Sugarcanes are my favorite type of canes.
the only kind of canes we need
we need canes to walk with tho
What about candycanes, you monster?
I prefer cocaine
+SMR Cocaine is the rejected one of the cane family.
Jupiter's Great Red Spot laughs at your theoretical hypercanes :P
Jupiter's got gas.
Shhh don't tell Americans, they will invade.
I say America takes democracy to Jupiter with their massive weapons of 1,800 freedom per minute.
There is a Uranus joke somewhere over here.
+FairyRat there will be 7 planets left.
After i destroy uranus
"if a hypercane ever did occur we would already be in hot water"
"OH MY GOD YOU DID NOT!"
No, don’t.
Uh welcome to 2020
Sharknado vs Hypercane would be an "epic" blockbuster
''sharkane''
I thought the same thing it would be hilarious to see the trailer for it.
Hurrigator vs Sharknado 3D
@@Aeturnalis HOLLYWOOD NEEDS TO MAKE A MOVIE ABOUT THAT
DIfference between SciShow and Kurzgesagt:
SciShow: This scary thing is scary, but unlikely. You'll be fine!
Kurzgesagt: This scary thing is scary, and while it might be unlikely, you're still going to die and the universe is going to become a giant void of nothingness.
also kurzgesagt is full of birds.
yeah the chances of a Hypercane to form is extremely highly unlikely but not impossible
Kurgesagt is my daily dose of existential crisis!
We can prevent it by killing all the butterflies
Yes, let's do that
😂
agreed
Danger averted. No more butterfly effect!
oh I see what you did there.😉
I have a question: What if the Earth spun upwards instead of sideways? Basically, what if it spun like Uranus?
And also, why is hair around uranus?
And also, why is hair around uranus?
Then we would all have to live on the very small ring-side of the disc.

Are you going to comment this under every video?
Didn't they already do a massive hurricane movie like the size of North America? Wasn't it called The Day After Tomorrow or something
what, Wednesday?
Yes, I scrolled down to see if anybody had beaten me to it. There were 3 in that movie I think, causing an ice age.
Yeah I was just thinking that! Really good movie! And it seems kinda possible...
Yeah. And it's absolute shit.
forgotten by short memory folk, needs more "hype" to scare peeps about global warming, kappa
Why am I watching this right after a hurricane ate my entire state and threw up water...
Soooooo... proff your state is solidified water..?
A sharkane is the most deadly.

IT'S PIKACHU!
I love that thumbs-up at the end with the chaotic grin. Like "Yeah this could happen if given the exact conditions!! Sip your drink though it's fine because it probably won't even though it totally could if we were unlucky enough!!! Yay disaster!!" Plus the force given to make the thumbs-up is fairly hilarious, is it not?
"Both literally and figuratively."
you can just say literally now. It also means figuratively.
I feel like someone is salty about natural word usage changes affecting a word meaning they liked to defend.
Or the opposite. You can't tell intonation from text.
I don't think people hate usage changes inherently, but when you make a word that also is its own antonym you have a problem, because that makes the word truly meaningless.
Viddog Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand HERE WE GO!!!
A bit annoying and redundant.
Firstly, autoantonyms aren't a strange thing, they exist, like bolt meaning both to fasten into place and to leave quickly. Not a lot of good perfect antonyms, but still.
Hypercane sounds like a new form of cocaine
i did my theoretical thesis a few years ago about hypercanes and the extinction of the KT Era, just a heads up about wind speeds for those interested.
[Quoted from my thesis]
Our most powerful modern day hurricane was Hurricane Katrina, back in 2005 of the atlantic hurricane season.
Even Though Hurricane Katrina was the largest storm to ever grace the US, it was only the 3rd strongest ever recorded in the US, Katrina peaked at a Category 5 Hurricane, with winds up to 175 miles per hour.
Already you can see the huge difference in wind speeds alone, a Hypercanes 500mph+ winds compared to katrina’s 175mph, when you double the wind speed, the force of the storm is multiplied by the factor of 8. So if Katrina’s wind speed was to double from 175mph to 350mph the force of the storm would be 8 TIMES STRONGER than that of Katrina, double the wind speeds again, now you're in Hypercane Territory with wind speeds ranging from 500mph to 800mph (the speed of sound), so comparing Katrina to a basic Hypercane
a Hypercane is at least 16 times more powerful than katrina ever was and spans an entire continent.
[end quote]
So massive, it shakes the ground with its march. So vast, it drinks the rivers dry.
well if you talking about Hypercanes?
no they won't drink rivers dry no they won't shake the ground but yeah they would surely be massive in size
in fact if a Hypercane was ever to form and hit land it would more than likely cause massive flooding
for example imagine the flood in Noah's time but at a much smaller scale?
like instead of the whole entire world getting flooded it would be basically that whole entire landmass that's getting effected by the Hypercane that gets totally flooded by this Apocalyptic Monster Destructive Major Hurricane
why is the world so bad at keeping itself alive
because humans.
The world? You mean Earth? The planet itself is not alive.
it's neither, it's informing us about, quote, a "theoretical model"
+FuZZy961 3:57 Fear mongering? Not science? It could come true but that doesn't mean it will happen. A large asteroid could hit the Earth tomorrow but no one really worries about that.
It's only a model. Also, even if the idea that this killed the dinosaurs is true, it shows that the world is very good at keeping "itself alive".
hypercane? that sounds like a really advanced walking stick
Those who made Day after tomorrow should make something like this and call it "Landfall" Would fit very good imo.
Hank I love you sense of humor great presentation
Legit question: what would we name hypercanes? (Assuming, Of course that there is someone around to record the event.) would we name them the same as normal hurricanes? Or something else?
It would be called "the hypercane of death"
well since Hypercanes are tropical cyclones & they would most likely become Tropical Storms and Hurricanes before they become Hypercanes
they would most likely would be named whatever the names are on the Hurricane name list of which year that Hurricane season falls on it all depends on which storm name on the list that the Hypercanes would be born with as Tropical Storms
like if a Tropical Storm is born under an A name on the list?
it would be named whatever name that's starts with an A
which means if a Tropical Storm of whatever name it is on the Hurricane name list becomes a Hypercane?
that Hypercane would be named whatever name that Tropical Storm forms under
let's just say if 2 Tropical Storms forms in 2023 in the Atlantic Ocean?
one becomes Arlene and the other becomes Bret then one out of the 2 becomes a Hypercane
like if Arlene becomes a Hypercane?
It would be called Hypercane Arlene
or
If Bret becomes a Hypercane?
It would be called Hypercane Bret
It all depends on which one of those 2 named storms would be in 50+ celsius sea surface temperatures and high upper ocean heat content/huohc or upper ocean heat content/uohc?
and yeah Hypercanes would more than likely get the same name as normal Hurricanes
So if a Hypercane is hypothetical, is it a Hypocane?
A hypocane would just be a mini-hurricane, due to the actual meaning of the prefixes hypo and hyper.
I love Hank's personality.
When the world's about to end, I want to hear it from John Green. He just makes everyone dying sound so whimsical.
What did you do last night?
I linked disintegrating belts of ammo while watching SciShow.
Merica
For what? The castrated semi-auto FN 249? Or something cooler?
+drtm17 Æ No, Fuck that gun, it sucks and the FN people were...exactly as you would expect them to be. We do have a video on the 249S if you want to see it tho.
Something cooler. Still commercially available tho, and about 1/3 the coin of a 249S.
Let me guess: I have to wait and see what it is?
+drtm17 Æ yup, this is not Tacobell. No instagratification here.
But are there Hypercanes on Uranus?
and jupiter
+Aasher “Aash 41” Ahmed WHOOSH!
+Noah Lawson

love your pic ;)
Only hair.
Very comforting at the end there Hank. Thanks.
"It's just one very unlikely hypothetical disaster among many, more likely disasters. You'll be fine!" Yea, very reassuring, Hank!
yeah the chances of Hypercanes forming are very extremely highly unlikely but definitely not impossible
you see if climate change aka global warming keeps getting worse and worse?
the likelihood of having Hypercanes would increase slowly but surely
more than likely it won't be in our life time
but if climate change aka global warming gets worse at a accelerating rate?
those chances would increase much more sooner than we think or much more sooner than later like the likelihood of having Hypercanes in our life time would increase dramatically
Nobody show this to Roland Emmerich.
nor to Michael Bay
Pretty sure this was already the plot of the day after tomorrow.
+haltopen12
Plot ? What plot ? Emmerich movies do in principle not have a plot.
+Frank Schneider yeah they do, they're boiler plate plots but they do exist
this is our sacred vow
dude this is disaster movie gold, or the perfect sequel for Day of Crisis by monolith soft
how about the day after tomorrow
"you'll be fine" totally gave a vault-tec guy thumbs up right there.
"You'll be fine!"
I am not very reassured, Hank
Please don't be as bad as I think it will be
IT WAS WORSE
If you're a Jedi Shark then why is your lightsaber red?

Don't worry about it. If Hank says we'll be fine than we'll be fine.
Two video's with Hank in the same day? Woo hoo!
This needs to become a movie.
Sci show, reassuring the publics safety since never
rip florida lmao
Can it hit Texas too lol
Hank, You have the perfect amount of existential dread. Oh, wait! I just realized you're the one who first explained existential dread to me! THE CYCLES ARE CYCLICAL, MAN.
1:15 Holy cow, as soon as Hank said "lots of wind" the air conditioning started turning on with a "whoosh" and it kind of scared me
humans be like.... 14 degrees....hmmm.... hold my beer!

O.O
Imagine living through Yellowstone eruption and a hypercane ? and it still wouldn't make daddy proud
Beardy Ry bahahaha
"The mass extinction of 66 million years ago". I remember when it was only 65 million years ago. Wow, time flies...
very insightful considering that we barely know what's happening under our sea.
imagine bleach taking over the world
it has ready.
Lol I literally saw you in Jacob's Sartorius Sweatshirt video
+Eliana Matos I'm everywhere.
+Clorox Bleach 😱 😂
what's up with the youtube conquering bleach lately?
Can you please do a series on the physics of track and field events?! Definitely consider the field events:) like high jump and long jump (my faves)
Haha that smirk at the "hot water" pun
And now I'm terrified. Thanks Hank.
hapening now lol good job hank!
what happens if it crosses the equator, though? Would the storm dicipate or just turn round to maintain angular momentum?
William Midgley I'm far from an expert on such things, but I think it would be impossible for a hurricane to cross the equator in the first place. Just a hunch, though.
I’ve always wondered that
No tropical cyclone survives below 4˚ latitude, because the Coriolis Force becomes negligible, slowing down rotation of the system to the point of dissipation. I'm an airline pilot and teacher of aeronautical meteorology, but trust me not - take a look at FAA, NOAA and WMO stuff, it's all there. =]
Hurricanes can't form too close to the equator but I think they could theoretically cross it because once a hurricane has formed the force balancing the pressure gradient is almost entirely the centrifugal force of rotation, not the Coriolis force. The steering winds in the middle and upper atmosphere would make actual equator crossing very unlikely though. I don't think it has ever happened.
Search Cyclone Agni (2004), an extremely rare tropical cyclone that crossed the equator to about 0.5° S.
love scishow!thanks guys
If they did make a hurricane disaster movie, we can all be sure the rock will grace us with his presence
Isn't this used in "Day After Tomorrow"?
Nah. It was more like reverse hypercane. In "Day After Tommorrow" the upper very cold layer of atmosphere is falling down because Gulf Stream stopped and hot rising air from it is gone. Or something like that, it was total BS either way (I mean if the Gulf Stream magically stopped in this moment it would take at least 40 years to a new Ice Age to occur not few days)
I have to give Hollywood credit for once: a running time of 40 years is indeed too long for a single movie. So it makes sense they shortened that somewhat.
Part of the movie was kind of poking fun at the idea that any of our highly theoretical math is even remotely accurate. We're talking about something that is scientifically entirely plausible, but so catastrophic or unlikely, how could we ever really predict something like that accurately.
We predict things like that fine. Sure our models aren't perfect but they give us at the VERY least an idea of what will happen. We are able to accurately predict what happens when atomic/hydrogen bombs explode. We know we can predict them because our predictions match the results from tests.
The math itself is not theoretical at all. The math is true and must be true. The physics is theoretical. 1+1=2 because humankind said so. The universe has no say in what our 1+1 = 2 does. We are just able to describe the universe with our maths. That is the beauty of maths that people go on about. We decided the rules of maths, and yet the universe seems to be described by our rules in beautifully simple ways. (E=mc^2 for example).
That description can be (and actually is) flawed. But it is accurate enough to model huge storms we observe on Uranus, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune etc. The maths is perfect logic. Our application of math to describe the world is what we call physics. Our physics is theoretical.
blah blah boring bye now
Irma brought me here.
Jerm Stone - it didn't bring me here, but when I saw the title of this video, it sure made me think about it. first Harvey, then when those people need help the most Irma rolls into town like an inlaw from hell.
When your local officials tell you to pray, that's not a good sign.
Wrong, RUclips suggestion algorithms brought you here
Can't argue with that. My interest in Hurricane Irma ended up causing RUclips's algorithms to think I only wanted to watch videos about everything hurricanes.
Benson just wait y'all, Jose is on it's way as well. Southeastern US, and the Caribbean islands to a certain extent, are being f***ed in the ass. First there was Matthew of last year, then there was Harvey, followed up a week later by Irma, and now we have Jose.
Jose is just going to spin out into nothingness in the Atlantic.
This one I won't worry about tonight when I go to bed.
Hypercane just took over the #1 slot on John's list of things that he fears will wipe us out. Ah Aliens, we barely knew thee.
Another hypothetical disaster like the Yellowstone Park super volcano.
It's not hypothetical if we know it's happened and we know super volcanoes have gone off before
Hank you must inform John about this on the podcast... MORE DEATH
Great, another entry for John's Top 10 Existential Crises List :-)
Awesome to see Hank referencing Kerry Emanuel for this episode!! You should totally tackle some more meteorological based episodes!
Is the zombie apocalypse possible because wouldn't they freeze to Death or rot in Extremely hot Climates. Like as long as it doesn't happen in Like fall or spring you could probably escape to a really cold climate or really hot climate pretty easily
+Brian Mills I'm pretty sure the fungi makes the ant return to its colony, so it can spread the the others and make a zombie ant colony. I don't think it can spread past insects
+Patrick O'Sullivan ever heard of the prion. Sci show has a video on it. Look it up
Zombies are just carcass that a host uses to transmit to different things, the zombies would last as long as the body does, I would watch The Film Theorist's video on the Walking Dead to show how long you would need to survive. Also, those things that take over ants are terrifying.
If a zombie apocalypse was ever to happen we wouldn't know what they look like they could be like the ones we see in movies today or they could be like the ones in the 50s just mindless fucks who never get hungry or could just be like normal people just immortal ;)

I think we could tell if they have to bite you. There is going to be some blood around their mouth or where they got bit.
HypercaneSharkNado!
Hypersharknado storm the thrillogy!
Interesting concept. I like the idea.
Hypercanes...
Sounds like the name of a Rockstar-flavoured candy cane with just as much caffiene XDDD
Nah, it'd be Monster or Mtn Dew Kickstart
A little over one year later...
If it happens can we name it Donald ?
Another fun fact of the day, yellowstone national parks volcano is past its due date to erupt, and when it erupts the ashes will be picked up by the winds and ashes will cover the eastern part of America for many years to come, this will effect the whole world tragically because we wouldn't be able to grow food, livestock, etc (oh and part of Canada will be covered in ashes too, which will dramatically lower our maple syrup production) have a great day!
This is honestly a terrifying thought
Who would dislike this video? Meteorology deniers?
4:00 would you say it's a.. Hyperthetical disaster?
I would :)
Yeah!! Hank is back!
`You'll be fine!` ... thanks for the reassurance ;-)
Category 666
I'm watching this video in October 2017, after hurricanes Harvey, Irma, Jose, and Leah have flattened all but the toughest of the US's southwest and gulf coast's buildings. Hurricane Melisma is projected to a new class of "Category 5.5" storm. The U.S. Congress has limited the Executive branch's powers and federalized 40 of the country's most heavily polluting industries. The outbreaks of a civil war are beginning as skirmishes between armed civilian groups dot the country, some escalating to public massacres. The US military has announced it, under Trump, will storm Congress and the Senate to declare martial law. It's unknown how many generals will side with trump. I'll post again after Hurricane Melisma hits. Wish me luck in south Tampa, FL ~Johnny S.K.
FarawayWayfarer lol trump is dumb but that ain't gonna happen lol
ALl of what you said is stupid. Just STOP. STOP.
The M name is Maria.
Followed by Nate, Ophelia, Philippe, Rina, Sean, Tammy, Vince, Whitney. And then, followed by the Greek alphabet. So be worried about Hurricane Alpha.
Jose hasn't done anything to anyone.
Hank, you need to tell John about hypercanes to see where they land on his apocalypse list
the residue of irma's about to hit me this evening. can't believe youre a prophet, hank
In the eye of a Hurricane there is quiet. For just a moment... A yellow sky.
When I was 17 a Hurricane destroyed my town I didn't drown...
I couldn't seem to die.
I wrote my way out. Wrote everything down far as I could see. I wrote my way out. I looked up and the town had its eyes on me. They passed a plate around. And total strangers moved to kindness. By my story. Raised enough for me to book passage on a ship that was New York bound! I wrote my way out of hell I wrote my way to revolution I was louder then the crack in the bell I wrote Eliza love letters until she fell I wrote about the constitution and defended it well! And in the face of ignorance and resistance I wrote finical systems into existence! And when my prayers to god were met with indifference I picked up a pen I wrote my own deliverance! In the eye of a Hurricane there is quiet.
For just a moment. A yellow sky. I was 12 when my mother died, she was holding me, we were sick and she was holding me, I couldn't seem to die.
Wait for it wait for it. I'll write my way out. Wait for it. Write everything down far as I can see. Wait for it-History has it eyes on you. I'll write my way out. Overwhelm them with honesty! This is the eye of the Hurricane, this is the only way I can protect my legacy! Wait for it wait for it wait for it wait!
The Reynolds Pamphlet.
I got carried away...
Yes.... Yes you did
I hope u get cancer
Thanks, Hank
That would be so awesome. I would love to see that
i really appreciate the reassurance at the end lol
i'm sooo excited
I love this guy!
After hurricane Harvey, I believe it's possible. This has been an absolutely insane year for severe hurricanes and weather in general!
That SciShow style )) Weeeee the hypercane! ))
"you'll be fine!" with a thumbs up at the end.
I rode one of those on the planes of strititus once. One of my most fondest memories.
Okay but like I wasn't even thinking about this until you posted the video??? Ahhh. But it's good to know!
Also, I saw somewhere that the ozone might be fixing itself? Is that a thing? Can there be a video about the goings-on of the ozone layer?
Oh please discuss this with John in the podcast, increase his number of apocalyptical scenarios
The book Zero Hour actually uses a man made volcano, sorta, to cause a hypercane in Antarctica. Fans of the A-10 Warthog should also give it a read.
I love this show it's amazing now I'm scared to go to sleep
Whoa! Cool =]
dope animations.
There is already a movie based on Hypercanes they're what cause the disaster in the day after tommorow!
Scishow, can you answer my question?
How do magic fire packets work? Those are the packs that, when you throw them on a fire, changes the fire's colour.
I remember learning about it but forgot hahaha
lol, love the ending
Thanks for the reassurance lol
OH. MY. GOD.
Hank made the song about an anglerfish?!?!?
Day made
Straight to DVD.
In a red box near you, the day after tomorrow
You are the best host.
Disastercane. A storm of disaster theories to increase our worry level.
