I think Dreadnaughtus is the best dinosaur name in years. It's surprising no one thought of it before.
Haha! Likewise.
Too bad Scishow (consistently) misspelled it; it's called _dreadnoughtus schari_, after the Dreadnought battleships. Nothing naughty.
Martijn Coppoolse A British Tar is a soaring soul, as free as a mountain bird. His energetic fist should be ready to resist a dictatorial word!
Brings awesome images of a huge dino covered in steampunk style armour and massive battleship guns into my mind.
but I do have a slightly overactive imagination.
WildwoodClaire1 His nose should pant and his lip should curl
His cheeks should flame and his brow should furl
His bosom should heave and his heart should glow
And his fist be ever ready for a knock-down blow!
SciShow , please continue to follow this story. I would like to know the biomechanics of these creatures--how their bones supported their massive mass, how they moved, etc. I assume it will be similar to other large dinos, but I'd like to hear more as more becomes available. Thanks!
Thanks for talking about the earthquakes!! I have been watching quakes for five years and I am fascinated by it. And you are right! There are quakes every day all the time, and in fact one JUST happened before I started watching this video, right next to that Volcano in Paupa New Guinea that erupted on August 29th 2014. Do an episode on Paupa New Guinea! I Love SciShow
Thanks for the great show! I always learn something new here.
Hey Hank! I live in Valparaiso, Chile. Love your channel! :D
Dreatnaughtus sounds like a metal band
I grew up in Vallejo CA, which is extremely close to Napa Valley where the big quake happened. I have a lot of family there so I was very concerned. But as a Californian, I'm used to quakes, so all the ones happening here in Oklahoma are nothing to me. It humors me when everyone else is freaking out about a little tremor.
This dinosaur news is very thrilling in my nerdy heart, as a kid I was so in love with learning about them and memorizing their names, and watching Jurassic Park over and over again. And yeah, "for a girl" I knew more about them and had tons of figures than any boy I knew.
Congratulations 2 million subscribers good job!
Dreadnaughtus: 60 metric tons
Blue Whale: 170 metric tons
Blue whales are awesome. xD

I donated SciShow... I love you guys too much. ;)
***** spambot, you have been reported.
***** well lets see you spam, thats pretty obvious. and the little blah blah you type is automated cos i have seen it on three other youtube vids and the only thing that change is the numbers. and you cant report someone for false assumptions. especially when they are at least 50% valid.
***** the numbers don't bother me , its the blatant plug that I find tasteless. And i really did think you are a bot. maybe you should vary the presentation. anyways my beef with you has ended. live long and prosper.
***** but what if one is, in fact, perfect? Who decides what defines perfection? Is it not like beauty, in the eye of the beholder? ponder that.

Normally I hate self advertisers, I think you are the one exception.
You actually have proved to be able to offer something to us that we would genuinely enjoy.
You've earned a sub.
Look at his glasses at 1:20
Part of them disappears
Woah.

hard to see but i saw something
When I didn't think I could love this channel even more you drop a Clash of Clans reference.
It may be on the to-do list, but would you guys do a story on the new Dendrogramma discovery? It's really neat stuff.
I wish they would give some more references when they talk about this stuff...
One that comes to mind is:
David Hill (2006), Dynamic Triggering, Accepted for publication in Treatise on Geophysics (G. Schubert, ed.), Chapter 8 in Volume 4, “Earthquake Seismology” (H. Kanamori, ed.)
Hello, I suffer from odd thing called Misophonia, I tend to get awfully aggressive over slapping, soppy sound of eating, and circular, chewing motions. Thought of that alone gives me aggressive twitches. It is an disorder not held by DSM-5, and there's little support regarding it. Can you explain how it works?
Yes, the Napa earthquake woke me up.... It was scary because it was the first time I ever experienced an earthquake
Possible future big dinosaur names

I like your glasses Hank :D ! Reacting well with the screen behind :p
Plot twist: That's not a Humerus. It's a deformed finger bone! WOOP!
I wonder if you would feel the ground tremble if you stood next to that dinosaur as it walks.
considering how the ground trembles when a large truck passes by, I would guess so :) And most trucks are lighter than the 60 metrics tons of this dinosaur.
If it weighs 60 tons, you damn well most definitely would feel the ground tremble.
Most Melbourne Trams are around 20-30 tons, depending on their load and design. When they go rattling by, you can feel the ground vibrate even if you're 10-20 meters away, and you can hear it way, way, way further away than that.
Consider that these Trams have a consistent weight via wheels that simply travels along the ground. If you had a Dinosaur that weighs TWICE this (60 tons) and puts all of its weight down with each step, it'd be like a miniature, localized earthquake each time.
When I first read dreadnaughtus in the description I imagined a Bob Marley type dyno and that would be truly the coolest thing ever.
OMG that clash of clans reference
My god it wasnt until this video that i learned what Dreadnaught meant. Nothing to fear because dread-naught or fear not.
Nothing to fear, dreadnaught coming through....
It's also the name of a class of super battleship from WW1.
It's also spelt "dreadnought", though I suspect a Murrrrican was responsible for naming it.

Mr. Y Those damn Americans and their different dialect of English. Though i must say spelling American wrong on purpose doesn't help what ever point you are trying to make. It only makes you look like an idiot.
My two favorite tv personalities: Hank Green and Alton Brown. They kind of looked like they could be related....
awww maan... I fvcking love this channel!
I would love to see a graphic comparing this dinosaur to the other large dinasaurs.
The Napa quake was... well, I found it kind of fun, but I live near Oakland, not in Napa where it was probably terrifying. I was not yet born when Loma Prieta hit so this is my largest magnitude earthquake so far.
Earthquakes are totally contagious. I caught one last week.
.....and thanks Hank for reminding me to check my Clan!!
Hank mentioning my country and mispronouncing Valparaíso totally made my day ♥
Was kind of weird to see my home town mentioned on scishow. I will say the 89 quake will be forever etched in my mind but at least it was rolling and still light out. The recent one... Well just imagine your sleeping and your house starts shaking transformer blow up and no power. But now maybe we can go until I'm 60 without another one
Gosh, that's MASSIVE! A 60 ton beast. Imagine that.
Awesome! That dinosaur sounds so cool :-)
HANK! Hey. I was wondering what are your thoughts on some of Suspicious 0bservers theories about weather and what drives it, as well as his theories about earthquakes.
How could dinosaurs be so big? The largest living land animal is the African Bush Elephant. And this dinosaur was 13 times larger? How? Why are there no land animals of that size today?
Scientist believe animals were bigger in the past because of higher temperatures to keep their blood warm. Also there was a higher amount of oxygen in the past because of more plants and less animals. Together it gave animals the ability to grow bigger.
It's probably because there was more oxygen in the atmosphere back then. Same happened with insects, dragon flies were huge and so were other species.
Because the air had more oxygen back then and because all big animals now are mammals and mammals can't become super big because then the pregnancy would take too long.
If I recall correctly, it's because of climate. There were warmer temperatures, more vegetation, more oxygen in the air, and as a result, a much larger ecosystem capable of supporting large animals like that.
There's no room for it. Elephants could grow bigger but their habitat is dwindling so there's not enough resources, nor is there really a need, for them to get bigger. The large dinosaurs got so big as a defense mechanism against their predators. Today, lions and tigers are much smaller than elephants and they typically have to hunt in a group to take even one elephant down. There's just no reason to be so big at this point in time.
thanks Hank we Love you
Please do a video on that 10% of our brains thing, Lucy has cemented that pseudo-science into pop culture so much I doubt it'll ever go away now
I love the Titanosaurs, It would have been awesome to see them up and moving around.
TH-cam is so dumb! I'm subscribed to SciShow and everytime SciShow posts a new video, I see it in my suggested videos before it puts a little "1" next to SciShow on the left had side. I watch the new video then ten minutes later the little "1" appears as if I didn't just watch the new video. I even got an email telling me there was a new video this time and the little "1" still showed up AFTER I watched the video.
I get email updates
it can be because you closed it short before it really ended, but i am not sure, happened to me too - but the bigger problem: when i click on the channel it presents random old videos instead of the newest like before - WTF
Dani B. Possibly, I've been noticing it for months though and it's happened pretty much every video. I'm pretty sure I don't leave the page early for the majority of Sci-Show videos I watch (I'm usually interested in the comments lol).
I've been noticing the issue you mentioned as well. I have to actually go into their videos section to see the most recent videos posted. and it only keeps track of your "watched" videos for like 3 weeks so it'll start recommending videos you've already seen.
s0medudeonline exactly that's what i experienced we should ask google social designers - there is one who made the top comment
Dani B. I've gone to google forums to try to resolve other google/youtube issues and the general consensus is that Google doesn't really give a crap. Issues posted years ago in the forums are questioned again a year or more later by other users who still experience the same issue but no solution is ever produced.
Feel free to give it your best shot, but don't get your hopes up.
3:26 "south sandwich trench" yum.
Nice video
So I hope this isn't a dumb question but how do I leave a suggestion for these wonderful people on a certain question/subject...
i like the coC reference
I'm in love with that guy.
I was mind blown, but was even more mind blown when Hank mentioned Clash of Clans. DOES HE PLAY IT? He seemed like the person least likely to play Clash.
Dreadnoughtus. I want to give an atomic hi-5 to that badass person who named that badass dinosaur. Cuz its fucking BADASS!!
worth noting:
earthquakes that far away are unrelated (obviously). but, recent data suggests that if you have nearby faults with built up pressure (faults ready to go), one fault rupturing can disturb the other faults into rupturing. effectively, this can create a cascade effect of massive earth movements. yeah. thats kinda horrifying. i'm from southern california, so as most of you are possibly aware, our big earthquake fear is the san andres fault rupturing. if that were to happen, the current fear is that it would rupture other nearby faults, bumping up the magnitude even further. but, we still don't really get how this works, so its hard to predict if this will happen- thus, hard to predict how big that earthquake actually would be (interestingly though, we DO know how big an earthquake from a given fault would be- we can calculate how long between movements on a fault, and thus how much potential energy is built up in there. that translates to magnitude of earthquake. though, again worth noting, magnitude does not equal intensity- that actually kinda has more to do with the area and resonance of the soil there. buuut...this is getting tangential).
-sauce: studying civil engineering with an emphasis in geotechnical engineering. :D
Hello Hank!
Hey SciShow,
The USGS tracks earthquakes world wide, that 20,000+ figure is not just for the USA.
I would love to see a sci show episode on how the USGS actually tracks all of the eathquakes with out having local seismographs.
What are glaciers? And what are their roles in forming now environments?
3:46 what the hell is that sound!?
I always feel anxious whenever I see the fluid beside Hank going down, thinking that he may be running out of time to speak. Is it just me?
Welp... Just found out that Hank Green's brother wrote the "Fault in our Stars" and "Paper Towns"... I feel like I just found the Holy Grail.
I felt this way when I found the Rhett and Link invented Dancing Zebra and Nope...
TH-cam man... TH-cam.
1:50 "Vertebra" as a plural? You're getting into hectacre territory, Hank. ;)
I remember being in that earthquake. Oh wait I was asleep! Wait I refuse to read the news! How bad was it in napa
Actually, the USGS identifies earthquakes globally... not just in the US. That 20,000 per annum figure I'm sure would include all detectable earthquakes planet-wide. Case in point: I was in Himachal Pradesh, India in Sept-Oct of 2012 where I experienced a local quake. I got on the USGS earthquake site and found the quake's position and magnitude listed within minutes of its occurrence. Yay! USGS!
They did an episode on it
As it happens, there is a strong correlation between CME's/Solar Flares and large earthquakes, particularly 8.0+. This observed phenomena of groups of rapidly occurring quakes may be a result of the truly massive amount of energy being shot at the earth via the aforementioned solar phenomena.
"If you wanna help us getting the world straight..." not the best word choice I think :P
loved the clash of clans reference!
What was that sound at 3:49 ?
Earthquake is definitely contagious. I caught it last week!
Crazy
Question: How can we measure how big the animal was based off of a humerus and a femur? Can you do a segment on how that process goes?
Does anyone else notice the slight hum at 3:51? Or am I going insane.
0:52 t-rexes were unable to take a picture without their mouth open? it's like miley cyrus with the tongue? lol...
can you tell me about chiropractic?
Can I just say that Dreadnaughtus is a really cool name?
3:50 I heard something in the background.
I love every time science makes another discovery... and I'm suppose to believe that the earth was created 6000 years ago acording to some religious book... keep up slapping religion's face science...
The Bible doesn't give a specific age for the earth. People who claim it does are simplifying and misinterpreting the text.
***** don't defend a lie.
***** don't defend a lie.
theminerexpert77 I'm not defending anything, I'm saying people who claim the earth is only 6,000 years old are wrong, and their statement isn't supported by anything in the Bible.
theminerexpert77 hes stating that those that believe the earth is that young are those that are spouting the work of a priest that used some stupid mathematical formula to come about with Gods approximate age of the earth.
There is literally nothing in the bible beyond the 7 days thing.
Do you think you might be able to make a video on the smallest dinosaur
I bet that's a Superman shirt he is wearing underneath! :D
The USGS doesn't report only on US quakes. Their scope is worldwide. The 55/day number is worldwide.
are you looking forward to your report on the upcoming pacific northwet megaquake?
Lmao "like the troops in CoC" Hahah
By fluid he means that the molocules of the soil, granite, limestone,bedrock and various other elements in the crust are to far apart, ie water which is a fluid, yes the crusy is a solid but the ability to transfer the requires energy a long distance is kust not there take into consideration also that there is quadrillions of tonnes of pressure above most of the earths crust and that slowes down the transference of energy just like trying to talk to someone who has noise cancellation headphones on
Do a video on the science of jello
Lol I like this man, he knows GoT and CoC cool!
Would it be possibly to one day invent a program that decodes, maps, and conceptualizes DNA? as in a program that could show us what animals looked like based on its DNA?
Yes. We "just" need a DNA virtual machine and some other cell emulating software. Throw it all in a supercomputer and voila!
remuladgryta That would be fucking cool.
Maybe, but for what I've read, DNA has an expiration date of a few million years. So unlike what Jurassic Park has made you believe, we haven't, and can't, found dinosaur DNA
Arturo Gutierrez Ic.
Arturo Gutierrez Though I do believe Russians recently found wooly mammoth DNA frozen in ice that survived pretty well. In the right circumstances we might find some older DNA from dinosaurs frozen in ice too though we would have to be incredibly lucky.
I thought seismic activity is the relief of stress with a fault because you know faults are moving... And that relief of stress creates more relief of stress... After the large earthquake that hit Japan seismologists said there were like 500 more small earthquakes caused by the main earthquake...
valparaíso***
One would guess that me living in Argentina would have already heard about this new dinosaur. I don't know if the cause was poor media coverage or the fact that we have other (more important) things to worry about. Neither one makes us look good.
surely those 3 examples are completely related as theyre all along the same convergent plate boundary of the american plate and the pacific plate, releasing stress around the same time?
I want to see Dreadnautus in Jurrasic Park 4.
Weird background noise at 3:36 ...?
The amphicoleas Fragiminulus
dreadnaught from naxx 40?
But what if I'm already subscribed?
You just went full subscriber!
beezwaxx never go full subscriber.
Exactly!
what about seismosaurus, they've been estimated to be in upwards of 90 tons
Damn, that was early. 5 minutes after upload.
Imagine how huge their shit will be
I bet they named the new dinosaur "dreadnoughtus" because it could rock out on a guitar.
Spooky noise at 3:50
Why I have scars , that go away after some time , after scratching my skin ?
I swear that when he said troops in clash of clans, I got a notification that my troops are ready
can you do a video on the asteroid that may hit earth in 2880
Clash is love Clash is life....
hell yeah brother :)
Dreadnautus the most complete Titanosaur ever discovered? That means archaeology is getting better, doesn't it? Thank Godness they were able to find such a complete specimen!
*Paleontology.
NZ, right on that belt... because who needs to have solid ground?
How much guesswork goes into dinosaur identification when all you find is that little?
