Scam!
Daedalus was the crafter/inventor of the wings, Icarus (Daedalus's son) is the one that did not heed the warning about the wax, that held the wings together, melting if you got to close to the Sun.
Simon, my guy, you're voicing so much of the incredible stuff, you don't even notice a superconductor slipped where a supercomputer must've been.
From 16 until I was almost 21 years old I lived in the tunnels here, I’m 24 years old now and I still go back now and then to visit some of the family I made all over the city. I can’t explain how sad it is to know how many of the people down there will never make it out or be able to have a normal life. People don’t keep in mind that they’re humans too and deserve the same help I was lucky enough to get, sobriety is already the hardest fight I’ve ever fought, but when all you have for a future is that life, it becomes impossible
Hmm. Find that hard to believe. Praha is not NYC.
It's pathetic really. People are okay with sending 100B to Ukraine, but are completely against using that for helping Americans....with 100B we wouldn't have a housing CRISIS....
@@gomahklawm4446 and imagine if the trillion dollars of U.S. global oil war was spent on helping all people. Yes, a trillion if you include discretionary spending.
@@TomUlcak @gomahklawm4446 There would be a lot more poor if the world was ruled by fascism as y'all want.
In a future part 2, you could include Montreal's massive underground city.
or Coober Pedy, the Aistralian tonw that has been built underground to avoid the heat
Fermi didn't discover any particles. He described an (ideal) gas statistically. Later all particles that obey these particular statistics were dubbed fermions. He also only postulated neutrinos (though he was not the first). They were discovered by others.
...oh...and caculations are performed by supercomputers. Not superconductors XD
It’s true on Venus ;)
Great minds think alike. Glad someone else caught it too.
Simon, you need a proofreader! 😅
@@stefanschleps8758 your minds are sooo great, you should celebrate it by making out.
Sure, but who do you think conducts the supercomputers?
I've been to the Polish salt mines and they are without a shadow of a doubt the most impressive thing I've ever seen
That mine was started so long a go, that Copernicus visited it. I can't remember the year though.
😂
Bullshit! Poland doesn't exist! That's like saying you went to Hogwarts or Oklahoma. Fictional places.
Those Las Vegas drains will be prime real estate when the aliens visit. Or the sun decides to throw a massive solar storm at earth.
Sod’s Law states the day the aliens land in Las Vegas either no one will notice, or that will be the days the storm’s also hit.
@@grilnam9945 😁😏👍
There’s actually an excellent book about the Las Vegas drain inhabitants which I’m currently reading.
@@beethimbles8801 what's the name. I watched the vice episode
Or the more likely event. Many will be killed by a flash flood....
5:33 once again, Simon shows us that he's never heard of the word "conducive." He ALWAYS says "conductive"
I was gonna point it out won't bother now !
he also said superconductors instead of supercomputers
You should do a segment on the Tashkent metro. Many people consider it to have some of the most beautiful stations in the world.
Have you been there? I just Googled it and it looks pretty amazing. I love the different styles of architecture used, so parts look like a Mosque and then the "Cosmonaut Station" looks modern mixed with art deco pillars.
I wondered if you'd been as I like to travel and it would be somewhere very different to visit. A Google picture search shows some amazing cultural experiences.
@@AnyoneCanSee I have been there, and yes, the stations are really something. The whole country is wonderful. I would love to see Samarkand and Bukhara again. I was in Samarkand 8 years ago today.
Holy hell!
Thousands of hours of calculations performed by superconductors? 10:25 😂
That doesn't look like a comfortable chair Simon. You have 15 TH-cam channels. Treat yourself to some ergonomic furniture.
Wieliczka is truly spectacular in person. Thanks for covering it!
I love when he says conductive instead of conducive :)
And the "thousands of hours of calculations by superconductors." ;) Now I want to know if my job is getting taken over by really cold metals, or railway supervisors with capes!
Both have similar meanings...
Conducive came into use mid 17th century, derived from conduce and conductive...
Salty water is conductive
But "brin-ing"? It's a briny gerund, yaarh. Brine-ing. Maybe should hyphenate that one.
or do a rehearsal now and then
I love the Fermilab design. The buildings look like electronic components installed into the ground as a giant PCB.
At some point Simon will make a video where he pronounces conducive correctly.
12:42 - not anymore. This stainless-steel thing was recently removed to make way for construction work; the city says it will eventually be installed at the ground-level lobby.
There’s actually an excellent book about the Las Vegas drain inhabitants which I’m currently reading.
What’s the book called? I would be interested in that.
Interesting that you don't mention the name of the book AT ALL.
I was in Vegas for 4 days. It rained for 3 of them and they claimed they were in a drought. I saw flooded streets. I have toured the Polish salt mine on my 54th birthday. And ridden quite a bit of the Moscow subway just before my 55th birthday. Actually rode the St Petersburg subway to Russian bathhouse on my 55th.
It's Sanford, no Stanford (though the latter has some interesting particle physics as well), and data analysis happens on supercomputers, not superconductors.
I can't be the first person to immediately click one of Simon's videos, and in my fast click read that I'm about to watch 5 EDIBLE underground structures :)
😂 I know the feeling.
These underground areas, sort of remind me of that young urban explorer "Shiey" on YT that trekked on foot a couple of times to Chernobyl and several abandoned underground bunkers, from the old USSR days. Amazingly most still have electrical power.
I know there are hundreds of Urban Explorer channels on YT but Shiey's trips to Chernobyl always intrigues me for a rewatch once a year.
Someone's doing some edibles!
i do this all the time
There were 6, but I was hungry...
another banger from Simon
Hey! Fermi Lab! In the early 90s I used to fish in there with my dad. It used to be all wooded with just that cool building. They had an awesome pendulum in the lobby that hung from the roof.
I live at a latitude where the local Foucault's Pendulum takes slightly over two days to make a full circle. If the pendulum was relocated to our northern suburbs, it would be exactly two days. This makes it way easier to remember how a Foucault's Pendulum works. I bet the math is harder to remember if you are in northern Illinois.
Why did you break my brain with the neutrino one? I'm to stoned for that lol.
"Ah! Familiar ads from home..." I feel you, bro!!!
I also live over seas and I love watching the commercials from home
Around 13:30. In Prague, the Náměstí Míru metro stop has the longest escalator. It takes 2:21 minutes to ride it down. I took it quite often. The first time you look down, the hairs on your neck stand up. 53 metres deep.
given that Simon lives in Prague you would think he would know about it or want it included here, maybe he's not aware of just how long it is? 🤔 That's a looooong time to be slowly rising of descending, I think only ever been on about 30s elevators at most! And those felt long!
Love you’re stuff but why are your videos and podcasts like a little quieter than others?
The wilica salt mine is dope I was there in 2018
How many calculations per second can a superconductor make?!?!?
Poor Simon, sit closer to the teleprompter.
Meanwhile, my subway stations in America look like they are made of misery, sadism, and shit, designed by a misanthropic shut-in.
It’s funny that supercomputers became superconductors in there
I grew up in Las Vegas. My friend group spent more time in those tunnels then I care to admit. It’s where I smoked my first doobie. It’s where I lost my virginity. They were always about 20 degrees cooler in the summer so when kids were outside, it was the place to go.
at 11:15, it was 72 years, not 42 years. The metropolitan underground railway opened in 1863.
@sideprojects Moscow Metro: In mythology Daedalus created wings and invented flying, not Icarus, his son. Icarus flew to close to the sun, the heat melted the wax in the wings and he fell to his death.
The St. Petersburg Metro is worth a video!
Please do a video about all the underground bicycle parking infrastructures in the Netherlands. There are literally dozens of 1000+ bike parks. Some notable ones: Amsterdam Centraal station, Amsterdam Zuid station (has 3 different ones), Groningen Hoofdstation, Utrecht Centraal station.
i don't think these really count. The Netherlands seems to be busy routing its public transport (trains in particular) underground these days in order to free up town and city centre spece for building and, as cycle parking is usually alongside railway stations, it's pretty obvious where the cycle-parking would go
Currently sat in Las Vegas Airport on the way home back to UK. Had no idea about the drains wow.
God bless you mole people, the day will come when you can finally rise and take over once more
I wonder if LasVegas saves cleans and uses the water. TORONTO Canada has deep underground tanks to separate the oil etc from runoff caught by storm sewers before returning it to Lake Ontario.
Seeing the Las Vegas tunnels in the comments I'm going to sit this one out. I've seen stuff like that in third world countries but I never thought something like that and the current opioid/homeless crisis in America could eclipse the suffering in many developing and third world countries. It's just horrible. How Americans aren't ashamed enough to fix this is beyond belief. I'm an expat for the last dozen years and actually wasn't aware how bad things have gotten in that time but two months ago I received word that my step-nephew died in the Las Vegas tunnels. It's just heart breaking.
Daedalus invented flight. His son, Icarus, was intoxicated by the joy of flight and flew too high where the sun melted the wax holding his feathers together.
You need to look at St Clemente church in Rome. A 11th c church over a 4th c church over a first c one!
The salt mine cathedral is gorgeous i want to see it in person.
Just a heads up, if you’re ever in the Moscow Metro, watch out for the Dark Ones…
Glory to metro!
"Thousands of hours of calculations by superconductors?" Who is responsible for writing this script?
Simon I'm sure You caught it, but for the rest of your viewers that statement should have read, "thousands of hours of calculations by supercomputers." Tsk tsk.
MASSIVE TRIGGER!
Unbelievable!
A little salt, some garlic, wonderful!
Oops, I meant, tiger. Massive tiger!
Great video! This, and your South China Sea Islands video were extremely well done. You're on a roll today!
Sounds like Vegas needs a storm drain system for their storm drain system.
Gants Hill Station on the Central Line was design with direct inspiration from the Russian Metro.
@5:33 Replace word CONDUCTIVE with CONDUSIVE. Hire an additional editor.
Or use your brain and figure out what he meant. Lmfao
There's as many a needs be, if Mr. Tfue is in Town and limbered-up, Maing!
Ad's from home? I don't remember the last time I saw an ad. Ad blocker and no cable FTW
Shouldn't it be be Daedalus that invented flight and not Icarus?
Am I the only one who's mind was fucking BLOWN by the deep underground neutrino experiment bit.
Given how large Montreal's underground city I am surprised it didn't make the list.
You laugh at Venice's misspelling, I laugh at brining's pronunciation.
I want Lex Luther's abandoned-transit-station-turned-opulant-subterranian-villian-lair-with-pool from "Superman" (1978)
Me too, that was an amazing set!
3:00 no shit…
But also no shit? Sounds like a place I’d have gone 10-12 years ago lmao.
At 10:20 - super computers, not super-conductors.
Coober Pedy would fit into this list I believe. It's the Opal Capital of the world and most residents live underground.
Have your Australian writer look into it for you.
The number of errors in this video is surprising.....
8:11 That exponent is negative.
Would like to toss in the Flushing CSO. 16 years and 380 million dollars produced this amazing thing under Flushing Meadows in NYC. No one knows about it but I was there when it started in 2008. Amazing!
Super conductors doing mathematics 😅😂
I've noticed a few of these slips recently.. Too many videos, Simon?
There is a neutrino lab in sudbury Ontario Canada (SNO lab)
Not eleven the slightest mention of the fact that all Finnish buildings above a certain number of occupancy by law HAVE to include a nuclear fallout bunker?
Also, the fact that a fair few of their public spaces often incorporate dual purpose of fallout shelter and public space with a simple/easy switch out between the two purposes?
When my parents and I lived in Richmond MO in the 70's, we were told by many that the reason for all the Black Lung pensioners was because the entire town sits over an abandoned coal mine. Sure it could all collapse. But we got out as soon as we could. Can only hope for the best for everyone else.
Calculations by super conductors? 10:15
Regarding the Russian subway... yes, we should absolutely recognize and respect artistic and architectural works, regardless of the politics. That lack of respect is we ("we" being the world) lost so much to the Taliban, to the Soviets, and even to American businessmen and politicians.
It's so hypocritical that westerns have to bring up "Russian Politics" no matter what as long as Russia is mentioned but they never do so for the dozens of other countries that are also awful.
Really @sideprojects, no SNOLAB in Sudbury ON, CAN?
Neat, thanks.
Pretty sure you would notice something with the mass of 2.4x10e37 kgs passing through your body since that's heaver than the Sun.
Could the drain dwellers survive the nuclear apocalypse?
Isn't the plural of supernova supernovae? Yes. Yes, it is.
Y'all must have seen Brandon Buckingham's video
A friend’s little brother lost his paper boat in the Las Vegas drainage system and he came home with hotdogs and cotton candy and a balloon. 🎈
gosh i cant wait for the video about how VPN services are bad :D
Lead is pronounced like in taking the lead not the metal
You did not mention the USSR deadman switch.
The canals of Mars, surely?
but, but... salt doesn't melt, it dissolves in water forming saline solution...
I mean, you can melt salt, but not with water
I find it curious you singled out Mayakovskaya Metro station from all the others. I'm Moscow-born, and when I used to come back there with my mom for family visits during childhood, we used to make our way to one of her childhood friends on the northern half of the second, green line. Every time we passed Mayakovskaya station, 8-to-13-year-old me would tug at her and insist we step outside to admire the station's visual art, and only catch one of the next trains to continue our route. Oddly enough, my mom, though not as enthusiastic, always obliged!
The last time I was in Vegas, I'm not the kind of person who gets to go places often, some dude had a sign that said, "Let's face it, I'm going to spend it on drugs". I'm like thanks dude, I appreciate the honestlyy, here's a buck. But yeah, it's a crazy dichotomy of wealth and poverty.
I think factboy meant supercomputer not Superconductor
6:21
0:11 did he say the breast taking beauty
TIL Russia has sensible state-owned underground public transport
Did he say "calculations by superconductors"?
“Salt is conductive to mining” Positive?
Fermions are not the stuff we can see. We see photons, which are Bosons, not Fermions.
Fermions compose the matter of the universe. The periodic table is all Fermions.
Where’s the 5th?
The ad? 😂
No, but seriously, WFT, right?
Now that I think if it, they probably counted the 3rd one as 2 since they are 2 different structures.
@@RavenFilms but then you could say they counted the 4th one as 3 as Simon mentioned 3 different stations
If the Moscow Metro opened in 1935 it's 72 years not 42 years after London's opened (1863)
I saw an underground oil refinery IN IRAQ..unbelievable
Wouldnt that be horribly unhealthy?
You have announced moving to an East European tax exile, but does this cause you to forget English language.
Conductive to tunnelling. Conducive?
Brinning involves melting the salt, try dissolving, salt melts at 800C.
My mother used to tell me brain in gear before mouth in motion.
You have Vegas little tunnels but not Tokyo's Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel? Ok sure American writer.
I really liked this episode..........did you like it?..............I liked it. 😄👍
Simon, great episode. Kudos to you and your Sideprojects team. 🏆
These remind me of that young urban explorer "shiey" that trekked on foot a couple of times to Chernobyl and many other abandoned underground bunkers from the old USSR that amazingly still have electrical power.
Hope your team on Casual Criminalist will have that doozy of a script for you on Fritz Klenner in a few months.
"Conductive"? Surely the word is conducive.
I think one is missing.
There are 5 structures. The nuetrino experiment has one structure in South Dakota and one in Illinois.
Oh no neutrinos for me please, they tend to pass right through me
