Sorry to burst your 'time travel' bubble, but no one can really travel in time -- because it does not exist. Time is rather like trigonometry -- a useful convention to measure the relative positions of bodies of matter, but it has no independent existence.
To put this in perspective, if someone wanted to really travel back just 1 second in time, they would have to arrange for every subatomic particle in the universe to move 'back' to its position 1 second ago (including all the neural pathway connections in all the living creatures on earth, at minimum. The kind of power necessary to achieve this does not exist inside our universe.
So, sorry wannabe time travelers, but time travel is relegated to fantasy rather than science fiction.

That isn't a building at that point. Remove some of the housing for hydroponics, and line the outside with solar panels, and you'd have a straight-up arcology from science- fiction. Like something out of an ecumenopolis like Courescant from Star Wars or a Hive City Spire in Warhammer 40k. Briefly disregarding the sheer scope and logistics of pulling it off, the fact that if we wanted to, humanity -could- actually start and then -complete- such a project right now blows my mind.

Some day they will build a wire elevator over one hundred miles into low earth orbit. There will be a shuttle to take astronauts from the top of the wire elevator to the space station without firing rocket engines. It will take millions of volts of electricity to create the magnetic pulse that will accelerate the elevator that far-so there will be the burning of fuel to produce the electricity-. but no rocket engines-.

He should-ve included the Tokyo Tower of Babel, which is actually the tallest building ever planned in fact the tallest object planned on Earth. It was planned in 1992 by Waseda University and would stand 10, 000 metres tall, taller than Mt. Everest. Tall as two X-Seed 4000-s stacked on top of each other. Let-s see how many Toyota Corollas that would be.

The building in Jeddah in Saudi Arabia will soon break the record of burj Khalifa and become the tallest building in the world measuring over 1 kilometre or 697 Toyota corrola over each other and the first building to measure a kilometre but still it is a shame that it is just 1/4 of the tallest building we could built.

i have a pretty bad idea on how to make the tallest man made structure but it would go like this. first you drill a hole al the way through mount everest large enough to get a thin pipe through, and than have the pipe be the same hieght as everest.

If you haven't tried you should actually pause at 4: 05 and set a timer for 20 seconds and stare at the tower imagining someone falling. I bet you can't picture them falling slowly enough.

The tallest thing we can build is but a piece of lego to the universe. Puny. It's like nothing. And we smile and pat Elon Musk on the back. It's like wormfood.

Why can't this idiot narrator stop placing -at- at the end of sentences? While he's learning to speak English, perhaps he could stop using the word -actually. -

The earth isn't -spherical- you Dumb. . It's Flat. It's easy to verify. Go, look into it and keep looking into it. The Truth will set you free!

We really have no limit. What we do not have, is the technical knowhow to get higher at this point. Our structural abilities need to advance.

Time dilation is also caused by speed. The closer you get to the speed of light the slower time goes for you relative to the observer.

Saying Great pyramids were built in 2570bc, like it's an undisputable fact is the reason science is now a religion. It's all about faith.

All of the structures except the space elevator are limited by compressive strength. What of active support?
