@@NoProtocol Hi. That picture of a meteorologist, Michael Fish was there as he made the most memorable UK Weather Forecast ever in the 1980s by chuckling that some people had asked if a hurricane (in The UK !!) was on its way and he dismissed their "nonsense". Soon afterwards......came the hurricane
6:22 “Continental drift forecast with Michael Fish” is a reference to weatherman Michael Fish who assured viewers that there would not be a hurricane the day before the UK was hit by a storm with 120mph winds in 1987. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eKPQLl5rupg.html
0:58, the reason this region uses “ü” is due to the ethnic Turkic Uyghurs living there, there’s some controversy over the Chinese government’s handling of the people there though. It’s interesting you mention pinyin though because I haven’t really looked into the alphabets of Western China, you’ve made me curious. 😭 I’m gonna go down a wiki rabbit hole now.
"ü" is a legitimate pinyin letter in Mandarin also. The sound /y/ exists in Mandarin and German, so the Chinese borrowed the German representation of the sound. Fun fact: computer text entry usually substitutes a "v" for "ü" to make it simpler. For example, donkey: 驴子 is lüzi in pinyin. (I'm neglecting the tone markers because I can't be bothered). As Uigur is a Turkic language, that sound will also be represented.
@@johnmassey2980he's actually right. Plus if you are going to just say "no you're wrong" show the person how and why.... No isn't an argument it's a statement with nothing to back it up 🤷
@@oddpoppetesq.3467 Really? If he's right, give me some Pinyin words that include the umlaut - right now, not in 6 months when you have had time to dig around in dusty tomes. If you can't, you are wrong. I know it is wrong because I have lived in China for a very long time, and I have *never* seen a word written in Pinyin which uses the umlaut. Maybe it was included in some theoretical system in 2015 or whatever, but no one uses it. So he's wrong, and I don't have to prove to you that he's wrong, because I know he is. Odd poppet LOL.
@@johnmassey2980Most of the time the "ü" is unnecessary as "u" after most consonants only have one sound (like the "xū" in " 玩具 (xūyào)") but after "n" and "l", "u" can be pronounced differently: like in "努 (nǔ)" or "女 (nǚ).
It's England he's driving through. Right hand drive, white front plate with black letters, brick semi detached house are all evidence enough without the overall dull grey sky we have that no other country seems to be able to match.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but here in Australia, we also have right hand drive, white plates with black letters (as popular options in several states) and yellow and black letters as the first couple of cars had, and areas of brick semi-detached as well. But considering Uluru was green screened, I'd say you're right.
@@mudcrow we have snow in Australia as well! Just not where our brick semi-detached's are, but definitely have those number plates in our alpine areas.
Every single time I watch your videos... I simply can't resist the urge to give a "like" just for the fast no-nonsense intros. The best marketing strategy, astonishing!
6:25 this is a reference to Michael Fish the British weather presenter who told the country there was no storm coming right before we had the worst storms in history. The public never forgave him although I think nearly 40 years later he is due a pass.
9:11 The head is bigger because we stop natural gestation. Reproduction is done in vitro and the fetus is brought to term in an artificial womb. Without the selective pressure of natural, live birth keeping heads to a certain birthable size, head sizes increase.
a recomendation for expeculative future humanity books would be Children of time and Children of ruin by Adrian Tchaikovsky, humans arent even half of the main characters lol which makes it more fun. I don't think it's as far as Pangea reuniting in the future, but it's pretty far.
For music, I highly recommend 'Ren, Love Music Parts 1, 2 & 3' He is a future worldwide star, but he self produces and publishes, so he is ignored by general media.
Have you considered reacting to some historic civilis? Just choose whatever video you find interesting of his, otherwise I would suggest reacting to his videos; longest year in history, Work or Bronze Age collapse
That was fun. BTW, about 70 years ago, EC Comics (Mad Magazine, etc.) did a bit about how humans would look in the future. I don't remember all the details, but one thing I do recall was that we would have huge heads on tiny, scrawny bodies (almost the opposite of what the AI model said). It was because we didn't have to do any physical labor; the robots would do it all for us. We didn't bother to exercise or play sports. We did everything in our heads with virtual reality, so our brains became enormous. Of course, in that comic book, it was all done with humor, but it's interesting to note that was done a long time ago, before we had the concept of virtual reality, and that the conclusion about the size of our heads was the opposite of the model you referenced.
Always fun speculating. Book suggestions: “The Peace War,” and “Marooned In Real-time,” by Vernor Vinge. Both are fascinating sci-fi, though only the second book deals with long term changes in the Earth.
I always think that in the next millennium, if humans do become an interplanetary species, then humans on each planet will evolve in such a way where humans from each planet will look alien to each other in some way. Maybe not overly drastically, but similar to the way that all the Star Trek humanoid aliens look similar. I think that would be cool.
you suggesting Ross from friends in the end really surprised me! 😊I remember him just throwing unofficial releases on YT ❤ Another that melts my heart is Dj Seinfeld , in particular the album "Time Spent Away From U" (please let me know your impressions 😉)
so... did you notice that, in their representations of the 11 supercontinents that have formed in earth's history, they included the Bat Signal, a pineapple, and what looks like a little girl with horns (I suspect that may be the shape of some anime character I'm not familiar with)?
4:21 . That giggle...I might be sapiosexual, and you mylady have a very attractive mind. The way you express your curiosity compliments it well, too. I'm sorry if it sounds weird, I mean it in the best way possible. It's so refreshing hearing coherent talking in the present internet landscape. Never change and keep learning!

Still a beautiful woman, she's in the last Resident Evil film and a great little film called Crawl, also, the Pirates franchise. I was sweet on the girl who was a kinda ditzy hippy girl, can't remember her name, she went on to a big part in Game of Thrones.
Pacemakers, hip replacements, artificial organs, spinal bridges plus many, many other operations exist and have done for years, what's scary about it?. Our purpose here is to give birth to artificial life, may as well reap the benefits, I'd happily exchange part or all of my weak flesh bag for machine.
War Of The Worlds is a brilliant novel and musical, the films are okay. I hope you get to read, listen and watch them all someday. Great video, if only because it was so very British.
by that time davros would have turned us all into daleks., who knows what the future holds,mondas may even return and we all become cybermen,mondas was earths twin planet.
I think interstellar is the most likely path and there's loads of time to figure it out. When Andromeda collides, we'll be ok. Then when the sun goes red giant, we'll drift off into the unknown without an atmosphere. Still, 5 billion years is a pretty sweet deadline. I don't think humans will evolve to contort around devices (if we still have smartphones in 1000 years, we're doing something wrong). But I do want knives and forks for fingers and a glow-in-the-dark nose. That'd be ace.
As soon as we can replace body parts and augment ourselves I'll be first in line, though I'll probably be long gone by then!. I'm a transhumanist, always have been. Flesh is outdated, machine is the future.
A book recommendation you will I suppose have to use the old fashioned method of reading for yourself but worth the effort is A UK authour Stephen Baxter's sequel to HGvWells' The Time Machine, called Time Ships. Its a giant size novel from 1991. We learn more about our traveler and he learns the quantum nature of time. A whole new future, past and time scales that span the Universe and beyond. When I say this book has adventure, hard science based Sci Fi, and scope while getting the people and small human scale right, I mean it. Epic story that could be told across multiple movies to do it justice. 5 stars from me (and I am choosy).
4:44 The number plate looks European, it seems to have the blue edge on it prevalent in all European union countries. By the make and model of car plus the building work behind it I'd hazard a guess that he is in Britain. That's what I'd punt for on geoguesser if I was only given that screen shot
I don't think there was or will be a continent shaped like the Bat-symbol (3:57).😁 There are a couple of videos from Geography by Geoff and MegaBuilds respectively, that looked interesting: "Why So Few Americans Live in Kentucky as Compared to Tennessee" and "Mexico's $4.5BN Panama Canal Rival."
They've already tried the goggles thing, didn't take. We'd need a massive shift in tech but contact lenses with nano computers in would probably be more viable.
Wikipedia does not say about the Gurbantünggüt Desert itself but it includes the Uyghur city of Ürümqi which got its name from the Mongolian Oirat dialect.
Won't the sun burn out before the continents shift that far? Because if the planet ices over that will surely impact hiw the plates shift. I have a book recommendation. "Feed" by M.T. Anderson. Its about a future dystopian where we have microchips in our brains. Technology improves but humanity devolves. It reads something like "Brave New World" but more plausible to happen. Even the way the characters speak devolves a bit too, lots of futurustic slang.
I've seen videos that go into the phases of the sun and they project that due to a combination of orbital eccentricity and the sun's luminosity increasing as it ages, that the Earth will be uninhabitable by most current species (humanity included) within the next 80 million years or so, so we'll need to evolve along with the changes to the environment over time, or go interstellar well before then. Fortunately we seem to have a bit of time left.... ETA, and as charg1 says ... the sun itself has about 6 billion years left. It will likely eat the Earth a couple billion years before it burns out, so... yeah, the sun will outlast us for sure.
It all makes sense, but in Auripanultimasia, will the Earth still be flat, or will it weirdly morph into... ...hear me out, Some bizarre new shape, such as an ellipse or sphere?
6:23 BRITISH INJOKE ALERT! BBC weather forecaster Michael Fish (pictured to the sentient eyebrows’ left) famously predicted the storms of 1987 to be unfounded. The same storm which left houses destroyed and Gordon Kay of ‘Allo, ‘Allo fame with a ‘house for sale’ sign stuck in his head (he survived, as did Michael Fish’s career).
The best way for humanity to ensure survival long-term is probably interstellar colonisation so that even if one place falls prey to war, pollution, natural disasters, etc. - not all our species eggs are in one planetary basket. Scatter across the stars and hope that at least some live on - somewhere.
I don't think they do use umlauts in Pinyin, I suspect that's a transliteration from a Turkic language place name and Turkic-Latin transliterations do seem to use umlauts fairly often
9:00 is that how evolution works? If I develop ‘smartphone elbow’ I’m not going to pass it on to my kids, am I? If I break my leg then breed, my kid doesn’t have a broken leg does it? Am I missing something and being dumb? 😂
Unless having a wonky elbow is a mutation that just happens to help us survive by making smartphone use easier? Edit: Also, I know we’ve been saying it for the past 50 years, but surely it’ll be just chips in our brain by then, rather than “using a phone” 😊
Pinyin does not use umlauts. The name of the Gurbantünggüt Desert in Pinyin is Gǔ'ěrbāntōnggǔtè Shāmò. The desert also has Kazhak, Uyghur and Mongolian names. The closest I can get to the presumably internationally recognised name is the Uyghur Qurbantüngghüt Qumluqi. I presume geographers and map makers don't just use the Uyghur name because they can't pronounce it.
Not to be nit-pickey, but in 1000 years, humans will probably look essentially the same as we do now. Evolution doesn't really happen that fast. We've been relatively unchanged for 200,000 to 300,000 years so far. Also, it's unlikely there will be any further speciation, since we are now such a global species that isolation really doesn't happen anymore. In the far future, if we ever do learn to master interstellar travel and colonize other worlds, it's pretty much a given that humans will begin to speciate. That's assuming we don't wipe ourselves out long before then, of course.
Or rather have certain books downloaded into your brain FOR you by the state. Force fed the info and your opinion on said information more likely. Deleting things the authorities don't want. Like populism, individualism, love of freedom... Hard Pass.
They cant predict the weather accurately and we are to believe someone has accurately forecast where everything is going to end up in 250 million years lol
