I came to college already planning to do environmental engineering -- I knew it was going to be a major issue by the time I finished. But when I finished, I realized I liked talking about and trying to explain science more than actually doing it myself. I'm doing my best at what I think I'm supposed to do. -- KH
You know, you should put subtitles for your friend/assistant/camera operator/colleague that commonly provides feedback, sometimes it's hard to make out what they're saying and I'm really intrigued by their comments. As always, amazing show. It's pretty much the only thing I look forward to on a Thursday for the past couple of years.
Hi Kyle love the show and everything you do to get the future generations of young people interested in the world of science. I was first introduced to your channel by my biology teacher in school. And I would like to thank you for everything you have done for me because if it wasn't for you I would have not considered getting my degree in marine biology. Thanks a lot from a fan and I hope you contenue to put more of your content out for more people to see. PS. Every marine mammal and Selachimorpha is an amazing organism.
That's amazing to hear Robert! Thank you so much for sharing. It's hard to believe my silly videos were the only reason, but if I could be of any help at all, it gives my life meaning. Really. -- KH
Why are you so good!??😠😠 Hehe..that aside, thanks Kyle I also have a deep interest in science and love your videos. Love from India. And congratulations on your degree Robert, I hope the best for you.
I have been slowly getting my god daughter and step daughter into the nerd/science world and your shorts have been one of their favorite things to watch. It has introduced them into a multitude of new ideas and hobbies.
Next episode about the Vibranium Meteor will be Great! But I have one question (Actually two, but as a consequence of the first): If we could build a Vibranium Shield (with the Black Panther Suit Kinect Energy storage technology) with enough diameter to hold a meteor impact, could we have the necessary energy to power up a weapon like the death star? And if the Momentum has to be preserved, how the people of Earth would "feel" such impact?
My father is an engineer and he seems like he does enjoy his job but all my life I have doubted if I could do the same - if i could deal with science and math for the rest of my life. But looking at it this way, like something that is not to be dreaded but can even be incorporated into my actual interests (ehem comics and stuff ehem), it makes me really want to pursue a STEM career. I'm a high school senior and thanks to this channel, I have made up my mind about taking up engineering in college (which was what my parents have always wanted, and which I just recently came around to). Thank you since you have cleared up my years-long indecision about my future ❤
Beautiful in-depth look into the comments, fantastic clarifications! Thank you for encouraging kids to get into STEM and the arts, it's truly wonderful to see how much you care. Keep it up!
IF I'm remembering my lore correctly; it can be chiseled indefinitely; but only SHAPED once. Meaning you can cut it down, but only use fire to forge with it one time. Which means that it shouldn't be usable if it came from space. So; comic book writing is the answer...
On the show "qi", they said that the name "killer whale" is a miss translation, they should actually be called "whale killers". A well deserved name I think
Interesting. Fish, seals, dolphins, whale calves, sometimes adult whales: all on the menu. I didn't know that they were considered an apex predator until your comment pushed me to look it up.
You can add Great White killers to their name as well. Recently large GW carcasses have been washing up, with nothing but their livers missing, and Killer Whales are the likely culprit. I still fear the shark more though.
I stumbled upon this science channel with the other one. Seeing these provoke my curiosity for science which i have always liked. I appreciate you guys doing this stuff about these things that i like. Thank you Kyle and everyone else!
It would probably be as though everything was hydrophobic, just rolling off of things without getting them wet. Or it would act as a hyper-dense gas with constant volume.
Kyle, you ARE changing the world. You sparked an interest in science in at least one little girl. If you think of all the little girls (and boys for that matter) who singularly changed the world because of a love of science. You are doing a great job. Keep being the pebble that starts the avalanche.
Hey, Kyle, can you do a video on all the side effects that would come with being as fast as the Flash? (without the speed force helping him magic everything away) Side note, love your videos! You've helped me learn a lot!
Hey there Kyle! I'm a huge fan of your show. I forget which episode first got me addicted but I binged every Because Science I could find after. You answer questions me and my nerd friends have debated for years! I thank you for this good sir. Now. I'm hoping you can help me with a questions that has plagued me for years. In the show Adventure Time you see Earth after it was wrecked by the "Mushroom Wars" a thousand years prior. In the shots from space what stands out the most to me is a huge portion of our sphere is missing (like 1/8 of Earth??). I found this fascinating and loved to ruminate on how this could have transpired. But this is the part that gets to me. How much would this change conditions on our planet? Moving past the mass extinction event that this would have to be, what would life be like? Would it change the atmosphere? Gravity? Our orbit? Our pull on the moon? I have so many questions!! If you did have time to answer these then you would literally change my life. If not then I will say thank you for your outstanding work and please keep it up!
Hey Kyle first of all - it was really cute of you to mention Lara and wish her a great future (and so do I), but I have to say that you are not right on the topic of changing the future. Of course you are changing the future and Lara is the proof, since you inspire her (and a lot others too)! Great job! Yours Jules!
I love Orcas too; they are so majestic and just absolutely my favorite animal of all time: although I know not to mess with them in the ocean just observe. Ps, a little nerdy on my part, but I also have a small collection of orca figurines, musical snow globes, mini statues, drawing, paintings etc; after all they are my favorite animal..
Leopard seals: Performing Mortal Kombat finishers on penguins since... whenever they started existing. I saw that picture. It was like one of Subzero's finishers. AWESOME!
5:40 In the new (it finished its first season a couple months before this comment) SAO show Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online (note, this is different from the GGO season of the original SAO series), there's a secondary character named Pitohui. It explains in one of the later episodes that she named her avatar after this poisonous bird.
I feel like Kyle isn't taking credit where it's due. If Because Science influences the newer generation to look into science and pursue it as an interest then he IS doing his part to change the world. It's not too late for anyone. He's found a tried and true method and garnering interest in science, which in turn will cause more people to pursue science and therefore have a greater impact. Thanks Kyle
The Quote you gave, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.", gave me a video suggestion, if you haven't done it already that is, How does Scarecrows fear toxin work?
The Penguins of Madagascar movie has some great comments about Leopard seals. Also, aren't you more likely to have a deadly run in with a jelly fish than Great White sharks, Orcas, or Leopard seals? For me Humboldt squids are even more terrifying.
Hey Kype. Did you know the Asian tiger snake is both poisonous and venous? Well if you read this comment then you do. Also check out the book Venom Doc by Bryan Fry. Also note that her poison also affects the subject’s behavior in the form of a love trance. Also acknowledge something can achieve this through other means such as a parasite or a spore. One of my favorite episodes. Please keep biology coming Kype XP
Hey Kyle, big fan of your show, adds a nice "what if "flavor to my daily science binge. based on the properties we've observed in Age of Ultron (toughness of material, ability to withstand macrolevel kinetic energy absorption without succumbing to sheer forces/distortions in the crystal lattice, and vulnerability of metallic alloys of vibranium to microlevel kinetic excitation via thermal energy [ex: Ultron melting]) as well as in Black Panther (piezoelectric vibranium "fabric" weaves (not sure about exact composition of the suit but I assume it's a carbon nanotube weave doped with vibranium nanoparticles cannected by a grid of room temp. superconductive fibers [this is Wakanda afterall) capable of kinetic energy absorption/redirection, inelastic momentum changes, and programmable shape/density change [possibly a property of the weave's superconductive grid is that certain electrical potentials cause the material to fold into alternative low energy conformations like proteins]). So my theory for what would happen if a vibranium meteor the size of Wakanda (since their whole nation is built on top of the vibranium mound) hit earth is: First heat from entering Earth's atmosphere would distort the crystal lattice of the in coming meteor, cleaving off kilotons of vibranium on the surface area of the meteor creating particulate vibranium oxides and other nitrates which would be carried via atmospheric currents as well as the tailwind of the meteor down to the earth's surface, lacing the entire earth (not just Wakanda) with vibranium compounds, albeit in amounts comparable to the amount of Iridium we find in earth's crust. Second, the remaining mass of the meteor would via the inelastic collision of the remaining mass (comparable to the Vredfort impactor) would cause the remaining heated vibranium to unleash it's stored potential energy in order for the atoms of vibranium to regain a relaxed state. Causing an extinction level impact changing the very terrain around it as heat and particulate mass are flung omnidirectionally while the meteor slides to a stop, seeding the soil in the immediate impact radius with a cornucopia of vibranium alloys made from the friction of the meteor's absorbed kinetic energy against the earth's crust. Third the impact cloud would slowly be redistributed around the earth much like in stage one, creating quasi-concentric radial concentrations of vibranium particles in the areas surrounding Wakanda with some distribution spikes due to air currents in the upper atmosphere. This impact event is what we see in the movies. and billions of years after the impact event the tribes of Wakanda discover the metallurgical oasis their civilization sits atop and how the properties of vibranium infused minerals and salts affected the very direction of evolution in the region due to the unique chemistry of the region. The prime example being the heart shaped herb, which possibly uses vibranium nitrates in the soil as fertilizer, causing the plant's psychoactive (ex: lead and lithium)vand curative properties (ex: Platinum compounds used to treat cancer).

I just thought about the "dry water" thing, and all I could imagine was those hydrophobic products where the water just slides through the thing like some bad water physics in a video game
Hi Kyle, glad you finally got your own channel, what type of planet/solar system would the little green man alien idea come from? Probably a quick answer but Ive thought about it for a while, maybe one with a dim star and strong gravity? idk good show
Hey kype hipp! Could you do the effects of sonic booms in heavily populated areas and/or how the flash can make papers and similar items move when he runs but still repeatedly break the Sound barrier in close proximity to other people. I'd like a more medical based video. If not that's fine keep up the great videos.
This has been one of my favorite footnotes. I really like the off-camera girl better than the off-camera dude in the later ones. Not only is her voice easier to hear and more pleasant but she calls him out and it's hilarious.
Fun story, a couple of weeks ago i was bitten by ants. Hurts a lot and smells awful. The bite hay only vanished or disappeared until today (yes, there was a bump where the bites happened)
That's a superpower I'd LOVE to have! ...On the other hand, I guess some things would look, like, a thousand times grosser and dirtier. A power that comes with a cost, isn't it?
Hey Kyle! Thanks for all your continued work with the Because Science channel. I wanted to know, what if Poison Ivy was using the sap from the Manchineel Tree to make her toxic lipstick. Would that be just as lethal as everything else you suggested?
Dude ur awesome... i just found out that ur the host of mythbusters the search! Its just getting aired in my country this week and its the same time i found your channel and subscribed :) big fan of mythbusters and now a big fan of yours
0:23 I've seen videos of 30mm Vulcan cannon shells hit people and let me tell you, people don't act like solids when hit my them, but rather like liquids.
Originally I made this comment in the Wonder Woman's sword video: Something everyone analyzing super sharp weapons forget is the weapons thickness. Ok, the blade starts to separate the material, but now you have to deform it in order to have enough space for the blade to enter. An example: a kitchen knife can easily go past the tensile strength of a chocolate bar, but its not easy to cut a 1kg chocolate bar in half with a kitchen knife. For these blades to cut like that they would need to be entirely as thin as the edge (or almost). Which could be possible with the super-materials they have, but would look quite strange.
Hey Kyle just wondering if we could get an episode on the metal carbonadium of omega red or an episode on the full dive system from SAO or the augmented reality of Accel World?
Saliva does contain cyanide, and it is one of the few substrates that get oxidised by peroxide with the help of salivary peroxidases for antimicrobial defense so kind of poison just not for larger organisms.
I always thought that "poison" is a catch-all or umbrella term that would cover any venom, toxin or even acidic substances, just like "cancer" is an umbrella term since there are many different types of cancer. There are even plants with poison in the name like the actual weed poison ivy or poison oak, so the villain Poison Ivy having that name fits well. Plus, it's easier to say and sounds cooler than Venomous Ivy.
Remember what Shuri said about transporting raw vibrainium? Pretty sure the kinetic absorption properties of captain america's shield and other vibrainium items is a result of vibrainium being processed into something slightly different. Like iron ore into steel. Am I making sense? Since not much is explained about what happens when raw vibrainium is moved at high speeds beyond the fact that it's dangerous, there isn't much to go on.
Water by its self could be dry. Wet could be defined as something in it natural state that has a balanced amount of water on the surface or absorbed in it. Water is at a balance with its self so since you can't make it any more saturated it is at its dry state.
Another way not mentioned Poison Ivy could kill fast could be some kind of “super” allergen. If she could effect anaphylaxis in her victims it would be just as deadly as any poison or venom in very little time. Just another thought on this. Love your videos.
Hey Kyle. After your next video on Black Panther, could you do a video on the economic impact Superman causes to Metropolis during a fight and how would the city pay for the damages? Thanks love the show.
Vibranium suit absorbs/cancels out kinetic energy. So if The Juggernaut charged into him, would he be able to stop The Unstoppable? Perhaps unleashing the, quite possibly limitless energy back into The Juggernaut redirecting him? Also over 3 things feared in the ocean, and Jellyfish arent one of them? How about the Irukandji Jellyfish?
I found the leopard seal pic described by Kyle and I'm gonna have nightmares later as I sleep (not really, I'm used to actual gore, just not slasher gore)... oh well...
so Kyle you should do a b.s. episode about the anatomy of the gorons from the legend of zelda series, i mean what kind of creature could possibly live off of nothing but rocks? Also what would it take to survive the g forces caused by rolling around the way they do?
"I'm not naturally salt-"
"Well you are. Salt's in your body."
That made my day
Kyle, perhaps you are changing the world person by person by helping children discover how amazing science is.
I came to college already planning to do environmental engineering -- I knew it was going to be a major issue by the time I finished. But when I finished, I realized I liked talking about and trying to explain science more than actually doing it myself. I'm doing my best at what I think I'm supposed to do. -- KH

As always, amazing show. It's pretty much the only thing I look forward to on a Thursday for the past couple of years.
Noted! We made the same change for the livestreams, so maybe we should here as well. Thanks for the kind words -- KH
She kinda sounds like Charlie Brown's teacher! "Waa waa wa wa waaa waaa..." LOL!!!
No Kyle! I did not misspell Scexy! It was Science+Sexy=Scexy. Geeeeeeesh!
Oh dang my producer was right! Dang. -- KH
Wow. You've trolled Kyle really hard, haven't you.
So hard...~_~
Don't listen to Peach. There was no trolling. Your show is amazing and I'm a long time fan. Thanks for all the awesome content!
Kyle, please don't listen to Cliff Thorne! I'm a nutritious weapon of mass destruction, not a shrieking pink princess! X-D
If Poison Ivy did use stinging cells, would that make her Venom Ivy?
James Vann unless the poison seeped back out onto the lips and then it was ingested
Yes! -- KH
Loved the comment for Lara!
"Don't Randomly Eat Things." is solid advice.
Currently my favorite channel. Keep up the great work you guys!
Very high praise! Thank you so much Xitlalic -- KH
Hi Kyle love the show and everything you do to get the future generations of young people interested in the world of science. I was first introduced to your channel by my biology teacher in school. And I would like to thank you for everything you have done for me because if it wasn't for you I would have not considered getting my degree in marine biology. Thanks a lot from a fan and I hope you contenue to put more of your content out for more people to see.

That's amazing to hear Robert! Thank you so much for sharing. It's hard to believe my silly videos were the only reason, but if I could be of any help at all, it gives my life meaning. Really. -- KH
Why are you so good!??😠😠
Hehe..that aside, thanks Kyle I also have a deep interest in science and love your videos. Love from India.
And congratulations on your degree Robert, I hope the best for you.
This is fantastic! Congratulations, Robert!
Go Laura!! My daughter is 8 years old and wants to be a scientist too!!
How does Elastigirl / mr. Fantastic / Plastic Man stretch? I want to know the science in that
Gum Gum fruit.

I was asking the same thing today
Thank you so much for making a video on Poison Ivy! Shes absolutely intriguing scientifically and in comics and deserves more attention! Keep it up!
Love the show. Never stop doing it, please!
Greetings from Brazil!!
I have been slowly getting my god daughter and step daughter into the nerd/science world and your shorts have been one of their favorite things to watch. It has introduced them into a multitude of new ideas and hobbies.

Sci-Thor, your message to miss Laura was awesome. You're amazing, thank you for making science fun and inclusive
Please be salty, it's a lot funnier!
Salty Kyle is the reason I keep watching these.
As I use to say: "Everything is liquid, if it travels fast enough."

@@brokenwave6125 It has waves, though
Beautiful in-depth look into the comments, fantastic clarifications! Thank you for encouraging kids to get into STEM and the arts, it's truly wonderful to see how much you care. Keep it up!
The real question is: If vibranium is so resilient, how did the Wakandans mine it to begin with?
IF I'm remembering my lore correctly; it can be chiseled indefinitely; but only SHAPED once. Meaning you can cut it down, but only use fire to forge with it one time.
Which means that it shouldn't be usable if it came from space.
So; comic book writing is the answer...
* George Lucas Voice*: "Laser Swords"
Thats adamantium. Vibranium is manipulated using sound. Apparently strong sonic waves can negate the kinetic absorbing effects of vibranium.
You's right. I'm dumb. Lol.
You realize humans mine Titanium and Diamond with Steel?
You don't need a stronger material to mine an ore.
On the show "qi", they said that the name "killer whale" is a miss translation, they should actually be called "whale killers". A well deserved name I think
Oh dang, really? Makes sense -- KH
The Norwegian name for them is Spekkhogger, which basically translates to blubber-chopper... so yeah.
Interesting. Fish, seals, dolphins, whale calves, sometimes adult whales: all on the menu. I didn't know that they were considered an apex predator until your comment pushed me to look it up.
You can add Great White killers to their name as well. Recently large GW carcasses have been washing up, with nothing but their livers missing, and Killer Whales are the likely culprit. I still fear the shark more though.
2:40 There are a four routes of entry for hazardous substances:
- Inhalation
- Ingestion
- Absorption (via skin)
- Injection (or puncture)
Give the other crew a mic! The half conversations really hurt my brain! I want to know what the other folks say too!
I'm enjoying this show more than I expected. Good work, Kyle.
Getting your own channel and doing these footnotes was such a great idea.
I stumbled upon this science channel with the other one. Seeing these provoke my curiosity for science which i have always liked. I appreciate you guys doing this stuff about these things that i like. Thank you Kyle and everyone else!
But what is Water was dry tho!?
Dry ice
What if fire was wet?
There's a subreddit that might be able to answer :). Assuming that this was a joke, of course.

It would probably be as though everything was hydrophobic, just rolling off of things without getting them wet. Or it would act as a hyper-dense gas with constant volume.

5:40 In the new (it finished its first season a couple months before this comment) SAO show Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online (note, this is different from the GGO season of the original SAO series), there's a secondary character named Pitohui. It explains in one of the later episodes that she named her avatar after this poisonous bird.
Because Science being its own channel has improved my youtube habits in so many ways.
That has to be the greatest quote in the history of this show:
"Those are the screams of truth!" - Kype Hipp
This is taking me forever to watch all these and thumbs up them
After the episode I looked at pictures of leopard seals and even saw the one you describe. Pretty epic photo.

I'd like a more medical based video. If not that's fine keep up the great videos.
This has been one of my favorite footnotes. I really like the off-camera girl better than the off-camera dude in the later ones. Not only is her voice easier to hear and more pleasant but she calls him out and it's hilarious.
Fun story, a couple of weeks ago i was bitten by ants. Hurts a lot and smells awful. The bite hay only vanished or disappeared until today (yes, there was a bump where the bites happened)
What would happen if we could see other light frequencies like microwaves or ultraviolet?
That's a superpower I'd LOVE to have! ...On the other hand, I guess some things would look, like, a thousand times grosser and dirtier. A power that comes with a cost, isn't it?
So when I suggested to vibranium meteorite on twitter, you were not lying when you said you just filmed the episode.. Im excited.
Hey Kyle! Thanks for all your continued work with the Because Science channel. I wanted to know, what if Poison Ivy was using the sap from the Manchineel Tree to make her toxic lipstick. Would that be just as lethal as everything else you suggested?
Dude ur awesome... i just found out that ur the host of mythbusters the search! Its just getting aired in my country this week and its the same time i found your channel and subscribed :) big fan of mythbusters and now a big fan of yours
14:13 THAT LAUGH LMAO!!!
0:23 I've seen videos of 30mm Vulcan cannon shells hit people and let me tell you, people don't act like solids when hit my them, but rather like liquids.
Kyle you're one of the best human beings on Earth.
Nice footnotes video Kyle.
Because Notifications 👍
"THOSE ARE THE SCREAMS OF TRUTH!"
Originally I made this comment in the Wonder Woman's sword video:
Something everyone analyzing super sharp weapons forget is the weapons thickness.
Ok, the blade starts to separate the material, but now you have to deform it in order to have enough space for the blade to enter.
An example: a kitchen knife can easily go past the tensile strength of a chocolate bar, but its not easy to cut a 1kg chocolate bar in half with a kitchen knife.
For these blades to cut like that they would need to be entirely as thin as the edge (or almost).
Which could be possible with the super-materials they have, but would look quite strange.
Kype might be my favorite personality on TH-cam.
Hey Kyle just wondering if we could get an episode on the metal carbonadium of omega red or an episode on the full dive system from SAO or the augmented reality of Accel World?
Saliva does contain cyanide, and it is one of the few substrates that get oxidised by peroxide with the help of salivary peroxidases for antimicrobial defense so kind of poison just not for larger organisms.
Btw you won't have enough to cause cyanide toxication, it is for microbial defense.
I always thought that "poison" is a catch-all or umbrella term that would cover any venom, toxin or even acidic substances, just like "cancer" is an umbrella term since there are many different types of cancer. There are even plants with poison in the name like the actual weed poison ivy or poison oak, so the villain Poison Ivy having that name fits well. Plus, it's easier to say and sounds cooler than Venomous Ivy.
It’s never too late to change the world Kyle
Remember what Shuri said about transporting raw vibrainium? Pretty sure the kinetic absorption properties of captain america's shield and other vibrainium items is a result of vibrainium being processed into something slightly different. Like iron ore into steel. Am I making sense? Since not much is explained about what happens when raw vibrainium is moved at high speeds beyond the fact that it's dangerous, there isn't much to go on.
Technically correct, the best kind of correct.
Edit: Also, a wise man knows that he knows nothing. A fool thinks he knows everything. :)
Krishnath Dragon nice 👍
Kyle trying not to be salty is my favorite thing now.
Water by its self could be dry. Wet could be defined as something in it natural state that has a balanced amount of water on the surface or absorbed in it. Water is at a balance with its self so since you can't make it any more saturated it is at its dry state.
0:21 and knowing is half the battle.
Another way not mentioned Poison Ivy could kill fast could be some kind of “super” allergen. If she could effect anaphylaxis in her victims it would be just as deadly as any poison or venom in very little time. Just another thought on this.
Love your videos.
You've gotta put captions for the off screen dialogue!
Hey Kyle. After your next video on Black Panther, could you do a video on the economic impact Superman causes to Metropolis during a fight and how would the city pay for the damages? Thanks love the show.
Vibranium suit absorbs/cancels out kinetic energy. So if The Juggernaut charged into him, would he be able to stop The Unstoppable? Perhaps unleashing the, quite possibly limitless energy back into The Juggernaut redirecting him? Also over 3 things feared in the ocean, and Jellyfish arent one of them? How about the Irukandji Jellyfish?
why am I in love with him.
Hi, Kype!
Maury: "Kyle, you are *NOT* the Super Nerd!"
Kyle, you're awesome! And lets not forget the crew of Because Science... The crew is Awesome as well! Keep up the great work!
I found the leopard seal pic described by Kyle and I'm gonna have nightmares later as I sleep (not really, I'm used to actual gore, just not slasher gore)... oh well...
I love salty Kyle dont change him plis
Could be nightshade or wolfsbane it's so deadly a single leaf if ingested it instantly kills
so Kyle you should do a b.s. episode about the anatomy of the gorons from the legend of zelda series, i mean what kind of creature could possibly live off of nothing but rocks? Also what would it take to survive the g forces caused by rolling around the way they do?
I love the placement of the element Bulls***ium over the apple logo
