- Explore what would happen if all of humanity’s satellites disappeared and the real-life scenarios that could lead to such a catastrophe.
--
What would happen if one day all of humanity’s artificial satellites suddenly disappeared? Within hours, most of the planet’s traffic would grind to a halt, the world economy would shut down, and most countries would declare a state of emergency. Even in the best-case scenario, our civilization would be set back by decades. So, what are the odds of this actually happening? Moriba Jah investigates.

Can't believe this concept has never been turned into dystopian novel reality...
E
That’s a scifi I’m trying to create- a future suffering from Kessler syndrome cutting us off from our own orbit
From memory, there is spin that has a similar idea : en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_(novel)
At least for the idea of stopping communications with space. I don't remember what were the implications of it on the ground
It does ! It reminds me of the french novel "Ravage" from Barjavel
I strongly advice you to read it if you like that type of subject
A lot of people want to go back to the 1950s though.
Some 'James Bond Villain' is probably having a eureka moment right now from watching this.
Lol so true
Best plan ever!!! I mean worst plan ever amiright???
Maybe a few 'Johnny English' villains too.
If a criminal got a eureka moment from this they dont have what it takes to pull it off lol.
LOL
I'm no economic expert, but my hypothesis would be that the carrier pigeon industry would see a sharp resurgence, along with tiny malnourished messenger boys to carry information.
Hehe
You are correct with no way of communication using satellites Posts offices and Carrier Pigeons would be back in business but it will take a long time to fix the market crash
ok.
Also how about radios? Cant they be still useful because they were made in 1890 and the first satellite was in October 4 1957?
-Credits are Google,Wikipedia, and www.nasa.gov
That's why you shouldn't insult your weird neighbourhood pigeon guy, he might become your last lifeline to civilisation
Don't give 2021 any ideas Ted-Ed
Lets hope so
🤣
😆😆😆
Lol Lmao
premonition... just wait
TedED: What if satellites suddenly disappear?
The moon: I don't feel so good
ok.
ok.
🤣🤣 lol , their whole video is wasted cuz the answer is there will be no yellow bulb in sky anymore .(poor moon she's gonna disappeare)🤣
0:11 "Artificial Satellites"
@@sampadsaha3031 it is a joke
That was really cool, but horrifying at the same time
While losing all satellites would be a huge loss, we wouldn't lose the internet. Some of the internet's infrastructure relies on satellites, yes, but most of the internet's infrastructure is copper cable and fibre optics, ocean cables and national backbones. It's true that people on ships, on planes, and in very remote areas will have issues, but most people will still have access to information.
Reddit would probably explode when this happens
Explode as in a lot of people looking for what happened and not literally
Yeah, this video gets a lot wrong.
Your cell phone does not talk to space. Most cell towers use a fiber backhaul.
Stock traders wouldn't be caught dead using a high latency connection from space.
Satellites don't have anywhere near the bandwidth to act as a major internet backbone.
There's also no time sync device that will go haywire due to a loss of GPS signal, or it would go nuts all the time. There's also plenty of ground based time services that don't rely on GPS timers.
Almost all phone navigation uses cell tower timing for location, not gps. So a lot of people would still be able to get around. Also most traffic lights are either totally isolated running by themselves or use an internet connection through a cell tower or ground cable.
They don’t necessarily say we would lose the internet.
@@clayel1 They kind of do though.. at 2:46 they suggest that "even in the best case our civilisation will be set back decades" showing the year 1950 and then showing a person's phone with no signal, and then showing how we'd be returning from the internet back to radio.
Wait a minute...this isn’t Kurzgesagt!
Never had been
I always thought it was "Kurtzgesagt" lol
Kurzgesasgt wants to nuke the Moon
Talking about spelling it, I don't even know how to pronounce it.
dun, dun , DUN!
"since most objects sent to space are not designed with disposal in mind"
International regulations require satelites operators to submit an end-of-life plan before launch.
Why am I already scared
welcome the anxiety team *breathes heavily*
Every government agency after watching this must start gathering manuals from half a century ago
USA: *moves attention away from nasa and pulls money out of their budget*

Let The truth be told. Stock Are very good no doubt, but investing in forex and crypto market is not a bad idea with it current status, I was skeptical when I started investing but no more, it has really proven to be very profitable
That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like Mr Edward Jones
I was introduced to him by my colleagues few months ago after I lost about $40,000 USD in the stock market crash, he has helped me stand on my feet and recover all I lost in the stock market and even more than bitcoin trading
Expert Edward Jones has been managing my trade for months and I keep making profits every week , made $9,130 last week
My first investment with Mr Edward Jones gave me the assurance that has made me invest without the fear of losing, I got four of my friends involved with him already
They are actually answering all the questions which use to came in our mind in childhood ... ( And now we don't care them ) .

Goodbye mobile communication and goodbye large parts of the internet
ok.
Aand HELLO messenger pigeons!
@@xmarksthespot6699 admit it, pigeons would be WAY cooler than fiber optics though
uhmmm both of those dont normally travel trough satellites
@@DUKEisALIVE yea, that’s kinda the point.
I used to be a signal soldier. We trained during certain exercises on how to communicate long distance without satellites for any reason we don’t have access to the satellites. The ground work was laid down years ago for long range radio, my unit had people maintain the towers as well so that we could still use them. Idk how well covered the US is but it’s covered well enough that we can continue to be an effective force.
LIT BRO
Today we have fiber optic cables spanning the globe. The Internet would still work fine.
You have some kind of misunderstanding. No outer earth atmosphere satellite is used for any telecommunications or internet communications around the world that's all done by cable and underground and above the ground cables and no satellite out of the atmosphere of Earth is used for any commercial military or private navigation on aircraft that's all done by ground base stations as well
@@charlieangkor8649same with navigations as no space satellites are used for any navigation related to military, commercial, and private, navigation of aircraft

This needs to be turned into a movie or a book
true 😂
And now thnks for the idea , I need to do this for you now my audience...
If only we had a ground-based, low latency communication system that could relay data at the speed of light.
IKR?!? I think Ted might be out of his depth on this one.
Nobody cares until it happened. 2020 prooves that nobody prepares for rare disruptive events.
How are we going to clean earth's orbit?
Space debris removal would be a great topic for a video!
Seeing the title, I thought it was a
"What If" video!
😂😂😂
Well the show will just move from the tv screen to outside my window 🍿
India's traffic will not stop wheather the satellites stay or disappear
That’s why I don’t get flat-earthers
Honestly, THE most terrifying Ted video ever
The animation and the quality of videos never ever disappoints me.
Great video Ted-Ed👍👍
Me: Watching this video
Satellite: vanishes suddenly
Me: *B R U H*
TedEd be like-joke is on us😂🤣
I think you’re overstating the harm. Yes, it would be large, but most of the Internet goes through fiber; that would still work. The markets could adjust to NTP instead of PTP timestamps, which are still more accurate than anyone needs for non-computer purposes. Navigation and a *small* amount of communication would be the hardest of the things you mentioned to bring back up
Satellites suddenly disappeared, meaning no technology.
Me: Proceeds to wear my medieval outfit and starts a new life
Dark Souls then?
I was about to do a presentation on the importance of space exploration ,thank you .
"Hey lets test our anti-satellite weapons in space! What could possibly go wrong anyway?" Said many countries leaders
Love how TED-Ed makes such small simple questions that maybe won't come across my head astonishing and mind blowing with those simple detailed answers!
Just amazing♥️
Except this time Ted is wrong.
@@sarasotauptoseattle Is there anything special you noticed that I've missed?!
@@Romeo7610 If we lost all satellites, we would still have copper, fiber and cell technology. Continents are connected by underwater fiber optics and there is redundancy built into most modern day computing and communication systems. Losing satellites would hinder things like GPS and satellite internet, but we wouldn't go back to the dark ages like the video suggests.
@@sarasotauptoseattle I totally agree with you that it won't take us 70 years back neither to the dark ages ...
But I do really believe that the sudden loss of the international communication systems like GPS will provoke unwilled results not because of technology itself but because of political and regional related cases.
I Really appreciate your words btw 🙌🏻💙
@@Romeo7610 It would definitely be bad. That's for sure. I'm not trying to minimize it, but it wouldn't cause an accidental nuclear war or anything like that. It would be a communications nightmare for governments, airlines, financial systems, etc., but it still wouldn't halt communication completely. We communicate (globally) without satellites right now.
thanos: modern problems require modern solutions
*snaps all satellites out of existence*
When ur fast
But not fast enough
Now _that_ is the best example of a bad 'Eureka!' moment.
😂
It’s amazing how much our world benefits from our discoveries in space, yet depressing how some deny they ever happened at all
FYI for the timing failure (which leads to some of the biggest consequences) is extremely unlikely if only satellites go down. Network Time Protocol (NTP) has multiple high quality reference clocks, which yes includes satellite references, but also includes ground based reference clocks. These would still be reachable via ground-based internet systems (fiber/copper). So in the asteroid scenario, timing is no big problem. Of course, it would only be the tip of the iceberg of problems in the solar flare scenario that takes out anything with a microchip...
I bet there's going to be that one James Bond villain that develops a superweapon capable of deactivating satellites.
This is the danger of relying too much on interconnectedness.
im not sure "all satellites suddenly disappearing" is a situatuon we need to plan for
We'd still be connected, you don't need satellites for internet and phone communication
This feels like a kurzgesagt video. You all should collab and team up!
2:14 I don't know if it's random but Bangladesh is left out of the countries that declare national emergency under this hypothetical scenario!
When you are so early that the comments are seconds ago
um- well this is scary
Very eye-opening, the vulnerability of modern society on satellites is somethi9ng that should be studied.
Imagine you’re watching this video then your screen just shuts down...
I would check my circuit breaker.
0:51 Not necessarily. GPS makes navigation a lot easier and is more accurate on longer flights. That being said, just remember that aircraft (like ships) were crossing oceans before GPS was launched. Aircraft are equipped with secondary means of navigation. Pilots are trained to make use of alternative navigation fallback systems. These include VOR/DME and NDB beacons which make use of radio transceivers for tracking. The good old compass can also be used rudimentarily. Digital maps can also be used, even if not plotted using GPS.
Air traffic control will still be able to track aircraft via radar and transponders, so they’re perfectly able to coordinate airspace and arrivals/departures.
I’d say that aircraft would not be grounded if this were to occur. I’d imagine the same for ships.
Solar flares are a huge threat though as these could very well knock out modern technology, power grids, radios etc.
Many VOR/DME stations have gone out of service and only a fraction of what we had a couple decades ago remains today though. I don't actually think there are enough VOR/DME systems in operation right now to sufficiently navigate with.
That being said, most, if not all modern airliners also have intertial reference systems that track the movements of the aircraft itself to determine where on the globe it is. IRS systems can probably take over navigation on short and medium haul flights. They require entering the coordinates of the aircraft when initialising the IRS system but those can simply be pulled from a map. IRS loses accuracy over time making it unfit for ocean crossings though. But perhaps a combination of IRS with VOR/DME beacons located on the coast could make cross-ocean navigation feasible again without satellites.
Roses are red, Violets are blue, I love Ted-ed so I gave them a view ;)
TedEd answering questions i never thought of but now think of
Ted-ed: what if satellite disappears
Me: I'll call my friends/family...., I'll search about it on internet....
Hey wait i can't do that ahhh!!!
Unless you live in the middle of nowhere and have satellite internet, your internet would still work perfectly fine. Also you phone connects to cell towers which connect to an underground cable.
False. You can still use the Internet at almost full capacity without satellites.
Can you imagine a commercial airplane pilot pulling out a map to see where you are? 😳
Sattelites: *die*
Almost the entire world: *collapses into fragmented city-states struggling to obtain food and water*
People living in rural Africa: “Amateurs”
Most people on small- to medium-sized farms would express similarly.
2021: Imma bout to do what 2020 didn't
I can't agree, I don't understand how TED links everything to satellites. We still have landlines, even now it 's called fiber. And cellphonestowers here don't use satellites...
Ted in 2015: "What if there's a new virus outbreak"
Me: "That's never gonna happen lol"
TedED: What if satellite disappear?
2021: *smirks*
It’s amazing how our satellites became like stars for more than our navigational purposes, but also for economic and entertainment purposes.
I wonder how often we launch new satellites though.
Ted-Ed do be slamming us with lessons everyday
Fact, it can be possible, as illustrated in the video in an event called Kessler Syndrome. It happens when a satellite (or any object in space) hits another satellite, then that same satellite hits 4 more, then 16, then 128, and so on.
ur vids r cool
My grandpa still have those 80s phone in his house. when i asked why, he said the new tech nowadays cant be fully trusted so this was his backup plan.
it still didn't make sense to me until now.
That phone won't be any more or less affected then your smartphone
@@stefanbuist i guess, but rolling phone dont use satellite i think they use cables
@@starboysuniverse9956 cellphones don't use satellites either they use cell towers
@@stefanbuist hmm good point so only the internet will shut down but not calls.
well i doubt that. the place where all the stuff is managed like the office that holds your record if you have paid your mobile plan or not will all shut down now that could have a big impact onvyour calls, i mean my mobile usually runs out when i haven't payed my plan so i dont think they will still work
@@starboysuniverse9956 the thing is the internet would keep working. That claim in this vid rather unfounded as the internet just doesn’t really rely on satellites. If it failed basically all calls are routed over the internet at some point so all calls would fail (on consumer networks).
I didn't realize the internet relied so much on satellites (other than for rural connections), so that's something I've learned today.
But it doesn't. This video gets a lot of things wrong. The internet uses mostly fiber optics cables and would be fine without satelites.
"Economy collapses and our civilization gets set back by decades at the very least"... And I'm like: "My sport watch won't pick up GPS signal. How would I record my runs (and rides)?!" 😅
I'm thanking God 2020 didn't think of this
Meanwhile 'just another day' for people living in villages growing their own food, sitting in community for chat and entertainment.
I really liked how many people of color were depicted in this. Good job TED-Ed! Representation matters.
I like way the narrator calmly talks about total destruction of modern civilization. 😂
Just needed this🔥
ok.
Why oh why did I click on this?
_shivers in 2020 flashbacks_
someone make a movie out of this concept I think it would be pretty cool
2021: Write that down
Aumsum be like. What am I supposed to do now? 😆
Huh?
This is great ❤️❤️. Could you guys please make one for How would the Earth Look without Global Warming and Other Man Made Disasters like animal extinction and stuff?
This is so absurd it makes me angry. Most of the core technology for most of the services here are fiber optic, not satellite. It would not be nearly this devastating in the short term.
And this terrible ted talk forgot the second most important thing we'd lose. Weather forecasting.
Hundreds of millions of Internet connections would vanish, or be severely overloaded. A similar number of cell phones would be rendered useless. In remote areas, people dependent on satellite for television, Internet, and radio would practically lose all service👍
Ted Ed doing"what if"
What if: mai kya karu , job chhod doon fir
Lol
Thanks for creating this anxiety that I didn't know I had...
Ted-Ed: * Makes a What If Video *
What If: Wait, that's Illegal!
WHAT IF ALL SATELLITES DISAPPEARS?
Sokka's girlfriend: *boop*
The real question is how and why would they disappear I am need answers Ted
I don't need lunch I need answers!
Good I Deal, too many in the Sky, there is a dark secrets about them the Government doe's not want the Public to find out about, and think about the Privacy issue with them in the wrong hands.......
Atomic time connected to the internet is used by many internet connected devices. While losing GPS would seriously affect mobile devices, there is plenty of redundancy available for things like bank transfers/transactions, stock trades, military, and governments where needed.
Ahh that starting sound is so satisfying, It fits perfectly for every TED-ED video.
Satelites: *destroyed*
People addicted to the internet: *internal screaming*
Lol me
Internet doesn't use satellite
I’m amused at the writer’s need to apply the present tense.....
idk why, but when he mentioned the collisions of satellites, my brain immediately made up cinematic scenes of satellites crashing into each other and spewing debris, with earth in the background
Ok?
today my student asked me this question. And now here is this video😁
Isn’t the moon also a satellite, just a natural one?
That would certainly mess us up a lot like the tides. But there’d be more stars at night tho.
no.
@@devathma Just grabbed this from a NASA article: A satellite is an object that moves around a larger object. Earth is a satellite because it moves around the sun. The moon is a satellite because it moves around Earth.
But you’re also right since same article also mentions this: But usually when someone says "satellite," they are talking about a "man-made" satellite. Man-made satellites are machines made by people. These machines are launched into space and orbit Earth or another body in space.
@@devathmano , moon is the only satellite of earth . And others are artificial.
Ted Ed: learning but fun
But isn't the most internet traffic going through fiber optic cable (without the need of safelites)?
Like banking, TV-shows, home internet, ...
The most intresting/fun/horrifying concept in one video
For one thing, we wouldn’t have this video or the rest of the internet to guide us.
Why in the world am I feeling really happy while watching this
