  1. how's that an assumption?

  2. Titanic was not subpar, lmao. It was the safest and most advanced ship of the time

  3.  Lovecraft  lol it's happening much, much, much sooner. You naysayers amuse me. You're the type if person to say powered flight will never happen in 1902

  4.  @fuzzywzhe  yeah I don't think you know what you're talking about, carbon nanotubes don't oxidise

  5.  @fuzzywzhe  If it doesn't contradict the laws of physics then it's an overcome-able problem. End of discussion.

  6.  @fuzzywzhe  State the temperature it melts at

  7.  @livethefuture2492  small hurdle

  8.  Lovecraft  This doesn't break any laws

  9.  Lovecraft  Ok don't say stupid shit then

  10.  @michael-dm2bv  It breaks common sense? Yeah I'm pretty sure powered flight also broke common sense before the 19th and 20th century

  11.  @michael-dm2bv  How are you gonna get something heavier than air to stay up in the sky huh? But physics won't allow it. But the materials aren't strong enough. It'll be too heavy, it cant have an engine, how can it fly if it doesnt flap its wings, huh, common sense bro.

  12.  @michael-dm2bv  Flight did not make sense before the 20th century actually, with the New York times in 1903 reporting that heavier than air flight won't happen for another million years, lol. Just because your brain can't comprehend something that hasn't been invented yet doesn't make it impossible.

  13.  @TheAbyssalStorm  it wouldn't have caused more issues though. Almost everyone would have lived if it collided head on with the iceberg

  15.  @michael-dm2bv  No need to visit space? Ok I'm convinced you're some done with life boomer at this point. If you don't think mankind needs to progress into a space fairing species then your credibility is basically zero. There's no model in nature for GPS satellites and yet they exist don't they? Of course we need to go to space you muppet, we need to get off this planet ASAP. Every generation has some anti progress nut jobs. "Oooo you young people and your powered flight, I'm perfectly fine here on the ground, we will never need aeroplanes anyways" typical old people eh.

  16.  @Tate525  Well yeah no shit they weren't time travellers

  17. I don't think anyone is surprised that the only thing that spoiled the concords squeaky clean record is a DC-10, because of course it is

  23.  @agustinechevarria8048  lol shut up it's literally cars going in circles

  24.  @berengerchristy6256  but nearly all of that viewership is american and americans only enjoy it because it's simple enough for their brains to understand

  25.  @berengerchristy6256  Got it, so americans really enjoy hand egg and cars going around in circles like a cartoon. Truly fascinating creatures.

  26.  @Daubeny777  F1 cars are way more interesting, they are the peak of human engineering

  30. Imagine how insanely smart the people that first came up with these designs are

  31. Instead of dealing with all this nonsense, imagine we had this magical metal that could produce heat for tens if not hundreds of years, and turn water into steam to drive turbines constantly, only emitting H2O and being completely silent and harmless. Oh wait....we do

  34. You do realise active sonar doesn't sound like that right? It's more of a really high pitched whistle type of thing.

  35. The Concorde was not ahead of it's time. We've simply stopped progressing technologically in the 80s

  36. @just9911  lifeboat numbers were irrelevant. More lifeboats would've caused more deaths
