The Pacific Ocean is VASTLY Bigger Than You Think
video description
1. Our standard world map was dedicated as such by a collection of leaders from all across the world (or at least from all across the colonial superpower club)
2. Our standard world map is for most points and purposes the most useful compared to the alternatives (though Im pretty sure the British would have tried to force a British centeres world-map upon the world even it wasnt a sensible option)

My favorite description of planck temp is the surprisingly common variations along the lines of -well the laws of the universe start to conflict with each other but no one knows which part actually breaks, or how so specifically, or. -
The whole -what happens, who knows, but something necessarily wont work; no, theres know way to know what exactly stops working- is almost lovecraftian lol

The comment about the east-west style maps being solely due to Great Britain is a bit misleading. It's true they defined themselves to be the central reference longitude (separating east from west, but the orientation of the map is not arbitrary at all. it is aligned with the geographic equator, which is a true/unique physical feature of the planet based on Earth's rotation axis

God needs to get rid of some water in the pacific ocean. Soon enough it's gonna grow and take up our landscape. God really needs to get rid of half of the water in the pacific ocean because it's way too big. That's just too much. Soon enough as I said the pacific ocean is gonna take over earth Soon is what I'm predicting if the pacific doesn't shrink anytime soon.

Honolulu is the most remote lager city in the world. However also being the United States it can be surprising cheap to get too from the west coast. Flight prices change every other hour. However they are less then $300 in some cases. How do so many homeless people end up thier? Well if they are able to scrounge together $300 that's how.

That alternate view of the Earth showing the water hemisphere and land hemisphere makes me realize that Pangaea has come back. There is no significant landmass in the world that cannot be walked to (with a short swim here and there. In the late Jurassic this was the world of Islands.

Polynesians did not come from Taiwan. Crazy comments. Short Chinese don-t think so. Native American Indians, Javanese and other Polynesians crossed this ocean. Very distinct peoples of Micronesia, Melanesia, Polynesian and Native Americans.

I spent the last three days watching docs about ships lost in the Atlantic. Then, I decided to move to the pacific ocean and I am now watching this video as an introduction.
I think I need to find a better way to spend my vacation

Two things
1. There-s something off about how distances are measured from Easter Island. One 2600 was further than the other
2. I love how the ancient Polynesian can find small islands but in Waterworld no one can!

The pacific ocean is gargantuan!
Bigger than Mars' entire land area!
Bigger than a sixth of Jupiter's red spot!
Bigger than a 12th of Uranus' equator!
Larger than 1/2, 600, 000th of the sun's land area!

Which is why when they show pictures of trash in the ocean I don-t freak out. We have thousands of land fills on land, so a little trash in the ocean would be very very small compared to how big it actually is

Now imagine your plane crashing in the middle and you somehow survive and use every last inch of your will to live just to stay afloat, only to remember you are a world away from help.

I remembered being a kid, with my father playing ocean favoritism. He was on Team Atlantic because that ocean was smaller, shallower, and gentler than the Pacific Ocean.

There's no air. It's bleak and it's lonely. Humans have walked on the surface of the moon, but we still haven't been to the deepest part of the ocean. --

Tell me about it, took 14-15 hours to fly Singapore to San Francisco and Vancouver to Sydney. And that-s considering the plane is flying 900-1000km/hour

the easiest way to show what your trying to show is to use a flat earth map. But you cant do that because that mess's with your world view.

Ok, i think the pacific ocean is 20 billion billion billion cubic AU in area, and 29 times that number in volume. Is it bigger than that?
