The Mariana Trench sits like a crescent-shaped dent in the floor of the Pacific. A 2,550 km long, 69 km wide fracture that plummets down into a pure black void of the Hadal Zone. At the bottom, it hosts the deepest known location on Earth. The Challenger Deep, 11,033 metres or 36,200 feet beneath the waves. The trench itself is but one part of a global network of deep scars that cut across the ocean floor. Features that formed from a process called subduction. In the case of the Mariana Trench, the western edge of the Pacific Plate was thrust beneath the smaller Mariana Plate to the west, creating the deep fracture. Molten material then rose through volcanoes near the trench, building the nearby Mariana Islands.

Hi all, this film was a joy to create! I've just set up a Patreon for any of you interested in supporting my channel: www.patreon.com/naturalworldfacts
Even just commenting and watching means the world to me! The growth this channel has seen and the community that's developed is so wonderful.

@Adam Cronin Hey Adam, thanks so much for the kind words! 😁 I wish I was the one capturing the footage, but I source it from a number of marine exploration organisations like NOAA, MBARI and so on, typically from ROV dive recordings (footage taken by robots they send down to record biodiversity and take samples).
The woman's voice is very irritating ...
@Adam Cronin Are you ok ?
pop😊😊😊😊😊
I don't think I've seen anything more cursed than a piece of Frozen merchandise at the bottom of the Mariana Trench
The cold never bothered her anyway
You could literally be living at the bottom of the ocean and still have heard about Frozen. There is no escape.
Even the snailfish have ‘let it go’ stuck in their heads
It's pretty depressing, that image needs to blow up.
Source of it being in the deep of the Mariana Trench and not somewhere else?
Man, there's just something so depressing about seeing plastic bags and Frozen merchandise in the depths of the Mariana Trench...
Right. It seems like there's nothing on earth left completely untouched by humanity's corruption
Frozen plastic merchandise has visited deeper than man has ever been. 😓. Tragic.
He said that footage wasn't from the Mariana Trench. Still, it is super disgusting.
One day, millions of years from now, some new primate species will be digging into some rocks and finding fossilized plastic. Thats a really fucking weird thought
Plastics everywhere now; in our rain, in our bodies even....
Who’s here cause of the missing submarine? Wow over 4 thousand likes thanks y’all! ❤️

I got my divers certification before a trip to Negril, Jamaica for a wedding. The deepest I went was 25 feet. I didn't physically comprehend "water pressure" until I went from 15 feet to 25 feet. It was a claustrophobic feeling. The crystal clear water had a soothing effect, but I only dove twice and haven't done it since. That's a beautiful and deadly world down there, so I'll stick to watching video.
Did only 30ft in Mexico and my perspective on things changed (I'm already a 5"2 women) but jeeze I felt tiiiiinyyy. All of a sudden heights weren't too bad lol
Snorkeling in Philippines was enough for me. Beautiful but i could see the sudden drop off of the bottom into an endless void. Just creepy but also fascinating.
@@supers0nic77you’re right I did the same in the Philippines and it was crystal clear so I could see the drop metres down. Very scary
@@supers0nic77omg that sent shivers through me when you said u could see the sudden drop imagine if you had been sucked down into it 😮 u are very brave I like to stay above the water
@leabo1651 i think the older i get, and the more i learn about the ocean, the less i want to go in it
this narrator could do a series of classic literature, with a bit of classical music in the background, to help people get to sleep....
Yes, I would like that.
Yeah, he sure is no David Attenborough
U mean zefrank?
@@marioguti9887 He doesn't need to be

LOL 🤣🤣

I stil lcan't stop shaking from laughing so much!
Lol
Pretty crazy that anything could live & not crushed from the weight of being that deep underwater
There's no pressure on these animals since they are born there. They have the same pressure on their internals as their externals so they are in balance. The pressure comes from taking something sealed down from sea level.
Humans would dissolve in less than an hour!
@@ahlsn7346 that’s actually not true, at a certain depth (beyond 6000m, I think) the pressure affects the way proteins in cells can function. Only very few deep-ocean-dwelling creatures have a specific chemical (this chemical is the chemical that gives fish their “fishy smell”) in high enough concentrations to survive.
Takes atleast a million years of evolution and God's plan for it to happen.
@@NormAuParadis ????
Seeing the plastic down there is just heart breaking 😢
The people ?
I'm both so fascinated and terrified of the deep ocean, the life is so extraordinary
I refer to this as "fearcination"
And I'm sure the creatures at the bottom of the sea think the same thing about us.
Yup
@@McYeroc pretty sure the creatures at the bottom of the sea have never seen one of us, i havent dove 36,000 feet lately, idk about you ;)
Me too . HalleluYAH!
This gives new meaning to the Jurassic Park quote:
"Life finds a way.."
Well said.
A new meaning? That's the meaning
But also:
"Plastic finds a way"

YT has been recommending me such videos after the recent incident of Titan submersible imploding! It's a sign for humanity to not mess with mother nature. It's so fascinating to see the underworld where millions of species are still undiscovered.
I pee pee in diapers that do t belong g to me
What I appreciate about James Cameron is that he's a visionary first and foremost. Cinema just happened to be the outlet that manifested most prominently for him. But his entire life has been about the dream of exploring fantastical worlds and realms beyond human experience. He's always been a man in love with the ocean and it's mysteries and I'm very happy that he got to explore the Marianas. Good on you, Jim. Never stop exploring.
This is some good audio mixing, never thought classical could sound so good with the exploration of the dark and cold unknown.
yes! the Blue Danube was also used in 2001: A Space Odyssey, I think it fits the mood of the deepest, most alien spot on the planet perfectly
@@onerva. There's also some video game music from Dear Esther by the Chinese Room. You can hear "Always" and "This Godforsaken Aerial", both tiltles in the game ;)
@@onerva. beat me to it
There's so much to this video n you're cought by the audio mixing? Get grip
@felipe you've never watched 2001 A Space Odyssey eh? This is really good though I must say.
What fascinates me the most is these footages are taken with lights but imagine it without light, it’s total darkness in there you won’t be able to see a thing but these species however are adapted to such extreme and hostile environments, nature is truly a mystery
That's why most species that are able to survive at such depths are blind.
What makes you think they have adapted? That's ridiculous. They were made that way to exist where they are just the same as you to exist where you are. They have always been there.
@@PJBASS8225 they didn't just pop out of existence if that's what your implying they evolved to adapt to their environment
What fascinates me is someone with such terrible grammar is even interested in science? Obviously you lack intelligence, I've seen 5 year olds with better grammar. Good for you not caring about your ignorance and sharing it with the world.
Do we know if the fish down there notice it?
I can't believe how much plastic was shown in the deepest part of the ocean known to man. That's just wild to me
I am hooked! The videos are done sooo well! Informative but not too technical with the jargons and so far did not notice any digressions or un necessary tangents 😍 I wouldn’t even mind a 2 hour long video from you 👏🏻 My 9 year old son and I just watched your “Deep Sea Gigantism” and he lasted till the end of the video! He was able to relate with some of the topics discussed in his science class and I call that a feat! 👏🏻 Thank you for your hard-work and efforts!!!
Same. I don't normally watch stuff like this but it was actually interesting and well explained.
☕
wow, i genuinely thought this was a professional documentary from TV, the fact that you make these videos with footage and information you’ve found online is incredible. thank you!
Aw I’m so glad it feels professional, they’re a pleasure to create!!
Wow, really, they seem so professional, a beautifully presented document.
@@NaturalWorldFacts ignore the stupid comments about the narration, I think it's great! Clear, audible and easy to understand and the music isn't too loud. Great production, well done.
@@NaturalWorldFacts it's amazing. Really. Such a good time spent.
This is way more in-depth than anything you'd find on most TV. Super amazing.
Do you have any idea how insane it is for a creature to ingest the minerals on the sea floor. And use its gut to create an organic form of aluminum to armor itself with?? That is straight out of scifi. That's is Incredible. More of this is needed.
(WOW) 13K LIKES? THANKS GUYS!!
I wish I could do that...
@@DarkMoonDroid 3 tequila shots and pack marlboro will give you same results.
@@roxynaistus4070 no doubt you’re right 😂
Do you have any idea how insane I get when people in England, who are supposed to have come up with the English language, and should speak it perfectly, say "aluminium" instead of "aluminum"? They put that extra " i" in there, and make it a 5 syllable word instead of a 4 syllable word. But now as I typed in "aluminum" expecting it to be wrong and have a red line under it, it actually had the word, and there was no red line saying it was wrong! So, I have no idea what to believe now! For over 30 years I have thought "aluminium" was wrong and "aluminum" was right. I don't know what to believe anymore! My world has been turned upside down!

The narrator’s echo voice really is a nice touch 👌
I've started seeing a lot more videos about deep sea as I was looking into the Titan sub. This video was absolutely fascinating and I appreciate such a devoted content creator as yourself. Could you please clarify what technologies in particular could benefit from deep sea research? Thanks and have a good day!
Hi! I've been doing the same! it's so interesting as a topic and i had never thought of watching videos like these in the past.. I'm glad to find someone else is doing the same path "thanks to" the videos of the titan :))
@@gaia8676 oh yeah I’m glad to see someone with a similar interest. After I started to look into this. It’s become apparent, why people took on such a high risk with the titan. Looking at life in the deep sea seems like being at a super high tech safari tour :D. And honestly buying a ticket for $250k is a lot cheaper alternative than buying a certified submarine yourself. I would’ve probably backed out once I’d hear about getting bolted in from outside.
@@nezby3945 yeah i totally agree hahah
Compared when people wanted to go to Mars by Rocket, i prefer discover this mysterious place in the earth.
- update : thx for so many replies in my comment section. Sorry for my bad english/gramatically errors. Peace from Indonesia 🇲🇨
i think i’ll have to disagree. in my opinion, though the sea is very much fascinating and interesting, but pales before the vastness and mystique of planets, stars and space in general
I would love to know more about both!
Apples to oranges
Fr like let’s take it one step at a time now people 💀😭
EXACTLY .... consider how this cavity is like a hairline per the scale of planet Earth. We're not even sure of the shit EHT has picked up! The best we can do is mathematically extrapolate black hole theory. The SEA is at least a tangible real thing--but probably too scary for that very reason! ;)
The deep sea is definitely my favorite ecosystem to study and learn about. It is so otherworldly and primordial.
same
It is totally fascinating, Jay.. I love learning more 👍
And barren
@@SonKunSama that you can go so long without seeing any life, only to then bump into one of the most bizarre forms of life on the planet, is really cool
@Joe Curr it's hardly ruined. It's just changing. Earth has been smashed into by asteroids, irradiated, and thrown into thousands of years of ice and life has come out on top. Human kind's dominance is simply another hurdle for the planet to jump over. If humanity disappeared tomorrow, it would only take a few dozen millenia for our existence to be buried and forgotten. Life finds a way.
Now TH-cam won't stop suggesting ocean videos
I remember being on a flight from London to Mexico City in 1998. It was the 12th of January and as we flew over parts of North America we could see that for miles unlimmited snow covered the earth, 34000 ft below us. I`ve always been interested in `extremes` and therefore knew that the deepest part of the world`s Oceans was further away from a boat that sailed above it than we were from the ground that we were flying over.
`Frightening depths.
I think we should be clear about something: " The deepest part " is only the point at which it is accessible, that can be defined, so we may not know the true depth.
Where did you get your PhD from?
@@sammyholdem2492 doesnt require a phd to note the fact that we dont know much about our oceans and the deepest parts that we can reach

Seems like Russia dug a hole deeper than the Marianas Trench, difficult as that sounds.

idk the first guys who did it, but i know james cameron the director did it for some reason lol
"The two men who did the first deep dive must be very brave or seriously crazy."
They are often one and the same.
They kept going down even after the window cracked from pressure
Do you know if they went to the bottom??
@@JigglemySac All the way, yes.
What an exceptional video! Beautifully crafted, from the photos chosen to musical layering to your voice, soothing and beguiling but most of all, your writing is superb!
I’m literally quite overwhelmed!
My area is History (mostly medieval) but I watched an adventure movie with grandson (The Meg) because he wanted to and kept my questions and comments (mostly) to myself! He needs to see this video! To listen to your material!
He’s only 13 so possibly he’ll miss the best of what you are offering g but as a whole experience he should. Or miss this, something, hopefully many details and impressions, will remain with him!
I’m just so utterly impressed with your work, your voice, phrasing, inflection and emphasis (and you don’t rush thru your words) is absolutely perfect, I rarely find this ‘delivery’ with any material of any genre (ok, one, Pete Kelly, who has 2 YT channels and covers mostly ancient historical topics, lovely phrasing, nothing rushed, his History Time’s best work, for me is on Doggerland), YOUR manner and writing is akin to this, possibly superior as you have a poetic bent!
Is it a man or a woman?
The narrator is a young man, Leo Richard’s, he has been involved in these science films since he was a child, apparently, from his LinkedIn pix I’d say he’s no more than 20; I love his narration. I’ve taught for years and I’ve heard more poor and completely inadequate speakers than even passable ones, he has good phrasing, his voice neither too deep nor too high - maturity may change that, a man at 20 does not sound the same as at 40 or 60. Most of all he has enthusiasm, he is utterly fascinated by his Subject and yet he does not get overwhelmed by it.
On YT I also like Pete Kelly’s History Time (wide variety of topics), his accent is so familiar to me now that I smile remembering when I first heard him, wondering, is he from Yorkshire? He has exceptional phrasing too, different topics however. Dan Davis is another who covers mostly ancient topics as research for his books, he has a deep, commanding voice and his research on par with Mr Richard’s here - lastly, a quirky podcast is Toldinstone, from Prof Garrett Ryan out of Chicago, great sense of humour, all his topics are Ancient Rome (sometimes Greece) and usually connected to architecture but peripherally - he is quite amusing and fairly young (30’s?) His voice does take some getting used to as he is a professional academic and has been in front of lecture halls with half asleep students (half sober???) but he’s highly worth your time.
Of these gentlemen I’d say Mr Richard’s here is closest to poetic, Ryan a cut-up and Kelly someone with whine I’d love to go hiking thru the Welsh mountains!
Such a relaxing documentary. Thank you for all your work!
I don’t think I could ever go into a submarine and go way down to the bottom of the ocean without having a deadly panic attack. Just the thought of knowing I’m surrounded by millions of gallons of freezing cold, bone crushing, pitch black water filled with all sorts of deadly creatures would be enough to kill me.
SAME….

Lol..ok..i'll take the Sub..you take the space shuttle..Wish we could "see" the bottom of our planets oceans ..since we can see light years away!
Please never stop making these, as an aspiring marine biologist student I love watching your commentaries! They’re very entertaining and honestly reminds me why I choose to study marine science to begin with!
Aw that’s so good to hear - I wish you all the best in your course and any of your future endeavours!! I’ll make more of these for sure, many more, they’re a joy to create
Same!
@@NaturalWorldFacts i imagine you’re saying this with that calming voice
Hey, I was considering studying Marine Biology. Is it worth it? I don't think they get payed that much.
@@rachaeljones5742 nobody is properly compensated for their work. Do what you love.

Had swim call over the trench back in the 80s. Being a Midwestern kid used to ropeswings and diving off cliffs into the river, I had no problem diving off the elevator of an aircraft carrier into the deep blue. It was awesome and huge relief to the nasty heat and humidity of the Equator and the ship. I didn't even mind seeing the Marines armed to teeth posted as shark watch. But as I tread water and cooling off I remember looking down into the water all those miles below and started having visions of giant unknown critters...back to the boat I went. Lol ill never forget that.

Thank you for the journey and superb presentation. Keep it up!
It was sad to hear that even the deepest of ocean is getting polluted by us. It’s such a beautiful and mystic place with sea creatures that look like they came straight out of a scifi movie. Interesting video.
I'm sure the world is going to change a ton and who knows what our waste will eventually be like, but imagine if our plastic/non-deteriorable trash gathers up all over the ocean floor for like 200 years? that doesn't sound very sustainable, so yeah let's reduce the pollution, plz
@@quackman Nature will find a way to clean it up, if it can take up aluminum it can do the same to plastic given time.
@@a-dutch-z7351 Are there estimates on how long and what effects it may have in the meantime?
@@quackman Actually, scientists do not know how long it will take because it is such a new product. They talk about hundreds of years, but we really do not know. Cannot deny that it will have an effect, plastics should not be in the environment, but I guess it is particularly bad for wildlife when it is still floating, but once it is at the bottom it will go into the ground, and then the enzymes will eventually have to do their magic. There is energy in it, so nature will find a way to extract it out, and once there is such an organism it will thrive and get rid of everything globally. That is at least my hunch, and hope.
The earth will recycle everything in its own good time. Some day the Titanic will disappear too. It will oxidize to the point that it turns to iron ore dust and dissolve to the sea floor and there will be no evidence it was ever there.
it's insane that the distance from the water's surface to the (known) sea floor at the trench is further than the distance an airplane at max altitude flies above the earth's surface.
I am more freaked out that if you’re diving near an oceanic abyssal drop off (Yes like the drop off from Finding Nemo), you could be pulled down into the abyss by strong underwater currents aka down currents and never get back up that wall. It’s also where a lot of predatory sharks hang out.
@@beazrich2.017 Sounds like nightmare material!
@@nickie7874 Well, it’s an example of why you NEVER dive alone. It’s not the sharks that are your primary problem, it’s the currents, running low on oxygen etc. I imagine most people would never go near oceanic abyssal drop offs especially ones like the Grand Turk drop off of the Virgin Islands, or the Eagle Ray Pass Drop off of Grand Cayman where the islands are formed from the formation of the Cayman Trench. Luckily, most oceanic abyssal drop offs especially ones off continental land are so far out that most divers don’t have to worry about down currents etc. But oceanic abyssal drop offs are 90% likely to be as close as 5 yards from the shoreline. Hawaii, Caribbean, Bahamas, Mariana islands, Indonesia etc are examples of the oceanic abyssal drop off being not that far from the shoreline as opposed to a continental land like North America, where the oceanic abyssal drop off is 200 miles out from the shoreline etc.
Wait what explain that
Commercial aircafts fly at around 41,000 ft. It’s more than the deepest known depth. I for sure don’t wanna know how deep it really goes down
I love the narrator’s accent ❤❤
This is the best narration I've heard in a long time, I wish you could hear the reactions I was wording out everytime the narrator presented an interesting fact
no matter where you look. if you look closely, even in the most extreme environments, you'll find earth teeming with life. completely mind-blowing. the more i learn the more optimistic and exited i am to find out about life on other planets and moons.
@Dehumanizing my land lord Tardigrades and Cryptobiosis !
Amazing and fascinating !
👍 😉
there will always be some kind of organism, whether they are smart or just animals, other planets also have life we just haven't meet them yet
And unfortunately in those same environments you'll find human pollution and waste!
To be frank, our conditions, even in their extremes, are very good environments for life compared to other planets and galaxies as we know so far
Life on earth already seems alien enough
Truly fascinating. I am also amazed at the bravery of Piccard and Walsh, can you imagine seeing and hearing the window of Trieste crack knowing the pressure would kill them instantly if the window failed?
The upside...they'd never feel it.
@@krismurphy7711 Mmm is that death really instantaneous as a bullet to the hear ir a lightning strike?
@@Yokai_Yuri I read somewhere that by the times the nervous system registers the last senses, you've been reduced to a mass of mush
@@Yokai_Yuri I think it is faster than a bullet
@@Yokai_Yuri I don't think a bullet to the heart kills Instantly, there will be a few seconds where you still feel something because you still have blood and oxygen in your brain.

What's also crazy is that if earth were an apple, the ocean would pretty much just be the skin.
@@isiah6189you mean the land would be the skin
@@amouriosxmaybe he means the thickness of the skin would be the equivalent to how deep the ocean is?
just 11 kilometers. for some, it was just the distance between towns, where some could go even by bicycle
@@Tevi_L7151 🤣🤣🤣
The narrator does a great job of creating an aura of mystery. The depths of the ocean are a truly fascinating thing! Loving this channel's content so far, keep it up!
Yeah even his NordVPN spondser ad was soothing af I listened it completely!
@@harkaranlakhotra2817 Is the narrator not a woman?
@@fnamelname9077 as a non-English person, it's hard for me to tell. 40 year old women can voiceact for a 12 year old boy and I can't tell the difference (Ash Ketchum I'm looking at you)
@@harkaranlakhotra2817 I can't tell, either. When I first heard one of Tracy Chapman's songs, I thought she was a guy with a feminine voice, until I heard some of her more expressive songs.
I'm curious, because the resplendent "Leo" has not given out much information.
Great work, regardless.
Thanks guys :)
I can confirm I’m an 18 year old boy. You can see me in person in some videos like this one: th-cam.com/video/ALMo0oJifSs/w-d-xo.html
Fascinating presentation so well filmed and explained
The window of the sub starts to crack I’d be trying to go up immediately. I’d be like im out screw the footage. Hahaha
The most dangerous thing in the ocean: The Deep Sea Plastic
Or the deep sea olaf
@studio bauhaus Nature is not worried about one plastic bag but there is already more than one down there, just give it some time and there will be a lot more. Even if creatures down there are good at adjusting I don't think they will find the human plastic bags very helpful.
Sowie ich es verstanden habe, hat die Plastiktüte für den Erzähler außerdem auch einen symbolischen Charakter: es gibt keinen Ort auf der Welt, sei er noch so verborgen, den der Mensch nicht zerstören kann.
@studio bauhaus all those other things are supposed to be there the plastic isn't...
@studio bauhaus I see that I was wrong, sorry. Have a nice day, friend.
God, imagine how many filthy masks are down there too
I'm just waiting for the narrator to break out: "It was in this moment, when all hope had faded, that Isildur, son of the King, took up his father's sword!"
Right?? Hahaha had the same exact thought
Yes I was right there with you on that thought!
Foxx82 are you old enough to understand these videos? 😂
Loooolll
HAHAHA
A great doc. This is narated so beautifully, the start really reminded me of the movie "A Clockwork Orange".
I love a video that always ends in a lecture!!
Those men aboard the Trieste were something else. I remember reading about it. In the article it mentioned that the only way that they would discover a pin prick sized leak in the metal sphere would be the moment a limb of their body would be separated by it. As the insane pressure behind it would cut through them like a nearly invisible laser beam. And although the window cracked, they persevered and continued their quest.
When it was time to rise back to the surface, they disconnected the wires to a battery that powered an electromagnet. This magnet held on to the iron ballast on the bottom of the submersible. Even though the ballast dropped to the ocean floor.. the Trieste just refused to rise.. It took another breathtaking moments before she slowly inched her way back to the top. Just astounding.
it was interesting.. know how it stayed afloat? That big tank was full of GASOLINE. which is slightly lighter than water but NOT compressible.. just like water. and that's what supported the bathysphere that hung under it. to rise out of the depths they just dropped some lead. the big question of the day was HOW did they drop that lead? I would think they had some batteries on board that supplied a current that held magnets. lose the current and the magnets dropped their loads. I cannot imagine any other way that would be absolutely safe. that thing had to have a lotta battery power.. looked at the design. basically that's what it was but it used pellets instead of a block. they were held in containment by magnets. so if it lost the magnets the pellets would drop out and the thing would rise to the surface.
If the window cracked the hull would’ve completely imploded in fractions of a second, compressing and liquifying those inside. It wouldn’t cut off their limbs.
@@WarBrah i like how in the last 72 hours the general public has become aware of the uniquely horrifying nature of implosion
@@therideneverends1697 I’m in the Navy and love submarines so it’s a bit of a morbid position to be in.
@@WarBrah Im an absolute amateur physics nerd getting a degree in history for the purpose of working in archeology and preservation. So this naturally came up at some point in my reading.
I remember being distinctly surprised and horrified by the "temperature of the sun" level superheating that briefly occurs due to the friction of oxygen molecules being forced against themselves. when i first learned about it.
i mean i suppose its painless but being crushed to jelly, superheated then blown apart nearly to the molecular level in a fraction of a second is, distantly brutal
like jesus nature chill out
I wonder how long you take to make these video's because they always look stunning.
A good long while. But it’s always worth it thanks to you guys :)
@@NaturalWorldFacts Thanks for the effort
Forever fascinating and immensely telling of life before it was ever explained, explored fully comprehended. I am not just hypnotized yet totally awestruck by the depth of the Mariana trench and life that unbelievably exists there! Sorry no social media thumbs, I am a lone explorer and appreciator of such mystical realism.❤😅😊
This was a fantastic video. I'm creeped out curious terrified and so interested all at the same time. Wow 👌
"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown."
-H.P. Lovecraft
good quote . who is h.p lovecraft? thanks
@@faydulaksono HP Lovecraft was a fantabolous writer of the esoteric aspect of fictional stories, his writing always pointing to human psychology, human behavior and ultimately, human potential. He took a lot of inspiration from Tibetan mysticism, going as far as coining the term "thoughtform" directly from the Tibetan mystical term _tulpas_ in which one forms alternate realities when faced with too much trauma. They call it _fugue_ in psychology, a term David Lynch uses very often. Lynch likewise makes frequent use of Tibetan _tulpas_ in his work, especially Inland Empire and his Twin Peaks.
@@ramirovazquez2282 thank you very much !
@@ramirovazquez2282 meanwhile..........
I must say some of the weird shit down in the abyss puts even Lovecraft’s darkest nightmares to shame
Your voice is perfect for documentaries. I literally could sit all day listening to you while I draw. There’s so many little things I love about this video like the editing and the audio. I literally could see this being on TV, only it’s way better and way more relaxing.
I agree, a wonderful voice. Don't listen when you're sleepy, that monotone voice escorts you nicely into the world of dreams.
@@ZANDEELEIGH too late haha
@@ZANDEELEIGH When i discovered this channel I came back before going to bed to relax to this informative deep-sea asmr haha
hi voice is like shadow weaver's voice.
Interesting, because their voice is what made me stop watching it immediately. Trying too hard to sound dramatic. I’ll just read stuff online myself.
Thank you oceangate sub.
You're the reason I've come here.
Started from the bottom, now we're here! 🐠🐟🐡
As a kid, when I was first asked what I wanted to be when I grew up my answer was "sea explorer". Your channel has helped me reconnect to my inherent fascination and love of all marine life. Thank you for your excellent videos!
That’s so wonderful to hear!! Do you think you’ll purse a career in marine exploration?
The point the viewing window cracks and we're the 1st humans to go down there and it took 5 hrs to get there, I would of crapped my pants!!!!
Imagine the silence as the two of them waited for it to shatter!
So true of someone to say
"Life always finds a way!"
Let me get some stuff out my tool shed real quick. Meet you guys down there
Leo, the narrator of this utterly fascinating film is completely beguiling. I could listen for hours in total bliss. Your work is of such an amazing standard that it wouldn't look out of place next to Classics from the god, Sir Attenborough himself.
Thank you so much, this is really lovely 😊
Leo? I thought it was a womans' voice....excellent video.
Damn, with comments like these you might as well marry him 😬
@@carole.4628 Jaja same here. A subtle resemblance to Cate Blanchett's narration in the Lord of the Rings movie
Waiting for the fish version of : “Surface of ocean - in pursuit of the Elysium” a documentary made possible only by 2 brave underwater fishes that travels 7km from sea bottom to the surface.
Lol🤣🤣yes
I want this movie
Unbelievable 🎉 Thanks for uploading. 🙏
It’s like the ocean has multiple worlds.
Quite literally got a series coming out soon called Worlds of the Deep 😁 Here’s the trailer if you’re interested: th-cam.com/video/uqcCUw4HF0A/w-d-xo.html
Missing submersible -> James Cameron interviews about it -> Mariannas Trench videos. Welp here we are lol.
Mariana’s Trench is the scariest and coolest place on earth. I think space and the ocean have a lot in common when it comes to hidden worlds and creatures.
Space is just way fucking bigger, like wayyyyyyyyyyyy bigger.
@@roboticfuzzball179inconceivably bigger
the music in the background is so elegant
I read a great article in the New Yorker a few months ago about the Piccards. Fascinating stuff done by a fascinating family.
Ever since this submarine titanic saga ,my whole timeline has been about the inner depth of the ocean , I have really learnt alot but please TH-cam have mercy on me I want to go back to my former timeline
I just want to point out much I appreciate the video being uploaded with high quality subtitles! As usual, its amazing!!
it's amazing, not its.
I live near by the Marianas trench. Knowing it is the deepest trench in the world. It helped protect our islands from major tsunamis.
Waaa , where are you from frnd
you live Mariana Islands?
@@awekeningbro1207 who
The only 2 islands closest to the trench are Guam and Yap. Based on your last name, I presume you're from Guam.
STOP THE CAP
Thank you so very very much these amazing images
I don't know why, but it feels like I was listening to someone reading a poem. So relaxing 😎.
This fish 10:42 made me almost choke on my water, gotta love the deep ocean....
I’ve learned so much in the last few weeks that I never knew before about these deep sea dives and the titanic.
YOUR VOICE ACTUALLY RELAXING ME..
TELLING ME A STORY AS IM LAYING HERE IN THE HOSPITAL AT 4 AM... THANKS IN A GOODWAY😊❤
We are so lucky to live in this golden age of electronics that makes it possible for us to even watch these amazing informatives videos wich wouldn’t be possible even 20 years ago.
So true !
@@uresharodrigo5479 Hey ❤️😍
Video itself is sort of a miracle technology
Yet people complain about dumb shit not being appreciative of the small things. This is the secret to life
This is not the first time video making exists. There has been such invention through times and destroyed through wars. Just that in our modern day things gets faster, innovated from the innovations of peolple in the past. Don't be surprised if all footages and videos today shall be destroyed again through another major war coming, in which not even us could trace it all back, let alone future generations could.
