Retard here, I have several questions for Grandiose projects and also physics, engineering questions.
So they talk about Florida and Louisiana sinking into the Ocean, but what if we dug a really deep trench off the coast of Louisiana and Florida respectively, to train the water into? Is the Ocean just to big for that to work, could we use the dirt dug up from the Ocean trench to raise the altitude of Florida and Louisiana?
Second question, would it be Feasible to dig and Underground canal Across the Continental United States? Why underground? To avoid the Ecological damage that would ensue from splitting the U.S. in half.
Why don't we make Satellites that are Spherical and Spinning as to Produce gravity?

This doesn't answer the question, please enlighten me or I'll be damned to a low IQ for eternity.

>Is the Ocean just to big for that to work
the location of your trench is irrelevant, it could be anywhere because what you'd actually be doing is lowering the ocean by digging up the seabed and taking it somewhere else
it's not theoretically impossible, but it's far too impractical, in fact many other extremely impractical projects are very practical in comparison to this
>could we use the dirt dug up from the Ocean trench to raise the altitude of Florida and Louisiana?
that's infinitely more reasonable than moving the ocean like you suggested before, but still stupidly impractical, moving entire mountain ranges worth of material is not going to happen
>Second question, would it be Feasible to dig and Underground canal Across the Continental United States?
feasible? you mean economically? no, it would be an economic disaster
it also wouldn't help with the problem of... splitting the us in half? i have no idea where you're going with that
>Why don't we make Satellites that are Spherical and Spinning as to Produce gravity?
because there's no need for gravity on unmanned satellites, it is a good idea for large manned space stations that will have long term crew and passengers though, since the human body needs gravity to survive long term, however we've never built a space station of that scale so it's never come up yet

Yep you can just dig, terraforming was and is a thing, so far the desperate need ain't there but when it is people will just shovel or run

Of course economically it would be unwise if not downright implausible but from a pure technological and engineering perspective is it possible?
What I mean by splitting the U.S. in half is literally splitting it in half, if you build a canal underground you can avoid the Ecological consequences of a body of water running down the middle of a country.

It wouldn't work because all the weight of the dug up earth would make wherever you placed it sink into the ocean. Its kind of a robbing peter to pay paul situation.

i mean sure, tunnels exist, you could in theory take a tunnel anywhere, just look up the longest tunnels, how much they cost, multiply that with however much longer you want your tunnel to be, and then ask yourself if a country can make it, and with really extreme projects also if humanity as a whole can afford to make it in terms of available resources and work
>What I mean by splitting the U.S. in half is literally splitting it in half, if you build a canal underground you can avoid the Ecological consequences of a body of water running down the middle of a country.
i think that wouldn't solve any ecological consequences, you'd just have one narrow road underground
i suggest investing in a ferry service instead

Ernest Jones, in 1913, was the first to construe extreme narcissism, which he called the "God-complex", as a character flaw. He described people with God-complex as being aloof, self-important, overconfident, auto-erotic, inaccessible, self-admiring, and exhibitionistic, with fantasies of omnipotence and omniscience. He observed that these people had a high need for uniqueness.

There are thousands of way to fix those problems, like using the corpses of democrats and neocons to create a wall against the Ocean.

Anon... the ocean has a surface area of roughly 360 million sqkm. So in the most basic of approximation, you're looking at digging out 360,000 cubic km of earth in order to displace the world's ocean depth by a single meter. We're talking about digging out an entire mountain range's worth of dirt (that you're digging out from underneath several kms of water and need a place to put it), to barely make a dent on the sea level.
