depending on how fast the logo would rotate, people could more efficiently tell the time by looking up into the sky and seeing where the logo is located and what letters are visible.
Since Universal is a movie company, I think the letters should be made as if they are props. My assumption is they would be wood with the minimal amount of internal structure. Gathering enough wood to make that would cause its own set of massive ecological issues.
I saw both show up on my subscriber feed and my first thought was that they happened to have the same idea at the same time before I realized it was a collab...
I love the creativity the led to asking this question, I love Wren’s enthusiastic delivery, and I love that you got a collaboration with Scott Manley! ❤
Dude, you just got so many kids interested in space because of this. I've been into Scott Manley, Marcus House, Fraser Cain, Felix Schlang Joe Scott, Sabine Hossenfelder etc. for years and I'm pretty sure you may have single handedly influenced hundreds of young minds to shape out future. Rock 'n' roll, Wrenski...
Griffin was working on the thumbnail of 2 weeks ago VFX artist react video. It's amazing how much work and time planing is required for these videos. Thanks Wren and CC.
The effect of the Universal Logo orbiting the Earth was shown in the intro to Waterworld (1995). It caused the polar ice caps to melt, flooding the entire planet.
But the nine letters in the 1995 Universal logo were smaller, thinner, and further from the planet. The calculations are made based on the current logo that has been used since 2012... Maybe they weren't so dangerous to the planet back then.
The moment I saw Wren starting with the calculations I thought "Probably Scott will have something to say about it" and then... BAM! Scott helping Wren with the numbers.
There's an additional factor you didn't consider in your renderings. The letters are well within the "Roche limit" of the earth for their masses meaning not just are things on the earth being dragged up into the sky, but the letters are being torn apart by the differential strength of gravity between the near face and far faces of each letter. This would cause molten metal to stream off of the letters into lower orbits, quickly forming an accretion disk around the earth. It isn't just "splashes" of metal from collisions between the letters that will be raining but an entire accretion disk.
I did actually! I calculated the Roche limit for every letter. Because that equation is density based, and because the density ratio we’re dealing with is so extreme, the Roche limit wasn’t actually ever reached! So the letters wouldn’t have turned into an accretion disk! I was a little surprised, as I had plans to make a big shiny disk around earth, and even calculated the diameter at various thicknesses. But in the end it didn’t really feel necessary for this video because by the time the Roche limit was reached, the earth was already melting. And it would’ve been the earth that started breaking up, not the platinum. Hence why I ended it with the double earth scenario. -Wren
@@CorridorCrew the 'double earth' surprised me. I figured the two spheres would just combine and Earth after it cooled in probably a million years would have a massive platinum core. I guess because the letters are in geosynchronous orbit they had enough momentum to keep separated? The atmosphere would have slowed them down a bit, especially since their own gravity would increase the drag, gravitational drag is a thing, momentum energy would transfer from one body to another. I still applaud you on a very complex simulation. This is normally given to supercomputers to figure out.
I started watching it last night. There was a clip right before the Corridor logo pops up where you can see the logo moving in the sky. I think RU-vid cut the video part out for copyright reasons.
Reminds me of how in “The Flintstones: Viva Rock Vegas”in which Gazoo stares out the UFO’s window and says “Did anybody else see those big letters flying by?”
It would be nice to know how things would have turned out, if the logo was assumed to be hollow (which would be more realistic, if it were actually build).
No known material could support a structure this big. It will be pulled apart by the earth's, the moon's and the sun's gravity while also collapsing under it's own. Debris rain down on earth as a less devastating but still a potentially civilisation ending meteor shower. The end.
@@ifallious then whatever you want to happen would happen. Also op asked for a "realistic" take on the idea, so i pumped out something more or less realistic.
So 0:01 nobody else that Wren pushes open the roof access door with the label "DO NOT go onto the roof for any reason except emergency", just to do an intro to a video...?
I just checked like 4 videos, for some reason the audio is off on this video by like 10 seconds but literally no comments about it. Did no one notice or is yours not doing that?
Would be fun to make a movie that starts with the universal logo as usual but the earth in the back reacts correctly and goes all kinds of crazy and then it slowly zooms in to focus on a certain spot with protagonists. Would be a cool oner (single camera take, no cuts).
I know your scenario was using some magic force to keep the logo (generally) in place, but it would be fun to see it play out all the way. The logo is well within the Roche limit so it would be ripped apart and rain down on Earth, but as it did, it would also fall closer to Earth and have greater gravitational impact as the center of the letters mass descended. There would be a point where the remnants of the letters would have greater local gravitational pull than the Earth from the surface of Earth, though it would probably be VERY brief. Of course, that one's not so easy of a calculation. You might have to get Scott to take over the spreadsheet at that point.
The problem with the idea that everything would fly up is that it’s only possible if the logo weighed more than the Earth. Even if it’s on top of your head, as long as it’s even just a little bit lighter than Earth, you will not be sucked up onto it.
When a company decides to contact Corridor for promotion, you get an educational science video to a question you never thought you needed the answer to
What a fascinating thought experiment. I've always had a deep appreciation of movie studio logos in how they are the very few animated company logos (as in in motion, not just CGI type of animation). Also, being how many studios are over a century old, it's a great time capsule seeing how their logos evolved over that time.
What's up with the video footage itself? I've hit pause/play and refreshed many times but it's almost like a completely different video is playing from the audio. It's a struggle to keep my eyes on this.
To everyone talking about desync, they changed the video. They had a clip at the beginning where the universal logo is above Wren in the sky, and they seem to have cut it out after it might have brought down view times and people clicked off the video saying, “well that’s what it looks like.” But they somehow forgot to change the audio of the clip, and hence the “oh my!” at the start, as there was a shot of Wren looking at the logo above.
Lol so they had to edit their own video to try and scum for more views and clicks? It's like stretching videos out for 10 minutes to hit that ad revenue money. That's just sad and lame of them...plus it just screwed everything up, sooo...good job being terrified of not getting money and clicks? That really worked out... It's also not going to even work on me because I'm just gonna skip ahead to where I see the universal logo anyways lol.
This opens so many more questions! Like what if hallow? What if different metal? Like what if helium balloons?What if they had alien tech to keep them all separated? What if the old logo was used? What would moon be like? Who built it? Who sent it?
Wren / Corridor, your audio isnt synced to your video. Im not seeing any comments about it so maybe the issue is recent - but the entire video -save for the intro- is totally out of sync. I thought it was bc i was rendering - but I loaded the video on my phone using mobile data just incase it was my internet - definitely have an issue here.
I liked the part where you mentioned that the equator was due south of LA. Yeah, that’s how the entire northern hemisphere works, actually. AND the equater is also SW, SE, SSW, SSE, etc of LA.
So I once wrote a short story about basically that. It focused in 2 different groups of characters, one being the usual disaster movie group of scientists, discovering a massive, earth-destroying asteroid coming straight at us, and another being a group of aliens attempting an emergency landing in earth. Those perspectives were simultaneous, intending to make the reader think the aliens are inside the asteroid, and that's their ship. Buuut plot twist: the asteroid hit billions of years ago, and the impact made another earth-like moon orbiting the first earth, and the aliens are from that moon, in the first space mission coming down to the main planet. So both perspectives are separated by like billions of years. I should actually rewrite that into a decent story/book, since it was just a scribbled mess in one of my school notebooks. But would make for a cool movie I think.
