NEW VIDEO: What If You Detonated a Nuclear Bomb In The Marianas Trench? (Science not Fantasy)

  

We'll break our streak of serious videos with a little silly video correcting a lot of misinformation another youtube channel spread recently with a very viral video. Not the most serious video we ever made but to be honest it was a lot of fun to write and animate it.

I'm happy to report that despite my ongoing treatment we somehow managed to release a video about every three weeks and will be able to do so until September. It was only possible with the help of friends who stepped in to help us out and partners (like FUNK, who allowed us to publish an original we made for them). We have an exciting project coming up that will lead to more video releases this fall/winter but I'll tell you more about it in a few weeks! For now I hope you enjoyed the new video! –Philipp

wow sain si so cool i love you video and the gmo we are good and bad gmo wew kill and we kill us o so

Question: One of my friend said that deep down there, there's a higher concentration of heavy water, which would be an excellent sources of nuclear fuel. I want to know why you didn't address it in the video: is it because it's not significant or sth else? Also, it would be wonderful if you can sent me sources of your answer to this question in case you refute it so that i can prove it to him

Great video, very educational and entertaining at the same time <3

Fun video! But why did you wrote “nuclear fission at first” insted of fusion, and the animation is a nuclear fission as well, while the Tsar Bomba is a hydrogen bomb isn’t it? Or I’m missing something?

Vack91

Haha typical “genius” hater with no arguments whatsoever...

Vack91

Stop talking bullshit.It seems you don't know what nuclear implosion is.And you have no idea on the physics of deep underwater nuclear explosion.

Hello, I am a new user at Patrean and trying to find some patrons for my works. Any help? Thanks in advance!

Sabbir Ahmed Saby

I can't believe that they did that understanding that they had created a Nuclear Implosion. There was no cause for the explosion to cease until it found an equilibrium. heinous BS.

Hello guys, apologize for my bad English ... i really like what you do, its amazing and fun, i hope that you can reach all your goals. the best luck And another thing, I know it's a nuisance and it's like SPAM, but could you please see our Patreon page? you or anyone who is reading this, and see if you can help us, we really do not intend to disturb, i belong to this group of people (Creando Sonrisas Venezuela) that are dedicated to helping the needy of our country. We ask for help because the situation in our country is currently terrible, and for outsiders to help it easier, because the economy here is a disaster, the salaries here are equivalent to less than $ 5 per month, yes, per month. That's why any help, however small it may be, for us means a lot, a little donation which in another place would be a simple meal here, serves to feed many people. We have little time here in Patreon, but we are very happy with those who are helping us, thanks to them we have been able to do a lot. again sorry for the inconvenience Thank you for at least read this (means a lot for us that you at least kwow our situation), bye Sweetheart...

Awesome!! Thanks to this video I'll sleep a little easier tonight.

I on the other hand find the gory deaths enjoyable, as they remind me of how fragile life is and that we are not all that special.

Alpha Shuro

I honestly find the gory deaths offputting and distracting. I spent a substantial fraction of this video looking away from my screen because I did not want the images to replay in my mind later.

Elly

I want my Bird n_n !!!

Will pledge more if I can get a bird killed ;-)

Thomas Prosser

Guys, I almost always adore your work, but please take a look at my comment on youtube... This video gives the impression that human activity can't possibly affect the earth... at all... it's just simply too big for us to f*&k up. It isn't.

Will Alberts

Uh, will they then proudly announce the "Gates" foundation supported it, the guy who said he's reduce the population with vaccines? Now I don't go to either 'side', Vaccines are a modern miracle - but having corporate America run the show with guarunteed profit and no liability is cause for concern, IMO.

G Patreon Fan

That was a cool video. Funny how little it would do, relatively speaking. Wouldn't like to be over it. Only real fault is you made the trench look like some narrow horrible crag when it is very flat because it is so big and wide, like Olympus Mons on Mars but on a smaller scale. Remember Cameron's deep dive? It was flat in all directions.

G Patreon Fan

So basically our planet would just laugh at our most powerful weapons. Compared to an earthquake our bombs are BB guns 😂😂😂

Javier Berrocal

Great video. I'd love to see one on the truth about anti vaccines from you with all the controversy surrounding it lately

Jalen Whitmore

I hope you feel better soon, and everyone makes complete recoveries.

Anthony Docimo

really cool I thought it was going really dark at first....

Christopher Buteau

Awe I didn't get noticed as a patreon :( Or anything for my sub xD

Zachary Rookey

The video that Kurg is talking about is the Ridddle video about this specific scenario. It truly was a misinterpretation to what would happen. Thanks Kurg for fixing that!

Nicholas Miller

Ahhh, I did not see it on YouTube, played it in Patreon.

Patrick W. Gilmore

Very nice. Gotta get myself a bird, too. No intro?

Navon Demhier

Speaking of bird avatars - I've had one for a long time now - how do I go about finding out which one is mine? I'm curious to see what it looks like.

Dave Langlinais

Well, the description on YouTube says "This video was inspired by xkcd and a video that shall remain unnamed." and has a link to exactly that what-if, so yeah. By the way, if anybody hasn't visited Randall's what-if page lately, he added a new one a month or two back about dangling a pole from the moon down to the earth...

Leak

P.S. I assume you have seen <a href="https://what-if.xkcd.com/15/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://what-if.xkcd.com/15/</a> ?? I never saw the "other video" until you mentioned it here. It was beyond silly, and I am actually sorry I gave them a view. But I did downvote it.

Patrick W. Gilmore

While I am glad you are keeping the video production schedule, I hope you know all of your Patrons and Fans are more interested in your treatments going as well as possible. Do NOT sacrifice one for the other.

Patrick W. Gilmore

Can u make another video: What If Our Beautiful Blue Marble(2018 AD) Makes Contact With The Star Wars Universe(before 32 BBY) While We Are Located Outside Wild Space Area?!

Miy Eterp

Welp, looks like we still need to develop anti-matter bombs to ask ourselves this question in a more serious tone.

StormTiger

Very nice vid Atomic weapons are still scary tho =P

the best content is when everyone involved both enjoys and learns things, even when they aren't the most important of things.
