Daniel Ibbertson not gonna lie. For the longest time i thought you and jr were the same. I only saw your stuff on his channel.. well before i found your channel and then noticed y'all are two different people. Even sound different
CrazyChiv It is a contradicting statement, an oxymoron. It is like that time the FES (Flat Earth Society) said "People all around the globe joined the FES" (or something like this)
Malik Josenius : Of course they're not the same person. They just doctored the records so that it would look they were, so that one would be off the grid at all times. *X-Files theme music*
Ancient Egyptians: we're gonna put these obelisks in specific locations and thanks to them we can accurately measure the curvature of the earth BoB, hundreds of years later: but the equator is at eye level.
I don't even understand his argument. Like...if the Earth was really round the horizon wouldn't be ay eye level? Does he assume the planet's small enough that we'd see it like we're looking out of a fish bowl?
The drone tech with a radio detection skills required would be at least double, if not triple the price right from the get-go. If they wanted to do it 'legit' and get a proper building built in some test site, that'd be billions more. Then again, the fact he knew that he couldn't do a mockup to start with seems to devise the fact he didn't realize that scaling things down wasn't an option to a degree either....
Well.. the original WTC cost about 1.9Bn (in today's money) to build, so.. conservatively, he'd need at least 1Bn to just build the shell and buy the land. Ain't going to happen.
@@pferreira1983 That brings up an even bigger problem, which is that any similar building, even if abandoned, would be in a densely populated area, and I can guarantee there's no city permit for 9/11 The Sequel.
That first guy's kickstarter failed and his life fell apart because Vault Tech does not approve of competition. He better watch out or the Enclave will send out a squad of power armour wearing baddies in a vertibird.
B.o.B. has a net worth of $8 million. Why would he need a fundraiser to send up a drone? Heck, he could take a free elevator ride up any building taller than 100m and see the curve.
morphman86 net worth is a valuation of someone's assets. You can have $8 billion net worth and not have a penny in the bank. Maybe you have expensive tastes in jewellery, cars and properties. Maybe you own many businesses. The problem with net worth is it doesn't take into account how much of you earnings you spend. Say BOB earns 10 million in one year and spends 8 million on shoes and teacups. His net worth would be estimated to be 18 million because he earned 10 million and owns 8 million in assets. You get the idea.
Yup, and then he wants to send a drone up in the sky. A drone costs $500. He then earns $8 million and spend all of that on shoes and jewellery and starts a fundraising campaign to get $1 million to launch the drone. You get the idea?
Robert: B.o.B. is from Georgia, the tallest building there is the Bank of America Plaza, standing at 312m height. He can literally go halfway up, look out a window and see the curvature.
@AngryTechGuy, yeah i was like "Did i hear that right?" Between Bob, and Ibbertson, I weep for the future of science. Apparently Ibbertson has never heard of NDT before this. Though, to be fair, I am pretty sure Bob is the enemy of psychiatrists too.
AngryTechGuy He clearly didn't do any research into the subject of the actual Kickstarters, he just made fun of what he thought was stupid, thereby revealing his own stupidity. The people are not claiming that Tabby's star is an alien megastructure, just that the dimming might be caused by an alien megastructure. But you will not find any scientifically literate person claiming they know for sure. Except that with some further data we have discovered that it is a debris field with large gas clouds, mystery ended.
its a flat earth but wants to send balloons into orbit? they know what orbit is right? its when something circles an object right? usually a round one? shake my head
I blame the internet actually. You can learn a lot of new exciting stuff on it, but that also depends on your attitude on life. Some people are so close minded they only use the internet to validate their own beliefs, and on the internet it's easier to form "support groups" around those beliefs no matter how crazy they are.
Actually, you can construct a convincing argument for pretty much anything if your audience isn't informed on a subject. Go and watch a bunch of flat earth or creationist videos, and you'll see some who are convincing when you take their claims at face value.
You can start a movement over everything. Think the government is faking birth and replacing babies with robots? I bet you can find a movement on the internet. And since i don't have childish insecurities i wont make fun of physical traits like a 13 year old in here
Look, all I’m saying is that if Larry Bundy Jr. and Dan Ibberston aren’t the same person, how come I’ve never seen them in the same room together? Making gentle but passionate love? Hmmm?
Just had to mention, your mid-roll ad placement is the best I've ever seen! Doesn't cut off the audio mid-word, and rarely breaks up items in 2 parts. Bravo and well done!
Yeah but computers can be programmed and stuff so they can say whatever you want so they always lie because humans always lie (Conspiracy theorist logic). There have been plenty of simulations of what would happen in these events and they play out basically as they happened IRL. But to be a conspiracy theorist you need to have a conclusion first and then find evidense that backs up your conclusion while discarding any that discredits it.
@@DragonNexus There's enough random generation algorithms out there to simulate this and it *has* been simulated. But of course, no amount of randomness or scientific rigeur ever satisfies people. There was a dude who set a jetfuel-laiden blowtorch to a steel beam and put it on TH-cam to prove 9/11 truthers wrong, and it still didn't help. I can still hear the echoes of "IT'S A FRIGGIN! NOODLE!" as he bends the melted beam in the back of my mind...
@@twilightparanormalresearch186 Jet fuel burning on steel beams will not only get them to that point but by that point they'd have well and truly passed the "draper point" (the point where any object, no matter what it is has enough radiating energy due to heat being applied to glow in the visible spectrum) on top of everything else that caught fire and the slightest shift (a piece of the building collapsing onto the beam for instance) will be more than enough to cause it to bend/warp well past the point where structural failure is guaranteed. I only have a HS level of knowledge and a bit extra i learnt at home regarding some science things that weren't taught due to them not being considered "needed" in HS learning (go figure that some of the most basic things in basic science weren't taught at my HS!) but i used to do a lot of metalworking when i was in HS so even i know that once metal starts to glow it's VERY easy to bend, shape and destroy.
I pledge that if I ever become a millionaire I will personally charter a space shuttle to take B.O.B. into space and let him see the curvature of the Earth. Can't promise I won't leave him there though.
Yes, space travel is dangerous....Airlock accidents happen, ahem... BTW, you can see the damn curvature of the Earth on an international flight over the Arctic...At 39,000 feet, or so you can see the curve, and it`s pretty cool.
You don't even need a space shuttle. You can start to see the curvature of the earth at around 35,000 feet I think. All you need is a commercial plane. Or a jet if you want to hit the high atmosphere and be on the safe side
The ending to the first Kickstarter is pretty sad actually. I've encountered many KS campaigns that are made by simple people down on their luck on life, just trying to turn a new leaf or making a name for themselves, and they come up with these grand ideas where they want something like KS to help fund it for them.
All I can think of is "do people understand how much stuff cost"? A lot of these are at 1 mil or so, when there ideas and planned projects would cost WAY much more...
I was thinking the same thing. Take the September 11 one: $1.5M (flexible funding!) to buy a commercial airliner and a skyscraper to crash it into. Do they honestly think they can do it for that price? That's not even getting into the many other problems with the plan. They are either scammers or morons.
Yup even with the governments resources you'd need a lot more that $4 million to make a super cool nuclear bunker. (Although I'm not sure what the conversions would be between Current Canadian dollars and 1967 US dollars in terms of purchasing power, I'm guessing it's a lot more) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Construction_of_the_Cheyenne_Mountain_Complex
Here's what the critics are saying about Slope's Game Room: "Well as far as Chinese Guru Larry knockoffs from Poundland go, I suppose Slope's is fairly adequate.", a pair of talking hands who sound suspiciously like Ashens. "Ahhhh! I'm on fire and covered in bees!", Some guy who is on fire and covered in bees.
the 9/11 building was actually designed with airplane crashes in mind. However it was designed for a much smaller plane with far less fuel, the idea was encase there was an accidental crash from a coming in plane.
Makes Sense if your building something that tall it would have a risk of plane crashes from smaller civilian planes and not from airliners. I have never doubted that the planes hitting the towers and the fires from them allowed the towers to fall but there are somethings I am still unsure of
IIf you want a good example of this, look at the time a B-17 crashed into the Empire States building. While it's true WTC was made in more modern times and to be more stable with materials and such, let us also factor in that a B-17 is also a hell of a lot SMALLER than a Boeing 737, which would cause far more havoc. Things changed too much, and noone expected someone to do something like this for obvious reasons.
@@gratuitouslurking8610 It wasn't a B-17, it was a B-25 Mitchell. Much smaller twin-engine bomber. A B-17 might have had a decent chance of bringing the whole building down.
They would have never allowed him to do so. Simply because he would of proved the Earth is not round as they've said. It is not necessarily flat either. Of course people like you will be quick to bash on others with this belief even with the outstanding evidence proving we are being lied to. Just remember, it was only a couple hundred years ago world started teaching about the globe theory. The greatest minds this physical plane has ever seen come forth in existence debunked the globe theory hundreds, even thousands of years ago.
@@brandonconstantine3853 Why would there be a huge lie to cover up the shape of the earth? What does anyone gain from that when the expense would be incredible? Just to make flat earthers look stupid? It makes no sense
@@crystalgoddess4085 The only remotely decent experiment Vault-Tec ever had was the one with the Gary clones, all the other experiments were just screwed up
Where were the people from 911 redux going to find a skyscraper that they could crash a airliner into, that wasn't in a highly or even minimally populated area?
@@JacobHillSBD When the dude in the video went "I want to crash a plane into a building.." I went, "Okay, stop right there. Hindsight tells us that's a bad idea."
Sad thing is that B.O.B. could actually see the curvature of the earth on his own for about $1500. All of those "sending a beer can into space", "sending a Lego man to the edge of space" videos that were popular a few years back did it with high-altitude weather balloons, GPS locators and a little bit more tech gadgets. But it is totally within the realm of an individual to do. They may have to tinker with it to get it high enough, as it requires about 36.5k meters before you can see the curvature (the sky above you has to become black during the day) but people have done it.
He can see it for $0 actually. Well not "see" it but see proof of it. The mere existence of the horizon he's always pointing out proves that the earth is round. He knows he isn't looking at the end of the earth so whatever is beyond the horizon can only curve downward.
zmbdog Oh I know there are literally thousands of experiments you can do basically for free that prove that the earth is round (such as calling someone who lives a few states away from you and asking them to go outside, face directly north and plant a pole into the ground and tell you the time that the shadow falls on, seeing it will be different from your own and necessitating a global earth), but these people always have silly ways to rationalize all of these. They want to see the curvature with their own eyes, like B.O.B. said in his video.
@@zmbdog I read a lot of Discworld books as a kid and tried to work out how vision would work in that place. If you stood on The Hub (the giant mountain in the middle of the Disc) could you see to the edge of the world? I figured you must be able to if the weather was clear enough. I figured that out as a teenager. How a grown-ass man can't understand the basics of high-school level science is really sad.
No, he does not. Flat Earthers don't know anything about orbital mechanics. They think that in order to launch something into space, all you have to do is launch the rocket straight up. They think that when NASA launches rockets and the rockets start to go off to the side, it's signs of a vast conspiracy by NASA to hide the fact that they can't launch a rocket past the "dome".
Not neccessarily so, our best Scientific minds believe this to be the case, but the truth is they do not righly know, because they have not been able to figure out how a flat Earth orbit would work, and given there are so many things that Science cannot reasonably explain this could quite easily be one of them. Personally speaking, I find the whole notion of a flat planet, not neccessarily Earth, to be quite intriguing, but still well within the realms of Science Fiction, not Science fact.
Ok. For those 9/11 truthers, let me lay down some basic architecture. No building meant for people is designed to withstand two plane crashes head on. They will always collapse. Even a nuclear bunker would have issues taking on a giant tin bullet.
Yeah but 9/11 deniers have only ever modelled it with wooden building blocks in their living room. If it doesn't topple over like badly put together duplo it must be because of a conspiracy.
I used to think they were the same guy up until a few days ago. I was shocked to learn I wasn't the only one who thought that when I entered this comment section.
People on social media going "science is a cult" when science gave us technology which in itself ultimately gave us the internet, but we know that if they somehow managed to give up technology to continue preaching their word they'd just end up looking like a cult themselves, if they haven't done that already
Slope, a plane has crashed into a building in the US before, a B-25 Mitchell hit the Empire state building during dense fog but didn't take it down for the simple reason being that a B-25 Mitchell is tiny when compared to a Boeing 767 plane but the damage that the building got from that B-25 was still enough to pretty much cut off access to the top most floors (78, 79 and 80) while repairs were done but the majority of the building was still operational even 2 days after the accident.
Daniel Ibbertson I have always thought u guys were the same. I can’t tell the difference in your voices lol. I started watching ur channel just bc I thought u were him
To be honest... I would be interested in seeing the recreation of the Sep. 11th attack. Might be because I'm a fan of MythBusters and all their experiments, showing the science behind certain things. Sorry if this seems heartless, I don't mean it to be.
A recreation no doubt has been done multiple times, just surely it was done on the small-scale with similar materials and smaller impact by those who were investigating it to start with. The truly ludicrous thing here is he wanted to do it at 1:1 scale, but didn't want to fully commit to it by recreating the WTC proper for the test.
I don't consider you heartless and we could learn a lot from it to help make safer structures. Which as far as I know 9/11 actually sparked being done, in simulations and scaled tests, as has most disasters which contributes to architectural design concepts. Take earthquakes as a example. Japan has built a special lab to test designs.
I'm one of the backers of "Most mysterious star in the galaxy". I didn't think it was aliens. But i'm quite into learning new stuff, and at the time of the campaign, nobody really knew anything about the phenomenon except that it somehow happened. And there were these astronomers who needed some telescope time, which is bloody expensive due to the limited number of instruments used to observe a nearly unlimited number of stars. So i pledged my 25$ and got a nice thank you email. I also backed "Lunar Mission One", because we sent people to walk around the moon, but nobody though of bringing a drill that could dig deeper then a meter or so, and all we got is some boring surface samples.
I don't really mind either way, since he's not my cup of tea. I only hope he does some more diss tracks, like he did with Ricegums. That thing was epic!
Dunno... That's just me not caring enough about him to remember if his name is Ricegum or Ricegums... The latter is the grammatically correct one, so that's the one I picked :P
Honestly, if you had the money to throw away, finding a location to build an exact replica of one of the towers and throwing a plane at it wouldn't be the worst idea. Not just from a conspiracy theory point of view; with proper monitoring equipment we could learn a LOT about ways to reinforce larger structures against major impacts, and ways of protecting the people inside of them in the event of mass structural failure as a result of a disaster (manmade or otherwise).
I would almost bet you money that Flat Earth Bob doesn't believe a word of any of these conspiracy theories, he's just looking for some attention, because his carrier is as **flat** (haha ;-p), as he claims he believes the earth is. (and if that's his goal, it looks like he succeeded ;-p )
4: Wow, that story went from ridiculous to actually heart-breaking. ;( 3: Welp, this guy is a complete nutjob. 2: Huh, this one's actually pretty cool. Hats off to Tabatha! 1: What the actual fuck?! What kind of moron would even think about doing something like this? Good video as always, Dan.
Lets put aside the questionable ethics of the 911 Redux project for a moment. But how can one be so far from reality to think you get a Boeing for 1.5 Million dollars not even talking about modding it to be radio controlled and a structure to crash it into. So this is either a scam from the word go or he is seriously deluded what things cost in this world.
@@JargonMadjin That completely depends on what the scope is. 1.5 mill is a really nice stack of money for a private person but for everything else it's more or less nothing.
Haha yesss! More Kickscammers! I love pausing the beginning to see the extras too. You put so much effort in the little things, it's really appreciated.
To be fair to B.O.B. there are some people who behave cultishly (I know it's not a word) about science. Well, technically you can say the same about anything.
Just gotta say, the choice of that particular version of Terra's theme for the introduction of the 9/11 portion was very well done. Top notch work as always man.
Setting aside EVERYTHING else, there was no way they could even practically re-create the event. Way too many variables. Also you could not build a structure remotely resembling the World Trade Center on a lousy million bucks.
"So uh... what's this mangled piece of steel?" "Oh that's my chunk of a building used in a recreation of the horrible twin tower attack that was done to help find out what really happened!" "Huh..... riiiiight....*clears throat* cool."
Saw your comment after I posted mine. I wonder if that kind of software exists today, one that could take so so soooo many factors into account. And yes, even then, it would be kind of weird to watch it...
Yeah, it's a dumb project for sure. What would it tell you that you didn't already think from the actual attack? It's just a fancy way of wasting money. They can't afford a skyscraper, the land to build it on away from civilization and a 747 with 1.5 mil. Although, it is kind of weird how there was two towers, and the two planes hit the towers with incredible accuracy, and how they knew the twin towers relied on it's sides for support.
I think scientists should recreate it in a simulator for research purposes. We'll never learn if we're too sensitive to analyze such an important event. However, that doesn't change the fact that trying to recreate it IRL is probably not the way to go without a multi-billion dollar budget. There are just too many factors to recreate. You would have to add all manner of surveillance equipment everywhere you could to get the most information out of such a test, you wouldn't get a second shot, and you'd have to pay a lot for the clean up once you're done. It just wouldn't be feasible.
4:24 ah yes, that is what "technology" looks like; an empty room... and I love how "beauty care" is just a room with a spiral stairway... very innovative
If you have ever seen photos passed around by contrail conspiracists featuring a plane interior filled with many rows of shiny beer-keg sized tanks, this is actually one of the ways they safety test new plane prototypes for passenger loading without having to have actual passengers in them. They can even simulate passengers moving around the cabin during flight by pumping water around between different tanks (which is why they use lots of little tanks ranked in seating positions, rather than a couple of big tanks as would make more sense for storing mind-control chemicals).
Great vid! One problem... Neil deGrasse Tyson isn't a psychiatrist. He's an astrophysicist. Might wanna, you know. Splice that in. But a great video, as always!
There are three TH-cam channels for which I get super stoked when they release a new video, and yours is one of them. (Larry Bundy Jr. is another, and Outside Xbox is the third, in case you were wondering.) Thanks, Dan!
The alien megastructure they are talking about is a Dyson Sphere--which it looked like we might have been watching a Dyson Sphere being constructed. Which means it is still a star... just a star with an impressive artificial structure being built around it. Which, even without going into "conspiracy theory" nonsense... would be an impressive find. Right up there with if SETI were to find a message in the stars, or if the Gravity Wave detectors noticed some saw tooth gravity waves.
You do realise that SETI is not 100% fool proof of a system to detect alien life? That SETI is actually a fairly limited way to detect unnatural space noise--and mostly exists because we don't have any actually really good ways to try to detect that stuff? Essentially, it is a crappy solution that mostly gets done because we don't have a proper solution.
BenoHourglass: SETI could not detect Earth if it was on Alpha Centuri. SETI is trying to detect a small set of possible communication that are not even in common use on Earth. SETI not being able to detect anything means nothing more than "SETI was not able to detect anything" I really dislike it when people keep expecting various tools to do far more than what they are inherently capable of doing. Or attempting to try to use things as scientific proof, without really understanding they've completely fucked up their understanding of shit. It is on par with claiming computers do not work and are a fiction because you've not plugged your computer into a proper power source "See! I plugged my laptop into a potato, and it is not booting up! Proof that laptops are a lie, and part of Big Sand Corporation trying to scam us!" Before you can use something to disprove stuff--or even really try to bring up anything as proof... you actually have to understand how that shit works. This is why the world is so stupid... people act like "having to actually study and get to know the material before you bring it up and discuss it" is a form of Gate Keeper Fallacy.
And again... the reason why something as ridiculously flawed, limited and frankly useless as SETI is in current use is because we really have nothing better for an answer or solution.
Alien Megastructure is referring to a Dyson sphere, a purely hypothetical manner of harnessing energy from a star. It's actually really interesting, check it out.
I used to be a 9/11 truther. I was an insane kid. I still believe, that, you know there was a bit more going on with the a lot of the events... You know the idea the government had an idea that something WAS going to happen. I just go meh now. I also still consider myself something of a conspiracy theorist. In other words, I question things. JFK, MLK, Lennon, that sort of thing. But these type of people. Dear fuck. I lose a bit of hope in humanity everytime I hear the moon landing was a hoax. My simple question then becomes, given the space race, wouldnt Russia stop and go "Hey guys... Dont think this happened... Lets screw it go to the moon and embarass the US?" And yes, there are a handful of people that in effect control the US. They are called lobbyists working for corporations like Pfizer pr Haliburton or Mansanto. Speaking of Mansanto, yes there are bad GMOs.. Terminator seeds are really terrible. But, corn is a GMO, and having a giant apple or tomato... I dont know... Seems like a good thing. Yes, skepticism is an amazing thing. Being able to question and think is a wonderful human attribute. Howwever, not one person can know everything. Hell, collectively we can know only very little. Thats why peer reviewed science is so important and understanding that process should be one of the most mandatory elements taught in schools. Sigh. Some people are just easily fooldd or think that having some extraordinary problem is better then having a solvable one so they dont have to put forth effort? I really dont know.
Man-- I hate it when these things decide to include things that the writer of the script is an obvious ignoramus about and just screw the whole damn thing up. The thing with Tabby's star being a "mega structure" would not mean that it was not a star-- only that there are a ton of, what would probably be best called "satellites" orbiting the star (by definition, satellites orbit planets, so they wouldn't technically be satellites, but you should get the picture) and gathering a larger amount of the energy the star would put out than a single planet by itself could. And scientists have theorized for a while that any intelligent life capable of space travel would build a "mega structure" exactly in that way and that we ourselves will start making one within the next 100 years. Thus, if we were looking at a star with a planet that hosted intelligent, we would see exactly what we see when looking at Tabby's star. And, yes, it is almost certain that instead the star is surrounded by an extraordinarily abnormal large number of comets instead, particularly as the star is both younger and dimmer than one we would expect alien life to arise on anyway. But since it is exactly what we are looking for on the search for alien life, it isn't crazy or "conspiracy theory" to put some money into double-checking and seeing if we can gather any more evidence to verify what exactly is orbiting the star and causing the light to be blocked in such a weird way..
Just one problem: You can't build a Dyson Sphere around the Sun without bringing in material from outside the solar system, and if we become advanced enough in the next 100 years to drag extra-solar planets here, why bother with the extra steps of destroying and refining them instead of simply bringing habitable worlds here to live on directly?
You fundamentally misunderstand what a Dyson Sphere actually is. The version in Star Trek: TNG is not accurate at all. You don't need to bring in material from the outside to get a decently functioning one. You just use the asteroids and comets-- flatten them out to create energy gathering mirrors and make as many as you like. It isn't like you need to gather 100% of the stars energy or may as well be gathering 0%. Every bit you can catch helps-- at least so long as what you gather exceeds the energy expended to make that particular part of the grid.
You're not talking about a Dyson Sphere, then. However, there's still the issue of how one would flatten asteroids into mirrors. If we become so advanced in the next 100 years that we can manipulate matter in order to transform rock into a perfectly reflective surface, we likely wouldn't have a need to create a Dyson Sphere since we could simply manufacture anything we like from the raw materials we have.
The original proposal of a "Dyson Sphere" was what you might call now a Dyson Swarm. As for transforming rock into reflective surfaces-- humans have been doing that since the bronze age. In fact, whether you are typing this on a computer or a smart phone, the device in front of you is primarily made "from rock". Again, you seem to be hooked on this idea that one should either do the most extreme possibly imaginable thing... or not bother to do anything at all. That kind of defeatist, nihilistic attitude will get you no where. Guess what, you aren't going to be the most rich or successful or famous person who has ever lived on Earth-- but it seems you haven't killed yourself yet, so why can't you apply this "good enough" and "better than nothing" mentality to other things? Look back to how humans were living in 1918 and I think if you are honest with yourself, if you described any of how we live today to people back then-- they would think you were telling fantastical lies. Satellite TV is impossible. 3D movies with surround sound is impossible. People visiting the moon is pure Jules Verne fantasy, and even he wasn't mad enough to claim that we would be able to cause machines to orbit the earth or send robots to Mars and even more distant planets to take photographs and somehow get the back to Earth. The internet? A system that connects devices all around the world and lets you instantly communicate with anyone in the world or contains more text than has ever been written prior to 1918? What mushrooms did you eat and where can I get some? You claim that one can have a handheld device not physically connected with anything that can retain power for 12 hours and make phone calls, pull information from anywhere in the world and show videos longer and superior quality than 1918 cinema? You have clearly lost your god damn mind and have no sense of grasp on reality. Seriously, man, THINK. Compared to the advances of the last 100 years, it really isn't unfeasible at all to get a solar power station in space that orbits the sun. We can then use it as an asteroid mining station and method for getting ships to an from earth and the rest of the solar system.
TheHobgoblyn I do believe you're simply a buffoon, but I'll counter your arguments in the hope that your idiocy will not infect the ignorant. First, the original proposal was not for what anyone might call a "Dyson Swarm," a term you took straight from Wikipedia. The original proposal, which you have certainly never read, talked about the Sun being entirely encompassed by a hollow ball. Second, humans have not been turning rocks into reflective materials since the Bronze Age. True, humans have been refining specific rocks composed of specific materials into reflective surfaces likely since the Stone Age, but to claim that one can create a mirror from any piece of rock, irrespective of the composition of said rock, is absurd. Next, you're the one who claimed that we would begin construction of a Dyson Sphere, or some other kind of megastructure, within the next 100 years. While I'm glad you now recognize this claim as extremely absurd, please do not try to pretend I was the one who brought up such an absurdity when you were just talking about placing a simple solar-powered satellite in space. Finally, while people in the past might have believed the internet an impossibility, they did share your belief that one cab transform mundane stone into gold. They called this alchemy, and you should learn from their mistakes and accept that it's not real.
The alien megatructure theory with the star was that they were building a "Dyson Sphere" around the star. The theory is that as a society gets more and more advanced they consume more and more energy so a society would get to a point that they would need to harness ALL of the energy that's being emitted by the star by building a "Dyson Sphere", which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like, a sphere around a star that collects all the energy. Not that the star itself was an alien megastructure, but that the sphere was blocking out the light from the star... turns out it was just a bit of gas but fuck it, "star farts" doesnt sound quite as catchy as "oh em gee aliens!"
Never know it still might be a type 3 civilization floating around it! And to be honest that have no idea really! We barely know our solar system yet they have cracked what's going on around KIC 8462852?
For me as a member of the GWUP (Gesellschaft zur wissenschaftlichen Untersuchung von Parawissenschaften), the german sister society of the "Committee for Skeptical Inquiry" this clip was a lot of fun and grieve
the trouble with "tabbys star behaves totally unlike other f type stars", is tabbys star is in the proximity of cygnus x1 a huge stellar mass black hole binary, the fluctuations seen may be nothing more than interactions between tabbys and cygnus x1.
Every time someone starts to talk about a mysterious star, comet, or the sort in space near Earth I get instant chills and remember the terror that was "Hell star Remina" ooh boi.
My Biggest question about 911-2 Electric Boogaloo is: where the hell are they going to find a skyscraper that they can just casually demolish? Assuming they aren't going to build there own in the middle of nowhere, there's no company on earth that would let such a major structure be destroyed for zero gains, and no city that would be willing to evacuate such a massive area for the sake of such an irresponsibly dangerous experiment. Even if they had the plane completely funded, the amount of lost resources and man-hours would be ludicrously expensive to cover; not to mention the absurd amount of risk to the surrounding area.
I have so many questions about that one backer that donated one dollar. Who are they? What do you think they're up to right now? What do you think they had for breakfast? My money is on a can of Heinz Baked Beans.

Ancient Egyptians: we're gonna put these obelisks in specific locations and thanks to them we can accurately measure the curvature of the earth
BoB, hundreds of years later: but the equator is at eye level.
Ri Dragon The Egyptians likely didn’t build the obelisks for that reasons. The Greeks just used them for that purpose.
It was the Greeks who measured the diameter, not the Egyptians
I don't even understand his argument. Like...if the Earth was really round the horizon wouldn't be ay eye level? Does he assume the planet's small enough that we'd see it like we're looking out of a fish bowl?
DragonNexus yes they are actually that dumb
I don't know what's more bizarre about that 9/11 pitch, the fact that he wanted to do it or the fact that he thought he could do it for $1.5M
$24M just for the plane back in 1972 lol, maybe get a used modern one for $100M.
The drone tech with a radio detection skills required would be at least double, if not triple the price right from the get-go. If they wanted to do it 'legit' and get a proper building built in some test site, that'd be billions more. Then again, the fact he knew that he couldn't do a mockup to start with seems to devise the fact he didn't realize that scaling things down wasn't an option to a degree either....
Well.. the original WTC cost about 1.9Bn (in today's money) to build, so.. conservatively, he'd need at least 1Bn to just build the shell and buy the land. Ain't going to happen.
@@almostideal1306 It was said he wasn't going to build it but find a similar structure. Not sure where though.
@@pferreira1983 That brings up an even bigger problem, which is that any similar building, even if abandoned, would be in a densely populated area, and I can guarantee there's no city permit for 9/11 The Sequel.

B.o.B. has a net worth of $8 million. Why would he need a fundraiser to send up a drone? Heck, he could take a free elevator ride up any building taller than 100m and see the curve.
morphman86 net worth is a valuation of someone's assets.
You can have $8 billion net worth and not have a penny in the bank. Maybe you have expensive tastes in jewellery, cars and properties. Maybe you own many businesses.
The problem with net worth is it doesn't take into account how much of you earnings you spend. Say BOB earns 10 million in one year and spends 8 million on shoes and teacups. His net worth would be estimated to be 18 million because he earned 10 million and owns 8 million in assets. You get the idea.
Yup, and then he wants to send a drone up in the sky. A drone costs $500. He then earns $8 million and spend all of that on shoes and jewellery and starts a fundraising campaign to get $1 million to launch the drone. You get the idea?
Yeah, there are a lot of people who get a lot of money but are dumb when it comes to handling money.
you can really do that do they have building that tall
Robert: B.o.B. is from Georgia, the tallest building there is the Bank of America Plaza, standing at 312m height. He can literally go halfway up, look out a window and see the curvature.
(lol) Close. Neil DeGrasse Tyson is a Astrophysicist. Not a psychiatrist. But I get what you were trying to say.

@AngryTechGuy, yeah i was like "Did i hear that right?" Between Bob, and Ibbertson, I weep for the future of science. Apparently Ibbertson has never heard of NDT before this.
Though, to be fair, I am pretty sure Bob is the enemy of psychiatrists too.
Psychiatrist to the stars.
This conversation is everything.
AngryTechGuy He clearly didn't do any research into the subject of the actual Kickstarters, he just made fun of what he thought was stupid, thereby revealing his own stupidity. The people are not claiming that Tabby's star is an alien megastructure, just that the dimming might be caused by an alien megastructure. But you will not find any scientifically literate person claiming they know for sure. Except that with some further data we have discovered that it is a debris field with large gas clouds, mystery ended.
its a flat earth but wants to send balloons into orbit? they know what orbit is right? its when something circles an object right? usually a round one? shake my head
Lazlow Branson why can't you orbit a flat object tho
Logan R both use the concept of gravity, on a flat surface you would hit the ground.
I just really don’t understand how anyone can think the world is flat in this day and age??? Like why? 😬
Yeah. It is pretty crazy
I blame the internet actually. You can learn a lot of new exciting stuff on it, but that also depends on your attitude on life. Some people are so close minded they only use the internet to validate their own beliefs, and on the internet it's easier to form "support groups" around those beliefs no matter how crazy they are.
How can people think pink eyes and piercings all over their face look good, it's 2018 after all?
Actually, you can construct a convincing argument for pretty much anything if your audience isn't informed on a subject. Go and watch a bunch of flat earth or creationist videos, and you'll see some who are convincing when you take their claims at face value.
You can start a movement over everything. Think the government is faking birth and replacing babies with robots? I bet you can find a movement on the internet. And since i don't have childish insecurities i wont make fun of physical traits like a 13 year old in here
Look, all I’m saying is that if Larry Bundy Jr. and Dan Ibberston aren’t the same person, how come I’ve never seen them in the same room together? Making gentle but passionate love? Hmmm?
Just had to mention, your mid-roll ad placement is the best I've ever seen! Doesn't cut off the audio mid-word, and rarely breaks up items in 2 parts. Bravo and well done!
Couldn't a computer simulation work very well and be less expensive when attempting to recreate 9/11?
Yeah but computers can be programmed and stuff so they can say whatever you want so they always lie because humans always lie (Conspiracy theorist logic).
There have been plenty of simulations of what would happen in these events and they play out basically as they happened IRL. But to be a conspiracy theorist you need to have a conclusion first and then find evidense that backs up your conclusion while discarding any that discredits it.
@@DragonNexus There's enough random generation algorithms out there to simulate this and it *has* been simulated. But of course, no amount of randomness or scientific rigeur ever satisfies people. There was a dude who set a jetfuel-laiden blowtorch to a steel beam and put it on TH-cam to prove 9/11 truthers wrong, and it still didn't help. I can still hear the echoes of "IT'S A FRIGGIN! NOODLE!" as he bends the melted beam in the back of my mind...
People do realize that steel getting hot makes it weak right?
Alien_Ghost_Gaming 909 you give 9/11 truthers a bit too much credit
@@twilightparanormalresearch186 Jet fuel burning on steel beams will not only get them to that point but by that point they'd have well and truly passed the "draper point" (the point where any object, no matter what it is has enough radiating energy due to heat being applied to glow in the visible spectrum) on top of everything else that caught fire and the slightest shift (a piece of the building collapsing onto the beam for instance) will be more than enough to cause it to bend/warp well past the point where structural failure is guaranteed.
I only have a HS level of knowledge and a bit extra i learnt at home regarding some science things that weren't taught due to them not being considered "needed" in HS learning (go figure that some of the most basic things in basic science weren't taught at my HS!) but i used to do a lot of metalworking when i was in HS so even i know that once metal starts to glow it's VERY easy to bend, shape and destroy.
I pledge that if I ever become a millionaire I will personally charter a space shuttle to take B.O.B. into space and let him see the curvature of the Earth. Can't promise I won't leave him there though.
Mellow Gaming I would like to tag along just to see the look on his face.
I'm sure there will be spare seats. Just don't sit on the seat near the airlock. That's reserved for B.O.B.
Yes, space travel is dangerous....Airlock accidents happen, ahem... BTW, you can see the damn curvature of the Earth on an international flight over the Arctic...At 39,000 feet, or so you can see the curve, and it`s pretty cool.
Too bad, he's easy on the eyes, but all I can see is, to paraphrase Bill Maher, his head full of corn flakes.
You don't even need a space shuttle. You can start to see the curvature of the earth at around 35,000 feet I think. All you need is a commercial plane. Or a jet if you want to hit the high atmosphere and be on the safe side
The ending to the first Kickstarter is pretty sad actually. I've encountered many KS campaigns that are made by simple people down on their luck on life, just trying to turn a new leaf or making a name for themselves, and they come up with these grand ideas where they want something like KS to help fund it for them.
All I can think of is "do people understand how much stuff cost"? A lot of these are at 1 mil or so, when there ideas and planned projects would cost WAY much more...
I was thinking the same thing. Take the September 11 one: $1.5M (flexible funding!) to buy a commercial airliner and a skyscraper to crash it into. Do they honestly think they can do it for that price? That's not even getting into the many other problems with the plan. They are either scammers or morons.
Yup even with the governments resources you'd need a lot more that $4 million to make a super cool nuclear bunker. (Although I'm not sure what the conversions would be between Current Canadian dollars and 1967 US dollars in terms of purchasing power, I'm guessing it's a lot more)

Here's what the critics are saying about Slope's Game Room: "Well as far as Chinese Guru Larry knockoffs from Poundland go, I suppose Slope's is fairly adequate.", a pair of talking hands who sound suspiciously like Ashens. "Ahhhh! I'm on fire and covered in bees!", Some guy who is on fire and covered in bees.
the 9/11 building was actually designed with airplane crashes in mind. However it was designed for a much smaller plane with far less fuel, the idea was encase there was an accidental crash from a coming in plane.
AJSSPACEPLACE huh, neat.
Makes Sense if your building something that tall it would have a risk of plane crashes from smaller civilian planes and not from airliners. I have never doubted that the planes hitting the towers and the fires from them allowed the towers to fall but there are somethings I am still unsure of
IIf you want a good example of this, look at the time a B-17 crashed into the Empire States building. While it's true WTC was made in more modern times and to be more stable with materials and such, let us also factor in that a B-17 is also a hell of a lot SMALLER than a Boeing 737, which would cause far more havoc. Things changed too much, and noone expected someone to do something like this for obvious reasons.
@@gratuitouslurking8610
It wasn't a B-17, it was a B-25 Mitchell. Much smaller twin-engine bomber. A B-17 might have had a decent chance of bringing the whole building down.

They would have never allowed him to do so. Simply because he would of proved the Earth is not round as they've said. It is not necessarily flat either. Of course people like you will be quick to bash on others with this belief even with the outstanding evidence proving we are being lied to. Just remember, it was only a couple hundred years ago world started teaching about the globe theory. The greatest minds this physical plane has ever seen come forth in existence debunked the globe theory hundreds, even thousands of years ago.

Sad thing is that B.O.B. could actually see the curvature of the earth on his own for about $1500. All of those "sending a beer can into space", "sending a Lego man to the edge of space" videos that were popular a few years back did it with high-altitude weather balloons, GPS locators and a little bit more tech gadgets. But it is totally within the realm of an individual to do. They may have to tinker with it to get it high enough, as it requires about 36.5k meters before you can see the curvature (the sky above you has to become black during the day) but people have done it.
He can see it for $0 actually. Well not "see" it but see proof of it. The mere existence of the horizon he's always pointing out proves that the earth is round. He knows he isn't looking at the end of the earth so whatever is beyond the horizon can only curve downward.
zmbdog Oh I know there are literally thousands of experiments you can do basically for free that prove that the earth is round (such as calling someone who lives a few states away from you and asking them to go outside, face directly north and plant a pole into the ground and tell you the time that the shadow falls on, seeing it will be different from your own and necessitating a global earth), but these people always have silly ways to rationalize all of these. They want to see the curvature with their own eyes, like B.O.B. said in his video.
@@zmbdog I read a lot of Discworld books as a kid and tried to work out how vision would work in that place. If you stood on The Hub (the giant mountain in the middle of the Disc) could you see to the edge of the world? I figured you must be able to if the weather was clear enough.
I figured that out as a teenager. How a grown-ass man can't understand the basics of high-school level science is really sad.
Bob does realise that for something to orbit the object being orbited needs to be round, right?
No, he does not. Flat Earthers don't know anything about orbital mechanics. They think that in order to launch something into space, all you have to do is launch the rocket straight up. They think that when NASA launches rockets and the rockets start to go off to the side, it's signs of a vast conspiracy by NASA to hide the fact that they can't launch a rocket past the "dome".
Not neccessarily so, our best Scientific minds believe this to be the case, but the truth is they do not righly know, because they have not been able to figure out how a flat Earth orbit would work, and given there are so many things that Science cannot reasonably explain this could quite easily be one of them. Personally speaking, I find the whole notion of a flat planet, not neccessarily Earth, to be quite intriguing, but still well within the realms of Science Fiction, not Science fact.
@@garryabbott3474 Imagine walking off the edge of a planet just to see what happens to you, lol
Yeah Bob not smart
Ok. For those 9/11 truthers, let me lay down some basic architecture. No building meant for people is designed to withstand two plane crashes head on. They will always collapse. Even a nuclear bunker would have issues taking on a giant tin bullet.
Yes the buildings would collapse, no doubt there. It is the manner in which they collapsed that raises a lot of questions.....
Yeah but 9/11 deniers have only ever modelled it with wooden building blocks in their living room. If it doesn't topple over like badly put together duplo it must be because of a conspiracy.
Protagnis YT Check out some of Christopher Bollyns work on 9/11, there's more to it than just the event itself.
Stephen O'Brien
No, there is not. It was terrorists slamming a plane into each tower.
Jason Mimiaga exactly lmao bin laden admit to it and was so proud of it he mentioned it in multiple al jazzera vids
DJ Slope and Larry Bundy Jr. *ARE* the same person. Is not a conspiracy, it's a _fact_
.....sure......... lol lol lol
I used to think they were the same guy up until a few days ago. I was shocked to learn I wasn't the only one who thought that when I entered this comment section.
Science = cult. Well good thing that "cult" made audio equipment or you wouldn't have your music career.
People on social media going "science is a cult" when science gave us technology which in itself ultimately gave us the internet, but we know that if they somehow managed to give up technology to continue preaching their word they'd just end up looking like a cult themselves, if they haven't done that already
Slope, a plane has crashed into a building in the US before, a B-25 Mitchell hit the Empire state building during dense fog but didn't take it down for the simple reason being that a B-25 Mitchell is tiny when compared to a Boeing 767 plane but the damage that the building got from that B-25 was still enough to pretty much cut off access to the top most floors (78, 79 and 80) while repairs were done but the majority of the building was still operational even 2 days after the accident.

To be honest... I would be interested in seeing the recreation of the Sep. 11th attack.
Might be because I'm a fan of MythBusters and all their experiments, showing the science behind certain things.
Sorry if this seems heartless, I don't mean it to be.
Slye_Fox actually theres people who recreate that in yt
A recreation no doubt has been done multiple times, just surely it was done on the small-scale with similar materials and smaller impact by those who were investigating it to start with. The truly ludicrous thing here is he wanted to do it at 1:1 scale, but didn't want to fully commit to it by recreating the WTC proper for the test.
I don't consider you heartless and we could learn a lot from it to help make safer structures. Which as far as I know 9/11 actually sparked being done, in simulations and scaled tests, as has most disasters which contributes to architectural design concepts. Take earthquakes as a example. Japan has built a special lab to test designs.

*[Clubbed to Death plays in the background]*
Okay I have a question for you what is your from?
"Because this guy wants to recreate 9\11" is one of the most horrifying things I've ever heard in a Kickscammers Video.
I'm one of the backers of "Most mysterious star in the galaxy". I didn't think it was aliens. But i'm quite into learning new stuff, and at the time of the campaign, nobody really knew anything about the phenomenon except that it somehow happened. And there were these astronomers who needed some telescope time, which is bloody expensive due to the limited number of instruments used to observe a nearly unlimited number of stars. So i pledged my 25$ and got a nice thank you email. I also backed "Lunar Mission One", because we sent people to walk around the moon, but nobody though of bringing a drill that could dig deeper then a meter or so, and all we got is some boring surface samples.
How many of those 229 people donated $1 as a drive-by laugh?
I hope idubbbz brings back kickstarter crap
Me too
I don't really mind either way, since he's not my cup of tea. I only hope he does some more diss tracks, like he did with Ricegums. That thing was epic!
LOL why does that extra misplaced "s" make it sound so racist...
Dunno... That's just me not caring enough about him to remember if his name is Ricegum or Ricegums... The latter is the grammatically correct one, so that's the one I picked :P
Of course. I'm very disappointed with myself for knowing who he is. I quite like the idea of him just being a walking hate crime :P
Honestly, if you had the money to throw away, finding a location to build an exact replica of one of the towers and throwing a plane at it wouldn't be the worst idea. Not just from a conspiracy theory point of view; with proper monitoring equipment we could learn a LOT about ways to reinforce larger structures against major impacts, and ways of protecting the people inside of them in the event of mass structural failure as a result of a disaster (manmade or otherwise).
I would almost bet you money that Flat Earth Bob doesn't believe a word of any of these conspiracy theories, he's just looking for some attention, because his carrier is as **flat** (haha ;-p), as he claims he believes the earth is. (and if that's his goal, it looks like he succeeded ;-p )

Yeah, it's a dumb project for sure. What would it tell you that you didn't already think from the actual attack?
It's just a fancy way of wasting money. They can't afford a skyscraper, the land to build it on away from civilization and a 747 with 1.5 mil.
Although, it is kind of weird how there was two towers, and the two planes hit the towers with incredible accuracy, and how they knew the twin towers relied on it's sides for support.
I think scientists should recreate it in a simulator for research purposes. We'll never learn if we're too sensitive to analyze such an important event.
However, that doesn't change the fact that trying to recreate it IRL is probably not the way to go without a multi-billion dollar budget. There are just too many factors to recreate. You would have to add all manner of surveillance equipment everywhere you could to get the most information out of such a test, you wouldn't get a second shot, and you'd have to pay a lot for the clean up once you're done. It just wouldn't be feasible.
They did computer simulate the impacts in the official investigation.

4:24 ah yes, that is what "technology" looks like; an empty room... and I love how "beauty care" is just a room with a spiral stairway... very innovative
wait are slopes and Larry Buddy not the same person
Lol.............yes....er....they are.....lol
If you have ever seen photos passed around by contrail conspiracists featuring a plane interior filled with many rows of shiny beer-keg sized tanks, this is actually one of the ways they safety test new plane prototypes for passenger loading without having to have actual passengers in them. They can even simulate passengers moving around the cabin during flight by pumping water around between different tanks (which is why they use lots of little tanks ranked in seating positions, rather than a couple of big tanks as would make more sense for storing mind-control chemicals).
Great vid! One problem... Neil deGrasse Tyson isn't a psychiatrist. He's an astrophysicist. Might wanna, you know. Splice that in. But a great video, as always!
There are three TH-cam channels for which I get super stoked when they release a new video, and yours is one of them. (Larry Bundy Jr. is another, and Outside Xbox is the third, in case you were wondering.) Thanks, Dan!
What would I do if the world ended? Die I guess...how could there be any other possible answer?
Pretty straightforward yeah
"How Slopes Game Room and Larry Bundy Jr are the same person"
But it's true!
The alien megastructure they are talking about is a Dyson Sphere--which it looked like we might have been watching a Dyson Sphere being constructed. Which means it is still a star... just a star with an impressive artificial structure being built around it.
Which, even without going into "conspiracy theory" nonsense... would be an impressive find. Right up there with if SETI were to find a message in the stars, or if the Gravity Wave detectors noticed some saw tooth gravity waves.
We didn't hear anything when SETI pointed its listening arrays toward the star, so unfortunately it's not aliens.
You do realise that SETI is not 100% fool proof of a system to detect alien life? That SETI is actually a fairly limited way to detect unnatural space noise--and mostly exists because we don't have any actually really good ways to try to detect that stuff?
Essentially, it is a crappy solution that mostly gets done because we don't have a proper solution.
Katrina Payne, It's not 100% fool proof, no. It would, however, detect alien signals from a civilization building a Dyson Swarm.
BenoHourglass: SETI could not detect Earth if it was on Alpha Centuri. SETI is trying to detect a small set of possible communication that are not even in common use on Earth.
SETI not being able to detect anything means nothing more than "SETI was not able to detect anything"
I really dislike it when people keep expecting various tools to do far more than what they are inherently capable of doing. Or attempting to try to use things as scientific proof, without really understanding they've completely fucked up their understanding of shit. It is on par with claiming computers do not work and are a fiction because you've not plugged your computer into a proper power source "See! I plugged my laptop into a potato, and it is not booting up! Proof that laptops are a lie, and part of Big Sand Corporation trying to scam us!"
Before you can use something to disprove stuff--or even really try to bring up anything as proof... you actually have to understand how that shit works.
This is why the world is so stupid... people act like "having to actually study and get to know the material before you bring it up and discuss it" is a form of Gate Keeper Fallacy.
And again... the reason why something as ridiculously flawed, limited and frankly useless as SETI is in current use is because we really have nothing better for an answer or solution.
Alien Megastructure is referring to a Dyson sphere, a purely hypothetical manner of harnessing energy from a star. It's actually really interesting, check it out.
I don't think Niel D is a psychologist.
He's not......he's an astrophysicist.
I mean, he'd probably be more help to the dude if he was...
yeah, I could see that.

Astropsychology more like it.

I used to be a 9/11 truther. I was an insane kid. I still believe, that, you know there was a bit more going on with the a lot of the events... You know the idea the government had an idea that something WAS going to happen. I just go meh now. I also still consider myself something of a conspiracy theorist. In other words, I question things. JFK, MLK, Lennon, that sort of thing.
But these type of people. Dear fuck. I lose a bit of hope in humanity everytime I hear the moon landing was a hoax. My simple question then becomes, given the space race, wouldnt Russia stop and go "Hey guys... Dont think this happened... Lets screw it go to the moon and embarass the US?"
And yes, there are a handful of people that in effect control the US. They are called lobbyists working for corporations like Pfizer pr Haliburton or Mansanto.
Speaking of Mansanto, yes there are bad GMOs.. Terminator seeds are really terrible. But, corn is a GMO, and having a giant apple or tomato... I dont know... Seems like a good thing.
Yes, skepticism is an amazing thing. Being able to question and think is a wonderful human attribute. Howwever, not one person can know everything. Hell, collectively we can know only very little. Thats why peer reviewed science is so important and understanding that process should be one of the most mandatory elements taught in schools. Sigh. Some people are just easily fooldd or think that having some extraordinary problem is better then having a solvable one so they dont have to put forth effort? I really dont know.
That last one really pissed me off. Glad they had the sense to stop it.
Man-- I hate it when these things decide to include things that the writer of the script is an obvious ignoramus about and just screw the whole damn thing up.
The thing with Tabby's star being a "mega structure" would not mean that it was not a star-- only that there are a ton of, what would probably be best called "satellites" orbiting the star (by definition, satellites orbit planets, so they wouldn't technically be satellites, but you should get the picture) and gathering a larger amount of the energy the star would put out than a single planet by itself could.
And scientists have theorized for a while that any intelligent life capable of space travel would build a "mega structure" exactly in that way and that we ourselves will start making one within the next 100 years. Thus, if we were looking at a star with a planet that hosted intelligent, we would see exactly what we see when looking at Tabby's star.
And, yes, it is almost certain that instead the star is surrounded by an extraordinarily abnormal large number of comets instead, particularly as the star is both younger and dimmer than one we would expect alien life to arise on anyway. But since it is exactly what we are looking for on the search for alien life, it isn't crazy or "conspiracy theory" to put some money into double-checking and seeing if we can gather any more evidence to verify what exactly is orbiting the star and causing the light to be blocked in such a weird way..
Just one problem: You can't build a Dyson Sphere around the Sun without bringing in material from outside the solar system, and if we become advanced enough in the next 100 years to drag extra-solar planets here, why bother with the extra steps of destroying and refining them instead of simply bringing habitable worlds here to live on directly?
You fundamentally misunderstand what a Dyson Sphere actually is. The version in Star Trek: TNG is not accurate at all. You don't need to bring in material from the outside to get a decently functioning one. You just use the asteroids and comets-- flatten them out to create energy gathering mirrors and make as many as you like.
It isn't like you need to gather 100% of the stars energy or may as well be gathering 0%. Every bit you can catch helps-- at least so long as what you gather exceeds the energy expended to make that particular part of the grid.
You're not talking about a Dyson Sphere, then. However, there's still the issue of how one would flatten asteroids into mirrors. If we become so advanced in the next 100 years that we can manipulate matter in order to transform rock into a perfectly reflective surface, we likely wouldn't have a need to create a Dyson Sphere since we could simply manufacture anything we like from the raw materials we have.
The original proposal of a "Dyson Sphere" was what you might call now a Dyson Swarm.
As for transforming rock into reflective surfaces-- humans have been doing that since the bronze age. In fact, whether you are typing this on a computer or a smart phone, the device in front of you is primarily made "from rock".
Again, you seem to be hooked on this idea that one should either do the most extreme possibly imaginable thing... or not bother to do anything at all. That kind of defeatist, nihilistic attitude will get you no where. Guess what, you aren't going to be the most rich or successful or famous person who has ever lived on Earth-- but it seems you haven't killed yourself yet, so why can't you apply this "good enough" and "better than nothing" mentality to other things?
Look back to how humans were living in 1918 and I think if you are honest with yourself, if you described any of how we live today to people back then-- they would think you were telling fantastical lies. Satellite TV is impossible. 3D movies with surround sound is impossible. People visiting the moon is pure Jules Verne fantasy, and even he wasn't mad enough to claim that we would be able to cause machines to orbit the earth or send robots to Mars and even more distant planets to take photographs and somehow get the back to Earth. The internet? A system that connects devices all around the world and lets you instantly communicate with anyone in the world or contains more text than has ever been written prior to 1918? What mushrooms did you eat and where can I get some?
You claim that one can have a handheld device not physically connected with anything that can retain power for 12 hours and make phone calls, pull information from anywhere in the world and show videos longer and superior quality than 1918 cinema? You have clearly lost your god damn mind and have no sense of grasp on reality.
Seriously, man, THINK. Compared to the advances of the last 100 years, it really isn't unfeasible at all to get a solar power station in space that orbits the sun. We can then use it as an asteroid mining station and method for getting ships to an from earth and the rest of the solar system.
TheHobgoblyn I do believe you're simply a buffoon, but I'll counter your arguments in the hope that your idiocy will not infect the ignorant.
First, the original proposal was not for what anyone might call a "Dyson Swarm," a term you took straight from Wikipedia. The original proposal, which you have certainly never read, talked about the Sun being entirely encompassed by a hollow ball.
Second, humans have not been turning rocks into reflective materials since the Bronze Age. True, humans have been refining specific rocks composed of specific materials into reflective surfaces likely since the Stone Age, but to claim that one can create a mirror from any piece of rock, irrespective of the composition of said rock, is absurd.
Next, you're the one who claimed that we would begin construction of a Dyson Sphere, or some other kind of megastructure, within the next 100 years. While I'm glad you now recognize this claim as extremely absurd, please do not try to pretend I was the one who brought up such an absurdity when you were just talking about placing a simple solar-powered satellite in space.
Finally, while people in the past might have believed the internet an impossibility, they did share your belief that one cab transform mundane stone into gold. They called this alchemy, and you should learn from their mistakes and accept that it's not real.
The alien megatructure theory with the star was that they were building a "Dyson Sphere" around the star. The theory is that as a society gets more and more advanced they consume more and more energy so a society would get to a point that they would need to harness ALL of the energy that's being emitted by the star by building a "Dyson Sphere", which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like, a sphere around a star that collects all the energy. Not that the star itself was an alien megastructure, but that the sphere was blocking out the light from the star... turns out it was just a bit of gas but fuck it, "star farts" doesnt sound quite as catchy as "oh em gee aliens!"
Never know it still might be a type 3 civilization floating around it! And to be honest that have no idea really! We barely know our solar system yet they have cracked what's going on around KIC 8462852?
That backwards countdown theme was a nice touch for this video.
The Star is no mystery. It's only so regular because it recently absorbed a planet made completely out of bran flakes.
For me as a member of the GWUP (Gesellschaft zur wissenschaftlichen Untersuchung von Parawissenschaften), the german sister society of the "Committee for Skeptical Inquiry" this clip was a lot of fun and grieve
not just but also
1.5 Million wouldn't even get you half of a Boeing 747 wing.
the trouble with "tabbys star behaves totally unlike other f type stars", is tabbys star is in the proximity of cygnus x1 a huge stellar mass black hole binary, the fluctuations seen may be nothing more than interactions between tabbys and cygnus x1.
Every time someone starts to talk about a mysterious star, comet, or the sort in space near Earth I get instant chills and remember the terror that was "Hell star Remina" ooh boi.
I remember those alien heads from the 90s I used to have a stack of stickers from a vending machine. Nice touch Slopes
My Biggest question about 911-2 Electric Boogaloo is: where the hell are they going to find a skyscraper that they can just casually demolish? Assuming they aren't going to build there own in the middle of nowhere, there's no company on earth that would let such a major structure be destroyed for zero gains, and no city that would be willing to evacuate such a massive area for the sake of such an irresponsibly dangerous experiment. Even if they had the plane completely funded, the amount of lost resources and man-hours would be ludicrously expensive to cover; not to mention the absurd amount of risk to the surrounding area.
I have so many questions about that one backer that donated one dollar. Who are they? What do you think they're up to right now? What do you think they had for breakfast? My money is on a can of Heinz Baked Beans.
9/11 happens
Paul: "I'll fucking do it again!"
looks like the 11-9 redux guy watched too much mythbusters...
When the music kicked in on the B.o.B. one... That was comic gold.
0:58 I had to rewind and hear this again because it reminds me of our Reddit messages where I thought both were indeed the same person… but now I know you aren't Guru Larry.
I like that Imp's Song was snuck into there.
I came into this video thinking it would be about conspiracy theories surrounding why certain Kickstarter campaigns failed, but I guess the thumbnail showing a giant UFO should've clued me in otherwise. Hehehe. Either way, pleasantly surprised with what I came across and it was an interesting watch. :)
Great to hear Jeremy Clarkson found some voice-over work
The fact that he thought he could spend $1.5 million to drone-fit a $300 million aircraft and crash it into a $1 billion building speaks to the mental capacity of the leader(s) of the project...
Whoa,the 911 one was 100% next level insane! Iv never even once heard anything ever be that crazy!
Great video as always! ;)
Lack of backers can't melt Kickstarter campaigns
