Today's episode promises to be CRAPPIER than ever - because we're talking about The Martian. That's no judgement on the movie, it's just that the film is ACTUALLY full of poop and poop science. But the question is...is the poop science actually a load of crap? Hold your nose and dive in to discover if it is actually possible for Watney to survive on Mars like the movie portrays.

This movie is so unrealistic
no one can survive 500 days without internet
agreed bro
u r the only smart guy among dumb people, its not possible to survive 500 days without internet
Hey Creeps, didn't expect to see you here.
true
No one can live without creepypasta either.
+CreepsMcPasta I`m sure Zuckerberg already has something in the works.
You know, there was a much bigger study conducted on whether people could survive on a diet of mostly potatoes for over a year...
That study is known as Ireland.
+Morangatang yeah :-D so far the results are: As long as a potato lives, Irishman lives.
Surprisingly accurate. Irelanders, attack Matpat for ignoring us!
+KohuGaly well, except for the great crisp shortage of the 1840s

+Morangatang Aye, crazy as they may be, the Irish had this shit figured out.
“You can live your whole life eating just potatoes”

lmao!!!!
@ShonenAce Ireland is famous for their potato farms
Thats it
oh and the massive famine they had when all the potatos died
Anyone else attempt to read that in an Irish accent?

As anyone who has read the book knows he had some earth soil with him that he mixes into the martian soil so actually his chances would be even better.
Didnt he have something like 25 square meters of it
+SithTunaFish What he did in the book was spread the earth soil around so the bacteria would multiply. This created more fertile soil. And, with the light problem, he just used the lights in the HAB, which simulated the sun on earth.
+brent bousquet yes, but this isn´t the book theorist is the film theorist, so whatever you read in the book doesn´t apply if it´s not in the movie... :D

The book is SO good. I read it after watching the movie and had to force myself to go to sleep only because my eyes could barely stay open.
RIGHT I could not stop reading it, finished it in 2 days
I have the book, and lets say I had to get it taken away to go to school properly.
Me too
By afar one of my favourite books. Side note: if u loved the Martian, the other Andy Wier books are also VERY good :D

well yeah but im not saying that i am going to quit school, and simply to put it this way, im simply saying that i can learn about things i didnt even know about. like the video about doctor who and if he can actually exist, at first, it sounds stupid but mat studies about every possible detail. in fact, in that video, mat mentioned and talked about time travel and multiple theories about how time travel works, i kid you not, it is messy to talk about, miss one detail and it might all fall apart. i am not saying that i will ignore school, but hey, this is the internet, a wide variety of information can be gathered in even the most ludicrous of videos and websites. and even if this could somehow be wrong, we can all agree that mat works hard to make these videos top-quality by seeing how much effort he put into researching. and don't agree? i don't mind! :)

I feel like watching a movie in a theater with Matpat would be quite the experience. There would probably be a lot of exclamation.
I don’t think so dude. He sits down, rewatches movies over and over to get snippets, and researches his theories to make a video. So a first time watch for him is similar to any other.
Watney: I can grow and eat potatos
Techno: *laughs in potato king
laughs in 500 million potato collection
Matpat: *Proves literally everything makes sense with facts, science and real studies*
Also Matpat: Ahahaha, but its all just a theory
a film theory!
and it takes all the deepness of the subject
That's because 99% of science is a theory. If it's not a scientific theory it's a law(ex. Law of gravity). However that being said even scientific laws can be changed. Nothing in science is fact.
Bonquiqui Rivera Well, that's not quite true. The National Academy of Sciences has a definition, which is the universal convention for scientific study, for "scientific fact," and it can formulated rigorously. And such scientific facts exist. Many theories correspond to some fact. For example, the theory of evolution is the set of scientific models supported by overwhelming evidence that throughly explains and carefully predicts the fact of evolution and its mechanisms. Similarly, there is the fact of the existence of gravity, and then there are theories of gravity, the first being by Newton, and then being superseded by Einstein's theory of general relativity, which will in the future probably be superseded by the quantum theory of gravity, when we find it. So, facts do exist in science. Their meaning is more strict than they are colloquially, though.
Gabriel Causaren If it's supported by evidence, then by definition, it isn't an opinion. At worst, it's merely hypothesis, at medium, it's a coherent theory, and at best, it's actually a fact, which will be determined if we ever terraform Mars or not, which would be the video-game equivalent of canonizing the theory.
@@bonquiquirivera8839 or like evolution. Technically, we can't prove it yet. It's still a theory that we teach as fact

Isnt it common knowledge that manure is used for fertilizing? Where do you people think the poop of you and animals is going?
schmid1.0 the sewers?
schmid1.0 the ocean
You think that people who live like a couple houndred kilometers inland transport their poop to the ocean?
Fair enough, but then again people in cities aren't exactly going to transport their faeces all the way to farms to use as compost right? much easier to dump into the ocean
Sadly, most people live in cities rather than farms, and city folk may not know how it works out here.

It’s funny that he says: “fear my botanic powers Mars” because mars literally saved him from getting infected with pathogens
@@justWithRight mars or mar s-crap a.k.a scrapping science not usefully anything garbage terrible
I don't have my copy with me but my favorite is when NASA found out that they left Mark on Mars and I think it was Venkat but he was wondering what thinking you're abandoned and left alone on another planet does to a man and what Mark must be thinking at the moment. Then it cuts to Mark wondering why Aquaman can control whales since they're mammals.
Next favorite had to be when they were sending a probe to Mark and someone asked if NASA was gonna send him any disco (Mark called it awful).
My dad was saying very important in the movie that they didn’t mention, Mars soil has copper in it
Matpat: today we will be talking about potatoes
Technoblade: let me introduce myself
Fun Fact: Every single one of the few scientific inaccuracies I could find in The Martian are related to atmospheric density.
awesomecat42 Well, that relates to the inaccuracy of how storms are portrayed.
Yeah, and that’s necessary for the plot

@@cosmicblox5946 BIG BRAIN TIME
He actually received an honorary degree for all the research he did for the book.
Well, as said in the About Me in the book, Paraphrased
'He is a lifelong devoted space nerd."
the greatest struggle is simply the period it takes potatoes to grow, an average of 100 days roughly. He'd have to maintain a bunch of crop cycles, but it is possible if he can manage those initial 100 days.

i am Irish and Irish people who have had a basic lesson in history will know that it is not just possible but a means to survive for hundreds of thousands of people in the 1830s,
so mat pat, your Irish viewers knew that it was possible.
[but i still loved the theory, great work!]
But then, it all changed when the famine arrived
Jim O'Gara until the British come and help cause one of the largest mass genocide in history
Aoife Keating holy shit, i am an american of irish descent and i thought the famine was just caused by bacteria. after research, youre right. why would you take food from people that are starving??
whatwhen999 ino there was food IN the country (eg carrots other veg and fruit) and it was being shipped to England (for wealthy landlords) from ports in cork and Dublin while the Irish people starved to death. The British prime minister eventually sent I believe a type of corn but gave no instruction on how to cook it so the Irish ate it raw or cooked it improperly which made it inedible and finally a tribe in India actually sent the Irish food and supplies but before the food could get to the Irish guess who stole it. The British. therefore committing the largest genocide in Irish history but many people still call it a famine.
Aoife Keating here in the US, we learn it was a potato “famine” yet we never learn the actual cause of it. as a student, we just kinda assumed a natural pathogen, or a drought caused it. however, we do learn how horribly irish immigrants were treated in the US. not only could they not get jobs anywere but the places no one wanted to work (people who used TNT to clear the way for railroads, skyscraper construction, etc). they were essentially killed trying to make minimum wage.
1:47 best pun in all of your film series yet
No
This is the reason why I prefer the book over the movie. In the book Mark talks a lot about how he's going to make food/water and shares every single detail, while in the movie it's either skimmed over or they just use the good ol "a wizard did it"
25mph gusts of wind have a greater affect when you've only got 38% of Earth's gravity to hold you down. Might want to factor that in.
It probably would have three times the effect because it would feel like 75 mph.
+Willaev NSort of. You're being pelted with material that is half the weight it would be on Earth. And possibly also less material in general as the really thin and weak atmosphere (the Martian surface atmosphere is about 0.6-0-1% the density of Earth's) will not have the kind of power to carry as much debris.
For the atmosphere alone, F=1ma > F=0.006ma. What's that going to do to the amount or size of debris a Martian wind can pick up?
+Mark's Moving Arts but we have sand storm, that increases density of atmosphere there. But I'm pretty sure even that wouldn't tear satelite dish, mounted with steel bolts.
+Willaev Nope. Momentum of dust/wind is what is important (momentum equals velocity multiplied by mass) and though velocity is the same as on Earth due to lesser density the same volume of martian atmosphere has lesser mass thus momentum is much smaller. Gravity has nothing to do with it, it only adds vertical component of acceleration to any particle of air/dust.
Павел Таранов It wouldn't be enough no. Curiosity has been on Mars for almost four years, scales and weighs in at just smaller than and as heavy as a small car. If Mars' storms could tip an 80-ton rocket or rip off an antenna dish, then Curiosity should be scrap by now, right?

as an astrophysicist thats why i loved the book so much. its the only sci-fi book i have ever read that actually pays attention to real world science. love it
The book was so good though. Even if the science is a little off it is still interesting to hear the possibility of survival and thoughts of Mark

No he'll die and the thing on Martian is fake to not everything can happen in that movie
+LastCentury Gamer 0-100 real quick
what?
Next episode of Matpat's Game Lab confirmed
(Although not game related)
He didn't survive on only potatoes. The purpose of the potatoes was calories, he was taking necessary vitamin supplements, but the potatoes were for calories. In the book, he only used his feces in the book to avoid disease. The water was soaked. We can do a Collab if you want to talk more.
Sasha is proud.
You seam to have forgotten that he wears a space suite everytime he's outside therefore lowering the amount of dirt inhaled
But how much time does he really spend outside? Seems that the vast vast vast majority of his time is spent inside and a large chunk of that in a room with a dirt floor... Then you have to look at it as an average, and that day the room blew up is probably going to skew the average a bit higher.
At any rate the point is moot since what was given was really a worst case scenario which was found to be pretty much harmless so anything that lowers exposure doesn't really change the conclusion.
Okay. First . Are you the real sans
And second. I'm in spaaaaaaaaaaaaacccccccccçcccccccceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
And third . That movie is sooo roing
yu nofun, I think part of why we inhale so much dirt is the air (and dust) so I don't think there is much wind inside, hence a bit more safe (than safe)
He wears a space room?

Hey cody
Me: I hate you, Matpat.
My taste in youtubers, films, games, channels and stupid love for puns: Are you sure about that?
(Jk Mat ur great)
There's one thing Matt forgot to factor in at the final part of the theory, Damon was in a space suit, thus making it so he can't inhale any of the dirt from the outside air, and though he would get some from the dirt and what was tracked in from the suit, it would be far less than what you calculated, he could get said sickness, yes, but it would take far longer, and be less likely/severe.
Dirt from in his farm?
What about when he was in his potato farm?
bruh, he's in a space suit most of the time... so hell consume ALLLLLOT less soil
"hell."
woooooooooow, derp
he brought the soil into the station to plant his potatos in, so he actually always in the vicinity of it so he would consume more soil than what Mat said
bruh did u even SEE the movie? plus, the prediction matpat said was based on earth standards, where there is soil literally EVERYWHERE in the ATMOSPHERE. I emphasized atmosphere cuz mars has none, so soil wouldn't stick in the air anywhere but inside the station which he isnt inside much and hasn't had much time to accumulate any soil in the air, so actually he WOULD consume less soil so BOOM!!!#R3KT
+Matthew Hausmann the cringe is consuming me
I was expecting something like the end of the first "exposing dory" video. He would admit defeat and then reveal something saving his theory.
This came out long before that theory.
+Dalan Stevens Oh...
Emily Smith ouch
Actually the science in the martian is pretty good. The storm thingy was really the only real problem and the author even has a foreword in his book where he explains the physics and the imposibility of the storm being a real problem. So andy weir used the storm with artistic license and he knew it and informed about it.
"And potatoes have a lot of pretty much everything!"
Vitamin A and B: *0%*
You'll be ok without that. And mattpat pointed that he had vitamin pills.
So, wait. The whole thing is completely accurate, except for the first scene. So that means it isn't completely accurate.
+Vincent Rose I think the end where he
SPOILERS
Propelled himself like iron man was a load of crap.
Yeah but thats only a setup. The point of the film was the survival, not the storm.
+Vincent Rose Well they needed to somehow lose Matt in the beginning. They couldn't just pull a "Home Alone" and forget him there.
+alsoaVinn how did he get stuck on mars in the book? i haven't read it only watched the film
+alsoaVinn To be fair, it'd be difficult to figure out another way to strand him. Hmm... Maybe he could've fallen off a cliff instead, but survived due to the lower gravity. Would the others go look for his body in that scenario, though?
so you addressed the growing potatoes credibility but not the scene where he fixed the highly pressurized module with a piece of plastic bag and a duck tape ?
+Kukainis What happened there is actually possible as long as he created a seal and made it strong enough then in theory it could hold the pressure inside.
+Kukainis NASA uses velcro and duct tape. And it works. Pilots flew planes fix with duct tape. IT just works.
Because ductape fixes everything. It is the greatest invention of all time lol.
That is actually possible - I have used duct tape as an airtight seal under pressure before.

100 mg of dirt per day on earth, where we dont use helmets to breath, but on mars he does, so the amount of dirt would be less than 100 mg per day right?
He's working with dirt without a helmet on in the movie.
The reason why he would be inhaling the dirt is that he had to plant the potatoes inside and in the movie it is just a section of the Hab (fancy name for his fancy NASA shelter). However in the book he actually had to cover the entire surface of the floor and the 5 other bunks of his crew ages and some lab tables to no matter where he went he was inhaling it. Also he was only using the helmets for working outside as he only had a limited amount of suit filters.
No when farming he removes his helmet
That was the average for a person, he was working with the dirt itself constantly stirring it up, so he was likely actually getting more than average.
+Vítor Lessa wait...
i thought the 100mg of dirt per day was via our diets. Presumably the food we eat ultimately comes from the ground, and we get it that way. Does it really make sense that city dwellers INHALE 100mg of dirt per day?

if the science in a science fiction is true, then it isn't science fiction anymore.... is it?

BUT HEY, THIS IS NOT A THEORY. A COMMENTARY THEORY.
+green house Actually, no... Andy Weir researched all of this stuff himself as he was writing the novel. He spent hundreds of hours pouring over all of these details, in his words, "for fun".
I'm sure there were consultants on the movie set for this or that, but Weir covered all of the hard science with near perfect accuracy all by himself.
I read a interview and article by the author and apparently NASA took a interest (one of his buddys worked for nasa) so he kept on referring to NASA for help with the science after a while and got them to check it through. He did do a lot of his own research though.

In the book (and I believe the movie), Watney points out that he's growing potatoes for the calories, and doesn't need anything else from them because he has well over enough of basically everything in pill form.
Also, it's said in both the film and the book that feces isn't usually used as a raw fertilizer because of the pathogens you could get from it, but that's it's fine is his situation because he'll just be getting his own back. I'm pretty sure that he didn't use his crewmates feces either, just his own.
He does use some of Johansen's I think it is but it's freezedried or whatever so I guess it's alright.
he just had a scat fetish for her
Guess you could call him (drum roll) an ASStronaut ;)
+Ash Medalla
amazing *claps*
Ba dum tss
That joke was a piece of CRAP;)
+Alejandro Arjona ba BUM tsss
NovaNerd Oh god no.
“We’ll let it slide.”
Cinema Sins: *shook*
Can't believe this is from 2016
*cough* Irish eating nothing but potato's before the great potato famine *cough*
+steven adkins (theultimategamer25) And the point of this comment is?
+steven adkins (theultimategamer25) yeah they survived brilliantly though didnt they?
+steven adkins (theultimategamer25) That was due to not having any sort of crop rotation, thus removing almost all of the nutrients from the soil effectively preventing them from growing more.
+steven adkins (theultimategamer25) Same thought
+Shining Darkness That might have had an impact on yields but it was a disease that killed off the potatoes they were growing.
where the heck is part 3 of doctor who

thank u mat u literally just got me an A in science ur a god
You forgot that martian soil is highly radioactive due to the exposure to the sun with no magnetic field
Not really, radiation does not work like that.
You might have got that idea from hearing about things near chernobyl becoming radioactive, but that was because they got radioactive *material* spread over them, not because they were irradiated.
Some compounds do become slightly radioactive after being irradiated, but you need an awful lot of radiation to do that, and when you do they usually have a short half-life so don't stay radioactive for long.
So basically we're ready to go then, right?
+FieryWingedAngel Planned missions to Mars in the 2030s, which is when this movie took place.
Jakisuaki I'd say we'll be ready in the 2020s.
+FieryWingedAngel Unlikely, there's too much planning to finnish in less than a decade. We'll just have to wait and see. My guess is we'll be seeing a lot of robotic missions to Mars in the 2020s to prepare for manned missions in the 2030s.
Agreed.
+FieryWingedAngel My god, an intelligent discussion on TH-cam. We are making progress.
Bum Brownies :-D That made me chuckle. I liked this movie, but it quickly became obvious it would be a happy ending and that Made it less interesting for me. Although Matt Damon's will to survive was entertaining. Welcome back Matt! We almost got rid of ya :-P
+xisumavoid hey i used to watch your vids a long time ago, back when i was interested in minecraft :D good to see ur channel is still going :)
omg xisuma
x!!
I didn't know you watched film theory :)
This was a great video: Thank you
The audio book (unabridged) was Awesome.
“Living of nothing but spuds for 400 days seems absurd right?”
Jacksepticeye laughs in the background
“Oh you silly man”
The title seems like it was written by a 5 year old
you just dont understand art
+MrBackhouse36 So is the movie
+mrblackhouse36 would you say its
crappy.
+Kaleb Young get out
+DogerinoKeK #Rekt
He isnt just a botanist, HE IS MARS’ BEST BOTANIST!!!🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Ohhhhh... you said it...
*We skim over the fact he is the only sentient being on Mars*
@@thedude___dude4399 A space poop-pirate, that is.
Captain blondebeard ;)
he's the first pirate that colonized mars.
when you are the only one he is also Mars' worst botanist ...
This Taught Me More then A Full year Of School
*didn’t know that Jason Bourne went to Mars by taking a dump and farming potatoes for survival*
Dont forget... The electro magnetic field of mars is 40 tume weaker then earth... So solar radiation will kick him in the pokeballs
Not to mention the radiation he was exposed to in the rover, sitting there with a uranium core.
Curt's Clocks - The Atmos Repair Specialist
Yeah but in the movie he said (para-phrasing) “This thing could explode and is probably definitely giving me a cancer”
@@atmosrepair In the movie, even worse. PLUTONIUM!
@@atmosrepair the RTG is completely safe as long as it remains intact. Those things are remarkably reliable, but if it ever cracked he's a dead man.
Wouldn't the space suit shield him from the radiation, much like a lead blanked during an x-ray?
fun fact: Andy Weir (the author of the book) actually mentioned the inaccuracy of the storm. The original draft had Watney left stranded as the result of an engine test, but he changed it because he wanted nature to get the first shot in.
This is actually the funniest Film Theory ever
"into unsuspecting Matt Damons" idk why but that part got me
7:31 the channel said it was game theory not film theory
+amda246/BluenosedCash75 but who cares
+amda246/BluenosedCash75 Same person m8
The Traveler I know that they are the same person
amda246/BluenosedCash75 Ya....
+amda246/BluenosedCash75 but doesn't he have two separate channels for that?
Wait a second. I thought that emoji stood for chocolate ice cream. IT HAD CUTE EYEBALLS AND A SMILEY FACE! NOW YOU TELL ME IT WAS A POOP EMOJI???
So much of my online childhood makes sense now.
xD
ROFL I almost died coughing from laughing
Childhood? It just recently came out not too long ago. So what are you now, a child or a young teen?
+Matthew Bunn batman kills harry poter and a little poop emoji kills dead pool. I'm sorry :-; xD
+Matthew Bunn no he doesn't!
"Unsuspecting Matt Damons"
Wow this movie is much more scientific than I first thought, its beautiful to see some real science
This is a 'shitty' theory. Eh eh?
I see what you did there
+Dustin Firestone that's a shitty joke
+Bach Truong I think you're full of crap, it's really good.
true
a survival theory thanks for shiting
"try as I might to science the sh*t out of these scenes." I get the reference and it's very funny.
reference? Its a joke, not a reference...
madder than hatter why can't it be both?
No you guys, if you watched the CinemaSins video, you'd get that it IS a reference.
but a joke can be a reference if not then I'm f*****
Proclaimed Lol that line got me too
