    The most frustrating thing about Flash, Superman and other ultra powerful DC superheros is that they establish extraordinary feats they can accomplish with their powers then later (sometimes in the same issue) a bad guy sticks out his arm and Flash clotheslines himself or a relatively low power meta punches Superman and he gets knocked flying and he is shown to feel both pain and effects from that punch.
    The power scales are so consistently inconsistent either we have to assume the writers are hacks because they can't write an internally consistent story or they are hacks because they don't understand science or scale and just make it up as they go along, i.e. "Geordi, whip up some technobabble about the polarity/frequency of tachyons and deus ex machina our way out of this weeks mess!"

    Here's a theory, I know you have been doing a large amount of flash videos, but here is another.
    What is the Flash's suit (and kid flash, and zoom, and reverse flash, and rival) made from. It is stated that it is frictionless, heatproof, and other things.
    It would be awesome if you could try to find a real life equal to this material.

      If there WAS a frictionless material that doesn't need energy to function, we could produce so much electrical power that no one on earth would ever again have experience hunger, poverty, or work till the end of eternity.

    The next Flash topic should be on how the Flash can travel faster than teleportation across the entire universe in The Human Race.

    • @ghostface0927
      @ghostface0927 6 лет назад +10

      GuyWithAnAmazingHat that is accurate in the comics and very cool. But impossible according to our understanding of science. The speed of light is the max speed for everything. Including information. Assuming that teleportation works by sending your genetic code to a location at the fastest speed possible. The flash would at best tie with it. Also teleportation wouldn't be instantaneous due to its speed limit, it would take 8 minutes to teleport to the sun. It would also take 4 hours and 29 minutes to travel across the solar system end to end. I know it depressing but you know why? BECAUSE SCIENCE

    • @haloelite439
      @haloelite439 6 лет назад +16

      Gilbert Ortega the speed force is like a fundamental force of the dc universe and seems to go off of something similar to quantum mechanics, imparting on those who make use of it similar properties. Therefore the flash, or any sufficiently skilled speedster, is able to bend and break the laws of reality as we know them.

    • @ghostface0927
      @ghostface0927 6 лет назад +2

      TheMemester439 yeah because the speed force is a force that bends the laws of physics the flash could beat teleportation. But teleportation in dc comics doesn't utilize the speed force, to my knowledge. So teleportation would still work as i described it and would take 4 hours a 29 minutes to go threw the solar system. So the flash would beat it in a land slide. Unless they teleport using wormholes. Then that brings up a bunch of other problems.

      There is 4 main Flash's tops so far
      There is
      Jay Garrick: Original Flash from the Golden Age of comics
      Barry Allen: Most popular and well know Flash: Main Stream comic: He got his power in a lightning storm accident.
      Wally west: Barry Allen's love interest, Iris Wests nephew who wanted to be like the flash so he replicated Barry's accident which gave him his powers. Also know as Kid Flash. When Barry Allen died Wally west took up the name 'The Flash'
      Bart Allen: He is Barry's Grandson from the future He was named 'Impulse' but then took the name 'Kid Flash' and then later on took the name 'The Flash'
      They are all connected by the speed force. Also there is this other guy called wally west who is black and is also Iris West's Niece and he is currently 'Kid Flash'
      Hope this helped i'm a huge Flash fan!

He can punch a billion times a second he can slow time down from his perspective to an attosecond bearing in mind that the slowest time ever recorded is 7.8 attoseconds and He can travel back in time and just kill him as a kid if he felt like it. he also can think at the speed of light. BAsically flash can just freeze everyone in time if he wanted to.

    Actually in catching Lois, or any super hero catch, they do a maneuver similar to what's called a "Stall" in Hackey Sack. You match the velocity of the sack (speed and direction) and then carry it and change it.
    As for the possibility of Whiplash and Vertigo? Well Just look at Star Trek or Star Gate Atlantis, they have Inertial Dampeners, which is why when they come out of Warp Speed, everyone standing doesn't go splat on the relative forward of their position surfaces.
    For Superman his own gravity and flight ability is that Dampener. In hackey sack you can confirm this dampening by the soft sound you hear of the sack when you complete a succesfull stall versus the much louder sound of just kicking it back.

    TL;DR: The Flash's fist having the mass of a white dwarf would actually create a black hole :D
    Fun fact, even his fist having the mass of a white dwarf is...weird, because it would create a black hole ^^. The Schwarzschildt radius of even the smallest white dwarfs we know of (and that we think are stable) are bigger than a kilometer. White dwarfs have masses ~0.5 - 0.7 times the mass of the sun, and with the Schwarzschild radius of the sun being ~ 3km, a white dwarf's Schwarzschild radius (and the Schwarzschild radius being linearly proportionate to the mass of the object) is at least 1.5km.
    And a black hole that massive being that close to Earth would just swallow it instantly. Fun :D

    Does he shred and burn the metal into iron oxide? If so, does he excrete large piles of powdered rust? For a movie that doesn't shy away from poop jokes, (landslide!) you'd think they'd address this.
    Does it undergo nuclear fission or fusion? But what about the fact that both processes absorb energy, rather than create it, due to the unique properties of Iron's Nuclear Binding Energy? If nothing else, this could be interesting to talk about.

    1:28 It's also correct, as when something moves faster than light, it produces a bluish -green glow (I forgot what it's actually called). We actually know that because it's actually possible to slow down light by shining it through certain substances. When an object went faster than the slowed down light, it produced that glow.

    • @SnackMuay
      @SnackMuay 7 лет назад +1

      Dullahan no. First of all, the speed of a punch is so negligible compared to the speed of light that it wouldn't push him over the limit, despite being so close to light speed.
      Second, relativity would take effect. If you shine a laser pointer in a moving train, the photons don't go the speed of light + the speed of the train, they just go the speed of light. It's pretty weird, but some wonky stuff happens at near light speed.

      For you running on an already moving ,for eg,
      Is (v1+v2)/(1+((v1*v2)/c^2))
      So you see if you are on a train moving at light speed
      You running wont push above speed of light

    • @darthesgoobis123
      @darthesgoobis123 7 лет назад

      Well yeah you are kind of right. As Saitamas ability comes solely from the writer and therefore can exceed infinity. BUT, Kyle failed to bring up in this video that Wally, being the fastest Flash, has actually traveled WAY faster than light speed (He once rescued half a million people, carrying them two or three at a time to about 5km from the explosion, he did this in less than a second, which some smart guy worked out to be about 14 trillion times the speed of light, which of course isn't possible. and far surpasses ANYTHING Superman has ever done, making the Flash more so a God than a superhero) so theoretically The Flash might be the only character ever to be able to really go toe to toe with Saitama, simply because they both have the same power, infinity possibility via the writers pen.

      Does this relativistic mass still apply equal force to the Flash's fist when he hits? If so, how does he endure it? I just couldn't help but wonder this, in addition to the question of gravitational force that was basically answered for me above.

    I noticed something off, and maybe it was just the script itself. You first pointed out that his his was equivalent to the mass of a white dwarf star, and thus calculated the speed needed to get the mass of a fist to that relativistic mass. Ok, cool. Later, it looked like you had the white dwarf mass (as opposed to a fist) multiplied by that same speed again, thus making it even more powerful than it actually was. Not that the end conclusion of "it's universe shattering" wouldn't still hold regardless, but I just wanted to ask and be sure. I love the show, please keep it going!

      The most important power for superheroes, aside from being able to have the energy to even muster their abilities, is the ability to control the effects of those powers. It's a kind of specialized reality warping designed to preserve reality from the effects of their actions.

    • @JakkFrost1
      @JakkFrost1 7 лет назад

      There's another important ability to be considered as well, one that's not often mentioned; the ability to not be harmed, or even _killed_, by the effects of one's own powers. For example, the Human Torch isn't cremated when he flames on, but Daisy/Quake is shattering the bones in her own forearms when she uses her powers. (At least the TV version of her is, don't know about the comics version.)
      Even Wolverine's claws, whether coated in adamantium or not, do damage to his hands when he pops them, it's just that his healing factor heals it instantly.
