Watched this whole thing with a wet face. So relaxing.
Please say: “Thanks for watching Adriana”. Next time. My niece watches your shows with me every week, and would love the shout out.
There is any way to bump this? Well this is old idk if he did it, that would be cool for your niece.
@@OmarFeliciano I agree.....too bad youtube comments aren't like those on Reddit.
Hulk most certainly has the strength to jump into space. Does the ground have the ability to allow the transfer of energy necessary to do it? That is the real question.
There's also the question of drag through the atmosphere. Remember that goes up with the velocity squared. Try to go faster in order to get into space quicker and avoid the drag and you've actually just increased the drag.
I’m no comic book expert, but hasn’t he already done it? In the storyline where he gets so angry he can destroy planets (world breaker hulk) doesn’t jump from one planet to another?
He could kick off the air if he wanted to.
@@KCUFyoufordoxingme nooo
WELL ACTUALLY... :D
* The torpedoes do not have to travel 60km after entering the exhaust port. The dialogue clearly states that the port leads directly to the reactor system, but also that the torpedoes will set off a chain reaction that will destroy the station. The (rather lowres) animation shown at the briefing also demonstrates this with graphics of the explosions getting larger as they descend into the station until arriving at the core.
* Also. Star Wars clearly states that the weapons are "lasers" but also show particle/plasma like subluminal beams or bolts. This could mean that the lasers are used to energise and accelerate the particles rather than using them directly. This would still legitimately earn the weapons the moniker "laser" just as guns are often referred to as "FIRE"arms, despite the actual damaging mechanism being terminal kinetic energy poisoning.
Perhaps the Death Star's "laser" just needs to bore a temporary cavity to the planet's core, where the visible particle beam then delivers a payload of antimatter. The antimatter then trapped in the high density core reacts with the core and causes a cascade of annihilations as it boils outwards. The density of the planet itself attenuating the emiitted gamma rays into a cascade of nuclear reactions that releases more fission energy and attenuates the rays into heat that blows the planet apart.
Just a thought. (or three)....

Please explain the physics and drawbacks of the Omnitrix from Ben 10.
Yes!
This I like my 3rd or 4th time asking. Though I'm not super aggressive if he doesn't because I know how much time and work goes into these videos.
I don't think that could be explained with physics, it's more to do with biology and genetics.
yess, I'd like to see if there is any way to explain that
probably the same problem of ant man
the mass can't change without being a nuke or be a black hole for energy

My man, would you consider talking about the Mimics of Prey 2017?
Thank you for bringing this up. Not only that, but the implications of mimics...being post it notes.
what a great game, good suggestion.
I want this to happen
Heh, have I ever told you the definition of insanity?
If a mimic from Prey took on the form of a Predator, would it be predator or prey? 🤔

4:35 oh now you're just *luke* ing for puns
also, the deathstar's "laser" isn't a laser... it uses giant kyber crystals to form the beam, just like a lightsaber... so it would be the same material as a saber (which is why they can converge on a single point instead of passing through 13:17)... sooo if you call a lightsaber plasma, the deathstar's "laser" would also be plasma. with all that said, the beam would then be matter and thus have mass..
darcraven01 which would make the recoil even worse...
true, though im wondering if the angle of the smaller beams has anything to do with that...probably not but maybe?
FryingPan Why would that automatically make it worse? The reason the calculation comes out so bad with it being a laser is because it's traveling at the speed of light. If it was plasma it's no longer light so not traveling at that speed. If a plasma beam was fired and even though it has more mass, if it was traveling a lot slower then the recoil would be way less. Note that you can physically see the beam traveling in Star Wars, so it's going nowhere near the speed of light.
Then it would technically be a Matter Beam.
Fabio Lacap Haha gotta love puns.
"It's not stressful. We're learning." My new catchphrase for when everything is going to shit.
This guy is fricking hilarious in a sciency way.

"You missed. You shoulda turned off your targetting computer."
Tyrannosaurus-REKT!
The Death Stars use kyber crystals to energies ion cannon fire so the Death Star is basically a giant light saber that lasts a small amount of time
How far can the Deathstar's blade reach? Wouldn't it make more sense to call it a giant blaster, and not a giant lightsaber?
It was built as an open ended blade like swinging your Wii controller or a sword with a blade that was not fastened down so it activated and the power shot out and with no real control to it the planet was destroyed from the inside out (like a nuked jaw breaker :). And blasters are basically a gas launcher not a laser weapon.
TiagoTiago it would be more like a giant lightsaber because of the kyber crystals. blasters did not use kyber crystals.. blasters could be powered using "Dedlanite" and used different gasses to create the bolt colors and effects (stunning, burns, bleeding, etc.)
Basically the death star was a giant force gun. Kyber crystals use some from of electrical energy to generate a magnectically sealed plasma blade via the force (kyber crystals are a basically a force conduit). The death star is essentially the same but on a brokenly epic scale. And because star wars tech has more in common with actual magic than science its possible to do all this in such a way as not to actually apply recoil because space magic, and its in a galaxy that seems to have its own laws of physics and is full of people who are genetically conditioned to not understand the most basic of military tactics in the first place.
So true
I know I'm a bit late on this one, but I just thought of something... In Return of the Jedi, the Death Star is close enough to the surface of the moon that it can be easily seen from the ground and looks almost as big as our moon, despite being a lot smaller than that. This means the Death Star would have to be orbiting REAAALLY close. Since the Death Star isn't just a solid ball of metal and is at least 50 to 60% hollow, wouldn't Endor's gravity itself be enough to put a lot of stress on the station's structure due to the nearer side of the station to the moon experiencing a grater gravitational pull than the farther side? Could this force alone rip it apart just like what Jupiter does to comets that get too close?
I think it's pretty well established throughout all Star Wars media that in gravity can be cancelled with technology.
But this is Because Science. Chalking everything off to lazy writing would defeat the point of the show. XD
That super nerd comment is a joke entirely stolen from a college humor video, it’s very funny, because that video was very funny.
Max Heim-Salgado this needs to be seen by kyle and justice served.
That SuperNerd™ title needs to be taken away!! It was practically word-for-word from the engineer who designed the Death Star skit!
KickyFut every1 please upvote op so kyle sees it
Yeah I saw that, hilarious because it's true.
I would have gave him a pass if he didn't actually say magic space wizards. Plus magic space wizard sounds kinda redundant, what kind of wizard doesn't use magic?
I have always assumed that part of Galen Erso's genius was that he solved for the stability of an Einstein-Rosen Bridge (or rather a whole bunch of them), so that the Death Star's LASER is actually a spherical array of lasers pointing at a few different points within the Death Star, emerging at or near the cannon port of the Death Star, and then a secondary set of them (immediately next to the Death Star) that would re-focus them all pointing forward. If this *wasn't* the case, then why would the Death Star have been so difficult to engineer in the first place, such that the Empire would expend the ridiculous resources required to go on a galaxy-wide manhunt for a former engineer?
It use kyber crystals (yes it is cannon) to turn the Death Star into an open ended light saber and cooked the planet like a nuked jaw breaker
What about a semi orbital focusing array ? A device positioned away from the Death Star at the theoretical convergence point of the lasers that would both focus them into a single beam and then redirect them at the desired target ?
@@tommorrissey5037 this makes way more sense
@@machochocolate7679 Thank you. :)
You forgot to mention the power to use said laser would mean a power system that would literally make the station implode due to gravity.
Because Because Science with Kyle Thor Hill!
Wow. Such science. Much knowing. Smart boi.
It's okay. I love puns. I can stand the "pun"ishment.
There is a scientific explanation for how Star Wars beam weapons work, Negative Matter, NM. While not ever observed, it is theoretically possible that matter of negative mass exists. If a civilization could harness that it would explain a great many things in Star Wars, but let's start with converging beams and lightsabers. While referred to as lasers and and laser swords, what if, in fact the Kyber Crystals used by the Death Star Super Laser, DSSL, and Light Sabers, LS, are in fact a means by which to harness and control and NM? The glow we then see if a magnetic plasma (cold plasma) used to contain and isolate the NM. In a converging beam weapon like the DSSL, the individual beams act like giant LS's and keep the NM in place until enough has built up to reach critical mass for the target (A ship, a city, a planet), at which time an impulse laser forces the NM down the magnetic containment beam into the target.
Tarkin's single reactor shots would indicate that the DSSL reactors might run, or contain, NM so that allows the DSSL to have a variable yield.
Similarly, an NM core LS would explain how they react. LS have been seen to bounce off normal matter unless forced into them, and even a saber lock, where two LS's come into contact and remain together, are ended first, but forcing the LS's together. See, once the the magnetic cold plasma shell is breached, NM will repel normal matter, so when swung with enough force they would create a cutting edge (assuming say the beam is only a few atoms thick) and the cold plasma would cauterize the wound. Similarly, if two LS come into contact, the NM cores would attract to one another. But, due to the nature of NM, pulling will not separate them, but pushing would.
This could actually from the core of all Star Wars weapons and tech (repulsor lifts, hyperdrives, etc...) The crystal fuel source from Solo could be an expendable version of the crystals needed to harness NM, whereas Kyber Crystals are far more stable and last longer.
Anyway, just a thought.
I love this, I have to remember it
This show is so dope, learn something new everytime!! This time it literally took less than a minute👍🏾👍🏾
What if they built the death star lazer on a planet to solve the density issue?
LIKE STAR KILLER BASE...
That thing is even more scientifically inacurate then the death star (if it is even possible)
He mentions in the video this footnotes is to that even a planet would be pushed back by the force of the laser. And since the recoil will hit the crust of the planet first, you may just end up breaking the planet open like a lava filled egg.
SKB was even worse. It took the matter from an entire sun, and threw it across interstellar distances. Every shot would destroy the solar system it’s in, and fling the entire planet across the stars. Likely at speeds faster than the deathstar would be propelled at, since it’s just dealing with the momentum of the light, and not the combined mass of a star.
And that would catapult SKB into a completely different franchise.
Kacper Malinowski Your probably right. The star killer base weapon systems are probably impossible, but
the idea of making a planet into a weapon with a lazer (the size of the one on the Death Star) is definitely less dangerous considering that it would have almost the same mass as a planet. AND unlike the Death Star most of it wouldn’t be hollow. I’m not sure if this amount of increased mass would be enough to counter the acceleration, but it would most definitely accelerate slower, possibly at a survivable speed.
"Most impressive" is an Empire Strikes Back reference

Can a gas be more dense then a liquid?
Can the liquid float on it?
(considering standard condiction: 25 °C, 1 atm)
No. I really don't think this is possible. A gas has no internal binding between particles, they can be as far apart from each other, a gases particles must be bounded by interaction impacting a boundary (or other containment force). A liquid has binding between neighboring particles, meaning they have to be close enough to experience a bond, and has a specific volume. Both of these statements are bounded by temperature and pressure, of course. What can bound a gas in such a way that something can float on it. It would not work by many definitions.
Not at 1atm. If you remove the pressure requirement? Sure. You can float NaK (sodium/potassium alloy) on xenon gas.
Floating is a density problem, and things will float in any fluid which they are less dense than. It's not a question of "binding gas" or you wouldn't be able to float a balloon!
Alright, normally I don't comment because I don't have much to say but you are overlooking a crucial part of the Star Wars Universe. I didn't state this in the last video because I too forgot about it until now.
Acceleration isn't a problem in the Star Wars Universe:
I repeat. ACCELERATION ISN'T A PROBLEM IN THE STAR WARS UNIVERSE!
Ships "jump" to light speed all the time, without the occupants becoming paste from the rapid acceleration rate. I don't know precisely how fast they're reaching light speed, but it happens in a matter of seconds (faster, even, if you exclude hyperdrive warmup time) so their acceleration rate is DEFINITELY lethal.
How this is accomplished safely is unexplained, but I have a theory. Kinetic Energy exchangers. This is a fantastical universe. If lasers and light speed hyperdrive is a thing, we can have energy exchangers capable of controlling the amount of kinetic energy a system has. Hyperdrive computers likely contain massive energy exchangers that transfer the heat energy from the ship's engine into kinetic energy that is directly injected into every molecule of every item of mass inside the ship (this would also explain why larger ships tend to be faster). Because the force of acceleration then becomes internal instead of external, everyone accelerates safely because they aren't actually feeling the acceleration or deceleration rates. They're just suddenly moving.
If this is the case, a station the size of the death star could easily harness it's massive heat output into kinetic energy via kinetic energy exchangers, but instead of flooding the entire station with kinetic energy, it would flood the light particles in the laser. This would cause the light to suddenly be moving extremely fast (about the speed of light) in a single, focused direction, without the need for external acceleration forces.
I always thought that the point of hyperspace is that the ships shift into a parallel dimension whose respective distances are smaller than those in the physical universe, thereby avoiding the need to move quickly in order to get places. Although it could be that hyperdrives are explained differently somewhere within that universe.
Xanthanarium - since it's all fantastical the Death Star and FTL ships' science probably includes Inertial Dampening which accounts for that sudden acceleration.
What it works as is a force generated by the ship's energy that is designed to reinforce the structure of objects within their perimeter. The forces are such that objects maintain their size and true mass but behave like hyper dense objects in relation to their external environment with attraction towards the designated floor/down direction to approximate internal gravity.
C'mon guys, they have inertial dampeners and gravity well projectors. Acceleration means nothing because they have machines to counteract inertia and gforces.
Bleeding Raindrops, I just realized the same thing. (According to Legends [RIP]) Inertial Compensators are used to prevent this problem, and can either dampen (for starfighter pilots) or remove entirely (jumps to hyperspace) the effects of inertia.
Xanthanarium, Hyperspace is either the bending of space in such a way that the space in front of the ship is smaller, and the space behind is larger, or moving faster than light. This is why you need to calculate your path with a NavComputer so that you don't run into planets or black holes, and cause a similar reaction as seen in The Last Jedi.
wait, so... my theory is actually canon (or used to be) but it just has a different name?

For the deceleration bit, it's very much a "you can't stop, it's too dangerous! We have to slow down first!" situation.
I have to make a little correction/addition
Vaders mother might not have been just a Genetic Chimera, she might have been a Genetic Mosaic.
With a Mosaic such as swyers syndrome , where the genetics are male but the body female due to a broken Y chromosome , the offspring could be a genetic clone of the parent. all the force would have to do is 'fix' the Y chromosome in the offspring, and Anakin is born.
Giving "The Clone Wars" a whole new meaning.
But with swyers syndrome she probably couldn't have kids.
True, but with the all new space-magic, anything is possible!
Fertility would be greatly affected, but it's not impossible. About half the "egg" cells would have a Y chromosome, but throw enough feces at a wall...
I'm hoping everyone realizes that when his mother stated, "There was no father... etc" that she meant he was not involved in any way of Annie's upbringing. Not that it was immaculate conception... or space magic. (She was prolly raped)
With regards to Shmi Skywalker and the missing male chromosomes, the correct answer is obviously "amphibian DNA"
Jeese Kyle, do you even Jurassic Park??
How did virgin Mary give birth to Jesus? Where did the male DNA come from?
I think “pasty-ketchup-gooify” should become a standardized term in sci-fi
It will be what they call the effect of a black hole's tidal forces once Einstein's Theory is meshed with Quantum Theory... we just needed to realize the sphagettification needed some pasty-ketchup-gooify. And now the whole thing works.
We already have "chunky-salsa-fy".

Since you did the Death Star (Star Wars) how about doing a video on the Genesis Device (Star Trek)?
Also I'm thinking there would be some sort of -initial- inertia dampeners that would compensate for all those acceleration forces, without one every time a ship (in Star Wars or Star Trek) accelerated past light speed, they would paste just like in your Death Star example.
Bernard Gilbert Star Trek says in every series, they use inertial dampers.
It’s when they get battle damaged, or overloaded by battle. That the crew gets flung around.
Yeah that's what I was thinking too.
Inertial dampeners/compensators are pretty much assumed by anyone watching sci-fi where ships accelerate to even a significant portion of light speed in a short time who also knows a little about physics.
The last 30s of this video really made my day. It was exactly what I needed to hear during a rough patch a work.
Thanks Kyle Odinson.
blasters, lightsabers and even the death star super "laser" are all actually plasma and force field technology. so imagine a super hot plasma contained inside a form of ray shield.
Side note: These momentum and acceleration considerations are part of what makes "The Expanse" so cool. Its one of the few franchises that take actual physics and realities of life in space into direct account in their story lines! (If you haven't seen it and read the books... what are you waiting for?)
9:45-ish Orrrr, it's just Palpatine snowing Anakin with a lot of flim-flam. The senator is scarcely the most reliable source of info.
Palpatine could also be genuine in relating that information, but still wrong/mistaken. Just because a character states something as fact doesn't mean that information is true.

It seems that the artificial gravity would indeed be a fix to the recoil problem. The reason I say this is because artificial gravity is essentially inertial control. The ability to direct inertial mass in any direction you need to create gravity. Star Trek calls them inertial dampeners, but essentially, that is the system that keeps their feet on the deck and bodies from plastering against the bulkheads when they accelerate.
On the reflex deal you can also test it on a baby/infant. If they are crying just blow in their face and they will clam up and stop for a bit. Don't do this if you just want your baby to stop crying because you are an awful parent.
Darn I was just about to go do this :P
Works for many rodents when they are biting you too.
The Death Star was overkill for fighting rebels, yes. But I do believe that it was meant to fight a far greater threat somewhere in the SW universe

I actually splashed water on my face right before he said to since I was taking my contacts out while listening to the video...it was kinda weird timing
Pufferfish Art I feel you dude
Didng
16:07 wait... momentum is mass and velocity... so how does light have momentum but no mass?!
Wouldn't the only way to create artificial gravity (other than acceleration) be by manipulating mass? Since the floors of the death star appear to be arranged like the floors of a building and people still walk around normally I think there would have to be some way they are increasing the mass of the floor beneath the peoples' feet to cause that earth-like gravity. And if they can do that, I think increasing the overall mass of the death star when firing the laser would be relatively easy.
Presumably they have some control over the Higgs field if they have artificial gravity, which seems to exist in every ship in the star wars universe.
abcd efgh We don’t actually know. some of the Star Wars EU claims it’s manipulating gravitons.
But, how do you make a science-based video on something we have no empirical knowledge of, like gravitons?
In whatever manner the Death Star's artificial gravity works I think the original "but..." comments were aimed at utilising that same tech to counter the laser-firing induced acceleration. It would come down to using (close to, let the superstructure take some of the strain) the same amount of energy that is in the laser to ramp up the artificial gravity to counter the acceleration. 'Gravity' is/causes an acceleration, so artificial gravity can do that.
Artificial gravity can be created with energy, that is electricity, since the stress-energy tensor in the Einstein field equations includes an electromagtic field tensor. The energy requirements? I do not know.
Drkwll we don’t actually know that, but it’s likely not true. Gravity is totally separate from the EM spectrum, so it likely can’t be made with energy from it.
We can make simulated gravity by spinning an object, but I think that’s not the kind of artificial gravity he’s talking about. We just don’t know enough about how gravity is actually made(ex: we don’t know if gravitons actually exist), to even think, we would know how to make true artificial gravity.
No, we do know that the stress-energy tensor in the Einstein field equation can include the electromagnetic field tensor. Why don't you check them out before you conclude that we don't know that and that it's not likely true? Here's something to help you, check out the mass-energy equivalence. We do not need any knowledge of graviton to know this. The electromagnetic field tensor includes an electric field term.
17:11 someone was watching the "Dorky" Video about the Death Star Architect... was even using quotes and keywords...
The death star is flat
With regards to the beams combining I always thought there must be some kind of focusing device floating out there like a crystal or something that bent the light in the right direction
How dense with light would a laser need to be to bounce off another laser? Is this even possible?
Chris Young
Nope. Light by it's definition, has no Mass. No Mass, no density.
Dick Marx but has electric charge so yeah it can still bounce off if dence enough.
Barry Bend
Right. Didn't think of that. As long as there's charge, there's force. As long as there's force, there's repulsion/attraction, right? You win.
It was done with Kyber crystals :)
light acts like waves while travelling and as particles while interacting with objects and as I know of waves can’t interact with each other.
Mass well generators from the Empire's interdictor cruisers solves the recoil problem easily and were probably incorporated into the design. Seriously... they can create a localized mass effect (see what i did there?) That tricks ship based hyperdrives into thinking there is a whole planet there. Just to be clear... they can produce a gravity well the size of a planet. Negating recoil on a laser is simple.
Oh, on top of that last comment, the second Death Star's "shield generator" is located on the surface of Endor, meaning the Death Star would have to stay in the same spot above its surface at all times in order for the shield to work. Assuming Endor has about the same gravity as Earth and from the aforementioned previous comment how close the Death Star is orbiting, how is it not falling and burning up in the atmosphere? The International Space Station needs to orbit so fast it makes one full circle around earth every 20 minutes, so unless Endor has days that are no more than 20 to 30 minutes long, the Death Star simply wouldn't be able to hover over one spot as is orbits around it for very long without dropping out of the sky.
Ace .There is a type of orbit, called a geostationary orbit, where a body in orbit stays above a certain spot of the planet it's around. Additionally, the Death Star has engines and can move, or keep itself in place.
Ah okay, fair enough. Still my point about Endor's gravity affecting it being so close still stands, right?
1: Have you seen how big the thing is? It isn't just going to burn up.
2: Pending...
The Death Star is mostly hollow remember, meaning the outer hull would start to burn up, then the innards would be exposed to the heat and turbulence. Plus, again, that same turbulence would almost certainly rip it to shreds.
For that matter, how did that space ship Anakan and Obi Wan "landed" at the beginning of Revenge of the Sith not completely burn up when the entire rear end of it sheared off?
That was the most inspirational ending quote of all time.
The Antimatter would explode as soon as it hits the Atmosphere, so it would work even worse, than you proposed...
Kim Schröder hell if literally any speck of space dust was in the way it would blow up
Apathetic Nomad yes you're right. And like, since when is anti matter bright green...
If at all. It might be ecploding before the matter and antimatter even left the deathstar. Causing MASSIVE damage inside of it
Is anyone able to answer this for me? : Since the Death Star would fire lasers, wouldn't a gigantic mirror just reflect it? I know it is silly, but I am legitimately intrigued
Part of the mirror will get burnt and part of the laser beam will reflect, if it is not a perfect mirror.
@@Drkwll but what if it was an perfect mirror? wouldn't it would just reflect considering the law of williams mrmcbigdik?
ok the Deathstar works on a gravity drive, creating artifical gravity and negating the recoil of the primary weapon. QED.
nah -- KH
As he explained gravity doesnt help. Youd have to change its mass.
Pull the people back at the same rate as the death star is being pushed by recoil, and they don't experience the acceleration. We don't actually feel gravity, as we feel the matter on the ground pushing back. If you apply the same concept to artificial gravity, you can have inertial dampening due to the crew merely "dropping" in the same direction as the Death Star's recoil.
As has been said by people afraid of heights everywhere: "I'm not afraid the fall will kill me, I'm afraid the sudden stop will."
kirknay 15:09. Changing your weight doesnt help. Firing your rockets in opposite direction is same as the train so wont help. So using gravity as another engine sufferes the same problem. And even if it all worked, youd still squash the death star into a pancake from the massive sudden opposing forces.
We're not talking about moving the death star using artificial gravity, we're talking about pulling the people *inside* the death star using artificial gravity. Sure, it can result in some pull on the death star, but what's going to move more? One massive battle station, or thousands of small humans? The thing we need to pull is the people so they don't go splat on the nearest wall to the laser side, and we're good.
Hey Kyle, two things : On Star Trek they have a technology called "inertial dampeners", would such a thing be of any use concerning the Death Star problem ? Second, what if the Death Star was moving away (backwards) from it's target when it fired the super laser ? Would that negate the acceleration of the laser ?
Rewatching this, and the thought came to me: what about intertial dampers? Those are a canonical thing in Star Wars, which for example help fighter pilots pull maneuvers without feeling the G’s that come along with those maneuvers. Could the Death Star have the same kind of technology? How would that technology work? Would it increase the mass? 🧐
You actually had one other thing that doesn't make sense Kyle, and if you can Star Wars lore or whatever, if you want, but the remainning fact is you'd be a virgin for your entire life, which Anakin Skywalker went against this universal decision amongst all jedi! (Quite unfair, ain't it doc?
When he says that "oh hello" it kind of reminds me of Elmer Fudd
I had to make sure it existed because I couldn't recall for sure that it did in Star Wars but "Gravitational Technology" was used to handle the recoil of the Death Star shooting the beam. It's the only way they could use a weapon like that to destroy a planet. Also, you already commented about how the laser beams shouldn't connect before shooting in a straight line together.
The new Star Wars canon has further detailed that Darth Sidious used his training from his master Plagueis to use the Force to create Anakin. So he probably assembled the other half of the genetics with the Force, possibly using his own DNA as a blueprint.
Any chance you could cover something from Warhammer 40k? Like how the Tyranids work?

I think they manipulate space-time, and particles causing things to move towards you fast like an ion engine and cause it to be shorter than it should
Considering their use of tractor beams and crystals, could they suspend a crystal at the convergence point allowing a storage of power until the desired power level is reached? Would this allow less energy being expelled in an instant burst and provide a more manageable recoil?
Kyle, i have one question for you! Can you build a space ship that uses laser(like death star laser) that is constanly increasing its power to produce trust, and get you near the speed of light?
Kyle a common theory is that anakin immaculate conception was the result of Darth Plegius’ experiments in the force and Plegius is a male so maybe that where Y chromosome comes from
I liked that last line from this video. So long as you are doing what you are passionate about and you are improving yourself at it, you are successful.
By far your funniest video to date.
Thank you for giving me a great gut laugh.
The death star lasers converge with the carrier beam at the focal point of the targeting field generator which bends the beams into one conformed laser in the direction the field projects (yes, light is bendy)
The correction at the end reminds me of a Dorkly video. Idk if they converged or if that’s where they got the idea?
I love your videos! One of my favorite parts are the "Don't forget" section at the very end. You're like a physics Yoda. Thank you.
The gravitational binding energy isn't 2.4*10^32 J, it is 2.5*10^32 J. The calculation is perfectly straightforward. Here is some Mathematica code to work it out:
re = 6.378137*10^6;
f = 1/298.257223563;
rp = re*(1 - f);
rv = (re^2*rp)^(1/3);
h1 = 1.2215*10^6;
h2 = 3.4800*10^6;
h3 = 3.6300*10^6;
h4 = 5.7010*10^6;
h5 = 5.7710*10^6;
h6 = 5.9710*10^6;
h7 = 6.1510*10^6;
h8 = 6.3466*10^6;
h9 = 6.3560*10^6;
h10 = 6.3680*10^6;
G = 6.67408*10^-11;
p[r_] := Piecewise[{{-2.177275*10^-10 r^2 + 1.911026*10^-8 r +
1.308848*10^4,

Aha! So lasers in the death star dont behave like lasers but star wars happens "in a galaxy far far away" not a different universe, therefore they are not lasers therefore they are not lasers therefore they are antimatter beams or kugleblitz creators. I corrected your correction to my correction.
The super nerd "Mckayla"? did not even comment on something that was relevant to the topic :-D haha
And she won Super nerd... #mad
But the response was very interesting! I did not know people could have chimeric attributes.
YOU DIDN'T WAIT LONG ENOUGH!!! PAUSE! WAIT!
I am able to use Bioenergy (no, not the force), to manipulate fetus chromosome in the womb, as long as it is done before the gender has been fully developed, and thus change the gender of the baby.
You may think this is a joke, but I sell Bioenergy based services for living, so it is the matter of livelihood for me.
Hey Kyle, can you do an episode on Halo, and the covenants method of destroying the life on planet, "Glassing" planets by sending litereally an entire fleet of their ships down to the planet to just bombard the surface with plasma and maybe explain how long it would actually take to do something like that, or perhaps even describe how much of that kind of energy would even be needed to destroy the life and water on a planet, not to mention if the ships would roast to death before hand (alien ventalation ftw), also, would that same plasma even work as shielding, as it is described to do in the series? or would it just kill those inside due to well, being surrounded by a shield of plasma.
Couldn’t the explosion from the Death Star kill you, damage your ship, or launch you off course into eternal spinning
I love the message at the end. I dig it immensely. Great job!
So in comparrison, the warhammer 40,000 equivalent is The Planetkiller, personal warship of Abaddon the Despoiler.
According to 40k lore, the weapon that is most of The Planetkiller often fires for more than 30 minutes, and doesn't blow a planet apart but rather completely ruins its physics. Magnetic poles are demagnetised, crust or mantle is split open, atmosphere is burned away, causing storms, lack of oxygen and other chemical reactions, fragments of the planet are moved are large enough to change the centre of gravity of the planet causing tremendous earthquakes, volcaneos, ruptures blowing chemicals from under the surface.
All in all it's horrible and absurd, but it seems to be a more realistic representation to what we see as the destruction of Alderan.
Ya know it does kind of make sense when you fanboy right through it. Padme also got pregnant with twins, maybe it was Anakin who was responsible for this related phenomenon. I'm sure Darth sidious chose schmi for her unique genetic make-up which could include extra genetic materials
The Death Star has engines. I would think they'd be using them to stabilize while in orbit as well as firing the super laser. It's a possibility not mentioned in the movie, books, etc. What do you think? Plausible?
Okay okay, Millennial Falcon is pretty funny.
The kinetic energy from the momentum of the laser beam must be stored within the Death Star somehow, as potential energy. using a spinning mass or flywheel as a capacitor to store this energy would allow for a release of it via a laser beam and the counter forces can be offset by the slowing down of the spinning mass/flywheel allowing the deathstar to remain at 'a=0m/s/s'
Angular momentum has no velocity so all that would happen is half the energy would go into the beam and the other half would stop this 'Spinning Capacitor'. as long as the angular momentum of the capacitor can not transfer its energy to the death star directly, perhaps by isolating it in a polarized magnetic field, then a lasers momentum will not effect the velocity or accelleration of the death star.
This could also explain why it needs to recharge for so long, spinning up a mass capable of generating planet destroying lasers would mean the mass is huge! and the spin capacitance would be monumental, much like a spinning neutron star or blackhole. Theories involving extraction of energy from the spin of these things which i think may have been discussed in previous episodes, and if not check out Isaac Arthurs channel to get more on that, these ideas dont need to consider conservation of a vector momentum because the energy is directly converted from angular momentum, which is scalar.
Wouldn't everyone have the same fate every time they went to light speed? I would have to guess they have some sort of inertial dampeners.
Hey man, your jokes all land with me...the DNA in your humerus must be unique. Hey, in the early 90s i played a lot of Star Wars games like X-Wing, TIE Fighter, Dark Forces, etc. and in those games the lore described lasers at some point as "coherent packets of light energy" does that change anything in your concept of lasers and laser swords? ; ) I don't expect you to ever give me the honor of calling me a nerd, but if you just said something like "the madman lowercase is a dork/geek" i would be ecstatic. You're the kind of guy i loved to sit next to in math class. You'd say, "Why didn't you do your math homework?" and i'd say something like: "Mathematics can take a long walk off a short pier!", "Math can Divide by Zero on itself!". You're cool is what i mean. You and your world of absolutes you call math can take a flying leap at the moon!
Also after it bounces back off the planet that glob of anti-mater is coming RIGHT BACK AT YOU if you're on the Death Star.
As far as Anakin's conception, an alternate idea is it could have just been use of a "Jedi Mind Trick" possibly by Darth Plagueis, (there's nothing saying that the Sith couldn't use that thought/memory editing too, in order to basically psychically "roofie" her. There are plenty of dudes willing to use nefarious ends in or world to that extent if you picked your apprentice BECAUSE he killed his own family I'm guessing you aren't of great moral character yourself. Claiming to create life via the Force to his apprentice was just basically lying on his resume perhaps to try & make him think he still had more secrets to teach so as not to kill him yet.
Please talk about the physics of Morphers since Power⚡Rangers events are happening; Power⚡Morphicon and the Power⚡Rangers 25 Anniversary Special with many returning Power⚡Rangers alumni. Are they tapping into the source of mass?
Not mentioned at all? I'm not this kind of a nerd, but still, I wrote a pertinent thing as well...
BTW About the lasers not touching each other: Maybe they are so technologically advanced, that: 1) They invented solid light... XD 2) They invented something that can tap into The Force and manipulate the Death Star, etc... :)
Perhaps the death star is utilizing gravity to counter the recoil thrust from the lasers. By allowing the vessel to become entrapped by the targets gravitational pull, the mass of the death star plus the gravitational pull from the planet might be potentially enough to at least the laser weapon plausible?
I have the answer: The Death Star is made of Vibrainium. This explains why the is no momentum shift due to the death star's frame absorbing the Kinetic energy and storing it for the next shot (Ep6 rapid fires on the Rebel command ships) this also explains how there is so much in Erath because the exploding fragments eventually find their way to earth. BAM! Problem solved lol
Best way to deal with trollish humor, is not spelling things wrong for them to go for low hanging fruit, which is funny cause I love how Thor, DEALS, with rude, in a happy way. Cause I go for the High fruit way too easily with foolish psychopathy. I am free flow, I only check my spelling sometimes. Pain is truly gain.
Kyle, I loved the Cannonball Run reference. But isn’t that too Gen X for you?
Found your content recently and am loving it: BS, MW, and BS Footnotes.
Keep it up.
“Has a thing for lasers that bump into each other” Interestingly enough, both the Death Star Lazer and also lightsabers are powered by kyber crystals. So is it possible that it’s not actually a Lazer at all? Perhaps it’s actually plasma contained by magnetic fields like you theorized in your lightsaber explanation video.
I'm kind of confused. How can light have momentum if it has no mass? And you also said once upon a time that Chewie's crossbow projectiles would need mass to throw back a target from impact, but alluded to the fact that they wouldn't because they're light, and light has no mass. Is there something I'm misunderstanding?
