@@navi6293 well, they all said a lot of things.

(aren't these guys supposed to have engineering degrees?) Ultimately though, Garnt appears to be right about saying that few people can intuitively understand the Richter scale.
Zombie apocalypse: Connor: *figures out how to survive but misses first step and impulsively dies* Garnt: *befriends the wrong people and is slowly being targeted as scapegoat without notice* Joey: *comes outside after enjoying a year inside doing his own thing, and realizes he's the only person left on earth who survived a zombie apocalypse he didn't know about*
The "Logarithmic Scale" means that the /scale/ is logarithmic, IE each step on the y axis is log(x), so an exponential function drawn on a logarithmic scale looks like a straight line - such as the richter scale. So increasing the y by a number means that the x has actually increased exponentially - the inverse of what the scale is.
The man who tragically was in the receiving end of that radiation accident was Hisashi Ouchi, he endured over two indescribably grueling months in a special hospital wing before passing.
I only remembered the story because of how horrific and unethical it was that people (his family) were keeping him alive while he was clearly in immense pain :(
For anyone interested in Connor's story about the 'glowing stuff' that killed a family, its called the Goiânia accident, and it happened when a hospital shut down\moved sites but failed to remove all the hazardous wasn't from the old location. A guy came in to loot the place, took a few machine parts home and remove the Caesium component, cracked it open then sold it to a scrap yard. The yard owner then brought it home and let his kids\wife play with the cool glowing blue dust - of course his young daughter painted herself in it, and they all ended up coated in this highly radioactive dust, in some cases consuming it (don't eat radioactive material, kind of a bad idea). By the end of the even 4 people died, and some 249 were contaminated in some way (proximity to the source pre breakout, direct dust contact etc).
The saddest part of the stories was - the doctors were always trying to remove the radioactive stuffs, but the new owner didn’t allow them to enter the site despite them trying the best to explain how dangerous those stuff was. They even contacted authorities but the authorities did nothing. So you guess who took the responsibility after the incidents? Not the thief, not the new owner, but the DOCTORS. Just because they are the one buying these substances in the first place. Like, WTF?
man that's unfortunate but why did the guy sold the dust to a scrap yard? What was the scrap yard owner supposed to do with the dust (like, even if it wasn't radioactive)? I'd get it if it was still in a tube or a container of some sort but just the dust in itself really makes me wonder what was the thought process behind this
Boys, here's a simple explanation of why you guys struggle with logarithmics! How logarithmic scales work: Remember when Connor said he went to a place that had a pH of 2 and Garnt was confused that Connor didn't melt ? It's the same principle with the Richter scale, both of those scales are logarithmic. A pH of 2 is vinegar and you can deal with it but a pH of 1 will leave chemical burns on your skin after a short exposition. In the same way, an earthquake of magnitude 8 is a problem, an earthquake of magnitude 9 is very dangerous. Those two scales work in base 10 which means every increment is 10 times the previous increment. As such, a pH of 1 is 10 times more acidic than a pH of 2 and a magnitude 9 earthquake is 10 times bigger than a magnitude 8 earthquake. Why the scales are logarithmic rather than exponential: Acidity and earthquakes scale linearly (+1, +1, +1...) but they do so across a very large amount of values. For example, a weak level could be 10 but a strong level could be 100 000 000. Since the range of values is so big, it's as if this linear scale was actually exponential. You can see in the example I gave that the biggest value, 100 000 000, is so big that it can be expressed as an exponential version of the smallest value, 10. As such, 10 to 100 000 000 is basically 10^1 to 10^6 which is why Joey and Garnt see earthquakes as exponential. However, as Connor said, exponentials and logarithmics are inverse which means you can use one to cancel the other. For example, half (1/2) and double (2/1) are inverse which means if you halve something then double it or double something and halve it, it cancels out. Exponential transformations tone up a scale (they increase growth) and logarithm transformations tone down a scale (they decrease growth). Since the linear growth of acidity and earthquake are so big that they behave like an exponential curve, we apply a logarithmic transformation to cancel the exponential feeling and to tone them down into... The pH or Richter scales! As such, the scales are logarithmic version of a linear scale that behaves like an exponential scale. The reason why Garnt and Joey didn't understand why it's not exponential is that the Richter scale takes the linear scale of earthquake intensity and tones it down into a logarithmic scale but Garnt and Joey start with the logarithmic Richter scale and tone it up to the linear scale of earthquake intensity. In short, they go the other way around by applying an exponential transformation to a logarithmic scale.
In laymen's term, as you move up the Richter scale, the strength of the earthquake is increased exponentially. That's because the scale is a result of putting the energy of earthquakes through a logarithmic function. To work out the "strength" of earthquakes, you simply reverse the process by applying the exponential function to those numbers.
@@Sonobody123 A more visual version would be: 1. Exponential functions e^x (cells dividing) - grows faster and faster 2. Linear functions x (how strong an earthquake is, how acid a substance is) - grows normally 3. Logarithmic functions log x (Richter scale, pH scale) - grows slower and slower If you want to go upward between those 3, you apply an exponential transformation, and if you want to go downward between those 3, you apply a logarithmic transformation. If you want to go down from an exponential function (1: e^x) to a linear function (2: x), you log your exponential function and the result will be a linear function: log of e^x is x. If you want to go down again from linear to logarithmic, you log your result: log of x is log x.

Compared to some counties the uk education system is great. Also they have never had to use their expertise since graduation so naturally they will forget a lot about it. In high school I studied German and was near fluent but 2 years since I haven't spoken it once and have basically forgotten everything I knew.
41:27 - I think I can relate to Joey looking calmer than he actually is during the earthquake. Whenever I was in a tense situation, like the false missile launch alert in Hawai'i, my body shuts off my emotions and focuses on being aware of my surroundings and thinking about what to do next.
On the logarithm earthquake thing: The difference in intensity between the numbers on the Richter scale grows exponentionally BECAUSE it is a logarithmic scale. That means you take intensity measurement and put it through a logarithmic function to "compress" the numbers on the higher end to make is more readable/understandable. To go Back form this logarithmic scale to the "raw" intensity you would have to use a exponential function since that is the inverse.
it is basically a difference of input and output or what the x and y define. connor was thinking the y is the power and x is the number while it is actually the opposite.
Connor, you’re not alone 😂 I LIKE tornados and thunderstorms. I’m just fascinated by these huge natural disasters. Obviously, I don’t wish for them to happen in my area and for people to get hurt, but there’s something about watching or experiencing these natural disasters that brings me a sense of peace and awe.

When I was in highschool, I had Japanese class. My teacher decided to introduce us all to kendama, and brought like 10 of them to class to give away to students. Within a week, there was not a class that went by where you didn't hear *CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK* from students with their kendama. Then it spread to the rest of the school, to the point my school banned kendama because they were everywhere and a "disruption" to class. My poor teacher felt so bad, I don't think she believed it would get as big as it did. The next year a kendama club was made, and by the time I graduated they started having kendama tournaments regularly!
I love how during the earthquake Joey was actually just an NPC walking around, that casual walk and emotionless face and just saying "Oh there's two earthquakes" like he isn't experiencing one right now
Probably the shortest oversimplification of logarithmic vs exponential is that the log scale is just a way of putting the exponential curve(the line you se that curves and goes infinitely upwards) into a straight line.
Its done so that its easier to display, but it can also lead to misconceptions because on the log scale, the distance between magnitude 7 and 8 is the same as between 6 and 7, but its actually exponentially different.
The part were they talked about radiation accidents reminded me of the *"Cobalt 60 bomb"* on Mexico; Basically a medical center contraband a big ass cobalt medical machine (that I think it was for x-rays or something like that) the problem was that people on this Mexican hospital didn't knew how to use this machine so they locked it on the basement for years until the hospital said "let's sell this machine as scrap metal" not knowing COBALT IS FUCKING RADIOACTIVE. And what happened is that not only the truck were they traveled with the machine left radioactive metal pieces on the roads but also the scrap metals were used to craft a ton of metal beams, bars & furniture that was used for a TON of houses. And they actually found out the radiation problem because a truck with some of the metal went to an U.S. nuclear organization and the radiation alarms went off, so they notified the Mexican authorities to track and recollect all the metal. And how does the story end? After they search and recollected all the metal they could find, they dump it on a desert area far away from the cities, the problem is that that area was also close to another area were they recollect water, so then the water got poisoned with radiation, a ton of Mexican families either died or had a ton of health problems because of this. Yeah Latin-america having the worst governments as ever.

57:00 The problem with bottled water isn't just the water itself, but also the bottle. Normal PET bottles in presence of light and air can degrade, become brittle and even leak out oxidized plastifiers (also why PET is not recommended to get into contact with hot food and liquids). It isn't true to bottles made of PP (polypropylene), as it is EXTREMELY stable to any chemical reaction even in presence of UV light, and it doesn't need plastifiers to make it plyable, which isn't the case for PET. Of course PP is more expensive to produce compared to PET, which is why PET is the material of choice for most products that are expected to be consumed within a year.

When I heard Connor talk about being the MC in a apocalypse I couldn't stop thinking that his plan to have a sidekick would backfire and turn him into the mentor of the MC and lead him to sacrifice his life for the kid
the condom thing is actually from an SAS documentary on preparing a survival kits. i believe since they are included because they are a compressed container that can carry up to 2L of water when filled.
The Demon Core was the core of the Nuclear bombs, and when it was completely sealed it would go critical, Louis Slotlin was studying how close he could get it to being sealed without it going critical, using only a screwdriver to separate the seal. One day it slipped and everyone in the room got an eventually lethal death; and Slotlin died shortly after from the radiation poisoning. He was likely the first person to get that much radiation at the time
I hate to have to comment about maths, but I think the confusion here comes from mixing up 'logarithmic scale', and 'logarithmic functions'. Plotting y = log(x) which is a logarithmic function, gives you a curve with diminishing returns like Connor said. But using a logarithmic scale, means the numbers on (usually) the y axis are the result of a log function, and so any straight curve on that chart will actually be exponential. I don't know if this makes any more sense, maths is hard and if you're reading this you're already a nerd so don't @ me.
easiest way I think most people would understand is that the input and output is swapped between what connor was thinking and the actuality. connor thought the richter number was the x when it is really the y.
I remember being in Fairbanks, Alaska, 365 miles from my hometown of Anchorage when it was hit by a 7.1 earthquake in 2018. My fiance and I were at our hotel when suddenly a few people, including myself felt sick before we felt the shock wave. We feel ya Japan.
The bois not understanding the richter scale was hilarious. The reason an 8 feels so much worse than a 7 is because it is 10 times stronger, every level increases more and more
But it's ten times stronger than the last which is ten times stronger than the last until you get to a base. It's not just 80 times stronger than a 1. I think that's what most people get confused over.
Garnt's protagonist powers are strong, he really just unknowingly prepared for an apocalypse, that's straight up like an anime character just picking stuff up in a cave and later on realizes it's a godkiller or something
The guy that got the highest radiation dose was Hisashi Ouchi, the guys that were processing fuel just bypassed most of the procedures and had the fuel reach critical mass giving Ouchi the largest dose ever recorded. Stories also say the he wanted to be put out of his misery after about a week, but the doctors kept him alive for 83 days

Not a mathematician, but the intensity of the earthquake goes on the x axis, and the richter number on the y axis, because it is the result of a function that takes the intensity as a parameter. Connor was picturing it with the axis swapped.

I can't help but correct Garnt. Each time he says 'chemical reaction', he should be saying 'nuclear reaction' as chemical reactions are only associated with reactions concerning the electrons (typically at the valence shell level), however nuclear reactions are ones that are associated with reactions and changes of the nucleus.

Connor is confusing a logarithmic scale with a logarithmic function. When you put an exponential function on a logarithmic scale you get a straight line.
I like how the boys aren't versed on the topics they talk about but are great in making you invested in a subject making you try to learn things on your own.
on the zombie part, sounds like Joey and Garnt have not heard about cordyseps or the snail parasite.... Hope we never see one develop a variant for humans.. so it isnt a 100% fake science.
chupacabra means goat sucker, literally, for the people that care cabra = goat chupa = abreviation of "chupar" = suck his lore is pretty basic, it was a monster that drank the bloods of farm animals at night, imagine a vampire but instead of thinking "oh yeah these bite marks must be from a very handsome human with a cape" the people thought "oh yeah these bite marks must be from an animal, because humans dont go biting farm animals and draining their blood", so instead of vampires you have chupacabras, a gremling looking four legged animal with a cilindrical mouth full of razor sharp teeths, you will not get any more lore behind them because as i said, they are animals, they have as much lore as a giraffe
It is so painful to watch them discuss logarithmic scales, especially knowing, two of them have engineering degrees. A logarithmic scale means, the value you put on the scale is a logarithm of the real value. So if you measure the amplitude of the earth vibrations or something if it is 1mm you put 1 on the scale if it is 10 you put 2, if it is 100 you put 3. So if you go back from the scale to the amplitude the amplitude will be exponential. An exponential scale would be the other way around, I don't know of such a scale, I guess it never makes sense. The reason we use a logarithmic scale is, that it does not matter much whether something has amplitude 1 or 2. If it is 10 or 20 does not make much of a difference either, if it is 100 or 200 is also not much of a difference. You want to get an estimation of how bad the earth quake is, so with each step you get something that is "much worse" than the lower one. The Richter-Scale is a bit more complicated than that, but it depends on the measurement of amplitudes and takes a logarithm of it. What is used today is actually typically not the Richter-Scale but the moment magnitude scale, based on something called the seismic moment which relates to how much of the earth surface is actually moved at the source of the earth quake or something like that. But the scale is the logarithm of that value again.
Thanks for explaining this. You actually broken it down in simple terms which made in it easier to understand. I've been looking at comments because I had no idea what any of these things mean lol
Do authorities not also advocate for Intensity scales such as the Modified Mercalli scale (MM) for reporting on earthquakes rather than magnitude scales like the Richter scale purely for the reasons the boys were saying? MM provides a measure of the immediate impact that allows the public to get a clearer understanding of how bad an earthquake was. Though I guess that as a measure it can be localised can be , most people would understand it giving the impact show in Aki's clips as about a 3 or 4 when compared to the 2010 Haiti earthquake's rating of 10.
@@garethpalmer4009 Not sure. MM classifies the amount of damage caused, so as far as I understand it, it is not a physical measurement but rather human observation following a checklist. It seems to be older than the Richter scale. The momentum magnitude scale is a global scale, so it describes the intensity of the earth quake at its source and is estimated by a lot of international measurements. So this is good to say how large of an seismic event this was. Local scales like the Richter scale describe the locally measured vibration intensity, so it is probably good to describe how intense it felt. The impact scales describe the level of destruction, which very much depends on the local infrastructure. Japan is build for it, so all quakes in Japan would be classified much lower than in many other regions of the world where much lesser earthquakes can flatten cities.
I really feel like no matter what it is, zombie apocalypse, Nuclear bomb, or being stuck in an abandon island I just wouldn't want to live. I have absolutely no survival instinct in me man, if I can't play my video games and watch my anime just let me die.

Another similarity between Garnt and me: we're both oddly calm during earthquakes. It's not just earthquakes for me tho. Every disaster - everything that makes people panic. I just stay calm. The more people panic around me, the calmer I get. Strange. I understood it as my brain entering the survival mode.
I work with explosives in an avalanche mitigation role and can confirm that having your mouth open during and explosion is defiantly the correct thing to do if you are near one.
Earthquakes get exponentially bigger so they use a logarithmic scale so they can express the exponential growth in a linear way ( magnitude 1,2,3,4,etc.)

So increasing the y by a number means that the x has actually increased exponentially - the inverse of what the scale is.

Boys, here's a simple explanation of why you guys struggle with logarithmics!
How logarithmic scales work:
Remember when Connor said he went to a place that had a pH of 2 and Garnt was confused that Connor didn't melt ? It's the same principle with the Richter scale, both of those scales are logarithmic. A pH of 2 is vinegar and you can deal with it but a pH of 1 will leave chemical burns on your skin after a short exposition. In the same way, an earthquake of magnitude 8 is a problem, an earthquake of magnitude 9 is very dangerous. Those two scales work in base 10 which means every increment is 10 times the previous increment. As such, a pH of 1 is 10 times more acidic than a pH of 2 and a magnitude 9 earthquake is 10 times bigger than a magnitude 8 earthquake.
Why the scales are logarithmic rather than exponential:
Acidity and earthquakes scale linearly (+1, +1, +1...) but they do so across a very large amount of values. For example, a weak level could be 10 but a strong level could be 100 000 000. Since the range of values is so big, it's as if this linear scale was actually exponential. You can see in the example I gave that the biggest value, 100 000 000, is so big that it can be expressed as an exponential version of the smallest value, 10. As such, 10 to 100 000 000 is basically 10^1 to 10^6 which is why Joey and Garnt see earthquakes as exponential. However, as Connor said, exponentials and logarithmics are inverse which means you can use one to cancel the other. For example, half (1/2) and double (2/1) are inverse which means if you halve something then double it or double something and halve it, it cancels out. Exponential transformations tone up a scale (they increase growth) and logarithm transformations tone down a scale (they decrease growth). Since the linear growth of acidity and earthquake are so big that they behave like an exponential curve, we apply a logarithmic transformation to cancel the exponential feeling and to tone them down into... The pH or Richter scales! As such, the scales are logarithmic version of a linear scale that behaves like an exponential scale.
The reason why Garnt and Joey didn't understand why it's not exponential is that the Richter scale takes the linear scale of earthquake intensity and tones it down into a logarithmic scale but Garnt and Joey start with the logarithmic Richter scale and tone it up to the linear scale of earthquake intensity. In short, they go the other way around by applying an exponential transformation to a logarithmic scale.
In laymen's term, as you move up the Richter scale, the strength of the earthquake is increased exponentially. That's because the scale is a result of putting the energy of earthquakes through a logarithmic function. To work out the "strength" of earthquakes, you simply reverse the process by applying the exponential function to those numbers.
@@Sonobody123 A more visual version would be:
1. Exponential functions e^x (cells dividing) - grows faster and faster
2. Linear functions x (how strong an earthquake is, how acid a substance is) - grows normally
3. Logarithmic functions log x (Richter scale, pH scale) - grows slower and slower
If you want to go upward between those 3, you apply an exponential transformation, and if you want to go downward between those 3, you apply a logarithmic transformation.
If you want to go down from an exponential function (1: e^x) to a linear function (2: x), you log your exponential function and the result will be a linear function: log of e^x is x.
If you want to go down again from linear to logarithmic, you log your result: log of x is log x.
this was actually so helpful
@@caleb6258 Glad I could help, let's hope the boys see this post before having another argument about scales hahaha.

The bois are practically family at this point. The only podcast I give a damn about. Thanks for the hours of content, fellas. Kept me sane over these past apocalyptic 2 years. Wouldn’t want to be watching anyone else during the end of the world. Cheers from Texas!
Garnt: I'm the guy who will conserve ammo during a zombie apocalypse.
*some time later during a TTRPG* Garnt: I'm conserving my mana, I cant save you.
I mean, at least he is consistent
consistency indeed

Sometimes you think "That would only happen in a movie or TV show, no way people actually do that." They indeed act like that, they truly do.
Glad to see Connor wearing the classic shirt from episode 17
I can't wait until he wears the Monkey Suit again!
why are you keeping track of that
Good catch my man
That is indeed a classic. Looks like something you wear in HS

Connor: Talks about guy becoming ill due to radiation "poisoning"
Also Connor: It's called food "poisoning", hence it's not an illness
Is he really that dumb?

Connor and Garnt really showing their Engineering skills at 44:30

The absolute state of the British education system lmao
Abysmal
The British education system is redundant
Lol them saying that they're dumber than the average person and me yelling at them because they all have engineering degrees which would presume that they have better math skills than the normal person?
You would be surprised at how much simple details are lost on people during Uni. In my case my worst headache with students is dilutions/concentration. Hell, even with my family I lost count how many times they said "I need to stay wake so I'm going for a short expresso" and I'm like "That has less caffeine than a long expresso..." and the retort is "But it is stronger".
Compared to some counties the uk education system is great. Also they have never had to use their expertise since graduation so naturally they will forget a lot about it. In high school I studied German and was near fluent but 2 years since I haven't spoken it once and have basically forgotten everything I knew.
41:27 - I think I can relate to Joey looking calmer than he actually is during the earthquake. Whenever I was in a tense situation, like the false missile launch alert in Hawai'i, my body shuts off my emotions and focuses on being aware of my surroundings and thinking about what to do next.
On the logarithm earthquake thing: The difference in intensity between the numbers on the Richter scale grows exponentionally BECAUSE it is a logarithmic scale. That means you take intensity measurement and put it through a logarithmic function to "compress" the numbers on the higher end to make is more readable/understandable. To go Back form this logarithmic scale to the "raw" intensity you would have to use a exponential function since that is the inverse.
Basically going up by 1 on the Richter scale means your earthquake is 10x stronger
the scale is a good data scale but is a dumb danger scale
Math special ASAP for the bois lmao
it is basically a difference of input and output or what the x and y define. connor was thinking the y is the power and x is the number while it is actually the opposite.
Yes, indeed. Indubitably.

Connor, you’re not alone 😂 I LIKE tornados and thunderstorms. I’m just fascinated by these huge natural disasters.

Remember kids, any flying object can be a UFO if you are bad enough at observing things
Well, by definition if it's flying and no one can identify it then it's an UFO.

They HAVE To have a survivor style special, like we went to a deserted island with 3 items each and survived one week
A week? It'd more likely be only 24hrs, though I'd like to see them try

When I was in highschool, I had Japanese class. My teacher decided to introduce us all to kendama, and brought like 10 of them to class to give away to students. Within a week, there was not a class that went by where you didn't hear *CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK* from students with their kendama. Then it spread to the rest of the school, to the point my school banned kendama because they were everywhere and a "disruption" to class. My poor teacher felt so bad, I don't think she believed it would get as big as it did. The next year a kendama club was made, and by the time I graduated they started having kendama tournaments regularly!
Sensei made history. That said, it seems like it was such a beauty seeing that history unfold
I love how during the earthquake Joey was actually just an NPC walking around, that casual walk and emotionless face and just saying "Oh there's two earthquakes" like he isn't experiencing one right now
Probably the shortest oversimplification of logarithmic vs exponential is that the log scale is just a way of putting the exponential curve(the line you se that curves and goes infinitely upwards) into a straight line.
Its done so that its easier to display, but it can also lead to misconceptions because on the log scale, the distance between magnitude 7 and 8 is the same as between 6 and 7, but its actually exponentially different.
Joey not annoyed at being told to do the skype sound? Must be at least a month old.
*Earthquake talk begins*
Me: Yup.
The part were they talked about radiation accidents reminded me of the *"Cobalt 60 bomb"* on Mexico;
Basically a medical center contraband a big ass cobalt medical machine (that I think it was for x-rays or something like that) the problem was that people on this Mexican hospital didn't knew how to use this machine so they locked it on the basement for years until the hospital said "let's sell this machine as scrap metal" not knowing COBALT IS FUCKING RADIOACTIVE.
And what happened is that not only the truck were they traveled with the machine left radioactive metal pieces on the roads but also the scrap metals were used to craft a ton of metal beams, bars & furniture that was used for a TON of houses. And they actually found out the radiation problem because a truck with some of the metal went to an U.S. nuclear organization and the radiation alarms went off, so they notified the Mexican authorities to track and recollect all the metal.
And how does the story end? After they search and recollected all the metal they could find, they dump it on a desert area far away from the cities, the problem is that that area was also close to another area were they recollect water, so then the water got poisoned with radiation, a ton of Mexican families either died or had a ton of health problems because of this. Yeah Latin-america having the worst governments as ever.
It should be noted that cobalt isn't usually radioactive its the Cobalt 60 Isotope that is.

57:00 The problem with bottled water isn't just the water itself, but also the bottle. Normal PET bottles in presence of light and air can degrade, become brittle and even leak out oxidized plastifiers (also why PET is not recommended to get into contact with hot food and liquids). It isn't true to bottles made of PP (polypropylene), as it is EXTREMELY stable to any chemical reaction even in presence of UV light, and it doesn't need plastifiers to make it plyable, which isn't the case for PET. Of course PP is more expensive to produce compared to PET, which is why PET is the material of choice for most products that are expected to be consumed within a year.
Aaaand that’s why bottle water has a expiration date…

When I heard Connor talk about being the MC in a apocalypse I couldn't stop thinking that his plan to have a sidekick would backfire and turn him into the mentor of the MC and lead him to sacrifice his life for the kid

the condom thing is actually from an SAS documentary on preparing a survival kits. i believe since they are included because they are a compressed container that can carry up to 2L of water when filled.
What I remember it from, is a meme from Full metal panic, showing Sousuke holding up a condom saying you can use it as a water bottle
The Demon Core was the core of the Nuclear bombs, and when it was completely sealed it would go critical, Louis Slotlin was studying how close he could get it to being sealed without it going critical, using only a screwdriver to separate the seal. One day it slipped and everyone in the room got an eventually lethal death; and Slotlin died shortly after from the radiation poisoning. He was likely the first person to get that much radiation at the time
connor calling an earthquake a quick time event is gold.
I hate to have to comment about maths, but I think the confusion here comes from mixing up 'logarithmic scale', and 'logarithmic functions'.
Plotting y = log(x) which is a logarithmic function, gives you a curve with diminishing returns like Connor said.
But using a logarithmic scale, means the numbers on (usually) the y axis are the result of a log function, and so any straight curve on that chart will actually be exponential.
I don't know if this makes any more sense, maths is hard and if you're reading this you're already a nerd so don't @ me.

it’s crazy how i’ve seen every single one of these podcasts, probably the most committed i’ve been to something
Me too😂😂
I haven't been this committed to improving myself either.
The bois not understanding the richter scale was hilarious. The reason an 8 feels so much worse than a 7 is because it is 10 times stronger, every level increases more and more
But it's ten times stronger than the last which is ten times stronger than the last until you get to a base. It's not just 80 times stronger than a 1. I think that's what most people get confused over.
Example
8 is 10⁸ times 1
7 is 10⁴ times 3
Garnt's protagonist powers are strong, he really just unknowingly prepared for an apocalypse, that's straight up like an anime character just picking stuff up in a cave and later on realizes it's a godkiller or something

Garnt: There's something primal about having your own man cave
Me: Probably its the "CAVE" part
Connor is talking logarithmic/exponential functions while Garnt is talking log scale, is not the same thing.
Not a mathematician, but the intensity of the earthquake goes on the x axis, and the richter number on the y axis, because it is the result of a function that takes the intensity as a parameter. Connor was picturing it with the axis swapped.

Each time he says 'chemical reaction', he should be saying 'nuclear reaction' as chemical reactions are only associated with reactions concerning the electrons (typically at the valence shell level), however nuclear reactions are ones that are associated with reactions and changes of the nucleus.

Don't they have 2 different depictions as well. A hound-like one and a alien/gremlin-like one

I can't believe 3 engineers can't seem to figure out a log plot LOL. Love this
and that's why theyre TH-camrs XD
30:55 The darkest timeline
It is so painful to watch them discuss logarithmic scales, especially knowing, two of them have engineering degrees.
A logarithmic scale means, the value you put on the scale is a logarithm of the real value. So if you measure the amplitude of the earth vibrations or something if it is 1mm you put 1 on the scale if it is 10 you put 2, if it is 100 you put 3. So if you go back from the scale to the amplitude the amplitude will be exponential.
An exponential scale would be the other way around, I don't know of such a scale, I guess it never makes sense.
The reason we use a logarithmic scale is, that it does not matter much whether something has amplitude 1 or 2. If it is 10 or 20 does not make much of a difference either, if it is 100 or 200 is also not much of a difference. You want to get an estimation of how bad the earth quake is, so with each step you get something that is "much worse" than the lower one.
The Richter-Scale is a bit more complicated than that, but it depends on the measurement of amplitudes and takes a logarithm of it.
What is used today is actually typically not the Richter-Scale but the moment magnitude scale, based on something called the seismic moment which relates to how much of the earth surface is actually moved at the source of the earth quake or something like that. But the scale is the logarithm of that value again.
Thanks for explaining this. You actually broken it down in simple terms which made in it easier to understand. I've been looking at comments because I had no idea what any of these things mean lol
Do authorities not also advocate for Intensity scales such as the Modified Mercalli scale (MM) for reporting on earthquakes rather than magnitude scales like the Richter scale purely for the reasons the boys were saying? MM provides a measure of the immediate impact that allows the public to get a clearer understanding of how bad an earthquake was. Though I guess that as a measure it can be localised can be , most people would understand it giving the impact show in Aki's clips as about a 3 or 4 when compared to the 2010 Haiti earthquake's rating of 10.
I still don’t completely understand (and Google was confusing me), but you simplified it enough for me to get the gist of it. So yeah, thank you 🙂
@@garethpalmer4009 Not sure. MM classifies the amount of damage caused, so as far as I understand it, it is not a physical measurement but rather human observation following a checklist. It seems to be older than the Richter scale.
The momentum magnitude scale is a global scale, so it describes the intensity of the earth quake at its source and is estimated by a lot of international measurements. So this is good to say how large of an seismic event this was. Local scales like the Richter scale describe the locally measured vibration intensity, so it is probably good to describe how intense it felt.
The impact scales describe the level of destruction, which very much depends on the local infrastructure. Japan is build for it, so all quakes in Japan would be classified much lower than in many other regions of the world where much lesser earthquakes can flatten cities.
You know Connor plays too many games when he calls an earthquake a friggin quick time event lmao
I really feel like no matter what it is, zombie apocalypse, Nuclear bomb, or being stuck in an abandon island I just wouldn't want to live. I have absolutely no survival instinct in me man, if I can't play my video games and watch my anime just let me die.

Another similarity between Garnt and me: we're both oddly calm during earthquakes.
It's not just earthquakes for me tho. Every disaster - everything that makes people panic. I just stay calm. The more people panic around me, the calmer I get. Strange. I understood it as my brain entering the survival mode.
I think Nihongo "Dogen" Jouzo san would be a great guest. Would love you see him in Trash Taste.

I work with explosives in an avalanche mitigation role and can confirm that having your mouth open during and explosion is defiantly the correct thing to do if you are near one.
I love that Connor always has Joey do the Skype sound effect when it comes up, I would do the same
Earthquakes get exponentially bigger so they use a logarithmic scale so they can express the exponential growth in a linear way ( magnitude 1,2,3,4,etc.)
Connor: Joey do the thing
Joey: *Skype noises*
Perfect, as it should be
