The Deep: Exploring Earth’s Last Frontier

#briangreene #ocean #water
For centuries, humans believed the deep sea was lifeless, but new technologies have revealed that this previously hidden realm is home to rich ecosystems, mineral treasures, and an astounding kaleidoscope of life. Oceanographer Dr. Vicki Ferrini, marine biologist Dr. Helen Scales, and explorer Victor Vescovo join Brian Greene for a journey to Earth’s final frontier where for the first time we are discovering what lies beneath the oceans.
This program is part of the Big Ideas series, supported by the John Templeton Foundation.
Participants:
Dr. Vicki Ferrini, Oceanographer
Dr. Helen Scales, Marine Biologist
Victor Vescovo, Explorer
Moderator:
Brian Greene

Thank you for your work in bringing us this amazing content.

[@conorosullivan3795]

I just wish to share my total love and respect to you all for everything you are doing !! - This documentary/film should be rolled out to the masses so that many can have a deeper appreciation of the important things humanity as a whole needs to gain a true understanding for - so, well done to you all.. it is true brilliant efforts from you all / TREPANIC ;)

Wonder why we haven't heard more about Vicki,Hellen and Victor's research and findings in main stream news?? These people and their research are crucial. Victor needs more funding to get his research teams a couple more ultra deep dive subs...and for research. This is as important as the space race. Hope they have more of their research on, very interesting.

[@Donate_Please]

I guess the question is - "Will humans destroy the ocean before we find anything useful." And it's probably a good thing we haven't explored it much. It may be the only place we have left to survive once the surface is unhabitable. There may be some lost ancient civilizations at the bottom of the ocean that have done just that. Our technologies at this time can't properly map the ocean floor anyway.

[@katiekat4457]

Climbing mountains is an expensive sport. I don't think astronauts get paid heaps and heaps of money and yet this guy has $50,000,000 initially to build his submersible to nicely share with the world. Incredible.

I hope to see a panel more about sustainability, the future of our planet, green energy and other earth science?

RNA world vs. Hydrothermal vents is a Harvard Exo-planet course topic also, and it may be both evolving together. When we see how the sulpher from Io is volcanically in both Jupiter`s orbit and also onto Europa`s surface of redlines, we see Ganymede survives the red dousing. Do we look to Ganymede moreso for life beyond severe dumping from Io?

[@dmand1111]

That sonar that must be used, i would imagine it would have to be very powerful. I know sound travels much differently in water. Does this effect ocean animals like dolphins and whales? I would think it could cause quite the headache or even make them loose their sense of direction. I have always been fascinated by what is down there, I hope we can do it without hurting anything.

[@istvansipos9940]

does a flashlight affect the human eye? Of course, sonar affects animals using their own "sonar". The debatable and debated part: HOW bad does it affect them? Hard to know for a few reasons. limited funding for those studies, and the studies and experiments could harm those animals, too.

[@dmand1111]

@@istvansipos9940 just wow. They don't care who or what gets hurt. Did you see the water being displaced around the boat like someone just dropped it into the ocean? That's got to be one heck of a sonar blast. It's extremely disheartening the answer you have given. There's a difference between the sonar this type of boat is using and the power that it needs to penetrate deep trenches compared to other submarines and boats using the technology. I'm not one of those people that goes and glues myself to a painting in a museum and even I find this Reckless and dangerous

[@davidgabra1609]

similarly i'm wnodering what the lights used to record images do to the visual organs of these creatures who are only used to the faintest of light

[@dmand1111]

@@davidgabra1609 I have often wondered that as well. These creatures are immersed in absolute Darkness and to all of a sudden have a spotlight shined on them it must be the equivalent of stepping out of a hot tub into negative 30° weather

[@ericgraham8150]

Yes, we have mounting evidence that military sonar is VERY harmful to undersea animals, specifically Whales and Dolphins. We are no longer in doubt about this... Basically, they freak out- and swim violently away from the sonar pulse, to the point of causing damage to the animals, or even causing the whales to beach themselves.

And scientist as a whole great job it will contribute a lot to my dream submarine thanks..

[@c.l.gurbin-cl9pm]

Not all people see a Chuckwagon vs. Russian Sub tech parallel, but the technology is a situational one. Prairie schooners were multi-purpose tools, and the ability to travel under the sixty foot ice waves of the Arctic waters have led Russians to make sub technologies. This may be why Russians at times understand space better as an extreme terrain. 🙂.

The portion about the many things that have been intentionally and unintentionally dumped at sea was important to know. We humans only evolved recently. The concept of what it means to be human is only recently connected to evolution. It would be wonderful if we figure out how to be stewards of this planet. It would be wonderful if we could figure out how to live with each other. Sadly the invasion of Ukraine is taking place. The term ecocide is now in our vocabulary. It would be wonderful if the planet itself is resilient enough to survive our learning curve.
