Truly agree.
I seek salvation for the entity of Ra. Have a great day.
speculation. we are contained system.
You misunderstand. He’s not saying we’ve brought stuff in from space, he’s saying that we’ve created more synthetic stuff than there is all life on Earth (we’ve also killed a lot of life and turned it into dead junk).
@- what is all the stuff made of? stuff doesn’t appear from thin air.
Just a question if we get alot of the products we use from the earth then how are we making it more heavy besides the overpopulation?
@miklemikemuster what weighs more a ton of feathers or a ton of stone?
It’s not “more heavy”, it’s that the mass of all the synthetic stuff now outweighs all life on Earth.
@Commander Shepard That’s a specious comparison. It’s not a ton of feathers or stones, it’s a ton of synthetic junk vs less than a ton of living stuff.
@Commander Shepard You’re smoking too much stone.
@- what is the synthetic stuff made off. you cannot create matter from nothing.
Pure hogwash…all speculation and theory with no possiblity of proof.
truth.
And yet, you waive it off as if you disproved it by just saying it’s not true. 🙄 That’s even less correct. ¬_¬
@- and you have yet to provide any facts to your claims.
We’ve just put a lot of stuff on top of other stuff.
the metal weighs the same whether its in the ground or stacked 50stories high. all we have done is displace the weight.
so you’re saying we have to eat more…way ahead of you dude.
And soon humans will be going back to the dark ages.
you mean ‘stone age’?
why? and how?
Hey look it’s Nostradamus
The world has more synthetic crap than actual life. There are too many humans and too much stuff. 😒
no. we are a contained system. everything on our planet is in perfect synchronicity to create something requires the sacrifice of something else.
Out weigh? So did they calculate the weight of the planet? Impossible and ridiculous cause everything is made out of what we have on our planet. Incredibly stupid
I disagree for the simple fact that we dont even know completely whats on Earth. Plus humans arent going anywhere so our stuff is only going to grow. I think weve out numbered Nature for a long time with our selfishness and greed.
So true!
Just reshuffling existing mass around. Not really a big deal in terms of space and time. Ants and ant hills really.
exactly
This guy’s just bill nye on meth…. also you are exactly right
Brilliant deduction there, Einstein.
This guy is on Crack!

We’ve mined everything from underneath the earth’s surface and placed it on top.. hmm..
