What If Everyone Lived in One Building?

Thanks to NordVPN for sponsoring this video.

The Burj Khalifa is currently the Tallest Building in the World. But what if all humans lived in a single building? Could we even build such a tall skyscraper? Let's find out!

You forgot that the majority of the apartments, especially in the cube, would be positioned in the middle without any windows... Doesn't sound too great to me

[BobScheuren]

The first objection that comes to my mind isn't the cost or the lack of windows for most of the apartments.
It's the physical limitations to building such a heavy structure.
Every floor has to bear the weight of all those above it, which means that the proposed structure would collapse unless it's built with extreme materials that simply don't exist.

Bro, imagine how long you would need to wait for the elevator💀

[brolyuniverse]

3:39 my heart dropped, there was no way in hell the animators would let that plane crash into the tower lmaoo

[littleboss]

I think the problem with lift can be settle using 2 way water lift using soulsand and magma block or even enderpearl cannon. You can also place slime block at the bottom of world cube/tower so people can safely jump down.

Isn't the earth that one building that can house everyone though?

[kudzem]

Imagine waiting for the elevator in the morning when everyone's trying to get to work lol

A building with over a million floors will never be larger than a library. A library will always have more stories.

"Hey don't threaten me, i know where you live"

[noctilucent]

3:39 i actually just had a heart attack for a second
i thought the plane was gonna hit the building for some reason lmaoo

[capetzproductions]

"So how did you get to know each other?"
"Yeah, we live in the same house..."

[toborobo]

Hope a deadly virus doesn't get into the ventilation systems of this building.

[coolcat-nqmj]

3:40 imagine an attack on that building like 9/1

[GIJERRO]

This idea would work but not the way you present it. Cut the building up in 4-6 pieces to make it less tall and then put everyone in those 4-6 structures. The structures could be build next to each other, or in a grid. That would be more realistic.

[CZminecraftvideos]

One little objection to estimating build time. These buildings are mostly limited by ability to build high, you can relatively easily scale on surface, but you can´t just build 2 floors of height at the same time. Also the biggest material problems aren´t concrete or steel, but the foundation-soil/rock.

[TheElusiveReality]

It's interesting how as tech has advanced, humans no longer find it reasonable for megaprojects to take generations to build, but how the hell else would you build something huge that's still structurally sound? The pyramids weren't built in a decade, and they've lasted for longer than anything we create now will ever last, despite the exponential increases in engineering and tech advances

[TheRRRoRy]

Seems like pyramid shape can actually return for such big human hives. Also it would be related to social status to move higher in the pyramid building, which reflects our society a lot.

[MrHangman]

I think the biggest thing that most people dont consider with this thought experiment is that they assume it would be more complex than buildings we have now, which go up incredibly quickly if the funding is there. The only reason these new and tall buildings take years, is because theyre experimental and pieces on the outside and inside need to be custom made and shaped, which costs more money and time.

Plus even if every person got their own apartment, it defeats the purpose if every residence is the size of a house. The whole idea is to have it as compact as possible.

The places would have to be at most, the size of a double wide single floor trailer home for single people, and then maybe double that for families, which would make it considerably smaller and simpler to build.

A wind turbine on the building would be unbearably noisy. This was already discovered the hard way by the Strata SE1 building in London. The turbines had to be turned off because of the noise!

you know when two cell phones/radio etc are too close together and they start making that annoying high pitched ring/frequency sound? yeah... that's what i imagine shoving everyone in the world into one building would be like 🤣
