The Supermountains That Dwarfed The Himalayas

Speaking of mispronounced names, I listened to an interview with the guy who invented Pilates and he said that his family name was always pronounced pie-late's and does not rhyme with Socrates, but what would he know.

Has anyone told you that your documentary voice sounds a lot like Nicolas Cage?

That was a bad Australian accent, not Kiwi….

t=258 designer needs a new ruler ….

No, it won't.

7:14 It was NOT over casserole, it was about COFFEE! (Everyone gets that wrong.)

Just don't tell the loony, that Denali can be the highest mountain in the world, depending on how you measure it.

You totally got me with Olympus Mons segue!

@2:06 Just like the word "gerrymandering."
That guy's last name was pronounced "Gary,"
So everyone should be saying it as "Garymandering."

I love that because Earth goes through periodic supercontinents that scientists have not only named the next supercontinent that will form, but also the supercontinent that will be formed after the next one breaks up before reforming.

Olympus Mons isn't a mountain, it's a swelling. The Grapevine on I-5 is steeper!!

I knew Chimborazo would come up as soon as I started the video. Thanks American Dad!

I kinda feels like less of an "ultimate feat" when you have to wait in line behind dozens of other people accomplishing the ultimate feat too. I'm not saying it isn't insanely difficult, it's just that technology has cheapened the accomplishment

I’ve come to love that opening tune it means I’m going to learn something interesting!

New earth just dropped. That's cool

You see one mountain, you've seen them all.

What matters are the hills you made along the way.

Should we measure when hard or when soft?

Hey Joe, big fan, you rock and keep on rocking.
Question, in all the animations of plate tectonics the movements of the plates all suddenly make directional changes and flow in motions that seem to be influenced by something powerful enough to alter what would seem to be a smooth and linear directional path. Is there historical explanations of why the plates alter course at different times in these models? Maybe magnetic pole shifts or impact events?

I don't know if you'll see this because I'm not a member, but you should do an episode on materials that could theoretically form on super earths

3:58 the best YouTube channels don’t have to resort to bullshit ploys to generate comments. See Lockpicking Lawyer who routinely makes <3 minute videos with massive views and comments… real engagement. Every time a video does something like this to garner comments or likes or subscriptions, I think less of them.

You blew my mind!
