Love how you choose a topic no one talks about. Brilliant stuff.
Actually this topic has been covered by Tom Scott 4 years ago... and many more have recently covered it.. such as CNBC, DeutcheWelle, Tech Insider and many more.
What the hell are you talking about this video does talk about sand
4:25
You heard it here First Ladies and gentlemen.
Sand is exctraded from River beds, Oceans, and bitches.
Right on 👍🏽.
😂😂
I specifically paused while recording to say "beech" 😂
@@CuriousReason thank you for the video really did enjoy it 👍🏽
Underrated.
FYI, desert sand has little use; the grains are too smooth and fine to bind together, so it is not suitable for the making of for instance concrete. ... This sand is not used in construction, as its grains are too smooth and fine to bind together for building materials.
Such interesting topics, this is first I heard about any of these
That Australia exports sand and camels to Saudi Arabia is a fact that sounds false but is actually true
Camels! Sand is one thing... But camels!
There are camels in Australia???????
@@xerogue Camels are an invasive species in Australia. They're considered vermin by the government and can be hunted by anyone.
Yup very funny but true.. Present days Camels are imported another counties.. Saudi had camels long before
I never thought someone would be able to get rich by selling sand
Do you not live in a concrete jungle?
This channel is going to BLOW UP 110.1% interesting topics that are rarely covered
Really intersting topic, it does make a lot of sense!
How is this channel not bigger?!
Very good Video👍
That was really cool -thanks
This channel is gold!
Desert sand is too fine and smooth to be used for construction
No were not someone said this before and someone on that video comment section explained perfectly what people mean(construction wise) and why were actually not "running out" basically because the many ways you can actually make sand artificially
Anakin "I don't like sand it's course, rough and gets everywhere."
This guy "EARN BIG BUCKS SELLlING SAND"
Anakin "I love sand it gets stonks everywhere"
Good video 👍
The thing is that there is allready a solution to the sand problem. You can use leises and mirrors to focus light on the smother sand to semi melt it and then breake it apart. Desert countrys could open up there desert sand for industrial use. But like the base concept of producing hydrogen in big quantities in costal reagons at the equator. its just a nice idea no one wants to do as it would cost developing money and we have a systhem that works. Its damadging and in the long run the other would be worth it but 10- 20 years are to long and money now .
sub count is going up, as it should be given the good content
Very nice
Gave a new meaning to sand castles.
3:10 i’ve been asking this question for the last 3 minutes and 13 seconds
should do more research. In Italy and other countries they use crushed rock instead of sand.
Like the video first, watch later.
👍👍👍
So the next time you're walking on the beach, enjoying an hourglass, or making cheap, low-grade windshields, think where we'd be without sand!
♩Sand! ♩Sand! ♩Sand!
Can't we make some solution out of plastic that will be strong and will sustain the sand grains. A win win situation.
India is going to extract sand from mining waste which waste we throw in the process of mining we will going to extract sand from that waste
It will take decades for that sand to go through the cycle of growing crops and plants and decomposing them within to build a long term nutrient reserve.
I didn't know you can get rich off of selling sand this is crazy😂. I'm about to sell some of my sand in the backyard
This is not the map of India. Please edit.
You take "Freakenomics" to the next level..
Good job!
Please add subtitles
Peak sand! Sand to the moon!
...or sand from the moon?
I rekon we will eventally start finding loads of cities previously burried in the sand
In this regard of sand changing into forest by planting a significant amount of different plant.So that the sand beneath a plant or trees slowly turn a fertile soil.
China again is the first nation of such experiments and prove to be usable for cultivation...
Saudi Arabia is running out of sand, and the prophet had told this earlier that, a day will come when Arab will be green.
This, this is something nobody talks about. Here's your like my dude
how about mixing manure with desert sand?
From Saudi Arabia thank you good video
Man what about space fountain
Where is Sodi Arabia located?
First of all it’s Saudi Arabia and it’s located in Middle East. (;
The rude part is that this is totally a shortage only in the sense that it's still more economical to grab sand from the ground instead of just chucking appropriate rocks into your favorite variety of pulverizer.
Congratulations.
Sir make sure subtitles in English
شكلي بشتري ارض في الربع الخالي
بالتوفيق وبفتح مكتب تصدير ويبيع لك
Lol the Australian saying, if you can sell sand to the Arabs your making money.
We can harvest sand in moon and mars

فهموني وش يقولو باختصار ❤️
السعودية الرمل فيها بيخلص لانها تبيعه للدول عشان يبنون
انا حاسس ان معلوماته مغلوطة بس هو بيقول ان السعودية و الامارات بيستوردوا كميات كبيرة من برا لان نوعية الرمل اللى بتستعمل فى المعمار لازم يكون خشن و جاى من سواحل بحار و انهار و ان السعودية استهلكت رمالها الساحلية بشكل كبير. كلام مش داخل دماغى.
@@whenlifegivesyouLSD اوك يعطيك العافيه
Sees, 5hey just need to hire a geologist to find the ancient fluvial sand still out there. Or they could just blow apart rocks for some gravel.
Why indian map is put in wrong way .
Why?
Shut your mouth 🤐
No one cares about India so STFU
@@dostonbekdadaboyev4752 why bro?
Because that's the internationally recognized map and it isn't an Indian channel.
I mean isn’t this a good thing?
Believe me you will never run out of sand.
Naaah. It'll have plenty. Don't panic. This is like the uk being underwater by 2005, then 2015... then... wait. Huh? 2025? 2035? Umm.
These videos are great and very interesting. I really like the subjects and the conclusions you reach.
For some constructive feedback, I believe two things are lacking to really make this channel explode and gain the traction and recognition it deserves.
1. Unfortunately, your accent and delivery is very difficult to understand, almost incomprehensible. You have a very very heavy non-english-speaker accent, you speak very fast, you merge lots of words together, your plosives are weakened (something common in what sounds like german or slavic language background), and the use of a very heavy "wuh" sound instead of "v" (Whery instead of very, for ex.), makes the delivery quite difficult to comprehend, and as a result, to follow. For this reason, it may be helpful to take some diction classes, speak slower, or get a native english speaker to record your audio. With better sound quality, it is easier to listen (especially science-based videos which are inherently fact-heavy), and more interesting to follow. With more interest, I think listening and subscription counts could go up if the quality goes up.
2. Cite your sources. Since you are presenting lots of technical information, it's important to cite your research, to give even more value and weight to your content.
Txs for listening.
Cheers and good work..
Yeah, it didn't bother me too much up until he said "gray-vell" instead of "gravel", and "slit" instead of "silt". Good quality closed captions can be a solution though, there are some channels I really enjoy but end up ignoring or muting the audio in favor of reading the captions to actually absorb what's being said, rather than having to intently listen and interpret what they're trying to say.
No-one talk about this
Iceland running out of Ice
And Greenland has a lot of ice heh.
The WHOLE world is using sand like crazy and we will pay the price faor over using it.
I'd say get it from Afghanistan .
End forced labor
Abolish land lords
What do you mean with land lords? I agree abolishing forced labour, slavery and conservation camps that many countries. But private property ownership is good thing compared to ownership by investment companies that rise prices to unaffordable levels.
@@extended_e I am forced to work just because someone is extorting me every month. That is forced labor.
Land lords are a public health hazard
Property hoarding should be illegal
Rent is extortion
Eviction is violence
No one gets a second house until everyone has one
@@GaasubaMeskhenet while I understand your viewpoint, at same time it is addressing only fraction of system that is creating the problem. True that life is unfair and cruel -> thus ppl hoard more recourses than they need, but how do we solve that? Also ppl create system such as momentary system, politics, religions etc. and then selfish intellectual inviduals come and abuse those systems and hoard recourses to themselves. Now if we articially restrict middle class, let's say 2 property owners and redistribute their wealth or ban them from owning more than 1 property, the rich inviduals just find ways to bypass restrictions while same time redistributing their wealth. Result would be rich getting richer and poor and middle class suffering. It is stock market, investment companies, extreme rich entities and national policies that are creating issues, and directing frustration anywhere else will only benefit ultra rich and make situation worse. Thus is my honest opinion, what do you think about my thinking?
@@GaasubaMeskhenet honestly I think one of solutions that would in reality work would be moving away from consumerism toward partially self sufficient live style in larger scale it would calm down markets and greatly reduce power of ultra rich/big corpos etc. Also it is completely doable. Examples of this are earth ships, homesteads, rooftop/apartment farming etc. Also making industries more local, specifically God production would even out income disparity. Of course volunteers nomad lifestyle would be beneficial to society if it was done properly like guerilla farming and gracing and techniques allow with we extra income from short employment. BTW all of this can be done even today, even if invidual is dirt poor, it just takes ingenuity, social engineering and effort.
@@extended_e you'll have to pay me to read that novel
Nice Video!! Very engaging from beginning to the end. Investment like forex and Crypto market. Is way better than any online investment 💯
Everyone has the mind set of investing but getting in contact with a legit broker and account manager is the problem everyone's facing instead the end up losing their hard earned money investing on wrong platforms
I wanted to invest more on Digital currency (BITCOIN ) but the fluctuations in BITCOIN. Value discouraged me into dumping.
I'll recommend Expert mrs pamela Kay Weaver. to you. She's the best ive seen. She trades my fx account and makes me good profits weekly
She trades for me too. My first investment with Mrs Pamela K. Weaver gave me profit over £25,000 and ever since then I trade with her and it has been a good turnups
Please🙏 drop her contact details
Irony.

Acoording to Islam this is the sign of the judgment day

أعتقد أنك من النوع المائع الذي لا يتحمل العيش كالرجال

Everybody has to be somewhere…
Kindly use the "Correct Political Map of India"
That map of India of isn't complete that includes kashmir and ladakh that china and Pakistan illegally occupied maybe the your next video could bring the truth
Kashmir is majority muslim and the population wants to go to Pakistan 😐 apparently it's India illegally occupying Kashmir
@@Char444 yes genocide of Hindus hence muslim majority right
But before that when pakistan attacked kashmir india helped and Kashmir was officially part of India
@@manurajkatare8922 Well that's your choice to believe or not, that happened centuries ago not in present and if you were talking about the 1991 riots then let me tell you, Kashmir was Muslim majority before that
Please don't reply now I won't continue
