Why are we here in this life? Why do we die? What will happen to us after death?

I love planet wild, ive subscribed their channel
What’s the name of the movie where the guy punch the thing in his face?
@@nevergiveup5939must do some research
"imagine a dragonfly the size of a crow"
***shows dragonfly the size of an helicopter***
this channel is garbage lol
lmfaooooo
That's why they asked you to imagine it
They had a 5 foot wingspan bigger than a crow.
A dragon fly would eat my drone. 😂
Could only imagine the other creatures we still haven’t discovered yet
Truth is down there in the earths ocean is full of emptiness so I don’t think you’ll find much, scary thing is other civilizations in space
No thanks
Bigfoot exists!!!
@@sfgqk true, but I’ve imagined that there were many other creatures that we would unfortunately not discover due to their remains being dissolved completely due to how long time passed, same can be said with the ocean
Any one saw the news of An Alien Corpse discovered in Mexico? I only seeing news reports, None of the science channels are covering up with topic :((
A thought that always tickles my brain is:
The image we have of the past is based on the fossils we've found, but of course MOSt animals didnt leave fossils. God knows what creatures lived back when.
Some may have just been huge versions of todays animals, while others might have been completely unknowable strings of evolution that went extinct and were unrelated to anything afterwards.
No this would be ignoring the whole point of evolution. We are all related in someway and we have no reason to ever believe just because something went extinct nothing else is like it. If we look all through history whatever went extinct was just replaced by other things similar. If dinosaurs go extinct oh well birds carry on, alligators still thrive, and many other species close to them exist. Then humans are still connected to dinosaurs.
To say it's unrelated to anything afterwards is just wrong, we all share Dna and new similar species thrive from the dead ones. Otherwise if it was unrelated that would be an Alien.
This the kinda shit I'm thinking about aswell, life in general is just so strange man
People will never know the whole truth, no matter how much we want. But living in a world where there is no room for fantasy is not so interesting.
avatar planet
Reading this as im stoned on weed..... shit man, heavy
It just hit me now, with how FREAKY Pangaea era had to be!
One big land mass... but the rest was a water world!🤯
I already fear the ocean, but the idea of one massive ocean infested with prehistoric carnivorous monsters is terrifying lol.
how creepy it STILL is...😆
Can you imagine if you saw one of these giant insects today? I would freak out and run in the other direction.
I would eat them.
@@arishemghoul9571 No. They would eat you.
@@ahkafkhan4512I would rather get eaten or use something to kill them.
Imagine how their meat would taste. Mhm, I wanna eat it.
I’d crap my pants and pass out
What if this channel didnt exist? What would have happened to the owner of this channel, what would have happened to my this comment, what would have happened to the time i spent on his vedios.
Most underrated comment ever….
Probably because of the typos 😔
I found it very funny though.
Funny how it's edited and still not correct
Imagine if oxigen levels go up again
A lot of other channels have covered that idea.
It would be the end of us.
I'd breathe in more oxygen-rich air and become super healthy? Awesome!
Wed die :p were nitrogen based
guess we will becoming big too
Don’t worry we learned from pacific rim
The world was wild back then
Could still imagine what other creatures that lived at that time that we haven’t discovered yet (or wouldn’t with how long time passed)
Still is m8
Literally
Always has been 🌎🧑🚀🔫
More now
This is one of my favorite era to learn about.
More, please!
go and live in Australia.
you would live this IRL
Stay tuned 😀
Before the flood, even humans were bigger.
@@JESUSisComingBackSoon-ue9pc My pp hurts

It would be a nightmare in the summer months. 😂
True 😊
I always wondered how long it would take me to die a horrific death if I time travelled to this time or Late Cretaceous.
“Wow, this is ama-“
Giant Insect: “Hi.”
Just read the bible. constantly speaks of them.
It never happened. Dinasaur's. In the bible called Behemoth or beast or dragons. God created all. They lived among us.
The Hebrew word behemoth has the same form as the plural of the Hebrew noun בהמה behemah meaning 'beast', suggesting an augmentative meaning 'great beast'.
Scripture.
Job 40
King James Version
40 Moreover the Lord answered Job, and said,
2 Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.
3 Then Job answered the Lord, and said,
4 Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.
5 Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.
6 Then answered the Lord unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
7 Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
8 Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?
9 Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?
10 Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty.
11 Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.
12 Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.
13 Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.
14 Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.
15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
16 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
18 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
19 He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.
20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
22 The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
24 He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.
Leviathan.
Job 41
King James Version
41 Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?
2 Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?
3 Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee?
4 Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?
5 Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?
6 Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?
7 Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?
8 Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.
9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
10 None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?
11 Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.
12 I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.
13 Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle?
14 Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.
15 His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.
16 One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
17 They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.
18 By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.
20 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.
21 His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.
22 In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.
23 The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.
24 His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.
25 When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.
26 The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.
27 He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.
28 The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.
29 Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.
30 Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.
31 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.
32 He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.
33 Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.
34 He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.
Amen.
Lol 😂
2:41 For those who are not used to the metric system: 70cm is quite much for a scorpion but not THAT enormous like it looks in this scene. 😉
You mean for those living in the three countries that don't use it?
Two of them are third world countries and one of them is a third world country in disguise
70cm is half a toddler
Daddy, daddy, there is a spider in our bedroom""
"Okay, I'll deal with it. whn the programme on the TV is finished."
"Daddy, daddy, there is a 70 cm scorpion in our bedroom."
"Lets run."
“A wingspan of up to 75 centimetres😮” as clip shows it bigger than a tree😂 exaggeration nation for a few dollas 😅
@@halneuntausend5525 bro how is America third-world our country isn't 3rd world
Thanks to the camera man for going back in time and getting us these shots
You are welcome 😍
Stop calling animals that aren't insects - insects.
Technically most if those insects didn't go extinct. Their offspring just didn't grow as big due to reduced O2 density.
Insects today, still have the capability to grow as big as their Carboniferous ancestors.
The Giant Petaltail & Giant Darner dragonflies, have the exact same morphology as 2 species of Meganeura from the Carboniferous Period.
Giant Petatails & Darners grew 15% larger when grown in hyperboxic habitats, & grew bigger still when adequate food supply was available.
Paleobiologists believe that successive generations of these dragonflies will eventually reach the size of their Meganeura ancestors, provided the difficulties of raising dragonflies in captivity can be remedied, & a large enough habitat could be maintained.
Prove it
@@icankillbugs
I don't have to prove it. Entomologists have already proven it with peer reviewed experiments, & Geneticists have already long since identified the genomes that limit the physical size of most insects.
These are observations that have been tested & verified. Go read all the studies on Insects Grown in Hyperboxic Habitats.
That is how science works, you dolt.
@@icankillbugsoh god you're gonna have quite the conundrum on your hands
Lol dude…no. omfg 🤦🏻♂️
But why? Are they going to weaponise these monster dragonflies somehow or just unleash them on the horrified public?
You already know what happened in Island of Giant Insects. Imagine a World of Giant Insects.
Imagine flyswatters the size of tennis courts.
"We are going in with the first wave, means more bugs for us to kill. You smash the entire area, you kill anything with more than two legs. You get me?"
"WE GET YOU SIR!"
Except the smart bug. Don't kill that one. Capture it alive.
"Even Three Legged Bill, sir?"
"Especially Three Legged Bill."
Three Legged Bill: "Shit."
I can imagine the stench during the dinosaur era. The sheer amount of dinosaur feces and rotting flesh of other dead dinosaurs mixed with the warm and often humid climate must’ve been unbearably disgusting 😣
Imagine the climate change!
You watch too many movies.
What? Earth is too big for it to be a problem, it would be similar to today.
Gross
Good thing there wasn't windshields in those days.
Exploring the era of GIANT INSECTS is a fascinating journey into Earth's prehistoric past.
Yeah, just imagine the things that existed that we'll likely never know about. We've been lucky in regards to finding various fossilized creatures so we know some of the things that used to live on the planet, but that's obviously only a small portion. I think it would be truly mind-blowing to see every type of life that's existed throughout Earth's history, so it really is unfortunate that we'll never get that chance.
When I was a kid, I used to wish that some advanced extraterrestrial race had literally treated Earth as a zoo and had "recorded" every single thing that's ever taken place, from the formation of the solar system and our planet to the beginning and evolution of all living things. And, in that hope, I had also wished that they'd one day show it all to us -- in video form, I suppose -- after eventually making (peaceful) contact.
Despite how unrealistic that is, I'd be lying if I said there wasn't a part of me still hoping and wishing for such a thing to have happened/happen.
Nice fantasy. Could be a movie.
Shut up bro, and get your head from out of the clouds.
Love to your comment because I too like to believe that after we die, we finally get to see (like a video, similar to your fantasy) the history of our planet. We're basically in "god mode" and can look back at certain times or events and then observe them firsthand if we want. How amazing would it be to not only find the answer to every question you have, but actually experience it?
Reminds me of movie The Mist
Well it ate the whole town so .....
Dang, that was a good movie ..
2:10 it's basically half the length of the biggest known snake we have today
Current day dragonflies are the most successful hunter, with a catch-rate of 95%. It'd suck if they were huge.
They'd make a great barbecue.
Just imagine giant cockroaches flying around you ☠️ damn it's nightmare ☠️
Funfact: Meganeura didn’t extinct because the oxygen levels dropped but because of a new reptile predator that could fly, therefore Meganeura wasn’t at the top of the food chain anymore when it came to flying animals.
Facts I was there too
Pics or it didn't happen.
For me it would be nightmare if insects will be GIANTS, honestly im little afraid of insects and hate those little guys defienitily wasps because on every summer wasps are coming to my room and I don't like that, one wasp stunged one of our cat and im afraid same will happend to me next, how I can keep wasps away from our home? 🐝
It would be good for me I love insects
Millipedes aren't insects. They're arthropods.
..and they taste like lobster when sauteed in butter
Years ago, ( I mean years), I had mentioned that insects were massive in prehistoric days, I told them its was due to oxygen was much greater. They thought I was nuts. Perhaps they will see your video and realize
0:45: 🦟 During the Carboniferous period, Earth was filled with giant insects, including dragonflies the size of crows and millipedes as long as cars.
3:25: 🐜 High oxygen levels in the atmosphere during a certain period led to giant insects, but it also posed risks due to oxygen toxicity.
6:43: ❄ The formation of the supercontinent Pangea led to changes in ocean currents, wind patterns, and global climate, resulting in lower temperatures and the decline of rainforests and oxygen levels.

So everything was bigger back then...interesting
@@Rctdcttecededtef only because the oxygen was a lot thicker.

Here’s a problem with basic biological / invertebrate classification. Many of the things mentioned aren’t insects.
Giants are definitely real these bugs were small for them 😂
I love how in movies humans can go back in time and actually survive. The parasites alone would kill us. Then there is bacteria and viruses that would kill us.
The forest fires must have been insane. That is where coal comes from. Oil comes from the foliage broken down by bacteria. Oh yeah oil is everywhere, It’s not from dinosaur bones.
It’s truly fascinating learning about the time when England won the World Cup
yeah there really is only a certain maximum size that insects and arthropods can get because of how they breathe essentially. They take in air through their skin, but the square cube law means that since their total volume grows much faster than their surface area (the area of their exoskeleton), their ability to breathe essentially is rapidly outpaced by how much bodymass they need to provide air to. If they got much larger than a person, they just couldn't survive and would be suffocated by their own bodies. But of course it was sea scorpions that really grew into the biggest arthropods ever, millions and millions of years before insects began to dominate the land. Monster like Jaekeloptyrus were so huge they'd probably try to eat you if you ran into one, 2 and a half meters long minus the claws.
But still, to call it the era of giant insects would be a bit misleading, since amphibians and fish were much larger and deadlier than their insect and arthropod counterparts. Fish were absolutely massive, beyond compare with any other animals at the time and there were amphibians like Eryops that would have eaten even Arthropleura for breakfast.
Love what if videos❤❤❤

Millipedes aren't insects. Insect literally means 6 legged.
Yup. Nor are Scorpions (Arachnids).

7:40 frogs are amphibians not reptiles, though I get your point.
More terrifying then dinosaurs
One can imagine the genetic evolutionary trajectory of 1 of these insects,say the mantis would evolve into the top species on earth or on another planet.
What if magic existed
I've gotten oxygen toxicity from putting an aloe vera plant on my computer desk.
When I'd do exercises later my lungs would release so much oxygen that my eyes would sorta black out & I felt an electric shock through my nervous system.
Oxygen can be toxic gas ??
Lmao shut up
It is 1000% NOT the plant. See a doctor.
Go to a doctor there are 11 kinds of plant which looks like aloe vera but they are not and 7 of them are toxic. Throw that thing out.
See a doctor as soon as possible, it's not the plant
i would pass out. For some reason i get so scared if insects are so massive but i dont get scared when its small
i love watching ur videos and right now it’s making me not so focused on my stupid nausea
They always talk about the giant insects, but never the goat trees that they lived in.
Last thing I want to be watching as I lay in bed, is a video about super sized creepy crawlies!
good morning everyone
Hi

Would love to here more pangea.
Sounds like my worst nightmare.
Keep it up
Imagine we all had 2.5 mtr long Millipedes to travel around on instead of cars but we still had that insatiable urge to modify the chuff out of them
Giant mosquitoes anyone?
For some reason when he said ”millipedes as long as…” in my head I was like “don’t say cars, please don’t say cars”
As an entomologist, a giant scorpion would be an awesome pet; so long as its venom isn’t deadly. I’d need one hell of an enclosure to keep it though haha.
Exoskeleton makes insects capable to lift around 50 times their weight. Giant insect could probably lift tonnes?
Nope. Square cube law. Their strength would go down if they got large. I keep Madagascan hissing cockroaches and they can barely lift 4x their weight, so I have to be careful when checking up on them that I don’t crush them with their hide. They have very tough exoskeletons but can’t take heavy weight.
@WizzleTeats69 that means Spiderman is a lie

Whoever told the narrator to speak in that gameshow host affectation should be slapped really hard.
I really hate seeing insect they look gross
Best animals on earth.
Looks like you hate seeing punctuation as well.
What if....you didn't exist
Life's Biggest Questions!!!
Highly recommend to watch it at 1.5x speed. It gets normal, I promise
It's ironic how the largest animal ever known to have existed is alive right now.
Please get it right, most of these creatures are arthropods not insects
Would it be in the same species but subdivision
Not even close, we are talking phylum not species.
So sad some people don’t give God the credit for these amazing creatures.
God didn't create anything
@@anuragloona7971avg immature atheist
More like, so sad ther are so many delusional people who can't except there is no man in the sky and science is real.
Prove your god, then we will give credit. Overall, at god seems pretty lame and useless ...
do you seriously believe in that?
@@fk-fy7um yeah I believe in facts ntg else, atheist logic doesn't even make sense, a little bit of science made them like that, they dont do proper research on science, someone created us, the solar system etc u cant just say it happend all by itself because u "cant see god" u cant see air too, u cant see someone's feelings or love etc doesn't mean they dont exist, for example the planets are revolving around the sun with a proper order and motion, it basically proves someone is controlling it, try to use ur common sense.
So Millipede is As tall As Sultan?
When insects were giant, this was probably as a result of much higher oxygen at that time.
😱 I am surprised of these insects
So, now I know when/where I would time travel back to. Heck yeah, big bugs for the win!!!!
It‘s always the big dragonfly and the Centipede used as examples. Like do we only have 2 types of insects? 😭
Lol if insects would be that big I’d be not screaming for mom if a spider is on my room.
But I’d be that lightning bolt that shoots through the sky
Spiders are not insects.
@@mrmethane10I know.
Insects have 3 body parts and spiders are only having two body parts.
And they are friendlier than wasps in fact.
I need to see a death battle between bugs Vs Dinosaurs Vs modern weaponry in a death battle.
Maybe a dinosaur fossil or an unimaginable creature fossil might be present just beneath my feet.
Good stuff 👍great content
Nice video
In a past life I was a giant insect. Not sure which kind exactly but I know for sure I was a flying insect. I used to swoop down and catch my prey the same way eagles and hawks do today. I was a real badass.
Very nice
Imagine the size of the Chancla 😅
