I mean, when you read a page and there's 3 cm of "technical notes" at the bottom of the page, explaining what this and that are or how something was based on this or those, you know you're reading good stuff. By contrast, today they write all manner of bs and not only insult you with their lack of intelligence, they spit on you too, assuming you're just as lacking, and Space forbid you'd say something about it, you'll get mobbed by their groupies.

@Jack Bear in mind though that when you upload yourself, you're merely uploading a copy. YOU will continue on separately and eventually die. So yeah, it's definitely a concern for that copy of yourself you created, who essentially started living ("born") that very second and will continue on trying to find purpose in such an existence, but for you, the creator? Not your concern.

Throwing a random idea out there: What if one of those massive, multi-layered planets with black holes at the center that you mentioned in a previous video, collapsed after the black hole in the middle burnt out and the rest of the structure eventually collapsed after being abandoned, in a setting or universe where civilisation is just too thinly spread out and things are too busy for any official investigations to be launched. So only small teams and random groups with nothing better to do actually check it out. Eventually, when some civilization does look in to rebuilding or harvesting the resources from the project, they find a small civilization has already formed from people living among the collapsed wreckage. I suppose there are problems with this, for example I suppose the atmosphere of the structure would eventually be lost since there wouldn't be a magnetic field, or perhaps the surface is ruined and uninhabitable, but there are caves of hollowed out metal thousands of miles below the surface, which still have air and water left over from before everything collapsed?

What if the movie plot when as such.. A crew awakes from some suspended sleep, The ruined ship is found and being maintained by robot ai only upto the point of damage. (perhaps capped off) and the crew are all astonished for the better part of the movie, before encountering the "alien" ai 'guards'. A fight ensues and they beat the robots. (plot armour). Discover the nearby planet has 'stuff going on' and go to investigate. Bam, they get arrested for vandalizing a world history ship. The end. The world was settled way before they had arrived there, via faster travel being invented. Some disaster happened ages past and the civilization honored it with maintaining the wreckage.

Favorite level in Homeworld for me was the spaceship graveyard and those weird millions of years old abandoned spaceships. Gives quite a mysterious vibe.

Sir, I listen to your programs and realize how little I know. It is humbling to have lived 68 years and and feel like a first grader. Unlike several of our “fearless leaders “ I am willing to learn. I look forward to each new episode and know it will be on a topic I hadn’t even considered. There is so much to learn and so little time to investigate. I thank you for your efforts. Peace

This episode was ESPECIALLY fun. It made me think of how great it would be to have a story like Robert E. Howard's "Red Nails" on a giant space hulk - or, well, pretty much the plotline of the game Alien Isolation, I suppose.

OMG the dream I had while this video was playing in the background you would not believe!

Awesome video!

Alastair Reynold's Revenger is the best example of there being an entire industry of treasure hunters scavenging among abandoned structures and habitats both human and alien alike to make huge amounts of money.

counter point to the stuff about how we know where all the sunken ships etc are: flight 370

We generally know where shit is. Like the Titanic is in the Atlantic Ocean. Relative to the size of the solar system I think I hit that location right about on the head.

Cup of Joe ☕️ and some Isaac Arthur in the morning? Hell YES!

Where I live, it’s late in the evening, so I tend to fall asleep to these videos :)

The way Coruscant in Star Wars got rid of its trash was by shooting cylinders a few tons in weight full of trash into orbit every few seconds where freighters fished them out and either brought them for disposal or recycling. Ever since I've learned that heat was the limiting factor for an ecumenopolis, I wondered if this could be another minor way to bleed off more heat if the trash was heated to incandescence with waste heat before being shot into orbit. That way the garbage can bleed off its heat in orbit or at least save the recycle facilities the energy needed to smelt the garbage.

What a great way to start the ARTHURSDAY!

Man, your videos are seriously fulfilling

Coffee and a snack. Ready for the journey. Thank you sir.

Fascinating topic!

I imagine an expedition abroad some derelict ship though would probably look more like sending in some drones to kill everything and then some engineer walks in wearing a nice suit than what you see in Space Hulk. Killing all the nasties in an old abandoned structure would probably be more like killing bacteria with a UV lamp than anything else. Heck that might even be how you do it, just blast the structure with a ton of radiation to kill everything inside and then wait a few hundred years for it to get safe (you probably have that much time).

one favorite subject of conspiratists such as @Brien Foerster is to think that some cataclysmic event occurred when it is simply the work of ancestors repurposing the temples of ancient defunkt gods

You can tell that Valerian and Laureline have recently had a movie, and that someone has read the comics. they're absolutely amazing sci-fi operas. They're NOT hard Sci-Fi, but they are great reading.

Wow, so early today that I'm having lunch while watching it, instead of a coffee and a snack. Very interesting topic, that of Derelicts, a souce of loot in RPGs.

A very interesting video Mr. Isaac Arthur sir.

These are great videos Isaac; with a lot of work put into them, and all very informative. Is there a way to get digital or hard-copy transcripts for some of these, to use as a reference guide source for my own sci-fi writing projects? You seem to touch on many if not all the related areas I'm writing about. In either case, thanks for these, and I'll keep watching!

I can just imagine SFIA's scripts being printed and bound into a series of books, Idealy with lots of relevant imagery for added effect, would definitely buy!

I might stitch together and expand on some related episodes to make a book at some point, but video is kinda my prefered format, I feel like writing a book would be one of those 'just to do it' things, not sure that's a good motivation. As to transcripts, you can click the "..." button under the player and download them from any given episode. They'll be in plain text but that's also how I write them anyway

Happy Arthursday!

I love this channel.

Thank you for making this.

I didn't know Isaac Arthur would make a whole episode in memoriam of Detroit.
