What If We Dug Tunnels Between Continents? #Shorts

This video taught me that you can solve any problem if you just ignore all the limitations and physics holding you back.

[Theoktonos]

"Here's what would happen if we dug tunnels to other continents"
Next sentence: "We're not digging tunnels"

[jenbai]

"hey I wonder what would happen if I open the window"
"DONT!"
"see there isn't a p-"
*dies*

[thesenate]

Love the part where he explains the tunnels being dug through the continental shelf

[driverm]

Ah yes, having an almost 0 pressure tube mounted to the ocean floor sounds like a brilliant idea.... One micro-fracture, and that drip of water very rapidly becomes the literal whole ocean coming in

[adrianalavez]

Yes, no. It's a horrible idea, especially when we have seismic activity that can level towns+

[fumme]

Ah yes vacuum tunnel under ocean, such a prfect combination

[HCG]

Holy shit, even as a thought experiment there are so many physics issues it hurts my brain. No one seems to understand how incredibly difficult it is to maintain a vacuum in even a very small box. Even a mile long tube would be next to impossible to maintain over any amount of time.

[Arklight.]

Sounds nice in theory, but other than it being incredibly expensive to build and maintain, a million things could go wrong and kill everyone in that train

[ihasnobrain]

Theoretically this would be sick. Realistically impractical since maintenance

[lycanyte]

"tied to the ocean floor" oh okay, so it floats with buoyancy? Cool!

"Kept in a vacuum" THAT WON'T FLOAT

[ULZER]

Elon musk: Write that down Write that down

[Toxagon]

It’s all good in theory when you completely neglect every problem that could arise

[ariesleo]

Yeah putting a low pressure tube under a high-pressure Ocean sounds like a good idea

[beetledesert]

Me the entire video: yeah how you gonna solve the tectonic plates movement

[aikawaayumu]

Big tube in a vacuum

Ocean already trying to crush big tube

Ocean: "thanks for the help"

[Keaks_]

It’s like saying. “All we need to do is make a flying car and fly.”

[Ridderkruk]

Problems with this
1: a single mistake and everybody dies
2: this is more dangerous than a plane
3: any mistake would probably make the Tunnel implode

[CKoji]

Just over here imagining my lungs collapsing with every other inch of my body. No thanks. Think i’ll stick to flying.

POV: Your a guy bored in class and start thinking of plans on how to achieve this.
