Zelda’s INSANE WEATHER! The SCIENCE!… of Zelda Breath of the Wild REUPLOAD

This was quite literally one of my favorite videos I ever did, on the crazy weather in Breath of the Wild. It took me over 15 hours to get all the data I needed for it, and, as a result, I think this is one of the best videos I ever made. This is the gold standard for SCIENCE episodes, and I hope to make another video this good some day.

Hey everyone. As you know, I've moved on from the Game Theorists, and as a result, a lot of my old videos were unlisted over there. No drama, no bad blood, it's just how these things are done! That said, I'm reuploading my old videos here, because there's 94 of them, give or take, and averaging at about 15 minutes each, that's *23 hours* of videos that I worked on that I don't want to get lost to the sands of time. On average it takes about 3 hours of editing to do one minute of video (wrap your head around that one for every vid you've ever watched), not to mention the writing time and research time (usually days for each). That boils down to 174 DAYS of editing time for the entire stack. I'm proud of most of these and don't want people to have issues finding them, so I'm going to be reuploading about 2 per month as to not overwhelm the channel with content. THIS video is one of my favorites. The work I did on it was absolutely out of this world, and I kinda can't believe I actually did everything I did on it. It's just wild. It took me hours and hours and hours to just get data for this vid, and it turned out so well.

My issue with GT was that it seemed to care less and less about the facts. I got banned from the subreddit because I posted an extremely detailed scientific explanation of why Multiple Personality Disorder/Dissociative Identity Disorder might not actually exist and it might be dangerous to public health to tell people it does. It seems as if telling people that they might have it makes a percentage of the population develop new and painful symptoms that they never had before. This is even true of the patient zero of DID, "Sybil" (real name: Shirley Ardell Mason). My explanation took several hours to write and included references from the American Psychological Association--y'know, the people who LITERALLY wrote the book on psychological disorders, Psychology Today which basically makes complicated scientific papers understandable to the layman, and like 10 various peer reviewed academic journals. I offered to explain the science in even more detail if anyone wanted because this is the field my degree is in and I care deeply about the topic. The comment from the mod who banned me was that I needed to "educate myself." Then the very next video they posted said that the Montgomery County, MD police department was in Baltimore. Montgomery County doesn't even share a border with either Baltimore county or Baltimore city which is its own legal jurisdiction almost entirely surrounded by the county. I watched a few more videos after that but each of them had some glaring issue and I just couldn't even bring myself to care anymore.

@spacecat8511 Жыл бұрын

For real tho. It inspired me to try and consider returning to college to play catchup on all the math and science classes I had to resign myself to never taking while in HS ‘cause my science and math teachers were… 1 teacher taught an entire subject and therefore all levels of that subject, and I just didn’t learn well whatsoever from them, as they never bothered to TRY to adjust their approaches to reach more students vs “give a lecture, assign 30+ problems, wash their hands of us.” (And it was a very small school. Less than 200 students, 20 per grade. They had the time relatively speaking for more individualized approaches if they cares to. They didn’t. They made tenure at a small private christian highschool so they no longer gave a shit. Still think my parents wasted their money but whatever.) Sadly, I have chronic health issues that forced me to unenroll and give up on taking maths-my hands no longer let mr write without pain, and certainly not enough/long enough to make it through a lecture, even when only copying down the professor’s work vs working ahead alongside it. Can’t do homework like that. So I’ll have to just enjoy videos like these vs able to fully follow along or work alongside them…but that’s okay.

@lennyfacebutnotreally3198 Жыл бұрын

my guess as to why Hyrule is less foresty than it should be in theory is due to the many civilizations (mainly the hylians) they've just cut all the trees, and if wasn't the civilizations, it was definitely Ganon, and 100 years isn't enough time to regrow an entire forest out of thin air without any saplings. Also, Im curious, did you test any of the areas that shouldn't be as rainy in theory? just for comparison's sake

@numbernumber25 Жыл бұрын

Well for some areas it could just be due to the rocky areas, beyond that I would guess less trees being from the Hyrule citizens trying to rebuild any structures following Ganon's return.

As someone who was going to school for meteorology when this video first cane out, and now am going for my masters, this video is one of the handful of videos I use when explaining the basics of weather to others. You've done a great job of explaining things like uneven surface heating, pressure gradients, different scales of weather (like microscale vs mesoscale vs synoptic scale), and a few other concepts. I'm so glad you've re-uploaded this, since it's a great way to introduce those concepts to people!

@dizzygradespells Жыл бұрын

Hi! Biologist here. I can account for why Hyrule has a lot of fields when it should be covered in trees. It all comes down to succession. Succession is the process by which plants grow. Turning barren wastelands to fields and then forests. Primary succession is untouched land. Think places where people never stepped foot. Secondary succession is when the area has been stripped (people moved in and built stuff) but then it is left to grow wild again. Normally, moving from one phase of succession to the next (fields to forests) it takes a decently long time. At least a good few hundred years, if not thousands of years. All the places we see fields in Hyrule are places of secondary succession. They were villages and outposts. And they all burned down, reducing the place to basically a wasteland again. Or at the very least a field. Not only that, guardians and bokoblin camps still roam those areas, slowing down succession progress. So it actually makes sense for there to be fields in a temperate rainforest climate. It's because the land hasn't had enough time to recover. Give it another couple hundred years. Then it'll be rainforest again.
