Thanks for watching everyone. It means a lot. :)
I was like two weeks away from making a video about tides but now there's no point. Good job!
Atlas Pro do it anyway!
It's always better to have different perspectives!
Do it! Different perspectives are important.
No way, Atlas Pro?
Funny to see Caelan here !!
that doesnt mean you shouldent make it and there is a point diffrence in how you explain it using both explaitions is fery usefull
Everybody gangsta until the moons start aligning.
and the planet is fairly close to the sun. So yes...they're fecked...
@@honooryu5374 costal cities will be evacuated
Habitable world with 7 moons, they all align, CHAOS GO!
I've been in the bay of fundy on both low and high tides. The difference is ridiculous, you wouldn't be able to tell it's the same place.
I also almost drowned at one point when the tide was coming in there so hey that's a fun fact for you.
Glad to know you got out ok. I'd love to visit one day, it's on the travel list.
Its really strange to hear people talk about it like that. I live on it so tidal bores are completely normal to me.

7:31 Or some sentient life form develops in the water and make sea DeLoreans.
...Or is it even possible for underwater civilizations to exist?
Wait, that's actually not a bad idea for a video. Artifexian, have you ever thought of how an underwater civilization could develop? I feel like that would be quite an interesting topic to cover.
Sapient aquatic species, I see no reason why they couldn't exist - cetaceans and octopuses on Earth are already more or less straddling the line there.
But I doubt they'll be able to get technological civilisation going, for one simple reason: Being underwater means no fire, and no fire means no metallurgy or pottery.
@@zuthalsoraniz6764 What if they use underwater volcanos for metallurgy?
Nivirce Scrittore less control, they might just be killed by the boiling waters, plus why would they even attempt that?
This does need delving into further.
I think the general issue with octapodes is the whole "doesn't even live for a decade" thing... Metallurgy can be done using vents, though that will produce sulfides rather than carbides, but the more immediate problem is the lack of wood-like material, so they would need to use shell and what little bone is available (remember, aquatic life has less dense bone due to the lessened effect of gravity on said bones), so tool use is less common and thus slower to develop...
We get it Artifexian, you want your own Toyota Corolla
great vid tho
It's actually not a RealLifeLore thing. It's a StarWarsMinute thing were they sometimes use the starship enterprise as a standard unit of measurement.
*Gives prod a medal*
@@Artifexian I like the delorean measurement system your using. I think it should be a new standard for world building.
if you had no tides, you wouldn't need any DeLoreans to measure them
That's fair!
DeLoreans should be our new universal measurement unit.
Merritt Animation what about Toyota Corollas
We already have Tesla as a unit of magnetism if you don't use Gauss, so we got some competition already (not the kind Musk wanted, though).
That or the Starship Enterprise!
I'm on the fence. I'm partial to giraffes for height.
@@BonaparteBardithion to irregular, same problem with using the wall as a measurement, it gets 10ft higher at unpredictable intervals...

Do a video on creating animals and ecosystems. Maybe design a few 'base' animal skeletons, stretch and shrink various bones, and then match each new animal to a chart of ecological niches.
A Rat and a Kiwi bird fulfil similar roles - small ground dwelling omnivore (eating worms, seeds, fruits, and other foragables), has a bland brown/grey coloration to help it hide in the underbrush, has a highly developed sense of smell with long noses (either beak or snouts), and is near the bottom of the food chain.
So if multiple moons = larger intertidal zones, more moons = more crabs and saltwater amphibians?
All hail the coastal crabfolk overlords!

Oh, yeah! :/
Can you do a short bit on swamps, coral reefs and the relation between them?
I know it might be outside normal world building, But it could be important for the murfolk out there.
I swear to god im not joking; I had a dream that I was watching numberfile, and you poped out of nowhere onto the screen and said, "Hello numberphile, lets world build."
The tide-pocolypse sounds like the people eating tide pods
It would be one form of Tide-pocalypse, for sure.
So if we have monster tides on our hypothetical world, then would life colonize land super quick?
It's all speculation, but maybe. Then again maybe the force of monster tides will damage organisms in the intertidal zone. Maybe the ones that made it onto the land where will super armoured so something. Who knows. Again all speculation.
Artifexian I imagine trees with biogenic graphene reinforcing the stem, roots and branches so they don’t get completely destroyed, and they would use the monster tide to disperse their seeds. Maybe animals might develop a tidal sense that allows them to calculate the next high tide so they can flee in advance to safer land. That way they wouldn’t necessarily all be super armored, but they would use the flee strategy. Same could go for sea creatures. They could sense when the tide lowers so they could head out before they get beached. Maybe some will be armored with biogenic graphene. That’s my idea anyway.
Ohh this could be useful, especially if you are, like me, trying to find a way to develop complex life in the lifespan of a B-type star.
Hark my brethren! The Great Nerdy One hast gifted us with his divine wisdom in the form of a video.
Amazing work as always! It's impressive how you're able to simplify such complicated things. I'm really speechless here. Though I'm only interested in conlanging, thank you so much for your hard work (I'm a patron after all).
No probs. I need to stress though that this is not science. A scientists would be horrified at the simplifications worldbuidlers make. Please only take this is math worldbuilding.
Artifexian True all these are simplified a lot. But to give a basic understanding about the topic it’s great. No scientist starts in depth from the get go :)
I know what you're doing artifexian. You're making the most detailed fictional universe in history.
I want to see a video on writing music, in a way that ties in work worldbuilding and fictional cultures and the like.
Not worldbuilding, but Deciderata has the basics of harmony: czcams.com/video/1n4ulC4yR40/video.html
Adam Neely has some more advanced stuff about harmony and rhythm:
Harmonic Polyrhythms: czcams.com/video/_gCJHNBEdoc/video.html
Subharmonic Music: czcams.com/video/o4jgPdGrZYI/video.html
What is the fastest music humanly possible? czcams.com/video/h3kqBX1j7f8/video.html
What is the slowest music humanly possible? czcams.com/video/afhSDK5DJqA/video.html
Why is major "happy?" czcams.com/video/9rEqrPwVITY/video.html
Those are good, but they apply or invent theoretical or semi-physics-based frameworks to explain the unexplainable phenomenon of emotional reactions to music. This is an issue that plagues all of music theory, unfortunately. For instance, note how the first guy had to skip a fraction to generate one of many common chord progressions in popular music. I think the first guy’s second video on the subject, as linked in his description, would be more suited to OP’s question (I haven’t watched it just yet).
As for worldbuilding music cultures (a topic I myself am deeply interested in) you might want to simply study more in-depth how other music cultures work. Unfortunately there are very few resources about this sort of thing so you have to study it yourself.
Some excellent candidates for study: 1) Western music appreciation (music theory is too abstract), especially if you can only speak English. 2) Indian classical music, probably the most well-accounted music culture in history, perhaps even moreso than classical music. 3) Arabic music (unfortunately I don’t have the knowledge to be any more specific). 4) Gregorian chant. There are some rules behind them, although things like modes functioned as a categorization method more than anything specific.
As far as Western music appreciation goes, Inside The Score on CZcams is excellent. As for Indian classical music, Prince Rama Varma is an excellent pedagogue with lots of lectures on CZcams. However, his lectures do assume some basic knowledge first.
One more thing. This is a video about Ancient Greek music: czcams.com/video/4hOK7bU0S1Y/video.html
And you ought to read as much as you can about music from theoreticians centuries or even millennia ago. They had rhythmic modes, whose function gives you a clue about how the music culture itself worked.
One more one more thing. (This topic is very much of interest to me.)
When thinking of inventing music practices, a westerner is very inclined to think of functional harmony and such, triads and the like. However, harmony, the simultaneous sounding of different pitches, is a very western feature of music. It can be thought of as western music’s defining characteristic. Other music cultures have simultaneous sounding of different pitches, especially in the form of drones, like in Carnatic (South Indian) music. But western music is unique in the profound emphasis it places on harmony, the structural function and the emotion associated with it.
You might want to read up on medieval music, renaissance music and baroque music to look at the western conception of harmony and how it developed from monophonic Gregorian chant and improvised secular music.
0:28 the amount of time it takes for the "little correction cause of how the moon orbits" can be calculated by: time = day^2 / (month - day), where day is how long it takes your planet to rotate on its axis, and month is the lunar period. add that to your day length to get the total time it takes to rotate through 2 high tides and 2 low tides
essentially,
t=D^2/(M-D)
Oooh! Very cool.
global warming on a multi-moon planet would be insane.
Why?
3rror200 the sea level will rise, and the massive tide will make floods even worse.
Bay of Fundy+Multi-Moon Alighment+Solar Alignment+Monsoon Region+Monsoon Season+Global Warming=Really big fucking flood

Important note for tidally locked habitable moons: you still have solar tides. If youre working in the system of a low-mass star, the solar tides should easily be strong enough for tide pools worthy of would-be terrestrial life to happen.
Using artifexian calculator, your high tide will be the spring tide value, and your low tide will be the neap value. Whether you use the listed high or low is not important anymore, just find the difference between neap and spring.

Artifexian: D E L O R E A N S
Artifexian videos are always so inspiring, and bring to my attention the smaller details of my worlds that I've never considered before.
Aw, glad to hear that.
I live on the second-most dramatic tidally active inlet in the world, so I've always wondered about this. Thanks!
This was a great perspective as someone who's having a frozen exomoon who experiences "summer" by way of the planet it orbits having an uneven orbit around the suns, so this means that summer will be a time of not just mass glacial melting but scary tides!
Such a great vid, thanks!
Great stuff as always!
yay!!!! ive been waiting for a vid about tides and moons effects on them! :D
I just want to say, as someone who has been watching your content for a fair amount of time, your video editing/ quality is incredible. Not that is was bad before, but you’re seriously outdoing yourself now
Well, this blew my mind several times over. That was an amazingly informative video! Great timing, too, as I need tide information for my pirate novel.
I would outright pay someone to help me figure out how to get the ridiculous gigatide mangrove/reef savanna world I'm working on going....
Sound coool.
I love how direct you are and how short your intros are.
That you so much, Edgar! I I couldn't make heads or tails of this whole tidal thing. Thanks for breaking it down to us!
No probs. Glad to be of service.
@@Artifexian I have one problem though. How would I find the Semi-major axis tilt for my moons? I am so lost on the that front. And if what happens if a moon isn't tidally locked?
the visuals illustrate the point so well and clearly and simply well done!
Cheers, pal. :)
This... is genuinely impressive! I"m kind of intimidated and fascinated by this amazing video.
1,1k vs 2. What the heck is that thumbs ratio? Congrats! Exceptional but well deserved!
Thanks, pal.
*But Edgar* what about a moon of a gas giant with a few other major moons?
thats even more complicated
In this case the tidal forces can be so strong they heat the planet. Turning it into a mess of erupting volcanoes (also known as Io).
Ye, I had to stop somewhere before I lost my sanity. For a regular moon of a gas giant your can use the habitual moon bit of the calculator, just plug in the gas giants stats in the planet section. For simplicity sake, ignore the other moons. This isn't totally crazy given how dominant the tidal force of the gas giant will be.
you can also go to the source and solve laplace equations, but I seriously doubt anyone would want to...
@@Artifexian Yeah, I just looked at those equations.
Oh my.
I think a wee bit of laziness may be justified for maintaining sanity in this instance.
I'm impressed how much work you must've already put into the calculator as is.
Yay, GURPS Space! Love that book.
A video on ecology of inter-tidal zones would be hella cool.
fascinating stuff as always. I really enjoy the explanations at the beginning of each ep, which are complex enough to be engaging, without being overwhelming. You always go that extra mile to give us more information than we strictly need, and I really appeciate it.
I do try.
Fun video and informative video. Love your sense of humor as you present info. Keep up the great work!
Cool. Thanks, man.
This is your best video so far
Cool. That means a lot. :)
I love the very, very long pause at the end, while your blank face stares intently at the camera.
While I'm not involved right now in worldbuilding, I like this videos and this channel because I find it an interesting way to learns new things. Really a good channel.
BUT EDGAR!!!!
what about habitable moons in a multi-moon system?
It'll get super complicated. To keep your sanity only worry about the tides raised by the planet and ignore the rest. This isn't a crazy simplification to make given how dominant the tidal forces for the primary planet (likely a gas giant) will be.
I did it! It took me about 16 hours straight but I've developed equations to calculate it. You can play around with your own variables here: www.desmos.com/calculator/znsuonopre
BUT EDGAR what about habitable moons, in a multi moon system, with the planet being Earth-like AND A BINARY OR EVEN MULTIPLE STAR SYSTEM??!!!
@@squarekolt what is x_t in your desmos graph? I can't find it anywhere.
@@ARandomSpace That is overcomplicating things.
Informative video as always Edgar, especially in the various types of tides that could be generated from the interactions of the stars and moons, not to mention how tides could affect the flora and fauna of the coastlines. Not to mention answering the obvious questions before we even given the chance to ponder them, good on ya!
Admittedly, I actually forgot about GURPS mentioning tidal calculations until you mentioned it. Then again, you did go into deeper into the subject than the book ever did, so twice good on ya!
However, there is one question that needed to be asked: how do you map it or is it one of those " use your best judgement and what works with the setting you had in mind" kind of thing? I mean, you did kind of the same thing with the ocean currents video.
oh, earth spinning crazely fast around itself is so cute
7:30 A really uncreative and implausibly advanced oceanic lifeform? Space squids in time...
The GURPS Space reference made me smile. I remember The Fantasy Trip. I am old.
@bibulb Have you read Living Steel, Aftermath or The Morrow Project?
GURPS Space is absolutely fantastic.
One technical factor neglected is that the strong tides of water are mainly driven by surface tension due to water's strong hydrogen bonds allowing small tidal effects to be amplified. This has consequences if you want to build a fictional world with a different liquid than water as without water's enhancement factor tides would be fairly weak in comparison.
I honestly don't know of any other molecules with liquids that share this property either though I can't rule them out. Any chemists here?
Thats' fair but I'd definitely start handwaving at this point. I don't think there's anything horrifically wrong with giving an ammonia sea, for example, tides. Even significant ones.
I've been to the Bay of Fundy. My Mom and sister kept insisting we take this giant rock we found during low tide. It annoyed my Dad a lot. Eventually we took it all the way to Quebec and back to Ontario in a 10 or so year old van filled with a lot of other heavy stuff.
Where's the rock now?
@@Artifexian In our garden.
I've seen the tidal bore that comes up the Shubenacadie River from the Bay of Fundy ... from a sand bar in the river. It's an interesting experience. I was hoping you were going to go into mixed and diurnal tides when you brought them up, knowing where they occur would be a fun fact.
It seems like it's really complicated and down to local geography.
Ahahahaha, that's awesome that you're using DeLoreans as a standard measurement. XD Reppin' dat Irish auto pride!
Haha! Had no idea they were first manufactured in Northern Ireland. That's awesome. :)
Yep, they were! Even though John DeLorean was an American, and the DeLorean Motor Company was an American company, he outsourced manufacture of the DMC-12s to a factory in a suburb of Belfast in order to save on labor costs. But it's still a fun self-reference to use them as a standard measurement nonetheless! :3
The Firth of Forth here in Scotland has pretty dramatic tides, too. There’s a couple islands in the forth that can be walked to on low tide that are completely cut off during high tide
I was bummed that you did not refer to the description box as "the doobaly-doo." That in conjunction with your accent always make me smirk as I binge watch your older vids, such as this one.
Anyway, onto the actual question: I have been thinking about exploring Steampunk but know nothing about it. Could you do a series of videos on the various genre of literary universes? How to come up with the gist of the of a steampunk world? I know nothing, so I am not even sure if I am asking the right question. At any rate, I hope this helps you come up with an idea on your next mini-series on your channel. Keep up the good work. Your videos on world-building are the best on the internet. Keep it up man!
I just found your videos and basically spent the whole day watching them when I should have been doing other things. Such is life here on the internet I guess. I cannot tell you enough how much I appreciate the work you are doing and pray you continue.
I am not a math-minded individual and this video in particular illustrates your exemplary work; you give us both the elaborate formula for a more accurate representation and a simplified formula to help those of us who want a creative representation. For my own purposes, the creative formula gets me enough so I can move on to other aspects, effectively avoiding a kind of numbers-bogging-down writers block.
I am assuming you already have a list of videos you are working on and hope to add a couple ideas.
First, In terms of worldbuilding, I crave more info on terrestrial planets regarding geology/geography. The video on plate tectonics is a great start, but what about biomes, geological sediments, animal migrations, and animal/plant evolution/extinction. (I know, tall order).
Second, and hopefully easier, can you make a string of videos using your worldbuilding plans. The planets Peter, Petra, and Clorox come to mind as well executed examples. How would Petra and Peter be different with different tidal patterns? How would Clorox differ with three moons? You have a lot of work done already, but help me understand how they interact with one another.
Finally, do you have a Patreon account or some other way to help support the work you are doing? I have very little money, but I feel like you work is deserving of some compensation from somewhere. ya know?
*sees Laplace's equations*
*gets Vietnam-style flashbacks and cries*
I love all your videos keep it up. I've even seen other youtubers use world building because it's such a great idea. one was about place names. could you do something like that
Well if it's something someone else has done , I'm not going to be in a rush to do it.
+Artifexian all I mean is something to do with naming
Appreciate the topic as always, but if I could mention a vid idea I'm really curious about... Could you do a vid covering say the top 3-5 things that would change if earth spun the opposite direction?
Which reminds me i need to go to one of your past vids and try to figure out what would change if the continents were flipped... Always compelling love your work you're awesome.
If you go back and watch handful of videos you'll get a fairly good idea.
@artifexian if you could do a video about the effects of a ring/torus on tides that would be amazing. I'm especially interested in hearing about how it would impact tidal bulges moving north to south as a planet tilts.
But Edgar, what do I do if my moon has it's own moon? There would be spring tides, neap tides, major spring tides, minor neap tides, etc.
Yup! It gets super duper complicated unfortunately.
@@Artifexian But Edgar, what if the moon... of the moon... HAS A MOON???
one of the main reasons you get diurnal tides and micro tides is because the of the earths axial tilt wrt the moon, and mixed tides are (for the most part) kind of an in-between for diurnal and semi-diurnal tides.
micro tides happen mainly near the poles. given they're right next to the axis, they don't have much to "rotate" through, since the entire line of latitude is relatively in the same spot.
I clicked this expecting a video on tide pods
If you had a planet near a black hole you could potentially get tides that would cause massive waves like in Interstellar
If the planet had a ring how much do you think that'd effect the tides?
Oh, I don't know. Probably not much. BUT it would be affected by the tides of the primary and any other moons.
Did i miss something somewhere, or if a habitable moon is tidally locked that effectively means that there is no tide?
S1lva 139 there is no tide because the closest and furthest points of the moon are in perpetual high tide and the point at a 90 degree angle of them are in perpetual low tide
@@codyhodges1968 Thank you for some reason even when i watched it a second time it just didn't register. Also thank you for explain why there isn't one
There will still be solar tides, they will be smaller but if you have a lot of shallow oceans and funnel shaped bays then it could compensate to some extent.
Good point main thing i was thinking was using the tide as a form of subtraction power generation.
Side note if i understand things correctly a ridiculously long time after a "moon" is locked then given enough time it will eventually disintegrate into a ring around the "host" planet.
@@jimbuddha This is a good point.
6:10
The phenomenon you described is similar to that of Catatumbo Lightning, which occurres over the mouth of the Catatumbo River flowing into Lake Maracaibo, where lightning strikes up to 280 times per hour.
If this phenomenon where to occure over the Bay of Fundy, then the Maritimes would get a lot less boring.
To be fair, literally anything would make the Maritimes a lot less boring, including having the Cod back.
What a magnificent Video (as always)!
I wonder how tides might work in some sort of hollow earth scenario...
Would the effect of a moon create some sort of opposite tidal bulge in the hollow ocean as the water gets dragged to the outside?
(I am working on a complex world that includes a hollow world in addition to the outside world, two great world trees and three moons (and possibly also some sort of magical, inner moon an sun, but both aren´t worked out so much yet). To make it even more complex, there is an event in the history of the world, that will create global, semipermeable portals, that lead to another world with two moons, but that is another story.).
Apart from this, tides on a torus-world are also fun to imagine.
I love that you just invent the Delorean Height measurement system and stick to it. Quality humor there. #betterThanMetric.
Yay, I will try to avoid water stuff now. So big waves and small waves.
"seaweed can be foraged" Dúlamán gaelach!!! lso weird, brown algae made survival possible BUT the blight itself was a brown alga too.
I just worked out my tides and its dominated by the star but i think thats because my moons are small as i based their masses/distamces on rochelle limits and things from another Artifexian video.
A new video!!
Now my world can complete the Tide Pod challenge!
You must be a real back to the future fan
How would life be like on a planet highly inclined from the plane of the solar system? Would tides be affected? (Highly inclined meaning within 10 degrees of 90 degrees from the plane of the solar system).
First off, it would be extremely hardy. Secondly, it would probably evolve on the ocean floor and stay there for the most part because of harsh external conditions near the surface. Tunnelling species would do well, protected from the violent temperature swings, as would deep sea fish equivalents. Probably octopi would emerge as the best candidates for intelligent life.
@@sully9767 What your describing is what would happen with a planet that was highly eccentric orbit (the planet gets closer and farther from its star). That's different than what CR Smith asked, that was about a planet with highly inclined orbit (its orbit being tilted relative to the plane of the solar system). In that case the tides would not be affected much. The only thing different about an inclined planet is that its orbit does not line up neatly with the other planets, and the gravity of the other planets has a pretty negligible effect on tides.
I happen to live in that weird area of Australia that only has one tide a day.... never exactly thought about there normally should have been 2...... it’s always been tides out in the morning, and in in the arvo.
Other things to look out for in your world that could potentially produce interesting little bits of local flavour are things like straights connecting tidal bodies of water especially if they have islands relatively close to the coast. You get interesting phenomena like second high water and low water in each tidal cycle under those conditions due to the appearance and disappearance of the bow waves created as the water flow oscillates in the straight similar to those you get in places like Portsmouth and Southampton due to the Isle of Wright sitting off the coast in the English Channel. They are much smaller in amplitude than the main tidal pattern but it's one of those interesting bits of trivia worth looking out for as if there is a good way to use it that can add some depth to your world, especially for example in a world that doesn't yet have mechanical clocks the sailing time for a ship might be expressed as second high water. Things like tidal causeways connecting such islands can be interesting too there are some that flood again with a shallow fast flowing second high tide very shortly after it first becomes exposed can be very treacherous to non locals that don't understand the quirks of the local conditions as even shallow fast flowing water can sweep people off it.
I thought we were gonna get a video about mood this week. Oh well
Mood is next (after the QnA) I had a bit written about tides from the last video and I figured I may as well complete it. Not point letting good research go to waste.
Artifexian Ok thanks
petition to make deloreans the official tidal amplitude measurement
Are you going to make a video on number systems?
sea delorians
Another thing I'd like to point out is that minor moons should only be ignored if they're in high orbits. Phobos' tides on Mars are comparable to the Sun's. A vesta-sized moon would count as a minor moon, but if it's close enough, it will cause some pretty huge tides. What matters is the angular diameter and the density of the moon.
Some of the Great Lakes in North America get tides. Specifically the long narrow ones. I know Eerie gets pretty good tides. It’s also deep as hell for a lake.
I'm glad you expressed the hight of the tide in deloreans so our dear americans understand too
NOO! YOU CUT YOUR BEAUTIFUL HAIR!
(fun vid btw)
Artifexian ... it is NOT a description, it is a Doobly-do!
I know, but people were getting confused.
