@J Silva Yes, using a totally new technology that let's us control matter at a fundemental level would be better... Video ends there, good luck inventing and getting Nobel prizes.
@J Silva yes something like multiple fission bombs that cool the planet quickly and secondary waves that eats CO2 and converts to oxygen such as modyfied stubborn algae. The solar blocking part is also a doable idea since not much material is needed and can help control temperatures. That can probably cut time by several centuries.
@@WhiteWolfos The nuclear bombs are analogous the the mirror, they just block sunlight. They wouldn't work as well on Venus because the atmosphere is already incredibly dense, and not much of the debris from the explosion would be able to block sunlight. Earth would only cool from a nuclear weapon because of what it was able to destroy, whether that be a city, or forest, or caused fires that continued to burn down more things, it is really only the massive amounts of smoke and gas from that which causes the earth to cool because it blocks sunlight. The mirror is the most effective way of doing this. I think an actual plausible idea they may have not realized was that you can begin terraforming with bacteria pretty early on, in the upper atmosphere of Venus. This could mean making huge balloons that carry large amounts of water filled with cyanobacteria to begin removing CO2 even before the planet has cooled on the surface. You could also just introduce a GMO cyanobacteria to the clouds of Venus themselves. I'm not a chemist or a biologist, so I cant really say this would be entirely possible as they may be issues with reproduction of the bacteria, or the acidic environment in the clouds may just be too great even for a heavily modified cyanobacteria.
@@dubbyy_ amounts of nitrogen on earth & venus are the same, there's no reason to remove any from Venus Amounts of carbon and oxygen on earth & venus are the same, the difference is just that they're in gaseous form on venus. Removing anything screws the whole planet up! It was once earth like, to make it earth like again, we just need to add back the hydrogen that is light & has drifted off into space & then put the CO2 back into it's solid C & H2O forms & leave some of the oxygen free in the air. Or to put it another way, if we build cloud cities there now with our current tech & retain all waste from all plants/crops we grow as charcoal or carbon fibre, then pretty soon the terraforming will begin happening anyway & the cloud cities that naturally float at the habitable altitude of earth like pressure & temperature, will slowly begin to float lower & lower until they touchdown on the surface & with the addition of hydrogen from a gas giant, we can make oceans with the excess oxygen. Not that we would want to terraform anyway, since the planet takes 8 months to complete a single day cycle, so 4 months of dark, whereas in the clouds the winds act as artificial rotation giving a 4 earth day cycle & unlimited solar & wind power, with an always on industrial high pressure furnace below that we can lower things into to cheaply & easily create carbon fibre, diamonds etc etc without needing any fossil fuels to do it This video's just ridiculous with it's removing CO2 in it's heaviest form before importing H2O in it's heaviest form & then ignoring that once the carbon's gone the forests aren't even possible, while it both exported & imported oxygen for no reason!
Only Mars and sort of Venus are doable. Saturn's moon of Titan is my top candidate. We could walk around on its surface right now if we could avoid freezing to death and with an oxygen mask.

The Sun will only become a Red Giant when we're long gone anyway. The few hundreds to thousands of years of terraforming Venus is nothing compared to the time that the Sun will become a red giant..
The Sun won't suddenly just become a red giant, it would gradually expand, making Venus unterraformable(i think i just made a new word) much earlier than The sun becoming a red giant. But still Venus becoming completely hopeless would also happen after a really long time, giving humans enough time to maybe move Venus and Earth away. If humans ever settle on Venus, I can see it happening like a 70,000 years earlier than Venus' complete inhabitability so after settling they would realise the problem at hand and would frantically try to move Venus away. Earth would also need to move by then due to gradual increase in temperature and maybe they would first move Venus as kind of a test project to see whether it is even possible and then move Earth as a bigger project.
this is why we need the dislike button back, i cant tell if this is helpful or not but it looks like it is! also for me it took ~18 min cause im not so great at listening
@@frequencyy Not really. I have an overlay that displays the dislike amount on a rough assumption. It's always not 100% spot on accurate but it does it job pretty well. The dislike counter is on 10k which is in a pretty good spot. Some may disagree that this might even ever come into practice but the majority of the audience do think that it is possible
I would pay unspeakable amounts of money for a game creatively directed by Kurzgesagt similar to spore wherein you start as a small creature slowly unlocking traits until you gain sentience, then on to civilization-builting, and finally galactic dominion... I know the scope of such a game would be nearly impossible, even for triple-A studios and companies, but one can always dream...
Eh it’s possible. If you add a automatic function and a potentially speed up function. But it’s possible due to some games literally the size of a galaxy and multiplayer exist.
Not exactly what you are asking for, but the game Dyson Sphere Program is a factory builder game that is very satisfying and reminds me a lot of Kurzgesagt when I play it.
Earth took about a billion years to turn in to something that could support any life, and another 3 billion years before it could have supported human life. Turning the hellhole that is Venus into something we can walk and breathe on in only a few thousand years is extremely expedient.
@@naverilllang true, but it certainly isn’t an alternative to Mars. We already are moving plans forward to get to Mars within the next few years, a thousand might be a bit too long for our current purposes 😂
No, these are the easiest ones. The other ones require believing in the infinite power of technological progress - that is to say, waving a magic wand. How could you possibly change the rotation speed of Venus, for instance? The people who talk about those fantasies simply assume there will be future technology that makes it easy, but never seem interested in the details involved.

Actuall nasa: * does a viruall class/ a video explaining in a happy little way why this will be a huge project for this great country and how it can't be done this days *
Scientist have confirmed that we are still 1,000’s of years away from terraforming any planet. We simply do not have the technology. If anything we would terraform earth first before any other planet.
this is the most unfeasible video by them so far. I love the channel but when they casually make big assumptions like usable space tethers (from previous video: would be a big achievement all on it's own) the day/night thing also seems like it would be one of the hardest steps but they glossed over it honestly.
@@reixyz4852 There’s also the issue of casually removing a planet’s worth of CO2 from the surface. Would be better if they marketed themselves as science fiction with roots in physics.
@@reixyz4852 It wouldn't even be worth terraforming anything closer to the Sun than Earth, because of the sun becoming a red giant in a few billion years. I'd support these kind of ideas for places like Titan & Europa though.

"Venus was never terraformed!! It naturally grew life on it!"

@@39ilawis dude, imagine if they WERE from venus, and we just keep going back and forth, terraforming each other, dying out, re-evolving, then terraforming the other again.
@@dislike__button Mars is just as hard and we could not fix the gravity problem. We don't got that gravity problem with venes. Also it may be possible to get venes rotation to speed up at the same time as removing the co2 with the mass drivers due to Newtens second law. It would take time thou. Of note the mirror thing is somthing we got the tech for now and it wouldn't take long the get the space industry for it.
@Aurelia It isn't hard in the same way that it isn't hard for me to build the Burj Khalifa myself with a fork. *Technically* it can be done provided infinite time and resources but that's just being ridiculous.
@@nilnull5457 Plus Mercury has likely according to newer interpretations/observations of MESSENGER data been slowly getting sublimated away by the Sun for at least the last 4.1 billion years and has a whopping 1% chance of entering an orbitally destabilizing resonance with Jupiter that results in the planets orbit changing either taking it into the Sun, or worse crossing paths with Venus and or Earth in the next billion years. Mercury is the only planet which is really orbitally unstable like that its only stabilized by its eccentric 3/2 spin-orbit resonance with the Sun
Shooting stuff with mass drivers is pretty much the solutions to any and every problems. Asteroid? Mass drivers. Need supplies? Mass drivers Cosmic horror showing up? Motherfucking mass drivers.
@0 FQuartz 0 Mass drivers aren’t realistic. Even without an atmosphere, the escape velocity of mercury is 4.3 km/s. This is a minimum velocity. These speeds can’t realistically be achieved in tubes consistently, their is too much power demand, not to mention friction and accurately launching mass onto another planet.
@@guitarrobot9056 slowly...it like what 30 years before climate changes becomes catastrophic, how much longer really is it (obviously not to the point of Venus that was a joke)
Do you even understand the dangers of doing such experiments on the only planet we’re currently living on? Money is the only resource at stake for terraforming venus not humanity.
If humanity suffers because of humanity's decisions pushed on by humanity at least humanity can blame humanity so humanity won't take the blame for humanity's fucking up and destroying humanity
O come now all we need is 5 giant mirrors, 4 sets of Planetary scale MAC batteries, 3 planetary scale Huck systems the a few thousand Mega sized Mining Rigs capable of digin trough entire mountains of ice harder than Tank Armour grade steel, 500-1000 years of Peace where almost all of humanity works together on this project, the monetary equivalent of 100 years of the current GDP of the USA, and a few billion tones of bio engenierd bacteria, easy stuff!! ......at least compared to the Sh*t storm that would be unleashed the moment I comes time to choose who gets to have a piece of the planet....
@@anarchyandempires5452 getting cyanobacteria isn't difficult at all...plus by increasing temp by a bit we would be able to take the ice out with comparative ease.
I’m pretty late here, not even through the video, but I wanna address something I see people say pretty often, “If we can turn (insert planet) into earth, why can’t we fix earth?” I think it’s a multifaceted problem. Humans are naturally curious and as a result like to explore, the idea of “seeing the unknown” is on some level quite enticing for many. Second, it may be economical in nature, the desire to be somewhere at the start is usually driven by this, being at the start of a new world? Even more so. Third is quite simple and seen many times in human history, a desire to move somewhere with less people. It’s a common observation that whenever one group of people learns of a place where their original group isn’t, individuals seem to flock to it, reasons very, but typically relate to a mixture of rising tensions, disagreements, or condensing of population. In the end, I think we should think of the desire to colonize a new place not as abandoning earth, but as seeking a new frontier, in more ways than perhaps obvious at first glance. (Apologies if this was rambling for whoever reads it, I’m tired and seriously out of it at time of typing this)
Yeah. Great video. Nice thinking. But there is one problem. *The human population will peak at 11 billion people, then decrease.* We will never need to colonize other planets.
Let's be honest, we're never going to mass habitate Venus OR Mars. No matter how bad Earth gets, it's never going to be less expensive to terraform other planets. Like, why the hell would we when we're alread not taking up vast swathes of living space here on Earth anyway and population will cap soon. Our main operations in space are going to be around mining resources, until we're capable of harvesting solar to a level that we can send missions outside our solar system- but when you're talking that far ahead you're talking about meta-advances that mean it's impossible to really focus on what that time will really look like.
Mercury has a surface temperature between −173 °C at night and 427 at day. So what do we want to go and do there? It's most likely Terraforming other planets relies on advanced bio-chemical engineering than simple application of physics.
seeing how mass drivers are pretty much rail guns, much like rockets, it'll probably be classified as a military weapon and wouldn't be easily commercialized.
imagine this: we humans make venus habbitable (with the mirrors and everything) but humanity somehow ends before we can colonize it. Many millions of years later humans some human-like entity evolves like humans. At some point the new "humans" decide to explore space. They find the mirrors and realize that they existance was allowed by the work of a previous civilization.

If humans ever settle on Venus, I can see it happening like a 70,000 years earlier than Venus' complete inhabitability so after settling they would realise the problem at hand and would frantically try to move Venus away. Earth would also need to move by then due to gradual increase in temperature and maybe they would first move Venus as kind of a test project to see whether it is even possible and then move Earth as a bigger project.
hmm after much much much much longer, the Sun would implode, but by then maybe Humanity would have moved to another star system by then 🤷🏻♂️

Sounds like the real answer is build a Dyson Sphere first
I would pay unspeakable amounts of money for a game creatively directed by Kurzgesagt similar to spore wherein you start as a small creature slowly unlocking traits until you gain sentience, then on to civilization-builting, and finally galactic dominion... I know the scope of such a game would be nearly impossible, even for triple-A studios and companies, but one can always dream...
Eh it’s possible. If you add a automatic function and a potentially speed up function.
But it’s possible due to some games literally the size of a galaxy and multiplayer exist.
Spore's concept definitely needs a modern redo with a focus on realism instead of cutesy dances and googley eyes
Not exactly what you are asking for, but the game Dyson Sphere Program is a factory builder game that is very satisfying and reminds me a lot of Kurzgesagt when I play it.
civ 6 but better and with birbs
I love spore
A whole new meaning for “Quickly”.
Earth took about a billion years to turn in to something that could support any life, and another 3 billion years before it could have supported human life. Turning the hellhole that is Venus into something we can walk and breathe on in only a few thousand years is extremely expedient.
On a cosmological scale, it is.
A couple millennium as opposed to a couple billion years I’d say is pretty quick
In a humans perspective yes but to the universe that's nothing

No, these are the easiest ones. The other ones require believing in the infinite power of technological progress - that is to say, waving a magic wand. How could you possibly change the rotation speed of Venus, for instance? The people who talk about those fantasies simply assume there will be future technology that makes it easy, but never seem interested in the details involved.

I’m pretty late here, not even through the video, but I wanna address something I see people say pretty often, “If we can turn (insert planet) into earth, why can’t we fix earth?” I think it’s a multifaceted problem. Humans are naturally curious and as a result like to explore, the idea of “seeing the unknown” is on some level quite enticing for many. Second, it may be economical in nature, the desire to be somewhere at the start is usually driven by this, being at the start of a new world? Even more so. Third is quite simple and seen many times in human history, a desire to move somewhere with less people. It’s a common observation that whenever one group of people learns of a place where their original group isn’t, individuals seem to flock to it, reasons very, but typically relate to a mixture of rising tensions, disagreements, or condensing of population. In the end, I think we should think of the desire to colonize a new place not as abandoning earth, but as seeking a new frontier, in more ways than perhaps obvious at first glance.
