Kyle hill is the only reason i stay subscribed to Nerdist. he's actually informative and interesting.
+Sandul666 Thank you so much!
Kyle, here's one for you:
In the film, they show Walter Peck getting covered in marshmallow goo when Mr. Stay Puft gets obliterated by the exploding Temple of Gozer. Wouldn't all that melted marshmallow be hot enough to horribly burn or even outright kill anyone it rained down upon?
so, for everyone asking wich one was right, Kyle or Matpat, I'm gonna say Kyle, he used a pretty accurate volume but overestimated the density (Marshmallow density is about 211 kg/cubic meter) so the total amount of callories is reduced to be around 3,000,000,000 instead of the 7,000,000,000 callories. Matpat on the other side used the right density but a really wrong volume, using the weight he got divided by the density of marshmeallow we only get 46.28 cubic meters,way too little for a 34.29 meters tall marshmallow monster. a regular bus has a volume close to that, you know, staypuft is way bigger than a bus.
you have my compliments
piluex2 hmmm... who knows...
Quick! Someone do a combo of the two to get a more accurate description
What makes this episode so much better than normal because science episodes is he was reaching the answers/conclusions as he was filming and he was just shocked the entire episode. Good stuff
Who knew Marshmellowology was a thing? Kyle, that's who.
Science and math, coming together, mass hysteria!
kyle can you please explain how you write on that board?? Are you writing backwards or something? my mind is confused
+Will George he writes normal and just flip the video during post processing, so left is right and right is left
+Will George I thought this too, but now I wonder if he writes normally and then they flip the image. It would explain why he never wears a t-shirt with a logo on it. But maybe he just really likes plain colored v-neck shirts.
Please enlighten us Kyle!
+Azrayl Pax Ah. Answer posted while I was posting. Well there you go.
+Kyle Hill Could you find out his exact volume by finding a scale doll or figurine (which I don't know if one exists but I hope so because that would be cool to own) and uping the scale to 1:1?
Imagine if kyle was a military consultant: "don't…just don't it's a baaaaaaadddddd idea."
you forgot the fact such a massively heavy marshmellow would be compressed by its own weight, so you could assume that the marshmellow thowards the legs is much, MUCH denser than the one forming the head meaning that to still have the same shape than the one in the movie, you're gonna need a lot more marshmellow in that marshmellow.
Take notes high school. This is the kind of material that would make learning awesome.
3.6 million kilograms. "THAT'S A LOT!" :)
You could do a video about the materials we would need to use to recreate a Spartans armour from the Halo series; including math on the strength it would need to survive inter orbit to entry falls onto a planet (reference end of halo 2 start of halo 3 campaign, John 117 falling from space only in his armour).
Maybe an episode explaining some of Batman Gadgets?
you sir are a proof that it is very much about how you teach, not what, that makes students want to learn.
i will just wait for a day you make a video about something lotr related .
+daniels shamroks Thank you so much! Harder to hit on things in pure fantasy because the explanation is just as easily Because Magic...
+Kyle Hill ''One will keep a traveler on his feet for a day of long labour, even if he be one of the tall men of Minas Tirith'' it's Lembas bread but reminds more of a drug without side effects. Vital in the journey to mount Doom. Or maybe just elven snickers
Thank you Kyle, watching your presentation really inspired me.
You managed to make me happy in sad times as I recently lost someone that I love.
Thank you again, keep up the good work..:)
Because Science
Can you do a Because Science on how a Flux Capacitor could theoretically work or on what the science behind Harry Potter wands could be?
The Ricktator think about what you just asked about how harry potters wand works. you realise he uses magic and can do things that have absolutely no scientific theories or ideas what so ever. In the movie you can go back in time by turning a sand timer for stuff sake! case closed. harry potter will never wind up on this channel. this is science-sparta. . . boots the Ricktator off a cliff.
aussie oi oi oi Well you could do it, easily really.
Because science is more about applying realism to fantasy.
So, yenno something like the killing curse. "What could cause instantaneous and unescapable death?" And thats how it would go
Probably the most simplistic of the "Because Science with Kyle Hill" series, and definitely the most delicious!
Yes, Kyle would be good teacher! He can explain math so cyllindrically...
"It's a baaad idea, don't... BAD idea" XD LOL!!!
It might also be interesting to look into the science of acoustics. Why do some sounds fill us with so much elation as to make us weep, or to lose control of all bodily function (or the subsonic creepy vibe you mentioned in a previous video)? From non-lethal riot suppression to that overused BWAAAH 'Inception' sound.
are you writing backwards, if you are that's impressive
Just mirroring video in post
+Zac Lee ohh, thanks
+roninglx i can do it for real, but only at about a third of his speed...
+roninglx You are extremely gullible.
*****
He actually confirmed Zac Lee 's theory
+Kyle Hill
Going back to the volume of Mr. Stay Puft. I'm Curious about gravity being a factor here. While maintaining the height of the monster, with all the weight of the marshmallow body compressing down on itself. So wouldn't all the air in the marshmallow would be squeezed out resulting in thicker layers like in the legs? So the top of the monster is lighter (containing more air) than the bottom due to gradual compression the further down the length of its body we go. If this is the case then the monster has more mass and therefore could probably come closer to providing the needed caloric intake of 1984 NY for a day. Thoughts? Excellent videos as always!
Kyle, what was in the spider bite that gave Peter Parker his powers?
Radioactivity
That would cause cancer, not spider powers.
+Rami Ungar Depends upon the kind of radiation. The heat from a campfire is radiation, and that'll keep us very much alive and cozy (but also not give us spider powers).
If we go with the genetically-modified spider, it is possible that the venom contains a retrovirus capable of rewriting DNA so that Peter does get his powers. It would explain how fast acting the change is, and even why the mutations keep occurring over a long period of time.
And is that particular spider from a species that produced a neurotoxic or cytotoxic venom? Or both, after modification...
So who was right: Kyle or MatPat?
Kyle. Because science.
Matpat
Mat pat did it more science tificly using the actual model to judge
MatPat
matpat
Another way to get his volume would be to do water displacement on the toy, figure out the height of the toy, and multiply to the height of the actual Staypuft
KYLE IS THE BEST.
+Natalia Righetti Thank you so much! That means a lot
+Kyle Hill I learn so much and you really are the best!!! Hahaha
+Kyle Hill FAKE
Its even better that Kyle geeks out too haha
Natalia Righetti MATPAT already did this so check out his vid
1:16 and as we all know, his chest "cylinder" is a curved 2D sheet of marshmallow and not 3 dimentionel
Seven billion calories?! Mark Watney is crying into his potato ration right now.
I fucking love these videos.
Ahhhhhhhhhh... Marshmellowey sciency goodness.
Your science has made me hungry for marsh mellows, Kyle. lol.
Don'tcha just looove how Kyle mixes imperial/metric measurements and doesn't even care...
I never realized the "D&ck" guy was right next to Stay Puffed. I have seen the movie many times and never noticed that which is funny because he earlier claimed the ghostbusters release nerve gasses to induce hallucinations and now he is face to face with a giant marshmallow.
I always wondered how they contained ghost in their base.
Seems more complex than a simple steel vault.
+Comrade Canary It's a "laser confinement grid". Whatever that means.
_CITIZEN_: "The marshmallow man is attacking!"
_MAYOR_: *Send in Kirby.*
Send In The Africans!!!!!!!
About a year after this video went up Film Theory put up a video on this topic suggesting the Stay Puft Marshmellow Man clocks in at over 36 million calories. I am not saying ether is wrong here I just believe that the calculations done here seem far more accurate. According to Film Theorys caloric estimation this thing smaller than most buildings could feed the 7million+ population of New York for just over 5 days? Are you kidding me? Even densely packed food of absurdly high amounts of calories the size of a building larger than this wouldn't feed that city for more than a day. But what do I know I'm just some scrub with an opinion online.
I honestly think this result makes a bit more sense than MatPat's calculation. But both do indeed make sense as they were approached different ways.
well,both have flaws,but kyle's were way bettee than Matpat's. Kyle used an accurate volume but overestimated the density (marshmallow density is about 211 kg/m^3) which is easily correctable. on the other hand Matpat used the right density but a wrong everything else, I calculated the volume that Matpat's staypuft man should have using the resultant mass and marshmallow density, I only got about 45 cubic meters, way too little for a 34 meters tall marshmallow monster, that is funnily enough, about the volume of a regular bus. I think the problem was in the BMI formula.
I wish I had you as a teacher when I was a student, math would've been my priority. Anyway, my children enjoy your show, so keep up the good work.
I LOVE THESE VIDEOS
00:40 - that greenscreen
how does the bat grapple work? why...cuz I want one.
1) this video made me hungry because MARSHMALLOWS :D and 2) I can't be the only one who thought Kyle was drawing the Android droid instead of Stay Puft :p
I have always wanted to know this thank you
I would love to see what happens when marshmallow man climbs mt.everest
So... now we know that if we ever get attacked by a giant Marshmallow Man all we have to do is go and take a bite each.
Tadaaa! No more destroyer.
I would like to see Superman have a big roast.
But you're forgetting that if he weighs that much, the marshmallow becomes more compressed toward the bottom.
For the first time ever, he beat game theory
could u please do a show about the science of the ghost trap
wait for it! my algebra teacher say see. You use algebra figure out how big a walk marshmallow man is.
Wouldn't it have been easier to get an official toy, and submerge it to see exactly how much volume it has?
7 billion? That's Over 9000!
... so I am in my car outside of Lincoln Center (in Manhatten) enjoying some science, when +Kyle Hill says "1/3 the mass NYC produces" ... so lost ... so very lost rn
+DrkWngDck Mass of trash!
Freaking love you Kyle !!
Really cool the show guys. But there's a big misconsception, you're talking about calories but you should say Kilo calories (KCal), it's a normal mistake that's why we're starting to use Joules more often (in food I mean).
Oh, I normaly watch film and game theory, and I found this theory there.
7 billion calories of delicious fluffy destruction.
I always thought Marshmellow Man was a product placement from Michelin. HAH
Curious: what would be the amount of sugar in Stay Puft?
+Kyle Hill could we ever harness tachyons to have super speed like the flash
Please in the name of science
Wouldn't the weight at that size compress the density notably meaning it's heavier?
I realy realy want to know how the "space cars" from StarWars and other SF movies could fly with no problems in and out of the athmosphere.
Seven billion calories or thirty two million calories what is the right answers...
Because science vs film theory!
How long would it take for Goku to EAT the StayPuft Marshmallow Man?
Bravo.
lol his hair gets gradually longer as you go down the episodes
hidden colab between because science and film theory?
Since the cylinders are made of marshmallow, wouldn't the edges of the tops be rounded slightly and not perfectly 90°, so shouldn't you take a bit off for the round corners.
been meaning to say how about venoms symbiote how ever its spelled. or shape shifting
I calculated how many average sized russet potatoes that it'd take to equal the mass of the sun. About 7 trillion (7,000,000,000,000)! Now, it'd take all of ireland, eating potatoes at a constant rate and nothing but potatoes, and assuming the potatoes don't rot and the population of ireland doesn't change, about 3 billion (3,000,000) years to eat them all! That was a fun physics class.
Well... The suns mass in KG is 1,988,920,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. This means, that if the avg potato weighed at around 0.20KG, that would mean you divide the weight of the sun by 0.20KG. This would = at around 994,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. So infact, you are wrong. That would be around ^ number of potatos not a puny 7,000,000,000,000.
Lemme do my calculations again...
Oopsie! 7,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
Eric Haffeman
Eric Haffeman ignore the above comment misclick lol
ALSO... The average time spent to eat 1 potato is around 1 minute, so 994,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 minutes. This divided into hours would be 1.6566667e+31. Then this divided into days would be 6.9027778e+29. This divided into weeks would be 9.8611111e+28. This divided into months would be 2.2679048e+28, this then divided into years would be 1.8899207e+27, this divided up by the population of ireland being at around 4 839 024, would = in 3.9055824e+20. This means each person in Ireland would need to eat 3.9055824e+20 potatos per year. And since that number is far too big, the average person eating the potatoes would gain so much weight from just the potatoes they would most likely die. You also cannot live just off potatos, so if they wanted to maximise their eating of potatos they'd need to eat and drink different foods as well. This would increase the time by ALOT, meaning it would take alot longer than 3 billion years to eat all the potatos.
Now calculate out calories of the twinkie! 35 feet long and about 600 pounds (That's a big twinkie)
Kyle they are try to making a new swat Kats series, and i want to know how big is the turboKat since it carry a larges amount of weapons and small vehicles.
Hey, Kyle I am a nerd to, but more of a book nerd and I want to do see if things in books can be real like in Percy Jackson if empathy links can be real. So I want to know what glass you are using. I have tried almost everything but it is too expensive or too hard to find and by the way I only want it to be 24” by 36”. Thank you
Because Silicon is closely related to carbon, is it possible for there to be Silicon based life somewhere in our universe?
This makes me had math slightly less & is super entertaining, although I still get lost in your equations.
imagine if the end of the ghostbusters movie was just all the newyorkers in the city that jumped onto the stay puff man, and just ate him over 1/2 day, like a pack of angry otters XD how it should have ended much?
How many calories are in the stay puft marshmallow man? Well how many calories are in the average Wallmart shopper?
Wouldn't using spheres composits work better for calculations, since his legs are 3 spheres?
Now I want s'mores
That was fast math Kyle! I'm jealous.
+Kelly Megan Well, a lot of calculations are checked beforehand when I write the script!
How long can it take to write a script?
I already knew what the answer was before watching the video. The answer is: it has a lot
Wonder how much in that big Twinkie™...
How about calculating how many calories a Twinkie would have if it was 35 feet long weighting approximately 600 pounds.
ImpetuouslyInsane That’s one big Twinkie.
Shouldn't some parts of him be more dense than others? To keep his structure from collapsing in on itself.
Why does nobody get an accurate model of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, do a Eureka test, and then scale up the mass, accounting for density? There's always an issue with actual mass that nobody seems to get around- be it the computer guy here, MatPat, or Kyle himself.
Best title ever
The Game Theorist have done an episode about this if you guys to check his answer and way to calculate his mass
It must have been cold in the studio that day.
Do you have these equations memorized or do you reference them prior to filming?
+Metallica8589 I know the equation for a volume of a cylinder by heart, but for the results of the calculations I double check all the math when I'm writing the script beforehand.
That's impressive man. I know it's probably a given for a guy who does a science show but I could never remember even the simple formulas used in algebra or geometry.
I would like to know how the genie from alladin works
I came up with 8.8 billion calories. 160 feet tall, 70 feet wide, consider he's pretty round, tuck in the arms consider him a cylinder, he's 615,752 cubic feet. A marshmallow weighs 13.19 pounds per cubic foot, so he weighs 6,100,111 pounds. There are 1442 calories per pound of marshmallow, so that's 8,796,360,062 calories.
My height was based off an image online, you can see 16 stories of building next to the Stay Puft Marshmallow man, so I figure he's taller than the creators say.
+Jesse Crandle So uhh. My math was apparently very fucked, but I was off by about 1 billion calories... oops.
Matpat already did that!
film theory is in my mouth
It would love to know how strong Goku is and how much power her produces
all of it. he produces all of the power.
+stop smoking I figured that but I am curious how much he produces
Screwattack already did their best calculating that.
But factoring in the other ingredients in a marshmallow, wouldn't consuming that much marshmallow also kill you?
Consuming that much of anything would kill you..
How many calories are in the stay puft marshmallow man
Answer
Diabetes
You should have titled it Marshmalloween
my brain hurts
What would happen if you microwaved the marshmallow man
This guy sounds like Cisco raymon from the flash
Great show, can we get more English units and less SI ? haha
