Ralph Dizon He’s been using superheroes in his lectures for decades and wrote books about them and comic book authors have consulted him. He’s a true fan.
It's funny tho because he has such a hard time seeing stationnary things, colors and other stuff like that so it makes sense that he wouldnt be able to see himself if he were to be perfectly immobile.
You're not even close to wrong. It's a little weird to explain, but there are plenty of little moments and details that he references or brings up that most experts who don't really love Marvel, or just sorta watch the odd one when it comes out, wouldn't pick up on, or forget, or whatever. It's something that irks me, as a super-attentive moviegoer, when I watch some of these 'experts break down' videos. This guy? Not even once. Every time I thought to myself, 'ugh, of course he's not gonna bring up that', he freaking next thing he said was addressing it.
Scott Lang, "Do you just put the word 'quantum' infront of everything?" Real life scientist, "Yes. Yes, we do." That was genuinely what I waited for Fishburn or Douglas to say. I was sad they didn't.
I can almost see Fishburnes' eyebrows slightly raised as if a bit surprised by the question, as he nods his head and says "yes", then turning to Douglas, who's also nodding(with a shrug and no eye contact). Definitely a missed opportunity....on a quantum level.
I love how this physicist talks with 100% accuracy on both physics theories and MCU lore. He does a better job of getting these details right than most RUclips “critics.”
@@King-Squid-99 "Not really" ? I'm an engineering major and trust me, he really dumbed it down to make it easier for the audience. Take any serious physics book and try to understand the phenomena he explained from it and you'll see why I wrote that.
I'll be honest, I would happily watch videos of him reacting to movies. You can tell that he loves movies (especially Marvel movies), he's a great teacher and I can tell he would have a blast explaining it all.
@@FlaminChicken231 I guess you are forgetting the part where he has spiders tensile strength which let's him fight big villans so easily and throw a punch so hard
In reality he just would have pulled a bunch of bricks out of the buildings and the train would have lost almost no velocity. That's always the problem with superheroes. Hulk can grab two continents and smash them together? Why not just two handfulls of rock or dirt. Superman (DC) can stop crashing planes/rockets/etc by grabbing them without just punching a hole in them?

I actually read his book years ago. I used it to get one of my co-workers into physics who didn't happen to be much of a reader and even he said he was super intrigued.

I think they actually do refer to it as a vibranium sand table or something similar at some point in the movie.

@@reptilesceptile1035 Yes, but it is being used in reality and reality is bound by the laws of physics. And these laws imply that there are consequences. One can still question the magic as in what kind of direct and indirect effects it has on reality. For example, using Avada Kedavra spell in Harry Potter universe kills someone. You need not question how it does that (magic), but you can ask exactly what part of the body it effects to kill the person. Like, does it stop the neurological function, the heart, or something else? There can be a lot of questions to be asked like this despite the nature of magic, but I hope that conveys my point.
You seldom see this combination in a person but it definitely makes sense. To analyze superheroes movies as how they relate to realistic science I think would end up a pyrrhic victory but I feel he directed his focus to the wins even when they proved totally fictional giving rooms for lots of "COULD" and "IMPROBABILITY". Overall, I like his enthusiasms and truthfulness, the glow in his eyes are something to take away. And how he analyses concept that you wouldn't even pay attention to like Loki's attempt on Thanos's life linking it back to the use of the tessaract in the first avenger is superb. It tells me, Man knows his onions.
Actually there's a braking mechanism in every elevator, and ever since its invention no one had ever died of falling elevator,so you could now perform the trick with no fear :)))
This professor is GREAT. Smart, informative, and with a sense of humor!! I've always been interested in physics and quantum mechanics, but my math skills SUCK. If I had a teacher that could have made it this interesting I might have become an engineer!!! GREAT guest!!!
I love how much this man loves comics. It hurts my heart when experts sneer at fiction or are overly cynical (we get it, we know it's fantasy too). But the fact he's a renowned physicist and a huge nerdy fan is Grade A in my book!
Yup, he's pure awesomeness personified! I wouldn't bunk so many physics classes in college if he was my professor, that's for sure! I'm pretty sure he makes physics lectures pretty entertaining...
@@TheAgentOfDeath Marvel is mainstream NOW, when this guy was reading comics, it was still, "shove into lockers" material. Also they're still nerdy, it's just that being a nerd is mainstream now. Regular people finally figuring out something is cool doesn't make it less nerdy.
He's cool, I was lucky to hear 2 of his lectures live when my Uni invited him for science/film festival. He actually uses comic book heroes to teach his own students IRL.
Thats cause all he did was talk about it, if he started bringing in the math, equations, and assumptions that physicists often require, it would probably be several lectures long
yeah he must be a real fan because he was really generous, like in ant man, the fact that it shrinks without altering the mass or that he ahrinks below an atom's sizedeserves a 1, and the 3 nuclear power plants are no better than a 3, being realistic, only spiderman and the last one go avobe 5 but hey, im biased because ive never seen any of these movies, the plot may be fantastic, but not the physics
Alejandro Zarzuelo i mean it is from comics tho and the original source material is really unrealistic but they try to add explainations for the movies so i do appreciate them doing that
Well, the glass of water standing on a table could spontaneously start boiling. That is possible. Physics allows that. Though probability of that event is so small, it is considered impossible. Pretty much same thing goes about pseudoscience they put into comic books. Something with a similar name is possible. But absolutely not what is shown in the cartoon. So despite "that could happen", no, it is not realistic.
Well, if you think about it, there is an infinite number of planets in the universe. A raccoon like intelligent alien could have evolved somewhere. So, at this very moment, in a distant planet or even galaxy, there is a talking raccoon.
Damn, I always deduced that Carol Denvers was just a very well preserved 50 year old, consequence of her powers maybe, but this time dilation explanation makes perfect sense.
@Looney Mar It's one of those universes where there's a bunch of science that doesn't exist in real life, but for the science that does, it works analogously to real life.
You can tell he's super giddy to be talking about his favorite subject for the internet. What an incredible amount of passion for the comic book heroes!
Dude, bring Jim back for everything. I'm talking podcasts, short stuff like this, commentaries, the works. I'd probably buy a shirt that just has the phrase "Quantum Mumbo Jumbo" and Jim's face on it.
You had better give him a break or he might pull some mystic prank on you. Like having the elevator car you're in break out of the shaft and start zooming around through downtown traffic without your control upon it.
@SennaFan Wow. Who hurt you, baby boy? And judging by your grammar you didn't make it through middle school, so I'm not sure you should be the one talking.
@SennaFan Because you don't have the foresight to proofread, yet you have the nerve to randomly loose your premature "mommy didn't love me enough" anger on total strangers who were having a pleasant conversation about a joke? Because you actually tried to insinuate you're more intelligent than someone else you've never met and couldn't spell your words right or form a complete sentence? As if your attitude means we should bow down to your delusions. Ha. Sorry dude, but I didn't change anything. Nobody won here. You came into this thread a loser already, as evident by your hostility. Your insults were baseless because neither you nor I have the potential nor need to prove them, so there's no need to give them any merit. Bye.

funny.. that's the first thing that stood out for me when I watched Evangelion. Mech suits that actually have to drag cables behind them that destroy stuff in their wake!
I wish that all teachers/professors could be like this gentleman. How much easier would be to learn under tutelage of a person like this! Especially for students struggling with a particular subject.
ZoroVerse This is a physicists. A man who has put in time and research to get to where he is. He has studied the laws of newton and beyond, and you are saying that a stupid youtuber who makes dumb theories is right and the physicist is wrong? Ok buddy.
Of the Insider rating film scenes, this is definitely a favorite of mine. I taught physics to gifted students, so it's a subject close to my heart, and brain. It helps that this gentleman happens to be brilliant, with a wonderful, warm sense of humor. I've got to add his book about the physics of superhero movies to my reading list! Big thumbs up!!!!
Shushu Shushu yes. The Army has already been experimenting with this but due to the lack of sufficient batteries needed were closer to the loader from Aliens than Ironman
The guys from Mythbusters took a shot at creating an IronMan-like suit that flew. Obviously not based on any of the sci-fi science Stark used. But at least a step in the right direction.
It is possible but not entirely possible.. like he said, power supply. Arc reactor = Three power plant. Not to mention it is human size.. I think it is easier to create a Pacific Rim Jaeger (or a big robot.) than an Ironman suit hahahaha.
Ever hear of a straw! But seriously brilliant question. You could argue that 'theoretically', and of course its ALL 'theoretical', the suit he wears is enclosed, which would contain oxygen, moreover, since his lungs were shrunk, then the 'suit' could alter the amount of oxygen to vary with the size of the lungs, meaning a small amount could last for years. Mind you, thats 'theoretical'.
@@mikearchibald744 No, you just don't get it. It's not about the amount, it's the size. You can't breathe in oxygen if the oxygen molecules are bigger than yourself.
It's a weird feeling when a physics professor tells you that sure, cybernetic helmet, no problem. Beyond that; this video is adorable. You can tell he's both a physics and a Marvel fan: he doesn't try to find "hey, that'll never work stuff", but to find a way to explain how something might work. Which is exactly how invention works: looking at an impossible idea and going, "well, for that to be _possible_ , you would need ..."

I've been studying quantum mechanics as a hobbie since 2014 when I was 14 years old. it ALWAYS bothers me that I try to explain the physics behind some movies and my friends go "but the talking racoon is fine??" and I'm like CMON FORGET THE RACOON Loved this man forgetting the racoon and focusing on the gravity on and off Thank you I'm gonna buy that book btw
Yeah, have you seen there are actual guys building his suit and helmet. His movement when he first created the iron man suit and was trying to pilot it are also very accurate in that regard.
This is awesome! Finally an explanation about the physics in super hero movies/comics that is fun to watch and actually makes us learn a lot about physics itself!!
he kind of did when he explained quantum entanglement and atomic scale. they don't travel through time they travel through the multiverse where in theory all time would exist simultaneously. they never affected the main timeline it already happened is happening will happen etc. even Steve is dealt with perfectly he already knows how it ends changing anything would mess with the timeline so he just observes mostly the whole thing with Peggy always happens so it doesn't mess with the overall timeline.
I love the fact that He's so happy talking about the Marvel movies, I love his enthusiasm. We need him in a MCU movie, I know this would be a dream of his considering that he has seen each and every comic movie and read comic books.
I think I recall reading his book or a variation of it. What always stood out to me from the book I read was the note that speedsters like Flash and Quicksilver would need to be nearly indestructible or wrap themselves in some sort of force field when moving or the dust particulates in the air would hit with enough force when they ran to rip them apart.
Any physicist could have been shown scenes and then be asked to discuss them from a scientific standpoint. However, I think we all agree this guy genuinely knows his Marvel movies and characters. It was great to watch such a well rounded guy give this lecture.

For example, using Avada Kedavra spell in Harry Potter universe kills someone. You need not question how it does that (magic), but you can ask exactly what part of the body it effects to kill the person. Like, does it stop the neurological function, the heart, or something else?
There can be a lot of questions to be asked like this despite the nature of magic, but I hope that conveys my point.
"Your friendly neighborhood phisyc professor" and " face front, true believers" almost made me tear a bit.
Yea he is the best professor ever,wish he had more subs too
Just needed an "Excellsior!" in there.
I like how he is not a random guy but he actually likes the movies 😂
how is he "not a random guy". He certainly is to you and me, no?
He means he is not any old physicist but one that rlly likes marvel
He had to enjoy these movies, or else he wouldn’t let himself watch them.
Actually likes movies? As in its unusual to like movies?
@@Kakyyoin he also knows a lot about the comics ...so yeah he is not random
You seldom see this combination in a person but it definitely makes sense. To analyze superheroes movies as how they relate to realistic science I think would end up a pyrrhic victory but I feel he directed his focus to the wins even when they proved totally fictional giving rooms for lots of "COULD" and "IMPROBABILITY".
Overall, I like his enthusiasms and truthfulness, the glow in his eyes are something to take away. And how he analyses concept that you wouldn't even pay attention to like Loki's attempt on Thanos's life linking it back to the use of the tessaract in the first avenger is superb. It tells me, Man knows his onions.

"Friendly neighborhood physics professor" lol I love him! He's really a fan
Shout out to our real Spidey homie TOBEY MACGUIRE
Use shaders in Minecraft!!!!!😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😃😃😃😃😃😃
He is being honest thts all not a fan though
this man should break down the physics behind bollywood movies
😂
🤣🤣🤣 Yes
Do you wanna give a heart attack to this really sweet man???
It is already broken my great bollywood movie creators.🤣🤣...they are far ahead
😭😂😂😂🤣🤣
This professor is GREAT. Smart, informative, and with a sense of humor!! I've always been interested in physics and quantum mechanics, but my math skills SUCK. If I had a teacher that could have made it this interesting I might have become an engineer!!! GREAT guest!!!
I love how much this man loves comics. It hurts my heart when experts sneer at fiction or are overly cynical (we get it, we know it's fantasy too). But the fact he's a renowned physicist and a huge nerdy fan is Grade A in my book!
Yup, he's pure awesomeness personified! I wouldn't bunk so many physics classes in college if he was my professor, that's for sure! I'm pretty sure he makes physics lectures pretty entertaining...
I’ve actually taken his class many many years ago! He’s a delight!
I wouldn't consider marvel movies nerdy as they are very mainstream.
@@TheAgentOfDeath He mentioned he read comics as a kid though. That was considered nerdy then and probably is now.
@@TheAgentOfDeath Marvel is mainstream NOW, when this guy was reading comics, it was still, "shove into lockers" material. Also they're still nerdy, it's just that being a nerd is mainstream now. Regular people finally figuring out something is cool doesn't make it less nerdy.
I really liked this video, and the way he explained everything, made it look like it's easy to understand lol. Good job Insider, it was interesting.
So true!
I like how he explained the hologram combined with sounds to produce something tangible.
Gan la Deng it too me a while but I noticed he is wearing a fantastic four tie if you look closely
@@BreezyBulldog Man isn't joking when he said he's a big comic book fan.
He's cool, I was lucky to hear 2 of his lectures live when my Uni invited him for science/film festival. He actually uses comic book heroes to teach his own students IRL.
I never had so much fun listening to someone talk about physics
Your profile picture matches your comment.
you've had bad physics teachers then😶
Physics is fun if you understand it. U cant blame anything for the lack of knowledge u have for it
@@rollxrsmash3591 any subject can be fun if the teacher makes it fun.
And you can blame the lack of knowledge for boredom.
Thats cause all he did was talk about it, if he started bringing in the math, equations, and assumptions that physicists often require, it would probably be several lectures long
I would be much delighted if they can manage to find a magician to breakdown Dr Strange's movie
He looked so proud after his 'Shuri' pun 😭😩
lol
What was the pun?
@@lynxb8300 "Someone Shuri-ly will"
He was trying so hard not to laugh.
He “Shuri-ly” did
So according to him, the MCU is more realistic than I imagined it to be. This is kind of a first.
yeah he must be a real fan because he was really generous, like in ant man, the fact that it shrinks without altering the mass or that he ahrinks below an atom's sizedeserves a 1, and the 3 nuclear power plants are no better than a 3, being realistic, only spiderman and the last one go avobe 5
but hey, im biased because ive never seen any of these movies, the plot may be fantastic, but not the physics
Alejandro Zarzuelo i mean it is from comics tho and the original source material is really unrealistic but they try to add explainations for the movies so i do appreciate them doing that
He only analyzed a few things. He gave most of them low scores. And overall, he was extremely generous.
Lol , no its not
@@Azknowledgethirsty how'd u come here?
Wow...this dude is a marvel fan. He got the names and the continuity right.
Oh snap...i just noticed his tie👍🏽
noticed when you told! Thx manh
"Oh snap", u sound like Thanos rn
Did you really not notice the very beginning where he mentioned literally writing a physics book on superheroes?..........
Quentin Johnson I just noticed it when I read your comment 😅😂
He may be the real life Leonard Hoffstader(idk if I got the name right)
i love how he is very well versed in both physics and Marvel, and could also explain how real the clips from the movies are
Me: "That's unrealistic."
Jim Kakalios: "That could happen."
Me: "That could happen. Only a moron would think otherwise."
Me
Well, the glass of water standing on a table could spontaneously start boiling.
That is possible. Physics allows that. Though probability of that event is so small, it is considered impossible.
Pretty much same thing goes about pseudoscience they put into comic books. Something with a similar name is possible. But absolutely not what is shown in the cartoon.
So despite "that could happen", no, it is not realistic.
Is he really a comic book nerd as well? He has to be the best professor ever.
Actually, most scientists are massive nerds.
@@sophiejones7727 And that's good.
@@voldy3565 yes it is :) mostly.
Maybe only for the science? To study how the comics use physics😂
Judging by how he said he oftenly see that 'spiderman-grunting-stopping-the-train-face' in class, his students probably don't agree.
Artificial Gravity = questionable
Talking Raccoon = believable
I love this guy
XD
Well the “genetic and cybernetics enhancements” that made him could be possible giving enough research
genetic engineering is farther along that gravity physics
Genetically engineered catgirls are real.
@@apolloniuspergus9295 Elon Musk is trully Tony Stark of our worldline but with catgirls instead of AI controlled suits.
Well, if you think about it, there is an infinite number of planets in the universe. A raccoon like intelligent alien could have evolved somewhere. So, at this very moment, in a distant planet or even galaxy, there is a talking raccoon.
Damn, I always deduced that Carol Denvers was just a very well preserved 50 year old, consequence of her powers maybe, but this time dilation explanation makes perfect sense.
What I expected: "The MCU is wrong because X, Y, Z."
What I got: "It's not too far off really."
well, most examples except for the one of Dr. Strange were not too fancy or far from science...
@@Leotique far from logic tho
@Looney Mar It's one of those universes where there's a bunch of science that doesn't exist in real life, but for the science that does, it works analogously to real life.

*a heart attack

You can tell he's super giddy to be talking about his favorite subject for the internet.
What an incredible amount of passion for the comic book heroes!
i like the way he explains it, like it’s less of big words he tries to put it in the simplest form
Dude, bring Jim back for everything. I'm talking podcasts, short stuff like this, commentaries, the works. I'd probably buy a shirt that just has the phrase "Quantum Mumbo Jumbo" and Jim's face on it.

Professor: He's the master of the mystic arts, so I'll give him a break.
Also Professor: **3/10**
Yeah, he definitely teaches at a college.
lolllll
otherwise he would have given 0 or 1 points :P
You had better give him a break or he might pull some mystic prank on you. Like having the elevator car you're in break out of the shaft and start zooming around through downtown traffic without your control upon it.
@SennaFan Wow. Who hurt you, baby boy?
And judging by your grammar you didn't make it through middle school, so I'm not sure you should be the one talking.
@SennaFan Because you don't have the foresight to proofread, yet you have the nerve to randomly loose your premature "mommy didn't love me enough" anger on total strangers who were having a pleasant conversation about a joke?
Because you actually tried to insinuate you're more intelligent than someone else you've never met and couldn't spell your words right or form a complete sentence?
As if your attitude means we should bow down to your delusions. Ha.
Sorry dude, but I didn't change anything. Nobody won here. You came into this thread a loser already, as evident by your hostility. Your insults were baseless because neither you nor I have the potential nor need to prove them, so there's no need to give them any merit.
Bye.
"I dont know if I can do this but someone shuri can"! I see what you did there, well done! I really like this guy. He has that tipical aura of cultivated/well educated people, a big Marvel nerd and obviously a great teacher. Looking forward for more fun stuff.

This is a physicists. A man who has put in time and research to get to where he is. He has studied the laws of newton and beyond, and you are saying that a stupid youtuber who makes dumb theories is right and the physicist is wrong? Ok buddy.
@Reto Ware either of them can be right or wrong. It's all about making sense out their theories. Still most of it is based fictional science.
Of the Insider rating film scenes, this is definitely a favorite of mine. I taught physics to gifted students, so it's a subject close to my heart, and brain. It helps that this gentleman happens to be brilliant, with a wonderful, warm sense of humor. I've got to add his book about the physics of superhero movies to my reading list!
Big thumbs up!!!!
Are you telling me that Iron Man is possible we just havent invested in batteries
Two answer-
-Yes
-Maybe
Shushu Shushu yes. The Army has already been experimenting with this but due to the lack of sufficient batteries needed were closer to the loader from Aliens than Ironman
The guys from Mythbusters took a shot at creating an IronMan-like suit that flew. Obviously not based on any of the sci-fi science Stark used. But at least a step in the right direction.
A fast flying machine that can launch rockets? We already have jet fighters.
It is possible but not entirely possible.. like he said, power supply. Arc reactor = Three power plant. Not to mention it is human size.. I think it is easier to create a Pacific Rim Jaeger (or a big robot.) than an Ironman suit hahahaha.
i want stones
nope. its everybody.
So do neutrons ;)
Thanos yea you can see he likes these movies
“In a cave... with scraps...!” You could tell he was so proud of that one lmao

The question is how does ant man still breathing if he is smaller than the atom and oxygen
What is he even made of at that point lol
Ever hear of a straw! But seriously brilliant question. You could argue that 'theoretically', and of course its ALL 'theoretical', the suit he wears is enclosed, which would contain oxygen, moreover, since his lungs were shrunk, then the 'suit' could alter the amount of oxygen to vary with the size of the lungs, meaning a small amount could last for years. Mind you, thats 'theoretical'.
@@mikearchibald744 No, you just don't get it. It's not about the amount, it's the size. You can't breathe in oxygen if the oxygen molecules are bigger than yourself.
@@EarthIsFlat456 The oxygen molecules in his suit will also shrink to the appropriate size so he can breathe
@@EarthIsFlat456 LOL, yeah, I DO get it, thats why I said oxygen molecules are shrunk as well inside the suit.

It's a weird feeling when a physics professor tells you that sure, cybernetic helmet, no problem.
Beyond that; this video is adorable.
You can tell he's both a physics and a Marvel fan: he doesn't try to find "hey, that'll never work stuff", but to find a way to explain how something might work.
Which is exactly how invention works: looking at an impossible idea and going, "well, for that to be _possible_ , you would need ..."
You know hes a real fan when he pulls out "in a cave with a bunch of scraps"
I was kinda getting that vibe already from his Fantastic tie.

I've been studying quantum mechanics as a hobbie since 2014 when I was 14 years old. it ALWAYS bothers me that I try to explain the physics behind some movies and my friends go "but the talking racoon is fine??" and I'm like CMON FORGET THE RACOON
Loved this man forgetting the racoon and focusing on the gravity on and off
Thank you
I'm gonna buy that book btw
To me it seemed that he found a talking racoon more plausible that artificial gravity. Which kind of says alot.

We NEED a video of him talking about the time travel in Endgame
Ya Cos That Was All A Bunch Of Bullshit...😂
he kind of did when he explained quantum entanglement and atomic scale. they don't travel through time they travel through the multiverse where in theory all time would exist simultaneously. they never affected the main timeline it already happened is happening will happen etc. even Steve is dealt with perfectly he already knows how it ends changing anything would mess with the timeline so he just observes mostly the whole thing with Peggy always happens so it doesn't mess with the overall timeline.
Yes
