3000m/s is over Mach 8 in the air. So, when he jumps out of the water while swimming at top speed he should create unimaginably huge sonic booms as he breaks the air sound barrier by 8x. That could be an attack or superpower in itself. The pressure waves would be ridiculous.
Good point dude !
But if he moves through air bubbles (supercavitation) when underwater, he would've broken the sound barrier of gaseous phase already there. The millions of bubbles breaking to the surface would indeed cause some noise, and the movement through air might be somewhat loud too, but I don't think even the combination would be equivalent of breaking the sound barrier.
@@pRahvi0 I'm no physicist but while I agree he would already be moving through gas mostly instead of water, the layer of air right above the seawater doesn't "know" that the sound barrier has already been broken in that gas. Its not connected, because of the layer of seawater in between. The sonic boom happens when pressure waves get bunched up in a fluid because they are moving slower than the object making them. Since the air outside of the seawater has not been affected by the cavitation until the moment he arrives, it isn't being bunched up until right when he breaks through the surface and into that air. Going from its normal resting state to 3000m/s worth of bunched up shock waves instantly will still cause a sonic boom in the air, even with the cavitation bubbles preceding him slightly.
I wanna see this now lol
I could be wrong but can’t you only break the sound barrier once Lmao
Fun fact: If Aquaman jumps out of the water at top speed he will go to space. 3km/s is not enough to reach orbit, but a suborbital trajectory to the altitude of couple hundred kilometers is totally possible.
Did you take friction into account ?
How much is the top speed we talking about ?

*Whole lotta gang shit*
At 3 km/s if he were to jump out of the ocean, orbital mechanics would start to be relevant when tracking his trajectory, and he may have to be careful not to leave the atmosphere by accident.
Wow
Escape velocity is 11.2 km/s.
@@naingmonyes, but you will still go 458km above sea level if you exit the surface of the ocean at a 90°angle
PD: Yes, i actually did the math
PD2: Yes, i have no life
@@naingmon but the necessary speed for maintaining stable LEO is about 7.8km/s, so we're getting a little closer... probably suborbital =)
I just enjoyed a lot reading you guys
Because it's bothering me so much:
Trident comes from the Latin so the appropriate multiples of teeth on a spear would be as follows:
5) Quinquedent, not pentadent which uses the Greek
6) Sexadent, not hexadent which is again Greek
7) Septident
8) Octodent
9) Novendent, not nonadent which is Latin but uses the ordinal, which is to say, it's like saying "Ninth tooth" instead of "Nine teeth".
10) Decendent, not decadent which is the Greek again
Although, I suppose if you wanted to go Greek with it and use the Greek "dont" instead of the Latin "dent":
3) Tridont
4) Tetradont
5) Pentadont
6) Hexadont
7) Heptadont
8) Octodont
9) Enneadont
10) Decadont
@@samarnadra Purely for the purpose of that word play, I'll have to let it slide. I still hold that quinquedent is superior to pentadent no matter the existence of such a precedent in English.
But I could turn that around: Decadon't mess with words decendent from mixed parentage.
Someone is on their way to Footnotes...
@@samarnadra I literally just nerdgasm'd upon reading that. Bless your heart, your so very grandiloquent heart.
@@impishDullahan More like "Pentadont correct Thor himself, otherwise you'll get a Hammer thrown into your face"
in the movie, there's an explanation of how the atlantean weapons work, something like "turning water into plasma"
what if atlantean biology allows them to turn water into energy directly by accessing the energy in the molecular bonds (like the the body stores energy in the atp bonds) or dismantling the molecules themselves, extracting the full E=mc^2 out of it?
then it would also explain how in the old comics aquaman had to stay in water often to avoid losing his powers.
That's actually a pretty good point.
cold fussion?
@@sherodderryberry5473 Actually cold fission
Great video, loved it!
A few thoughts:
-A fairer comparison for the energy levels required is nuclear fuels. 1 TW can be provided by the perfect conversion of the fission energy contained in 1.4 kilograms per second of regular Uranium.
-MHD propulsion can explain the ability of Atlanteans to produce a force in water without expelling or pushing against it... but it is terribly inefficient! It requires incredibly strong magnetic fields (dozens of tesla) to reach even moderate speeds.
-Supercavitation as a way to cheat drag is a very neat solution. It reduces the drag forces involved, but you still have to convert the water in front of you into gas. This is done by accelerating water. When a fluid accelerates, Bernoulli principle means that its pressure drops. When it drops enough, it turns into vapour! -If we take 180 km/h as a reasonable minimum speed for supercavitation (pdfs.semanticscholar.org/b982/d0e36d27ec9c6d8ed0fe358cb72fc2ffef5a.pdf ), then the water in front of Aquaman must first be accelerated to that speed. Aquaman's bubble sheath looks like it is about 0.5 meters in radius. Accelerating a cylinder of water 1 meter wide and 3,000 meters long to 180km/h requires 2.94 Gigawatts. This is likely done radially; Aquaman 'splits the sea' in front of him to travel through vapour channel this creates.
-Pushing through the resulting vapour requires a bit more power. The vapour will be at a maximum pressure of 1 kiloPascal or less (a higher pressure than this means the water remains liquid). At the maximum pressure, the vapour has a density of less than 0.01 kg/m^3 (www.engineeringtoolbox.com/water-vapor-saturation-pressure-air-d_689.html ) and the power requirements for pushing through this at 3000m/s are just over 106 MegaWatts.
-Altogether, it seems that roughly 3 GigaWatts are required using the supercavitation method. Further heating and accelerating the steam using something like a ramjet would solve the problem of where the thrust comes from without resorting to the complications of an MHD drive.

I need to roll some dice I think I just took pun damage triple time!
What about the Flash? Would he theoretically be able to swim faster than Aquaman?
Edit: I said _swim._ I know he can run on water like those cute little lizards but I'm interested in the biomechanics of swimming, as if him and Aquaman had a race.
Probably
(Although he could just run over the water)
which he has done many times before
Watch Flash Splash.
Yeah I just wonder how the Speedforce interacts with water and how his biomechanics factors into that kind of movement.
You are talking about physics breaking,faster then sound guy sooooooooooo maybe?
Fun fact. The US and Russia both have supersonic supercavitating torpedoes. I believe that the Russian varianta are actually nuclear tipped, and carry a rather small warhead intended to create a massible bubble under a target ship, and when the bubble expands then immediately collapses, it snaps the ship’s keel, along with any heat and radiation damage it may have incurred.
@Dillon Brunschon the reasoning is because a modern carrier would basically REQUIRE a nuke to sink or kill the whole crew. A battlefleet can also contain enough firepower and manpower to take over a small country alone, so it would be a prime target
If Atlanteans had some sort of control over water, would they not be able to create their own slipstream by 'parting' the water in front of them in a way where it collapses back at their feet, effectively 'squirting' them forward? Not sure if manipulating water is in his power set, as I was never a big DC guy, but I would imagine that, if Atlanteans had some sort of rudimentary powers of water displacement, they could quite easily turn the water density to their own advantage by making a low-pressure pocket or tube right in front of them that sucks them into it like a straw... couldn't they?
Though the movie does show Aquaman performing some feats of water manipulation. So perhaps all Atlantians or just Royals have limited abilities and certain individuals like Mera are significantly more powerful.
Control over water isn't an inherit trait among the Atlanteans, it's when they study Atlantean Sorcery that they develop the ability. However, there are a number of Atlantean Artifacts that provide the ability as well, one of them being Aqualad's Water Bearers. The time that Aquaman had gained Water Manipulation in his power set was when he became the Champion of the Blue Parliament, which gave him control over the oceans across Worlds and Dimensions iirc...he was stupidly powerful at the time.
Exactly. He clearly is NOT swimming. He barely moves his arms and legs. It's basic water bending that most of the sentient ocean races possess in that universe.
William Hull interesting idea. Because Mera has the ability it is very possible it's a natural ability of atlanteans to manipulate water at a rudimentary level and hers is just that same ability pushed to the extreme
Aquaman stopped a rush of water in Justice League.

In some sources, Aquaman has the ability to directly control water. Perhaps he's using hydrokinesis to reduce the water's drag. He could even be using it to have the water carry him along at high speed, like forming a high-speed current.
I was actually going to bring this up as well. If Aquaman can control water, he can move the water ahead of him out of the way creating a vacuum effect(no gas transformation for said water etc.), and have the water behind him compress and push him along through this vacuum which would very little to no drag. As the water comes together again, it may resemble air bubbles.
Alex Martinez damn, I was gonna say that
That's essentially what magnetohydrodynamics does, just with a force that actually exists. "Control Water" is just the layman's term.
This is amazing I'm actually amazed at his speed of mach 2 especially since it's under water this means that Aquaman can technically be classified as a speedster!Yes!!!which Is amazing since most of my fav marvel DV heros are in a way speedsters like Aquaman
He controls the water

How much power does Iron Man's arc reactor generate
As stated in the first movie 3 terawatts a second. Or the amount of energy that New York City goes through in two weeks. EVERY. SECOND.
The one that he built in a cave: 3 gigajoules per second. The one that can actually power his suit for extended periods: they don't say.
Alot
@@matthewmuir8884 The comic book version? They don't say - but judging by the stuff if can do, an absurd amount (like, quadrillions of joules every second or something - in one of his older armours Iron Man blew up a _mountain_ - vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/vsbattles/images/b/b7/Manhattan5.png/revision/latest?cb=20161114192438 - comic book versions are far, far more powerful than their counterparts in other forms of media, 99% of the time).
In the MCU it produces 8 Gigajoules per second, at least at that point in time - static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11133/111331200/6531892-6680011761-65318.jpg
It's not terawatts by the way.
Why doesn't he just open his mouth:
If he moves at 3000 meters per second and has his open mouth, because an open mouth as an area of 1.55*10^-3 m^2 (which i measured by putting a cup in my mouth and measuring it's area),
he would consume about 3000*1.55*10^-3=4.65 m^3 of water every second. This weighs about 4.65*997 = 4636.05 kg and according to E=mc^2, this would be about 4.16*10^20 J.
He would if he had a perfectly efficent mass to energy converter in his body, he would gain 416 000 000 terra watts, wich is way more than neccesary.
Love the show btw.
Edit:
He could also use a fusion reactor:
4636.05 kg of water would contain about 518.77 kg of hydrogen. I was unable to find out how much engergy you could gain from this, but I have to add that if he did produce a lot of helium, he could fart it out al a method op propulsion
Lmao, and thanks to Kyle's previous episode, we know that Aquaman should have kidneys capable of processing salt water properly.
I was wondering how his eyelids weren't getting ripped off.... It seems somewhat trivial now, after reading your comment.
LMFAO I lost it couldn't stop laughing for a solid minute
Until he swallows a rock or something. That would have been a fun end to the movie.

Hi Kyle, I love your shows! I went back and watched the first ten episodes you’ve ever done on the nerdist channel and boy was I I’m surprised! Seeing you with short hair, your monotone voice and very short shows caught me off guard, but it still give enough information to enjoy science! Thank you for doing what you love and educating us in the way of science, have a great day!
Always loved how well Kyle gets these ideas across and in a fun way! Definitely something we try to channel on our show.
Thanks for being an inspiration for people not just to learn about Science, but also to have a go presenting shows and communicating it too!

I grew up watching old school super friends, in those aquaman had the ability to manipulate the water, not just making large waves, but actually forming the water into spherical projectiles, while under water, and then hurling them at high speed to damage black manta... A form of hydrokenesis if you will, However i that ability was removed back in the original infinite earth crisis, and after the new 52 i remember aquaman got it back, though not in the "throwing water bullets arround" level. I always assumed that he was using this hydrokenesis to swim that fast, by manipulating the water behind him to push, and the water ahead of him to get out of the way.
Granted i could just be experiencing a mandella effect here but i want this comment noticed.
"Never again."
I think I chuckled a lot more to that than intended.
Versions of aquaman have been able to manipulate water to move and shape as he wants. As such you could argue he is manipulating the water to create a slipstream current of water to carry along at that speed. But that introduces its own fun problems.
Imagine the disturbances to the surrounding areas if he was creating such a high speed current . Or if he can manipulate water like this why it's not his primary weapon as well. Your episode on Blastoise showed how much damage moving water at high speeds could cause
Yep, the readhead in the movie controls water, maybe the other atlantians can also do this, but not with such control, and can really only use it subconsciously to swim
@Dillon Brunschon She is from Xebel, and they have a history of magic in their kingdom
@Dillon Brunschon There are multiple versions of what Xebel exactly is. But in the New 52, it is a adjacent kingdom to Atlantis, except they have a history in magic, hence why many xebelian people can bend water like Mera. In this movie though, they just wanted to showcase Mera and her abilities.
Ive been watching u for a while but never subscribed cuz I always got suggestions for ur videos, but when I realized u still upload i went to subscribe and noticed ur sub count, u def deserve more than 750k this quality is A1
So if Aquaman has gils for water and lungs for air, how does he breathe in a vapor pocket like this?
Also can't get the image of Aquaman sucking in water and super accelerating out through him on the other side. A literal human water cannon.
Love this. Love all your shit. Keep it up. One of the best YT channels!
Hay Kyle there was a TV show called Bernard's Watch in the UK which was about a boy who had a watch that could stop time. In the show Bernard gave his watch to a friend and told them that if they run in the rain they would drown as the water would collect to fast in front of the face. What do you think would happen if you could stop time and run in the rain. P.s. Love they show keep it up.
rofl that closing line! hahahahaha! The jokes about the Trident gaining prongs were hilarious. Loved them!
I almost gave this a 9/10 because there was no Decadent. But Kyle came through at the very end!
Kyles over here explains all this and I’m just like “just eats a quest bar”
Why is aquaman explaining how he can swim in water so fast?
Why thor explaining how aquaman swim so fast in water
because he knows full well that us puny humans would never acomplish what he does so naturally...it's not bragging it's just simple facts...he's better than us
Excuse me, that’s WaterMan hosting the show. He’s a less pretentious water-powered superhero than “Aqua” Man.

Because Science.
I thought that was Thor
Nice underwater (visual) effects! Bravo to whoever does those on the Because Science team!
I've heard that Dolphins sometimes swim so fast that they create cavitation bubbles and hurt themselves.
So how damn much damage would the shockwave from aquaman do? Because that's safely very, very devastating
@Martin Smouter of course he is.
The real question (& that I also intended to ask) is what kind of damage nearby stuff gets. Imagine him swimming nearby enemies and knocking them all out by cavitation bubbles. Like a snapping shrimp
@Martin Smouter I didn't even think about that. I agree that there should be some reactions happening. If they're really relevant, idk, probably not much. But still interesting
Zamundaaa Also, if he goes really deep and goes top speed, the collapsing bubble of water behind him, should be creating flashes of light.
Dynamite shockwave?
Or maybe more towards nuclear bombs?
Idk
@Martin Smouter Very true but at the kinds of speeds we're talking about here such shockwaves would be much larger and likely more powerful. Add to that how well water transfers motion/energy and I'd venture to say the first time Aquaman swam at max speed past Atlantis the resulting sonic or i guess aqua boom would likely cause massive damage much like a depth charge but at a much higher power. On a side note i can't help but wonder what it would look like under water when the sound barrier is broken along.
13:55 "Supercavitating, aqua... aquapedo." - Kyle, as he realises what he just said. XD
More (or atleast equally) importantly:
How does Aquaman , swimming at super sonic speeds, breathe?
(Can he breathe at a relatively insane speed like that? What about seeing and processing information while moving at super sonic speed? )
While he might still need to capture an air bubble to breathe, the power output needed to keep him alive (a hundred watts) is utterly dwarfed by the power output he's using to swim. If he can divert some of the latter, no need for the former.
He is not a human!
He doesn't process the informations like humans do. His processing senses are faster than a normal human. And according to relativity, the faster he moves the slower the time runs for him.
Rew Rose he has gills in the comics
It wasn't shown in the movie but in the comics, Aquaman can process information several times faster than a peak human. Every comic book character that can move incredibly fast have a faster brain than a regular human. Superman for example, he can think and process information thousands of times (probably more than that) faster than a peak human because he can move almost as fast as the speed of light. Superman can perceive events in less than a nanosecond. The Flash on the other hand is much much faster because... comic books haha Lets just enjoy comic books lol
I remember him more for Ronan in Stargate: Atlantis than Aquaman. Still a great showing on Aquaman even able to wear the orange and green very well.
Hey Kyle I have a question.
How does super stretch actually work?(e.g. Jake from adventure time or Mr. Fantastic)pls answer it!
akshat fendar By stretching realy hard. genius*
@@sarahgey8697 you're not Kyle
akshat fendar I’m not Kyle but i can give you my thoughts on how it could work. So matter can not be created from nothing because of equivalent exchange so we have to find a way of redistributing or gaining mass in order to allow the stretching. So, i propose the idea of softening the bones (perhaps through decalcification) and tissue which would allow them to be stretched. This is similar, though not the same, as Octopus biology as their lack of bones makes them very flexible. This would achieve this imagery of a stretchy hero though one thing to note is that, as we are using existing mass, the further a person stretched the thinner and more vulnerable their limbs or body would be. Also, if the person stretched too far they may end up severely damaging internal organs and tissue. They also would not be able to remain stretched for prolonged periods of time as their heart may be unable to pump blood hard enough to reach the ends of these limbs, eventually causing cell death in the stretched limb due to a lack of oxygen.
I would think super-density would also be their superpower. That way, really stretched out, they would be the density of a regular human.
Doctor Cthulhu their overall density wouldn’t change though if using my method of a stretching power, my way their mass is just changing shape
Every time and in each video when Kyle says magic, i get the feeling he doesn't approve of that term, but folks, always remember what Arthur C. Clarke said: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”. If we go back in time to the middle centuries with a cell phone and a projector, being able to film and then play on a big wall something that happened earlier in the day, would pure magic for the people of that time. This theme comes along once more with Kyle's big brother - Thor: “Your ancestors called it magic, but you call it science. I come from a land where they are one and the same.”. So really *magic = science*.
Does the calculation for Aquaman's marine life genocide include how many fish he would kill by going supersonic? Just knocking on a fish tank can harm small fish. How much more so for a supersonic Aquaman. Also, his ability to not hit fish in his path would go down as his velocity increased. If he went supersonic enough, could he also increase the rate of global warming by doing super-cavitation? Changing that much water into vapor long enough would have to eventually have some environmental effects.
In Marvel, Atlanteans have demonstrated the ability to produce and project electricity because of Electric Eel like organs. Electromagnetic fields would explain his ability to operate equally well under deep sea and surface pressure. Some kind of naturally occurring forcefield that regulates pressure, boosts his strength and durability as well powers his amazing swim velocity. His status as a half human mutant could be why his field is so much stronger than the other residents of Atlantis and one of the most most powerful beings on the planet.
Hear me out. It is shown that Aquaman is stronger in water, aka he gains strength from water. Now, is it possible that he uses water as a power source? Could his body able to harness the energy from the elements in the water, mainly hydrogen, like some kind of controlled, ever-exploding H-bomb? I would like to see the numbers, as in how much of water is necessary to keep up with the energy demand, if this was the case.
PS: This theory has some legs to stand on, since we never see him move at those speeds when he is on dry land.
I think you're absolutely right. As I said in my own comment, I think Aquaman draws power from the water itself. He can't fly like Superman or run super-fast like the Flash. He can hit high speed only in water.
My bro, you have made my day with the "Hexadent Me!", and so on. You sir are great!
How can black mantua helmet shoot energy beams the second time without over heating?
I like to imagine aquaman blowing bubbles from his mouth, like a toddler, being the cause of the gas bubble surrounding him resulting in his supercavitation.
They said that discovered a generator capable of infinite energy 2000-3000 years ago. They could already perfect that to provide energy directly to their propulsion cell system...
"Super Cavitating Aqua Pedo" sounds like something that has to register with local law enforcement.
So basically Sonic is Aquaman's daddy

I have been wondering wheter the existence of this guy causing the producers in holywood to start hiring science professors in order to make their film seems to be more scientific even though it should be magic
Btw as always, good video, i cant get bored watching all the episodes hahaha
Clarke's third law.
Hollywood has been hiring science advisors for decades and then ignoring them. Most people ignore scientists and they have to get government grants to pay for research. At least Hollywood is paying the scientist for being ignored.
And many of the films that have a lot of good science like The Martian aren't Hollywood's doing. The Martian featured good science because it was based on a book, whose author spent ages researching and getting advice from scientists.
I love how Thor from Marvel questioning DC heroes

'supercavitating aqua-pedo...?'
sounds like someone who can get out on the sex offender list at a kids pool in under a second. lmao!
Considering Aquaman is a blonde white dude in the comics Kyle is actually a comics accurate looking Aquaman... I can totally see you rocking the orange suit better that Mamoa.
With that super cavitation, maybe aquaman, just breathes out really fast, and getting his oxygen from another source.
salt water is a super conductor which means he can draw electricity in and from the water, also what if Atlanteans warp water around them and push them forward reducing the power requirement
No, salt water is just a regular conductor, there's nothing super about it's conductivity.
Hey Kyle, three things:
1) Your thumbnail for this video looks like you are doing that "Baby Shark" song
2) I'm surprised you didn't so a play on the Mary Poppins' song when you said "Supercavitatng underwater torpedo"
3) I just binge watched Mythbusters Search and noticed there was this guy hosting that looks a lot like you. But that couldn't be, right, unless you weren't always in the Void.
One question. Would Aquaman traveling at such speeds bring death to all marine live where he passed trough, basically for the same reason that planes are required to move slower than the speed of sound near populated areas as they could rupture eardrums and break glass. and fish are really sensitive to shock waves as water doesn't compress as well as air. like how shooting a bullet in a barrel full of fish will kill them all due to the pressure exerted (src- mythbusters)
Water is not compressible
I think you should mention that generally, under certain conditions, sound travels about 4 times faster underwater than in the air. Meaning, 1435 m/s underwater vs 340 m/s in the air. So, a bit over mach 2 underwater but over mach 8 in the air.
When is MuskWatch coming back? Also great video!

Watching Musk has probably become too painful.
"is he really SWIMMING though? I thought he's just rocketing through the ocean. he's basically flying under water." - Zack Snyder, 2020
What if Aquaman can somehow use the ocean's extremely high pressure as a source of energy? Can the gravitational force of the Earth in large quantities of water be transformed into energy by Atlantic physiology in some unknown way? I know little about energy transformation but maybe it's something to think about.

You are great and wonderfully fun to watch and learn from THANKS Kyle from one Hill to another Hill
Nope. The first underwater rocket-torpedo(Shkval), that uses copressed air to envelope itself for great speed, was created in 1977 in USSR and goes at 370 km\hr. The modern variant goes at about 1km\s.
He just goes!!😂😂
I'm sure you'll probably cover this but incase not, wouldn't supersonic speeds underwater still create a sonic boom, if not louder from the pressure of the water increasing the speed of the implosion.
Imagine all the poor dolphins and whales who have super sensitive hearing.
RIP our aqua mammalian brothers... :(
Aquaman the mass whale and dolphin killer
Whales and dolphins don't have supper sensitive hearing. Toothed whales, dolphins, and porposes, have an organ called a mellon. It dosent hear the sound waves so much as feel them, but yeah that would still be pretty rough and probably would rupture fishes swimbladers as well. Owww.
The entire video I was anxiously waiting for you to say the word decatent
To improve his swimming he would need double jointed limbs as unlike us land animals Whales and Fish have the ability to bend their spines in equal distance in two directions unlike our single motion legs.
i can bend my own spine in many unusual directions as long as i don't mind being a crumpled heap on the ground and not being able to bend back
That's a hell of a cursed image, a backwards-bent-spine-and-legs momoa
The energy that he get is not from seafood but from sea itself but still love your work

I imagine he uses a magic variant of the "Warp Drive IRL" formulation. water pulls apart ahead of him, and rushes in behind him in a directional super-cavitation event like a Mantis Shrimp Punch creates, but with cause and effect reversed.
He simply rides the wave of inrushing water, being accelerated by it to super-sonic speeds, and without creating a super-wake because he's not pushing the water out of the way, the water is pulling him into the way.
Ok, you need it to be calories what if his cells convert water to energy? It could be like photosynthesis but instead of light but water is the medium.
I love how excited he gets about supercavitation -hilarious
What if his body converts pressure into energy?
He would swim faster the deeper he was so he would stay as low as possible to get somewhere
Ludicrous Speed love the reference, comic book logic is just awesome sometimes
Could his DNA be mutated by the power source that sunk and powers their city?
#Metahuman
That was explicitly stated I. The DCEU movie. I don't know if they ever delved into it in the comics.
"how they swim so e-FISH-antly?"
Kyle, Atlantean civilization is so decadent... Moreso than that 10 pronged spear in your video, lol. This is why they have super-high caloric meals... lol. Although with the concept of unexplained biology or magic, perhaps it may make sense if Aquaman could actually perform nuclear fission or fusion. If you make the assumption that this is what was happening, (using pure deuterium fusion, into helium, which produces 1 *10^12 J of energy, or 275 million kcal per gram of deuterium) then you get some interesting numbers. First if this was what was happening, the first question is how much deuterium is there in the ocean? Well the best estimate I could find would be 0.0312% of the ocean's mass, which is on the order of 1.4 × 1018 tonnes, you'd get a value of over 43 quintillion tonnes of deuterium, which would seem to be sufficient to support a population of an undersea city for quite some time. Plus, if they're using the same kind of magnetohydrodynamic drive, then this would ALSO make sense, as the Atlantean biology would be supporting something like a tokamak nuclear reactor, and also provide enough heat-energy to keep up their internal temperature even far down in to oceanic depths. Plus if they're extracting the hydrogen from the water around them in order to extract the deuterium, then they'd have lots of extra oxygen left-over to provide super-cavitation gasses, as well as support their regular biological processes. The only big issue is that at these rates, the 1 TW of energy that you were talking about would mean they'd be burning (fusing) about 1 gram of deuterium every second... So, that's a problem, lol.
This channel deserves over a million subs. You're the best Kyle!
Thor Odinson
before watching the video. it has been theorized that if a missile or an entire submarine was encased in an air bubble. or at least the nose, it can travel at similar velocities under water when compared to regular air.
yup. i was right
Makes sense, Auqa man is much stronger than superman when you factor this in.
Hey Kyle! You're awesome. I was wondering if you could do a video on Aquaman's "water shield" ability? How fast would he have to be spinning his trident to actually make it work if at all? Love your videos. Keep being awesome!
Mentions Magnetohydrodynamic drives, but no mention of Red October.....disappointed.
I have a terrible Scottish impression -- kH
@@becausescience how's your Russian singing voice? 🤣
Hexident me! 😂😂😂 you sir are a gift to nerds everywhere!
how do the Atlantean take a dump or urinate underwater? do their fecal matter float while they relief themselves? help me Mr. Hill
suction toilet
Man, if only learning could be this interesting when I was in school.
How powerful is Ant Man and Wasp because of the quantum realm
You are the brain child of Aqua Man and Thor, that’s the most fitting description
Aquamam doesn’t talk to fish ffs... he give telepathic suggestion to the fish . Gawd learn the history of the character
5:46 is me when I go for a swim lol
what are the similarities between a ten pronged trident and jason momoa's abs ....they're both decadent....I'm sorry
Or as it was vaguely described in a few issues, he doesnt propel himself, the ocean itself pulls him into a current that accelerates him like a fast lane. He is after all the king of the ocean
He once said something like he talks to the water and not the fish.
This could suggest that he has some sort of understanding/collaboration/control of the water around him.
Therefore, perhaps, he is able to control the way the water flows around him which then enables him to somehow propel himself to such speeds.
Supercavitating Aquapedo, LMAO
To answer: flash will still move underwater faster than aqua. He can vibrate through solid wall, he can use the same technique to run through water without needing to worry about density/drag
He's got a super lasting farting power that pushes him through water.
