Hey there! Life Noggin has been uploading videos since 2014 and
of the over 500 uploads we've done on this channel, there have been a few that
have been controversial. Those videos have received several comments, several meaning
thousands. Some were positive. Some negative. Some were just flat-out bonkers like this one,
and I wanted to compile a few of these videos into 1 video, in case you missed any of them.
Here's the first one. Proof the earth isn't flat. 47,700 comments on the original video.
You're probably watching this video from somewhere on Earth that big round beautiful planet you
humans call home but how do you know the Earth is round your senses would tell you that it's
flat after all if you stand in a large field it actually looks pretty flat and if you walk through
that field it doesn't feel like you're going over a curve could it be that the Earth is actually
flat well let's try an experiment say you're standing in a field outside of Chicago if the
Earth is flat you should be able to see Southwest and see some of the tallest points in the United
States the Rocky Mountains but the thing is you can't that's because of the curvature of the earth
you'll notice a similar problem if you stand on a seashore and try to watch a boat sail away after
a while it will disappear from View and not only that but the bottom of the boat will vanish before
the top as it goes over What's called the horizon line the place where the sky meets the Earth for
someone who is six feet tall the horizon line is only three miles away but the higher up you are
the farther you can see over the Earth's curve this is why standing on a tall mountain might
allow you to see over 100 miles while standing in a field will only let you see a short distance
it also means that taller people can see slightly farther than shorter people good thing my animator
can make me any height see I'm like that one ant dude the thing is none of this is new information
we've known about the planet's curvature for over two thousand years the ancient Greeks figured out
that the Earth is round based on several pieces of evidence including their observations of
ships going over the horizon line the scientist Aristotle writing in 350 BCE noted that during an
eclipse the earth makes a round shadow on the moon he also realized that stars appear in different
places depending on where you're standing for example he saw stars in Egypt that weren't visible
farther north roughly 100 years later humans got their first measurements of the Earth's curve
from another Greek mathematician eratosthenes he had heard of a city in southern Egypt where at
noon on the summer solstice the sun was directly overhead and the buildings cast no Shadows but at
the same time in the northern city of Alexandria the buildings did cast Shadows meaning the sun was
at a different angle in the sky on the day of the solstice eratosthenes stuck a stick in the ground
in Alexandria and measured the angle of its shadow using the distance between the two cities he was
able to calculate the the curvature of the earth you could actually perform the same experiment
if you have a friend living a few miles away or if your friend is several hours West you can get more
proof that the Earth is round by calling them at Sunset and asking how the sky looks it will still
be daylight there because of the Earth's curve and there's one more piece of clear evidence for the
planet's shape pictures taken from space maybe you're not on Earth after all and are actually
watching this video from the space station in which case please leave a comment because that's
so cool if that's true you'll have a bird's eye view of this giant blue and green Globe
Here's another What's The Best Spot To Live On Earth?
This video got over 16k comments. Most of them talk about where the viewer lives
and why it might be better than most places. Less angry comments than the video debunking
the flat earth theories, but still interesting discussions all around.
where is the best spot to live sure everyone has different preferences like being in a cold
versus a warm climate but most people can agree that they want to live a long safe and Happy
Life and Science can help find the best place for that there are tons of studies about where
you humans lived longest but any measure of life expectancy is just an estimate we can't actually
know how long you'll live until you well die and that's a problem if we only study the lifespans
of people who already died say everyone born in 1890 that won't help us figure out today's life
expectancy we now have better medicine housing and sanitation than back then wait animator why did
you put a toilet for sanitation it's that's weird anyway so to figure out life expectancy scientists
use probability they predict How likely it is that someone will reach a certain age based on
current trends and conditions the countries with the longest lifespans all have strong economies
good access to health care and generally healthy diets Monaco takes the top spot its citizens live
to be an average of over 85 years old in Japan and Hong Kong the average is over 83 years but these
numbers could change if a disaster hits or a war breaks out for somewhere to be the best place it
also has to be safe Japan is at a high risk for disasters because it gets a lot of earthquakes
and floods even more vulnerable are the islands in Southeast Asia and the Central Pacific which
face earthquakes storms and increasing sea levels many of these countries don't have the resources
or infrastructure to deal with disasters this is important because the same size storm could topple
buildings in one place while leaving another without much damage the safest nations are the
ones where natural disasters don't happen often but if they did the country could handle them
topping the list are Saudi Arabia Malta and Qatar as far as human violence goes there's no location
where you'll be totally safe but some countries come pretty close based on the Global Peace Index
studies Iceland Denmark and Austria are the most peaceful Nations on Earth and they're also some of
the happiest it's tough to study happiness because it means different things to different people so
scientists at the United Nations came up with six criteria that apply to every country wealth life
expectancy corruption social support freedom to make your own decisions and generosity or how much
people donate they talk to people in 150 different countries and the happiest were Norway Denmark
Iceland and Switzerland so which one is the best place to live well there is one country that ranks
near the top in just about every study Iceland it's not only happy and peaceful but it makes
the top 10 in life expectancy and in safety from natural disasters so there you have it Iceland is
the best well maybe it's probably more important to go based on where you feel most comfortable
for me that's the Cozy insides of this computer where would you move if you could go anywhere?
Last video up! We have "What Happens After You Die?"
This one didn't get as many comments as the previous 2,
but it definitely opened up a pretty big discussion. A
lot of the comments are also existential dread...enjoy this Life Noggin throwback!
First off after you die your body will start to get cold in fact every hour after you die
your body will get about 0.8 degrees Celsius cooler until it reaches room temperature and
Meanwhile your cells will start dying from a lack of oxygen since you know your lungs are no longer
working and your heart has stopped beating but this lack of oxygen won't kill them right away
instead they will live for several minutes and during this time there there are still chemical
reactions occurring that produce carbon dioxide and increase the acidity of the cell enzymes in
the cells then start to digest the cell membrane causing the cell to break down and start leaking
and the enzymes that escape can go on and break down the other cells around it creepy huh and
fun fact when your muscles relax after you die it may lead to you peeing or defecating if you
haven't used the bathroom in a while anyway later on Blood starts to spill out from broken blood
vessels and since it isn't flowing around your body you will start to look pale now if you're
lying down as you probably will be the blood will begin to travel down thanks to gravity and
it will be settled in the lowest regions along your backside and this will eventually lead to
discoloration about two to six hours after death Rigamortis kicks in when you are living you are
able to contract and relax your muscles at will but with rigor mortis after your cells
have used up the last of their energy Supply the protein filaments allowing your muscles to
move become locked in place which is why dead bodies are so stiff and this stiffness usually
lasts for about three days a few days after death putrefaction begins as the bacteria in
your gastrointestinal tract will start to break down tissues and cells liquefying your body and
producing horrific smelling gases like methane and hydrogen sulfide and with the production
of gas comes the bloating of your belly the gas pressure causes any liquids in cells and
blood vessels to spill out which may eventually start to leak out of your body and sometimes the
pressure is so great that the abdomen bursts open which is definitely an image that will
haunt my dreams forever thank you for animating that okay and since your body is smelly it will
attract blowflies that will lay eggs in your Rotting Flesh leading to the birth of maggots
within a day these maggots feed on your flesh attracting beetles and other insects boy this
is a beautiful episode 20 to 50 days after death a process called butyric fermentation begins as
the flesh is removed and your body dries out and the parts of your body touching the ground
start to develop mold then over the course of years all your flesh has been decomposed
and is eaten by various insects and animals and all that is left is your skeleton so it's
not a pretty process at all and it sure doesn't smell nice but it sure makes me happy that most
of the time someone dies their body is quickly disposed of so no one has to witness all of that
