I like something that was said in the movie "The Core", where a "scientist" said it was easier to travel in space than to bore deep into the earth. This is because the heat and pressure increase so much the deeper you go. It made me think how the ocean is like that, space has a constant vacuum but the oceans have an ever increasing pressure. So maybe they were right that it is easier to travel in space than deep into the ocean. Your thoughts on intelligent life reminded me of the movie "The Abyss" where intelligent life was in the deepest part of the ocean. Another cool video young lady, you always inspire thinking.

[@Sander523i]

Your idea at 9:30, where you mention that there might be intelligent life in the deepest parts of the ocean sound interesting. My counter argument would be that there is less energy available (food and thermal) the deeper you go. Both of which are important to intelligent life. Or, at least, as we know them to be.

[@ThatOneDudeNick]

The penguin dive depth blew my mind more than the rest lol.

[@caleidoo]

Just as there is little intelligent life on the top of Mount Everest - sometimes I include the people waiting in line to go to the top with their 18 sherpa's carrying oxygen and supplies, using the dead bodies as anker points - I doubt there is much intelligent & complex organisms in the deepest & unknown parts of the ocean. The conditions are just way too hard. The enormous pressure, lack of food, etc... But you never know for sure of course. But what is known, is that a lot of things that go down so deep, are extremely well preserved because of the low level of oxygen and less wild life. So that could be interesting.

[@0saintclark0]

There isn't much room on the top of mount Everest though. 95% of the ocean floor being unexplored means there's still more area down there we know nothing about than there is land that we do know about. As for lack of food, again there may be entire ecosystems down there that we don't know about purely because none of them can travel to the surface the same as we can't travel to the bottom. The colossal squid could be an apex predator on the ocean floor at the top of an immense food chain. I'd never actually given this any thought until it was raised in this video. Truly fascinating.

[@caleidoo]

@@0saintclark0 We're talking about intelligent life, don't forget that tiny detail. 95% of the ocean floor is not as deep as the Mariana trench though, and the colossal squid lives at around 1,600-6,600 ft... and the very life-unfriendly conditions don't become less hard because there is a lot of room for it: see the emptiness of space. Lots of it, we can agree. Zero life except on some rocks, probably sitting millions of lightyears apart. You could of course argue that there is LOTS of life in space, purely in numbers, because just how huge space is and how many spots there are with potential life, but that's besides the point. I also believe if there was a large ecosystem with intelligent life in the deepest parts of the ocean, there would have been signs of it, because it would have evolved there for millions of years. There should be fossils or unexpected finds. So far, the deepest parts are kinda.... basic. Tiny shrimps and the occasional lone fish. What's more depressing is the findings telling that in the Mariana Trench, "100% of amphipods had at least one piece of synthetic material in their stomachs" .

[@derekfnord]

Consider, though, that humans (and other land animals) live in the atmosphere, and we are almost always found at the bottom of it. Even when we temporarily aren't at the bottom, we're usually still near the bottom (by comparison to the total depth of the atmosphere). Perhaps there are also creatures who've evolved to live at or near the bottom of the hydrosphere...

[@alexanderg1935]

I agree with this, not least because most deep sea creatures (excluding microorganisms) are heavily dependent on marine snow (dead animals, plants from land etc) for survival. I'm not convinced that there is enough of an ecosystem for sapient life. (Although molluscs such as Squid, Octopuses etc can be incredibly intelligent, so who knows)

[@slackerhobo]

I love your reaction here. I don't quite agree with the intelligent live supposition (not that it is impossible, but it is not very likely) for two primary reasons. 1. Intelegance is an evolutionary trait born out of intense resource competition, which is far less likely to occur at those great unknown depths. 2. Intelegance (and the brains to support it) are VERY resource intensive; they require a huge amount of resting calories to support without the plentiful resources born out of plants driven by photosynthesis, its highly unlikely at that depth they have the spare energy to support intelligent life. Either way love the content!

If sunlight can't reach bellow 1000 meters (3280 ft) then that should mean Lidar will be less efficient but sonar should still carry sound waves but as sound travels faster as the pressure rises the true distance will be distorted if the pressure can't be determined. Sound travels faster as the material or substrat gets more dense. For example the speed of sound through diamond is 12 thousand meters per second, whilst in air it is around 343m/s and 1500 m/s in water but as pressure rises the speed increase even more. Light actually travels slower as a transparent material gets denser, as a higher mass will dialate time so the information of that light will go through time slower through the heavy mass, but becasue we can't see the speed of light change because of relativity we only see a redshift of the lightspeed information until the redshift is so big the information is null. Meaning the mass of the material can gain the energy of the light into its own structure, but only until its melting point and it starts releasing all of the energy outwards as heat entropy. This means we can map the ocean floor but not the actual distance as accurate as we would like. This means we only know that there is a bottom to the ocean but not how far down or what creatures swim deep down in the deepest depths.

A great literary recommendation is The Unnatural History of the Sea by Callum Roberts. It's not necessarily about the deep ocean, but it's about the history of the oceans as far as humans are concerned. It talks with reference to primary sources about the different animals that have been impacted by human life, such as Steller's Sea Cow of Bering Sea locale - a creature related to the manatee that was so docile it just let humans approach and kill them, which led to their extinction.

The free diving guy wasn't actually in any danger of decompression sickness. The reason is that free divers only have the uncompressed air they start with, and while that may get compressed, it decompresses to the same volume it started at on the surface, so there's no problem. Also, the 95% is _accurately_ mapped. They have a fairly good idea what a lot of the sea floor looks like on a general level, but there could be seamounts we don't know about. But there probably aren't any extreme trenches we're unaware of, because those are the results of tectonic plate subduction, and we have the plates fairly well mapped out.

I wanted to become a Geo-scientist or at least tried my hand at it mainly because of the deep ocean. It is amazing what people make political, doing classes I was saddened by just how little people knew about the deep and how uninterested they appeared to be about it until you hit them with something they didn't know. It was inspiring when I'd see a professor's eyes light up when noted the Abyss as a biome, she was confused but I could see the interest she took in it. It made me very happy. With that said nope, nothing too clever down there, humans have a few unique things that demanded we developed the kind of brains we have now and are continuing to develop. Things like the need to use tools and get better at using those tools, things like abandoning fur and developing sweat glands which developed along with tool usage. Most interestingly is our ability to harness outside energy for work. Unless whatever is down there skipped a few early steps and is now using geothermal or hydroelectric power nope. But if they did we'd be able to pick up on something like that fairly easily when we check the surface for heat to predict things like the weather.

[@jamesbrown5600]

The average civilian ship is designed for approximately a 30 year lifespan. US Navy vessels are also designed for a 30 year lifespan but at 20 to 25 years they go into a 2 to 4 year inport availability for a total upgrade called SLEP, Service Life Extension Program, whereby the ship is literally torn apart and upgraded with the newest tech, the structural stuff is reinforced and they come out with another 30 years of lifespan. Think about this: the B-52 bomber first flew in 1955 (i think) and it is now being flown by the grandkids of the original pilots, also these aircraft have been so upgraded they're expected to be flying for another 30 to 40 years after the current upgrades (mainly the re-egining) are finished. That means the B-52 will have had over 100 years of lifespan. Amazing considering that aircraft was designed in the 40's and early 50's with slide rules and it'll still be flying combat missions 100 years later.

[@s1ugtrail978]

Water pressure... For the most part regardless of what depth you go to water pressure doesn't affect your body in the crushing manner you would believe. The reason why objects such as submarines crush or crack under pressure is because of the fact that they are a container with an air pocket. For example there is no reason such pressures will prevent a scuba diver from going deeper, rather it is the gas mixture that allows your body to function at lower depths. The lower you go the less oxygen you need. Dropping at times as low as 4 to 6% depending on what you're doing. As well deep sea creatures bodies aren't made of steel preventing them from being crushed. Though this is not to negate the fact that even with the proper gases the human body under such depths will actually suffer from medical issues. For the life of me I can't remember what they are called now but it comes with tremors which can then turn into full-blown seizures, losing feeling in the body, and cardiac arrest... Don't quote me on that last part...

[@musiqa-workshops]

There is an international bestseller by the German author Frank Schatzing called "The Swarm". It's a good read and if you're interested in marine biology and the deep sea you might find it interesting and compelling. It engages with the idea of an intelligent species in the depths of the ocean, made of single-cell organisms which can congregate to form a single group-mind (hive-mind), in line with the complex swarm behaviors of many underwater species. Their single-cell nature allows them to withstand water pressure at even the greatest depths while remaining undiscovered and depending on only very limited nutrition and low energy consumption. Aware of the destructive nature of the human race, they had long preferred to remain in hiding, but due to the increasing destruction of their marine home they finally feel forced to engage in counterattacks to preserve their habitat. The book has some "The Core / Dan Brown" popcorn moments but is much more based on scientific research about swarm intelligence, the yet unknown vastness of the deep sea and the interconnected nature of our global ecosystem.

Is this the same as leveling every continent and spit of land above the waterline to sea level? Isn't this the same as filling in the low spots on the ocean floor so it's level? And does the rise in seawater take into account the massive amount of ice we have on land and frozen in the ground that will become liquid, further raising water levels as it melts? Also volcanic eruptions will rebuild islands and possibly more given time. Or the heat will boil off the seawater contributing to a lot more atmospheric water vapor and much deadlier hurricanes and thunderstorms in a runaway cataclysm.

The Dogan tribe in Africa said intelligent fish people came from the ocean and gave them knowledge to live a better life. They described them as having fish heads and bodies with legs and feet that were human like.

I can't wrap my head around the fact that I can break an emperor penguins bones with my bare hands, but it's evolved to need air and operate at 1psi but also can sustain the pressures that insanely deep that would kill most mammals.

I think CGP Grey's "the rules for rulers" is something for you

[@rmdm1990]

LOVE THAT SOUTHWESTERN SWEATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND THAT ANGELIC SMILE! Do you enjoy the Gravity of this situation? Also, DAMN YOU are CUTE! THANK YOU.

Mount Everest is 8.85km high. The Challenger Deep us 11km deep, that is less than 20kn from top to bottom. For context, a Marathon is 42km and the equator is 40,000km

[@tmakinthehouse]

I like your intellect and interest.

[@The_Story_Of_Us]

The slightly annoying thing about like baiting the question of "who knows what untold horrors we'll discover at the bottom of the deepest parts of our ocean....?" is the fact that we already know essentially. Some people will even be like "ooooh Megalodon is hiding down there!", but like.... No. There is so little food down there and the pressure is so high that no animal bigger than a person could possibly live down there and at the bottom of the Challenger Deep, you could fit most of them in the palm of your hand. It's infinitely more interesting asking how these things can even survive down there at all...

Interesting subject. Thx

[@MikinessAnalog]

Mr. Ballen is antagonistic toward the like button lol yes, im subbed to him, long enough to remember when he would post 3 or 4 times a week lol.

[@NoProtocol]

He is such a good storyteller. The way he covered missing 411 cases really got me interested

[@MikinessAnalog]

@@NoProtocol I never knew the background audio track sounded much like a remix I made (Lush - "Last Night") a bit repetitive but is from the movie "City Of Industry" would love your honest opinion if you obtain the time.

[@rafterman5072]

I think he may have been stretching himself too thin in regards to content. I used to watch his video's constantly, but I have noticed the stories aren't as interesting.

[@MikinessAnalog]

@@rafterman5072 Imo, i believe they are just as interest, but his upload frequency intention was not sustainable.

[@NoProtocol]

For sure I have the time! Where can I find it?

[@himynameis3664]

I always wondered would you feel the ocean become like a physical barrier as you reach those crazy levels of PSI. If it had so much pressure that it would crush you instantly, could you physically feel the water becoming more rigid as you approach that level?

[@Richie23OO]

The Deep Ocean and the Universe to me are most fascinating things to learn about. And can you Imagine Planets out there that have Ocean Hundreds of km deep? Ours is a mere 10-12,000 meters.

[@darthghengis]

Nice shout out to MrBallen

[@jokuz9133]

Great video. You are a real one

[@NoProtocol]

So are you Joe, thanks for watching (:

[@Yuki_Ika7]

I agree there is a possibility of intelligent life at the bottom of the sea that we do not know about
