Lewis Pugh's mind-shifting Mt. Everest swim
wie Sie tun, machen, Film, Beispiel
http://www.ted.com After he swam the North Pole, Lewis Pugh vowed never to take another cold-water dip. Then, he heard of Mt. Everest's Lake Imja -- a body of water at an altitude of 5,300 meters, entirely created by recent glacial melting -- and began a journey that would teach him a radical new way to approach both swimming and think about climate change.

+Lex_Ka The speaker is correct: Water expands when it's frozen (which is great for us b/c otherwise there wouldn't be life on Earth!). Ice is less dense than water, and this is why ice floats in water. It is due to hydrogen bonds, rather than to O-H bonds. Most solids sink when immersed in their respective liquid forms. I know your post was from four years ago, but I'm just now seeing it. Perhaps enough time has passed that you're ready to rewatch this Tedx Talk... It was so good! :)

Yes 59 people would like to reach their prisons.
-
Man made climate changes? hahhahahahaha
-
I want to go!
-
Where I come from, everyone knows Mt. Everest lies in Nepal, but reading your comment i realized most Americans need that information.
-
@Nepal5Tube I thought the same thing when he was listing those countries!
-
Am I the only one watching the start thinking "wow, what an idiot"?
-
how can 59 people not like this its so inspiring. we all can learn from this man. learn how to reach are own gaols and learn how are life can aid the plaint rather than hurt it

@hughtub why do you call me a suicidal fool? because I am not reproducing??
-
@hughtub This guy isn't an alpha male--he's an egotistical jerk. You can be sure he will have children exactly for this reason. Have two and be done with it is all I am saying.
-
@scrubjay93 Suicidal fool. People who would raise their children responsibly should be having the MOST children, not the least. This guy should have dozens of kids, an alpha male as he is. Beware of using the term "we" when OTHERS are the problem. If you are part of the solution, expand your existence and presence in the future, i.e. offspring.

@scrubjay93 Fool. People who would raise their children responsibly should be having the MOST children, not the least. You damned suicidal fool.
-
@Pasteldqueijo Liquid Water is actually denser than ice.
-
@Machomatscho Just have one child and that helps. Personally, I decided not to have any.
-
freezing expands? i thought heat expanded and cold condensed... wich is why ice is denser than water and thus floats and also the reason hot air is lighter than cold air..

@tyrannicoystercult Part 4: we have gone to the depth of the oceans. we have been to the moon. We have looked into the darkest places of the universe and we realized that they are full of galaxies... don't tell me we cannot feed and provide propper education and health care for everyone on this earth -- this is the least we owe to ourselves. TIll then we'll never ever be able to sort out all the other problems such as climate change, polution etc etc... First we walk -- then we'll run and jump!

@tyrannicoystercult Part 3: Yes-- currency exchange is the mean by which the ''stronger nations'' keep the ''weaker nations'' as they are --- divide and conquer. Making some less to be more. With a global currency this would not happen and the amount of hours you work in zimbabwe or in england is valued equally. Its up to us to make this work. The belief that is impossible will have us never try. There is a way - there is always a way if that is our will.

@tyrannicoystercult Part 2: The resources on this planet were already here before we ''arrived''. They belong to no one -- yet some believe they have the right to claim it their own and use it for their own personal gain -- this is fucked up. All the resources of the planet must be equaly AVAILABLE to everyone acording to necessity. Of course -- we will work -- otherwise we'll starve --- thus we keep on being responsible for ourselves -- in fact we we'll be responsible for everyone's well being

@tyrannicoystercult Part 1: Equal money implyed that everyone has the equal right to life -- its about changing the value we give to money --- its about VALUYING LIFE EQUALY. The ''money'' is the means by which we guarantee that. Life was given to you for FREE - you had to do nothing! So - a FREE equal amount of money to guarantee your phisical existence is a simple solution to stop the abuse of life in the name of greed and self -interest.
