Im sure Aaron is learning as much as we are. The variety of topics is mind blowing, and I Love his naration style, and the ability to take a mundane topic or group of facts and turn it into a video that is just fascinating to even the most educated of us, makes Tuesday mornings my favorite morning of the week. Once again reminding us how fragile yet resiliant our preciuous earth is!
I’m not nitpicking, but his name is actually spelled “Arran.” It’s very unique so I understand why most people misspell it, I just wanted to let you know! I completely agree with you, he has the ability to turn everyday/mundane topics into incredibly gripping educational videos!
@@Sniperboy5551 Ah, yes, I do remember that now, thx! Wont make that mistake again. He must have gone thru life spelling his name, like I did!
His name is actually thoughty2 I saw his passport. 😏😏
Hey 42 here 😄
@@jacobsims8307I often wonder just how many ppl get the reference of his YT name... a pun on Douglas Adams Hitchikers Guide. My hubbies fave book, but one that at school I never saw the interest in, but now also love!
This is the only channel that’s lasted this long that the host has had a consistently watchable personality and engaging content that isn’t just clickbait. Well done to the team!🎉
Check out the why files (wf files) if you haven't dine so. It's incredible, and the host is amazing

Very interesting and educational. The Sargasum weed washes up on the shore here in south Florida especially during major storms.
I used to collect the weed from the shore as a lad and shake out the inhabitants and take home to put in my aquarium. The diversity of creatures was incredible, from small shrimp and crustaceans and the awesome Sargasum fish to baby Barricudas and many species of small fishes.
Learned some things about the Sargasum Sea I didn't know. Thanks.
I just love when you cover the marine ecosystems it fascinates me
Yeah, I'm just gonna say it. Thoughty 2 your witty insight and immaculate dialog along with the never-ending creativity of your videos is hands down superior to 90 percent of mainstream info-graphic channels. Your work is very much appreciated 🙏 thank you.
Thanks!
Thanks.
What i love and respect the most about Aaron is you can tell he really doesn't care what people think about him. He doesn't chase trends and he doesn't try to be someone he is not.
Thoughty42, if you are not a teacher or professor, you absolutely should be!! No matter how dry the topic, you spin it so well with wit and humor. I'm sincerely addicted to your channel. Keep 'em coming. The only suggestion I have is to please include the American weight and measure calculations. It's too difficult asking Alexa to calculate for me every time..lol
Thank you Arran for this fabulous channel. It is both educational, and especially entertaining. The school systems could absolutely do with many more of you, the graduation rate would soar. Your narration style and wonderful sense of humor always have me wanting more, so I ration how many of your videos I watch at a time and they last longer.
We appreciate how detailed this is. The vastness of the sea is remarkable to just think about. The amount of mysteries and even possibilities it contains is endless.
Excuse me madam you don't speak for me 😤
But yea
all good. and also, lol, watch out for some of the creatures’ defense mechanisms when the sargasso washes up on shore! Yes! Such as, the fire bristle worm! Yikesies! And, the snippy crabs in the sargasso washing up on shore! 😅 but also, leave the sargasso piles on the beach which help stop beach erosion.
I was a long liner and spent some time in the sargasso sea. I remember while plowing through a mat of weed, see hundreds of little plastic kids lawnmowers floating on top, like they were cutting the grass. They must have fallen out of a container, but it was a site to see.
Mermaids were cutting grass. They were on break when you came through. Just kidding. I bet that was funny
@glennrice4030 I saw a lot of things when I was fishing and yes, that was one of the more memorable.
😮
I think that those people cleaning up the oceans should be awarded with the title Earth's guardians.
Ok zoomer
@@GunGnome_ ikr.. ever wonder why there is not one pic of this Texas sized island of trash!
@@GunGnome_ I don't think this is a place for gun lovers to put a comment here.But, all right, I respect freedom of speech.
@@duudsuufd ok zoomer
Yeah who cleans up the cleaner-uppers? And who’s gonna clean up the cleaneruppers of the cleaneruppers?
One of the additional reasons for the 'calm' weather is because its located almost always under the sub tropical anti cyclone. That is the high pressure in the middle of the North Atlantic (all oceans have one, or two, if they cover both North and South hemispheres). The STAC is also what drives the gyre.
Some people say that the Native tribes living on Jekyll Island and other small island areas near the coast of Georgia were possibly Phoenicians. They said that in the areas even going inland a little bit towards the Smokey Mountains they found tribes that were unlike any of the others nearby due to their pale skin, blue and green eyes, and tall stature. The Europeans said that aside from their culture they almost could have been mistaken for Europeans themselves. So I definitely believe that the Phoenicians traveled through the Sargasso Sea.
im so hung over and low on dopamine. ive deen trying to find something i can watch that doesn’t t make me want to doomscroll at the same time. this channel is it. thank you thoughty2
You’re cute lol
Typically I’ve already heard about whatever topic Arran presents, but I’ve legitimately never heard about this before. There’s always new things to learn!
Today I discovered a new sea. How did we not learn this in school?
@@Glenn-F-Ricesame
I spend a lot of time listening to several channels with videos like this, about random topics & science, and like to think I have at least heard of most things like this... but I cannot say I have ever heard of the Sargasso Sea. This channel is always a pleasant surprise. Thank you!
go back to school
@@suteners2111 hah
Are you american by any chance? Lmao
@@suteners2111 going back doesn't help if they never tell us there to start with. we never really had any classes this would even fit into anyway. I guess Geography would be it, but that class was pretty basic & never got too much into the oceans that much, other than basic concepts.
@@tnorki yep. lol
Very good job!! love the ending (how you tied so many things together regarding the sargasso sea. !!)
I really don't know how many people work on the videos but good job you're very successful but I still think you're way underrated for the quality of your content no bad videos no lazy work nothing ever off and no matter how boring the topic for me i can count on you to make it interesting to the point of multiple watch
Keep up the amazing work
Wow. What a fantastic video! Not only did you put basically 3 seperate channels worth of information about this area together (The Ocean Cleanup and Atlas Pro) , but managed to segway 2 of your other videos into it as well! Bravo sir, you are a master of smooth transitions lol
I didn't see any segways but I did notice a segue.
How could i live to be 75 and not have known this? 😮Thanks Thoughty❤
Your sea related videos are fascinating.
They're Arrrrr-rated!
been watching a lot of your videos lately, really enjoying them. Every new video it's like you are getting a month younger
Your videos are always interesting. I've learned about things I've never even heard about before. And you speak so well I've no problems to hear and understand. Thanks for all the answers to life, universe and everything.
You're enunciation is so awesome! Keep up the great work, and fun and informative stories!
Thank you for this video. I have always wondered how that is a "sea".
always a good day when Thoughty uploads
Some people hate mondays, I guess they don''t know about Thoughty2
Weird today was actually a good day for me. 😌👌👌
I wish to thank you for your content, as someone who has Adhd, you managed to keep me enthralled and engaged in the content you provide, it might be a weird way to learn about the world but then I say let me be weird. Channels like yours are something I look for when browsing, as it feeds my constant addiction to mysteries, myths, facts, and just generally how things work, it's not a total guide to everything but honestly, the sheer variety of topics and information provided is enough to have made me learn more and chase more of the wonder we have lying in this planet we call home.
It’s not real, adhd. It was a way to make being a make being a normal boy into a pathology and a way to make pharma shit tons of money. All studies that affirm ADHD were funded by big pharma. Teachers unions loved it because now boys could sit through their lesson plans geared to girl students. It became a meme in society and now people just accept that it’s real despite no evidence and plenty of evidence that the medication actually harms the children. Imagine thinking that giving amphetamines to a second grader is a good idea. It changes the brain and more than likely actually causes ADHD symptoms after prolonged use. The symptoms are mental withdrawal symptoms and the concentration comes from getting your fix. Stop taking pharma poison.
ADHD fellow here. I fully agree with you. This content helps with providing new stimulus and feeds the desire of learning something new, something interesting.
the last bit of your message made me do a double take and re-read your name, thinking you were John Michael Godier. I recommend that channel too btw, great content about space
Not weird, just different paths of learning and interests.
You might like some of Simon Whistler's channels, such as Today I Found Out, and The Casual Criminalist.
YAAAYYYYY!!!! My week has been made with another "Best Hit Single" Thoughty2 video!!! Thanks again!!! ❤🎉🎉🎉
Who doesn't love this dude! Been watching him since nearly thr beginning and his content gets better n better. Been wanting to learn more about this, but always forget. Well, then i see your video and just finished it, so off to learn more about this sea 😊
Aaron : I'm glad you asked
Me : I didn't, but do go on ...
😂
I remember in the 80s that they found in Jawa Bay (located at the midpoint of the southern coast of Cuba) an ancient Stone Altar covered with Phoenician writings.
This channel gets better. You explain things in a formal way with a style that makes it entertaining somehow I can't explain. My new favorite on UA-cam
Now, the amount of sargassum in the sea has usually been rather scanty in modern times. So a lot of those older reports were often considered to be exaggerations. But given the massive mats of the stuff floating in seemingly from somewhere between the Brazilian and African coasts in the past few years we really need to give those reports some serious scrutiny.
I was reading an article from a sailing website and someone who was participating in a racing event, thought it would be ok to sail through a patch instead of zigzagging though. Boy was he wrong. The pace of the boat went to a crawl, and they had to work to keep the rudder clear. If the Rosalie was caught in such a thick mat that it couldn't move, maybe they thought they could get on any rowboats they had and paddle their way through. Or if they weren't too far from land, some thought they could swim it. 🤷♂ Eventually the ship drifts free where it is eventually found.
7:13 Wait, they found artifacts under the sargassum sea? Why isn't this bigger news? There have been speculations that Phoenicians or someone, has been shipping copper over from American mines into the "old world" and supporting the bronze age there. If they arrived at the sargassum sea, then it isn't hard to surmise that they didn't make it all the way to the American continent.
I disagree that they were harvesting the sargassum. More likely the sargassum wasn't an issue at first. And then a couple of years and whammo! large mats suddenly show up that made the trip too hazardous to continue. Trade stops and the copper route gets lost to history.
A well deserved 5.2 million subs. You appear to put a lot of effort in and I appreciate that.
Here in the coast of Mexico we had "sargazo" for a few years, the seaweed suddenly appeared on beaches. I was there and it doesn't smell bad, but it completely takes over and there's no space for tourism until it's cleaned up.
I absolutely love your channel. I started watching it in 2021 while I was pregnant with my 1st child.
“Hey… 42 here”
Yep
😁😁😁
Im a fisherman in portugal and i donk think that is the case with eels as we fish them of our coast with as litle of 5 to 10 cm and the big ones reach up to 10 to 12 kg sometimes over that .they might be reproducing in holes of big rocky structurs,just no one can see. Our piers extend out to the sea and they are full off eels
He depicted the wrong species of eel; the correct ones are (Anguilla anguilla & Anguilla rostrata). The species return to inland systems throughout the Americas and Europe. The mystery is the migration they undertake to reproduce in the sea.
Thank you very much for this video. You are somebody, who can not only explain phenomenon extremely well, but you also love your language and your words. And this episode, once again, highlights humankind's negative interaction with nature as a whole.
Whatever topic you choose, you are knowledgable, witty and engaging. Keep up the good work. You are so near the answer to everything. It's just the "th".
I was thinking about the stone slab found at Brazil exactly when you mentioned it; they were without a doubt the most impressive civilization when it comes to sea exploration.
actually, theres evidence that native south americans were related to polynesian and were different then those who came over the land bridge in north america. so that probably makes the polynesians the most prolific explorers of the old world.
Most days going to bed I listen to one of the videos…really soothing..❤ thankyou thoughty2
So if the jet streams are supposedly changing, & the poles are moving, will this destroy or move the Sargasso? Imagine how that would affect the earth, the things we dont even consider, but I'm glad it's being monitored & researched.
subtropical anticyclone is something you should check out
it's a geographical features of oceans, some have more than one if they are spread out both north and south of the ecuator
the Sargasso Sea is in that region in the North Atlantic so it will just move around where the currents end up settling
As always, I totally loved the video. Your voice always pulls me right into the story. Well done brother. Well done. 👍😎
Alway love to see a video by you pop up! This was a pretty interesting watch, it's definitely sending me down a rabbit hole of my own. Thank you for the video!

Please do a video on Admiral Byrd and his secret diary that his son found after his death.

@Thoughty2 great video and content. I have one request - could you possibly use the correct world map in your videos, one that represents the true size of each landmass.

This was a particularly interesting topic! Very well-presented and informative.
The islands of Bermuda are in the Sargasso Sea. So, the Sargasso Sea has a tiny coastline.

Yes there is in fact evidence, a few bits, that the Phoenicians did land, and this dating goes back to at least the Bronze age. From the Azores being inhabited, to places both in North, and South America showing evidence. The thing is like many aspects of knowledge, they were kept secret or disbelieved by people like the Greeks who were competitors, or the by the Romans, another group who were competitors. They have found artifacts in many places in the Americas and Atlantic areas. It is NOT a crazy theory. They also found Roman-era goods, which were transported on those Carthagian ships. It does not mean the Romans went there, only those who had access to Roman-era goods. The fact remains these objects have been found.

Thank god I had almost run out of thoughty2 videos!
Another good one Thoughty!
I am from Florida and it is pretty common for sargassum to wash up on the beaches. Mostly on the east coast of Florida where I live, which makes sense since it is facing the Sargasso sea.
Ive seen where the weed washes on shore but i didnt know there was a floating Amazon rain forest. This is amazing
Hey man! I've been watching your videos for quite a while, and i always seem to enjoy them no matter the topic, keep up the good work! 👍 ❤
Thank you. Thank you for expanding my ocean awareness. Your animations are top notch.
The sargasso sea is where the American and the European eel breeds. Pretty much the only difference between the two is one vertebrae but strangely enough one type goes far to inland America as far as Minnesota and possibly even further at one point but hydroelectric dams have hindered their journey. The others swim all the way to (u guessed it) Europe. That in itself is a mystery as to why they have become separate breeds.
The map on wiki for European eels also encompasses the Mediterranean. Maybe some Phoenician fishing vessels were following the eel migration when the adults returned to spawn to try to harvest roe (or other reason) and that is how they ended up at the sargassum (which may or may not have been full of weed at that time). Only to see a line of American eels swimming in. I am speculating that the eels were in greater numbers at that time and imagine a dark column that may have been visible from their boats. 🤷♂
If we remember that the Atlantic was once much narrower in the geological past, it may have been that when the eels developed their migration paths, the coasts of east and west might only have been as narrow as a regular river. And what we now know as American and European might have only been east bank and west bank.
And we cant breed eels we dont know how they actually do it
I would love a collab of Thoughty2, Brew and Joe Scott
Aliens?alien breeding area? Eels are definitely Aliens. Thank you Again for sharing your perspective with us!
You can find that seaweed on the coast of Texas and Mexico. I have been to both places and found that along the beach.
The North Atlantic Gyre reminds me of the great red spot on Jupiter.
Thank u for the awesome vidya sire
It reminds me somehow of Jupiter's great red spot. I knew the Sargasso Sea was a thing, having seen it on some map when I was a kid and wondering about how a sea could be in the middle of all that ocean, but didn't know anything else about it. Thanks for the video!
Great analogy!
i love every second of it, even the ads are nice
More interesting than I thought it would be. 🐠🐠🐠 🐟
The wonders of our beautiful blue marble we call home!!!! It's a shame how mankind and its "advancements" have ruined it. Thanks, Thoughty2, for yet another very informative and entertaining video. A job very well done.
Love your videos man
We haven't even finished exploring the oceans, barely touched them, yet we have already made a great start on destroying it.
yea, it is really a sad reality 😢
Happy Birthday "Thoughty",!
…….water??? I’m just guessing.
Hardly hidden, is it?!
That's the most intelligent thing I think I've heard tonight
Thank you for adding that end part about the plastic waist. We need to raise allot more awareness around these issues as we will not have a planet to live on in less than 9 years.

New technology needs to desperately be launched to clean the Sargasso of the plastic debris throughout it. Plastic destroying microorganisms would do wonders there, and globally in general.
