Thank you!
You da real MVP!
Thx man
Thank you, sir.
Thx
This speech is one of my all-time favorite superhero moments ever.
The thing I loved about that Spider-Man scene is that when his mask came off they respected his secret identity enough to not tell anyone
Same it was a true show that Spider-Man’s actions do help people as they would rather keep a secret most would blurt out for fame. They kept it and honesty it’s always humbling for villains and people to know that spider man in his early years was just a kid. Also that he holds back on his punches because he’s so strong he would knock the jaw off of them.
11:00 Kyle you ain’t slick tryna finesse your way out of the question 😂😂
Are you like cardboard to Superman? 3:41
Would the Flash blind you when he ran past you? 6:46
Can space whales fly through space and hyperspace. Could that be possible? 8:33
Could you actually stop a nucular fision rection with lightning? 11:02
Assuming John Storm flies by cemical rocketry. How much heat a fuel does he need to propel his 200lb body? 14:37
If Groot arrives on a planet with lots of carbon dioaxide would he get really big 15:59
What would happen to you and those on board if you attemped to stop a trian going a full speed like spiderman did in spiderman 2 16:49
How much of Pacific Rim tech is possible? 19:16
Could Superman adapt to or build an immunity to Kryptonite 21:31
In Back to the Future, when they travel back in time the leave flames on the ground where the tires were. What speed would the car have to be going at to cause that? 23:15
Could we have pod racers in the nere future? 24:29
How muhc jello does is take to be safe from falling at terminal velocity? 26:20
Could pokeball technology exist? 28:57
What would happen if the moon shattered? 31:05
Is the mandela effect real and is it caused by time travel? 32:25
rustedghost Could you possibly misspell any more words? My God man.
Tysm man :)
@@brandonmusick77 rude, considering he took the time to help everyone by providing time stamps
Can we get a mic on the girl asking questions or can you repeat it?
Exactly what I was going to write.
Catrina Bush why
Because she's really hard to tell and his answer isn't always clear without knowing the question
Also, for those who don´t master the english language, a good and clear pronunciation (and sometimes a little lip reading) are key elements to fully understand the questions.
Just raise the volume
Superman's strength doesn't always have to be active. It's like sprinting. Everyone walks at about the same speed, so our minimum is about the same, but our maximums can be vastly different.
elliott hansen but nobody is 100+ times faster than someone else.
Ninja Hombrepalito
Superman is also literally a super man. He is designed to be a person who surpasses every single physical barrier humans have found.
The thing is, how hard would moving slowly be if what would be a normal step for us translated into enough force to send him hurling across a city?
I imagine for superman, interacting with the world like a normal human would require a level of delicacy and control humans would exert doing the finest motions. Every interaction would require the precision and delicacy of the finest surgery. Moving at normal speeds would be like us trying to move so slowly and delicately you would only notice we were moving after watching us for several minutes.
Because even if you can control yourself at different levels, I see no reason you wouldn't experience it relatively, as we do.
Sure, but as elliot points out, superman is better at EVERYTHING, including pinpoint control of his body. His hands are steadier and more gentle than the finest brain surgeon, because he's better on both ends of the physical spectrum.
Originally, he was "The Man of Tomorrow"- meant to represent what all humanity might evolve into over thousands of years.
The ultimate answer to all these queries is "it's fiction and they make up the rules as they go". ;)
at 28:43 I love it when Kyle gets mad at his imaginary friend (who reads the questions out loud) for interfering with his dreams~
(btw it would be great plot twist, just like the _simulation theory_ )
Love the show. However, it’s hard to hear the questions being read out loud. Might Erin(?) be getting a microphone for christmas this year? Keep it up! With kind regards
Wait, Kyle, can YOU just poke your finger through cardboard?! You really must be Thor... I don't think I could generate enough force to poke through it unless it was held taut, and even then I'd probably be very sad with a jammed finger (and maybe a papercut).
Depends on the thickness of the cardboard.
Human torch wouldn't necessarily need to lose mass for propulsion seeing as he's in an atmosphere.
If he could ionize the air and direct the high energy plasma in a certain direction, he'd achieve thrust,.. It'd take a hella lot of energy, but no less feasible than Flash running at relativistic speeds.
MattBluEyes
No, if he creates plasma (which he obviously does because he's on fire) then he can propel that plasma in a certain direction.
The ionised particles moving away from him would impart an equal and opposite force on him, generating thrust.
Of course he'd need some metaphysical properties to generate the plasma, that's why he's a Meta.
But no external force is required to propel him.
"What they ask though?" - I lost my shit there :))
The faces he makes when he gets a clever or cool question is just as fun to watch as the answers.
That jello question makes me wonder: how big would the haystack have to be to slow down an assassin enough to not kill him/her after a leap of faith?
XD I was wondering about the same thing.
"Well, that was one of the most coherent that I've ever been...." - Kyle Hill 2018
I'm really glad you brought up Supermans "world of cardboard" speech. I was thinking about it the entire time I was watching that episode and its one of my favorite parts in 'Justice league'.
with that Umbrella comment, he just made the Penguin a lot more deadly! lol
About 6:45 ~ 8:35 Would you even be able to see The Flash running towards you if he's moving fast enough to red/blue-shift?
Going with the numbers you gave (minimum .4 light-speed), even if he's moving from the edge of the horizon (about 5 Km if you're 6 feet tall), assuming you could see him clearly enough to make out any detail from that distance, wouldn't he go past you faster than the human brain can process?
The human eye is pretty sensitive to light, if you were staring roughly straight at him as he ran you would likely see a flash assuming his suit was reflective enough
Andrew Westfall which is why his name is 'The Flash"
Man Of Steel if the flash came at you from far enough away on a black back ground and you had a powerful light source shining at him as he comes towards you and an ultra slow mo camera of next lvl skills that could focus with its the flashes extreme speed and lenses that can observe him from a distance and closer range as he moves at speeds that fast.
Provided the horizon wasnt an issue and he was running at you in space on a dead flat road while your up there with your observation equipment. The human eye would be able to pick up his red shift only if he glowed like a light bulb. Imagine the flash and human torch x 5 brightness combined.
If he's moving slower than the speed of light, you would see him.. because light from him is moving faster than him.....
The _Demon Core_ wasn’t nicknamed that because there was *A* criticality accident with it. It was named that because there were MULTIPLE criticality accidents with it.
Omg at 11:05 his brain had to go super saiyan to think about that question.lol
Awesome explanation, although if you do read comic books you'll see for instance that Superman's flight carrying capabilities come from his "bioelectric aura" which surrounds whatever he's lifting or carrying to prevent it's destruction. Therefore the strength applied by Superman would be spread throughout all the object.
Movies just don't follow the rules.
Also, the blue boyscout has confirmed in numerous occasions that he learned from a very young age to control the strength he applies since it developed during his teen years.
Less movies and more comics to see you're absolute right. But they already explained it.
Love your show, by the way
If that were the case, he'd still kill people and destroy things easily.
seigeengine he could, yes, but that's why he's a super hero

It is
Space whales: instantly thought of the leviathan species in Farscape. They went some ways to try to develop the idea of sentient creatures that lived and bred in deep space, and were used as interstellar transports (through slavery and torture, but let’s not go into that now 🙄).
Also, Jim Henson for DAYS. That show made me so happy.
I immediately thought of HHGTTG
28:48 Like from Final Fantasy: Advent Children. The trooper guys jump out of the aircraft with nothing, then shoot the expanding goo onto the ground, land in it, and step out of it. This illustrates the ballistic jello idea.
If an object redshifts or blueshits beyond our eye's ability to see it, it doesn't appear invisible (transparent), it appears black so you'd still be able to see it as a silhouette against the background.
You should really put a mic on the producer giving you the questions. Some of them are REALLY quiet and hard to hear. I don't know how many times I had to pause the video and play back the question more than once to actually hear it.
i was just watching that scene between superman and darkside and this video came up. thank you youtube and kyle. perfect.
Love that you referenced the demon core. In Stargate SG-1 they based the accident that killed Daniel Jackson off of that event.
I have a question. My roommate and I have been arguing this for a couple of days now. How much of the Sun's mass comes from thermal energy ? His argument is that the mass of energy is so miniscule that it would be negligible (less than 1 kg). I say that the Sun's thermal energy output would make the mass much higher than that. Help me Because Science.
“Wow that was one of the most coherent I’ve ever been” so close Kyle, so close
Louis Slotin (not 'Stotin') ;) The "Demon Core" incident, while a fairly brief read, is fascinating. Thanks to Kyle for mentioning it, which led me to look it up.
"wow that's one of the most coherent I've ever... I've ever been"
I love the Toby Maguire face. Hahahaha.
actually, when you talk about the delorean´s wheels on fire ( 24:30 ) the resistant force of friccion it´s going in the same direction of the car, because the wheel is spinning, in the contact point, the wheel produce a force backwards, so the friction reaction is forward
I say this every week. Is it possible to erase the board, move it or use a second board so more drawing can happen? Seems space is at a premium during these sessions. Love the show! .^_^.
For the pod racer part. What if he electrical arc was actually powering electro magnets that achieved equilibrium enough to keep the pod “together” in the way it does in the movie. While also serving a purpose of linking the two engines together in maybe a circuit.
Kyle: Ok I'm not gonna get mad
Me: execute order 66
Holy Kyle! I just realized....
That whole thing about "*falling toward the earth with enough forward velocity that your just missing it and are in constant freefall*"... That's how superman flys!
He's not flying.. He's falling, with style.
Penguin known about the effectiveness of umbrellas for years
You should mic up Erin (sorry if that’s that’s how you spell it) so we can hear the questions better 😊
"You are slightly wrong." A polite way to call people who are stupid, stupid.
I noticed decades ago that it was spelled "Barrenstain" , but teachers would pronounce it "stein", thinking that a was just a different spelling for the same name. This was before there was an internet to look up the proper pronunciation of the name.
The question about the moon shattering was my favorite. An author named Neil Stephenson recently wrote a novel about this very subject, called SevenEves.
At least the beginning isn’t just a black screen anymore
Now I'm wondering who would host Because Psychology
Dr. Phil.
Hypothetical podracer design: jet engines tied together (Turbines counter set so torque cancels out) and tied to a control pod all set to hover on a meglev type track.
faulty memory doesn't cancel out the possibility, or the probability of parallel universes
You see it all the time in video games when the big boss has a giant weapon that he swings at you then you nearly Dodge out of the way only to take damage from the seismic waves that rippel outside of him slamming against the floor. How much force would you have to hit the ground with to kill someone standing only a couple feet from the impact?
Firefox with Clint Eastwood interfaced a fighter plane with his mind. 😁
"Because Psychology" 😂 33:39
'Pods are just bad airplanes'
I think the question actually was meant to reflect the Flash episode "Enter Flashtime" on a Nuclear Fusion Reaction, like in a star like the Sun, not a Fission Reaction. I'm not quite sure if a lighting bolt would be able to exist within that much pressure needed to cause a Fusion Reaction.
Superman can easily build a suit to shield himself from Kryptonite radiation.
Just build a suit out of lead. He's way too strong anyway to easily move around with tons of lead armour on his body, and never be weakened by Kryptonite.
I still do think how Pokéballs work would be best described as a teleportation devise, that has a temporal offset in the de- and rematerialisation, so basically storing them as digital information. Just shrinking them would pose a bit of a problem to the trainer, mass-wise. The Starter-Pokemon weigh (in their 2nd evolution form) up to 100 kg, others weigh several hundred kilograms others up to a ton. Which would be quite hard to carry around, especially for 10 to 12 year-olds.
What's the science behind the leap of faith (assassin's creed) and how high could a person jump from and land into a pile of leaves/hay?
it's almost 2 years and we still haven't gotten a human torch episode!!!
26:24 Perfect timing with the music.
To my recollection, they never said Gypsy Danger had no alloys, rather that she wasn't digital. Gypsy's systems were analog and as a result were not affected by the EMP burst.
30:01 But If u change somehow distance of electrons distance closer to nuclei of the atom, you will get the excessive energy that will need to leave as the form of radiation. If I am correct this principle would generate an immense amount of X-ray or heat.
The Clint Eastwood movie, "Firefox," I believe he used a Neural Interface when he piloted the Russian Jet.
I seem to remember an "ancient" article entitled "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex" pointing out the problems of Human - Kryptonian relations...
I kinka love this format! And from the comments, i love that it makes a lot of people learn stuff that they never would have! Thanks Kyle, its working!
And team. Sorry team, I didnt mean to discount you.
A jack uses points in a car that arnt under its center of gravity (only part of the cars weight is on the jack) and most dont lift the car completly like you would if you had super strength. To lift a car by those points a jack would use would be really off balance and awkward too.
I refuse to believe I could be slightly wrong. Time trravel confirmed!
The reason why Gypsy Danger have good armour without alloying is that it that it was assume those armour pieces are totally humongous that they don't break at lattice barriers.
pod racers dont have jets holding them up, they have repulsors which push against gravity making devices float a specific distance from a surface.
Death by de-accelerating would depend on what is in front of you. Stand in front of spear pointed at you and you wouldn't need to be de-accelerated (if that is a word) much to be speared to death
About Groot: high co2 lets plants grow very fast, but they become less nutritious the faster they grow, which I'm guessing also means they're not as healthy but their own standards, too. Case in point: bamboo grows absurdly fast, and pandas have to eat fucktons of it to survive off it. They basically do little more than eating all day long.
Wouldn't gellitin just hold the water it contains in a standing position and then the water would act as water and water acts as a solid to a falling person at some point so it would take enough gelliten to let you almost already be standing on it.
He was being metaphorical in that issue he said those exact words in the injustice series at the least amount of force he can generate its like hes still interacting with cardboard I imagine Louis got her nose broken a few times just interacting with his nose.
on the terminal velocity question, if you go up fast enough you get the bends, is there a similar condition that happens to the body if you fall too fast?
"podracers are just bad airplanes"
Is there a window of distance above the earth to fall from in order to reach terminal velocity?
For instance, if you fall from ten feet, you don't have enough time to reach terminal velocity; you have to fall from at least X feet in order to reach that speed, therefore a lower limit. Is there an upper limit? If you fall from high enough, say jumping out of a balloon on the edge of space, won't you reach a much higher speed before air friction slows you down? Didn't the Red Bull guy go nearly supersonic when jumping from 106K feet? If you fall from the edge of space, does the speed of terminal velocity decrease with relation to your altitude? Or do you maintain your initial velocity? Or do you light on fire?
28:40 water with enough airbubbles does the job.
Would you be able to breath in side of the depth of jello? You could eat a cavity into it but would it fill with air or be a near perfect vacuum.
16:06 - 16:45 Im a biology student so I can tell if Groot can survive in 100% CO2 atmosphere.
No plant can survive in a 100% CO2 atmosphere, they need the oxygen and water vapour to synthesise glucose(photosynthesis). Plants in the morning breath in CO2 when there is sunlight available and at night, they breathe in oxygen to utilise the glucose they made in morning. Well, actually these two processes( photosynthesis and respiration) always occur simultaneously in plants only the rate of respiration is reduced on morning and rate of photosynthesis is reduced at night. So technically, Groot still needs oxygen to survive. Although its not very clear if plants can survive in an atmosphere with more CO2 as there are a lot of factors that determine their survivability
An accident with that demon core? Lol, that's the understatement of the year. Also, that core has killed a lot of people, over the course of several "accidents"
Before the video I got an ad for the new Krypton show 😄
my theory on pokyballs is teleportation suspended animation where you convert matter to data (just not as cool as brent stiner) and hold it to be released when you need it for your animal cruelty needs.
We are probably more like squishy grapes to Superman ,
Omg I want a Because Psychology now
We would be like clouds of vapor to Superman... his greatest superpower is being able to control his other superpowers.
Are you sure The Flash would be red or blue shifted if he moves fast enough?
When we look at other stars or galaxies we see light which is created in their own frame of reference. That means the wavelenght of that light is also relative to that frame of reference.
But when we look at The Flash the light we see is comming (more or less) from our own frame of reference (except The Flash has a flashlight in his hand) and is only reflected by him. Would the wavelengt really change only because the photon did hit a really fast moving object?
There are already iterations of Superman that has become either nearly immune to, or fully immune to Kryptonite. What's really awesome is Ultraman who can eat it or snort it like Cocaine and it amps him. Lol
Water is definitely not a good cushion. I forget the right terminology, but at a certain speed, water does not want to displace. Something like tree branches or glass would be better (both of these have survivor stories). They want to give less, but are more brittle, so they will break when you hit them but still slow you down.
Also, atoms repelling each other IS the sensation we call touch, so yes, we do touch things.
The question about the human torch....i think it could be possible that he could be burning at the right temp in order to actually cause the oxygen in the air around him to combust and using that explosions to propel himself forward. Also the thing about Groot and plants......yes, animals and insects where larger in the past due to increased oxygen in the atmosphere, but it was also due to the other factors such as a thicker atmosphere and others. Plants were also much larger because because there was much more oxygen but at the same time there was also much more carbon dioxide as well. And what kyle said about limiting factors....for plants the square cube law doesnt really apply the same as it does for animals, as we have bone, muscle and other interior mass that increases in weight much quicker than our outside purportions would. How big a plant can grow is really determined by two MAIN factors, the ammount of carbon dioxide available to convert into oxygen, and how much and how far it is able to pull water up through its roots and into itself, google and check out how the giant red woods are able to pull water up to its top branches as such heights, it uses something similar to a series of "reservoirs" and "gates" that allow water in then closes to stop it from falling back down, moving from one to the next as it moves it upwards. Its actually pretty freaken ingenious. So if the gravity around the plant was weaker then it would be able to pull the water up much higher and further, allowing the plant to grow much larger than it normally could in normal earth gravity. So if Groot was on a planet with a much higher concentration of carbon dioxide and weaker gravity, then there could possible be no limit to how large groot could grow.
Lol is always thought that pokeballs worked on something closer to TARDIS tech
The moon shattering is the starting premise in the book Seveneves by Neal Stephenson.
I think the poke balls work more like teleporters. The game/series already shows that they have the technology to transport the pokemon to the processor via the computer. I think it is more likely that the ball starts the teleportation process then stops after the animal is transformed into data or energy then just reforms them when you call on the animal. This would also explain why the pokemon can be very low health or poisoned but then their status is paused while they are in the ball.
Lord Hephaestus unless you are playing ruby or sapphire...
Would'nt the rate that spidey slowed down the train have snapped his spine with the force of it slowing down as quickly as it did
Gosh darn it! I thought TH-cam actually notified me of the start this time!
@Enderboy18 Yes... Star Wars Blasters actually run on plasma-like cells and have to be reloaded or recharged... in most disposable models anyway
.
Kyle mention traveling fast enough over the Earth that you'll be in permanent freefall. Is that speed escape velocity? And if it is, why is it escape velocity can be in any direction (horizontal and tangential to earth, perpendicular takeoff from earth, or at any angle in between)? My way of understanding and deduction is by gravitational force = centripetal force equations to find centripetal tangential velocity (horizontal escape velocity). I do not understand vertical or angular takeoff escape.
@becausescience would it be possible to make artificial gravity without the use of centrifugal force or rapid orbitting of a device?
Kyle, can you do an episode about how superheroes land on the ground from extremely high heights and not be splattered? Like Cptn America jumping out of that pain? And relate to a normal human? Maybe add how was it possible that some normal humans survived falls from plains?
I think Podracers also have repulsalift engines on them that keep the pods and engines off the ground.
Hey Kyle. I have a question. Antimatter has been a staple source of "energy" for many many sci fi stories. But after doing some research, it seems to me that when antimatter reacts with matter, the only particles that are produced are neutrinos and gamma rays. Both of which cannot be captured by any means. So how is humanity supposed to go about using this 100% efficient reaction without being able to capture any of it.
Unobtainium vs Vibranium
Q. Would it be impossible for Kryptonite to ever make it to Earth In our lifetimes?
In cannon, Superman stood on the surface of the Earth and watched Krypton explode in his mid-30s. That's because it took 30 something years for the light to travel to the Earth... how could pieces of the planet travel that far that fast? Impossible right?
With Spider man stopping the train, wouldn't his limbs be ripped off? xD
I found out the hard way that it's not that hard to punch through a normal wall in a house. So we have to be careful too.
