Humans are the actual scourge of the earth. Sadly most think global warming is what ruins this world. Yet its our own ambition and greed. It will consume us and our future generations if we dont all stand together and focus on the longevity of our species. As long as we as a species can overcome greed we can do anything.

    One thing you didn't mention was learned behaviour. The ingress of wild species might take a few generations, and species that learned to fear humans gradually return. Nuclear reactors will eventually 'scram' and go cold, not explode. Degradation of houses would take considerably longer, there are plenty of real world abandoned examples. Highly doubt any plastic would last more than 100,000 years, let alone 100 Million. Rushmore would have eroded long before this. I really enjoyed this video, thank you.

I would be shocked if the majority did not have various backup generators and dead man's switches to shut down in a sustained period of no human input.

      They are designed to shut down and even if they did explode we saw that in Fukushima and guess what it wasn’t that violent yes we did vent some gases but all that did was save the 2 buildings that didn’t explode then look at how the fall out in Chernobyl(exploded due to a design flaw) the nature has survived and there are dogs and other animals that roam and are fine nuclear power has dangers but this was not accurate to those dangers and these types of inaccurate and misleading information about nuclear power is part of why we didn’t start using it more that and blame metropolitan Edison for their public handling of three mile island and we rely on fossil fuels not the cleaner safer more efficient nuclear

      You saw what happened in Fukushima; the reactors did shut down but the failure of the diesel water pumps meant that the coolant water gradually overheated from residual heat until the hydrogen produced blew the top off the containment building and exposed the cores. There'd be no tsunami to knock out the generators in this scenario but the backup diesel store would only last a few days.

You look at instances of failure as if it’s the common place you learn barely about it then try to use it as it’s gonna happen maybe one reactor out of all if they all shut down would run into a problem and the resulting explosion would be so minor that it wouldn’t even be noticed Fukushima was also 10 years ago be have made a lot of strides with technology since then also and have learned from the Fukushima disaster I don’t think someone who can’t understand that the heat will dissipate and be a non issue due to the stopping of the reaction is a great source compared to the scientists who designed the systems and have had so much scrutiny on them from the minuscule amount of failures they have had over the years but hey most nuclear disasters happened due to human error not the automated systems hell there was evidence of a reactor happening in nature in a cave that didn’t cause an explosion or any issues but again get the bunker ready am I right.

      @@thesilkygamer7332 Talk to the Asian countries currently objecting to the release of waste water from Fukushima whether they think it was a "tiny explosion" ! The control rods stop the neutron chain reaction but don't stop the heat from nuclear decay (about 6% of the total heat). According to Scientific America "NRC regulatory requirements for emergency power supplies is that they be available on the order of a month. You can render a plant in an acceptable condition within a few hours. However, heat is still being generated. If you had to stop, at any point, carrying away that heat, it would start building up again. Emergency cooling systems have to be available for weeks". And I doubt many can operate for weeks with absolutely zero human interaction. The average age of nuclear power plants in the US is 40, although I'm sure lessons were learned from Fukushima it is too late to make drastic changes to how most of those plants operate.

    The nuclear explanation was a little wonky. Maybe it's the way he worded it, but that's not entirely accurate. The generators won't overheat and explode. The generators come online when there is a loss of grid power. The reactors will go in to shutdown mode and the generators will keep the pumps going, which cools the reactors. Eventually, the generators will run out of fuel, which stops the water from pumping, which makes the reactors overheat. Even then, most reactors probably wouldn't explode, they would melt down, causing the fuel to burn through their containment vessels and into the ground beneath the plant. This has many other horrible ramifications, but it wouldn't happen all at the same time, as there are several different kinds of reactors and containment systems which would behave differently.

    • @doggonemess1
      @doggonemess1 2 роки тому +4

      A further bunch of notes:
      The satellites wouldn't fall out of the sky because of a lack of battery power. They use solar panels. They would fall out of the sky because all satellites have slowly degrading orbits. Some have fuel onboard to boost their orbits to prevent this. Eventually, they would all run dry and come back to Earth. Some satellites and the ISS would burn up within a decade, but many satellites are in higher orbits that degrade much more slowly. This would most likely take centuries, not decades.
      Rivets are used in some bridge construction, but not all. It's more likely that the concrete bridges would fail first.
      The Eiffel Tower is NOT made of steel. It's made of wrought iron, which is a very different alloy of iron. The Statue of Liberty has a wrought iron core paneled with copper sheets.
      Mt. Rushmore is maintained constantly. It's unlikely it would last more than a few hundred years without human intervention. Cracks in the granite have to be filled to prevent water from entering and cracking the rock during winters.

    There would not be a nuclear meltdown, once human input stops the safety mechanisms of all the nuclear power plants will kick in which will stop the nuclear reaction within 6 hours of the last human interaction. Once the control rods of Boron are fully inserted into the reaction chamber of the reactor the reaction stops, and the fuel for the diesel generators is sufficient for the cooling period of the reactor without an ongoing reaction in the chamber.
    It is a lay myth that without human intervention nuclear reactions will lead to meltdowns, this is not the case as there have always been safety mechanisms to prevent the reaction from running out of control, these controls were strengthened after the Chonobol disaster. Yes, there would be pockets of radioactivity where the reactors (or nuclear weapons were) but this would be localised and the decay would follow a well-established path course some issues as the buildings eventually degrade but not the disaster implied by this video.

    How lucky the Earth would be if this were to actually happen.

      In reality, the Earth doesn't even know nor care that we exist on its surface. Since its formation billions of years ago it has undergone and survived countless catastrophic events to reach the point it has today. We're merely a temporary virus on its surface, a skin rash, if you will. It'll continue it's journey through the galaxy for a few more billion years and that'll be that.

    @ 04;05 The diesel generators aren't stored in cold water tanks. The used fuel rods are stored in tanks - the diesel generators circulate the water to keep the fuel rods cool (amongst other things) in the event of electrical outage. The rods won't explode per-se, but they will boil off the water (which also acts as a radiation shield) and then with no cooling water will burst into flame.
    And if there are no humans around, this happening won't occur in 'Human history' as there is no one left to record this.

    This is beautiful. We humans think we've conquered our world but the reality is we are as fragile and insignificant as we were 100,000 years ago. Earth will continue on, with or without us, until our star engulfs it in its final stages of life. That we aren't focused on this inevitability, blows my mind. Imagine what humans could accomplish if we weren't so focused on our own tiny lives. For me, the focus of our species should be solidly on making sure we survive as long as possible, to see what is possible. That will require moving on from this planet. I'd love to say we are working in that direction, but, it would be a lie. We're so quagmired in superficial, ignorant, short-sighted, illogical, apathetic, delusionary concepts that it is hard to see us surviving for much longer, in the grand sceme of time. If we aren't smart enough to realize this, so be it. Let's make room for the next species to try.

      What are you talking about lmao? Space exploration is taking big leaps recently. The sun is expected to explode in another 10 billion years. The main issue we are facing right now is climate change and global warming which people are starting to take actions to try and resolve.
      Not everyone can be focusing on these things because the world still needs to function and most of the jobs people are doing are necessary for that.
