I would personally love to hear more stories about your pre UA-cam Era. You mentioned that you did under sea artifact recoveries, I think it would be fascinating to hear some of these stories.
There will be more of that for sure. I wasn't certain how interested people would be in my history in a shut-up-about-yourself-and-talk-about-science sort of way, but it seems folks liked it. So I'll intersperse more of it into the videos.
@@JohnMichaelGodier ugh, that is genuinely music to my ears, John. thank you. You are very much appreciated here. I know you probably know that, but we really do mean it, so it'll always be worth reiterating lol.
I can toss one out while I'm reading the comments section. I worked with a shipwreck called the Nicobar that was discovered off the coast of South Africa in 1987. The ship sank in 1783 with a load of what were frankly numismatic unicorns. Sweden at the time had a currency problem, little silver or gold reserves to strike coins, so they minted these huge coins called plate money out of copper. Sometimes these things weigh pounds. Think of a copper coin the size of a notebook.They were very rare before the discovery of the wreck because, well, copper is valuable. So most examples ended up melted down, so the vast majority of what is preserved came out of this single wreck. So I was traveling through an airport, I suspect it was Orlando, must have been around 2010 with examples of plate money I was working with and I actually got pulled aside by TSA because it set off the detectors. i was cleared after inspection, but the inspectors and I laughed because even after 200 years on the ocean floor, the gunpowder residue from the ship's cannons was apparently still detectable.
I've been curious about underwater artifact recoveries after looking into diving jobs. I'm a bit of an adrenaline junkie, so I just love the adventure of it all! I explore abandoned houses sometimes on my own and it's fun! Would love to hear how John got into the field!
I always love seeing this type of video from you because I know it's not going to be some sort of silly clickbait or a list full of mostly-made-up stories, but verifiable and real neat little oddities.
Every new upload is exciting because somehow I trained myself to only fall asleep with JMG playing in the background. I am 30% of this man’s ad revenue.
I can actually make myself sleepy editing the audio. I'm fine while speaking and editing out my flubs, but the moment I bed the Cylinders music the videos come alive and somehow take on a life of their own.
@@JohnMichaelGodier I must be a super odd one, because I can't ever remember falling asleep to your content, despite finding you at under 2,000 subscribers. It is far too interesting and attention-grabbing content!
You're like my science asmr channel. Seriously though John I really appreciate your content. It's shameful that you're a better source of info than mainstream media.
It must be hella fun, living between your ears. I'm sleepy, cold, groggy, fog headed. Usually, I wouldn't even try to watch science based, nonfiction content in this condition. So, watching this was a what the hell, why not choice this morning. I expected I'd be confused, mildly bored and overwhelmed. I was riveted. I noticed a slight smile. I love people who remind me to be excited and humbled by reality. Thanks. With this, and half a cup of cheap coffee, I'm alert, fully awake and have a head full of interesting stuff to mull over as I do my chores.
I've witnessed the Green Flash, but at sunrise on the beach. It was completely unexpected; both alarming & awe-inspiring. For the briefest moment I had no idea what was happening until the mesmeric light turned yellow and I realised it was the sun. It was stunningly beautiful, almost magical. I'll never forget it.
Well, if it helps, it's going to bud at least one new station. A module that was just added to it is planned to be built up into an independent station and separated from the ISS before then.
The thing I find the craziest about oceans is the fish at the bottom of the Mariana trench, I know things adapt to their environments but how they can survive that pressure is amazing, always wondered what it would be like to get one see how not squishy it is for myself.
Consider this: On the ground at sea level, air pressure alone is crushing down on you at roughly 15 PSI. With the surface area of the average adult human male at about 3000 square inches, that works out to approximately 45,000 total pounds of pressure being applied to the whole body. However, this _external_ pressure is no problem because you have an equal _internal_ pressure pushing back outward. There is no _net_ force exerted on the body. The same is true in the extreme ocean depths. While deep-sea animals are under enormous pressure, their bodies are typically not compressed. Animals that spend their whole lives at extreme depths have no reason to be less squishy than animals elsewhere, but would rupture if they were rapidly raised to the surface due to all of that internal pressure. Of course, something that dives to extreme depths from at or near the surface, such as a whale, does indeed become very compressed (at least the parts of them filled with gases, since liquids and solids aren't really compressible), and therefore less squishy.
I took a college class about planetary formation, and I remember hearing that we could never get close, even remotely close, to Jupiter. The magnetic field is said to be strong enough to interact with the iron in our blood, among other things. ... I don't know if water could isolate an organism against a strong magnetic field... but... it kind of bursts my bubble when I think about life on Europa at least.
Not to worry. The intelligent life there is pretty sure that the lack of such a magnetic field is a great filter, because biology as they know it just doesn't work without one.
Last week I binge watched "1899". I wonder if you also watched it so that you decided to dedicate a video in earth's oceans, which is very interesting. Great video, by the way, you keep on helping us mind tripping and forget the pains of every day life.
@@RealBradMiller True, indeed, because John's videos are usually uploaded around the time that I wake up in the morning and enjoy my coffee before going to work.
Your list of ten ocean mysteries inadvertently taught me about eleven of them. See, I was expecting The Bloop to make the list, but when it didn't, I searched it up and found out it's no longer a mystery. So thanks!
I have seen the glowing seas! Eerie blue is a perfect description. It's especially cool when you drag your hand in the water and watch the wake of your hand glow like magic. And you can see the movements of fish and other life as they alter the blue light beneath the water. One of the coolest things I've encountered at sea, honestly.
On really old MacOS computers, there was a Map control panel that let you find cities, time zones, etc. It was pretty simple and basic. But it had an Easter Egg; if you clicked on a specific location in the south Pacific, you would find Point Nemo labelled as the 'Middle of Nowhere'.
Interesting stuff indeed. The Hibrasil island is interesting bcos there is an island off the west coast of Ireland which matches the legend of Hibrasil, but it was last above water before 10,000 years ago during the ice age. It was consumed with massive amounts of coastal land when the ice melted off. Maybe earlier marinas did see an actual Island.
I agree absolutely. You can see it on Google Earth and it's the exact same place, same shape, even has the rift down the middle. I was just looking up the right terminology, I was called isostatic adjustment and post glacial rebound. And that process is still ongoing apparently👍
Something that makes the green light thing more interesting is that it isn't just a waste wavelength that plants don't use at all, it penetrates leaves much better and while some understory plants are very good at using much more of the available light, the majority of plants use less green than they can blue or red. This also jives with infrared making photosynthesis more efficient since it's even better at filling the understory because plants absorb very little IR, so growth that's not in direct sun gets something and this allows for more diversity in forests too. It's fascinating what life comes up with
I seem to recall reading that, whilst Olympus Mons is obviously very tall, if you were to ascend it you'd barely notice the slope; it would almost feel flat.. Just because the base is so big. Not sure if that's true or not though.
In the Hyperion Universe there is a tropical planet where the islands are actually large mobile organisms/groups of organisms. They float around riding the currents and sailing via the wind.
Another excellent video John! I won't start worrying about the cetaceans until the dolphins start whistling what sounds like "So Long And Thanks For All The Fish"!
I've witnessed a green flash myself and I've always thought they were pretty neat. My favourite oceanic phenomenon has to be rogue waves for the power and spectacle and mystery they invoke. You don't know when they will appear, but when one does you better hope it's not heading for your ship.
Saw a fantastic documentary that suggested fata morgana was behind the sinking of the Titanic. That the iceberg was never spotted, until it was too late, as it was "hidden" due to this mirage phenomenon.
Cenotes are lakes where salt water and fresh water don't mix. They're fascinating. The life in the water stay in their area including plants. Not all water mixes
*AWESOME FACT:* It turns out High Brazil is neither fat nor a morgana - it's exactly *where* and *as* the old maps depict it. My understanding is it subsided & slipped beneath the surface through isostatic adjustment of the ocean floor in the post glacial rebound, which is still ongoing. 👍 It's actually visible on Google Earth. Fascinating stuff, I say, fascinating.
With the point about preservation of historic ships in the Black Sea and Baltic, I'm surprised you didn't mention the Vasa! Best preserved medieval ship in the world. You can still visit her in Stockholm, 95% original, even though she spent 333 years under the sea. Probably the coolest museum in the world if you ask me. Absolute miracle that they pulled her out in the condition they did.
There is a nod to the Vasa in there, one of the photos I used is of it shortly after it was raised. I'm saving the story of the Vasa for video on its own regarding how long our artifacts preserve. But yeah, Vasa is an amazing story and the museum is insanely good.
Yep. I saw some videos on the topic too. What it boils down to is that if a star kicks out a lot of green light it's going to put out a lot of ALL light, where with more red and blue stars they can put out light of their color without putting out so much light that it all runs together to be white light. Of course our sun specifically isn't helpful in this regard: our photosphere, or outermost layer of the sun, is so hot and bright by itself that it makes everything you look at more white until you screen it out. Or until you get large sunspots which tend to look faintly green by comparison.
Being a former Navy radar operator, I can tell you that radars can pickup clouds that look like islands, weather fronts with high humidity (almost looking like a coast line).
One day I'd like to hear about the most boring mysteries there are. As in, things that are genuine unknowns but extremely uninteresting and uninspiring.
I've seen the green flash many times but never over water (at least not from my stand point 😁) Sometimes on very rare occasions the entire sky explodes in the same color but only for a split second
I've seen the green flash a few times. Fata I've seen especially at sea.I've also heard whales singing during my time in the Navy. Beautiful and eerie at the same time.
Hey John, I love your Content! I wonder if you could one day discuss the subject of what kind of State Forms potential advanced Aliens might have? This question has intrigued me for a while.
I live on an island that only appears during the full moon. You can only get to it on a wooden sailing ship, as it's magnetic properties push metal ships around it, out of the line of sight, and it's invisible to radar.
When you started on shipwrecks, I was sure you were going to talk about "rogue waves". Enormous waves -- like, big enough to sink even a fairly large modern-day ship -- that just randomly pop up every now and then out of a calm sea, and are thought to be the cause of the occasional mysterious disappearance? How does that not make the list?
I always thought the green flash when the sun sets below the ocean was caused by light going through the water itself as it sinks below the water and finally the solid horizon xD Learn something new every day haha
Well let me say this John. Point Nemo is by far the creepiest place I've ever heard of. And to think that astronauts are your closest neighbors is even more creepy. Thanks for this John.
Very nice one John , as a beach dweller i experienced alot of these effects . Mirage of the french island of "Mont Saint Michel" 200 miles away , And feature of the Dutch coaster 100 miles further. Swimed naked in a completly biolumenecance sea with my girlfriend , every movement we made movement created lighting flashses meters long. Was the most beautifull moment of my life ☆☆☆☆☆
I know the Dutch coast somewhat well, or at least used to. 20 years ago I dated a Dutch girl and lived in Amsterdam for a year. I actually knew some Dutch metal detectorists as well, back then there used to be a swap meet sort of thing in this little hotel in a town called Katwoude near Volendam. I think most of those folks have passed on, but I did once have a strong connection to the Netherlands antiques trade with quite a few friends there.
John, I just want you to know that I love your content. I think it’s better than most science programs on tv.
Maybe because the people in them don't have such catchy end phrases as "this universe in which we liiiiiiive"
I don’t even watch tv anymore, the internet and UA-cam is way better these days.
For sure, miles ahead of em

The idea of an ocean 100km deep is fascinating and frightening all at once.
It's weird that there are no video games about such abyssal depths.

You forgot molen the strangest thing in existence, it spans all of creation including our oceans. Can’t believe you would forget that
Yo momma
Very nice one John , as a beach dweller i experienced alot of these effects .
Mirage of the french island of "Mont Saint Michel" 200 miles away , And feature of the Dutch coaster 100 miles further.
Swimed naked in a completly biolumenecance sea with my girlfriend , every movement we made movement created lighting flashses meters long.
Was the most beautifull moment of my life ☆☆☆☆☆
I know the Dutch coast somewhat well, or at least used to. 20 years ago I dated a Dutch girl and lived in Amsterdam for a year. I actually knew some Dutch metal detectorists as well, back then there used to be a swap meet sort of thing in this little hotel in a town called Katwoude near Volendam. I think most of those folks have passed on, but I did once have a strong connection to the Netherlands antiques trade with quite a few friends there.
I've heard the sky's blue because of the size and placement of the moon ^ as well.
Nice work JMG!
Some subtle humour, poetry, and Fata Morgana.
"One more strange thing about Fata Morganas ..."
You mean apart from the name?
