Thanks for watching Super Nerds! Next week, our first expansion show *Because Space* is launching (heh). Catch the first episode with a very special guest on 5/20. Also, Allen and I will see you in Footnotes next Tuesday to finally address all your burning Mortal Kombat questions. (Oh and here's an article on the *Demon Core* if you want to know more: archive.nerdist.com/tickling-the-dragons-tail-the-story-of-the-demon-core/) -- kH
the ancient one explicitly states that the stones are necessary to hold the universe together. so if cap returns them at the end, our timeline in the mcu has no stones. how is the universe not falling apart?
so then peter and pepper should be Fucked i mean peter is a mutant and super human at that but its due to his particualr cellular make up that he eventually becomes man-spider but pepper she uh.. well you tell me Kyle
Not just any star, but a dying neutron star. It’s power ratio is between a supernova (outward energy) & a black hole (inward energy), & if one of them “aimed” its energy at the earth even from millions of light years away, our entire planet would be crisped.

@@mykelowry6734 Black Sabbath - Iron Man Album - Paranoid Release date: 1970 The song is about a man who witnesses a post apocalyptic future and returns to his own time to try and warn people of the coming devastation. . Though during his return the magnetic field turns him into a metal man, mute and unable to tell the people of the disaster they just end up making fun of him and ignoring him, so he becomes the very devastation he has been trying to prevent. Though it gets mistaken to be about Iron Man from the comics, it has more of a closer relation to The Iron Giant story wise.
My daughter and I were watching the Civil War movie again and during it she asked if the Shield Helicarrier was possible; "Dad, could something like that actually be made". I told her I did not know so she told me to "ask that cool science guy that looks like Thor, he knows everything" - well, I am asking (I lost the coin toss on who would do it). While here, I have feel that I should thank you. Your shows have created a real interest in science with your fun and informative look into the MCU, and her grades in this class have increased remarkably since she became a fan.
Short answer: nope, not possible in that form factor. Propellers' blades would have to spin so fast to keep the whole thing in the air, they'd have to be built out of incredibly strong materials to withstand centrifugal forces. Ok, then they've got such superstrong materials and all in the MCU, but they're, again, fictional materials. In real life, we know none up to that kind of task, except possibly carbon nanofibers, if you can manage to create a bunch of them long enough to create the blades (as long as a whole blade). But then there'd be also troubles with the energy source capable of powering electric motors (?) powerful and yet compact enough to fit the blades. And even after all that, below each propeller you'd basically have a miles-high tornado, making it quite unpleasant for whoever happens to be below the flight path of the helicarrier. Or maybe the props would spin so fast (in the order of the kilometers per second, around the hubs) that air wouldn't even be able to move fast enough to fill the gap between one blade and the next. Also, it definitely wouldn't be very stealth, even if you made it invisible. ^^ edit: or maybe it'd be possible if you made the frame out of light materials filled mostly with hydrogen, like a blimp, but I guess that's not what the narrative suggests about how the helicarrier is supposed to be built.
Furrball McDuff It is possible, but it would be years or even decades before we could get all of the materials needed in order to build it. And it would also be expensive as hell. Think of it as the idea of humans going light speed. NASA is working on something like that as we speak, but the boosters would have to be miles wide and would have to carry billions if not trillions of pounds of fuel. And even then it would take about 2 years going in the same direction for the rocket to reach light speed. So it’s not that building the helicarrier is impossible. It would just take a long time

@@mysticalwingsproductions7932 I think out propulsion tech needs to become more concentrated / focused, we've broken the soundbarrier in a modified car, we can do this.
>4 snaps > gamma radiation flying through the universe >radiation causes mutations in Human DNA Well That’s one way to get the X-men into the MCU I guess
but then how would explain quick silver and Wanda in Age of Ultron as Super human before the snap. Cap didn't call them mutants he reffered to them along the lines up enhanced. It can work still but kinda odd.
Heiße Schokolade I’m convinced the reason they explained the snaps with gamma radiation for this reason Because honestly the gauntlet radiating gamma rays in a universe where magic is a real thing makes absolutely no sense except as a set up for mutants. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if they rewrote that part specifically after Disney officially acquired fox
Dominick Thompson that was explained with purposeful genetic enhancement not born mutations. Although I’m assuming that will be retconned since they can actually use the term mutant now
That and effectively it wouldn't be born mutations, since it would be because of the snap regardless. And Quicksilver and Wanda in age of Ultron is proof that this could work, since they were enhanced with the help of the mind stone. Don't forget that it's not just the gamma radiation as well; the stone were atomized during the 2nd snap, which could've already set the groundwork. Also, this does have some precedence in the comics. When Scarlet Witch banished the Phoenix Force, it also lead to the revival of the mutant population.
@@J3point14 @John Holmes III "Cancerous" cells are mutated, and not natural his healing factor would in theory keep him in a state of being compleatly broken till the radiation source was moved away or gradually decayed. I think in cannon for wolverine he would survive it. Thats not to say he wouldn't turn to dust like half the rest of the universe.
Yes and no. A few meters are not enough, unless he has some other protection, but may he stretch way more and he could survive the snap (in theory). The catch is that such radiation would still wreck his arm and, since objects exposed to radiation kinda of get contaminated, liberating some radiation themselves for some time, the sensible decision would be to chop it off. It would be completely unusable anyways... Too much for "cheating the infinity system", don't you think? XD
@@zacharysouth8820 Yeah, agreed. It is still a high price though. And you can only do it what? Two times? That is, unless you make your previously chopped arm regrow with your next snap. I don't know if it is allowed (the fact that Hulk failed to snap Black Widow back kinda hints to the stones not allowing somethings to be done on the snaps), but it is a good way around if it is. Hell, if it is, you could, in theory, even snap and include a healing of the damage the snap did on you on the things that snap causes. THAT would be a complete cheat of the infinity system.
@@seph159 Yeah, Groot would basically have unlimited snaps just using that little trick XD. The only catch is that each still would be hella painful (but hey, for all the power the stones have and still being able to completely recover, that seems a pretty good deal to me).
Didn't Iron Man say the gauntlet is putting out enough energy to "light up" a continent not "power"? I thought he meant literally turn a continent's surface to ash
Since it's basically a fusion reactor using plasma and it's not a real thing no way of telling though I'd think the palladium poisoning is probably more important to him lol
@@hordegaming4771 But he already dealt with the poisoning by using an entirely new element to fuel the fusion, which only raises more question on what kind of radiation it produces.
12:00 They say that Tony didn’t flinch like thanos and hulk while wielding the stones because he *DID INDEED* have a protective layer of Stark Tech absorbing most of the radiation in his suit.
Hey Kyle, a little thing I thought about the gamma ray burst of the snap. Sure, such a burst would radiation poison Tony Stark to Kingdom Come, but with a 54 Billion Joule burst of electromagnetic waves, and assuming a head-to-snap distance of 30cm, the energy density of the extending ball of radiation would be 61 Billion Joules / m² at that distance. If we model the exposed surface of the head as a 10cm-radius circle, and the head as a 10cm-radius sphere, that means taking 1,9 Billion joules of energy _in the face_ , and even assuming the radiation goes past the head and is only 1% absorbed, that's still a whopping _4,6 Million joules_ of energy *per cubic centimeter of head* . I believe that's enough to conclude that, post-snap, Tony Stark's head is now vapor.
Exactly! Gen damage and organ failure are only symptions of mid level radiation poisoning. Extrem levels of radiation poisoning either cook or vaporize you long before any of the other symptions can get you.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isnt the energy of the gauntlet also traveling through the person and thus damaging organ, killing cells and nerves and the like? They all seem to be in pain just wearing it (unless you have a body that can handle it)
If enough radiation is absoluted it is transferred as heat (similar to light heating a piece of metal) due to resistance. There was so much gammar radiation it burnt Tony Stark's body.
@Big Za I'm curious why you say his entire nervous system would be destroyed. I can imagine some nerve damage especially on and around the hand and arm were the stones were. Even people suffering from the blue flash still had intact nervous systems.
first thing to use stones would be to create body for yourself that can handle it,then just punch Thanos into meat patty.I mean it can erase half a universe so that should be an easy stuff.
Not really. The nano gauntlet hurts no matter how strong you are, but the infinity gauntlet was made of uru so it took up all the power. You can even compare because thanos even looks hurt while wearing the nano gauntlet
yeaaaaaah when iron man says the snap could "light up a continent", he didn't literally mean give the continent electricity. he meant lighting it up as in destroying it.
considering that thanos crushed a moon with it (and brought the remains down onto iron man and the others) even without the full set of stones, i'd say that it would be a low estimate in any case.
I'd say the infinity gauntlet directs the radiation in to the snapper only, on the grounds that they alone will pay the price. As it rewrites physics, it can easily decide where the gamma radiation etc goes.
Did he just say he should snap as slow as possible but that increases time and hence increases the gama radiation which is exactly what we don't want ...........
The faster the snap the more radiation you get in a single burst. If that level of radiation is going to be the same, lengthening it lowers the amount given off. Theoretically by making it take long enough you can lower the radiation levels into an acceptable range...but that would be like making that finger snap last longer than an hour or more easily.
I just realized how much more powerful Thanos is than normal people. He was exposed to the same amount of radiation as Tony and, compared to Tony's reaction, it barely affected Thanos.
@@miinfluencer1373 As if a callback to that Avengers 1 scene is the only reason for this to exist or the only reason the scene is liked by so many. Please.
There were three snaps made on earth in MCU, every single one releasing a tremendous amount of radiation, which will cause mutations. Huh, so they did plan out justification for X-Men in MCU eventually.
@@choochdrews but mutations dont come out of thin air, so that means a generation or two down the line we get the x men. But no one is going to wait 2 generations, maybe the the snap sent a bit of radiation through space and time, thats why tonys arm is uneasy throughout the mcu
All of these calculations focus on Gamma radiation specifically, from Professor Hulk's line, "it's mostly Gamma". Mostly. What about the other radiation wavelengths?
He said most of the radiation was x-ray and gamma, therefore Hulk took some damage from the x-rays but Hulk's gamma fueled healing factor is fast enough and efficient enough to heal hulk within a few minutes. I hope this answers your questions
Yeah, but they were also there for Thanos' power blast as it failed to stop Stormbreaker. Assume Stormbreaker was redirecting/splashing that energy to the sides.
@@Armoless for the resnap, yeah....but they talked it over and decided a little more damma gamma radiation would hurt hulk less ('sides, ragemonster without the rage hasn't been fighting so good). Thor couldn't do the Tony snap because he didn't have the right gear.
Also what you didn't mention about the instance when the screw driver slipped and the 2 halves of beryllium coming together, the scientist slapped one half of the core off the other with his bare hand . With in a few days his arm was so cooked that it had swelled 3time it's normal size and it split open and was constantly draining fluid .
You said people should be hundreds of meters away from the snap in order to be safe, right? 'Cause all the Avengers were there during the battle at a much shorter distance, and nothing happened to them. I choose to believe that Tony (as well as Thanos and Hulk before) used the Space Stone to redirect all that radiation towards himself, keeping his companions safe. Enough people had died already. EDIT: Or better yet, use the SS to give the electrons back to their atoms, nullifying any fallout that may have resulted from the explosion.
That would work out because there's no reason the space stone would be necessary physically dust people. That's a good reason for needing the space stone to complete the gauntlet to begin with
No matter where that dose of radiation is directed it'd cause damage to complex life over a huge distance, even if it was travelling via Tony, gamma isn't that strongly absorbed by human, even the Iron man suit wouldn't be that good at it.
@@Luke36987 No you could use the soul stone for that because it was never specified if there's a limit to its range so theoretically it could seek out all souls in the universe
How much radiation would Thor have gotten when he opened the Iris of the sun (super nova, white dwarf?) when forging his battle axe? EDIT - I know he made a video about this. What I was referring to was Kyle's comment about this being the most radiation anyone has every received... sorry for the confusing
With this explanation wouldn’t Thor be the best person to do the snap since he was unaffected in the Infinity War snap while being literally inches away from the gauntlet? 🤔
Thor is immune to all gamma radiation, so yes he would have been the best to use it physically, but he had too many mental demons and they worried he was going to screw up the "wish". They had to have someone cool headed to do it while also being resistant, which ironically was the Hulk in this instance.
Presumably the gauntlet narrows the consequences down to the wielder. There seems to be a lot of intelligence involved with it. Otherwise, for example, you could sacrifice a pot-plant you really loved to get the spirit stone, for example. In the comics, they were created by some of the major powers of the cosmos, like Death and Eternity, who presumably oversee its use. The MCU is less clear, but from what we see with the Red Skull, there does seem some sort of intelligence involved.
Hey Kyle, First off, obligatory statement of Love the show! I've been watching a long time & this is the first time I've caught it at a time when I think you might actually read the comment, so thank you & keep up the phenomenal work! Now that's said, here's a possible reason why the people around the gauntlet aren't effected by the snap: Basically, when it occurs, all the "energy" from each stone focuses their "power" inward to a central location, which would be the center of the wearer's hand. This would be why the gauntlet would be needed in the first place, as it not only houses the stones, but also acts as a shield for the outside world with all of the crazy amounts of radiation the snap would generate. The only person effected by the snap would be the wearer of the gauntlet, as all the "powers" converge into the universe altering force "event". Just an idea. Hope you like it. Keep being awesome! ^_^
Hey, love your videos. One thing though, you mentioned that everyone was unshielded when Banner snapped everyone back. Well, it could be theoretically possible that the Gamma radiation from the gauntlet is recaptured and refocused into the stones before it could travel any meaningful length beyond that of a human body. The Time, Space, or Reality stones could facilitate this effect.
@@SpaceStrike How was I unclear? Kyle said that when Banner used the Infinity Stones to bring the people that Thanos dusted back the other Avengers, who were within a very close range as well as being unshielded from radiation, would have been killed by the massive spike in Gamma ray radiation released during the snap. All that I theorized was that the gauntlet/stones capture and absorb or dissipate the radiation before it travels farther (Farther being the operative word) than the wielder. That's how people can be within an arms reach of the one using the stone's but only the user takes the damage. Not once did I mean to insinuate that Tony could have survived his fateful snap.
@@nymbattheeternal1279 I’m sorry the way you worded it made me think that. You have a point but also it could be that the radiation goes straight into the user
Few things. Because the gauntlet performed appreciable work on Thanos' army (dustification) we can conclude that some of the energy didn't go straight into Gamma rays. We can also assume that some of the energy went into other wavelengths of light (however according to prof. hulk a majority of the energy comes off as Gamma Rays). So let's assume that only 51% of the energy of a snap is emitted as gamma rays. Another huge point is that the snap only affected Thanos' army, not half of all life in the universe. Let's assume worst case scenario with the original snap used the full output of the gauntlet... and because frankly it's hard to get a number for "Half of all life in the universe" let's just put the number at 5 Trillion life forms (In IW someone says "Killing Trillions") and assume that they, on average, require perhaps 10% of the amount of energy to dustify an average soldier in that final battle (soldiers being bigger and stronger than most life forms and this also includes beings like leviathans, those giant Chitauri and Thanos himself. Also, (because we don't have enough ridiculous assumptions) let's say that Thanos' army in the final battle consists of 10,000 soldiers (This may be a bit off but frankly, given the numbers here, it hardly matters) Now time for math. The original Snap used 54*10^9 J to wipe out 5*10^12 life forms. releasing 1,000,000 Sieverts of radiation. This has an astonishing efficiency of 92.5 Joules per thousand life forms, To put that in perspective 1 Joule is the amount of energy required to accelerate a 1 kg mass at 1 m/s^2 (~ 0.1 g) through a distance of 1 m. So to turn 1,000 life forms to dust, it took just slightly more energy than it takes to keep a relatively low power (1 Watt) LED on for a minute and a half. This also means that each life form dusted takes 0.0108 J, this is a minute amount of energy. Tony's snap, in this case, uses: Total Energy = (energy per victim) * (num soldier) * (the 10X multiplier because soldiers are harder to kill) Total Energy = 0.0108 * 10,000 * 10 Total Energy = 1080 J Unfortunately, we aren't done because I assumed that a snap would actually emit only 51% of its energy as Gamma rays as opposed to the full 100% This means that the energy required to actually kill an average life form is actually at most ~0.0054j Ok, so in the original calculation, with 1,000,000 Sieverts of Gamma radiation emitted, we end up with: Total Radiation = (Original Radiation) * (The fraction of energy released as Gamma Radiation) * ((Tony's Snap energy)/(Original Snap energy)) Total Radiation = 1,000,000 * 0.51 * (1080/54*10^9) Total Radiation = 0.0102 Sieverts Or roughly 10.2 millisieverts (note, I'm assuming that the radiation that's given off scales directly and linearly with the amount of energy used) Really only enough to slightly increase Tony's risk of cancer. Even if I'm wrong in this by two orders of magnitude (entirely possible), Tony still shouldn't have died so quickly. Because he did, however, we can assume that the statement of "as much energy as a continent" is incorrect and this makes sense as the only way to properly measure the amount of energy given off is to have accurate measurement tools next to Thanos when he made the original snap.... which they didn't. So what does this all mean? Everyone in Wakanda that didn't get dusted dies of cancer due to the insane radiation emitted when Thanos did the original snap. It also means I've spent way too much over analysing this... :D
That was pretty amazing actually. If you were able to come up with that analysis on your own, it is safe to say Marvel (or at least the producers of End Game) did not spend enough time on this to put an accurate energy analogy in Mark Ruffalo's script, lol. Also according to your calculations, Hulk DEFINITELY shouldn't have had his arm so badly damaged, even if your calculations were WAY underestimating. Your calculations also make me think, the power of all the combined infinity stones is pretty underwhelming, actually... oh well. Either that or life is way too easy to extinguish! XD
@@rubegoldberger My headcanon is that the estimate that the hulk gave out isn't the max output of the infinity stones which should, in theory, be infinite. Instead, it's either the power output of a continent for a whole year. or it statically puts out that much power, however, that static output is mostly in forms that don't really interact with people (e.g. low energy radio waves, some visible light and a whole bunch of neutrinos) so it wouldn't really matter. Then when it gets used for an actual purpose the output skyrockets and because of the greater energies involved it gets converted to higher energy wavelengths like gamma rays.
You're making an assumption Kyle did too: that being able to power a continent means it releases that amount of energy as (mostly) gamma rays when you use the gauntlet. If that was the case, then it would be completely useless for anything but releasing gamma rays. "It could power a continent" only means that you *could* power a continent if you wanted to.
@@xdecatron2985 I think he means that when the gauntlet formed on Tony's hand, there were no obvious effects from wearing it until he snapped. Hulk's gauntlet caused him pain immediately, but Tony's did not. I think the explanation for that is that the suit was able to absorb the latent energy (remember when Thor hit him with his lightning and it simply charged the battery? This suit is significantly more advanced than that one) in a way that the gauntlet alone was not.
@@DiMono Also, just because he did not show any pain does not mean he wasn't in great pain... At that moment he was focused on snapping away Thanos in the middle of a war, he probably had lots of adrenline pumping through him and was able to ignore the pain from touching the stones.
@@peteh4355 Except it wasn't just visible pain, you could see visually the effect the glove was having on him. IIRC Hulk's entire arm was visually affected by it, all the way up to his neck. That's not a pain you shrug off.
@GravityZero You must remember how much Hulk was screaming in pain when he was trying to snap everyone back to reality. But Ironman struggled comparatively less. Do you think it was his suit that protected him? Coz if this much radiation is given out, then all the Avengers in and around that area are definitely prone to the same radiation. PS I'd love to chat about this with someone like you. All my friends are just watching the movie for fun. I really wish there was someone with whom I could talk to about these details like the snap or Time travel
To be fair the Hulk brought back half the universe with his snap, Tony only snapped thanos Army out of Existence. Different Feats with diffrent results.
@@jonklaus1466 It's not about what you do with it. The moment you put on the infinity gauntlet, may it be thanos or hulk, they scream in pain. In IW, when thanos got all the stones, he too was screaming. And hulk started screaming the moment he put on the gauntlet. He could barely snap. But when tony got all the stones, he was able to bear them quite well.
But Tony's Snap wasn't like Thanos or Hulks snap, because it was only concerning the Army of Thanos. So there would be less radiation, since there is less Power needed to dust an Army, than half the universe.
The radiation output would be the same: its not the mafnitude of what yoy made happen, it is simply the stones making it hapen that releases the radiation.
@@Grayson.P I'm not sure about that. We see thanos using all six stones against Thor simply projecting energy, and it does nothing to his arm, only as he snaps does he get injured by the gauntlet. That would lead me to believe it's also dependent on the magnitude...
I think it's a fair assumption because thanos was in a much worse state after using the stones to destroy them then to kill half the universe, meaning he got hurt more when he did something "harder" which may explain how tony just started dying and didn't got instantly fried.
"The entire time I knew him, he only ever had one goal: To wipe out half the universe. If he gets all the Infinity Stones... he can do it with the clap of his hands. Just like that." 👏 ...... "You should... you should have gone for the head..." 👏 ..... "I... am... Iron Man..." 👏
This was really interesting and cool! I was reluctant to watch this because Iron Man's sacrifice really got to me, but I was very pleasantly surprised. Thanks!!
Right title, wrong song. Tony is a classic rock guy. Radioactive by the 80's "supergroup", The Firm, featuring Thor's favorite axeman, Jimmy Page, and fronted by Paul Rodgers. (Sorry, Steve, the pronunciation is the same, but it's spelled differently.)
if we would apply science properly, everyone on that battlefield would have died form the snap also everyone close to thanos in infinity war in wakanda would have died. xD
But more importantly what such a tiny amount of energy does to the whole Universe? This much energy will not even be a dent for only the Earth-Moon system.
@@aniksamiurrahman6365 This is more waste heat than total energy. In fact, the Gauntlet is probably one of the most efficient machines ever. Even a 0.01% of waste energy would have flash-vaporised at least the entire system, given the energies involved.
Hey Kyle love the show hope this comment makes it to the aftershow. What if all the radiation is going into the person holding the gauntlet and not into the world. Could that explain the glowing we see on the person's skin right before the snap happens
Hi Kyle, love the show. Does the amount of radiation that Tony Stark is exposed to also cause the physical damage we see in the film? We see Thanos, the Hulk, and Tony Stark suffer from large, burn-like wounds after they snap the gauntlet. Is this simply caused by the heat of the gauntlet going critical? Or are their wounds also due to the shear amount of radiation?
Radiation exposure does cause thermal-like burns ala Hulk and Thanos but iirc they can take a while to appear, far longer than is available between Tony's snap and death in the film at least
Ryan Dolfuss I feel like it would be the heat. We can visibly see that the gauntlet melts or at the very least is partially destroyed. Also, most reactions give off heat. It would make sense that whatever reaction that produced the radiation also gave off a crap ton of heat, which is something we can then see because of the state of the gauntlet after the snap. So yeah, I think the wounds are burns from the excessive heat given off from the snap.
I think so. In school our Physics teacher told us there's a specific amount of Radiation that would cause a human to die instantly and desintegrate (theoretically). I can't remember the number but I guess Tony had more than that. I doubt the specific injuries he suffered are not really accurate because it was never tested
I think the gauntlet in addition to channeling the power safely, also directs the energy released into the wielder to prevent the radiation from killing those around it.
I'd interpreted the damage of the gauntlet to mostly come from putting it on, not from the snap. Tony had probably signed his death warrant the moment he attached the stones to the glove he wore.
Nah, Thanos says in the movie that destroying the stones nearly killed him, not from putting it on. Hulk wasn't really worthy of holding all the stones which is why it damaged him, Tony on the other hand has all the traits to put on a gauntlet, which is why Thanos respected him in Infinity War.
@@jamaaldagreatest2748 Nothing has previously established a need for _worthiness_ when welding the stones. We saw a need for fortitude when wielding the power stone in GotG, and we saw a need for sacrifice in attaining the soul stone, but never anything to suggest a test of character. Thanos struggled to use the stones to destroy the stones because it was nearly beyond their ability. In most Marvel Comics interactions, the stones are incapable of affecting themselves.
@@OriginalPiMan Fortitude, is a great example aka Tony. He's tried sacrificing himself on multiple occasions, hence the soul stone. The mind stone requires a smart mind in the comics and again, Tony. The time and reality stones are kinda in the air but eh, plus Tony envisioned a reality in which they lose after the first Avengers which is why he made Ultron so I guess that counts. In the comics though it's been shown that while they can be used by people, being able to use the stones to their fullest potential requires the aptitude in all of those categories which is why Thanos is better at using them than some other characters thatve tried. Using the stones to their fullest potential is also being able to destroy them, which is something I don't think someone like the Hulk could've done which is why a much weaker Tony Stark was able to snap his fingers way easier than the Hulk was .
Jamaal dagreatest lmao Adam warlock confronted thanos abt it and he himself thinks he’s not worthy of wielding it but he did it anyways so I don’t think it’s related
As usual interesting and neato stuff. Also I totes love the music you got playing all the time in the episodes, so any chance that it's something I can get a hold of?
I kind of took the "could light up a continent" line as meaning something along the lines of destroying the continent or causing it to burn. Which would take even more energy than just powering it.
No. He meant slowly. The amount of radiation given off in a single snap is the same regardless of if the snap takes 0.1s or a whole day. Increasing the time reduced your exposure. 1,000,000j of radiation over 0.1s is more dangerous that 1,000,000j of radiation over a day, or a week, or a year.
@@jk844100 He didn't mean to say slowly as he says before that the less time you are exposed the better. Your point might make some sence but in this situation he never spoke about doing a snap slowly would average out the radiation over time. Plus in the film, how is he going to do a snap that takes a year/month/day to do? Either way its just a fun thought experiment anyways so as long as you liked the video that all good.
hey with regard to Tony Stark shielding himself from the snap wouldn't he need a layer of protection from within the gauntlet as well? So not just a shield that goes around the gauntlet but maybe like an extra inner glove lined with super dense lead or something like that that can prevent the gamma radiation from also going into his hand. Love your show by the way Your the best TH-camr in my opinion
Not necessarily. Having your arm radiated is not all that bad. There are no vital organs inside. Ionic radiation is causing degeneration of the cells due to damaging their DNA. His arm would have to be amputated before the decaying process would poison his body. Similar to Frostbite. As long as none of the vital organs would be radiated Tony will live. There is a possibility that this amount of gamma radiation would knock out some neutrons out of atoms of Tony's hand and make them unstable (radioactive), but amputating hand quickly, before his vital organs would absorb any of the radioactive elements, should solve that problem. I think the biggest problem is somewhere else. If the shielding on top his gauntlet worked perfectly there is a problem of the shape. The shielding would need to have an opening through which Tony puts his arm in. Just like any gove has one. So the radiation would go straight through this opening (along the forearm). If Tony would keep his hand as far as possible like Kyle is suggesting, radiation shooting out of the opening could hit his vital organs. The best solution for Tony would be to lay down on the back on the ground, put his elbow to the ground and bend it probably around 45 degrees. That way the radiation would go straight to the ground and not hit any of Tony's or somebody else's vital organs. And All this is assuming that this amount of energy wouldn't instantly vaporize Tony.
Vibranium is the strongest material known to MCU earth science... Doesn't mean it's the hardest material in the universe. Corvus Glaives weapon was able to penetrate Visions Vibranium body like a hot knife through butter.
Problem is, the gauntlet doesn't seem to give off that radiation in the way you describe (expanding outward in a sphere from the gauntelt), it seems to just put it straight into the person wearing the thing... Tony, Rhodey, Cap, Thor, Rocket, Hawkeye, and Ant-man were standing around Bruce when he did the first snap, and all of them were perfectly fine, if it worked how you describe here everyone in that room would have died.
This brings up the question: How come this didn’t happen as extremely to thanos and those around him when he snapped? As you said in your could you snap in an infinity gauntlet, the gauntlet would most likely be made of Uru, or some alloy containing it. Given that Thanos is a smart guy, albeit a heartless one, he would have predicted that the snap would give off this much energy. He could have thought that since Uru absorbs magic (or just highly advanced technology, like the infinity stones) or possible “magical” energy in the form of radiation, that could shield him from most of it. But what happens to Thor? He was standing right next to the gauntlet during the snap. Well, the gauntlet and thanos‘s hand were in between him and the stones. What about the people behind thanos? Well, the Uru was in direct contact with all of the stones, and that could have redirected all of the energy into the gauntlet. It appears to have mostly melted at the end of A: IW. That could be a result of absorbing all of the energy from the snap itself. But, in doing so, a lot of that energy went right through the gauntlet and into thanos‘s hand. If he were to snap again, to say, destroy the stones, the Uru of the gauntlet would have little effect in blocking the energy, resulting in the scarring and disfigurement in the beginning of Endgame.
Wouldn't work. If that theory were workable then Tony would be alive, and Banner wouldn't have had to take the arm burn. Basically all the Iron Man armor from IM3 onward can be operated WITHOUT Tony actually being in it. The glove he builds is obviously tech like his suit. Thus he could have had everyone evacuate THEN seal the room, connect with the neural link and snap the glove remotely. The Stones almost surely require a direct physical connection to the user in order to work. If it worked at a distance you'd run into the potential that the Stones might be able to read what EVERYBODY was wishing for at the time, and that would get messy in a hurry.
Tony Stark uses his Thrusters and weapons using his mind through a device in his helmet so Tony Stark could shoot his Gauntlet far into space and use his Iron Man helmet to snap when it's at a safe distance.
Here is the problem with that, a sentient being needs to be directly interfacing with the stones in order for them to function. IE, if you aren't touching them, you aren't able to activate them. This is actually shown repeatedly in the MCU. Ronan had to first touch the power stone to connect to it, and then could attach it to his weapon to give himself a buffer to allow him to use it, but if the stone is removed from his immediate touch...remember that he lost the power the second the stone was removed from anything touching him...the gem turned off. Same when the manage to get the gauntlet from Thanos, you see the gems visibly darken...they have become innert as no sentient being is interacting with them.
Yup, probably everybody within 10 miles at utter minimum would have gotten a lethal dose. Its what 100,000x the 100% lethal dose for humans? Inverse squares or not, everybody there save Hulk would be fucked.
I think the force of gauntlet internally tears apart the wear (probably at cellular level) this is why Tony is dead. Tony is an already dead man walking when he put the stones into his gauntlet model.
@@deeeenisttv I mean those levels of radiation would kill many people if it spread, so I don't think so. Otherwise the other Avengers would be in trouble
Hello, love the show and congrats for 1M ! Just a question, if Iron Man shield the gauntlet to protect himself from the radiation, wouldn't it prevent the snap from working ?
if you're thinking a container will stop the effects of the stones, which i think you are, just remember the snap isn't required to be outside (hulk did it indoors) and the effects are universal, so even a little box will not stop it. or a big box (like the room hulk was in for his snap which is avengers HQ so i'm guessing that has shielding to). i had the same thought but then i questioned the size of the shield/container. the point of the shield being mentioned was to see if tony could survive. your concern should be lifted now
yes but no, could've renew but him and Chris got tired of doing basically only MCU movies, you gotta remember Robert has been in a S**t load of the 22 films released, either fully or down to a cameo.
@@NelsonBlvd bullshit! he could make other movies at the same time. only that he and his businessmen wanted more and more money and was already becoming unbearable for the producers.
@@renatoigmed You got a time stone lying around? MCU films are practically back to back and have their actors filming for months to years flying to sets all across the world. The man had no time to film anything else. Not to mention he's 54 years old, you expect him to play a lead action hero for another 11 years? You think he would have enough energy after filming giant MCU blockbusters? Give RDJ a break, he's only human. He gave us 11 years of his career and life, let him go.
So what about the other heroes in the area? Did they get a lethal dose or did Tony ensure that with his snap that everyone was protected too, assuming he knew about the radiation thing?
He could have used space stone to distance a part of his hand covered by the glove like Dr Strange portal and snap. Remember the scene where Dr Stange took Wongs Book
I dont think it would have worked. It looks like all the stones have to be pooled in concert to pull off a snap, likely no multitasking option there. So if he had a space door opened, and tried to snap, bye bye hand.
@@Gnidel Pretty sure he knew. He's a genius scientist and he even created the second gauntlet and knew the effects of the stones. Strange said that to Tony because of course you will be hesitant when told "you have to die so we win" and things would work out differently (they would lose). From the look on Tony's face before snapping I believe he finally realized what was truly important and what kind of man he wanted to be. Also, remember the scene with his father: Howard Stark said he didn't want his kid to be like him, because he could never put the good of the people above his selfish needs. You can see this has an impact on Tony and it's also part of what makes him sacrifice for the good of the universe.
probably can't, since to do snap it connect directly with your conciousness to grant the wish of the snap... and the gauntlet would not activated, just like the gauntlet that always dormant when it not equipped, even Hawkeye can carry it...
Why not simply use the reality stone to change his body material to the same used in infinity gauntlet/stormbreaker, absorbing the radiation, and then snapped, so he wouldn't get hurt, and then turned himself human again. I know why! Because RDJ can't be bothered to do any more movies. Simple as that.
@@evilparadigm And what case you'll make for Chris Evans? He wants to go back to playing in cheap romantic comedies? It's not like RDJ's been going through changes like Christian Bale, maybe he has a past, but I don't think it affects him that much to just give up on the role that in a way gave him a second start. And I am ungrateful and sad, because I loved him, and now he's gone.
@Spacenibba Nibby Exactly, the nano gauntlet they made was just to redirect the gems energy(and desperation), the UHHHrU gauntlet was made in order to use the gems separately(and cruelty), Thanos knew how to use them, Tony didnt
Hey Kyle, could you look into the defeat of Kars from Jojo's Bizarre adventure? If his armor would allow him to survive on lava, if a volcano could propel him into the atmosphere and if the debris could have sent him into space. Also, he had access to the abilities of all lifeforms on earth, maybe see if there was something he could have done to avoid drifting into space forever, aside from what we saw him do. Yes this is a jojo reference.
No need for an episode. In space you wouldn't instantly freeze and be unable to move even if you were human. Even tho space is cold, it's really difficult for heat to escape from your body when there's no medium to transfer to, like air or water. That means the only way for you to cool down in space is through radiations. It would take quite a long while to completely freeze like that. You would die of suffocation waaaay before then. Also, if Kars really wanted to survive, he could chop off a couple of limbs and throw them in the opposite direction with as much strength as possible. That would stop your momentum and you would be able to throw yourself back at Earth.
Would Thor have gotten lots of radiation too? In the first movie he was right next to Thanos so the radiation should’ve done the same thing to Thor to what happened to Tony?
It's not as falliable as the end of Ghostbusters where a deviation in thought would screw you. And everyone who did snap were either people who thought they had a noble crusade or heroes with no other option than to get it right the first time. And even if they weren't I still doubt that would happen.

Im not sure really what a cells bursting point is but wouldn't the snap pretty much explode the cells in his hand cuz it reminds me of a lightsaber
Was gonna say Thor got exposed to that shit in infinity war, but he also survived a star for several minutes so....
@GravityZero The snap. Or, the dying star when he made the Stormbreaker.
The actual infinity gaunlet proved to be a fairly good sheild against this stuff, so they'll be fine
Not just any star, but a dying neutron star. It’s power ratio is between a supernova (outward energy) & a black hole (inward energy), & if one of them “aimed” its energy at the earth even from millions of light years away, our entire planet would be crisped.

Krampus Klaws well, that was a super dope picture you painted for me . Thank you kindly !
My daughter and I were watching the Civil War movie again and during it she asked if the Shield Helicarrier was possible; "Dad, could something like that actually be made". I told her I did not know so she told me to "ask that cool science guy that looks like Thor, he knows everything" - well, I am asking (I lost the coin toss on who would do it).
While here, I have feel that I should thank you. Your shows have created a real interest in science with your fun and informative look into the MCU, and her grades in this class have increased remarkably since she became a fan.
Short answer: nope, not possible in that form factor. Propellers' blades would have to spin so fast to keep the whole thing in the air, they'd have to be built out of incredibly strong materials to withstand centrifugal forces. Ok, then they've got such superstrong materials and all in the MCU, but they're, again, fictional materials. In real life, we know none up to that kind of task, except possibly carbon nanofibers, if you can manage to create a bunch of them long enough to create the blades (as long as a whole blade). But then there'd be also troubles with the energy source capable of powering electric motors (?) powerful and yet compact enough to fit the blades. And even after all that, below each propeller you'd basically have a miles-high tornado, making it quite unpleasant for whoever happens to be below the flight path of the helicarrier. Or maybe the props would spin so fast (in the order of the kilometers per second, around the hubs) that air wouldn't even be able to move fast enough to fill the gap between one blade and the next. Also, it definitely wouldn't be very stealth, even if you made it invisible. ^^
edit: or maybe it'd be possible if you made the frame out of light materials filled mostly with hydrogen, like a blimp, but I guess that's not what the narrative suggests about how the helicarrier is supposed to be built.
The helicarrier is possible though expensive
Furrball McDuff It is possible, but it would be years or even decades before we could get all of the materials needed in order to build it. And it would also be expensive as hell. Think of it as the idea of humans going light speed. NASA is working on something like that as we speak, but the boosters would have to be miles wide and would have to carry billions if not trillions of pounds of fuel. And even then it would take about 2 years going in the same direction for the rocket to reach light speed. So it’s not that building the helicarrier is impossible. It would just take a long time

>4 snaps
> gamma radiation flying through the universe
>radiation causes mutations in Human DNA
Well
That’s one way to get the X-men into the MCU I guess
but then how would explain quick silver and Wanda in Age of Ultron as Super human before the snap. Cap didn't call them mutants he reffered to them along the lines up enhanced. It can work still but kinda odd.
My chin just dropped
Heiße Schokolade I’m convinced the reason they explained the snaps with gamma radiation for this reason
Because honestly the gauntlet radiating gamma rays in a universe where magic is a real thing makes absolutely no sense except as a set up for mutants.
In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if they rewrote that part specifically after Disney officially acquired fox
Dominick Thompson that was explained with purposeful genetic enhancement not born mutations.
Although I’m assuming that will be retconned since they can actually use the term mutant now
That and effectively it wouldn't be born mutations, since it would be because of the snap regardless. And Quicksilver and Wanda in age of Ultron is proof that this could work, since they were enhanced with the help of the mind stone. Don't forget that it's not just the gamma radiation as well; the stone were atomized during the 2nd snap, which could've already set the groundwork.
Also, this does have some precedence in the comics. When Scarlet Witch banished the Phoenix Force, it also lead to the revival of the mutant population.
How much radiation did Wolverine take in protecting the Japaneses soldier
he was about a mile from the Hypocenter, so about 350mSv
Short answer: a lot
long answer: i dont know
@@lordhubble4819 He got less radiation than Chernobyl evacuees.
do yall think Logan could of done the snap and survived? Maybe turn his healing factor into cancerous lol
@@J3point14 @John Holmes III "Cancerous" cells are mutated, and not natural his healing factor would in theory keep him in a state of being compleatly broken till the radiation source was moved away or gradually decayed. I think in cannon for wolverine he would survive it. Thats not to say he wouldn't turn to dust like half the rest of the universe.
So, I take it that, if Reed Richards streches and snaps the gauntlet from a couple meters away, he's kinda cheating the infinity system?
Yes and no. A few meters are not enough, unless he has some other protection, but may he stretch way more and he could survive the snap (in theory).
The catch is that such radiation would still wreck his arm and, since objects exposed to radiation kinda of get contaminated, liberating some radiation themselves for some time, the sensible decision would be to chop it off. It would be completely unusable anyways...
Too much for "cheating the infinity system", don't you think? XD
@@ultimatedragon4281 It is still a WAY better option over a full blown suicide. I'd lose a arm for that hands down, without thought.
@@zacharysouth8820 groot could have done it. streched out to safe distance with sombody at the ready to chop off his arm. it would then grow back
@@zacharysouth8820 Yeah, agreed. It is still a high price though. And you can only do it what? Two times? That is, unless you make your previously chopped arm regrow with your next snap. I don't know if it is allowed (the fact that Hulk failed to snap Black Widow back kinda hints to the stones not allowing somethings to be done on the snaps), but it is a good way around if it is. Hell, if it is, you could, in theory, even snap and include a healing of the damage the snap did on you on the things that snap causes. THAT would be a complete cheat of the infinity system.
@@seph159 Yeah, Groot would basically have unlimited snaps just using that little trick XD.

The flinch put more distance I suppose
He didn't flinch because the director wanted you to believe he was alright just to make his death all the more powerful.
I prefer to think that it's because he knew he was going to die either way and accepted it.
Hey Kyle, a little thing I thought about the gamma ray burst of the snap. Sure, such a burst would radiation poison Tony Stark to Kingdom Come, but with a 54 Billion Joule burst of electromagnetic waves, and assuming a head-to-snap distance of 30cm, the energy density of the extending ball of radiation would be 61 Billion Joules / m² at that distance.
If we model the exposed surface of the head as a 10cm-radius circle, and the head as a 10cm-radius sphere, that means taking 1,9 Billion joules of energy _in the face_ , and even assuming the radiation goes past the head and is only 1% absorbed, that's still a whopping _4,6 Million joules_ of energy *per cubic centimeter of head* . I believe that's enough to conclude that, post-snap, Tony Stark's head is now vapor.
Spacetauren Footnoted bro! 👊
Exactly! Gen damage and organ failure are only symptions of mid level radiation poisoning. Extrem levels of radiation poisoning either cook or vaporize you long before any of the other symptions can get you.

Hey. I hate you.
No, I don't, but that hit me in the feels. A critical hit. Perhaps even... A supercritical hit.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isnt the energy of the gauntlet also traveling through the person and thus damaging organ, killing cells and nerves and the like? They all seem to be in pain just wearing it (unless you have a body that can handle it)
If enough radiation is absoluted it is transferred as heat (similar to light heating a piece of metal) due to resistance. There was so much gammar radiation it burnt Tony Stark's body.
@Big Za I'm curious why you say his entire nervous system would be destroyed. I can imagine some nerve damage especially on and around the hand and arm were the stones were. Even people suffering from the blue flash still had intact nervous systems.
first thing to use stones would be to create body for yourself that can handle it,then just punch Thanos into meat patty.I mean it can erase half a universe so that should be an easy stuff.
Not really. The nano gauntlet hurts no matter how strong you are, but the infinity gauntlet was made of uru so it took up all the power. You can even compare because thanos even looks hurt while wearing the nano gauntlet

he meant lighting it up as in destroying it.
Even though it could light up the universe. Not just a continent 😂
considering that thanos crushed a moon with it (and brought the remains down onto iron man and the others) even without the full set of stones, i'd say that it would be a low estimate in any case.
Thats even worse
V-Rex maybe 🤷🏻♂️
It probably could do both lol
I'd say the infinity gauntlet directs the radiation in to the snapper only, on the grounds that they alone will pay the price.
As it rewrites physics, it can easily decide where the gamma radiation etc goes.
I think that it directs the radiation into your objective aswell
You know, to archive his purpose
So if you survive you basically live with cancer.
Robot Rabbit
Probably just a few days or maybe a couple of hours
I mean, that would be a very op cancer
Good scenario
The gauntlet isn't sentient, and Tony, nor the Hulk used the Infinity Gauntlet.
Did he just say he should snap as slow as possible but that increases time and hence increases the gama radiation which is exactly what we don't want ...........
The faster the snap the more radiation you get in a single burst. If that level of radiation is going to be the same, lengthening it lowers the amount given off. Theoretically by making it take long enough you can lower the radiation levels into an acceptable range...but that would be like making that finger snap last longer than an hour or more easily.

Irrelevant. 50% of those numbers would produce the same effect.
Jeremy Higgins Impossible to know. We don’t know if it’s radiowaves or visible light.

@@Armoless for the resnap, yeah....but they talked it over and decided a little more damma gamma radiation would hurt hulk less ('sides, ragemonster without the rage hasn't been fighting so good). Thor couldn't do the Tony snap because he didn't have the right gear.
Also what you didn't mention about the instance when the screw driver slipped and the 2 halves of beryllium coming together, the scientist slapped one half of the core off the other with his bare hand . With in a few days his arm was so cooked that it had swelled 3time it's normal size and it split open and was constantly draining fluid .
You said people should be hundreds of meters away from the snap in order to be safe, right? 'Cause all the Avengers were there during the battle at a much shorter distance, and nothing happened to them. I choose to believe that Tony (as well as Thanos and Hulk before) used the Space Stone to redirect all that radiation towards himself, keeping his companions safe. Enough people had died already.
EDIT: Or better yet, use the SS to give the electrons back to their atoms, nullifying any fallout that may have resulted from the explosion.
That would work out because there's no reason the space stone would be necessary physically dust people. That's a good reason for needing the space stone to complete the gauntlet to begin with
No matter where that dose of radiation is directed it'd cause damage to complex life over a huge distance, even if it was travelling via Tony, gamma isn't that strongly absorbed by human, even the Iron man suit wouldn't be that good at it.
Bacelmir you need the space stone to dust people far away, in different galaxies. Otherwise you could only dust people in your vicinity
Even better!
@@Luke36987 No you could use the soul stone for that because it was never specified if there's a limit to its range so theoretically it could seek out all souls in the universe
Since Tony isn't the only one affected by the radiation, we can assume almost everyone there is getting it.
Truly an endgame.

@@HAZZATHEBEAST I looked up all of his _Infinity War_ videos after watching the movie a week and a half ago. Otherwise I'd never remember it.
Kale,”give me the equation”

Point Break.
With this explanation wouldn’t Thor be the best person to do the snap since he was unaffected in the Infinity War snap while being literally inches away from the gauntlet? 🤔
His mind was consumed with too much to be trusted with it.
Not to mention he earlier exposed himself to the concentrated radiation of a dead star.
And he endured being blasted by the full force of a star, so Thor would shrug that off like a night of light drinking.
Thor is immune to all gamma radiation, so yes he would have been the best to use it physically, but he had too many mental demons and they worried he was going to screw up the "wish". They had to have someone cool headed to do it while also being resistant, which ironically was the Hulk in this instance.
Wouldn't Tony's end snap also irradiate everyone within a mile?
Presumably the gauntlet narrows the consequences down to the wielder. There seems to be a lot of intelligence involved with it.
Otherwise, for example, you could sacrifice a pot-plant you really loved to get the spirit stone, for example.
In the comics, they were created by some of the major powers of the cosmos, like Death and Eternity, who presumably oversee its use.
The MCU is less clear, but from what we see with the Red Skull, there does seem some sort of intelligence involved.
Yes
@@BrettCaton Ok, that explanation is hilarious...
Hey Kyle,
First off, obligatory statement of Love the show! I've been watching a long time & this is the first time I've caught it at a time when I think you might actually read the comment, so thank you & keep up the phenomenal work!
Now that's said, here's a possible reason why the people around the gauntlet aren't effected by the snap: Basically, when it occurs, all the "energy" from each stone focuses their "power" inward to a central location, which would be the center of the wearer's hand. This would be why the gauntlet would be needed in the first place, as it not only houses the stones, but also acts as a shield for the outside world with all of the crazy amounts of radiation the snap would generate. The only person effected by the snap would be the wearer of the gauntlet, as all the "powers" converge into the universe altering force "event".
Just an idea. Hope you like it. Keep being awesome! ^_^
Hey, love your videos. One thing though, you mentioned that everyone was unshielded when Banner snapped everyone back. Well, it could be theoretically possible that the Gamma radiation from the gauntlet is recaptured and refocused into the stones before it could travel any meaningful length beyond that of a human body. The Time, Space, or Reality stones could facilitate this effect.
First make sense and second tony couldn’t survive
@@SpaceStrike How was I unclear?
Kyle said that when Banner used the Infinity Stones to bring the people that Thanos dusted back the other Avengers, who were within a very close range as well as being unshielded from radiation, would have been killed by the massive spike in Gamma ray radiation released during the snap.
All that I theorized was that the gauntlet/stones capture and absorb or dissipate the radiation before it travels farther (Farther being the operative word) than the wielder. That's how people can be within an arms reach of the one using the stone's but only the user takes the damage.
Not once did I mean to insinuate that Tony could have survived his fateful snap.
@@nymbattheeternal1279 I’m sorry the way you worded it made me think that. You have a point but also it could be that the radiation goes straight into the user
@@SpaceStrike I'll grant that, although radiation is usually omnidirectional.

@random stair Approx. 190 dovah-cibels.
Tony Stark is a smart man. It's theoretically possible his iron man suit gives him a resistance to the radiation.... It just wasn't enough to save him

No. Not enough indeed.

Theoretically he could have built his suit to withstand it, but he didn't have a helmet anyways
@@pauldeshield that still wouldnt do anything
@@davidb8523 yeah I know. 😅
Few things.
Because the gauntlet performed appreciable work on Thanos' army (dustification) we can conclude that some of the energy didn't go straight into Gamma rays.
We can also assume that some of the energy went into other wavelengths of light (however according to prof. hulk a majority of the energy comes off as Gamma Rays).
So let's assume that only 51% of the energy of a snap is emitted as gamma rays.
Another huge point is that the snap only affected Thanos' army, not half of all life in the universe. Let's assume worst case scenario with the original snap used the full output of the gauntlet... and because frankly it's hard to get a number for "Half of all life in the universe" let's just put the number at 5 Trillion life forms (In IW someone says "Killing Trillions") and assume that they, on average, require perhaps 10% of the amount of energy to dustify an average soldier in that final battle (soldiers being bigger and stronger than most life forms and this also includes beings like leviathans, those giant Chitauri and Thanos himself. Also, (because we don't have enough ridiculous assumptions) let's say that Thanos' army in the final battle consists of 10,000 soldiers (This may be a bit off but frankly, given the numbers here, it hardly matters)
Now time for math.
The original Snap used 54*10^9 J to wipe out 5*10^12 life forms. releasing 1,000,000 Sieverts of radiation.
This has an astonishing efficiency of 92.5 Joules per thousand life forms, To put that in perspective 1 Joule is the amount of energy required to accelerate a 1 kg mass at 1 m/s^2 (~ 0.1 g) through a distance of 1 m. So to turn 1,000 life forms to dust, it took just slightly more energy than it takes to keep a relatively low power (1 Watt) LED on for a minute and a half. This also means that each life form dusted takes 0.0108 J, this is a minute amount of energy.
Tony's snap, in this case, uses:
Total Energy = (energy per victim) * (num soldier) * (the 10X multiplier because soldiers are harder to kill)
Total Energy = 0.0108 * 10,000 * 10
Total Energy = 1080 J
Unfortunately, we aren't done because I assumed that a snap would actually emit only 51% of its energy as Gamma rays as opposed to the full 100% This means that the energy required to actually kill an average life form is actually at most ~0.0054j
Ok, so in the original calculation, with 1,000,000 Sieverts of Gamma radiation emitted, we end up with:
Total Radiation = (Original Radiation) * (The fraction of energy released as Gamma Radiation) * ((Tony's Snap energy)/(Original Snap energy))
Total Radiation = 1,000,000 * 0.51 * (1080/54*10^9)
Total Radiation = 0.0102 Sieverts
Or roughly 10.2 millisieverts
(note, I'm assuming that the radiation that's given off scales directly and linearly with the amount of energy used)
Really only enough to slightly increase Tony's risk of cancer. Even if I'm wrong in this by two orders of magnitude (entirely possible), Tony still shouldn't have died so quickly.
Because he did, however, we can assume that the statement of "as much energy as a continent" is incorrect and this makes sense as the only way to properly measure the amount of energy given off is to have accurate measurement tools next to Thanos when he made the original snap.... which they didn't.
So what does this all mean?
Everyone in Wakanda that didn't get dusted dies of cancer due to the insane radiation emitted when Thanos did the original snap.
It also means I've spent way too much over analysing this... :D
That was pretty amazing actually. If you were able to come up with that analysis on your own, it is safe to say Marvel (or at least the producers of End Game) did not spend enough time on this to put an accurate energy analogy in Mark Ruffalo's script, lol.
Also according to your calculations, Hulk DEFINITELY shouldn't have had his arm so badly damaged, even if your calculations were WAY underestimating.
Your calculations also make me think, the power of all the combined infinity stones is pretty underwhelming, actually... oh well. Either that or life is way too easy to extinguish! XD
@@rubegoldberger My headcanon is that the estimate that the hulk gave out isn't the max output of the infinity stones which should, in theory, be infinite.
Instead, it's either the power output of a continent for a whole year.
or
it statically puts out that much power, however, that static output is mostly in forms that don't really interact with people (e.g. low energy radio waves, some visible light and a whole bunch of neutrinos) so it wouldn't really matter.
Then when it gets used for an actual purpose the output skyrockets and because of the greater energies involved it gets converted to higher energy wavelengths like gamma rays.
You're making an assumption Kyle did too: that being able to power a continent means it releases that amount of energy as (mostly) gamma rays when you use the gauntlet. If that was the case, then it would be completely useless for anything but releasing gamma rays. "It could power a continent" only means that you *could* power a continent if you wanted to.
...that or simply the glove uses the same energy for any task.
@@jaserart That would mean it would be more dangerous to use it for moving one gram of matter than to eradicate half the life in the universe.
Thank you for that outro cause I was wondering what kind of exposure would the bystanders of the snap be subject to.

What are you talking about? Tony got the same radiation burns as both Thanos and Hulk. It just killed him because he was a normal dude.
@@xdecatron2985 I think he means that when the gauntlet formed on Tony's hand, there were no obvious effects from wearing it until he snapped. Hulk's gauntlet caused him pain immediately, but Tony's did not.
I think the explanation for that is that the suit was able to absorb the latent energy (remember when Thor hit him with his lightning and it simply charged the battery? This suit is significantly more advanced than that one) in a way that the gauntlet alone was not.
@@DiMono Also, just because he did not show any pain does not mean he wasn't in great pain... At that moment he was focused on snapping away Thanos in the middle of a war, he probably had lots of adrenline pumping through him and was able to ignore the pain from touching the stones.

@GravityZero You must remember how much Hulk was screaming in pain when he was trying to snap everyone back to reality. But Ironman struggled comparatively less. Do you think it was his suit that protected him?
Coz if this much radiation is given out, then all the Avengers in and around that area are definitely prone to the same radiation.

@@WorkHorse3002 you should ask or discuss on sites like Quora or Reddit...
To be fair the Hulk brought back half the universe with his snap, Tony only snapped thanos Army out of Existence. Different Feats with diffrent results.
@@jonklaus1466 It's not about what you do with it. The moment you put on the infinity gauntlet, may it be thanos or hulk, they scream in pain.
In IW, when thanos got all the stones, he too was screaming.
And hulk started screaming the moment he put on the gauntlet.
He could barely snap.
But when tony got all the stones, he was able to bear them quite well.
even if Hulk is basically gamma radiation, he was hit with 1% of an atomic bomb, i dont think he'll heal from that
But Tony's Snap wasn't like Thanos or Hulks snap, because it was only concerning the Army of Thanos. So there would be less radiation, since there is less Power needed to dust an Army, than half the universe.
The radiation output would be the same: its not the mafnitude of what yoy made happen, it is simply the stones making it hapen that releases the radiation.
@@Grayson.P I'm not sure about that. We see thanos using all six stones against Thor simply projecting energy, and it does nothing to his arm, only as he snaps does he get injured by the gauntlet. That would lead me to believe it's also dependent on the magnitude...
Kim Schröder Tony said it was releasing THAT energy, although I think Kyle got it wrong sooooo.... whatevs
I think it's a fair assumption because thanos was in a much worse state after using the stones to destroy them then to kill half the universe, meaning he got hurt more when he did something "harder" which may explain how tony just started dying and didn't got instantly fried.

Hi Kyle, love the show. Does the amount of radiation that Tony Stark is exposed to also cause the physical damage we see in the film? We see Thanos, the Hulk, and Tony Stark suffer from large, burn-like wounds after they snap the gauntlet. Is this simply caused by the heat of the gauntlet going critical? Or are their wounds also due to the shear amount of radiation?
Radiation exposure does cause thermal-like burns ala Hulk and Thanos but iirc they can take a while to appear, far longer than is available between Tony's snap and death in the film at least
Ryan Dolfuss I feel like it would be the heat. We can visibly see that the gauntlet melts or at the very least is partially destroyed. Also, most reactions give off heat. It would make sense that whatever reaction that produced the radiation also gave off a crap ton of heat, which is something we can then see because of the state of the gauntlet after the snap. So yeah, I think the wounds are burns from the excessive heat given off from the snap.
I think so. In school our Physics teacher told us there's a specific amount of Radiation that would cause a human to die instantly and desintegrate (theoretically). I can't remember the number but I guess Tony had more than that. I doubt the specific injuries he suffered are not really accurate because it was never tested
I think the gauntlet in addition to channeling the power safely, also directs the energy released into the wielder to prevent the radiation from killing those around it.

I'd interpreted the damage of the gauntlet to mostly come from putting it on, not from the snap. Tony had probably signed his death warrant the moment he attached the stones to the glove he wore.
Nah, Thanos says in the movie that destroying the stones nearly killed him, not from putting it on. Hulk wasn't really worthy of holding all the stones which is why it damaged him, Tony on the other hand has all the traits to put on a gauntlet, which is why Thanos respected him in Infinity War.
@@jamaaldagreatest2748
Nothing has previously established a need for _worthiness_ when welding the stones.
We saw a need for fortitude when wielding the power stone in GotG, and we saw a need for sacrifice in attaining the soul stone, but never anything to suggest a test of character.
Thanos struggled to use the stones to destroy the stones because it was nearly beyond their ability. In most Marvel Comics interactions, the stones are incapable of affecting themselves.
@@OriginalPiMan Fortitude, is a great example aka Tony. He's tried sacrificing himself on multiple occasions, hence the soul stone. The mind stone requires a smart mind in the comics and again, Tony. The time and reality stones are kinda in the air but eh, plus Tony envisioned a reality in which they lose after the first Avengers which is why he made Ultron so I guess that counts. In the comics though it's been shown that while they can be used by people, being able to use the stones to their fullest potential requires the aptitude in all of those categories which is why Thanos is better at using them than some other characters thatve tried. Using the stones to their fullest potential is also being able to destroy them, which is something I don't think someone like the Hulk could've done which is why a much weaker Tony Stark was able to snap his fingers way easier than the Hulk was .
Jamaal Mcnagger tony was also damaged from putting it on, you can see him wince and struggle for words as the stones settle into his glove

He definitely meant powering it.
12:50 "trying to snap as slowly as possible?"
I think you meant quickly, as quickly as possible
No. He meant slowly. The amount of radiation given off in a single snap is the same regardless of if the snap takes 0.1s or a whole day. Increasing the time reduced your exposure.
1,000,000j of radiation over 0.1s is more dangerous that 1,000,000j of radiation over a day, or a week, or a year.
@@jk844100 He didn't mean to say slowly as he says before that the less time you are exposed the better. Your point might make some sence but in this situation he never spoke about doing a snap slowly would average out the radiation over time. Plus in the film, how is he going to do a snap that takes a year/month/day to do? Either way its just a fun thought experiment anyways so as long as you liked the video that all good.
hey with regard to Tony Stark shielding himself from the snap wouldn't he need a layer of protection from within the gauntlet as well? So not just a shield that goes around the gauntlet but maybe like an extra inner glove lined with super dense lead or something like that that can prevent the gamma radiation from also going into his hand.
Love your show by the way
Your the best TH-camr in my opinion
Nah. He could just cut his arm off after the snap. XD
Not necessarily. Having your arm radiated is not all that bad. There are no vital organs inside. Ionic radiation is causing degeneration of the cells due to damaging their DNA. His arm would have to be amputated before the decaying process would poison his body. Similar to Frostbite. As long as none of the vital organs would be radiated Tony will live. There is a possibility that this amount of gamma radiation would knock out some neutrons out of atoms of Tony's hand and make them unstable (radioactive), but amputating hand quickly, before his vital organs would absorb any of the radioactive elements, should solve that problem.
I think the biggest problem is somewhere else. If the shielding on top his gauntlet worked perfectly there is a problem of the shape. The shielding would need to have an opening through which Tony puts his arm in. Just like any gove has one. So the radiation would go straight through this opening (along the forearm). If Tony would keep his hand as far as possible like Kyle is suggesting, radiation shooting out of the opening could hit his vital organs. The best solution for Tony would be to lay down on the back on the ground, put his elbow to the ground and bend it probably around 45 degrees. That way the radiation would go straight to the ground and not hit any of Tony's or somebody else's vital organs.
And All this is assuming that this amount of energy wouldn't instantly vaporize Tony.

Problem is, the gauntlet doesn't seem to give off that radiation in the way you describe (expanding outward in a sphere from the gauntelt), it seems to just put it straight into the person wearing the thing... Tony, Rhodey, Cap, Thor, Rocket, Hawkeye, and Ant-man were standing around Bruce when he did the first snap, and all of them were perfectly fine, if it worked how you describe here everyone in that room would have died.
Thanos: Omae wa mou-
Tony: SHINDEIRU
Thanos: NANI?!
Lmfao
This brings up the question: How come this didn’t happen as extremely to thanos and those around him when he snapped? As you said in your could you snap in an infinity gauntlet, the gauntlet would most likely be made of Uru, or some alloy containing it.
Given that Thanos is a smart guy, albeit a heartless one, he would have predicted that the snap would give off this much energy. He could have thought that since Uru absorbs magic (or just highly advanced technology, like the infinity stones) or possible “magical” energy in the form of radiation, that could shield him from most of it. But what happens to Thor? He was standing right next to the gauntlet during the snap. Well, the gauntlet and thanos‘s hand were in between him and the stones. What about the people behind thanos? Well, the Uru was in direct contact with all of the stones, and that could have redirected all of the energy into the gauntlet. It appears to have mostly melted at the end of A: IW. That could be a result of absorbing all of the energy from the snap itself. But, in doing so, a lot of that energy went right through the gauntlet and into thanos‘s hand. If he were to snap again, to say, destroy the stones, the Uru of the gauntlet would have little effect in blocking the energy, resulting in the scarring and disfigurement in the beginning of Endgame.
Given that Thor took the full blast of a neutron star in infinity war, I'm pretty sure the gauntlet gamma ray output would be significantly less.
If magneto was a part of the mcu he could have thrown the gauntlet into the sky (100s of meters away) and snap it safely
Yess
Yeah, and he'd have killed both Thanos, his army, and then every non-mutant on Earth! Good trade off, I guess.
Wouldn't work. If that theory were workable then Tony would be alive, and Banner wouldn't have had to take the arm burn. Basically all the Iron Man armor from IM3 onward can be operated WITHOUT Tony actually being in it. The glove he builds is obviously tech like his suit. Thus he could have had everyone evacuate THEN seal the room, connect with the neural link and snap the glove remotely. The Stones almost surely require a direct physical connection to the user in order to work. If it worked at a distance you'd run into the potential that the Stones might be able to read what EVERYBODY was wishing for at the time, and that would get messy in a hurry.
What's the gauntlet made of? Gold?,titanium?,tungsten?
@Hilbert França nah its the same material as Thor's Stormbreaker
Tony Stark uses his Thrusters and weapons using his mind through a device in his helmet so Tony Stark could shoot his Gauntlet far into space and use his Iron Man helmet to snap when it's at a safe distance.
Here is the problem with that, a sentient being needs to be directly interfacing with the stones in order for them to function. IE, if you aren't touching them, you aren't able to activate them. This is actually shown repeatedly in the MCU. Ronan had to first touch the power stone to connect to it, and then could attach it to his weapon to give himself a buffer to allow him to use it, but if the stone is removed from his immediate touch...remember that he lost the power the second the stone was removed from anything touching him...the gem turned off. Same when the manage to get the gauntlet from Thanos, you see the gems visibly darken...they have become innert as no sentient being is interacting with them.
Wouldn't a flash of radiation that strong have killed everyone in the battlefield?
Yup, probably everybody within 10 miles at utter minimum would have gotten a lethal dose. Its what 100,000x the 100% lethal dose for humans? Inverse squares or not, everybody there save Hulk would be fucked.
I think the suit took lots of energy and radiation
@@axisz7411 yeah, we've seen the suit take thors lightning, so it's not that unreasonable for the suit to absorb gamma
I think the force of gauntlet internally tears apart the wear (probably at cellular level) this is why Tony is dead. Tony is an already dead man walking when he put the stones into his gauntlet model.
Mr Stark, we don't feel so good.
I think Tony was saying that the background radiation of the gauntlet is enough to power a continent.
Then that would mean that the avengers die the moment the gauntlet is made. Except for maybe Hulk, since he can absorb gamma rads in the comics.
It seems the radiation doesn't spread, it just hits Tony.
I'm pretty sure the radiation was spreading itself around Tony's armour
@@deeeenisttv I mean those levels of radiation would kill many people if it spread, so I don't think so. Otherwise the other Avengers would be in trouble
Don't forget plot armor. Batman isn't the only expert in that craft.
"Could power a continent" is the biggest understatement the gauntlet has ever had said about it tbh.
"a continent", more like 20% of the milky way, the stone are the motherfucking INFINITY STONES ffs.
Hello, love the show and congrats for 1M !
Just a question, if Iron Man shield the gauntlet to protect himself from the radiation, wouldn't it prevent the snap from working ?
if you're thinking a container will stop the effects of the stones, which i think you are, just remember the snap isn't required to be outside (hulk did it indoors) and the effects are universal, so even a little box will not stop it. or a big box (like the room hulk was in for his snap which is avengers HQ so i'm guessing that has shielding to).
i had the same thought but then i questioned the size of the shield/container. the point of the shield being mentioned was to see if tony could survive. your concern should be lifted now
His contract expired.
yes but no, could've renew but him and Chris got tired of doing basically only MCU movies, you gotta remember Robert has been in a S**t load of the 22 films released, either fully or down to a cameo.
@@NelsonBlvd bullshit! he could make other movies at the same time. only that he and his businessmen wanted more and more money and was already becoming unbearable for the producers.
@@renatoigmed That's not how film production works fella.
Nah it's all coz of the contract
@@renatoigmed You got a time stone lying around? MCU films are practically back to back and have their actors filming for months to years flying to sets all across the world. The man had no time to film anything else. Not to mention he's 54 years old, you expect him to play a lead action hero for another 11 years? You think he would have enough energy after filming giant MCU blockbusters? Give RDJ a break, he's only human. He gave us 11 years of his career and life, let him go.
Is science Thor going to make his own infinity gauntlet?
Professor Thor*
Those are the only names and only relevant comments to this video
T'challa made two in the comics... just because he could.
So what about the other heroes in the area? Did they get a lethal dose or did Tony ensure that with his snap that everyone was protected too, assuming he knew about the radiation thing?
He could have used space stone to distance a part of his hand covered by the glove like Dr Strange portal and snap.
Remember the scene where Dr Stange took Wongs Book
I dont think it would have worked. It looks like all the stones have to be pooled in concert to pull off a snap, likely no multitasking option there. So if he had a space door opened, and tried to snap, bye bye hand.
@@Luinta If it worked, it would have been better than death
He didn't think about it because he didn't knew he would die. That's why Strange said that Tony wouldn't do it if he knew.
@@Gnidel Pretty sure he knew. He's a genius scientist and he even created the second gauntlet and knew the effects of the stones. Strange said that to Tony because of course you will be hesitant when told "you have to die so we win" and things would work out differently (they would lose). From the look on Tony's face before snapping I believe he finally realized what was truly important and what kind of man he wanted to be.
Also, remember the scene with his father: Howard Stark said he didn't want his kid to be like him, because he could never put the good of the people above his selfish needs. You can see this has an impact on Tony and it's also part of what makes him sacrifice for the good of the universe.
@@awesomeman2245 if it wouldn't work they would have lost.. again.
I thought he said could level a continent..
hmmmmmmM
FanStalin Gibs I also heard this
True
He said it could power a continent
Neither. He said "light up a continent"
@@Di-Ferr that could mean power or destory
How about a video describing how Thanos’ weapon in endgame was able to cut through Caps vibranium shield?
The Gaming Decorator Vibranium comes from space. Thanos comes from space. Thanos’ space sword is made of Vibranium.
It's made of PLOT-onium.
I'm not apologizing.
BulldogTheHeavy Industries lol no need
8:17 aka the "demon core", which was responsible for another deadly criticality incident the previous year at the same facility.
You don't often see the word 'demon' in such a scientific conversation.
What if Tony was like,"Friday, fly away and snap." And then he lived
probably can't, since to do snap it connect directly with your conciousness to grant the wish of the snap...
and the gauntlet would not activated, just like the gauntlet that always dormant when it not equipped, even Hawkeye can carry it...
@@Nematoda4ever ok cool
No mind, no soul.
He should have used the reality stone to turn Thanos into a toad and be done with him and lives happily ever after.
Why not simply use the reality stone to change his body material to the same used in infinity gauntlet/stormbreaker, absorbing the radiation, and then snapped, so he wouldn't get hurt, and then turned himself human again. I know why! Because RDJ can't be bothered to do any more movies. Simple as that.
Cause Robert Downey Jr's time is up
@@CaptainFlipperHere Give the man a break. Hes over 50 and he's done so many movies for us. Ungrateful much?
@@evilparadigm And what case you'll make for Chris Evans? He wants to go back to playing in cheap romantic comedies? It's not like RDJ's been going through changes like Christian Bale, maybe he has a past, but I don't think it affects him that much to just give up on the role that in a way gave him a second start. And I am ungrateful and sad, because I loved him, and now he's gone.
@Spacenibba Nibby Exactly, the nano gauntlet they made was just to redirect the gems energy(and desperation), the UHHHrU gauntlet was made in order to use the gems separately(and cruelty), Thanos knew how to use them, Tony didnt
Hey Kyle, could you look into the defeat of Kars from Jojo's Bizarre adventure? If his armor would allow him to survive on lava, if a volcano could propel him into the atmosphere and if the debris could have sent him into space. Also, he had access to the abilities of all lifeforms on earth, maybe see if there was something he could have done to avoid drifting into space forever, aside from what we saw him do.
Yes this is a jojo reference.
Water bear nuff said.
Also whether it's feasible for him to be literally rock-frozen in space
No need for an episode. In space you wouldn't instantly freeze and be unable to move even if you were human. Even tho space is cold, it's really difficult for heat to escape from your body when there's no medium to transfer to, like air or water. That means the only way for you to cool down in space is through radiations. It would take quite a long while to completely freeze like that. You would die of suffocation waaaay before then. Also, if Kars really wanted to survive, he could chop off a couple of limbs and throw them in the opposite direction with as much strength as possible. That would stop your momentum and you would be able to throw yourself back at Earth.
Would Thor have gotten lots of radiation too? In the first movie he was right next to Thanos so the radiation should’ve done the same thing to Thor to what happened to Tony?
You know what amazed me during Infinity War and Endgame?Everyone did a perfect snap the first time.
It's not as falliable as the end of Ghostbusters where a deviation in thought would screw you. And everyone who did snap were either people who thought they had a noble crusade or heroes with no other option than to get it right the first time.
And even if they weren't I still doubt that would happen.
