- A look at Neptune, a potential gateway to the stars...
Visit our sponsor, Brilliant: brilliant.org/IsaacArthur/
The Icy Giants, Neptune and Uranus, are often overlooked for as candidates for colonizing our solar system. Even when noted, the focus tends to be on their larger moons like Triton. Today we will challenge that notion by looking at way we might place a colony on the planet itself, and how Orbital Rings and Chandelier Cities might let us colonize any gas giant. We will also look at how helium-3, a core ingredient of aneutronic fusion abundant on Neptune, might serve as the fuel of future starships, and the physics behind some other starship drives future science might give us access to, such as laser propulsion.

Death Stars, ecumonopolis, cloud cities, stellar mining, planetary habitats, orbital rings, uplifting, and now planetary chainsaws? This channel is outshining most of popular science fiction. Happy birthday Isaac.
Its partly because its real. We can do this, some of it can start today. We just need people to invest in a future they wont live long enough to see.
@@frankreynolds445 the money and support never hurts either.
neptunes holds so much h20 that we would think lets go there but they have other stuff probably
Bc scifi authors don’t know what they’re talking about :v
Also they rarely approach the realm of Kardashev 2+
@@trevorle7382 Because we ourselves are Type 0.75 on the Kardashev scale, and we simply cannot begin to comprehend 2+ Kardashev scale civilizations .
NASA: Let's go to Mars
Isaac Arthur: Have you considered Neptune?
😂😂😂 I actually imagined that read in Isaac's voice
Thing is the moon is a better choice even though it's kind of boring
Elon Musk: *hits blunt*
NASA: "Uhm? Why?"
Isaac: "There can be something better than oil"
NASA: "NEPTUNE IS OUR TOP PRIORITY!"
you know. I kinda blasted NASA this week on their google plus page. Someone using the Kerbal Space Program (game) sent a manned mission to Pluto and back. I posted the youtube link, and told NASA they need to step up. Seriously, if KSP can do it, why cant we. LOL
A stormy chandelier city feels like a great place for a futuristic crime novel, like it's always storming outside, has a lot of workers for the fuel industry, maybe a nice place to do less than legal things since it's distance from the major worlds. Anyway great video!
jack1701e what country do you think would own Neptune?
none; if you declare independance from neptune, what are they gonna say about it?
No, better still, an adventure game in the style of Under A Killing Moon.
@@Roxor128 "the mutant bastards were carted off to off world mines to fester like rats, those of us who were still human, we floated, in the cities of the sky."
Necromunda
I think there's something extremely poetic about a long-lived (probably cyborg) Neptunian, lamenting the loss of the chandelier cities of old, once Neptune becomes a contracted shell world.
"Do you remember the cities that hung from above
Swaying gently in the orbital motion?
My heart aches for those grand chandeliers
Lights pulsing in clouds of the helium ocean"
25th-century poetry, in the 21st century. Nice.
Lol!

Thanks i needed a laugh today
Have you tried your hand at marketing jobs?
You’d do real good with product names and slogans lol,
Thanks for the laugh 😂
OMG THAT WAS GOD LIKE
Somebody come up with a Yer Anus joke, I'm too drunk.
The idea of "people gathering to witness the colonization of the last planet in the solar system" gave me chills and just about brought tears to my eyes. I can picture people clear as day standing with hands pressed to windows watching, completely overwhelmed, knowing what that means we'll be doing next. What an absolutely profound and deeply, yet blissfully, jarring image that is. That thought is gonna stick with me until I die.
You wrote that moving comment five years ago.
Have you written a story to go with it, yet?
Elon Musk: "We are going to put a million people in space!"
Isaac Arthur: "You misspelled trillion..."
Well a million is a good start for any colony. Trillion is what happens after all those colonies mature enough to begin making their own colonies.
millions making millions i guess
"Neptune's Chainsaw" is the best megastructure name I've ever heard.
america 100
Thats so metal
They can put that on your Tombstone after the police pull me off.
@@kobymcqueen4601 Heard of Viking Metal? Get prepared for Roman Metal
"Neptune's chainaxe"
What a beautiful color this planet has !
I like blue too 😂
metano.
Yet somehow it makes me feel... blue.
@Brendon Gillanders phrasing.
thank you!
Isaac you are terrestrially stellar. I wish you many, many more years of joy. You have astronomically expanded the parameters of my imagination and inspired countless hours of wonder and awe. Happy Birthday.
Well spoken I couldn't agree more
@Strange Boy It's not cool to make fun of someone for that, you don't know what their issue is and it's rude.
Dang... This might just be one of my favorite episodes you've ever made, and that's saying something. Seeing the orbital rings, stellasers, fusion economy, and so many other concepts from previous episodes all put together to form a system is really amazing. Your vision of humanity's (near) future is unlike any I've ever seen before, but, once explained, it seems so cogent and self-evidently necessary that I have a hard time believing it won't happen that way, at least in the broad strokes. This channel has quickly become my second-favorite exploration of science and possibility, right after Carl Sagan's original Cosmos. Keep up the good work!
To make it reality, first we must imagine it. Isaac has done this on a grand and scientific scale.
Oh, c’mon. Isaac Arthur is already better than Carl Sagan, and still a young man. Isaac Arthur will be No. 1 for the next century!
Isaac impressed me. When I play Space Engine I try to imagine some of the concepts he mentions
Out of all the series you do, I think I like the episodes about colonizing our own solar system the most.
Sign me up for the first ship. As Sagan said, everyone you know, everyone who has ever lived has lived and died on Earth. I'm ready to die on Neptune!
Low earth orbit is like being in the your doorway.You're still at home.
Indeed, Soyuz 11 is why all astronauts wear IVA suits.
Well Earth is the most dangerous planet around. For 100% of all death have happened around or on Earth! MARS is way safer, lol. As zero humans have died on MARS. As far as we know...
Sorry cannot find a tinfoil hat.. So I end topic here.
Though as Elon Musk says, 'Just not on impact.'
You beat me to it...
Happy birthday Isaac :)
And to many more.
It was my birthday yesterday too! Wow how great!
Comment Guy yeah i bet nobody came to your birthday party either
Outward Bound: Colonizing the Trappist 1 System! Unique and gorgeous views of the night sky, really short travel times, near earth gravities, a possibly pretty violent star... the challenges and opportunities are awesome!
Look at the Proxima B section of the colonizing Alpha Centauri episode.
What I love about your channel Isaac, is that even though we still live in a time period where we haven't even managed to start colonizing the Moon or Mars, you talk about all those incredibly sci-fi ideas like we could do them right here right now. You take what looks to be a distant dream and turn it into reality with your wonderfully informative videos. I have actually wondered if you're a time traveler coming from the far future to guide us to the stars and beyond. Such a huge appreciation for your channel dude. Also Happy birthday! :)
Have a 'like' for the time traveler thing.
You know. If someone did come back in time, this would be a good way to stealthily give away spoilers from the future. Hmm..
Also, Also Happy Birthday, Isaac!
Alex Blessed, Isaac said "25th century" not "right here right now". James Watt patented a pressurized steam engine in 1781, 237 years ago. Benjamin Franklins kite in a storm experiment was 1750. Imagine telling Franklin that electric powered flying drone quadrotors would be able to deliver same-day express packages from warehouses located in the Appalachian mountains and that you could place the order directly from a tablet carried in your pocket. A lot of technology happened in 268 years.
That wasn't directly about this particular video, its basically for some of his other videos where he says something along the lines of "the technology required for this exists today". You do make some great points though and I agree with you ofc, cheers!
he's a genius.
You people are crazy fans of him ain't ya. His idea isn't completely original if you"ve read enough books.
so this whole channel is absolutely amazing, the Outward Bound series are my favorite, because I feel like I am on the journey at the same time as the characters are because the characters are portrayed in the way that we feel connected to them. It’s like Isaac is telling a story instead of just explaining the science. And I don’t know about the most people, but I am a story driven person. Thank you Isaac for all you do whether you see this text or not, you are a blessing in all our lives, and all our hearts. Stay amazing my friend and keep on going because you don’t know how much we appreciate you.
Story time with Arthur. I truly appreciate your bright vision of the future. Happy birthday 🎁🎉🎈🎂🎊
I guess you could say,
colonizing Neptune is pretty _cool_
Your videos make my life infinitely more enjoyable and fill me w hope and wonder. Thank you! I hope you have a fantastic birthday!!!!!
Happy Birthdday dude!
Thank you Isaac for these amazing vids!

That made laugh so hawd. I'm weawy sowy.
So fucking annoying... Did his speech skills never surpass that of a five year old?
Gabedoeslife so were u born a dickhead
@@gabedoeslife471
Either a speech impediment or accent. Everybody talks differently. Its cool. He's making nice TH-cam videos. More than I can do.
For me it's to distracting to watch the video. I keep focusing on how the next word will be said.
This still from the beggining to now, remains one of my favorite things to do on youtube. I love thinking about the not so distant future- and how things could go. It almost sounds magical- chandelier cities hanging on Neptune, until you consider that it might actually be a really necessity.
Happy Arthrusday!
Oh, and Happy Birthday to you, Isaac!
Even on your birthday, you're the one bringing gifts to us. Sincere thanks for that. May you live at least thousands of years! ☺️
Dude, your speaking has gotten noticeably clearer over the years. All that hard work is paying off. Well done.
We absolutely need a movie franchise exploring all the topics on this channel!
Hell yeah.
I've long wanted a Triton orbiter. I suspect that the dark stains downwind from the Nitrogen geysers might be contain compounds worth mining.
Most compounds are worth mining under some circumstances. "the dark stains downwind" is not a category I had heard of before.
@@stefanr8232 That's because it's normally associated with Uranus.
lmao well, I guess someone had to say it
Hi Isaac! Happy birthday for next week and congrats on the channel's 4 year anniversary. I've been a subscriber for a couple of years now and your content just keeps getting better! I'm forever grateful to you for the work you put in to providing quality, informative videos for your fans :)
I love these episodes. Whenever I feel like life's negative and pointless, I try to remember that if we believe in this bigger better future for humanity, the things we do today really can help it to happen.
Chandelier cities are now making it into my original graphic novel! Thank you for the inspiration and giving my favorite planet a well needed shout out!
Holy crap I didn’t know Isaac has an entire staff working on these videos lol. That’s impressive.
Most of us graphics people are volunteers. Each guy has their own technique which is really cool!
I had no idea Elmer fudd narrates.
Wascally Wabbits!!
Please never stop making these. I myself love to ponder at this sort of stuff all the time but man you take it to a whole different level.
Thanks so much for doing this kind of amazing educational video. Much appreciated.
I love thursdays, been keeping an eye out all day for the notification to appear
I'm really looking forward to the seasteading episode. I spent a good deal of time when I was a kid thinking about the possibilities of building an artificial floating island in such a way as to have it be relatively self sufficient with a meaningful population. Dredging the ocean floor would be one way of making a lot of money, there's all sorts of untapped mineral deposits down there just waiting to be picked up and turned into things.
LandNotBombs argues that industrial agriculture is best located on the Earth's ocean surface. By so doing, ocean bioproductivity is potentially sufficient to reverse atmospheric CO2 increase and consequent global warming. Furthermore, moving industrial agriculture onto the ocean will free wildlife habitat and abate the shameful extinction rate. In short, ocean-based industrial agriculture is feasible, desirable, and economically competitive with land-based industrial practices.

what a useful idea
Seashells are made of calcium carbonate (CaCO3), and as such, can bind atmospheric CO2. We could make huge oyster and mussels farms, or just artificial reefs the size of continents.
@@PaulaJBean ..did you know that most of the ocean bottom is filled with "calciferous ooze" which COULD BE the mineral precursor for Portland Cement?
Happy anniversary, and especially happy birthday! Wishing you millions more!
Happy birthday Issac! The chandelier cities sound like an amazing place to live.
Happy Birthday you magnificent man! You are an inspiration to us all. I also need to thank all your helpers.
Happy birthday, Isaac. And great video as always. You make a bright future sound so... inevitable. Gives an aging man hope. ;-)
No one makes me rewind more than this guy! I love it!
Happy Birthday Isaac, I can't say this enough but thank you to you and everyone involved in bringing this show together every week.
Love the outward bound episodes, so inspiring.
Great to see some love for Neptune! Visually it’s always been the most beautiful planet for me. If they crack life extension in my lifetime, it will be on my list of destinations!
Happy birthday, Isaac and thank you for sharing all this awsomeness with us!
The Outward Bound series are the best!!! Besides the other awesome content on this channel that is :)
Also: happy birthday Isaac!
Happy Birthday Issac! Live long and prosper.
Happy Birthday Isaac!!!!!
🎈🎁
I have been a fan since I graduated college.
I look forward to your videos everyweek.
Happy Birthday Issac, to you and the channel :)
Hello Isaac, just wanted to say I love the channel and very much enjoy learning about pretty much all topics on your channel. Especially the Outward Bound series and the Civilizations at the End of Time series. Keep up the great work and thanks again for the work you put into your content
Happy Birthday. 4 years? Amazing!
Week after week your videos have such details, almost never neglecting the smallest details!
I wonder at what speed IA ' s mind works. Dose he ever sleep?
Chandelier cities? Who else would consider this or diamond rain !
well the diamond rain is a known scientific theory that scientists have been floating around for years now.. in fact most say that it not only rains diamonds, but that there are "iceburgs" of giant diamonds(diamond burgs)floating in a hydrocarbon sea, closer to the mantel of the giant planet.
He probably does sleep, he just runs at 3x normal speed due to spending $100 per month on instant coffee.
You are the best at narrating such topics
Happy birthday, isaac, and happy birthday for the channel!
I listen to these in bed every Thursday. Although the visuals on the video are great, if you only listen, Issac's ability to describe sends your imagination to amazing places.
Me too. I actually turn the screen off and lie in bed listening before I drift off to sleep. Isaac has a wonderful voice.
Too bad our government isn't as forward thinking as you. Cheers
Well, the government is very very beaurocratic. What you expect from the government?
@@libertopaeurekananarch7562 I guess I expect what we got. But it's still too bad.
Why don't you get into the government and change it be forward thinking?
Gagarinone
One man can’t do it, change the whole government structure that is
Governments are purposefully inefficient by design. If you want forward-thinking, the private sector is the way to go. The commercialization of space will be the driving force behind innovation and development of space exploration projects.
Happy Birthday Isaac, and a Happy Channelversary!
Happy Anniversary SFIA. :)
"Oh, right, the chainsaw.
The chainsaw for Neptune.
The chainsaw, chosen specially to give to Neptune.
Neptune's Chainsaw."
Wrong leveeeeeeeer
Nice 😊
Diamonds! Are the Neptune's colonists' best friend
If we mined the even a tiny fraction of the diamonds of a gas planet such as Neptune, the price of diamonds would fall through the floor because the supply would so outstrip the demand that diamonds would be worth very little!
Libertopa EurekanAnarch
That’s great! Another useful resource that can be used by everyone
Well done Arthur, FOUR YEARS!!!
Today's episode felt poetic and beautiful!
Happy birthday/channel-anniversary Isaac!
Political science may be outside your wheelhouse, but I'm curious about what kind of governance structures you think might be in place when people start building these giant mega-projects. Such colossal endeavors and civilizations sized to build them would presumably require comparably colossal governance structures, or maybe superintelligent AI's. It doesn't seem likely to me that the kinds of governments we have experience with would work very well for civilizations with populations in the trillions and beyond equipped with world-wrecking superlasers as everyday transportation infrastructure.
What is this guys accent?
“Hello it is us, the humans from planet Orth”
It's a dialect widely spoken in the Oort Cloud.
It's a speech impediment. He cant say 'R's
dean84921 That’s not the only thing he can’t say.
Lol well I’m not trying to make fun of anyone’s speech impediment I just found it amusing that a guy who makes space videos pronounces his planet wrong lmao the vids are great I hope it wasn’t rude for me to say that. ❤️
Happy Birthday & Anniversary Arthur!
YAY! My Thursday just turned around! Thanks Isaac!
somebody accidently clicked the dislike... i'm not mad...just saying (to whoever made the mistake) that he/she should correct it.
jet flaque Neptune probably isn’t their favorite planet
Neptune bigotery!
Most dislikes come from automatic programs trying to game the google system.
It's all the flat neptuners. Just disregard them.

Well a Happy Birthday and Fourth Channel Anniversary. This video like many others you and your crew has made continues to inspire and educate the likes of me.
Your knowledge continues to blast my preconceptions out of the water, the Neptune Chainsaw and Chandelier cities in particular are fascinating. As always I look forward to the next ones.
Goodonyah Isaac, happy times ahead and good wishes.

I think we should make a communal sci-fi series. We should use all these ideas and make a public work all under a single pen-name and donate the whole sum to 3 main causes : trans-humanism, space exploration, and nominal consistent power such as the solar array. If this gets to 50+ likes I'll make the Google doc.
I support you.
Outward Bound: The road to the year 3000 seems like a fitting name.
I love this idea!
Another outward bound! So excited, I love this sub-set of your videos.
Awesome episode thanks Isaac !
Two people are disappointed this episode isn't about Uranus.
Happy Birthday, Isaac!

I am a simple man, I see a Isaac Arthur video, I click the like button.
Simple, or well-informed, Isaac Arthur has the ability to reach us all..
Sadly I do miss his original accent.
@@marlonlacert8133 His voice changed..? I didnt notice.
Shamusfarmer, Yes Issac Arthur, has got to voice training classes..
Sorry, I am in love with the word, "Wessels". And love the "Whale gun".
So much so that I have paused the original Star Trek and replayed the word, "Wessels".
This word, just sounds so pleasing to the ear. And Issac Arthur, just naturally pulled this off.
Heck, this is my addiction. We all have our malfunctions. As I have a bit of "Synesthesia", where I see loud sounds as colorful flashes. And this word when spoken naturally triggers a pleasant comforting feeling.
Problem, for me was that the whole of Issac Artur's voice before voice training, was very pleasant in it's feelings. It has now lost too much color, and feels duller.
@@marlonlacert8133 WOW! You have synethsesia!? That's so cool, that's one of my favorite disorders! No wonder it was such an apparent thing to you!! Please tell me a little bit more about your experiences! Please? Just a bit? PS I will have to listen more closely...
Happy birthday! Happy Anniversary! Happy Arthursday!
Happy Birthday Issac!! You have greatly expanded my knowledge and interest in astronomy and I recommend your channel to all my scifi friends and science teachers. I also love how you can present the information in these videos in both an educational and narrative manner, beyond the realm of simply interesting. I'm always drawn in with the wealth of information and ideas that you explain.
You didn't just convert Neptune into rotating habitats? I'm shocked! I thought rotating habitats were the answer to everything!
Breaking it up to build rotating habitats comes later. The episode was about the 25th century. The nitrogen gas that is extracted will be shipped to rotating habitats. You have to consume Neptune's atmosphere before the solids become widely available. He did mention the diamonds. Carbon is good for habitat construction.
Ok. Maybe.
I love Isaac Arthur's vids but he tends to converge on a single path to the future. That's unwise. The real future will be full of surprises. Maybe fusion is fundamentally unreliable outside of stars. Maybe rotating habs are as dumb as planes with flapping wings. Maybe minds require messy meat hardware. Who knows!
Happy birthday
Happy Birthday Isaac!
Happy Birthday Isaac! And happy anniversary, too. 😎
Floating bubble habitats in Neptune’s atmosphere.
What do you call a 7' tall person who's addicted to baked beans?

Cool Episode!! Love this channel so much!
This one I enjoyed more than usual. Very inspiring.
@Isaac Arthur I wouldn't wait to much longer to ask Mr. Benford about his hanging cities. He IS in his late 70's !
True, come to think of it he's a facebook friend too which makes it doubly weird I've never asked.
@@isaacarthurSFIA So, did you ask him? What did he say? :)
"Uwanus and Nweptune"
I'm sorry it's too adorable for me to pay attention 🥺
Happy birthday Isaac! Thank you for getting us excited about the future!!
Been waiting for this for months
I wonder if colonies on Neptune could outlast the sun...
They probably could. Once you get past Saturn, the sun doesn't affect you much at all, only gravitationally and with its light.
Are any of Neptune's Moons Tidally locked? if so, how about an anchor? build a structure deep into the moon. which will hold Extremely long and strong tethers. long enough to reach Neptune. which extract resources.
Triton orbits retrograde.
As far as we know, ALL moons are tidally locked to the planets they orbit.
Libertopa EurekanAnarch, Himalia orbits Jupiter in 251 days and rotates in 7.8 hours. Phoebe orbits Saturn in 551 days and rotates in 9.3 hours. Sycorax orbits Uranus in 1288 days and has 3.6 hour rotation.
Thank you. I am learning new once again. Keep it up
Happy Birthday, Isaac! Thanks for helping us understand all the amazing things that are possible.
Nah, thanks. Still having flashbacks over Event Horizon and Stasis.
*Rips out own eyeballs*
Where we're going, we won't need eyes to see...
Lord Tzeentch will provide us with spares aplenty.
Assuming that humans will be around for millions of years, I wonder what the solar system will look like in a million years? Will our gas planets be noticeably smaller than they are now? Take your photos people. Appreciate it while it's still here lol
I hope not. I'm fine with cannibalizing the asteroid belt / Kuiper belt / Oort cloud, but I'd rather we leave those beautiful planets alone.
You should look up the Dyson cloud episode.
When was the last time you looked at Neptune?
I think we will mine out earth and turn it in many layers of shells each a natural automatizated habitat and eventually depopulating it and forgetting it, even forgetting the original layer were humanity once evolved while trans humans are swarming the Sun and other suns and the descendants of today's uncontacted humans recolonize earth unaware of the sky being a giant led dome and telling legends of the God-builders that created earth and sky and water and gifted that creation to them
@@ferblancart8669 even though that is not how I think that would go down personally, that is an amazing idea
Very nice job here, Isaac! Informative, educational, and beautiful graphics to watch the sequences of scenery & spacecraft as you narrate!
Happy Birthday Isaac, thanks for all the great videos you put out!!!
The narrator talks like that cartoon character Elmer Fudd .😅
