    Man, whoever came up with these architect ideas are either more ambitious than me on a bad day, or is just crazier than me. I didn't know there was people with bigger kahoonies than me. I'm a crazy guy, i can admit that, but after watching this, i now know there's people worse than me, and i'm quite a crazy and weird guy myself, and that's to put it lightly

    The Freedom Ship just sounds like a horrendous concept. Freedom to me is away from other humans, not packed like sardines without escape 😮 Liked the NOAH one though, the space hanging skyscraper was hellish sounding and the helter-skelter car drive would do my head in 🎪😂 None of these really appealed to me but fascinating to see what might have been 😊

      It wasnt that bad, if u have money thats actually great. It has barely enough for an airport. u can literally jump in the ocean if theres no dangerous animals in the area. oceanic activities would be regular like water surfing, speed boating. U can also take a jet a fly over the ocean.

    Regarding the Manhattan dome, has anybody ever held a magnifying glass to an ant or piece of paper? The glass concentrates heat, therefore making things really hot for anybody underneath it. With the thing being a dome the heat will have nowhere to go. And then there’s the impact on plant and animal life. In the long run, it would do more damage than good. On top of that, imagine how much repairs would cost lol.

    Interestingly, I didn't find the death pyramid price "THAT" expensive in today's prices. I mean you made comparisons to The Shard... And interestingly, the price mentioned it exactly the same as the cost of The Shard.
    Now it was ugly - although would have taken very very very few adjustments to look iconic.

    24:19 I feel like there is no possible way that this structure would work. Firstly, it would likely cost hundreds of billions, if not trillions of dollars to just transport the materials to build this thing. Secondly, if a fire started on this building, it would be extremely difficult to extinguish it. Thirdly, if it drifted of course towards the Andes mountains, the bottom of the skyscraper could hit a mountain peak. Fourthly, you can't just add millions of tons of weight to an asteroid and expect nothing about it's orbit to change. Fifthly, this building would have a ton of surface area and thus have a huge chance of getting hit by a chunk of space junk. Finally, what would happen if a hurricane hit the skyscraper?

      I completely agree with everything you are saying. Given that all calculations involved have to be accurate to at least the billionth and the fact that climate change is contributing more and more to hurricanes along the east coast and below, being able to build it and let alone LITERALLY HANG IT FROM ORBIT is never going to be possible.

    Hi sir I am Eren Jaeger and I am from South Africa and I have a revenge story.
    In December 2022 we went on a middle school excursion to play paintball. There were rules like we had to stay 10 meters away to shoot our opponents because those bullets left a mark even from far away. So my classmate Ron shot his opponent Alex in the ear at a close distance, even though he was wearing a helmet he still got temporary hearing loss and required medical attention. My male teacher really liked Alex and got angry at Ron.
    He and Ron went into the arena and he gave Ron a chance to run away before he got shot, so Ron began run but before he got away, he got shot in the back from 4 meters away. Ron was crying and everyone was laughing, even the teachers!!!He had no medical attention and needed tons of ice to heal.😂😂😂😂

    The Freedom ship was a con game, with the "backers" of the project selling space on it BEFORE it was built... and investigations proved not only that this wasn't being built anywhere in any shipyard in the world, but the "Backers" hadn't even ordered the massive engines needed to move this monstrosity (The specialized engines were built by only a few specialized construction companies, and took a year to build.... and THESE companies had never heard of or ever been contacted by the "Backers" of this project.), nor had contracted with the specialized shipyards capable of making anything this big.
    They hadn't even bought the materials needed to begin building it. Those behind it were subsequently arrested and charged with fraud as they couldn't show this ship being built anywhere in the world.

      I still wonder what would happen if a hurricane hit it. Or if the top of the tower got hit by a piece of space junk. Or how they would get people in and off that thing. Or how they would build it. Or what would happen if it caught fire. Or what would happen if a window on one of the top floors broke. Or what would happen if it got blown off course and towards the Andes mountains, with some peaks exceeding 11,000 ft. Or how inertia alone would stop the whole thing from crashing down. Or what would happen if there was an explosion near the top of the tower. Or...

You could look out the window in the morning and see your neighbors house and look out the same window before bed and see the ocean.

  • @bvoyelr
    @bvoyelr Рік тому

    Regarding 20:40, if an elevator got to 60mph and reached a floor a mile up in one minute, that would kill everyone on board and then catapult their corpses into the ceiling of the elevator.
    Ascending 1 mile in 1 minute at 60mph means the elevator would have to start at and stop from 60mph instantly with no time to accelerate or decelerate.
    Realistically, it's entirely possible that an elevator *couldn't* hit 60mph in that short of a span without causing a noteworthy amount of discomfort in its passengers. If it did hit that speed, it would only be for 10 or so seconds at best. The rest of the time would be accelerating and decelerating at rates that didn't make passengers violently ill.

    But if you dangle a massive building from an orbiting asteroid with the bottom end in the air. Wouldn't that turn lower part of the building into a massive airbreak that'd slow down the asteroid and cause it to fall out of orbit? That's literally Aerobreaking, a technique used to slow down space probes to bring them into orbit without having to burn fuel.
