We MUST Become a Space Faring Civilization and This is How We Get There | The Big Picture Ep 11. Premiering now on Youtube!.

What happens when 2 miles of ice melts off a continent?.The land rises—literally. It's called isostasy. Just like a cushion springs back when you get up, the Earth rebounds when the weight of ice is removed. In places like Hudson Bay, ancient shorelines show just how much the

The Earth isn’t just a home—it’s a blueprint. We now have the physics, propulsion, and tech to restore the Earth and build self-sustaining biospheres in space. Low-friction travel. Global collaboration. All possible—if we get the relationship with technology right.

You see the stone. But you miss the masterpiece. Gothic cathedrals? They wouldn’t exist without genius carpentry—formwork, scaffolding, precision geometry. The vaults, arches, and steeples? All made possible by woodwork… that vanished once the stone was set. The real mystery

Jeff Bezos is backing the O’Neill space cylinder idea—rotating habitats in space. But here’s what’s really wild: recent computer models show that the ideal geometries for free-floating civilizations… look just like the ancient principles of sacred geometry. It’s almost like

At the peak of the Ice Age, entire cities—New York, Chicago, Seattle—were under a mile and a half of ice. This wasn’t ancient history… this was just 10,000 to 25,000 years ago. But here’s the kicker: science still has no clear answer for what ended it. That’s when the real

Skull and Bones. The Illuminati. Freemasons. We’ve all heard the names—but how much influence do these secret societies really have?. Some adapted Masonic symbols… but being publicly known as a Freemason at one point could’ve gotten you killed. When secrecy is survival, how

A single cosmic event—something relatively common in Earth’s history—could do more damage than anything humans have ever caused… even nuclear war. We’re talking about a return to the Stone Age for any survivors. Widespread extinction. Global environmental collapse. And yet…

Tunguska wiped out 80 million trees in 1908—but 100 years later, you’d barely know it happened. So how do we really detect ancient impact events?. Scientists use techniques like Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) to date when soil and rock layers were last exposed to

What kind of future can we build? Anything we can imagine. But there’s a catch—we have to expand. Up and out. Every symbol, story, and myth of progress points to this same truth: our survival depends on becoming a spacefaring civilization. It’ll be hard—but it’s not impossible.

A comet got too close to Jupiter… and its gravity ripped it to shreds. This is the Roche limit in action: the gravitational field overpowers the object’s own cohesion. What followed was remarkable—astronomers tracked the debris, called it a “chain of pearls”, and calculated its

In July 2024, an asteroid the size of the Eiffel Tower—designated 2024 MK—passed within 180,000 miles of Earth. That’s inside the Moon’s orbit. In astronomical terms, that’s a whisker. We’re in a cosmic ping-pong game. These objects loop out toward Jupiter and swing back near

That mushroom cloud?.A 50-megaton hydrogen bomb—the largest explosion ever created by humans. Now imagine something 12 times more powerful. flying past Earth. That’s the kind of force we’re dealing with when it comes to cosmic impacts. Nature plays by different rules.

The number 432,000 shows up in some of the oldest stories we’ve ever recorded—.From the reigns of Sumer’s antediluvian kings. To the Vedic Kali Yuga cycle in India. To the so-called “God frequency” in modern mystical circles. Coincidence? Or were ancient cultures tuned into

We’ve only just begun to map the scars. Buried beneath your feet are 200+ craters and astroblemes—“star wounds”—from past cosmic impacts. Some the size of cities. Some still completely hidden. Meteor Crater in Arizona?.That massive hole was carved by a rock only 150 feet wide.

In the 60s, the Vietnam War loomed over everything. Some were desperate to avoid the draft—very desperate. This story? A college student, one little pill, and a wild scene at the induction center. Chairs were flying, windows nearly shattered. He got what he wanted: declared unfit

What’s a geomythologist? It’s a real scientific field—and it’s rewriting what we know about ancient cataclysms. Geomythology means decoding myths, legends, and ancient texts to uncover clues about real geological events. Sounds far-fetched? That’s how Troy was discovered.

Martin Luther King explored the idea that early Christianity preserved older pagan rituals. Could the story of Jesus be part of a much deeper tradition?. Some scholars point to the ancient archetype of the dying and resurrected god—a motif far older than Christianity. And when

Imagine North America with a South Pole climate. That was reality just 13,000 years ago. We’re told climate is supposed to be stable—but the truth? Earth’s climate has never been steady. Sea levels have risen over 400 feet since the end of the last ice age. Yet somehow, the

Not all cosmic impacts leave craters. In fact, most don’t. Marine geologists are now reconsidering the cause of ancient mega-tsunamis. Some may not have come from volcanoes—but from objects slamming into Earth at 20 miles per second. Events like Tunguska are reminders that not
