You're floating at the exact center of nowhere. In every direction, there's nothing but water to the horizon — no ship, no plane, not another human being for thousands of miles. Your closest neighbors aren't on the planet at all. They're orbiting 250 miles above your head.

In this video, you'll learn about Point Nemo, the single point in any ocean farthest from land in every direction — and what actually happens to the human mind when it's left there with nothing to look at but identical water and identical sky. You'll discover the real psychological phenomena researchers have documented in extreme isolation, from sensory deprivation to hallucinations to a documented condition called the break-off phenomenon. You'll also learn why this exact coordinate has become a graveyard for retired spacecraft, and why space agencies use the same isolation research to prepare astronauts for future missions to Mars.
