@Adam Cronin Hey Adam, thanks so much for the kind words! 😁 I wish I was the one capturing the footage, but I source it from a number of marine exploration organisations like NOAA, MBARI and so on, typically from ROV dive recordings (footage taken by robots they send down to record biodiversity and take samples).

He took a lot of inspiration from Tibetan mysticism, going as far as coining the term "thoughtform" directly from the Tibetan mystical term _tulpas_ in which one forms alternate realities when faced with too much trauma. They call it _fugue_ in psychology, a term David Lynch uses very often. Lynch likewise makes frequent use of Tibetan _tulpas_ in his work, especially Inland Empire and his Twin Peaks.

[@bethwilliams4903]

The narrator is a young man, Leo Richard’s, he has been involved in these science films since he was a child, apparently, from his LinkedIn pix I’d say he’s no more than 20; I love his narration. I’ve taught for years and I’ve heard more poor and completely inadequate speakers than even passable ones, he has good phrasing, his voice neither too deep nor too high - maturity may change that, a man at 20 does not sound the same as at 40 or 60. Most of all he has enthusiasm, he is utterly fascinated by his Subject and yet he does not get overwhelmed by it. On YT I also like Pete Kelly’s History Time (wide variety of topics), his accent is so familiar to me now that I smile remembering when I first heard him, wondering, is he from Yorkshire? He has exceptional phrasing too, different topics however. Dan Davis is another who covers mostly ancient topics as research for his books, he has a deep, commanding voice and his research on par with Mr Richard’s here - lastly, a quirky podcast is Toldinstone, from Prof Garrett Ryan out of Chicago, great sense of humour, all his topics are Ancient Rome (sometimes Greece) and usually connected to architecture but peripherally - he is quite amusing and fairly young (30’s?) His voice does take some getting used to as he is a professional academic and has been in front of lecture halls with half asleep students (half sober???) but he’s highly worth your time. Of these gentlemen I’d say Mr Richard’s here is closest to poetic, Ryan a cut-up and Kelly someone with whine I’d love to go hiking thru the Welsh mountains!

[@beazrich2.017]

I am more freaked out that if you’re diving near an oceanic abyssal drop off (Yes like the drop off from Finding Nemo), you could be pulled down into the abyss by strong underwater currents aka down currents and never get back up that wall. It’s also where a lot of predatory sharks hang out.

[@nickie7874]

@@beazrich2.017 Sounds like nightmare material!

[@beazrich2.017]

@@nickie7874 Well, it’s an example of why you NEVER dive alone. It’s not the sharks that are your primary problem, it’s the currents, running low on oxygen etc. I imagine most people would never go near oceanic abyssal drop offs especially ones like the Grand Turk drop off of the Virgin Islands, or the Eagle Ray Pass Drop off of Grand Cayman where the islands are formed from the formation of the Cayman Trench. Luckily, most oceanic abyssal drop offs especially ones off continental land are so far out that most divers don’t have to worry about down currents etc. But oceanic abyssal drop offs are 90% likely to be as close as 5 yards from the shoreline. Hawaii, Caribbean, Bahamas, Mariana islands, Indonesia etc are examples of the oceanic abyssal drop off being not that far from the shoreline as opposed to a continental land like North America, where the oceanic abyssal drop off is 200 miles out from the shoreline etc.

Those men aboard the Trieste were something else. I remember reading about it. In the article it mentioned that the only way that they would discover a pin prick sized leak in the metal sphere would be the moment a limb of their body would be separated by it. As the insane pressure behind it would cut through them like a nearly invisible laser beam. And although the window cracked, they persevered and continued their quest. When it was time to rise back to the surface, they disconnected the wires to a battery that powered an electromagnet. This magnet held on to the iron ballast on the bottom of the submersible. Even though the ballast dropped to the ocean floor.. the Trieste just refused to rise.. It took another breathtaking moments before she slowly inched her way back to the top. Just astounding.

[@leecowell8165]

it was interesting.. know how it stayed afloat? That big tank was full of GASOLINE. which is slightly lighter than water but NOT compressible.. just like water. and that's what supported the bathysphere that hung under it. to rise out of the depths they just dropped some lead. the big question of the day was HOW did they drop that lead? I would think they had some batteries on board that supplied a current that held magnets. lose the current and the magnets dropped their loads. I cannot imagine any other way that would be absolutely safe. that thing had to have a lotta battery power.. looked at the design. basically that's what it was but it used pellets instead of a block. they were held in containment by magnets. so if it lost the magnets the pellets would drop out and the thing would rise to the surface.

It isn't really if you think about it. Planets and moons are fairly easy to observe compared to the deep ocean, not that much in the way. And it's also possible they are far simpler, possibly just interesting rocks in space. Then again, such statements are fairly vague. We can't know how much we really know because we haven't explored everything yet. There might not be that many more discoveries waiting in the ocean while it might be so that we barely scratched the surface of the planets (quite literally). Personally, I think you're right that there is more to find out about oceans than there is about planets and moons in the Solar System, but we wouldn't know for sure.
