I think that's what animes are doing, especially @ Sports anime. (Haikyuu, Kuroko's bball, Major) It can actually inspire people to actually play these sports lmao. Hetalia is an anime about history and even though it's not factually correct all the time, It made me interested in history and made me learn more. Cells at work for the future med kids, now Dr. Stone for all those science, chemist, engineer geeks that are important to our world. (I know this is like too much but that's what I'm seeing.) Anime also present the "loser" characters and kind of makes them appear like they CAN be MORE. Boku no hero has inspired me to be stronger, which is why I'm currently working out now. You get me right? Anime, if you focus on it, focuses more on inspiring their audiences. I see this in non-japanese movies and shows too but I see it MOST often in Anime.
@@chocolatarein8940 right? You have to understand every little detail that Senku says if you're actually going to "learn" anything, and be able to recall on that knowledge whenever. I don't count "Spin this, do that, wine to vinegar" as being taught anything... That's just bits of information. Saw dust at a concentration of ~45 grams/m^3 suspended in an enclosed space is highly combustible if sufficient oxygen and an ignition source are present. Saw dust is not the only combustible grain, coal, certain metal, flour, and more are combustible but they each require different grams/m^3, as well has having higher and lower limits of combustibility and uncombustibility- that is understanding of this specific topic. If instead I say: saw dust is combustible- that is just a bit of information. I didn't teach you anything... There's a huge difference between the two examples.. Senku does explain things too sometimes but in other areas they're just bits of knowledge that combine to make a product in the show. I personally would find Dr. Stone to be way more interesting if Senku wasn't the only highly intelligent person. Maybe Senku is an expert in x while others are experts in y, z, and so on. When it comes to knowledge, science, it's all Senku. He should be an expert in chemistry, and someone be an expert in biology, for example.

biochem guy here just a some background on myself. I was a medic that specialized in trauma; i have degrees in anthropology, public health, and finishing biochem, and have taken grad courses in emerging diseases, parasitology, and things of that nature. Senku was a chemist prodigy and son of an astronaut, hence why he is god-like at chemistry. There are critiques i have with his success rates in his experiments because he should have a percentage yield of products and not just always get 100%. this is important because the byproducts are often deadly or dangerous, whether it be initially after or later on when stored and oxidized by air (which we can see by the jars he uses for most compounds) I thought I'd help out on this endeavor so I would jot notes down for ya, since so much of this is chemistry, and is definitely more my wheelhouse. actually, closed wine can turn to vinegar as well, primarily because the cork is not perfect, which is why 20-30 years, you can absolutely get vinegar wine. It will taste more different because of the trace amounts of air that seep through over decades (I've had this, and it's solid for cooking, though not what you'd expect). so para-acetamidobenzenesulfonyl chloride this would possibly be the correct outcome, though you would definitely have a decent amount of byproducts that vary here if you get too hot. Also, the chlorine may break off to elements more favorable here which then further varies the intermediates and products. in regards to the use of sulfa drugs, using this is a great initial use because it's not always about getting "more powerful" antibiotics. this is because any antibiotics risk killing biotic organisms that help your body as well. Without being too specific there are also various methods of how certain antibiotics respond to biotic organisms, which then means that some work better for things like gram negative/positive bacteria, different shapes, etc. There's always a tradeoff, so it's not as clear cut as saying "use a better or worse antibiotic. With Pneumonia, there are various types. most commonly there's community acquired pneumonia. then within that, there's viral and bacterial, so sometimes antibiotics still do nothing. This knowledge came with a price because both can create the same response and further confuse the medical world until we had the technology and know-how to identify which was which via various methods. I personally love this show for it's rigorous research it's done as well as the level of detail they go into. Depending on how much you've overed into materials courses or inorganic chem, you should look at the hydroelectric creation he made as well as creation of tungsten alloy.
Microbiologist here with a background in biochemistry. I'm willing to give Senku the benefit of the doubt regarding all the byproducts that should have formed from the ochem reactions because frankly no other show would have even put in the effort to show the steps. The scene was accurate enough but not overwhelmingly detailed to lose everyone who was watching. If Senku actually had to put in the effort to purify products, that'd be both tedious and boring becauss 90% of the time will just be spent purifying the target molecule. Regarding pneumonia, I feel like Senku really jumped the shark here. He made an antibiotic before he even knew that pneumococcus was responsible for the disease. It would have been really bad if it turned out to be a viral infection lol
If I remember correctly, he had a moment where he mentioned it possibly being a viral infection, and that the sulfa would be useless, but he didn't have time to make anything else. It was basically a shot in the dark, and the first shot was the last shot.
"Did they ever reveal what Senku was studying..." As of recent chapters... Damn well near everything he could get his grubby little hands on. Senku is very much the "I want to learn as much as I can about everything I can" kinda guy
@@memesfromdeepspace1075 Y-yes I know... that's what I'm answering for him xD Senku researched basically anything and everything, the bird thing was only at the very tail end.
Honestly surprised they didn't give Senku glasses so he could do the whole middle finger push up of the glasses as he flexes his intellect like most anime characters. This is one of my favorite non action animes as it's probably 95% accurate in everything it talks about. Some things a little over simplified but will work.
Senku would tell you that photographic memory doesn't exist, or at least has not been proven. Instead, he repeats each lesson in his mind to ad nauseam... to an extent that would drive any sane man to death. And to be fair.... Senku is knowledgeable and very capable... but he is a ways away from an engineer. He had to learn the hard way on how to actually apply his knowledge and sometimes fails the first few times.
@@MrMeow-iq7kq what? Why would Senku do that? It certainly has been proven that photographic memory exists, and there are also people in the world that have perfect memory which means they remember every little detail of everything they see, experience, hear, smell and so on. They can recount the exact seconds of each day. Also, just because someone is an engineer doesn't mean they will be perfect at every project... Engineers, ALL THE TIME, will mess up on their projects when working on something new. Everything is trial and error unless there's a schematic for said project, then the engineers will roll right through it in many cases. It also matters how many times the engineer has done said project. In summary: Photographic memory exists- and Senku would definitely have it, or perfect memory, because it would be impossible for someone to remember as much stuff he has at his age. He knows pretty much everything, and that would be impossible to achieve without the help of photographic/perfect memory. There's no objection to this, it is true. Senku is not a ways away from being an engineer. His trial and error is not indicative of not being an engineer. Engineers fail all the time even in the highest echelons of talent. Senku is certainly an engineer, because he engineers things- that is all that's required really. Stop being an idiot.
@@spin.chicken actually thats untrue... there is no concrete evidence of photograghic memory existing. Just claims of such. Even those that claim it have still fallen short of proving it and have holes in those claims. This much at the very least is objective fact rather you like it or not. Look it up. If it does exist, we can at least agree that yea... this crazy man Senku would likely have it. As to Senku being an engineer, I never implied it was a bad thing. Many of the things he was doing he was doing for the first time- just going off his knowledge of the concepts so it makes sense that he struggled a bit on a few things. I don't know what you are trying to say, because it sounds like we dont necessarily disagree with anything there. Maybe stop being a shitty little fanboy, eh?
Is it reveal in season2 or I forget sth? Or is it (spoiler alert) Becuz these people are the descendant of those group of astronauts. If theres the case, I dont think Vinegar is the only thing we should be asking here xD
@@prumchhangsreng979 they were only left alone for a couple thousand years but are sufficiently advanced, especially in botany, zoology, and craftsmanship, we'd still be on wooden spears and scavenging
Bro I love how he's like "I'm an electrical engineering" and then goes into great detail about the chemistry of carbonation. Having a broad spectrum of knowledge is very important.
He was a simple high school students. His favourite subject is the entire science. He doesnot differentiate between physics, maths, chemistry, biology, computer science and home science But he loved space science and astronomy a lot. We can see the proof by his favourite birthday gift was a telescope and he was trying to build a rocket in his childhood . He also in his childhood said to his class teacher that he wants to be an Astronaut . His weakness is physical strength, romance, cooking and weaponry . His greatest strength is deduction of complex problem like Sherlock homes, High memory bank of general knowledge and science, working in high stress environment , high and speed ability to learn new skills, photographic memory, ultra optimistic in his abilities and a deep self analysis . He is like a mad comando scientist with photographic memory, high iq and high EQ .
It's absolutely 100% legitimate? You missed the chance to say "it's ten billion percent legitimate" there Great video by the way and a nice way of going into things in explaining :)
@@xavmanisdabestest may be true but you can literally watch king of random on youtube for recipes and instructions on making gunpowder, thermite and other dangerous compounds
Senku in the very first episode was shown working with a machine that turned bottle caps into gasoline. (That he made) Then in later episodes he was doing stuff like building complex machines as like. A five year old. He's very willing to learn and memorize everything for science for the simple chance of going to space like his adoptive father.
Senku does chemistry too. We saw that in the first episode when he gave Taiju his love potion which was really gasoline. He was cooking up some concoction in the lab.
Senku also added that the reason why Ruri survived is because of the hot spring water that Kohaku gave her. The warm, mineral rich water kept her clean enough and likely absorbed healthy minerals through her skin that it helped stave it off
Thank you for the facts about pneumonia. My dad had it earlier this year so my family and I were really worried. He got treated quickly and is doing a lot better
just a little point, if you shake a can of coke, the gushing doesn't come from increased preasure in the can, since the preasure stays mostly the same (except for the slight preasure increase due to increased heat produced by the shaking, but that amount is super small). The increased gushing comes from the increased surface between fluid and gas which comes from all the tiny bubbles in the coke which in term come from the shaking. So there is more surface where the CO2 can leave the liquid --> more gushing
well in regards to him not being able to control temperature, sure, that is correct, BUT he can forcibly lower the temperature by placing that rotator in/near water, it'll never reach freezing temperature, but it would definatly be cooler than if he had put on the land next to the river & waterfall
No it didn't. Not pneumococcal pneumonia anyway, that's caused by the bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae, whereas Covid-19 is a coronavirus. Bacteria and viruses are totally different things..
I really enjoy your videos. You cover the physics/engineering side which I don't have knowledge in and provide great insight into the anime. I studied biological sciences and thats the part of the anime that I cover in my videos.
senku isn't just a chemistry student, it is explained that he loves all science and is extremely good at it, in other words, he knows all, from foraging(he differentiated the shrooms at the start) to physics thru chemistry, and to even cooking!
8:04 The "secret" ingredient that gives coca-cola its distinctive flavor is decocanized coca leaf extract - basically all the stuff you get out of the cocaine plant that's not cocaine - and that's where the coca in the name comes from
Channel like yours shouldn’t be underrated lol. This is pretty much free knowledge. Thank you. I sometime watch Star Talk on RUclips which is educational.
A small correction the pressure inside a can of cola does not increase when you shake it IF the system inside is already at equilibrium. The Action Lab and Veritasium has more detailed explanation on this topic
so idk if anyone cares but what he's talking about at 4:40 is the synthesis for sulfa drug. Its actually one of the coolest syntheses, because it demonstrates some of the major organic breakthroughs. When he reacts chlorosulfonic acid with acetanilide, the amide group on the acetanilide is an ortho/para director, meaning that for electrophilic aromatic substitution, the sulfonyl chloride group is going to be attatched to either the ortho or para position (ortho being next to and para being across from). However, since the amide group on acetanilide is so physically bulky, the sulfonyl chloride group is favorable to attatch to the para position (about 10% ortho and 90% para). The product from this reaction is the para-acetamidosulfonyl chloride, which is where the "p" comes from. The really cool part about what he's showing off is that making this medicine is INCREDIBLY easy when you have a basic understanding of chemistry, and honestly apart from acetylsalicylic acid, is probably one of the easiest medicines for anyone to make at home / in a laboratory. Really cool stuff.
Actually shaking a can of soda while its sealed does not increase pressure, its in a state of equilibrium. What it instead does is mix the already existing air in the can into the liquid as small bubbles which will attach to the sides of the can. Those pockets of air become catalyst like points where CO2 can escape once the can's seal has been broken/opened. If you ever shake a can you can mitigate the effects by lightly tapping on the sides to release the bubbles of air back to the top, reducing the catalytic points of depressurized expansion.
Senku's adoptive father was an astronaut, and his life goal was to go to space himself, so he studied just about every field of science and engineering he could for over 10 years (from when he was in pre-school to the point where he was petrified in high school, I think he was 16 or so at the time.) He succeeded in making a rocket that reached the edge of space when he was like what, 15? and he even found a way to turn plastic bottle caps into gasoline. Later in the manga we found out he was actually consulting NASA scientists about rocketry so he had REAL information. From this we can conclude that Senku must have had quite a bit of knowledge of engineering and chemistry, combined with his virtually perfect memory (such as keeping track of 3700 years by literally counting the passing seconds) and we have one of my favorite shonen protagonists since...well ever really... As for using sulfonamides to cure pneumococcal pneumonia, I'm guessing it was a pretty crude antibiotic, but since this bacteria was 3700 years separated from modern medicine it more than likely was much weaker than modern day infectious bacteria that has evolved resistance to medicines we've developed, Senku DID toy with the idea of finding some penicillin mold to make an antibiotic, but admitted it would have been even more difficult, maybe even impossible, to find the right strain of mold to refine...although much later in the manga they would start making bread, I wonder if they could put some of that out and grow the right mold that way...
I suggest you to watch “The Irregular at Magic High School”. That is a science fiction anime that I love so much. The time setting is 2096. In that anime magic has been systematized into a technology.
Sulfa antibiotics are used for UTIs, skin, lung, brain, bone infection depending how on what bacteria grows. We use antifungals to treat yeast infection, not sulfa drugs. We treat pneumonias commonly for 5 days now, severe pneumonias maybe upto 2 weeks. ~Infection Doctor
I hope since you've posted this, you've actually watched the whole first season of the anime; and now understand everything Senku did before being turned to stone.
Senku is a High School student interested in science & learning in general so he has a broad range of knowledge across a variety of subjects. However, in the first episode he is shown working in his school's Chemistry lab so it's probably a safe bet that he has a particularly strong knowledge of Chemistry. That aside, like most isekai stories of this variety, the main character has whatever knowledge they need at that point in time to achieve their goal...whether or not they would or could feasibly have that knowledge.
Senku was in high school when that all happened. He asked himself when he was young why the moon was following him, so that led to research, then testing, then just an overall obsession with science to the point he built a RAY GUN to fend off bullies in 1ST GRADE.
4:48 the chemistry is just an Electrophilic Aromatic Addition reaction where the chloroSulfuric acid is directed to the para part of a benzene ring by an election donating ground called acetanilide. The last part is ammonia replacing the Chloride to create Sulfanilamide. My chemical knowledge only extends so far because I don’t study antibiotics but this molecule is something that other students make in Orgo labs to observe the anti biotic ability against pathogenic bacteria in an immuno assay
2:00 oh boi, i've just watched an episode of veritasium that explained that if you shake coca cola you're not increasing pressure, just making more "bubbles" at the side of the can, that then explode due to the decrease in pressure when you open the can
I feel as though veritasium as a channel tends to be a bit overzealous, although yes that's probably true, if you've ever held a plastic soda bottle after shaking it you can very easily tell that the pressure increases to some extent
The manga has a science consultant. And the manga author and the manga artist are two different people. I don't remember the name of the author, but the manga artist 's name is Boichi. He also has a RUclips channel.
Hi! I work in pharmacy - Sulfa drugs can 100% be used to treat earlier stages of pneumonia! And, no. Sulfa is not really used for yeast infections - but, they are DOMINATELY used in treating UTIs! The drug works not by killing the bacteria, but by making it so that the bacteria cannot reproduce. This allows your body's natural immune system to take over and wipe out aggressive colonies of bacteria. So, yes. In Ruri's case, this would 100% work! :)
Senku was a high school kid. He is a self taught science prodigy. And before he turned to stone he was inventing a way to turn plastic bottle caps into gasoline as plastic is basically a really long hydrocarbon.
As some one who has never seen your channel let me say I love what your doing, and senku was a 10 year at a college that his dad ,an astronaut, helped him get into at the age of 13 I think. He studied everything about the world. He wanted to make the world even more advanced and be known the world over. And this guy live and breathed all forms of education.
Well I'm sure u know now 5 months later but for anyone else. He is a hs student yes but he is president of the science club, his dad I'd an astronaut, and his goal was to get to space all on his own so he had to learn where to get things on his own so he could do everything from home. He'd already been a brilliant kid but as far as chemistry and biochemistry he has been living it and breathing it since he was like 4. His dad also ofc get his knowledge(books, high tech chem equipment at the age of like 8 if not younger, etc.)and motivated him because of his own career.
5:00 don't need to be shock with senku's strong knowledge, the setting of this anime/comic is a bunch of high school students with all kinds of bug skill (like infinity knowledge, infinity strength, power that can kill a tiger with bare hand etc.)
moments before he was turned to stone he was a high schooler who had just created gasoline out of plastic. He just wanted to know everything and go to space
2:00 Actually, the reason why shaking a carbonated drink makes it explods out of the bottle is that it creates bubbles, which act as nucleation sites for the gas to escape the liquid. That's why Mentos do it to actually - it has a high surface area, which also acts as a nucleation site. Tapping the bottle to dislodge the bubbles before opening it should reduce the explosiot.
After watching Dr. Stone I started to like chemistry. I went deeper an deeper, and after 2 month of studying I took place in International Chemistry Olympiad. So I've reached the 3rd phase, and scored 8/10 and got a 2nd place. Yeah, maybe anime can't teach you, but it can give you a motivation, a goal etc. It can change your destiny! That's the real power of anime. Thank you so much, Senku.
He was a kid who just wanted to learn everything and lead his own trip to space. He was the top of his class and was smarter than most of his teachers and did many science experiments and projects on his free time that usually could only be done in labs by professionals. Long story short, before the Stone Age, Senku was a science prodigy like none the world had ever seen.
The pressure in a shaken or unshaken container of cola is 3 atmospheres. It’s the number nucleation sites created by the shaking that causes it to spray.
He was a highschool student in the science club or so. He is a science prodigy and has been reading books about it since he was in elementary. Albert Einstein is his idol since elementary and helped his foster father swim making some machine he made as a child and attaching it on his dad to teach his dad to swim, which helped his dad pass the physical test to go into space because swimming was part of the test and his dad couldn't swim. So, Senku's like this since he was little and wondered why the moon follows him. Where the class was learning alphabet and numbers, Senku's reading books on Albert Einstein and science. When he turned into stone, he was still a student at high school and in the middle of a science experiment turning plastic caps into gasoline. His knowledge and understanding, supposedly, surpassed that of most scientists and other students in the science club. So that's his background. Also, his father is his distant relative who took him in as a foster. They're not closely biologically related.
Sulfonamide actually was used as a general antibiotic for a decent period of time, even if it's not used as such today. It was developed just a few years after penicillin was discovered. And pneumonia IS one of the diseases Sulfonamide can successfully treat. That said, the sulfonamide molecule chain is used a component in a lot of drugs other drugs used today.
If you watch the first two episodes I believe it should explain it. He is basically like a prodigy basically who has been studying all kinds of science, and has been attempting to make a rocket from scratch since he was like 10
What you said about the sulfa drug is partly right. It is also used as an antibiotic but it doesn't KILL the bacteria, it just halts the spread of the bacteria. So it could be used but it would halt the spread and your body would do the rest. Also it has bad side effects, I watched another Pharmecutical expert explain that the sulfa drug was the best decision to make as that is their best chance to get an antibiotic
i learn more things in this video than my chemistry class during school

This knowledge came with a price because both can create the same response and further confuse the medical world until we had the technology and know-how to identify which was which via various methods. I personally love this show for it's rigorous research it's done as well as the level of detail they go into. Depending on how much you've overed into materials courses or inorganic chem, you should look at the hydroelectric creation he made as well as creation of tungsten alloy.
Microbiologist here with a background in biochemistry. I'm willing to give Senku the benefit of the doubt regarding all the byproducts that should have formed from the ochem reactions because frankly no other show would have even put in the effort to show the steps. The scene was accurate enough but not overwhelmingly detailed to lose everyone who was watching. If Senku actually had to put in the effort to purify products, that'd be both tedious and boring becauss 90% of the time will just be spent purifying the target molecule. Regarding pneumonia, I feel like Senku really jumped the shark here. He made an antibiotic before he even knew that pneumococcus was responsible for the disease. It would have been really bad if it turned out to be a viral infection lol
@@contramuffin5814 lol couldn’t agree more lol.
@@kjp2006 ^
If I remember correctly, he had a moment where he mentioned it possibly being a viral infection, and that the sulfa would be useless, but he didn't have time to make anything else. It was basically a shot in the dark, and the first shot was the last shot.

5:02-5:07 literally everyone watching or reading dr stone but we still love it

"Did they ever reveal what Senku was studying..."
As of recent chapters...
Damn well near everything he could get his grubby little hands on. Senku is very much the "I want to learn as much as I can about everything I can" kinda guy
He learned from a nasa scientist
Even before petrification senku already studying about bird that turn into stone
@@memesfromdeepspace1075 Y-yes I know... that's what I'm answering for him xD Senku researched basically anything and everything, the bird thing was only at the very tail end.
What was Senku studying before?
Answer: Yes.
Yeah he even went to Africa to research about Ebola.
“He has such a strong KNOWLEDGE!”
*Laughs in anime protagonist*
Honestly surprised they didn't give Senku glasses so he could do the whole middle finger push up of the glasses as he flexes his intellect like most anime characters. This is one of my favorite non action animes as it's probably 95% accurate in everything it talks about. Some things a little over simplified but will work.
@@shadowproductions969 he might make one to do that
@@aprettydumbperson would be funny if he did it even as a one time gag
@@shadowproductions969 yea i could see him doing that
But I dont see the author doing it anytime soon
As I observed in the earlier episodes, Senku have a great interest to every branch of Science. And it looks like he have a photographic memory.
has*
He's a man of will, also he has a good memory but not photographic, that trait belongs to the almighty soyus
Senku would tell you that photographic memory doesn't exist, or at least has not been proven.
Instead, he repeats each lesson in his mind to ad nauseam... to an extent that would drive any sane man to death.
And to be fair.... Senku is knowledgeable and very capable... but he is a ways away from an engineer. He had to learn the hard way on how to actually apply his knowledge and sometimes fails the first few times.
@@MrMeow-iq7kq what? Why would Senku do that? It certainly has been proven that photographic memory exists, and there are also people in the world that have perfect memory which means they remember every little detail of everything they see, experience, hear, smell and so on. They can recount the exact seconds of each day.
Also, just because someone is an engineer doesn't mean they will be perfect at every project... Engineers, ALL THE TIME, will mess up on their projects when working on something new. Everything is trial and error unless there's a schematic for said project, then the engineers will roll right through it in many cases. It also matters how many times the engineer has done said project.
In summary:
Photographic memory exists- and Senku would definitely have it, or perfect memory, because it would be impossible for someone to remember as much stuff he has at his age. He knows pretty much everything, and that would be impossible to achieve without the help of photographic/perfect memory. There's no objection to this, it is true.
Senku is not a ways away from being an engineer. His trial and error is not indicative of not being an engineer. Engineers fail all the time even in the highest echelons of talent. Senku is certainly an engineer, because he engineers things- that is all that's required really.
Stop being an idiot.
@@spin.chicken actually thats untrue... there is no concrete evidence of photograghic memory existing. Just claims of such. Even those that claim it have still fallen short of proving it and have holes in those claims. This much at the very least is objective fact rather you like it or not. Look it up.
If it does exist, we can at least agree that yea... this crazy man Senku would likely have it.
As to Senku being an engineer, I never implied it was a bad thing. Many of the things he was doing he was doing for the first time- just going off his knowledge of the concepts so it makes sense that he struggled a bit on a few things. I don't know what you are trying to say, because it sounds like we dont necessarily disagree with anything there.
Maybe stop being a shitty little fanboy, eh?
This is how teachers trick students into studying, by making an anime

Bro I love how he's like "I'm an electrical engineering" and then goes into great detail about the chemistry of carbonation. Having a broad spectrum of knowledge is very important.
He was a simple high school students. His favourite subject is the entire science. He doesnot differentiate between physics, maths, chemistry, biology, computer science and home science But he loved space science and astronomy a lot. We can see the proof by his favourite birthday gift was a telescope and he was trying to build a rocket in his childhood . He also in his childhood said to his class teacher that he wants to be an Astronaut . His weakness is physical strength, romance, cooking and weaponry . His greatest strength is deduction of complex problem like Sherlock homes, High memory bank of general knowledge and science, working in high stress environment , high and speed ability to learn new skills, photographic memory, ultra optimistic in his abilities and a deep self analysis . He is like a mad comando scientist with photographic memory, high iq and high EQ .
Another of his weakness is his bad luck

Senku in the very first episode was shown working with a machine that turned bottle caps into gasoline. (That he made)
Then in later episodes he was doing stuff like building complex machines as like. A five year old.
He's very willing to learn and memorize everything for science for the simple chance of going to space like his adoptive father.
Senku does chemistry too. We saw that in the first episode when he gave Taiju his love potion which was really gasoline. He was cooking up some concoction in the lab.
If you remember in the earlier episodes he said “I have to learn everything” then try and try again.
when senku was petrified he counted the whole time. he counted 117,354,893,870 seconds, meaning that he's been petrified for 3719 years and 249 days.
"I don't have the slightest clue of anything that man said." Same bruv
Senku also added that the reason why Ruri survived is because of the hot spring water that Kohaku gave her. The warm, mineral rich water kept her clean enough and likely absorbed healthy minerals through her skin that it helped stave it off
Perhaps what we wanted to see was "SCIENTIST"
Thank you for the facts about pneumonia. My dad had it earlier this year so my family and I were really worried. He got treated quickly and is doing a lot better
All the characters are essentially the best at their skill from the old world. Senku is a genius
Taiju and Tsukasa are already so OP they could actually pass for MHA characters though.

Props to author, like damn, making this manga costed a lot like A LOT of research.. >α>
Indeed. Must've been hard and tiring.
An anime just outsmarted a man with a degree, this is a miracle work
just a little point, if you shake a can of coke, the gushing doesn't come from increased preasure in the can, since the preasure stays mostly the same (except for the slight preasure increase due to increased heat produced by the shaking, but that amount is super small). The increased gushing comes from the increased surface between fluid and gas which comes from all the tiny bubbles in the coke which in term come from the shaking. So there is more surface where the CO2 can leave the liquid --> more gushing
Im out here learning Chemistry from an Anime watching Engineer... man....look at God being great!
thanks ahaha
The water from some waterfalls is quite cold. So, maybe he is accounting for the temperature.
well in regards to him not being able to control temperature, sure, that is correct, BUT he can forcibly lower the temperature by placing that rotator in/near water, it'll never reach freezing temperature, but it would definatly be cooler than if he had put on the land next to the river & waterfall
I'm not watching dr. stone to learn about science but to appreciate the story
2020: what? your pneumonia is evolving.
congratulations. your pnuemonia evolved to covid19
It's super effective!
Covid-19 used suffocate, It's super effective
do you want give it a nickname？
covid-19 isnt bacterial
No it didn't. Not pneumococcal pneumonia anyway, that's caused by the bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae, whereas Covid-19 is a coronavirus. Bacteria and viruses are totally different things..
I really enjoy your videos. You cover the physics/engineering side which I don't have knowledge in and provide great insight into the anime. I studied biological sciences and thats the part of the anime that I cover in my videos.
he was a wiz in the books and spent all his time reading and experimenting with all kinds of kits and sets his father got him so he just got smarter
And his father was an astronomer/astronaut, which also helped.
this is my first video from your channel! was fun and interesting and I subscribed! :)
Welcome!!
I love Dr Stone. One of the more interesting animes I've found recently.
senku isn't just a chemistry student, it is explained that he loves all science and is extremely good at it, in other words, he knows all, from foraging(he differentiated the shrooms at the start) to physics thru chemistry, and to even cooking!
Senku's field is "Science", every aspect of it.
i am new in this channel and my my! even ur face was like of gen! hahaha his reaction and gen's reaction were epic! also, i'm subbing ur channel!!!
Thank you!! 😁
8:04 The "secret" ingredient that gives coca-cola its distinctive flavor is decocanized coca leaf extract - basically all the stuff you get out of the cocaine plant that's not cocaine - and that's where the coca in the name comes from
Channel like yours shouldn’t be underrated lol. This is pretty much free knowledge. Thank you. I sometime watch Star Talk on RUclips which is educational.
I appreciate that!

A small correction
the pressure inside a can of cola does not increase when you shake it IF the system inside is already at equilibrium.
The Action Lab and Veritasium has more detailed explanation on this topic
1:55 I'm not sure that you're correct that shaking a can increases the pressure inside.
so idk if anyone cares but what he's talking about at 4:40 is the synthesis for sulfa drug. Its actually one of the coolest syntheses, because it demonstrates some of the major organic breakthroughs. When he reacts chlorosulfonic acid with acetanilide, the amide group on the acetanilide is an ortho/para director, meaning that for electrophilic aromatic substitution, the sulfonyl chloride group is going to be attatched to either the ortho or para position (ortho being next to and para being across from). However, since the amide group on acetanilide is so physically bulky, the sulfonyl chloride group is favorable to attatch to the para position (about 10% ortho and 90% para). The product from this reaction is the para-acetamidosulfonyl chloride, which is where the "p" comes from.
The really cool part about what he's showing off is that making this medicine is INCREDIBLY easy when you have a basic understanding of chemistry, and honestly apart from acetylsalicylic acid, is probably one of the easiest medicines for anyone to make at home / in a laboratory. Really cool stuff.
5:08
Well while he was a stone statue he counted every second he was immobile.
I have been waiting for something like this!!!!!!
5:10 they said that he counted for 3000+ years
Not by years, but by seconds...
This was randomly recommended to me. As a science nerd, and an anime nerd... I’ve subbed.
Welcome to the gold life! I'm glad you like the video!
I just graduated as an electrical engineer.
Why am I not this smart :
I think u can do the same as this dude did, just need some preparation before shoot 😊
Also experience
Actually shaking a can of soda while its sealed does not increase pressure, its in a state of equilibrium. What it instead does is mix the already existing air in the can into the liquid as small bubbles which will attach to the sides of the can. Those pockets of air become catalyst like points where CO2 can escape once the can's seal has been broken/opened. If you ever shake a can you can mitigate the effects by lightly tapping on the sides to release the bubbles of air back to the top, reducing the catalytic points of depressurized expansion.
Smoking sigs with with pneumonia I learned that from my family I learn in psychology that it's a narcotic. You don't need meds
Senku's adoptive father was an astronaut, and his life goal was to go to space himself, so he studied just about every field of science and engineering he could for over 10 years (from when he was in pre-school to the point where he was petrified in high school, I think he was 16 or so at the time.) He succeeded in making a rocket that reached the edge of space when he was like what, 15? and he even found a way to turn plastic bottle caps into gasoline. Later in the manga we found out he was actually consulting NASA scientists about rocketry so he had REAL information. From this we can conclude that Senku must have had quite a bit of knowledge of engineering and chemistry, combined with his virtually perfect memory (such as keeping track of 3700 years by literally counting the passing seconds) and we have one of my favorite shonen protagonists since...well ever really...
As for using sulfonamides to cure pneumococcal pneumonia, I'm guessing it was a pretty crude antibiotic, but since this bacteria was 3700 years separated from modern medicine it more than likely was much weaker than modern day infectious bacteria that has evolved resistance to medicines we've developed, Senku DID toy with the idea of finding some penicillin mold to make an antibiotic, but admitted it would have been even more difficult, maybe even impossible, to find the right strain of mold to refine...although much later in the manga they would start making bread, I wonder if they could put some of that out and grow the right mold that way...
I suggest you to watch “The Irregular at Magic High School”. That is a science fiction anime that I love so much. The time setting is 2096. In that anime magic has been systematized into a technology.
I'll check it out!

Sulfa antibiotics are used for UTIs, skin, lung, brain, bone infection depending how on what bacteria grows. We use antifungals to treat yeast infection, not sulfa drugs. We treat pneumonias commonly for 5 days now, severe pneumonias maybe upto 2 weeks.
~Infection Doctor
I hope since you've posted this, you've actually watched the whole first season of the anime; and now understand everything Senku did before being turned to stone.
I actually like how my favourite subject is getting recognition more and more.
Chemistry/computer science is love.
Michael bay react to Konosuba - Megumin
That video would be full of explosions.
Senku is a High School student interested in science & learning in general so he has a broad range of knowledge across a variety of subjects. However, in the first episode he is shown working in his school's Chemistry lab so it's probably a safe bet that he has a particularly strong knowledge of Chemistry. That aside, like most isekai stories of this variety, the main character has whatever knowledge they need at that point in time to achieve their goal...whether or not they would or could feasibly have that knowledge.
Senku was in high school when that all happened. He asked himself when he was young why the moon was following him, so that led to research, then testing, then just an overall obsession with science to the point he built a RAY GUN to fend off bullies in 1ST GRADE.
🤔 what i remember ITS Tesla coill
Rail gun ? He can kill some one with that
4:48 the chemistry is just an Electrophilic Aromatic Addition reaction where the chloroSulfuric acid is directed to the para part of a benzene ring by an election donating ground called acetanilide. The last part is ammonia replacing the Chloride to create Sulfanilamide. My chemical knowledge only extends so far because I don’t study antibiotics but this molecule is something that other students make in Orgo labs to observe the anti biotic ability against pathogenic bacteria in an immuno assay
Dr stone taught me way more than any other class I have taken
2:00 oh boi, i've just watched an episode of veritasium that explained that if you shake coca cola you're not increasing pressure, just making more "bubbles" at the side of the can, that then explode due to the decrease in pressure when you open the can
I feel as though veritasium as a channel tends to be a bit overzealous, although yes that's probably true, if you've ever held a plastic soda bottle after shaking it you can very easily tell that the pressure increases to some extent
Dr. Stone is supervised by a team of professional scientists, pharmacologists, sword makers, and other mechanics.
The manga has a science consultant. And the manga author and the manga artist are two different people. I don't remember the name of the author, but the manga artist 's name is Boichi. He also has a RUclips channel.
Keep at it. Was always wondering how accurate some of this stuff actually is. Also totally digging the pic of mewtwo
Thanks! He's my favorite pokemon!! Favorite non legendary is Gengar
This is why I love Doctor Stone.
Im a 14 year old Aspiring mechanical engineer and you've been a really good role modle for me keep up the good work
Glad I can help! I encourage you to do engineering, its a worthwhile pursuit!
Hi! I work in pharmacy - Sulfa drugs can 100% be used to treat earlier stages of pneumonia! And, no. Sulfa is not really used for yeast infections - but, they are DOMINATELY used in treating UTIs!
The drug works not by killing the bacteria, but by making it so that the bacteria cannot reproduce. This allows your body's natural immune system to take over and wipe out aggressive colonies of bacteria. So, yes. In Ruri's case, this would 100% work! :)
Senku was a high school kid. He is a self taught science prodigy. And before he turned to stone he was inventing a way to turn plastic bottle caps into gasoline as plastic is basically a really long hydrocarbon.
He knows very much of things because his motto is " Learn everything, try everything"
Love your vids keep it up
Thank you!
You’ll gonna love how they build the ship, hot air ballon, camera, car, GPS, and signal .
Already waiting for dr Stone #16 and #17 !🔥
Nice video
No problem 😊
Sulfa is still used as a general antibiotic and widely prescribed for bacterial pneumonias and mild infections
I learned more from you more than my science teacher
dude.....this is why i love this show
You can tell he is a real engineer by noticing how well he gets prepared for the test
As some one who has never seen your channel let me say I love what your doing, and senku was a 10 year at a college that his dad ,an astronaut, helped him get into at the age of 13 I think. He studied everything about the world. He wanted to make the world even more advanced and be known the world over. And this guy live and breathed all forms of education.
Well I'm sure u know now 5 months later but for anyone else. He is a hs student yes but he is president of the science club, his dad I'd an astronaut, and his goal was to get to space all on his own so he had to learn where to get things on his own so he could do everything from home. He'd already been a brilliant kid but as far as chemistry and biochemistry he has been living it and breathing it since he was like 4. His dad also ofc get his knowledge(books, high tech chem equipment at the age of like 8 if not younger, etc.)and motivated him because of his own career.
5:00 don't need to be shock with senku's strong knowledge, the setting of this anime/comic is a bunch of high school students with all kinds of bug skill (like infinity knowledge, infinity strength, power that can kill a tiger with bare hand etc.)
moments before he was turned to stone he was a high schooler who had just created gasoline out of plastic. He just wanted to know everything and go to space
2:00 Actually, the reason why shaking a carbonated drink makes it explods out of the bottle is that it creates bubbles, which act as nucleation sites for the gas to escape the liquid. That's why Mentos do it to actually - it has a high surface area, which also acts as a nucleation site.
Tapping the bottle to dislodge the bubbles before opening it should reduce the explosiot.
After watching Dr. Stone I started to like chemistry. I went deeper an deeper, and after 2 month of studying I took place in International Chemistry Olympiad. So I've reached the 3rd phase, and scored 8/10 and got a 2nd place. Yeah, maybe anime can't teach you, but it can give you a motivation, a goal etc. It can change your destiny! That's the real power of anime.
Thank you so much, Senku.
It sounds like you watched an anime...
And then _became_ an anime. ;P
@@ScionStorm1 Yeah. And now I'm on the Moon building my 5th base.
My respect to you, a fellow engineer. i know we are drunk for most of the time in college and still managed to graduate. :D
LOL
He was a kid who just wanted to learn everything and lead his own trip to space. He was the top of his class and was smarter than most of his teachers and did many science experiments and projects on his free time that usually could only be done in labs by professionals. Long story short, before the Stone Age, Senku was a science prodigy like none the world had ever seen.
This is 10 billion time better than I thought 👌🏾
The pressure in a shaken or unshaken container of cola is 3 atmospheres. It’s the number nucleation sites created by the shaking that causes it to spray.
He was a highschool student in the science club or so. He is a science prodigy and has been reading books about it since he was in elementary. Albert Einstein is his idol since elementary and helped his foster father swim making some machine he made as a child and attaching it on his dad to teach his dad to swim, which helped his dad pass the physical test to go into space because swimming was part of the test and his dad couldn't swim. So, Senku's like this since he was little and wondered why the moon follows him. Where the class was learning alphabet and numbers, Senku's reading books on Albert Einstein and science. When he turned into stone, he was still a student at high school and in the middle of a science experiment turning plastic caps into gasoline. His knowledge and understanding, supposedly, surpassed that of most scientists and other students in the science club. So that's his background. Also, his father is his distant relative who took him in as a foster. They're not closely biologically related.
Sulfonamide actually was used as a general antibiotic for a decent period of time, even if it's not used as such today. It was developed just a few years after penicillin was discovered. And pneumonia IS one of the diseases Sulfonamide can successfully treat.
That said, the sulfonamide molecule chain is used a component in a lot of drugs other drugs used today.
If you watch the first two episodes I believe it should explain it. He is basically like a prodigy basically who has been studying all kinds of science, and has been attempting to make a rocket from scratch since he was like 10
What you said about the sulfa drug is partly right. It is also used as an antibiotic but it doesn't KILL the bacteria, it just halts the spread of the bacteria. So it could be used but it would halt the spread and your body would do the rest. Also it has bad side effects, I watched another Pharmecutical expert explain that the sulfa drug was the best decision to make as that is their best chance to get an antibiotic
