Thoughts?

My dream is to create a completely manmade artificial ecosystem.

Using the Great Victoria Desert of Western Australia. Welcome to The Nova Sea, this project will be an expensive, but I believe all worth it on a conservation and educational perspective.

Spanning an unbelievably large area, of approximately 400,000 square miles, The center has it's name sake, The Nova Sea, a fully in-ground body of water with depths ranging from shallow shores to a nearly 800 feet at it's deepest. Designed to mimic natural marine ecosystems, this artificial ocean incorporates diverse habitats, including coral reefs; which if going to plans would actually be some of the largest reefs in the world, seagrass beds, kelp forests, mangroves, tidepools, and shipwrecks to provide niches for marine life.

The outside of the sea would also be full of a lush jungle that we are losing. As shown by the Greenery on the map I've created. Interconnected rivers also allow a freshwater ecosystem to preserve the rivers getting polluted.

In a world where oceans are under siege, Oceanica Nova proves that humanity’s ingenuity can create hope not just for marine ecosystems, but for the future of our planet.

Can I convince a flat earther with a weather balloon video?

They know what camera is. So in video, they tie the camera to the balloon. The camera goes up into the stratosphere. (So there is no way to manipulate the images or sth.) You can see the curve of the earth.

earth noises

every so often i hear this rumble noise,it only lasts for a few seconds but when i look around theres no plane in sight so its definitely not a plane, and its not earthquakes. iv told my friends about these noises and they all said im hearing things, but i know they are real sounds its not just planes or earthquakes. does anyone else hear these and maybe know what they are?

World Politics

Just some politics , have fun.


1.-Palestine and Israel's land —————————————————————————— If Palestinians keep saying "free Palestine" , nobody is going to save their arses. Just go find a new land rather than Israel. Keep saying "Free Palestine" 70 years later , still war. Just go find a new land , it's not that hard.


2.-USA turning into a colonial empire

I feel like USA is going to be a colonial empire like The British Empire.

Taking Over Canada , Buying Greenland , Tariffs in the Whole world , Denmark Tarrif , Threatening Europe.

Y'all always fear about a "strong empire" , but why do you allow USA to be a strong empire.

USA also did some invading in the past like -Invading Tribal Land (1776) -Invading Canada (1812) -Invading Mexico (1846) -Invading Phillipines (1899) -Invading Iraq (2003)

That's for now

Any questions?

Aviation

I have a Question, and please excuse my ignorance.

If Carbon dioxide is 1.5 times heavier than air surely burning fossil fuels on ground level means it’s captured by photosynthetic organisms on land and sea?

Isn’t by far biggest polluter and contributor to greenhouse gases aviation? As there are no photosynthetic organisms up there.

Scientists discover 'sunken worlds' hidden deep within Earth's mantle that shouldn't be there

A new way of measuring structures deep inside Earth has highlighted numerous previously unknown blobs within our planet's mantle. These anomalies are surprisingly similar to sunken chunks of Earth's crust but appear in seemingly impossible places.
Potential patches of Earth's ancient crust, sometimes called "sunken worlds," may have just been discovered deep within the mantle, thanks to a new way of mapping the inside of our planet. However, these mysterious blobs appear in places they should not, leaving researchers scratching their heads.

For decades, scientists have been building up a better picture of Earth's interior by using seismographs — 3D images created by measuring how seismic waves from earthquakes reverberate deep within our planet. This method has helped scientists identify ancient sections of the planet's crust, known as subducted slabs, that have been pulled into the mantle through subduction zones where tectonic plates meet. For example, in October 2024, researchers announced the discovery of a section of seafloor that had sunk deep into the mantle below Easter Island.

In a study published Nov. 4, 2024, in the journal Scientific Reports, researchers revealed that they had discovered "numerous" potential subducted slabs throughout Earth's mantle, using a new type of seismographic imaging. (Little information about the size, shape and exact locations of the blobs has been revealed so far.)

However, unlike previously identified subducted slabs, which are found in areas where tectonic plates currently collide or have previously smashed together, some of the new anomalies are located in places where no known tectonic activity has ever occurred, such as below the western Pacific Ocean. As a result, it is unclear how they ended up there.
