A YouTuber who wants to teach the world to love science gave his followers an important lesson this week: Abandon your experiment if you’re living dangerously on the edge.
Kurtis Baute announced in August that he was constructing a 10 foot by 10 foot biodome and that he would try to live inside the airtight structure for three days in the company of about 200 plants that he hoped would be effective enough to give him fresh oxygen. He didn’t last nearly that long.
Instead, he had to abandon the biodome after about 15 hours because the carbon dioxide levels rose to dangerous levels. Still, Baute, who has 5,300 subscribers on his YouTube channel, termed the experiment a success.
