Science Sunday | Atlantis

Hello Again Everyone And Welcome To Science Sunday! Today We Will Be Talking About Atlantis (Sort Of) When I Say Sort Of I Mean Not Literally. There Have Recently Been Plans Unveiled About A New Under Water City Structure That Could Mean The Lost City Will One Day Be Real.

Unfortunately It Will Not Look Like The Above Picture Which Is One Artists Conception Of 'The Lost City Of Atlantis' But It Looks Even Cooler In My Opinion. Anyway, The Under Water City Was Proposed By, Shimizu Corp, A Japanese Company As A Way Of Controlling The Current Over Population In The World.The City Would Use Energy From The Sea Bed. The Idea Of Making An Under Water City Is A Sort Of Counter Proposal To The Recent Suggestions Of Colonizing Mars And Making Giant, Floating Cities. If The Under Water City Was To Be Built It Would Be A Cheaper Option To The Other As It Doesn't Require Some Rocket To Another Planet Or A Huge, Floaty, Thing.

The City (Ocean Spiral As It Is Called At The Moment) Will Hold A Population Of Up To 5000 People. They Will Live In House In A Huge Under Water Sphere That Is 500 Metres In Diameter Which Will Fit Nicely Just Under The Water Of The Water. There Aren't Just Residential Areas In Their Though, They Have Hotels And Other Commercial Complexes.

The Dome Will Be Connected To A 15 Km Long Path That Winds Through The Sea Towards A Building Located At The Ocean Floor, About 4000 Metres Below The Surface. This 'Earth Factory' Would Serve As A Hub For Scientists To Mine Natural Resources Such As Copper And Zinc Which In Turn Would Then Create More Jobs For The 'Local Residents' So They Aren't Completely Bored.

I Think If I Was Living In This Place After All This Time I Would Get Extremely Bored :/ You Would Be Breathing In Recycled Oxygen Because They would Extract It From The Sea Bed And You Would Be Restricted In This Little Dome With, Presumably, No Contact With The Outside World Apart From Stuff Like Skype And Phones. Even Though I Say This I Would Absolutely Love To Live Under The Sea In This Dome.

What Do You Think It Would Be Like Living In This Dome And Would You Like To Live Here?

Even Though This May Sound Like An Over Active Imagination Shimizu Corp Believe It Could Be An Actual Thing In The Future And They Are Going To Try And Get This Made One Day. “This is a real goal, not a pipe dream,” Shimizu spokesman Hideo Imamura told The Guardian. “The Astro Boy cartoon character had a mobile phone long before they were actually invented—in the same way, the technology and knowhow we need for this project will become available.”

Anyway Thanks For Taking The Time To Read Through All This, The Science Sunday's Will Usually Be Quite Long But That's What I'm Expecting. Please Follow My Blog If You Enjoy This Post And Check Out RandomIndi's Blog Too. Good Night!

Turbulence Tuesday | Abandonded Places

Hey Guys And Welcome Back, Today We Will Be Talking About A Very Interesting But Also Rather Creepy Topic: Abandoned Places In The World This Topic Doesn't Have Much To Talk About So This Post Will Have A Lot Of Pictures And Not Much Talking But I Hope You Enjoy Anyway  (Some Of The Pictures Are Small So I Recommend Clicking Them To Enlarge)

I. Willard Asylum - Willard, New York

 

 This Place, As Any Other Asylum, Is Creepy As Hell. The Fact That It Is Still So Well Preserved But At The Same Time Totally Run Down. All The Little Details Like The Old Glasses Still On The Table Make This Place Seem Even Creepier. I Would Personally Love To Walk Around This Place After Dark On Like A Ghost Walk Because It Just Seems So Creepy.

It Was Built In 1869 And Closed In 1995 And Housed 4000 Patients At It's Peak

II. Farmhouse - Seneca Lake, New York

It Seems That The Creepiest Places Are In New York! Anyway This Place Literally Looks Like Something You Would See In A Horror Movie, All The Abandoned, Old, Run Down Cars Just Lying Around Everywhere And Then The Old Rotting Farmhouse In The Background Is Really A Scene Out Of A Horror Movie O.o I Must Get On The Phone To Someone And Make This Place A Movie

 

 III. House Of The Bulgarian Communist Party

 

This Place Is One Of The Abandoned Places That Actually Amazes Me.. It Just Looks Like Something Out Of A Sci-Fi Film, It's Stunning. I Can't Actually Believe This Is An Actual Place On Earth, I Would Love To Go Here One Day, It Almost Looks Like The Bottom Of Some Sort Of UFO. The Ground Is Actually Just Snow, As This Is Located In Bulgaria, And Not Some Sort Of Moon Dust Because It Seems Like That.

 

 The House Of The Bulgarian Communist Party Was My Favorite One, What's Yours?

Anyway Thanks For Taking The Time To Read And If There Is Any Way I Can Make These Posts More Interesting And Less 'Waffly'. Check Out RandomIndi's Blog Here

Update On Uploading Times etc..

Hey Guys And Welcome To The New Improved Blog 'Tyler's Blog Of Life'; Recently I Have Not Been Very Consistent In My Uploading And I Have Noticed That My Uploads Are Quite Boring And Long, So I Am Going To Be Taking Advice From A Good Friend, RandomIndi (Her Blog Will Be Linked At The End) As She Has Been Uploading Blog Tips On Sunday And I Would Recommend Checking Them Out. Any Who Let's Continue, I Will Be Uploading Twice A Week Now And Sunday Will Be About Science And On Tuesday It Will Be The Most Random Thing That Has Nothing To Do With Anything But It Will Hopefully Be More Enjoyable Than Recent Posts And I Will Be Able To Keep It Consistent But Interesting. Thanks For Reading And Hopefully The Posts Will Be Better. Have A Good Night :)

The Return

Hello Again Everyone, I Know It Has Been A While Since My Last Proper Post But Things Have Been Very Stressful At The Moment So Hopefully Everything Will Even Out Now. I Will Also Still Be Making The Podcast But That Will Be Uploaded Onto YouTube Until I Get Some Money To Host It. Today Will Just Be A Completely Random Upload About Something That I Hate But Affects Me: Atychiphobia. Some Of You May Be Asking What This Is, And Why It's So Bad But All Will Be Revealed.

Basically Atychiphobia Is The Fear Of Failure And Is One Of The Worst Fears A Person Can Have Personally. Recently It Has Come Out A Lot More And Can Actually Make Me One Depressed Guy. It Can Affect You More Than You Would Expect, When People Hear This They Think You Just Get A Bit Nervous When Walking Into Tests And Stuff Like That But It Affects You With Everything You Do In Your Everyday Life. I'm Going To Share With You Some Of The Affects It Has And My Personal Experience With Them.

1. Nervousness

This Is The Biggest Thing By Far That Is Caused By Atychiphobia And Can Affect Even The Smallest Decisions. The Nervousness Caused By This Can Affect Little Things You Do Like With Me I Can't Put Up My Hand In Class Because I'm Afraid I'll Say Something Wrong And Then Everyone Will Think I'm Stupid. This Nervousness Can Also Affect Making New Friends, For Example In My Science Class (Not Going To Mention Which One) I Sit Next To A Girl Whom I Really Like But I Can Not Talk To Her At All, If She Starts Conversation With Me I Just Reply As Quick As I Can And I Want To Continue The Conversation But I Just Can't As I Feel I Might Faint Or Say Something That'll Make Her Think Less Of Me

2. Faintness

I Have Never Fainted In My Life But I Feel Faint All The Time And Occasionally Dizzy. This Mostly Occurs For Me When Talking To New People And Even More So When Talking To 'Said Girl'. This Is A Really Uncomfortable Feeling As It Makes You Not Think Straight And You Feel Like An Idiot. This Faintness Kinda Links Into Panic Attacks Which I Don't Get Regularly But They Have Happened In The Past And Are Really Annoying Really.

3. Overall Feelings Of Dread

This Kinda Links Back To Nervousness As Nervousness Can Make You Feel Dread. Now I Am Usually A Happy Guy But On Tuesday Somethings Happened During My 4th Period Class And I Got Really Upset For The Rest Of The Day And  A Bit Of The Next Day, This Was Caused By These Feelings Of Pure Dread. I Was Dreading Going Into My Last Lesson Because I Know That When I Am Upset People Aren't Used To Seeing Me Like It And I Hate Being The Center Of Attention Most Of The Time. I Am Still Feeling A Bit Upset After That But It Will All Clear Up Soon Enough.

Now This Has Been My Personal Insight To Atychiphobia Which May Or May Not Relate To Some People But I Feel Like I Have To Let It All Out Which Is What These Posts Are About Really.

Anyway Thanks For Staying This Long And Reading I Really Appreciate It. The Podcast As I Mentioned Earlier Is Going To Be Coming Out Soon And The First Few Editions On YouTube. I Have Also Decided To Keep Posting By Writing Once A Week Parallel To The Podcasts. Anyway Thanks For Reading So Much And Sorry For The Lack Of Posts! Good Night

Apologies

Hello Again Everyone And Today I Would Like To Apologize For The Lack Of Posting, I Have Been Trying To Start Up My Podcast But It Is A Lot More Difficult Than I Expected, And How It Will Be Recorded This Week Hopefully And If I Can't Host It As A Proper Podcast To Begin With I Will Upload It To YouTube So That It Will Be Out Sooner Because It Does Cost Money To Set Up A Podcast And I Have None At The Moment So I Will Try To Get On That As Soon As Possible :D I Will Try To Keep Posting On My Blog Until The Podcast Comes Out And Then When It Does My Uploads Will Be Very Minimum But I Will Post Every Time I Upload A New Podcast :P

Anyway I Hope You Guys Can Forgive Me For This Hold Up As I Have Been Very Busy Lately, Hiking For Something Called 'Ten Tors' Which Is Basically A 35 Mile Hike Over 2 Days Which May Not Sound Like Much But Trust Me, It Is. Anyway I Will Hopefully Keep Consistent For A While Until The Podcast Comes Out :) Thanks For Reading

Change In Plans

Hello everyone and this is a very important update for the blog. I am not going to continue this blog in the current way that I am but in a much better way for me and you! I amp going to be starting a weekly podcast that will consist of all the stuff in the blog and much much, more!

I hope this doesn't upset anyone as I think it will be a great way to get more information and funny stuff across whilst at the same time branching out to another aspect of blogging. This podcast will hopefully be up and running in the next couple of weeks so you can look forward to that :) I will still upload the occasional written blog but not as often. So I hope this doesn't cause too much distress but tell me what you think in the comment! 

Thank You For Reading
