The problem with assuming that a 10,000 ton meteor would disintegrate before impact is that you're not considering that the 10,000 tons of our Vibranium meteor is what is left of it after it travelled through the atmosphere. The original spacial meteor would have been significantly larger before the Wakandans encountered it.
Also, not all of that kinetic energy is directed into the meteor. Quite a bit of it is radiated as heat (in all directions, roughly, not just back into it), and objects don't conduct energy instantly either, so it takes time for the meteor to absorb that energy. :)
Im a blacksmith your right the intre heat would have melted the crust of the meteor as pounds of metal is melting in the atmosphere and falling off it would start wieghting less and less
Perhaps the raw vibranium ore doesnt have those amazing properties, such that it only becomes super kinetically absorbant after being forged or processed into useful materials. That way, you could mine the stuff; you just wouldnt be able to fix or repair stuff once made.
And why say "use that for density" rather than simply stating it'd be between 2,58g/cm³ and 2,68g/cm³ based on said statements? Which, in case anyone wonders makes it lighter than aluminium.
Steel is roughly 7.8g/cm3, so his figure for density by using Titanium was higher - which would make the meteor larger by about 40%, still barely 30-35m wide, still terribly small
Joseph Longo Look I get that you’re trolling because of how idiotic you seem, it’s nearly painful to read, but seriously the comma thing is just how many countries as a whole do it. Just because we’re an exception to the rules established by everyone else in the world doesn’t make us right
Joseph Longo I do use commas, because I am also an American. We are the weirdos here, we are the ones doing the thing wrong while most people do it correctly. And it’s just swapped usage dude, in Germany for example, it’s 1.000 while here in the US it’s 1,000. It’s almost like there are differences in how things work when you’re in the new country that decided to do everything wrong just to separate itself from the posh brits. And grams were defined by the French yeah, but the Greeks used the same unit, just had a different name. Meanwhile ounces still aren’t even defined because there’s 11 different ounces for mass, and then fluid ounces, which aren’t even for mass, they’re for volume, because ounce is basically just “some small amount” that we’ve kept using for way too long instead of standardizing it.
That must be why shuri said she had to deactivate the vibranium in order to transfer it safely to the surface. The vibranium still had the kinetic energy from its collision with earth stored up and wound probably cause a problem if not deactivated. Please notify if I've made any mistakes.
Yeah this is the first thing that came to mind. If it had absorved all that kinetic energy and never released it... well oh my Wakanda is sitting on a bomb :o
So with these revelations in mind, wtf would happen with a vibranium bullet? Could you accelerate a vibrium slug in the barrel or would the gun explode? Would it do more or less damage then a normal bullet? Should Stark be tipping all his anti tank rounds with it? *Edit: Great convo in the comments y'all! I think we concluded that it would shoot, and you wouldn't want your body to be the earth in this meteor comparison!
Because momentum is conserved, the bullet will lose it upon impact with a target. So, just like a normal bullet, it will apply a lot of pressure onto a small surface - it penetrates!
In the game "Portal," you have two portals on the floor and ceiling, creating an infinite fall. If you dropped an object into it, it would reach terminal velocity and cease to accelerate due to air resistance. So what would happen if you dropped it in a vacuum? Would it continue to accelerate indefinitely due to gravity? If so, why would it not reach the speed of light?
In theory off the top of my head I want to say yes to this. Because it keeps resetting to the top of the fall without anything to slow it down in some way it would continue to accelerate indefinitely. I feel that the acceleration for reach loop would be reduced slightly as time progresses though as the object would pass through the loop in a shorter time each pass. Certainly needs a closer look though.
Two portals separated by a length of air will cause the object to reach a terminal velocity.... However, imagine a set of portal separated by a distance smaller than the length of the object, or even with NO separation. The object would accelerate until it reached the speed of light.
Didn't think about it's kinetic energy absorption but there is a problem in that explanation. We see in the movie the mine of Vibranium and it's HUGE, large enough to use multiple maglev trains. We also see a very large volume of the stuff, both in the different weapons and items created with it (assuming it's not used as alloy) but also as raw form in the trains and in stocking containers. So either the 10.000T is false information from Wakanda or Vibranium's density is much, much lower than Titanium is, which changes drastically the size of the meteor that would need to impact Earth to create such a mine. We also would need to consider that Wakanda is using the stuff for many years and it is a finite resource so even if there is still 10.000T "today", it still was much more when it hit the ground, especially considering that like with everything else, Wakanda had to learn how to use it effectively, therefor wasting a lot of the material.
it brings the size of the meteor to about 18.8m so yeah it doesn't make much of a difference. only commented to inform you of the metals density since you mentioned that you didn't know it
Except that it's not what we see being depicted. The volumes don't match and with it, the size of the meteor that hit the ground. But thank you for bringing more information.
Rin I guess they just assumed that most people wouldn't question it and didn't bother to make sure that it was all factually and mathematically correct 🤷🏻
With all the properties it has, how is Vibranium mined? Wouldn't it break all the normal tools just trying to mine it since it can absorb all that energy from the tools? It can't be just the suit that absorbs the energy, look at all the abuse Captain America's can take and not take a scratch. If they just melt it, how would they have enough heat to melt it?
I am doing A-level physics at the moment and these videos are great for putting formulas that i am learning into practice in a really nerdy way perfect for me to understand it better. Thank you so much for making these videos, keep up the great work.
Is it fair to call The Flash ,"The Insecticide". Does he not kill insects flying around the city while he runs at superspeed as the speed force protects him.( Presuming central city has insects). If he does kill insects by running into them, how many ,does he incinerate them ? I need answers people!!!!!!! Btw love the show Kyle.
That's a fun question! I think how the comics would explain it it that the flash would pick up insects and move them with him for a bit and then drop them off, and while they are with him, they would move like insects do around a normal runner. At least that's basically how the comics describe the air moving and how he can grab people at full speed. That could be a lot of random insects that travel around the world with him as he runs. Another interesting question would be what mix of smells the flash would carry with him as he runs, transporting the air with him.
two things I want to add: 1.you can even see that vibranium doesn't absorb momentum in the movie when t'challa kicks the suit in the beginning and sends it flying. 2. I haven't read the comics but like you said it the meteor had 10.000 tons of Vibranium as it *hit earth* so it could actually happen right? Since there could have been waayy more as it started it's journey but most of it burned away until there were only those 10.000 tons left that are now lying around there... And to add a quick question wouldn't it technically have that kind of shockwave effect we see from the suit? because you said they would use springs inside the suit to then have them blast out all of that energy. and since every material is able to be pushed together just a tiny little bit and go back to it's normal form I think that on this enourmous scale it would still make something noticeable
The Lore is that of the Earths core being entirely vibranium. Which is actually a Celestial Being before it is born fully. Cool to mention that this is also the reason for all super powered beings born on Earth; the Celestial having to protect itself.
timo engelmann as for the shockwaves, yes, i do think that would be possibile (on a way lower scale tho) but certainly not as we have seen in the movie, with the orange and purple effects. I rather think that vibranium is able to transform most of an impacts kinetic energy into heat, rapidly evaporating some of the vibranium in the suit, thus rapidly increasing its volume, which could indeed lead to a visual shockwave, with the different colours being caused through combining the vibranium with different other materials
Kyle these videos are marvelous! Get it. Your mission to make science interesting, and entertaining is the same mission that Adam and Jamie had with mythbusers. I know you hosted the new mythbusters recruitment show but why didn’t you take the job yourself? I would have loved to see you on tv and think you definitely live up to the name.
But Vibranium isn't silent. In fact, it's the opposite of silent : everytime you move an amount of vibranium, it starts emitting this peculiar "ringing" noise, that stops only when the Vibranium stops moving. Could it be that instead of "absorbing" energy dispersion that is usually expressed through sound and heat, vibranium actually "redirects" any amount of kinetic energy that would normally disperse in it as heat and deformation, and instead produces sound ?
exactly, you actually see that in the avengers movie when thor hits the captain's shield with the mjolnir. all the energy just disperses and create a huge shockwave
That's why it's called vibranium and what our thor doesn't understand. It doesn't absorb things by vibrating. It just magically absorbs any threat and emits it back out as sound by vibrating the energy off at high frequencies.
Mjolnir is a Quantum Drived "Drone" powered by a controlled gyroscope made of the star alloy. That allows all of its properties. If that, Black Panther wouldnt be able to stop it, since Mjolnir movement would be driven by pure momentum, not kinetic energy.
Isn't captain america's sheild also vibranium, cause they show this happening in one of the movies when thor hits captain america's shield so it would probably have a similar effect and launch black panther either up and dig him into the ground
Howard Stark stated in Captain America: The First Avenger (when Cap first gets his shield) that Vibranium is "stronger than steel and a third the weight". If steel is roughly 7.85 g/cm3, then Vibranium should be about 2.61 g/cm3.
Is it logical to assume the meteor wasn’t pure vibranium (as in, was incased in a larger rock medium? How would that change the implications of the impact?
In older versions of the comics the vibranium meteor was encased in "metal x" a metal that causes the vibranium to become inert, they did this just to explain how they mined it
it would mean some heat, some explody bits on impact. But assuming the vibranium is holding the meteor together, i'm guessing only the outer layers would be affected and given what he states about how anything under 25m in diameter burns/brakes up before hitting soil, safe to assume most of that material would have vaporised in atmo. I think. I'm not doing this with numbers but "instinct" and what I understood.
I suppose an initial question is how large a meteor is needed for the vibranium core to arrive on earth intact, and how much mass it would have. My main concern is F=MA. If the mass is larger due to the coating rock/metal x, and said protective barrier was mostly evaporated when it hit the atmosphere, then would M1*A1 = M2*A2, and hence change the impact speed of the meteor and the resulting crater?
I think a simpler question would be how big would the meteor have to be for them to have that much vibranium. It’s stated they had that much of it there’s no way of getting around that.
Just saw all your videos on Vibranium, and now I'm wondering how the hell it's possible to mine it with primitive tools. Wakanda's a technological marvel now, but when it first landed they'd still have to mine it and forge it by hitting it with tools. Wouldn't the Vibranium absorb those impacts and make it impossible for a primitive culture to use?
Hey Kyle, I bring you a Gambit vs Vibranium question (I just love Gambit, please?). Gambit has the power to take the potencial energy of a (not living) object, and turn it into Kinetic energy (or something like that), to the point where the object end ups blowing up. On Captain America vs Gambit we see Gambit charging Cap's shield. How is it possible for a material that absorbs Kinetic energy to be so charged up that ends up blowing up like that? Thanks!
Wouldn't it make more sense to construct the meteor out of a substance that is already on the super level. I had always believed vibrainium to be more akin to boron nitride or BN due to its already high thermal absorption (melting point 2'973 C), low density (2.1g/cm*3), and high durability (due to it naturally having a hexagonal crystal lattice and it's most promising aspect the wurtzite form). Since we are giving vibrainum a lot of leeway, can't we give it just a little more here too?
Titanium is a good one to compare w'vibrainium to as its actual durability is simaler to steel its the unique property that gives it its ridiculous abilities keep in its raw form it gains stupid abilities whrn alloyed ( like how oru is basicly like steel till enchanted)
Because Vibranium has properties that arn't realistic to our current materials so your material would behave in away that wouldn't even resemble Vibranium. Just because Vibranium is near pearless in durability doesn't mean you can substitute it for another of high durability.
Does the meteor have a threshold or maximum amount of energy it can absorb? Or does the whole absorbing kinetic energy thing is just Suri's nanoengineering? Because the suit has visual hint of threshold, it glows as it get 'charged' up with potential energy.
Now that we've gotten Wakanda Forever, we know that a) the meteor _did_ break up when it hit the atmosphere - half went to Wakanda, another half to a certain spot in the Mexican Gulf. Presumably there might also be a chunk in Antarctica if they borrow more from the comics, a chunk that has a kind of destabilizing effect on regular vibranium. The vibranium we see in the movies is an alloy, and the actual raw stuff resembles porous volcanic rock with blue glowy bits in it. That's also when it's got the weird magic-type radiation to it that makes everything exposed to it go super - in the final alloyed form it just looks like darker steel. The Black Panther suits are lacquered - the claws are un-colored and look like polished, chromed steel, the war club Killmonger claims from the museum looks like regular, brushed steel. The weakness it has is sonic vibrations along certain frequencies, which might have been reached during the descent. ...TL;DR, the meteor wasn't invincible when it hit the atmosphere and split up into chunks along the southern hemisphere.
If his suit adsorbs the sound of him walking to make him silent, could someone wearing it be able to talk and or hear through the barrier of said suit?
It wouldn't break up in the atmosphere because that is due to friction with the air, and since it absorbs kinetic energy, the collisions with air molecules would not heat up vibranium significantly.
@Brendan Balken Matter Beam is correct. If vibranium can absorb kinetic energy, it can absorb heat as well EDIT: Also, vibranium *IS* magic. Don't get it twisted.
Another great episode. Love it man, I've learned so much from watching your videos for three years now. How can i suggest an episode? I have so many questions.
Kyle, Love the channel m,man. Two questions: 1. If Vibranium absorbs sound, how does anyone hear T'Challa speak when he's wearing the Black Panther outfit? 2. Could Black Bolt destroy the vibranium meteor in Wakanda?
You would be correct. When the energy is absorbed, it would store those energies within the subatomic bonds of the Vibranium itself. Therefore, it would become stronger the more you hit it until it overloads and it explodes Comic wise. Read rise of the black panther vol 1 1, it basically says what i have said about it storing the energy in its bonds.
Kyle, I have a question- in the movie, we see the Vibranium mines as yawning and cavernous, far more so than anything 20m across. If it was, say, a kilometer, would it still be very tame? Thanks, A guy who heard a meteor over his house in January
I would love to see him switch from comics to anime and answer. What would really happen to our bodies if we were to pilot a Gundam or practically any large scale war mech existed?
Hey Kyle, love the show! I just want to thank you for single handedly reinvigorating my love of science! My question is this. If vibranium is so good at absorbing kinetic energy, could it ever be forged? Or would everything made of it have to be cast?
I.LikeToCommentLongComments, I am not speaking of light, I am speaking of plasma. I am speaking of the plasma blade of the lightsaber that Kyle imagined.
BobyTechno It's like if you're holding a torch during daylight. Does the light of the sun passing the fire create a shadow on the other side do to the sunlight around the torch fire not hitting the fire but hitting the ground? How would that look?
is it possible that the Vibranium meteorite exploded when it embedded itself onto the earth's crust???... according to the comics and Shuri in the movie if T'challa surpasses the limitation it's suit can absorb, then his suit will disperse that potential energy into a somewhat compressed yet destructive kinetic energy (as seen when he expelled some o some cars in South Korea)... so what I assumed is that upon entering the earth the meteorite kept absorbing kinetic energy, along with heat and continuously gain momentum, to the point where if it exceeded it's capacity and exploded inside the earth's crust... I know it sounds silly but if you consider how early Wakandans harvested this metal, it would be pretty useless to use stone/metal tools on a rock that absorbs energy... also the topography of Wakanda gave me an idea about the exploded vibranium theory because Wakanda is located within a valley like terrain where you could possibly depict a possible meteorite impact... and maybe to give some additional info which may help, or give hell, to this problematic theme about Vibranium, there is another type of Vibranium which is the exact opposite of the Vibranium found in wakanda. it's called "Antarctic Vibranium" aka "Anti-Metal" another rare alloy in the Marvel universe that has particular properties that makes it different from it's Wakandan counterpart. Anti-metal actually emits a sort of energy that melts other metals, even Adamantium, and this may very well be a Catalyst that would help Vibranium in its breach towards earth... So would a Meteorite with 2 compunds, one that absorbs energy and one that desperse or melts metals, have a different effect???... I mean I could see the vibranium meteor explode above the earth separating Wakandan Vibranium from Antarctic Vibranium or even be the outermost shell of the meteorite impacting the earth creating a valley as to where wakanda would rise... but I can't say for sure, I'm not a scientist... I'm just a guy trying to be smart and lacks sleep because of my board exam reviews, notes, and take home test... P.S. I love this show, this is where I get my Science notes and go full on Nerd/Geek... Mabuhay...
If you get punched by vibranium/black panther boxing glove does it fall of you as pathetically, as ball thrown at BP suit? Is that why he uses claws? :D
All the momentum would get sent straight into you. Vibranium, as depicted in Black Panther, stops objects relative to itself, so from the glove's perspective you'd be moving towards the glove even if you were completely stationary relative to the ground. So the glove wouldn't slow down, it'd be like getting hit with an unstoppable object.
No matter how much it is explained, its always hard to grasp. Think about it this way. If someone throws a water balloon, or one of those huge infladable gym balls, at your face, the water balloon or big ball will absorb great part of the kinetic energy, but it would still hurt. . . Its also possible that the suit doesn't absorb all kinetic energy. Bear with me. Lemme explain. Vibrainium might be pretty hard to deform. So it only absorbs forces powerful enough to deform it. Which is actually how bulletproof steel plates work. Vibranium is just much better at it, probably due to its durability and elasticity.
I feel like Vibranium (in the MCU at least) doesn't so much absorb kinetic energy as it does distribute it easily. BP's suit is specially made with absurdly advanced tech that allows this kinetic energy to be stored instead of dispersing, and also likely acts as an extremely efficient cushioning system for BP himself, one that could likely be made to prefer one direction. BP could likely have his suit immediately release the energy from the punch/kick locally as its being absorbed, effectively nullifying Vibranium's cushioning effects in that instant. Also, side note, his claws have the added benefit of being made from "Antarctic Vibranium," which (somehow) amplifies kinetic energy, likely by transferring super low-frequency vibration (like impacting an object) into super high-frequency vibration (somehow). Though the science doesn't really hold up very well to my knowledge, this allows Antarctic Vibranium in the comics to greatly weaken bonds between atoms and molecules (particularly in metals) and cut through them more easily (including lower-quality Vibranium and Adamantium), thus why he was able to scratch Cap's shield
NOT PRODUCTIVE PRODUCTIONS to be Honest, it would just need to trigger the pleasure centers of the brain intensely enough...I think🤔🤔🤔 I am no doctor 🤣🤣🤣
Would the vibranium being super heated upon entry change the pliability of the metal itself, thus changing the properties and impact? P.S. - Kyle, buddy, I love you. My kids love this show and they crack up watching you.
heating of a metal strips it of oxygen molecules making it more pure in a way. however it would take a certain amount of heat to make it pliable...and we dont know how much that is. heating a metal doesnt change it's properties either. the only to do that is to add other metals to it. which is why titanium is an alloy.
A logical consequence of being able to absorb kinetic energy and vibrations is that the vibranium can also absorb heat, which is basically molecules moving quickly at microscopic scales. Sp... it won't ever heat up.
Interesting, according to Kyle, Black Panther uses some sort of nano-springs to transfer kinetic energy, but Gambit transfers it just with his mind right? So i imagine he has to make the atoms in whatever he's transferring the energy to a little more unstable... Something like that i guess.
If we judge just by the comic description, that he is able to manipulate their kinetic energy, Gambit might be world endingly powerful, like Juggernaut and Thor's hammer.
Gambit charges object that he throws, usually playing cards because they are numerous and inconspicuous enough to draw attention to himself, and charges them with an unknown form of explosive energy. He CAN charge up objects of almost any size with this energy but the larger and more massive the object he charges, the longer it takes to charge it and the more draining it is for him (also, the more explosive potential it has. Also, the less throwable it is so it would be a bomb instead of a conventional weapon.), which is why he prefers to stick with using playing cards.
10:01 You say this would be the most tame meteor impact of this size in earth history, but if every meteorit gets destroyed that has less than 25km diamater, then this is the only meteor that will make it to then into the ground, which makes it the most destructive, no?
We made Fricking live in a lab using a computer, we can make 2 headed corns We made Fricking Sonic weapons and soviets made one gigant burrower that can dig a mountain and a telepathy machine, yeah I think we know something enough
Cause the things we do understand about science are true. Maybe we don't understand every small detail, but anything, especially anything happening on the macroscale like this, our physics is extremely accurate and applicable. What we'll find out later won't change what the truth value of what we know now. Momentum will still be conserved no matter what we find.
I think there are a few from the Guardians of the Galaxy that might beg to differ. There are technologies in Marvel's universe*S* that manipulate reality. Nothing in wakanda is even close to that. It's a feel good story for black folks and oppressed nerds to have some type of hope. So they try to make it impressive. I think it's also some kind of narrative about anyone being able to excel given the proper circumstances. Shi'ar, Skrull, and kree all seem well beyond anything on earth. They are considered civilizations but were counties at some point, right?
with the strength of the magnet that moves the golden gate bridge he could manipulate nonferrous materials, namely organic matter, hes legitimately wasting his time even messing around with metals
In the comics the amount of vibrianum that struck the earth might have been that small amount that you mentioned. But in the movie (I'm presuming this episode was inspired because of the movie), there is a lot more vibrianum. Almost everything, including the cars, armour suits, weapons, hence even the clothes of the Wakandans have vibrianum inter-weaved with the fabric. Basically my point is; the amount of vibrianum in movie is probably as much as a mountain. Also aren't asteroids/comets made up of more than one element? I mean since when have we ever come across an asteroid or comet made up of only one element? I'm sure there would be nice, and other elements surrounded the vibrianum asteroid/comet, hence making the initial impact a lot bigger right?
in both Hellboy and Batman: death in the family, as well as many other example, characters are seen to remove a great deal of their own skin and/body parts. while this is a very grim topic, could a person actually survive having no skin?
Tom Lavery I mean, assuming you didn't die of shock, you'd still only live for hardly more than few minutes. Your skin does a lot of things, and one of its primary jobs is body heat regulation. Unless your environment was within 5 or 10 degrees of baseline body temperature, you'd die of hyperthermia or hypothermia very quickly. Assuming the temperature was right, you'd then be susceptible to catastrophic fluid loss not limited to just your blood. Any of these issues would lead to multi-organ failure. If you got around that somehow, you might live long enough to hit the primary killer of burn victims (around half of the fatalities, even if treated in a hospital), which is sepsis. It would be almost impossible to keep infection at bay without the body's primary defense against it. Would be like trying to stop a waterfall with a fishing net.
That explains why Vibranium is found only in and immediately near Wakanda. Without an explosive impact, the meteor would be underground, which we see in the movie. And any small pieces of Vibranium that was caught in the meteors gravity would be scattered in the surrounding areas, explaining why some of the animal and plant life was effected.
I just found your channel and I love it. Question, have you done one on time travel and what that would actually involve considering the movements of the earth?
that is why it is dangerous to move it at high speeds in the movie and they need to "deactivate" it when transporting. Also explains how they use it as a energy source they just release the energy stored.
Azure Griffin ehhhhh kind of, its an alloy with part of it coming from a man made alternative to vibranium, of course there is proto adamantium which caps chield is made of that does have vibranium in it, though its been changed around to the point that in mcu capa shield is made of alternating bands of adamantium and vibranium since they couldnt get them to mix properly, thus wolverines aadamantium uses the false vibranium
I actually think that the reason bullets and other projectile impacts seem to bounce off of most vibranium objects isn't that vibranium fails to absorb all the kinetic force, but rather as a result of the wearer or owners own micromovements, the movement of the very atmosphere, and the atoms of the object rejecting contact with any substance that would prevent them from vibrating themselves. It's the object refusing to allow any other object to require it to stay perfectly still.
How did the OG wakandans mine vibranium if it absorbs kinetic force? I guess a laser might work but they advanced because of the vibranium so they wouldnt have them yet.
Christian Vega I think the number I've seen thrown around is that he can bench 1,000 pounds without aid of any kind. Just his body. For comparison, I believe the world record deadlift is just barely over that number.
*Some Issues here* 1) The amount of Vibranium in the MCU is far greater than the comics. 2) Stop ref Comics lore, completely different. *Also again you last video was wrong as I explained* MCU Vibranium converts *ALL types of energy* (Kinetic is one form of energy) into vibrational energy on the quantum level that can be redirected. Ironically this doesn't change the outcome of the vid this time. 3) I kinda think that what we see in Wakanda is actually a good example. The properties of Vibranium caused A) The Vibranium Ore to not to break up on entry due to it's nature. B) When the Meteor hit earth rather than a big explosion the Vibranium Ore converted the energy into Vibrational energy some of this could of caused multiple ore deposits to liquefy due to the fact if you store too much energy in Vibranium it melts. However as this video correctly explains is that the momentum is still in effect. *Thus the entire Meteor containing the Ore breaks apart and berried itself in the ground deep below the surface.* It would keep going into the ground until the momentum ran out.
Maybe I got something wrong, but wouldn't the force applied to the suit because of a high five would also act upon the hand that that is moving? That means that the high five/meteor strike/walking wouldn't be silent, but rather "half silent"?
When I was a little kid, and I was reading about Captain America's shield, which I believe is also made out of vibranium oh, I was told that it reflects and redirects all the force and energy coming into it. Has the cannon changed? Is Captain America's shield something different now? And how does vibranium help people heal?
Technically he'd either have to be worthy or strong enough to overcome the enchantement, which directly ties itself to whatever planet/plane it's on. So he'd be moving the entire world I'd think lol
Something I have to ask about the assumption of vibranium. As I understand it from the comics is it actually absorbs more than just kinetic energy. It also absorbs other "vibrational" energy.........I always assumed it absorbed the impact of things that hit it. If that is correct wouldn't it make it so that he wasn't shoved around so much?
if vibranium absorbs all of the kinetic energy, doesn't it means that a person wearing such a suit wouldn't be able to even punch you? action = reaction
The problem with assuming that a 10,000 ton meteor would disintegrate before impact is that you're not considering that the 10,000 tons of our Vibranium meteor is what is left of it after it travelled through the atmosphere. The original spacial meteor would have been significantly larger before the Wakandans encountered it.
That's what I was thinking too.
Also, not all of that kinetic energy is directed into the meteor. Quite a bit of it is radiated as heat (in all directions, roughly, not just back into it), and objects don't conduct energy instantly either, so it takes time for the meteor to absorb that energy. :)
Doubt it was 100% Vibranium either. Likely had other mineral ores within as well.
Im a blacksmith your right the intre heat would have melted the crust of the meteor as pounds of metal is melting in the atmosphere and falling off it would start wieghting less and less
he addressed all of this at the very beginning
How could they even farm vibranium to made their weapons etc if it wouldnt break with pickaxes but absorb the kinetic energy? 🤔
Rizzuna's Amv/Mv melt it
Perhaps the raw vibranium ore doesnt have those amazing properties, such that it only becomes super kinetically absorbant after being forged or processed into useful materials. That way, you could mine the stuff; you just wouldnt be able to fix or repair stuff once made.
The comics explain it I believe
@@jonathonpolk3592 Makes sense
Gavin he means they purify it and that’s why it doesn’t have the properties because it’s not pure
They said it’s 1/3 the weight of steel so use that for density
And why say "use that for density" rather than simply stating it'd be between 2,58g/cm³ and 2,68g/cm³ based on said statements? Which, in case anyone wonders makes it lighter than aluminium.
@@joelongo450 Non US countries use commas not periods for decimals >.>
Steel is roughly 7.8g/cm3, so his figure for density by using Titanium was higher - which would make the meteor larger by about 40%, still barely 30-35m wide, still terribly small
Joseph Longo Look I get that you’re trolling because of how idiotic you seem, it’s nearly painful to read, but seriously the comma thing is just how many countries as a whole do it. Just because we’re an exception to the rules established by everyone else in the world doesn’t make us right
Joseph Longo I do use commas, because I am also an American. We are the weirdos here, we are the ones doing the thing wrong while most people do it correctly. And it’s just swapped usage dude, in Germany for example, it’s 1.000 while here in the US it’s 1,000. It’s almost like there are differences in how things work when you’re in the new country that decided to do everything wrong just to separate itself from the posh brits. And grams were defined by the French yeah, but the Greeks used the same unit, just had a different name. Meanwhile ounces still aren’t even defined because there’s 11 different ounces for mass, and then fluid ounces, which aren’t even for mass, they’re for volume, because ounce is basically just “some small amount” that we’ve kept using for way too long instead of standardizing it.
You just made me realize, science class in high school in the marvel universe would be very interesting.
This channel is awesome!
Yours IS NOT
That must be why shuri said she had to deactivate the vibranium in order to transfer it safely to the surface. The vibranium still had the kinetic energy from its collision with earth stored up and wound probably cause a problem if not deactivated. Please notify if I've made any mistakes.
That would explain why it is mentioned as volatile and could be their source of power.
Painteagle nice to know i wasn't the only person thinking that
Yeah this is the first thing that came to mind. If it had absorved all that kinetic energy and never released it... well oh my Wakanda is sitting on a bomb :o
I have had that same idea! It could even be used a power source!
any idea how??? maybe a video idea for kyle
So with these revelations in mind, wtf would happen with a vibranium bullet? Could you accelerate a vibrium slug in the barrel or would the gun explode? Would it do more or less damage then a normal bullet? Should Stark be tipping all his anti tank rounds with it?
*Edit: Great convo in the comments y'all! I think we concluded that it would shoot, and you wouldn't want your body to be the earth in this meteor comparison!
The bullet would still be pushed by the acceleration of the gases created by the cartridge.
Matter Beam does it penetrate ?
Because momentum is conserved, the bullet will lose it upon impact with a target. So, just like a normal bullet, it will apply a lot of pressure onto a small surface - it penetrates!
Would make one hell of a clean entrence wound
psychowolf 5552 what if it's hollowpoint?
In the game "Portal," you have two portals on the floor and ceiling, creating an infinite fall. If you dropped an object into it, it would reach terminal velocity and cease to accelerate due to air resistance. So what would happen if you dropped it in a vacuum? Would it continue to accelerate indefinitely due to gravity? If so, why would it not reach the speed of light?
*hit blunt*
terminal velocity not only relies on air resistance but on gravity, so it would still reach a terminal velocity.
In theory off the top of my head I want to say yes to this. Because it keeps resetting to the top of the fall without anything to slow it down in some way it would continue to accelerate indefinitely. I feel that the acceleration for reach loop would be reduced slightly as time progresses though as the object would pass through the loop in a shorter time each pass.
Certainly needs a closer look though.
Two portals separated by a length of air will cause the object to reach a terminal velocity....
However, imagine a set of portal separated by a distance smaller than the length of the object, or even with NO separation. The object would accelerate until it reached the speed of light.
Yes, without air resistance, it could accelerate until getting very close to the speed of light
Didn't think about it's kinetic energy absorption but there is a problem in that explanation. We see in the movie the mine of Vibranium and it's HUGE, large enough to use multiple maglev trains. We also see a very large volume of the stuff, both in the different weapons and items created with it (assuming it's not used as alloy) but also as raw form in the trains and in stocking containers. So either the 10.000T is false information from Wakanda or Vibranium's density is much, much lower than Titanium is, which changes drastically the size of the meteor that would need to impact Earth to create such a mine.
We also would need to consider that Wakanda is using the stuff for many years and it is a finite resource so even if there is still 10.000T "today", it still was much more when it hit the ground, especially considering that like with everything else, Wakanda had to learn how to use it effectively, therefor wasting a lot of the material.
Rin Vibranium is "stronger than steel, and one third of the weight", as stated by Howard Stark in CA:TFA
Doesn't change much for the size of the mine, the mass lost in experimentation etc ...
it brings the size of the meteor to about 18.8m so yeah it doesn't make much of a difference. only commented to inform you of the metals density since you mentioned that you didn't know it
Except that it's not what we see being depicted. The volumes don't match and with it, the size of the meteor that hit the ground. But thank you for bringing more information.
Rin I guess they just assumed that most people wouldn't question it and didn't bother to make sure that it was all factually and mathematically correct 🤷🏻
"it would hit him and drop off pathetically" best quote in all of youtube
With all the properties it has, how is Vibranium mined? Wouldn't it break all the normal tools just trying to mine it since it can absorb all that energy from the tools? It can't be just the suit that absorbs the energy, look at all the abuse Captain America's can take and not take a scratch. If they just melt it, how would they have enough heat to melt it?
soccertl This
It actually gets harder as it absorbs energy in the comics I believe. So it is way softer at first
soccertl maybe something like with diamonds they use vibranium stuff to mine the same thing
You sir are asking the real kind of questions.
Same with adamantium btw
I am doing A-level physics at the moment and these videos are great for putting formulas that i am learning into practice in a really nerdy way perfect for me to understand it better.
Thank you so much for making these videos, keep up the great work.
Is it fair to call The Flash ,"The Insecticide". Does he not kill insects flying around the city while he runs at superspeed as the speed force protects him.( Presuming central city has insects). If he does kill insects by running into them, how many ,does he incinerate them ? I need answers people!!!!!!! Btw love the show Kyle.
That's a fun question! I think how the comics would explain it it that the flash would pick up insects and move them with him for a bit and then drop them off, and while they are with him, they would move like insects do around a normal runner. At least that's basically how the comics describe the air moving and how he can grab people at full speed. That could be a lot of random insects that travel around the world with him as he runs. Another interesting question would be what mix of smells the flash would carry with him as he runs, transporting the air with him.
Painteagle ,cool theory never thought of it that way.
well the speed force does alter physics around him, so it's possible they pass around him.
You'll need to find out the density of insects in the air in a urban area and the frontal surface of the flash while running.
jonathan kydd well if insects passed around him then the flash would never get shot by a bullet ,he wouldn't even have to dodge,right?
two things I want to add:
1.you can even see that vibranium doesn't absorb momentum in the movie when t'challa kicks the suit in the beginning and sends it flying.
2. I haven't read the comics but like you said it the meteor had 10.000 tons of Vibranium as it *hit earth* so it could actually happen right? Since there could have been waayy more as it started it's journey but most of it burned away until there were only those 10.000 tons left that are now lying around there...
And to add a quick question wouldn't it technically have that kind of shockwave effect we see from the suit? because you said they would use springs inside the suit to then have them blast out all of that energy. and since every material is able to be pushed together just a tiny little bit and go back to it's normal form I think that on this enourmous scale it would still make something noticeable
The Lore is that of the Earths core being entirely vibranium. Which is actually a Celestial Being before it is born fully. Cool to mention that this is also the reason for all super powered beings born on Earth; the Celestial having to protect itself.
Damstraight68 nice to know
timo engelmann as for the shockwaves, yes, i do think that would be possibile (on a way lower scale tho) but certainly not as we have seen in the movie, with the orange and purple effects.
I rather think that vibranium is able to transform most of an impacts kinetic energy into heat, rapidly evaporating some of the vibranium in the suit, thus rapidly increasing its volume, which could indeed lead to a visual shockwave, with the different colours being caused through combining the vibranium with different other materials
It's just a movie and Vibranium is not real 😂
James Epic! and what about santa ?
Kyle these videos are marvelous! Get it.
Your mission to make science interesting, and entertaining is the same mission that Adam and Jamie had with mythbusers. I know you hosted the new mythbusters recruitment show but why didn’t you take the job yourself? I would have loved to see you on tv and think you definitely live up to the name.
Didn't Howard Stark say vibranium is "stronger than steel and a third of the weight" in CA:TFA?
Did he? If that's canon and Kyle missed it, corrections are due~
can confirm I saw it a few days ago
+
Can confirm
Now it makes me wonder how did Howard got the vibranium in the first place
If I hadn’t seen the movie the use of rhinos in the video would seem extremely random lol
blvckraikage I havent watched the movie yet, but I just decided not to question it...
Spoiler alert: There are rhinos -- KH
I have not seen the movie and , being a regular BS-er, I think the lack of lightsabers in the video was extremely random
I have not seen the movie, thought the rhino was random, and then read this comment. And with that, we come full circle!
Because Science
Armored Attack Rhinos.
I think Bear Cavallery has gotten some serious competition.
But Vibranium isn't silent. In fact, it's the opposite of silent : everytime you move an amount of vibranium, it starts emitting this peculiar "ringing" noise, that stops only when the Vibranium stops moving. Could it be that instead of "absorbing" energy dispersion that is usually expressed through sound and heat, vibranium actually "redirects" any amount of kinetic energy that would normally disperse in it as heat and deformation, and instead produces sound ?
the impact would be loud as fuck
exactly, you actually see that in the avengers movie when thor hits the captain's shield with the mjolnir. all the energy just disperses and create a huge shockwave
That's why it's called vibranium and what our thor doesn't understand. It doesn't absorb things by vibrating. It just magically absorbs any threat and emits it back out as sound by vibrating the energy off at high frequencies.
you're not a genius leave the thinking and science stuff to the experts , like this guy!
THE GREAT HERMIT OF NO LIFE what if he is though!!!????
Hmmmmmmm......🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
What if you threw Mjolnir at Black Panther? (Assuming you were worthy)
@Lizardguy i wonder if they'd play catch with mjolnir
Mjolnir is a Quantum Drived "Drone" powered by a controlled gyroscope made of the star alloy. That allows all of its properties. If that, Black Panther wouldnt be able to stop it, since Mjolnir movement would be driven by pure momentum, not kinetic energy.
Sorry. I didnt catch on the worthiness part.
Isn't captain america's sheild also vibranium, cause they show this happening in one of the movies when thor hits captain america's shield so it would probably have a similar effect and launch black panther either up and dig him into the ground
Howard Stark stated in Captain America: The First Avenger (when Cap first gets his shield) that Vibranium is "stronger than steel and a third the weight". If steel is roughly 7.85 g/cm3, then Vibranium should be about 2.61 g/cm3.
This question needs be accounted for.. Good reference..
Is it logical to assume the meteor wasn’t pure vibranium (as in, was incased in a larger rock medium? How would that change the implications of the impact?
In older versions of the comics the vibranium meteor was encased in "metal x" a metal that causes the vibranium to become inert, they did this just to explain how they mined it
it would mean some heat, some explody bits on impact. But assuming the vibranium is holding the meteor together, i'm guessing only the outer layers would be affected and given what he states about how anything under 25m in diameter burns/brakes up before hitting soil, safe to assume most of that material would have vaporised in atmo. I think. I'm not doing this with numbers but "instinct" and what I understood.
I suppose an initial question is how large a meteor is needed for the vibranium core to arrive on earth intact, and how much mass it would have.
My main concern is F=MA. If the mass is larger due to the coating rock/metal x, and said protective barrier was mostly evaporated when it hit the atmosphere, then would M1*A1 = M2*A2, and hence change the impact speed of the meteor and the resulting crater?
I think a simpler question would be how big would the meteor have to be for them to have that much vibranium. It’s stated they had that much of it there’s no way of getting around that.
5:58 - Getting hit in the face by a rhino? There's a word for that: Rhinoblasty.
Save it for the edit -- KH
Just saw all your videos on Vibranium, and now I'm wondering how the hell it's possible to mine it with primitive tools. Wakanda's a technological marvel now, but when it first landed they'd still have to mine it and forge it by hitting it with tools. Wouldn't the Vibranium absorb those impacts and make it impossible for a primitive culture to use?
you can cut vibranium. it's shock absorbent not indestructible,
@@ZUnknownFox Yes but current cutting technology outside of lasers are impact based.
Hey Kyle, I bring you a Gambit vs Vibranium question (I just love Gambit, please?). Gambit has the power to take the potencial energy of a (not living) object, and turn it into Kinetic energy (or something like that), to the point where the object end ups blowing up. On Captain America vs Gambit we see Gambit charging Cap's shield. How is it possible for a material that absorbs Kinetic energy to be so charged up that ends up blowing up like that? Thanks!
oh look its the avenger with the best hair, Thor.
& ily
You should make a march item soundboard thing that says "Cmon give it to me" and other iconic Kyle catchphrases LOL
You've not seen Ragnarok, I take it.
*Tony
Not true he's not Thor
the cool thing you forgot is that the Vibranium mine does seem to be in a simple hole in the ground and not a crater!
Wouldn't it make more sense to construct the meteor out of a substance that is already on the super level. I had always believed vibrainium to be more akin to boron nitride or BN due to its already high thermal absorption (melting point 2'973 C), low density (2.1g/cm*3), and high durability (due to it naturally having a hexagonal crystal lattice and it's most promising aspect the wurtzite form). Since we are giving vibrainum a lot of leeway, can't we give it just a little more here too?
Titanium is a good one to compare w'vibrainium to as its actual durability is simaler to steel its the unique property that gives it its ridiculous abilities keep in its raw form it gains stupid abilities whrn alloyed ( like how oru is basicly like steel till enchanted)
Because Vibranium has properties that arn't realistic to our current materials so your material would behave in away that wouldn't even resemble Vibranium.
Just because Vibranium is near pearless in durability doesn't mean you can substitute it for another of high durability.
Tesla Virus true
Hozimina looks like someone has been listening at the chemistry class
The energy during the entry was released underground, that's what made the hollow space there, right?
Does the meteor have a threshold or maximum amount of energy it can absorb? Or does the whole absorbing kinetic energy thing is just Suri's nanoengineering? Because the suit has visual hint of threshold, it glows as it get 'charged' up with potential energy.
Are you referring to the Savage Land?
Now that we've gotten Wakanda Forever, we know that a) the meteor _did_ break up when it hit the atmosphere - half went to Wakanda, another half to a certain spot in the Mexican Gulf. Presumably there might also be a chunk in Antarctica if they borrow more from the comics, a chunk that has a kind of destabilizing effect on regular vibranium. The vibranium we see in the movies is an alloy, and the actual raw stuff resembles porous volcanic rock with blue glowy bits in it. That's also when it's got the weird magic-type radiation to it that makes everything exposed to it go super - in the final alloyed form it just looks like darker steel. The Black Panther suits are lacquered - the claws are un-colored and look like polished, chromed steel, the war club Killmonger claims from the museum looks like regular, brushed steel. The weakness it has is sonic vibrations along certain frequencies, which might have been reached during the descent.
...TL;DR, the meteor wasn't invincible when it hit the atmosphere and split up into chunks along the southern hemisphere.
If his suit adsorbs the sound of him walking to make him silent, could someone wearing it be able to talk and or hear through the barrier of said suit?
Only the shoes emit no sounds - or else he'd have the deadpool issue of being muffled.
It wouldn't break up in the atmosphere because that is due to friction with the air, and since it absorbs kinetic energy, the collisions with air molecules would not heat up vibranium significantly.
Blake Lee then surely it would permenantly be near absolute 0.
This is correct!
It would still heat up, that's what absorbing kinetic energy means
Heat energy just is the kinetic motion of atoms and molecules at the nano-scale.
If vibranium can absorb kinetic energy, then it can absorb heat.
@Brendan Balken
Matter Beam is correct. If vibranium can absorb kinetic energy, it can absorb heat as well
EDIT: Also, vibranium *IS* magic. Don't get it twisted.
Could a mantis shrimp puncture Black Panther's suit?
Devin Rodriguez I believe the movie says the Vibranium is woven. So if it’s strike is thin enough to pass through, yes.
Am I the only one who would love to see that confused ass mantis shrimp realizing his punch of death did fuck all to the suit?
Devin Rodriguez lol
No
Devin Rodriguez uuu
I doubt you’ll read this but my wife called you “physics Fabio”!
Another great episode. Love it man, I've learned so much from watching your videos for three years now. How can i suggest an episode? I have so many questions.
*I LOVE BECAUSE SCIENCE*
*THANK YOU -- KH*
*I LOVE BECAUSE I CAN*
Because of course you post this right as I'm walking into my genetics lab lol.
since Vibranium is known to absorb most if not all kinetic energy, would Black Panther not freeze to death inside the suit?
Nero Remember that Wakanda has a very advanced technology. Black Panther's suit might have a heating system.
No, because he neva freeze
becouse mans not hot
Kyle, Love the channel m,man. Two questions:
1. If Vibranium absorbs sound, how does anyone hear T'Challa speak when he's wearing the Black Panther outfit?
2. Could Black Bolt destroy the vibranium meteor in Wakanda?
Doesn't Vibranium also use said kinetic energy absorbed to strengthen itself comic-wise>?
You would be correct. When the energy is absorbed, it would store those energies within the subatomic bonds of the Vibranium itself. Therefore, it would become stronger the more you hit it until it overloads and it explodes Comic wise. Read rise of the black panther vol 1 1, it basically says what i have said about it storing the energy in its bonds.
Kyle, I have a question- in the movie, we see the Vibranium mines as yawning and cavernous, far more so than anything 20m across. If it was, say, a kilometer, would it still be very tame?
Thanks,
A guy who heard a meteor over his house in January
Taking into account how vibranium works, would it be prudent to revisit the various points and episodes about Captain America's shield?
Damn those hivefives are so unsatisfying.
i honestly never thought i would enjoy science, i despised it when i was in school, but you almost make me want to go back & do it properly.
I would love to see him switch from comics to anime and answer. What would really happen to our bodies if we were to pilot a Gundam or practically any large scale war mech existed?
Hey Kyle, love the show! I just want to thank you for single handedly reinvigorating my love of science! My question is this. If vibranium is so good at absorbing kinetic energy, could it ever be forged? Or would everything made of it have to be cast?
Does a lightsaber has a shadow?
BobyTechno yes and no. light has no shadow but the handle does
I.LikeToCommentLongComments, I am not speaking of light, I am speaking of plasma. I am speaking of the plasma blade of the lightsaber that Kyle imagined.
actually light does have a shadow, of you have a weak flashlight and shine a laser through it the laser will block some light and leave a shadow.
BobyTechno
It's like if you're holding a torch during daylight. Does the light of the sun passing the fire create a shadow on the other side do to the sunlight around the torch fire not hitting the fire but hitting the ground? How would that look?
Only if you use a light that's significantly brighter than the lightsaber.
You never stop making me interested, keep it up
You should do a video like this on Cyclops visor and how it blocks his optic blast but still let's him use his powers
These videos are my physics revision
is it possible that the Vibranium meteorite exploded when it embedded itself onto the earth's crust???... according to the comics and Shuri in the movie if T'challa surpasses the limitation it's suit can absorb, then his suit will disperse that potential energy into a somewhat compressed yet destructive kinetic energy (as seen when he expelled some o some cars in South Korea)... so what I assumed is that upon entering the earth the meteorite kept absorbing kinetic energy, along with heat and continuously gain momentum, to the point where if it exceeded it's capacity and exploded inside the earth's crust... I know it sounds silly but if you consider how early Wakandans harvested this metal, it would be pretty useless to use stone/metal tools on a rock that absorbs energy... also the topography of Wakanda gave me an idea about the exploded vibranium theory because Wakanda is located within a valley like terrain where you could possibly depict a possible meteorite impact...
and maybe to give some additional info which may help, or give hell, to this problematic theme about Vibranium, there is another type of Vibranium which is the exact opposite of the Vibranium found in wakanda. it's called "Antarctic Vibranium" aka "Anti-Metal" another rare alloy in the Marvel universe that has particular properties that makes it different from it's Wakandan counterpart. Anti-metal actually emits a sort of energy that melts other metals, even Adamantium, and this may very well be a Catalyst that would help Vibranium in its breach towards earth... So would a Meteorite with 2 compunds, one that absorbs energy and one that desperse or melts metals, have a different effect???... I mean I could see the vibranium meteor explode above the earth separating Wakandan Vibranium from Antarctic Vibranium or even be the outermost shell of the meteorite impacting the earth creating a valley as to where wakanda would rise... but I can't say for sure, I'm not a scientist... I'm just a guy trying to be smart and lacks sleep because of my board exam reviews, notes, and take home test...
P.S. I love this show, this is where I get my Science notes and go full on Nerd/Geek... Mabuhay...
If you get punched by vibranium/black panther boxing glove does it fall of you as pathetically, as ball thrown at BP suit? Is that why he uses claws? :D
Tomek Dymek No you'd still get hurt and move back due to reaction. Though the punching sound might not happen.
It's gonna hurt... If you get punched
All the momentum would get sent straight into you. Vibranium, as depicted in Black Panther, stops objects relative to itself, so from the glove's perspective you'd be moving towards the glove even if you were completely stationary relative to the ground. So the glove wouldn't slow down, it'd be like getting hit with an unstoppable object.
No matter how much it is explained, its always hard to grasp. Think about it this way. If someone throws a water balloon, or one of those huge infladable gym balls, at your face, the water balloon or big ball will absorb great part of the kinetic energy, but it would still hurt.
.
.
Its also possible that the suit doesn't absorb all kinetic energy. Bear with me. Lemme explain. Vibrainium might be pretty hard to deform. So it only absorbs forces powerful enough to deform it. Which is actually how bulletproof steel plates work. Vibranium is just much better at it, probably due to its durability and elasticity.
I feel like Vibranium (in the MCU at least) doesn't so much absorb kinetic energy as it does distribute it easily. BP's suit is specially made with absurdly advanced tech that allows this kinetic energy to be stored instead of dispersing, and also likely acts as an extremely efficient cushioning system for BP himself, one that could likely be made to prefer one direction. BP could likely have his suit immediately release the energy from the punch/kick locally as its being absorbed, effectively nullifying Vibranium's cushioning effects in that instant. Also, side note, his claws have the added benefit of being made from "Antarctic Vibranium," which (somehow) amplifies kinetic energy, likely by transferring super low-frequency vibration (like impacting an object) into super high-frequency vibration (somehow). Though the science doesn't really hold up very well to my knowledge, this allows Antarctic Vibranium in the comics to greatly weaken bonds between atoms and molecules (particularly in metals) and cut through them more easily (including lower-quality Vibranium and Adamantium), thus why he was able to scratch Cap's shield

Probably wouldn't even able to hear the person wearing the suit speak.
Would the vibranium being super heated upon entry change the pliability of the metal itself, thus changing the properties and impact?
P.S. - Kyle, buddy, I love you. My kids love this show and they crack up watching you.
heating of a metal strips it of oxygen molecules making it more pure in a way. however it would take a certain amount of heat to make it pliable...and we dont know how much that is. heating a metal doesnt change it's properties either. the only to do that is to add other metals to it. which is why titanium is an alloy.
A logical consequence of being able to absorb kinetic energy and vibrations is that the vibranium can also absorb heat, which is basically molecules moving quickly at microscopic scales. Sp... it won't ever heat up.
How does gambits mutation powers work?
Interesting question
Interesting, according to Kyle, Black Panther uses some sort of nano-springs to transfer kinetic energy, but Gambit transfers it just with his mind right? So i imagine he has to make the atoms in whatever he's transferring the energy to a little more unstable... Something like that i guess.
If we judge just by the comic description, that he is able to manipulate their kinetic energy, Gambit might be world endingly powerful, like Juggernaut and Thor's hammer.
Gambit charges object that he throws, usually playing cards because they are numerous and inconspicuous enough to draw attention to himself, and charges them with an unknown form of explosive energy. He CAN charge up objects of almost any size with this energy but the larger and more massive the object he charges, the longer it takes to charge it and the more draining it is for him (also, the more explosive potential it has. Also, the less throwable it is so it would be a bomb instead of a conventional weapon.), which is why he prefers to stick with using playing cards.
Its always described, @dragonweyr44, as kinetic energy. Hence the question.
10:01 You say this would be the most tame meteor impact of this size in earth history, but if every meteorit gets destroyed that has less than 25km diamater, then this is the only meteor that will make it to then into the ground, which makes it the most destructive, no?
A bigger asteroid can break up and still drop a 20m wide chunk on the ground, making them massive impacts.
An alien meteorite? Is there a non alien meteorite?

How can you expect to understand most technologically advanced country of marvel comics with our current understanding of science..
Wakanda was an inch away from a third world country.
We made Fricking live in a lab using a computer, we can make 2 headed corns
We made Fricking Sonic weapons and soviets made one gigant burrower that can dig a mountain and a telepathy machine, yeah I think we know something enough
What we came up with it didn’t we? how else would end up in a movie...aliens?
Cause the things we do understand about science are true. Maybe we don't understand every small detail, but anything, especially anything happening on the macroscale like this, our physics is extremely accurate and applicable. What we'll find out later won't change what the truth value of what we know now. Momentum will still be conserved no matter what we find.
I think there are a few from the Guardians of the Galaxy that might beg to differ. There are technologies in Marvel's universe*S* that manipulate reality. Nothing in wakanda is even close to that.
It's a feel good story for black folks and oppressed nerds to have some type of hope. So they try to make it impressive. I think it's also some kind of narrative about anyone being able to excel given the proper circumstances.
Shi'ar, Skrull, and kree all seem well beyond anything on earth. They are considered civilizations but were counties at some point, right?
Can't magneto produce a strong magnetic field to produce a opposing magnetic field inside a copper jacketed bullet
thomas leach Dude....Totally headache just thinking about this status. That is a very good question.
Phillip Romar I thought is if he could make it strong enough couldn't it stop the bullet
It really depends, there are many "types" of magnetism within different type of magnets. Magneto can control one of those types.
im more then reasonably sure that mags can control *all* types of magnetism. As evidenced by Apocalypse.
with the strength of the magnet that moves the golden gate bridge he could manipulate nonferrous materials, namely organic matter, hes legitimately wasting his time even messing around with metals
Would ben 10 omnitrix work( 99 and more different aliens transformation)
Short answer: No.
Long answer: Noooooooooo.
I'm thinking the most probable answer is viruses but that seems pretty sketchy.
Did he just do a "sneakers" joke.....He did didn't he.
Depends on the type of vibranium, some absorb kinetic energy, some absorb sound waves, some are just metal, some have qualities of each.
Destiny 2 the striker Titan how can you run faster,jump higher,punch and conduct thunder and lightning into a fighting style.
In the comics the amount of vibrianum that struck the earth might have been that small amount that you mentioned.
But in the movie (I'm presuming this episode was inspired because of the movie), there is a lot more vibrianum. Almost everything, including the cars, armour suits, weapons, hence even the clothes of the Wakandans have vibrianum inter-weaved with the fabric.
Basically my point is; the amount of vibrianum in movie is probably as much as a mountain.
Also aren't asteroids/comets made up of more than one element? I mean since when have we ever come across an asteroid or comet made up of only one element? I'm sure there would be nice, and other elements surrounded the vibrianum asteroid/comet, hence making the initial impact a lot bigger right?
He did mention it was only 50% vibranium, but the movie canon is significantly different.
Nice nod to Wolfram-Alpha.

in both Hellboy and Batman: death in the family, as well as many other example, characters are seen to remove a great deal of their own skin and/body parts. while this is a very grim topic, could a person actually survive having no skin?
Tom Lavery
I mean, assuming you didn't die of shock, you'd still only live for hardly more than few minutes. Your skin does a lot of things, and one of its primary jobs is body heat regulation. Unless your environment was within 5 or 10 degrees of baseline body temperature, you'd die of hyperthermia or hypothermia very quickly. Assuming the temperature was right, you'd then be susceptible to catastrophic fluid loss not limited to just your blood. Any of these issues would lead to multi-organ failure. If you got around that somehow, you might live long enough to hit the primary killer of burn victims (around half of the fatalities, even if treated in a hospital), which is sepsis. It would be almost impossible to keep infection at bay without the body's primary defense against it. Would be like trying to stop a waterfall with a fishing net.
That explains why Vibranium is found only in and immediately near Wakanda. Without an explosive impact, the meteor would be underground, which we see in the movie. And any small pieces of Vibranium that was caught in the meteors gravity would be scattered in the surrounding areas, explaining why some of the animal and plant life was effected.
10:55 is the best part is going to make it my ringtone..
Maybe the vibranim needs to be activated
there is a super weird, almost white line looking mark under Kyle's chest, scratch on the lens?

Some technical difficulties during this episode, thanks for bearing with us -- KH
The silent claps were so unsatisfying
I just found your channel and I love it. Question, have you done one on time travel and what that would actually involve considering the movements of the earth?
Perfectly spherical meteor
Because Science got it's own channel?! Insta-sub! I just hope you won't lose that many views by switching channels. Keep up the awesome vids!
Great video as usual! Would vibranium’s ability to absorb kinetic energy make it impossible to heat and/or fireproof?
Yup
we DO know the density of vibranium
"stronger than steel, a third of the weight" 1/3 the density of steel!
Then the vibranium would be 8600/3: 2866kg/m^3.
The asteroid would have a diameter of 18.81m.
so not too much of a difference then :)
Subscribed just because for the Wolfram mention.
Kudos.
I actually miss this format. This was really neat and I like this far more than 'the Facility'
Vibranium is 1/3 the density of steel
so the density of Vibraninum is between 2583kg/m^3 and 2683kg/m^3

If vaibranium can absorbe kine tic energy .Where will all the energy from the gaseous explosion and the meteors impact go
the idea is... it didn't go anywhere. The unprocessed Vibranium in Wakanda still has it stored up :x
that is why it is dangerous to move it at high speeds in the movie and they need to "deactivate" it when transporting. Also explains how they use it as a energy source they just release the energy stored.
Why is vibranium lightweight? Doesn't it have atomic number 200?
Also, the bit in the movie about it exploding easily is also an issue.
Matteo Matteo Wolverine's skeleton is adimantuim, not vibranium.
At the very least the raw ore is in a very different configuration from how it is typically processed.
It could just have a low density
Joshua Hillerup adamantium is partially made of vibranium, I think.
Azure Griffin ehhhhh kind of, its an alloy with part of it coming from a man made alternative to vibranium, of course there is proto adamantium which caps chield is made of that does have vibranium in it, though its been changed around to the point that in mcu capa shield is made of alternating bands of adamantium and vibranium since they couldnt get them to mix properly, thus wolverines aadamantium uses the false vibranium
I actually think that the reason bullets and other projectile impacts seem to bounce off of most vibranium objects isn't that vibranium fails to absorb all the kinetic force, but rather as a result of the wearer or owners own micromovements, the movement of the very atmosphere, and the atoms of the object rejecting contact with any substance that would prevent them from vibrating themselves. It's the object refusing to allow any other object to require it to stay perfectly still.
Amazing episode! But it makes me wonder, how big originally was the meteor that created the crater in Arizona?
How did the OG wakandans mine vibranium if it absorbs kinetic force? I guess a laser might work but they advanced because of the vibranium so they wouldnt have them yet.
a laser wouldn't work as it using heat and vibranium absorbs heat (because heat is energy)
except!
the regular rock around the vibranium would explode....
Nice video Kyle.
Video not worth watching. Lore dictates the core of the planet is entirely vibranium. Not addressed
Damstraight68 The fuck are you talking about? The entire core of the earth is made of vibranium? They never said that in Black Panther.
how do you form vibranium into an other shape? you can´t melt it or forge it if it absorbs energy.
Awww! I was half expecting it to bounce away!
How strong is batman compared to the current strongest man
Stronger. He has an exoskeleton in the suit.
Stronger. Wanna know why?
BECAUSE HE'S BATMAN!!!
Christian Vega
I think the number I've seen thrown around is that he can bench 1,000 pounds without aid of any kind. Just his body. For comparison, I believe the world record deadlift is just barely over that number.
damn
kind of like punching a pillow lol memory form leaves a dent but doesn't make much sound lol
*Some Issues here*
1) The amount of Vibranium in the MCU is far greater than the comics.
2) Stop ref Comics lore, completely different. *Also again you last video was wrong as I explained* MCU Vibranium converts *ALL types of energy* (Kinetic is one form of energy) into vibrational energy on the quantum level that can be redirected. Ironically this doesn't change the outcome of the vid this time.
3) I kinda think that what we see in Wakanda is actually a good example. The properties of Vibranium caused
A) The Vibranium Ore to not to break up on entry due to it's nature.
B) When the Meteor hit earth rather than a big explosion the Vibranium Ore converted the energy into Vibrational energy some of this could of caused multiple ore deposits to liquefy due to the fact if you store too much energy in Vibranium it melts. However as this video correctly explains is that the momentum is still in effect. *Thus the entire Meteor containing the Ore breaks apart and berried itself in the ground deep below the surface.* It would keep going into the ground until the momentum ran out.
Maybe I got something wrong, but wouldn't the force applied to the suit because of a high five would also act upon the hand that that is moving? That means that the high five/meteor strike/walking wouldn't be silent, but rather "half silent"?
When I was a little kid, and I was reading about Captain America's shield, which I believe is also made out of vibranium oh, I was told that it reflects and redirects all the force and energy coming into it. Has the cannon changed? Is Captain America's shield something different now? And how does vibranium help people heal?
And wheeen will that meteor releases that energy??😕
Asking the real questions
@@jauxro yep
Can Berus lift Thor's hamer?
Technically he'd either have to be worthy or strong enough to overcome the enchantement, which directly ties itself to whatever planet/plane it's on. So he'd be moving the entire world I'd think lol
Andreja Stojanovic He's been destroying for fun more than duty, so... Not worthy enough
What if Thor's hammer hit the suit that were made from vibranium?
Some Random Guy Lmao Bell noise
We saw that in 2012’s The Avengers when Thor hit Caps shield.
Black panther would have a impact pushing him back. He prob wouldn’t feel anything
faiz abbas your dumb
Black Panthers suit can be overloaded to explode
Something I have to ask about the assumption of vibranium. As I understand it from the comics is it actually absorbs more than just kinetic energy. It also absorbs other "vibrational" energy.........I always assumed it absorbed the impact of things that hit it. If that is correct wouldn't it make it so that he wasn't shoved around so much?
Or in the case of caps shield fall to the ground rather than ricochet
if vibranium absorbs all of the kinetic energy, doesn't it means that a person wearing such a suit wouldn't be able to even punch you? action = reaction
Liked for not being on Nerdist.
