Nobody lives in Saturn, which is also in the solar system, so we earthians might own it first. Maybe the arguement of planet ownership between aliens might be in... Gliese 581 if closest?
+Kyle A Well, I could see it being a positive thing as well. While consideration to the environment should be paid, and hopefully these territorial disputes will be better resolved, who knows what could be hidden under the ice? We're talking about an area more than half the size of North America that's gone mostly untouched by human hands. Maybe the miners will find some archaeological treasure, another meteorite with signs of life on it, or a cure for cancer in some previously undiscovered mineral.
The "leave nothing behind" rule also applies to tourists, who are told when they take a trip off their cruise ship to go walk on the icy land that they are not to leave anything, not even hair. Apparently cruise ship companies can be very alert to tourists traveling with other companies just in case they break that rule so one company can be taken out of the tourist running. I got this info from a friend of my mum's who took a cruise that stopped off at the Antarctican peninsula.
News Headlines in 2040 : We have just received information that Penguins in Antarctica are building weapons of Mass Destruction. So we are declaring a war on Antarctica.
2099 News Headlines: Penguins migrate to sea and go extinct because of global warming and Earth is a giant fireball ([Edit]) Sometimes global warming, sometimes drowning
but how will we survive? there might be a decent amount of food.... but the means to make a fire for warmth... you can make a shelter out of snow but still.. if one were to go.. it wouldnt really be just ONE, but many.
2:51 Fun Fact: in a RLL video, if you draw a certain line going at a certain angle at a certain spot on the unclaimed Antarctic coast, you won’t pass any land and until ending up in Norway.
+Fezdalek Abraian maybe the penguins are just waiting for humanity to catch up to their intelligence so that they can wage a fair and full fledged war on humanity! until then, they're just chilling out on antarctica.....
After we take the penguins land, killing many in the process, we are going to give them reservations to make up for the Trail of Frozen Tears. Soon after, we'll want more of the Antarctic and push their reservations into smaller and smaller areas until they're a bunch of small penguin towns with penguins trying to grow up hoping on their penguin scholarships to help them out of the reservations and into the Americanized Antarctica.
+JustinBobcat Well every country that would have the power to mine there. If Antarctica were to become completely claimed and then everyone who owned the claims renew the mining part of the deal, then if another country like Brazil decided they wanted to mine there, because they hadn't signed the treaty, as long as the treaty didn't require the countries that signed to give up their claims, Brazil would have to go through those countries who have claims first. Now if everyone but say the UK were to sign the treaty then all the countries that signed wouldn't be able to mine, but the UK could mine, at least in the land that they claimed was theirs (and if they wished to prevent international tension, only the land that everyone else agreed was theirs and wasn't claimed by someone else).
+JustinBobcat I think not wanting people to drill in Antarctica is a sentiment a lot of people would agree with. It would mess up an ecosystem in one of the few places where we haven't messed it up.
+JustinBobcat everyone who's part of the treaty has to agree to the treaty those who agree to the treaty might enforce the rules from that treaty, if that is part of the treaty since I don't know the exact wording of the treaty and can't be bothered to read the thing, I'd say this is the safe answer: if enough major forces agree to the no mining thing then there will be no mining there for however long they agree on and I'd be surprised if they go promining, as that will get a LOT of border disputes, which could end up in tempers, which could end up in war, which could end up with a nuked away earth, which none of the countries (apart from north-korea maybe :P) want
Fun story: my uncle has worked as a legal advisor to the US ambassador to the UN for a couple decades now and one time he was sent on a trip to Antarctica where he caught both the PRC and Russia illegally dumping waste
The treaty bans new sovereign states making claims and also bans new sovereign states from developing there, but if you don’t make a country here no one will except the claim and thus no one will act on it.
I offer you a treaty in which you own the majority of that land and I get a piece of that coast I request a minimum of 100 by 100 square miles and we both get transit rights to each other also the area must have at least 2 tribes of penguins so I can negotiate with the natives do you agree to these terms on behalf of your nation?

Actually Schrodinger's cat analogy is a counter-example. Its meant to illustrate how absurd it would be to apply quantum mechanics to macroscopic systems.
According to Finnish tradition, birds own everything that humans don't, so penguins own Antarctica, and if a person has a heart, he won't take Antarctica away from the birds. 😊
As an Australian, I have to admit an imperialist thrill that comes with having a big piece of land just for fun. I can see why big mom Britain did it so much.
My dad went to Antarctica and he Can testify for all of this. He went on a work trip (he’s a nature filmmaker) to the American base. All of the things said in this video are true, even the part saying China builds based wherever they want. Edit:typos
The most powerful entity can own anything it wants. Weak entities are destroyed or left with the scraps. This is and always will be the one truth that governs mankind.
+Fernando Batista So I was reminded that Google exists. It's unclaimed because is extremelly remote, and the USA took the first steps to claim it in 1939 but didn't went all the way through. Good for the penguins.
+Fernando Batista Another piece in that puzzle is to look at a resource map of the continent. The places where people think the good stuff is has already been snapped up.
OT -- Until 3:40 I had never happened to see ice that actually appeared blue (iirc, at least). Now I finally understand what the heck people are talking about when they say "ice-blue eyes" etc. Thanks!
I've always found the territorial claims over Antartica fascinating. So many overlapping claims. Sovereignty is a curious problem for the world's only (mostly) unhabited continent. I suspect that one day space colonization will pose similar thorny issues like this.
I have one request, can you do that "Civilisation Tech Tree" video. I mean the picture at 0:58. I would really like the video explaining that. BTW great video! ;) bye
+Hazardfireflyvlogs I wonder what he'll talk about. From the way I see it, complex life on other planets, especially as advanced as humans, are slim. I hope he'll do a mini series from everything to pop culture, myths and science
I feel like a war over Antarctica would inevitably bring conflict onto the landmass, but that would in-turn lead to the destruction of part of (if not the entirety of) the resources which would be fought over. Seems like the perfect battleground to model human conflict.
+Lawrence Clarkson While I don't actively mock them, I think they're childish. It's no one else's responsibility to pander to a minorities issues. I don't see paraplegics demanding to be carried up stairs, they find an alternate route/ramp and leave everyone else well alone. Certainly, those ramps are mostly mandated, but that's hardly as intrusive as the intent of "trigger warnings"(to silence discussion on a matter someone finds disturbing). If the content isn't ideal for this person's consumption, perhaps they should read something else instead of expecting the world to revolve around them. It seems like it's a cry for attention more than anything else... Warnings are for the operator, what you're referring to ("Stop this or i'll have a breakdown") is a threat that children make. You know what, computers should have mandated warning labels just like even the most innocent TV shows do now a days, "User discretion is advised". That puts the responsibility solely on the user, where it ought to be.

So it's a Schrodinger's continent?

Sheldon Cooper is real?
Actually Schrodinger's cat analogy is a counter-example. Its meant to illustrate how absurd it would be to apply quantum mechanics to macroscopic systems.
@@realmrjangoon what?
According to Finnish tradition, birds own everything that humans don't, so penguins own Antarctica, and if a person has a heart, he won't take Antarctica away from the birds. 😊
Antarctica: *exists*
Australia: haha claim go brrrrrrrr
As an Australian, I have to admit an imperialist thrill that comes with having a big piece of land just for fun. I can see why big mom Britain did it so much.
You're too early go back to your palace
@@blablabubles same. When I look at a map I tend to think of ways to invade and conquer them. Then how to make them sustainable territories.
3:01 is that the Chilean flag AND Texas flag being flown on the same building?
No, just Chilean. That "Texas" flag really represents Chile.
xD
Opre Roma! The flag on the left is the texas flag tho
xd ikr
I noticed that too. XD
2:51
What about the circle portion under the blue zone ?
My dad went to Antarctica and he Can testify for all of this. He went on a work trip (he’s a nature filmmaker) to the American base. All of the things said in this video are true, even the part saying China builds based wherever they want.
Edit:typos
1:55 ussr and USA's eyes squinted. LOL 😂
they sus of each otherXD

Nothing is fucking funny
@@ea-kb6vm You on your period or sum?
I’m surprise Jeff Basos hasn’t bought that unmarked chunk of Antarctica and started to build Amazon factory’s there
Who's he meant to buy it from?

so who owns the NORTH POLE
+Legojake94 santa
Well, there is no land on THE North Pole, but Greenland is the closest, which is owned by Denmark
+Light Bulb! Then you have Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, U.S.A., and Canada, but I believe those are just countries in range of the arctic circle.
+Legojake94 Joint ownership between Santa and Superman
+Legojake94 Considering the magnetic north pole is inside Canada, I'd say Canada.
The most powerful entity can own anything it wants. Weak entities are destroyed or left with the scraps. This is and always will be the one truth that governs mankind.
4:15 i think you gave us the wrong podcast website. Isn't it dot FM?
Thanks for pointing that out

So why have no one claimed that one wedge at the bottom right? Are thet not allowed or does no one care?
+Fernando Batista So I was reminded that Google exists. It's unclaimed because is extremelly remote, and the USA took the first steps to claim it in 1939 but didn't went all the way through. Good for the penguins.
+Fernando Batista Thanks for taking the time to do the research
+Fernando Batista They can't claim it anymore because of the treaty, I'd expect the US to claim it after it expires though.
+Fernando Batista Another piece in that puzzle is to look at a resource map of the continent. The places where people think the good stuff is has already been snapped up.
+Fernando Batista Because that's the part that borders the Pacific and thus is furthest from any other land
If anyone is interested, the music used is "Bach Partita no 2, Gigue"
One of these days I should design & make a flag, fly over to Antarctica, and "claim" the unclaimed land there.
Who?

Fantastic video once again :)
OT -- Until 3:40 I had never happened to see ice that actually appeared blue (iirc, at least). Now I finally understand what the heck people are talking about when they say "ice-blue eyes" etc. Thanks!

Was anyone else just listening to that wonderful suite in the background?
AtlantaFlier im just trying to find a comment that tells me who composed it and what its called
I've always found the territorial claims over Antartica fascinating. So many overlapping claims. Sovereignty is a curious problem for the world's only (mostly) unhabited continent. I suspect that one day space colonization will pose similar thorny issues like this.
I have one request, can you do that "Civilisation Tech Tree" video. I mean the picture at 0:58. I would really like the video explaining that. BTW great video! ;) bye
1:22, I truely laughed my ass of with America whistling away in the corner 😅😅😅😅😅
Oh I can't wait for the alien episode :)
Judging how many other times he said that he will do another video about a subject he talked about in a video, he never will
true
+Hazardfireflyvlogs I wonder what he'll talk about. From the way I see it, complex life on other planets, especially as advanced as humans, are slim. I hope he'll do a mini series from everything to pop culture, myths and science
Thank you for your great and hard work! I really appreciate good content and you are in my top list of youtubers.
This is wrong.
I own Antarctica. I've decided so a long time ago.
Do you even speak German? It's Deutschland not Deustcheland or Deutcsheland, and it's über, not uber.

Technoblade owns Antarctica duh
Antarctica: Has territories claimed by multiple countries
Also Antarctica: Has a huge amount of space claimed by nobody
could antarctica be the first real place where nations just forget national boarders and just be friends?? it would be an awesome thing!
+Sean ossu NO, I just seen the expiration of the mining ban in 2040!!
+Sean ossu *borders - 'boarders' are people who board!
Good for you.
+Sean ossu That's far too mature a solution to expect from world leaders.
no, because oil
I feel like a war over Antarctica would inevitably bring conflict onto the landmass, but that would in-turn lead to the destruction of part of (if not the entirety of) the resources which would be fought over. Seems like the perfect battleground to model human conflict.
Humans: start mining antarica in 2040
Climate change: not if I have anything to say about it
3:14 Very sneaky with keeping the grey wedge from 2:50.

“Antarctica belongs to the penguins!”

I like how he drew in his claim at 3:16 after mentioning that so far no one has claimed it yet
Every time I go to a family reunion, I see Aunt Arctica. She brings the ice.

Lawrence Clarkson The only reason there's warning on mechanical equipment is that it makes sure nobody can sue you for damage.
Lawrence Clarkson I don't read them, so I couldn't care less.
+Lawrence Clarkson While I don't actively mock them, I think they're childish. It's no one else's responsibility to pander to a minorities issues. I don't see paraplegics demanding to be carried up stairs, they find an alternate route/ramp and leave everyone else well alone. Certainly, those ramps are mostly mandated, but that's hardly as intrusive as the intent of "trigger warnings"(to silence discussion on a matter someone finds disturbing).
If the content isn't ideal for this person's consumption, perhaps they should read something else instead of expecting the world to revolve around them. It seems like it's a cry for attention more than anything else...
Warnings are for the operator, what you're referring to ("Stop this or i'll have a breakdown") is a threat that children make. You know what, computers should have mandated warning labels just like even the most innocent TV shows do now a days, "User discretion is advised". That puts the responsibility solely on the user, where it ought to be.
anyone else see a rough map of the world at 3:56 on the last half of the mountain??
