Yuri Lipsky didn't die because he simply ran out of oxygen. He died because he dove too fast and have himself nitrogen narcosis which disoriented him beyond any hope of being able to even tell what direction was up. It happens when you dive too fast and nitrogen bubbles form in your blood stream. So just imagine being blackout drunk 300ft below sea level, his body shut down and thats what caused his death.

[@probablyabott9108]

Not to sound like a dick, I want this to be constrictive criticism but. It's this lack of research and hasty jumps to conclusions that made me dislike your astrophobia video. I really think you'd benefit from hiring an editor to help you fact check the admittedly complicated scientific concepts you cover on your channel, especially with how big you've gotten.

[@Cresendex]

The entire point of that section, was to communicate horrors of people in an environment they weren't built for in this case water. While important to preserve facts, my objective wasn't to provide a comprehensive breakdown for how he died, but even then narcosis was one of several factors that led to his death, the water was one such factor and that's mostly what I chose to focus on, and I didn't think the average viewer would mind nor did I think it would affect the viewing experience. But thanks for pointing it out, I'm still only learning this whole thing and doing it on the side and still don't really know what I'm doing, hopefully I can grow more by fact checking better, but that isn't really an excuse on my end.

And imo what the body goes through during NN makes the whole situation more terrifying. Your vids are great man, I have watched all of them like. I am a fan man, keep it up

[@connorharvey2120]

Fun fact, nitrogen narcosis happens as you go past a certain depth regardless of your dive speed, in deeper waters you need a gas mix instead of regular air to prevent narcosis from occurring 😊

[@SpecialEDy]

Niyrogen Narcosis isnt because nitrogen bubbles form in your blood. Thats the opposite problem, Decompression sickness, barotrauma, or "the Bends". Gases can dissolve into water when they are under pressure, and when the pressure is released the gases evaporate back out. A can of soda is under pressure, when you open the can and release the pressure, the dissolved CO2 bublles out. When you dive under water, your blood begins to dissolve CO2, O2, and N2. The free N2 dissolved in the blood acts as an anesthetic, all gases do except noble gases. When ypu surface too quickly, the dissolved gases can literally bubble out into your blood. You have to decompress, resurfacing slowly, and this is basically waiting for your blood to go "Flat" like a soda left open.

[@reapergirl2529]

both my parents were scuba divers, one being an ocean photographer and the other being an instructor. I brought up the concept of the "call to the void" to my mother and explained to her how it worked. The sudden urge to do something self destructive and for some diving instructors they've seen people inexplicably just, swim, down, far down, making it difficult to get them back. I just wanted to know if my mom had experienced something like that. My mother explained to me how some people don't realize that when there in the ocean there in a 3D world. On land you think of forward, backwards, left and right and rarely every need to think of up or down when physically moving, so when some people go scuba diving for the first few times they forget to take into account that things move overtop of and under them. That's why most diving accidents happen from animals attacking from above or bellow. I don't know why, but that concept kinda terrified me. the same way walking on glass floors or thin wires, the idea that things could be happening LITERALLY all around you is something some people don't realize when thinking of the ocean.

[@amyleah08]

That's really interesting! I think that is also why I'm so terrified of caves, the thought of something like that underneath my feet is... uncomfortable to say the least.

[@dummbobqqqqq]

Yeah this is very important when diving with predators like sharks, they are curious by nature...so your focus has to be 100% at the sharks and that in a 3D environment.

[@neo7043]

Sometimes I let my mind drift and a picture of one of those land tortoises comes to my mind. Ancient, shell covered in moss and small plants, basically a small ecosystem on four legs. Then I think about the deep sea and start wondering, weather something similar cold exist down there. Like an octopus disguising itself as part of a reef, maybe there is something disguising as the reef itself, resting, observing. And just maybe some diver might already have -unknowingly- looked straight into it's eye.

[@adriansparrow4554]

Some diving spots have really high death rates not because they are dangerous in an intuitiv sense but because light is being reflected from below which makes many amateur divers dive deeper thinking they are going up and when you start to run out of oxygen confusion makes it even harder trying to find the right direction.

11:35 yo we actually do know why deep sea gigantism happens it’s pretty well understood. It happens because for an organism to survive longer without food they need a slower metabolism and to achieve a slower metabolism they need to be bigger organisms. Sounds counter intuitive but in practice that is the outcome. The bigger you are the less food you need over long periods of time if they were smaller they would need similar ratios of food to body weight that large organisms need, however, they would burn through the calories much quicker leading to them needing food more often.

I almost drowned off the coast of South Africa last year, in the Indian Ocean, and it was genuinely one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever experienced. I thought i was genuinely going to die. it’s only due to extremely lucky circumstances that im alive. i wouldve never gotten to say goodbye. i wouldve never gotten to see my band concert, i wouldve never gotten to help with the musical, nor the play our hs does. i never wouldve gotten to see my friends again. i never wouldve gotten to see my family again. my body wouldve been gone forever if I hadn’t fought, if the people with me hadn’t fought for me. drowning is not a peaceful way to go, don’t listen to anyone that tries to say otherwise. its hopeless, painful, and it sends you into a state of constant panic. please be careful in the ocean.

[@TJhowling]

Drowning is one of the ways of dying I'm actually not afraid of. When I was a little kid, and couldn't swim, my cousin and I were rough housing and he pushed me into the pool. I remember sinking to the bottom and trying to scream, it was scary at first but then I just kind of accepted it and started to pass out. I don't remember too much but I do remember having the distinct thought of "Welp, I guess this is it!" then my uncle apparently dove in and pulled me out. I do have a fear of deep water but not a fear of drowning, I just hate the idea of floating above a dark void full of possible water demons.

[@karenservingkunt]

Subnautica makes me think about Panthalassa (Greek 'Pan'-All 'thalassa'-Sea), the ancient Super Ocean which surrounded Pangaea. The idea of that giant, vast super ocean is so hauntingly fascinating to me. Imagine the creatures that must have lived in Panthalassa 300 Mya.

[@milchesarreal6964]

During that time, apparently it was *safer* than on land, since the animals that lived there weren't bigger than your arm, and everything on land is steadily evolving to be rather dangerous Sharks were around, yes, but in smaller sizes as some families were still starting out, and others (like Helicoprion's lineage) were dying out Although...the same can't be theoretically said for your mental health. If we're already incredibly afraid of our current ocean, what more is one *twice the size of it?* Tl:dr Panthalassa is safe in regards to animal life, but the size will conjure up nightmares worse than the one our current oceans give

2 things we should consider when talking about the unknown part of the ocean. 1. When you say that most of the ocean is unexplored, people usually mean that as in physically mapping out the ocean. That doesn’t necessarily mean we don’t know what’s out there, mostly because the unexplored stuff is a bunch of empty dead space of just sand and sea grass. 2. Even though the thing you said about sea gigantism is true, sustaining large life forms near the bottom of the ocean is near impossible. Something like a shark or whale could not survive at such a depth because there is just not enough food l down there to sustain their bodies. Yes, whales and squids can go a pretty low depth and still survive (around the continental slope) however there’s still a limit on how deep they can go before they die

​@@vicieux7789 well the animals are mostly calm and is "just" a dangerous environment. If any, more knowledge should reduce the amount of fear regarding non logical fears of the ocean.

[@ballcrunch3911]

please never stop posting man! And holy sh*t the video of the guy drowning had me shocked this is so scary i knew you'd make a vid about thalasophobia and im not disappointed

[@KyanoAng3l0_Mtvtks]

I used to be severely thalassophobic. Just the thought of the ocean terrified me as a kid. It's one of the reasons why I preferred swimming pools over the beach. Back in the '90s, my dad bought us a MS-DOS educational game named "Undersea Adventure" which simultaneously kindled my interest in marine life and triggered my thalassophobia. It prolly didn't help that our IBM PC had problematic sound support so we initially played UA w/o the cheerful sounds and music. The "3-D Undersea World" part, a Doom-like map that you can freely roam around in, felt like a mini horror game, lol.

God I am so brave for even watching this lol. I have always been afraid of the open seas, not because of the creatures or the mystery of it, but because of the fear of drowning and be submerged in it, never to resurface again. I remember that one time my friend convinced me to go jetski with her and I for once , obliged just to face my fears. I ended up crying and shaking in fear. Needless to say, I never tried doing sea activities again unless it’s somewhere shallow or where my head could still surface out of the water. Don’t get me started with boats and ships because I always felt nauseous whenever there’s a dire need of me to ride and get into one of those.

22:41 ive actually seen a video on the Bloop, and it explains that the sound was from glaciers moving and like, breaking off. the sound people always play is actually extremely sped up and pitched up, because the raw audio is at such a deep pitch that it can barely even be heard aside from a VERY low rumble.

the entire ocean floor has been mapped, we just havent explored the volume of the ocean. You could say we haven't explored the majority of the atmosphere as well, there's no need to, we know its mostly nothing. it's a common miscoception that we don't know whats in 80٪ of the ocean we know what's there, its water😂.

[@user-dd2ku9mr8g]

we also havent mapped the entire volume of the crust or mantle as well, cuz its dirt and magma. if there was something notable floating in the middle of the ocean, crust, mantle, ir atmosphere we would have noticed it using sonar, satellite, or the many other methods we have to detect anomalies and such.😂

[@jmgonzales7701]

Tbh like what the video says its the not knowing part gets me. Like idk about any of you but i have this deep fear of not knowing, while yes i do have "practical fears" like what other animal is there or the mere fact its very dark, u can't breath and if u lose any light source or breathing apparatus u don't survive. However like Space i have this want and need to be knowledgeable. Like i don't even care if aliens exist, or if there are any sea creatures out there. I just want to know if they exist or not like some assurance, ofc that's not how life works but man idk anymore.

[@jmgonzales7701]

@@user-dd2ku9mr8g atleast that entirely proves that there are no creatures, elves, dwarves or even lost species of monsters there or any animals. Now we just have to prove that aliens either exist or don't.

[@rko2016]

there are plenty of theories as to why gigantism occurs, the most probable to me seems to be heat conservation and by extent, energy preservation. the bigger the animal, the harder it is for the heat to escape, thus requiring less food, which is scarce down there.

[@2_iska268]

When I was a little kid, I was scared of water so this kid at my swimming lessons held me under the water. My grandma made fun of me for years until I actually had a mental break because of my head accidentally going under when I was swimming. It’s genuinely changed my perspective on life.

[@mikesanders8621]

I have severe Thallassophobia, but I have zero fear of drowning, because oxygen deprivation actually makes you feel very calm and peaceful before you go. I'm afraid of what LIVES in the ocean, and the idea of being vulnerable from literally any direction. I also live on an island nation surrounded by extremely violent waters containing a massive population of great whites and tiger sharks.

[@gothgirl4evr881]

I can identify with your fear of drowning, there's a scene in "Turistas" where the characters have to escape from the people trying to kill them and have to swim thru these caves without any air tanks and depending on finding little air pockets to not drown. It is very difficult to watch especially if you have this fear

[@Tiwaass]

Why did i laugh so much at 0:50 😭😭

[@SamuelBlack84]

One aspect of being in the ocean that terrifies me is the sudden realisation that your life and everything that you care about means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of nature You're just another thing completely vulnerable to the extremes of existence

[@Archradox]

Sir, you cannot reclassify thalassophobia as “fear of the unknown” cause there’s already a classification for that: Xenophobia, or Agnostophobia. Also, the fear of drowning falls under the motif of aquaphobia.

Can you make a video about the inside of the Titanic. I don't know really how to explain how eerie the interior is. The whole ship makes you feel trapped in such a big thing that you cannot escape, forced to die the design of the staircases and various parts of the ship give a really weird feeling. Like a hotel thats gonna get bombed and you are helpless.

[@9fllower]

As somebody who has drowned before, it's not a peaceful feeling at all, and the worst of the pain isn't the lack of oxygen. It's the feeling you get in your head, it feels like it going to explode. And to whoever is wondering I was a young child who didn't know how to swim and kinda fell out of my doughnut floatie in a lazy river and the lifegard didnt realize until i was already unconscious underwater.🤦🏽‍♀️

It wouldn't be possible to find remains, also that is a real theory and not some unrealistic "childish fantasy" since there used to be many many more giant creatures under water that since have gone extinct.

@KoolKidsJuice giant squids aren't even close to sinking a ship it's like comparing a hydrogen bomb to a coughing baby maybe huge octopus or squid existed sure but maybe like 70 million years ago which is not even close to CE and almost impossible that the creature survived (if it even existed) the theory that it sunk ships is so out of place, why tf would they sink a ship? for fun? they would have literally 0 reason for that, and only "evidence" we have are tales from sailors

[@katcana1]

[@imjusthappytobedepressed1123]

Deepsea gigantism is pretty fascinating. The basic idea is that in the cold, dark depths of the ocean, being bigger helps creatures conserve heat better. Larger bodies have a lower surface area to volume ratio, which means they lose heat more slowly compared to smaller bodies. So, in a place where it's tough to stay warm, being big is an advantage because it helps these animals retain what little heat they can generate.
