Dude, I love it when you do Doctor Who stuff. I had a roommate who loved sci-fi but couldn't get into Doctor Who because he thought it wasn't based in real science. These videos show that some things in the show could be possible in the real world, and I love it
+elitebelt I call bullshit. He made that up. "Huh? Name? Um..." (Looks around room. Sees Bruce Lee poster and drinking glass with water.) "Bruce... Drink... water."
It's called a Sonic Screwdriver because it makes an audible sound when it's activated. The SS acts as a transmitter/receiver, generally speaking; it's kind of like a bat's sonar (scanner) and white noise generator, depending upon the settings, rolled into one.
Next you should explain whether the chameleon circuit and perception filters in general can be made. Not just a simple stealth or camouflage system, it completely alters the observer's perception of reality.
GuyWithAnAmazingHat Yeah, that would be really easy, just create a smoke machine that emits hallucinogenic gasses. Cause that is essentially the only way to "completely alter the observer's perception of reality." I mean, you could consider a 3D movie theater as something that "completely alter the observer's perception of reality." as they are seeing 3D moving objects when actually all that is in front of them is a flat monitor/screen, however this is not changing their perception of reality because what they are seeing is what is there, light, if you want them to see something which is not there you need hallucinogens.
***** However from what we know currently there is no reason to believe that magnetic fields could cause a silvery cylinder to appear identical to a phone booth fridge, cupboard, vending machine, stone pillar, coffin, or essentially anything
***** However they only asked for explanations of the chameleon circuit (disguise) and perception filters which the TARDIS does not have (i am fairly sure) There is one outside the Cardiff Torchwood, and also in a few other places in the series.
***** Actually what you did was say the tardis could actually be... which is a problem in and of itself, the tardis itself contains too many problems to be logically explained, so explaining one of the tardis's features such as the chameleon circuit is the best we can really do at a time, and what ou proposed bypassed the very existence of the chameleon circut by saying that the tardis is capable of rearranging. or made of quantum dots, which is like i said bypassing te chameleon circut.
Djorgal depends, time travel to the future is quite possible, time travel to the past, is theoretical. So one could build a tardis that can travel forward in time (just not at the moment, large scale timetravel other than a few millaseconds is somewhat outside our reach, due to the lack of ability to move at the speed of light)
Tici Toty Tony Well, when you think about it, you're constantly traveling forward in time. And to other people, you might seem quite alien. So... 2/3 ain't bad?
.... You guys realise you are arguing over the LINEAR ORDER of a sentence that itself talks about the NON LINEAR order of the universe and time itself? Technically the way he said it is not the way it is said in the episode however it IS even more wibbly wobbly timey wimey than the original due to being less linear.
Holy Timelord of Gallifey! I'm a great fan of Doctor Who! Thanks for making this episode, Kyle! It was brilliant, as always! Just one question: would your sonic screwdriver work on wood? ;)
In theory a sonic screwdriver could trigger an isolated shift in the molecules and the wood, would disintegrate however such a calculation would take around 400 years for a sonic screwdriver to calculate so short answer. No. I'll take my nerd reward and leave thank you.
Old episode, but still feel the need to comment this: I don't think the sonic screwdriver works off sound alone. The end of the screwdriver lights up as well, so there could be some form of electromagnetism in play at the same time as the sound. Whether the electromagnetism or the sound is doing the most work, is entirely up for debate, but I fully believe it is called a sonic screwdriver because of the audible sound that is produced when the screwdriver is in use.
Professor Bruce Drinkwater.....wtf???!?! That's like Alex Eatfood or Edwin Drivecar....ffs...what's happening here? edit: I'm changing my last name to Smokeweed. I wonder if you could legally do that. I'm sure you could.
Well, if you think about it, it's pretty simple. Everything vibrates differently at different frequencies. It's just a matter of knowing exactly which frequency will get the object to vibrate just right & produce the effect you're looking for.
I actually did my thesis on those kind of screwdriver (we call them 'vortex') beams, but with electrons!! Capable of screwing nanoparticle-sized screws for the most detailed of DIY jobs BECAUSE SCIENCE
a cool detail with the sonic screwdriver is that in some early episodes of new who (Rose/End of the World and the empty child/ the doctor dances) a helix like shape can be seen spinning around through the light casted from the device but it was removed after those episodes for obvious reasons it would be a pain to put that in
Could you please make a more (highly) dedicated video of this? (Like, so much work has to be put into this for it to come close, dude, come on, you can do more than this! )
so if someone has sonic knowledge like we have computer knowledge, they would be able to move stones bigger then we could with our construction trucks, we could also move coral blocks to form a castle, we could even create crop circles without leaving any foot prints. The science of sound -- cool.
I mean, the Doctor did once say that humanity won't have tech as advanced as the sonic for 9 million years, so we're kind of beating the clock with that flour particle already
I remember hearing about an article where researchers had somehow reduced the speed of light to 0 and temporarily suspended photos from traveling. How did they do that?
quick question. in the 1st Mission Impossible movie when Tom Cruise is trying to get the NOC list. Did he use a sonic screwdriver to remove the screws from the ventillation screen or was it a magnetic screwdriver?
Interesting question: If I would put two or more of those soundsources below an object and angle them in such a way that the soundwaves would hit the ground "continously", would this object, if small enough, levitate?
+ABW941 Only way it could levitate is if the waves would bounce back up, or if the waves had enough force to cause action/reaction between the source and weaves that it levitates (like rockets just throw fuel causing action/reaction) but yea i doubt sound waves can do that.
I would like to say that there is a sentence in doctor who that destroys this theory. In fury from the deep the doctor explains that it's done by sound waves. I know what you are thinking the video explains the helix waves but in two ways I can back my case. 1. The technology didn't exist in the 60s. 2. When the doctor uses the screwdriver he didn't point it vertical to the screw but slightly horizontal meaning that the sound waves manipulate the particles around to turn the screw. In addition the sonic screwdriver was intended to be JUST a sonic...screwdriver.
Please do a Video where You explain how the Weeping Angels of Doctor Who work: especially the so called „Quantum-Lock“ where the Angels can‘t move when You Look at them
Gallafrey is way beyond human civilization in our time. I do think in the next 150 years we'll probably have a less advanced version used by locksmiths, surgeons, and probably criminals who might use it as a weapon. But unless it becomes the next big thing like iPhones or curved TV's or whatever, it probably won't become like the Doctor's until several centuries after it becomes a common item
Instead of helical sound waves, couldn't you impart angular moment by using sound waves that are tangential to the object in a procession of increasing angles? (I hope I was able to describe what I meant well)
Everything is a vibration. If you give the specifically crafted speaker every frequency ever discovered. You could theoretically do so. Lock onto the vibration of the object you're targeting, and you might be able to manipulate it. Like you could theoretically make a light bulb explode, or a keypad door unlocked. But it requires a lot of power and a really smart but tiny CPU. My best friend and i, will try and build one one day. So be it if I blow up. It's my life purpose.. also a hologram Tony stark table using layered mirrors and lazers. P.s. A real sonic is literally a magic wand. (Magic is just tapping into universal vibrations)
"Sonic" simply refers to a name, the company, organisation or individual that developed the device. It doesn't mean it uses sound to achieve its functions.
The real problem with using something like this to make a sonic screwdriver isn't the part about manipulating the object you are trying to with sound energy. The real problem is doing so without also affecting everything else around it. In other words, being able to TARGET one specific object and having the sound energy ONLY affect that one thing. We probably CAN make a device which will open a locked door now...but making one that doesn't also shatter every window in the building as well is much harder.
i know that your shows generally cover a single scientific theory, but i feel that you should mention another way that the Sonic Screwdriver is supposed to work. the Doctor has used the Sonic Screwdriver to manipulate objects through acoustic resonance. a long running point is that the Sonic tends to fail on organic objects because their structure tends to be less systematic and organized. there have been many episodes where this has been included in the plot, even in the modern series.
Therefore, we can...because science...take our starting sonic screwdrivers (vibrator) and change some parts with real tech and make a Dr. Who sonic screwdriver.
What an amazing and awesome video!!!! Could this same theory work just like a Tri-Corder on Star Trek? I know that there are apps that you can download onto your phone that will allow your phone to work like a Tri-Corder. Any ideas or suggestions or an idea for a Video??
Dude, I love it when you do Doctor Who stuff. I had a roommate who loved sci-fi but couldn't get into Doctor Who because he thought it wasn't based in real science. These videos show that some things in the show could be possible in the real world, and I love it
Bruce Drinkwater. What a great name he has.
+elitebelt
I call bullshit. He made that up.
"Huh? Name? Um..."
(Looks around room. Sees Bruce Lee poster and drinking glass with water.)
"Bruce... Drink... water."
+Fervidor looked bruce Drinkwater up. he exists. and is involved with ultrasonic testing.
Not as great as Willie Tap'er
It's sounds like something the Hulk would say. "Bruce drink water now"
sounds like some name for a viking
I don't think you can make a real life plot device
+Doctor lol
+Black Jesus and how is that funny..
Do you even know that Lol means Laugh Out Loud..or as you laughing..out..loud??

what the hell
+Doctor thats what they said about flying machines 200 years ago. now those are a common way of transportation for long distances.

David Tennant was the best
Bruce drinks water? - Well, even batman needs to stay hydrated.
Michael Bradley jep
Very true
It's called a Sonic Screwdriver because it makes an audible sound when it's activated. The SS acts as a transmitter/receiver, generally speaking; it's kind of like a bat's sonar (scanner) and white noise generator, depending upon the settings, rolled into one.
I think it also has a psychic component, because you'll often see the Doctor use it to scan objects, yet there is no display.
Next you should explain whether the chameleon circuit and perception filters in general can be made. Not just a simple stealth or camouflage system, it completely alters the observer's perception of reality.
GuyWithAnAmazingHat Yeah, that would be really easy, just create a smoke machine that emits hallucinogenic gasses. Cause that is essentially the only way to "completely alter the observer's perception of reality."

The real question here is Can you build a real working TARDIS (ง°ل͜°)ง I WANNA BE A TIME TRAVELING ALIEN TIME LORD SO BAD!!!!!!!!
Yeah but answering that question is actually easy. No you can't.
Djorgal depends, time travel to the future is quite possible, time travel to the past, is theoretical. So one could build a tardis that can travel forward in time (just not at the moment, large scale timetravel other than a few millaseconds is somewhat outside our reach, due to the lack of ability to move at the speed of light)

Tici Toty Tony You don't build a TARDIS... You grow one.

It is wibbly wobbly timey wimey not timey wimey wibbly wobbly
Marie Thehedgehog DEAL WITH IT
NitroCipher He had it correct. I'd know because it's one of my favorite lines along with, "Blink? Don't."
NitroCipher What difference does it make? Life is just wibbly wobbly timey wimey anyway. x)
Maybe it was said correctly! Our perception of the order could have been thrown off by the general wobbliness of timey.
.... You guys realise you are arguing over the LINEAR ORDER of a sentence that itself talks about the NON LINEAR order of the universe and time itself? Technically the way he said it is not the way it is said in the episode however it IS even more wibbly wobbly timey wimey than the original due to being less linear.
quick let me just use my sonic screwdriver. AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! there we go now the door should be unlocked.
Uli Schmidt XD nice one
Holy Timelord of Gallifey! I'm a great fan of Doctor Who! Thanks for making this episode, Kyle! It was brilliant, as always! Just one question: would your sonic screwdriver work on wood? ;)
the absolute nerd levels are off the charts here.
@@everettrailfan rightly so
Or does it open deadlock?
In theory a sonic screwdriver could trigger an isolated shift in the molecules and the wood, would disintegrate however such a calculation would take around 400 years for a sonic screwdriver to calculate so short answer. No.
I'll take my nerd reward and leave thank you.
The sonic screwdriver just plays back a recording of a wizard saying, "alohomora" and there's a bit of wand-core inside to make it happen.
does that explain activating toys?
It, uh, opens the door to imagination.
Old episode, but still feel the need to comment this: I don't think the sonic screwdriver works off sound alone. The end of the screwdriver lights up as well, so there could be some form of electromagnetism in play at the same time as the sound. Whether the electromagnetism or the sound is doing the most work, is entirely up for debate, but I fully believe it is called a sonic screwdriver because of the audible sound that is produced when the screwdriver is in use.
Interesting observations, Kyle! You should do an episode on perception filters, it's a big part in some Doctor Who's stories.
2:26 Alfred when batman hasn't had 8 glasses a day
i'm swiss and the fact your compared the scredriver to a knife really made me proud
i'd like to see you explain doctor who's regeneration
Professor Bruce Drinkwater.....wtf???!?! That's like Alex Eatfood or Edwin Drivecar....ffs...what's happening here?
edit: I'm changing my last name to Smokeweed. I wonder if you could legally do that. I'm sure you could.
Well, in Washington it's legal now...
Or doctor enor mouscock lamo
Professor...Drinkwater?
He sounds like a doctor in game of thrones
BraxtonComix Could be worse, where I live we have a urologist called Dr Drinkwater and a surgeon called Dr Butcher. I kid you not :/
***** My dad's rehabilitation doctor's name is Doctor Psycho....so yeah....
lol
My optometrist's name is Dr. Pieper (pronounced "peeper").
Well, if you think about it, it's pretty simple. Everything vibrates differently at different frequencies. It's just a matter of knowing exactly which frequency will get the object to vibrate just right & produce the effect you're looking for.

love the joke about how hard it is to make it make different sounds
I love watching your videos! You explain things in an entertaining way without talking down to people. Keep the vids coming!
Hum… for a Science show not giving the credits, it's very strange. The little "Acoustic Levitation" clip is from SmarterEveryDay, right?
My thoughts exactly
PratoFundo Was pretty sure I included something in the script, didn't make it over to the video. Fix incoming! I love me some Destin!
So how's that fix coming along two years later? Still not seeing any credit.
Could you please make a more (highly) dedicated video of this?
(Like, so much work has to be put into this for it to come close, dude, come on, you can do more than this! )
This video was especially painful since Doctor Who isn't on Netflix anymore. :'(
Ill cheer you up, the seasons are getting progressively worse so you may have dodged a bullet.
WiFi Warlock lol.
+Mr_Unicorn O_o aww man! SPOILERS!!
***** we can only watch it on Netflix streaming and they were usually a year behind!
It IS on Amazon/Amazon Prime, though. That's what I use to get my "daily dose," haha.
OI ITS WIBBLY WOBBLY TIMEY WIMEY STUFF NOT TIMEY WIMEY WIBBY WOBBLY STUFF
+Merran Foxwell-Glencross THANK YOU
Merran Foxwell-Glencross Whovians be like OMG WIBBLY WOBBLY TIMEY WHIMEY! (Me now)
That's the joke
For the record, it's "Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey", not the other way around.
Thanks Kyle for answering my Twitter question! :D
so if someone has sonic knowledge like we have computer knowledge, they would be able to move stones bigger then we could with our construction trucks, we could also move coral blocks to form a castle, we could even create crop circles without leaving any foot prints. The science of sound -- cool.
3:35 It's wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey.
I mean, the Doctor did once say that humanity won't have tech as advanced as the sonic for 9 million years, so we're kind of beating the clock with that flour particle already
What I got from this is that Danny Drinkwater is a Whovian.
another great video mr.kyle,maybe male a video about the tardis,how it bigger on the inside
Have you ever thought about doing a episode on Sonic Showers from Star Trek?
The doctor talked about magnets in the sonic. Would that work?
Sonic screwdriver vs lightsaber please I already know the answer but it would be an awesome video
I remember hearing about an article where researchers had somehow reduced the speed of light to 0 and temporarily suspended photos from traveling. How did they do that?
quick question. in the 1st Mission Impossible movie when Tom Cruise is trying to get the NOC list. Did he use a sonic screwdriver to remove the screws from the ventillation screen or was it a magnetic screwdriver?
Could you show us if we could ever fly like superman and wonder woman?

Bruce's Mom: Bruce Drinkwater you better drink your water
I have a suggestion for the next video what are the round things for in the TARDIS?
Kyle as the next Doctor? I'd watch that!! Could have Chobot as your bossy, narcissistic companion 😂
VivaLaGTA Yaaaassss
VivaLaGTA Nah, Chobot as the Master >:D
***** Good point!! Sorry Kyle Hill but Dan or Malik would have to be your companion then XD
The real question is where does Kyle get those shirts with buttons that switches from right to left, then switches back?
That is awesome. Helical sound waves. Better than a hydrospanner.
Multiple and synchronized microscopic effects are just as good or better than one big effect.
I like how the Sonic Screwdriver is supposed to be like a Tricorder.
The sonic screwdriver isn't Gallifreyan, it's human, the doctor (played as matt smith) said it in season 5 i think
Cool explanation! If the sonic screwdriver is generating a focused sound beam, as an observer would we actually be able to hear the sound from it?
Can you make more space-related "Because Science" videos, like could Star Trek tech like teleportation and warp drive work?
Gallafrey is way beyond human civilization in our time. I do think in the next 150 years we'll probably have a less advanced version used by locksmiths, surgeons, and probably criminals who might use it as a weapon.

Hacksmith did it, so it's possible but only with key card magnetic locks, but we have a locksmith
These videos are life like legit

Heres a question .. could it be possible to use sonoluminessence as a energy source ?
Hey Kyle, could you make a video about the DeLorean Time Machine from Back To The Future in your BECAUSE SCIENCE.

just wondering anyone got an idea on the energy requirement for sonic-screwing a small object with this method ?
wait who drinks water
Adults

Bruce Wayne! jk Bruce drink water.without the space
jamo90 Yes
i was hoping you would say something about the Brown Note.
I just want a box that's bigger on the inside. It would save a lot of trouble in airline travel with my kitesurfing gear.
Yes if you have the right equipment
Professor Drinkwater and Dr Eatapples would make a great team
Wouldn't the sonic screwdriver or sound waves in general be able to open certain doors by vibrating the lock mechanisms into place?
Since arkham knight is around the corner how about if a scare crow gas could actually be made
Next explain Galifreyan Laser Spanners.
Timey whimey awesomeness. I agree with a poster above. I want chameleon circuit tech
Dundee university has rotated plastic discs suspended in water using sound waves.
yes but you need timelord logic
Does this dude not sound EXACTLY like Spencer Reid from Criminal Minds, or is it just me...?
Amariteeeeee?
Kyle Hill looks, sounds, and acts like a love child between Ben Carlin of Super Carlin Brothers and Jake Roper of Vsauce3, does he not?
Therefore, we can...because science...take our starting sonic screwdrivers (vibrator) and change some parts with real tech and make a Dr. Who sonic screwdriver.
i remember some years ago there was mention that a sonic device had been created that manipulated screws... think.
David is the best out of all of them I the reboot and tom baker in classic
I love these videos, because the answer is usually "yes" :)
the hacksmith made one that can open electronic locks

Any ideas or suggestions or an idea for a Video??
Classic era maybe. By capaldi it was basically a wand
Could the force be using sound waves?
Wow where did you get that prop
I doubt anyone will see this but, how long would it take to develop this kind of technology and compress it to look like the sonic screwdriver?
Nanotechnology
Dat sound wave doe
I mean there are the universal remotes in the shape of a Sonic screwdriver.
