    You forgot to adjust for inflation for the estimated cost of the Australia canal. The price adjusted for inflation is about 400 billion and also the canal will have to go through places of very high elevation (300 meters above sea level at least) and the Panama Canal only goes up 26m. Also the Panama Canal uses a gate system meaning that is not just a free flowing canal. If you were to build the Australian Canal then you would either have to make it free flowing (extremely difficult considering the elevation of the areas it has to go through) or build a fuckton of gates. Basically the price would be in the trillions of usd at least.

      They could probably file some FOIA requests from the US government and get those Operation Plowshare plans. That way we get 20-foot lizards and five-headed kangaroos along the canal. If they round up all the rabbits, they might have a chance of obliterating them. While it would create the world's largest nuclear exclusion zone, imagine the money that would come from tourists in a million years when it's safe again. Hell, I'd be down see dingos with hundreds of feet and maybe get an up and close look of a Killer Rabbit with whatever strange mutations humans will have evolved by then. It would basically pay for itself.

    7:45 it would be a saline lake, so it wouldn't really make the bordering land super arable as plants don't usually do well with salt in the soil...
    It would start to evaporate and become more salty, but this would cause more rain to be created in the area (unsure whether it would fall there though) You do have an exit channel planned though which would allow salt to cycle out of the lake/sea...and this would be a massive shipping route as well, for both the centre of Australia and the coastal cities in the East.

      I would check to sea how deep the basin is the water would flood into. Over that large an area you'd be risking making a giant salt pan (too hot for marsh too shallow for lake). It could end up being even more uninhabitable than it is now.

    • @roetheboat1
      @roetheboat1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      There's also the question as to whether or not the land in that area would even be able to be arable even IF there was more rain.
      Additionally, just because both ends would connect to the ocean, that doesn't mean that the water would flow in from one end and out the other. You'd have to figure out some way to keep the water flowing to cycle through. Otherwise what might happen is that both ends would have the ocean flowing in towards a larger central lake/inner sea where the water evaporates and causes the salt to build up. You might be able to fix that by some sort of system of pumps, but that wouldn't be sustainable at all.
      You'd also have to make sure the river was both wide enough to actually cause a noticeable change to the surrounding geography through evaporation, deep enough that the water wouldn't evaporate over the hundreds (or even thousands) of miles in distance that it would cover, and also that the sides of the artificial river were structurally reinforced so you didn't have to worry about erosion blocking off stuff.

      @RuminaNero 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      you'd have to create it at a high elevation so you could run rivers through both to expand the livable area it would create, and to ensure the water actually flows and isn't stagnant. You'd also have to transport all the water up there to begin with, and probably continue to do so until the evaporation cycle ensures it stays filled and flowing

    fun fact: when the dutch discovered Australia (then called New Holland) 100 years before the british colonized it. they didn't settle on it because it was just a wasteland with no resources to gain. If you look at maps drawn at the time you see that the east connects up to Papua-New Guinea.
    the dutch literally only discovered all Australia's coastline that were desert and literally just missed the big stretch of perfectly suitable land.

    As an architecture student I can say historian made some good points. Like finding entrance is a very important thing and architects like hadid doens't focus on that all they do is taking attention. "Form follows function" it's a common thing i mean just a ground rule but they dont follow these rules and other architects just applause, building a death ray is not important for them they just want aesthetic buildings.

      It's one of those things that I feel 99% of people wouldn't consciously acknowledge but I saw a video a little bit ago of an architect reviewing a spaceship luxury yacht thing on star citizen and I found it so interesting. Mentioning all the little things that architects have to consider, even down to the frequency of lighting used in different areas, like "oh, you want people to congregate in the corners away from the flow of traffic, so they have warm lighting to make them relaxed" and other such considerations. And with layout I guess you've got to be always asking "will this confuse dumb people?"

    The fun thing about the Washington Monument is that you can clearly see where they originally ran out of money/materials, and then the rest of it is a slightly different color above that point. Like, yeah, did you not check how many rocks you had before you decided to make a giant obelisk? No? Eh, we'll figure it out.

    • @Gamernerd2626
      @Gamernerd2626 2 ปีที่แล้ว +66

      The monument actually had to change which quarry it was receiving limestone from mid-construction. The original quarry became unavailable when the state it was in seceded from the Union. A northern quarry was chosen and work continued throughout the civil war, however the limestone was a different hue, being sourced from a different location

    The funny thing is, my state made 3 pyramid buildings for offices. Except the angle was wrong so the windows kept shattering. Turnes out the Egyptians figured out the same thing ants did, there is only one truly stable angle for pyramid shapes or they fall appart. The pyramid office buildings are now mostly concrete (they removed 99% of all windows) and are constantly being fixed because they keep cracking. So yeah, modern people can make pyramids easily, but they don't always actually work lol

      That somewhat depends on how you define it. While *modern* Germany, for example, has only been around since 1871, "Germany" existed as the Holy Roman Empire long before that. The question is, if a country collapses and then is rebuilt, especially given these periods were so close together that not much actually changed (from a cultural standpoint) is it a different country of the same one?
      Yes, I'm aware borders are different, but I don't think that matters. For example, did Russia not exist until 1991? The Russian SSR was rather different from modern Russia, as before that the Russian Empire.

    next day news came in. nobody was hurt. family owning the house was on vacation. electrical fire :^)

    So they have actually done work on the Tower of Pisa to reduce the lean and keep it from leaning further. Evidently in the 90s they reduced the lean from 5.5 degrees to 3.97. And then in 2008 it was announced that the tower was stabilized for the first time in history, and for the next 200-ish years, the Tower's lean would not increase. Because while they don't want to remove the lean entirely, they do want to keep it from becoming The Fallen Tower of Pisa.

      Yes but the question isn't would it cost so much, it's would it make the cost back and more. For example, the Panama Canal was deemed worth it because it made such a useful route between the Atlantic and Pacific that people had no issue paying the tolls, and the tolls have generated billions.
      So the question is: could they come up with some way to make this generate money? And if (and I'm aware this is an if, I haven't looked into it) it turned a lot of uninhabitable land habitable, stuff like property taxes would do that for them.

    On the Australia canal: There's been a similar plan that comes up in Parliament every decade or so for real consideration. The water comes from the other end of the continent though. It's called the Bradfield Scheme and while the original turned out to be not viable modern versions of the scheme are promising and fix essentially all the issues with the original proposal from almost a century ago. It's mostly a series of dams, canals and pipes redirecting fresh water from the tropical North East through the interior to Lake Eyre. Depending on who's doing the CBA you're looking at something like $15-20 billion for the project so your "estimation" isn't that far off the real world cost estimates. It's just folks in charge would rather irrigate with fresh water from North Queensland where it's flooded all the time rather than salt water from the Indian Ocean.
    Environmental concerns have been raised but saving the lizards is a non-issue. The main problems with these inland canals in Australia face are evaporation and cost of construction. You need to buy and flood a lot of people's farms, build multiple, very large dams, dig canals big enough to fit a container ship in and even then the heat means that by the time you reach your destination the water's all evaporated anyway. There are workarounds with modern versions of the scheme (mostly involving making the canal bigger to carry more water) but because Queenslanders are the only people who want it they're probably never going to get the funding from Canberra.
