It isn't that surprising, really. They searched for something in the biggest body of liquid water in our solar system, and that something wasn't even in there for most of the movie.
And then it rains and the loss of water is vastly mitigated by any minute losses of water. :P Especially if we consider rainfall in rainforests, tropical ones even more so, and more still if we consider global rainfall. So spilled water from a fairly tiny jug of water isn't gonna do much to put a noticeable dent in the bodies and reserves of water on Earth.
*it's amazing how the Austronesians (Taiwanese natives, Filipinos, Indonesians, Malaysians, Bruneian, Malagasy, some Thais, some Vietnamese, some Sri Lankans, some Indians, half of Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, Polynesians, Micronesians, Melanesians) managed to sailed on the pacific ocean with no modern tools and equipments and still inhabited every isolated islands*
I'm going to get in early on this theory and say that some of these islands also had people's flow on tidal patterns coming from south America. It's hard to explain the 'native' people here having red hair and such different facial features than the people in South East Asia. New Zealand has stories passed down about tall, red haired people living here in the past. There are even Maori with DNA that is tied to the Peru area still alive today.
Jupiter's moon Europa is estimated to contain 2-3 times as much water as on Earth, due to its 100-km deep subsurface ocean encompassing the entire moon. And its only 1/4 the size of the Earth.

Man, imagine all the adventures the Polynesians went on You have to understand, they didn't just sail around blindly hoping to bump into land Yes, they navigated by the stars, but they must also have had a system to record or "map" their journey so that they can retrace it over and over again, otherwise they never would have been able to colonize the Pacific islands
The Polynesian expansion has always fascinated me because of just how massive the Pacific is and the balls it must’ve taken to go into the great wet desert using only the stars.
you dont have to be a flat earther to feel something is off when they claim the distance of the two continents is suppouse to be 19800 km when the entire diameter of the earth i only 12 742 km. And if the earth is 4 times the size of the moon how could it fit five times in that distance. or maybe im just wrong.
Oceans are not only wide but deep. The first time I ventured beyond the continental shelf in a small boat, I remember reflecting that if we sank it would take about an hour just to get to the bottom.
Two additional facts for the depth of the Mariana Trench: The Wreck of the RMS Titanic ever since 1912 is at the depth of just about 4 KM. That makes the Trench more than 2.5 times deeper than the Titanic’s depth in the Northern Atlantic Ocean. Another comparison is with the highest point on Earth, Mount Everest. Mount Everest is 8 KM tall, and so if you flipped it upside down into the Trench, the Trench will only have 3 KM of space from the tip-top of the great mountain of Mount Everest.
Now imagine your plane crashing in the middle and you somehow survive and use every last inch of your will to live just to stay afloat, only to remember you are a world away from help.
The Pacific Ocean itself is smaller than the earth. its a part of the earth. even if it did become a planet which it never will it would still be smaller than the earth
But remember in an older RLL video, that massive planet sized ocean that stretches moons across in some areas is basically just a puddle compared to an exoplanet called GJ-1214b, whose oceans stretch hundreds of kilometers deep.
I spent the last three days watching docs about ships lost in the Atlantic. Then, I decided to move to the pacific ocean and I am now watching this video as an introduction. I think I need to find a better way to spend my vacation

One advantage with Prime Meridian running through London is that the International Date Line takes a relatively straight path through the Pacific without disrupting too many countries (yes, it does have to make a few jogs around far eastern Russia and some Pacific island nations). That said, if the Prime Meridian ran through, say, Paris or Berlin, would it have an even more unimpeded run through the Pacific?
@@Abrold Jupiter is a gas giant planet and it was formed with a rocky core several times the size of earth and strong gravity pull from the core of the planet was pulling gas from space adding a large envelope of Hydrogen and Helium gas which is the process is called accretion which mounted over period of time on the planet which made Jupiter so big in size from the other planets. You can’t land on Jupiter because well it’s mainly gas.

Next up in 2020: Giant shark mutants from the depths of the Pacific Ocean have attacked the mainland.
Finally,a channel that isn't begging itself
If instead of shark mutants they could be generic Gozilla/King Kong types then a movie could be made, or two.
RLL was also a huge inspiration for my channel.
His videos are really fascinating.
i would love a video about how the polynesians accomplished such a feat
There’s a whole book on it called Sea People. It’s a good read
Two additional facts for the depth of the Mariana Trench:
The Wreck of the RMS Titanic ever since 1912 is at the depth of just about 4 KM. That makes the Trench more than 2.5 times deeper than the Titanic’s depth in the Northern Atlantic Ocean.
Another comparison is with the highest point on Earth, Mount Everest. Mount Everest is 8 KM tall, and so if you flipped it upside down into the Trench, the Trench will only have 3 KM of space from the tip-top of the great mountain of Mount Everest.
Wow, he could substract 8 from eleven 😂 BTW..mt everest is nearly 9 km tall (8.8)
im the real one
That's gotta the best segue to a sponsor I've ever seen, it actually took you saying "skillshare" for me to realize that you were transitioning.
Now imagine your plane crashing in the middle and you somehow survive and use every last inch of your will to live just to stay afloat, only to remember you are a world away from help.
Scary
There is a documentary about some people who used the same equipment as those explorers called WAYFINDERS: A Pacific Odyssey
what is the name of this documentary
@@zaraiwzara it says it lol
@@thevalorousdong7675 i was so very fucking tired when i replied
This is just mind blowing. And imagine how small Earth is in comparsion in other stuff in the universe.
Universe is not bigger than pacific ocean fool
The Pacific Ocean itself is smaller than the earth. its a part of the earth. even if it did become a planet which it never will it would still be smaller than the earth
I can’t really picture how big the Pacific Ocean is but atleast I know the moon is much smaller than I thought
Entire one face of Earth is nothing but Pacific Ocean 🌊🌊🌊
Imagine being Pi Patel or Tom Hanks in “cast away” and what they went through in their respective journeys? OMG!!
Pissing
I have never seen those films before
Except Pi Patel is a true story
Idk why when he squeezed all the continents together made me laugh 😂
New Zealand be like: Alone.....
Come to Australia bro if you feel alone.... some of my best friends are Kiwis
skip the aussies come to Hawaii my fellow polynesian
Alone again, naturally
But remember in an older RLL video, that massive planet sized ocean that stretches moons across in some areas is basically just a puddle compared to an exoplanet called GJ-1214b, whose oceans stretch hundreds of kilometers deep.
I spent the last three days watching docs about ships lost in the Atlantic. Then, I decided to move to the pacific ocean and I am now watching this video as an introduction.
I think I need to find a better way to spend my vacation
Fun fact: Jupiter's moon Europa has twice more water than the entire earth have.
It's not water, it is liquid methane
@@sniccups6794 You are correct. There's some scientists who think Europa might even have life in its ocean. There are ALSO some who think Titan might be creating its own life right now too.
Yeah, and they also have waves depicting Michael Jackson's face. LOL
@@scintillam_dei ...What?
1:00 you missed a great chance to make pun there. You know, to be *pacific*

Ok
I'm going to be moving to Honolulu and speaking Tongan in a couple months. Thanks for reminding me that I'll be surrounded by nothing but sheer and unimaginable amounts of water😂.
Hawaii is great to vacation.
Not to live.
Stationed at Kaneohe MCB, and Pearl Harbor, for a total of six years.
Left the Navy (late 2010);
money dried up, by early 2012.
Moved back to Georgia.
Too expensive.
@@solascriptura-e7t - I'm hoping that was a PCS move! I can't imagine paying personally to move everything to the mainland!
So how is Honolulu going?
@@Devlinator61116 Probably going okay now
Are you still in Hawaii or are you back in the Mainland? If you are still in Hawaii I hope your new home is going really well
One advantage with Prime Meridian running through London is that the International Date Line takes a relatively straight path through the Pacific without disrupting too many countries (yes, it does have to make a few jogs around far eastern Russia and some Pacific island nations). That said, if the Prime Meridian ran through, say, Paris or Berlin, would it have an even more unimpeded run through the Pacific?
Don’t worry, just get a world map and you can find all the islands like the Polynesians! They had it and did it!
Jupiter: damn that water looks good.
@dbs power are you serious
@dbs power Jupiter is the Biggest Planet in are solar system and at least 11x the size of earth
@@xominousowlx6959 yeah :( tbh I hate jupiter so much
@@xominousowlx6959 How the fuck can be jupiter can be bigger than unimaginable ocean also jupiter is antom compared to ocean
@@Abrold Jupiter is a gas giant planet and it was formed with a rocky core several times the size of earth and strong gravity pull from the core of the planet was pulling gas from space adding a large envelope of Hydrogen and Helium gas which is the process is called accretion which mounted over period of time on the planet which made Jupiter so big in size from the other planets. You can’t land on Jupiter because well it’s mainly gas.
So basically the pacific ocean is roughly 340,201,246 (rounded up) Toyota corolla's in terms of volume.
I don't necessarily mean this as a jab, but you're the only youtuber I know where your mic quality is so vastly different depending on the episode (like even this one compared to your restricted airspace one). I definitely enjoy the subjects you cover, thank you
7:03 visible confusion
This gives me an even greater respect for Aquaman.
He actually lives in the Atlantic Ocean
@@Dantheman-bw8hv True. But he is responsible for the entire ocean.
I've never been to the pacific. This just makes me want to go there more.
After miles, kilometers and toyota corrola, we now have moons as measuring units
I am so proud
See, when I think about how early the Polynesians had mastered the Pacific.....how is it possible that the Americas were not highly traveled much earlier than we thought. Just seems logical. Thanks for this!
What do you mean? America was fully inhabited when Europeans found it.
It's puzzling how all continents are on one side of earth only and no major landmass exists on such a large area
I am shock that the pacific ocean is very very deep and long. It is absoluting terrifying of the size and the distance the ocean cover.
Imagine how big the ocean was that surrounded Pangea. It was even more deeper and even more bigger
Oddly amazing that the Polynesians were able to find all those little islands over such long distances but for some reason didnt take the last jump to find what would become the Americas.
*Me:* _sees "surface of Mars" in the thumbnail_
*My brain:* "You can't just blow a hole in-"
Doom
That transition into the Skillshare ad was really smooth.
Bruh, we guessed your transition to Skillshare when you started speaking about Polynesians.
Okay. That segway was honestly gold.
Now I see why Moana’s father said never said to fish beyond the coral reef
he said that so that Moaning would rebel against her father because Pissney teaches brats to be more bratty. It is evil and corrupting. Glad my daughter won't be taught to be a feminazi by Pissney. :-)
@SCINTILLAM DEI calm your tits
