I think Kyle is mad cause Vision picked up his hammer
Bruhhh
You mean Thor is mad.
+Emre.D thor hired this dude :D
lol
funny
It's not a phase, this is who I am
Nate Hicks so true
lol 😂
Quantum Tunneling is the probability, right? Scarlet Witch's power is, put simply, the ability to change the probabilities of anything around her. Therefore Scarlet Witch is the quantum superhero, and can theoretically move through objects.
Scarlet Witch can do fucking anything.
@@MySerpentine like changing her accents throughout a movie or inbetween shows
Enchantress and Doctor Strange have demonstrated phasing spells. I never have seen Wanda do so.
So What you are saying is that if I run into a wall, there is still a small chance I'll end up on the other side? Challenge accepted XD
There is a 1 in 4.7446476e+43 possibility of that happening.
@@adriannavarro6417 I'll take those odds
@@seasnek7024 respect
Bruh u wouldn't live long enough to experience the that
Heh, if you had the power to control quantum mechanics, like Manhattan, phasing would be your least cool power.
you know what would be cool? if he could phase some pants on.
+Garth Palmer Yes!! Ahaha!
some of us like #QuantumD
Seriously? Have you never wished to just walk right through a wall? That would be sick
Φίλιππος Κωστόπουλος yeah but not naked
Did you say flash wasn't fast enough
OK look, everyone is missing the point about the Flash thing. My point is that vibration speed doesn't work, full stop. Electrons already move crazy fast and they don't phase. Quantum tunneling is what would have to happen, not vibration, no matter how fast. -- KH
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
in theory though if flash vibrated fast enough couldn't he melt the objects he wanted to travel through? nobody ever seems to question this when they mention the vibrations. however i assume this would be hella dangerous and impractical.
How about this: he vibrates very, very fast - every particle in his body occupy many different spaces in a very short time. Wouldn't that somehow increase the wavelength of their probability wave? If so wouldn't that mean that those particles had much greater chance to be on the other side of the wall thanks to quantum tunneling?
***** Maybe not as gamma radiation, because his atomic structure doesn't change. But if the Speedforce somehow can make his matter not interact with Higgs field that would make him massless. I think...
2:44thats why he's the fastest man alive
I have to disagree with you on this one. From the way you describe quantum tunneling, and I do know a thing or two about quantum physics, the matter tunneling through would simply teleport onto the other side of said wall or bad guy as opposed to moving at a constant speed through the space between the two. Along with the fact that quantum physics typically only applies to members of the quantum realm. (rip Mrs Pym)
I can however pose a different theory. The amount of space both between atoms in molecular structures, as well as within atoms themselves, is massive. There is more empty space in an atom than actual atom parts. The reason that atoms can't move between these spaces, and why we can't walk through walls, is the negative change in electrons; and yes, I do know you touched upon this. The negative charges, while very weak, are like two magnets aimed negative sides at each other. It's hard to touch the two together. However... if you disabled the negative charge, there would be no problem at all moving through a solid object.
But wait! The negative charges are actually what keep atoms together... and they bond molecules... so... if you disable the charges then the entire structure would basically atomize into nothingness... not fun unless you're a villain from James Bond.
So here is the possibility. What if instead of fully cutting off the charge, they just have the ability to reduce it? Lower the electron charge constant within themselves to a perfect balance... right between weak enough to phase through, and strong enough to still hold the molecules together?
Finding this balance would allow the physics of phase shifting to work perfectly.
Chris Michaels Oh my God. Finally! Someone who gets it. Unlike those idiots writing the movies. That crap that was done in "last stand" would have killed the "juggernaut".
I thought the same way as you did! Actually you can "make room" between the atoms in order to pass through. I wish there was technollogy capable of doing that..
Chris Michaels I think vision is more powerful than we think.based on your theory vision can turn anything to nothingness,So this means vision can kill anyone
Chris Michaels I like that.
Chris Michaels I don't know that much about quantum physics, but could we not actually quantumize your theory?, and give them the ability of alter the state of their atoms and any atoms they get into contact with to make their charge negative and neutral at the same time? thus giving them the ability to pass through objects and still retain the shape and properties of both.
#QuantumD
what would happen if something unstoppable runs into some unbreakable and imovable?
#QuantumD
Giggity!
Legend says it's what happens if two Nokias collide
The ability to change mass would make Juggernaut to a perpetuum mobile ?! Sorry for my bad english.
can science explain why I still can't believe it's not butter
No nothing can
placebo effect?
LOL
"I'm stuck in the floor, call the physicists" 😂😂😂😂
No, Barry Allen just ran past platform 9 3/4 and saw wizards passing halfway through a pillar, studied it and was able to do it haha.
I get that.
I kinda remember hearing that Flash phases through walls by quantum tunneling. Not in the show though.
Yeah they said that in one of the Flashs new 52 comica
*comics*
Anthony Jones Ahhh got'cha, I knew I remembered reding it somewhere. Thank you bro
He has also said that he vibrates through things in the new 52.
How does hulks skeleton increase in size and density?
Good question..
Same way he heals, accelerated cell division. The Hulk has a different genetic makeup than Bruce Banner, his genes tell his body to build itself differently and since he has massively accelerated cell division the rebuilding of the body to match his genetic blueprint happens very quickly.
+NoIfsAndsOrButtsCA what about the reverse.process?

So how do his cells get the calories to make those divisions so fast?
Bruce Banner must eat like 10 cows a day!
Funny enough that by this time the Flash was canonically confirmed to have total control over 'all of his atoms' to the point that he could resist something akin to molecular disintegration.
worst part about being this early is waiting for the next episode
YES IKR
True, but I usually read EVERY COMMENT the first day, respond, and look for new episode ideas. -- KH
+Nerdist the comment section is always fun
The smart guy with the good hair replied life complete
I can't imagine a world where 'Because Science' didn't exist, must suck to live in an alternate universe where it doesn't. Nerdist was the answer I needed back when G4TV / Attack of the Show / etc went off air. Ya'll the best!
If you're stuck in the floor, you don't need a physicist. You need to finish that game of Jumanji you started.
What about if Flash did something like Silver Surfer where he travels back in time to where the object wasn't there and then travels back into the present on the other side?
Mike Kenny man ain't nobody be doin that
Mike Kenny Zoom did that
Mike Kenny Then he didn't phased. He opened a wormhole on one side and came out of an other wormhole in the other side
Mike Kenny hm...intresting theory
Wait... He *does* that??? Oh dang I didn't know that.
In a way quantum tunneling also explains the extra abilities of the heroes you just mentioned like the way that flash is able to "phase" through time or the way that kitty "phases" people's minds through time or even just vision's existence in general.
My superpower is just putting a door into any object. BOOM

They should cover nightcrawler's teleportation
YESSSS!!!
All nightcrawler does is travel into the brimstone dimension for a few seconds and reappear in the normal dimension anywhere along his field of vision.
LOL i was thinking in Nightcrawler's teleportation the whole video!
hi
i believe he did already.
When he's in the floor: Keep phasing until you're on the level beneath you.
Does this mean that the improbability drive from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy is actually very likely a quantum telaportation drive?
dustin pickert
oh my!
Omg, I think so! Watching this video and reading your comment, now I get how that improbability drive is supposed to work.
Of course it is. It's even hinted at in the book: The book states that for the drive to work you need to calculate the exact probability that the ship is currently at the point you want to reach and once you switch the drive off, you are there. So in quantum-physics terms you would say that you calculate a non-local wave-function spanning the whole universe and then collapse it towards your target value.
And as a little bit of trivia: As I heard the story, the improbability drive wasn't in the book at first. But in the scene when Ford and Arthur are thrown out of an airlock, Douglas Adams was stuck. For days he couldn't think of ANY way how to save them from that. At some point - just for fun - he tried to calculate how improbable it would be for them to be rescued - and voila - the heart of gold was born and became one of the most important things in the whole series.
@@LutzHerting You mean it wasn't in the radio show, that came first
Fun fact! Quantum tunneling is how the sun actually harnesses fusion. The pressure and heat in the sun isn't quite enough to actually fuse hydrogen atoms, the only reason that it actually fuses is because the particles quantum tunnel into each other.
can u do an episode on shape shifters if u havent
I second that idea
I third that idea
i like that
like how mystique's clothes come out of no where when she changes form.
I would just simply be, they affect how light reflects off them, making the appearances different. Mystique doesn't change at all, it just looks like she changes.
Great video! The MCU’s best visual example of Solids was when Ronin’s ship was pressing against the Nova Corps mesh in Guardians of the Galaxy. Them bonds, boy.
I mean, bending Quantum Physics to his own will, isn't too big of a stretch for the Flash. He already bends space and time for his own benefit... Sure, it's not the explanation they gave... But I still feel it would be possible given his power set.
You clearly don't know what you're talking about. Quantum mechanics trumps everything else. Also, he should not be able to bend space and time because spacetime does not exist, time would be self-referential. I don't want to explain this because it is pointless because nobody here would understand it.
No but Barry has the speed Force
The Rising Rebel the speed force is the shittiest deus ex machina power
In The Flash - Stop Motion book/Graphic Audio adaptation it's explained how the flash isn't what he thinks. He's a quantum warrior that's capable of things beyond his imagination. He only moves his legs while moving the speeds he does because he thinks he needs to. He believes he can and wills it to happen but he's limited by the capacity of his human brain. I will go on to say that he does get some access to what he's really capable of but I won't spoil more on principle.
xXC.T.BXx is it difficult being an obnoxious piece of shit?
Isn't The Flash's phasing the equivalent of rubbing your face against a wall really fast?
That would, um, destroy your face. -- KH
Exactly.
+Nerdist the reason why the flash's clothes don't come of is because the suit is vibrating at the same frequency as his body hence them not being able to fall of.BOOM!!
+Nerdist the way the flash can 'vibrate' through walls is he basically breaks through the dimensional barrier just before he hits the wall then goes into a small dimensional pocket and comes back out again faster than the human or should I say meta-human brain can comprehend but he comes back out of the dimensional pocket in front of the wall.BOOM!!!!!!! vision and kitty prime though I have no Idea how they can do this it would make sense if vision had the reality gem In his forehead instead of the mind gem because then he would be able to warp reality but maybe the mind gem can do a mind illusion that makes it look like he has gone through the wall or... something DOUBLE BOOM!!!!!!!!!! kitty prime on the other hand I think is plausible because she moves her atoms through the gaps between the atoms instead of just going through the atoms TRIPLE BOOM!!!!!!!
Evan Duggan The gaps between atoms? THE GAPS BETWEEN ATOMS? If the whole reason Kitty can phase through walls is because she moves between atoms then anyone could do that by pressing up against a wall and moving a little.
And about the Vision. What's the point of making it look like you're phasing through walls? He's clearly a smart guy. He probably understands the uselessness of doing that. The only reason he (or any other mental powered individuals) would realistically do that is to make himself appear more powerful, not to invade Scarlet Witch's bedroom.
The Flash's well known form of phasing is vibration which is why it is explored in the video. I've never heard of him doing what you say he's doing.
About Flash's clothes. If he's phasing through atoms why wouldn't his clothes come off? He's superpowered not his suit. There's also still space between him and his suit. If he vibrated at those high speeds he would not only get super chafed but his suit would get destroyed.
Go back to your Legos.
Would y'all be interested in talking with me about today's episode (and anything else)? Haven't done this before, but if you like here, I'll Periscope for 30min and reply here when we're live. -- KH
Wow I'm super early...love your show! 😋
#QuantumD
Wait so there's a chance of me falling through my floor?......My above average IQ brain has a headache......
+SlySpyKurt don't worry. The chances of that happening are so small OH GOD MY LEGS!!!!!!
so regarding kitty's abilities and how you explained they should work, does that also explain how she can send wolverine back in time?
You know you just made accidental clipping in video games (yes yes fictional but still..) totally legit. No no, that npc did not just clip through their desk, they quantum tunneled.
I found this channel yesterday and I CANNOT STOP WATCHING
6:08 So what happens when Thor's hammer is resting on a table (like the very fragile looking glass table in Stark's skyscaper), and you break the table?
Would the hammer fall to the ground?
Would the hammer keep falling through the floor until it hit the bottom (or the center of the earth)?
Would it just keep floating in mid air (since no one worthy has moved it?
Would gravity not be worthy enough?
If the hammer is affected by gravity, would someone with telekinetic powers be able to lift it by manipulating gravity?
Why was Captain America able to move the hammer a tiny bit when he is really a hydra agent?
Check the episode on Thor's Hammer. When it's not being manipulated by someone, the hammer behaves like a regular hammer.
Actually these two questions are pretty good - ( I'd really like someone to answer 'em~ )
♦ Would gravity not be worthy enough?
♦If the hammer is affected by gravity, would someone with telekinetic powers be able to lift it by manipulating gravity?
He actually tackled this topic in his video about if Kylo Ren could move Thor's hammer.
Because Captain America is very strong?
+DrearyPlane8 He's only as strong as a peak Olympic athlete. In the realm of Marvel, he's not very strong at all. Spider-man and Wolverine are both physically stronger.
I really enjoy watching these videos, I don't necessarily understand all the theories in certain videos, however, your videos are really enjoyable to watch.
Another problem with being able to walk through walls is you would also just fall through the floor and ground the moment you attempt to go through a wall since you activated your body to be able to pass through any solid you’d also pass through the ground as well since you can’t really just tell your atoms to only pass through the solid wall but not the solid ground. So in order to successfully be able to just walk through walls you’d also have to have the ability to levitate or fly, so when you turn on the ability to pass through solids you also hover a inch or two off the ground at the same time then move forward.
wait
if he just popped on the other side of the wall
wouldnt the air aroun his initial place
collapse on the space left?
dumbass it’s microscopic
Astroblaze the Reality Traverser I meant that unless your running at extremely fast speed your entire body wouldn’t pop to the other side only a few molecules at a time
By a few I mean a lot but you get what I mean
The flash probably phases with the speed force
But remember,he isnt completely gone. He would take the place pf the air he teleports into,pushing it,eventually pushing air into the displaced area
The outro reminds me of a paradox: what would happen if an unstoppable object (Juggernaut) meets an unmovable object (Mjölnir)? Gotta be a future episode.
I have to do this now. -- KH
+Nerdist Hype!!!!!
Would there be a cancellation of force? If I remember correctly, Mjolnir is forged from a neutron star (super dense) so it would depend on the max velocity at which the Juggernaut can achieve to convey his near limitless momentum into contact with the hammer.
Unstoppable Juggernaut v. Immovable Blob. That would be a good show down
+Jamie Spence Remember what Kyle said about Juggernaut? It's not about the velocity of Juggernaut. It's about his mass. When you see him smashing through the walls in X-Men? He's running pretty much at the same normal speed as a human. So he must be able to change his mass, or weight, in order to be unstoppable when running at full speed. I can't fully remember so correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Mjölnir used against the Hulk to try and pacify him on that huge floating aircraft carrier in Avengers Assemble? Pretty sure if Mjölnir can lay the smack down on Hulk, it'll take more than just Juggernaut's velocity to be moved.
As a Quantum Mechanics aficionada, I'd be lying if I told you this episode didn't phase me! ;)
Double-slit experiment, what what!
I let the smart guys do the math, but the concepts or principles are fascinating!
+roguecactus7 and gals ;)
I have observed this comment, but I don't get it.
Yes, Quantum Mechanics, and puns, I found heaven !
wouldn't it be easier to phase through a solid object if you somehow temporarily nutralized the electrons in your body? or even better you could locally null out the third law of physics.
3:40 a better understanding I've developed reading Flash all these years is this: Barry constantly gets into trouble with altering time, jumping in and out of dimensions, phasing into a different reality in general (going to another universe), which is all technically due to vibrations. Theoretically, by string theory, Barry actually CAN shift the vibrations of the strings in his atoms, allowing him to momentarily shift out of phase with the reality he is in, and reappear on the other side of the space at the same frequency of the universe.
If we consider De Broglie waves then wouldn't Flash's speed be high enough that his whole body can act as a short-wavelength particle wave which can then lead to the Quantum Tunneling. Basically could his speed still be a factor?
1:51
AH! SPACE PHASE!!
The new surprise lightsaber -- KH
genetically enhanced
Whenever I've read about flash phasing through stuff, not today, not yesterday but ages ago, I've always seen the term Quantum Tunneling associated with it.
Regarding Cyclops, his sight and glasses - the Marvel Comics Wiki (which contains information that is all OFFICIALLY released) covers how his visor and glasses work.
Basic gist is: The ruby quartz lenses filter out and block the energy beams (from the pocket dimension hidden behind and access through his eyes) whilst letting him see the world around him safely, just with a red tint to everything. The visor has a panel of the ruby quartz that is angled up (visor open) or down (visor closed) by small motors controlled by touching the ear cups on either side, with springs to provide positive pressure and keep the panel down (fail-safe shutoff if the motors stop working for whatever reason).
Cyclops eyes are portals to another dimension with an infinite amount of energy. His body is emitting a special bionic field that closes those portals upon contact (that's why he doesn't lose his eyelids when he closes his eyes) Ruby-Quartz lens in his glasses and visor act like a conductor of this field, clothing portals even when his eyes are open.
Now do you see why I try to come up with simpler, more realistic answers to stuff? That sh** sounds crazy to me. -- KH
Yeah, I see why: because science :D
holy fuck that's epic....
+Nerdist please explain juggernauts ability's
Dude it sounds more awesome than the simpler way.
is it bad that I laughed way too hard at the joke at the end?
I'll allow it. -- KH
In answer to the Cyclops question, Scott's eye-beams are blasts of force that come through wormholes in his eyes. The glasses contain quartz crystals that act as a filter to only let in certain frequencies of light. The wormholes only open in response to certain frequencies of light, so all the glasses have to do is filter out those frequencies in order to "turn off" Cyclops' powers. In other words, he can see because the glasses only filter out certain colors while allowing others to pass through. So what he sees through them is strangely colored (in the comics it looks kind of yellow or orange) but still plenty clear enough to allow him to go through everyday life.
4:36 Also, in the comics it's said that Flash has complete control over all of his atoms, so this would actually work.
I think you should explain more about cyclop's powers more and what does he see while blasting everything with his optic blast..Yeah, if cyclops is not wearing his ruby lens glasses? Is he seeing everything red while blasting everybody ? So confusing.
By the way, thanks for uploading because science, I learned many awesome things because of this show..... Kyle, you ROCK
How doesn't his optic blast just go right through his eyelids?
+Ricky Khau okay his blasts from his eyes are not laser they are a concussive blast and his body just like havoc a has a sort of energy field as explained in the comics so when he closes his eyes it doesn't blow them off. As you can see in apocalypse when he first gets his powers it doesn't melt the stall door and doesn't kill the bully but knock him back and crumbles the ceiling not melting it.
+Carter Boltz Sweet, thanks for the answer.
Thanks that helped a lot.
I though in one of the comics they state his "laser vision" was that his eyes were some kind of portal thingy in which the laser comes through but not his purple but parts of the iris.
In Injustice 2 Flash’s phase IS called quantum tunneling
The end of the vid is what gets me.I seriously just asked a few days ago, why don't the phasers just fall through the floor or ground. And when they lift their feet to phase through, is gravity not pulling them down? And the heroes aren't always just hopping through the walls.
"Do you know how fast electrons (which is why 2 solids don't pass through each other in the first place), do you know how fast electrons wiggle? They wiggle fast enough to circle the Earth in 13 seconds. They already twerk this hard and they aren't passing through objects. I'm not passing through other objects. So, what do you think increasing your speed a little bit is gonna do, Barry?"
Barry can, theoretically, move his electrons faster than that. The idea is that there exists a moment where particles are positioned in such a way that Barry's atoms can fit between (and move through) them. The heat/energy created by his vibrations essentially pushing him forward and disrupting the atomic structure of the object he's moving through. Going through objects is usually a slower process (very rarely does he go through something quickly, and it's kind of luck) in order to "fit" through these gaps.
As for why clothes doesn't come off - the speed force creates an energy around him that protects him. It's the reason people don't burn up when he carries them out of a burning building, or why he doesn't die from coming to complete stops after running at such high speeds and his brain bounces off of his skull.
Thx 5year old comment hope your still alive
If I may offer an explanation as to why Juggernaut can't lift Thor's Hammer:
Juggernaut isn't the brightest bulb, I think, assuming his powers are graviton based, he wouldn't realize he had such gravitational powers, because it happens so innately for him whenever he's on the move. So yes, he may have gravitation powers, but since he's always used them to, well, be the Juggernaut, he'd never think to apply them in any other fashion, because he doesn't have the frame of mind to even realize that his powers function so.
I think it's because it doesn't matter, isn't the question always about worthiness and not about the actual weight of the hammer? Otherwise any scrub could pick it up in outer space...
Thiago Freitas
True, but I think what Kyle was getting at is that once the "worthiness" detector was activated by Juggernaut's "unworth", as Mjolnir increases it's local gravity to make itself heavier, if Juggernaut could control gravitons, then he could combat Mjolnir but decreasing the gravity around it by an equal amount, thus canceling out both forces and therefore Mjolnir would become a simple hunk of metal on a stick, and thus be lifted and wielded by him.
That would work; however, I'm arguing that it's not whiten Juggernaut's nature to realize that his powers are gravity based,(if they are) and therefore, he wouldn't think up the aforementioned solution, nor would he have the mental focus to constantly fight Mjolnir in order to bypass its security feature and wield it in battle.
Keimori that is still assuming the hammer's threshold of power is smaller than the Juggernaut's, which is unknown. Considering some of the beings that have failed to lift it, it's pretty safe to assume the hammer's potential to alter it's gravitational field is infinite, whereas almost no mutant has "infinite" power. Even if the Juggernaut keeps altering the gravity around it, the hammer could just counter it, right?
Thiago Freitas
Oh Absolutely. If Mjolnir's limits are beyond Juggernaut's by even a small fraction, the point is moot and Mjolnir stays right where it was laid down.
He can't move the hammer because the hammer doesn't move. The universe moves around the hammer.
I'd like to know how slo-mo drug from Judge Dredd works.
I would guess the drugs are altering the brain's perception of time, effectively increasing our "frame rate." -- KH
Thanks for answering my question :)
Yo I'd try a drug that made me see like a Phantom camera. -- KH
+Nerdist But if something you couldn't avoid hited you, it would be frustrating to see it coming and won't been able to do something
Wouldn't something like that have to speed up the neurological signals being sent to your brain to the point where everything moving at normal speed is going in slow motion similar to how the flash or quicksilver see things when they're going at their super speeds? Although that in theory would then trigger your fight or flight response faster not necessarily to the point where you can dodge bullets but maybe catch an arrow or dodge a punch if you're trained enough to do so
Right! I didnt understand a single word of this explanation but....thanks for explaining it anyways! Love this channel!
Kitty pride (hopefully spelled right) says that she could move her atoms through the spaces between other atoms
So, what if she could debond every single atom in her body for a moment (in case they dont expand and move around to just vaporise her), so her atoms can pass other atom structures? I dont know if there is enough space inside atom structures to move every atom through it, but she has to be able to control the movement of her atoms, so they dont hit other atoms (its really rare, but its possible)
"All incarnations of the Flash can move, think, and react at light speeds as well as having superhuman endurance that allows them to run incredible distances. Some, notably later versions, can vibrate so fast that they can pass through walls in a process called quantum tunneling, travel through time and can also lend and borrow speed. Furthermore, all members have an invisible aura around their bodies that prevents themselves and their clothes from being affected by air friction as they move at high speed." SCIENCE !!!!!!! XD
being able to travel around the planet in 13 seconds is flash on a serious slow day but Professor Zoom explains that he doesn't phase by vibrating he uses quantum tunneling and apparently its why he is able to cause city shaking shockwaves just by snapping his fingers,and the reason you can't lift mjonir, no matter what you think or try and deduce with real world physics and science, is because of the enchantment put on it by Odin, if you aren't worth in his eyes you can't lift it, its pretty much magic, you just CANT lift it no matter how strong you are, you can have infinite strength but it still wouldn't help(BTW Odins worthiness is based on how much of a warrior you are in battle, hence why cap was able to lift it during a war, and how superman was able to lift it during a battle
I came across a topic like this quantum mechanics back in the 90s while in high school reading the Death Gate Cycle describing how the Patryns "magic" worked. Basically based on mathematics and probabilities.
What I got out of that, is that phasing through objects is just probability based teleportation, they aren't going through the object, they are just appearing on the other side. But there's a chance of it, and those people are just able to give themselves a higher chance of teleporting, while the example ball had the set chance.
Sooo, all phasing supers boil down to Quantum Leap? Get Scott Bakula on the phone!
oh boy
Question: if you cut dead pool exactly in half, would he regenerate into 2 different people?
no, the side with his heart would regenerate and the other side would die
This is in an upcoming episode! -- KH
Likewise, if you cut his head off.. Does the head regenerate a new body, and heart, or does his body regenerate a new head, and brain?
Wouldn't he try to attach the 2 halves together and then let the healing factor do the rest?
Flash has won a race against aliens who had instantaneous teleportation
I had always assumed that phasing had more to do with altering the electromagnetic field of an object (or person) so that the field's no longer interacted. This would fit the effects shown better than quantum tunneling. My understanding comes from the name "Phasing" in that electrical waves have a phase, but there are different kinds of electrical phases. Time shift electrical phases still interfere with each other so that wouldn't work, unless the hero was altering their electromagnetic field for each electron (and proton) in their body. Polarity phasing is like the polarity of light and the waves interfere a lot less. Normally electrical charges have no polarity, (or have random polarity, I'm not sure) but if you were able to induce opposite polarities in yourself and the object you were attempting to travel through, it conceptually would work. It's just that we have no way of inducing polarity in whole objects.
Could the Juggernaut trip over Mjolnir? This has probably been covered in the comics somewhere.
I'm going to have to do this anyway! -- KH
+Nerdist hello I know this might be a dumb question but energy can change into many different forms and that matter can equal energy or famous equation m=mc2 so I was wondering if somehow the superhero can change its molecular structure into energy and pass through objects but the reason I think that why it might have been a dumb question is because that the energy inside the amount of matter in a person is so much it could be equivalent to an atomic bomb but if you like to look into it it will be nice if you could. :-)
"They already twerk this hard" LMAOOOO
I feel like further exploration of each of these heroes using quantum tunneling would be entertaining, like how Kitty affects technology...also, Blob VS. JUGGERNAUT!
Thank God. This was keeping me up at night
I have this feeling that Kyle is alone in that room.
Just me and my camera dude. -- KH
+Nerdist I love watching your videos and learning from you , but do you have a camera operator ( a camera dude) ? Or it's just you and your camera, dude? Sincerely asking. #BecausePunctuation
I write and produce everything in the show. I have one camera dude, and one fantastic editor who does the animations. That's pretty much it. -- KH
Kyle: That’s not how phasing works!!
My mind, switching to MTG mode: oh yeah fantasy science!!!
Kyle: *proceeds to talk about phasing through walls*
My brain, still in MTG mode: ?!?
You and the CW show used the old explanation for how Flash phases. The new explanation makes a lot more sense, and ties into how he can travel to other dimensions. He changes the vibrational patterns of his stings(strings as in string theory, not thread)so that he's phasing partly out of one reality and into another one without the obstacle he's going through.
During the movie X-Men: Days of Future Past, Kitty Pryde sent Wolverine's consciousness back to his past. It made me think her abilities were of the Quantum level myself. If she had even slight control over particles on the quantum level it would both explain how she phases through walls and was able to send a mind to the past. The walls as you said are a product of manipulating a version of Quantum tunneling.
But I think she used a version of Quantum Entanglement to patch the state of all of Wolverine's future mind and entangle them to the state of Wolverine's past self. Thus she was able to temporarily overwrite the past Wolverine's brain. And then because the effects of entanglement go both ways, she allowed the outside impulses (stimulation like sight, sound, and other senses) to affect the state of the future Wolverine's brain to allow future Wolverine to function in the past Wolverine's body.
U say nothing can go thru other things? What about neutrinos? Neutrinos are particles that pass thru mass without any interference all the time every day...because science.
Amber Littlefield yeah well the flash is not made up of neutrinos...
parag basu he is made up of matter thru which neutrinos pass so technically as neutrinos are passing thru his matter the Flash he would be partly made up of neutrinos.
Amber Littlefield yep
The point is, the Flash is not made of neutrinos- the particle that can pass through matter. Therefore, The Flash cannot pass through matter because he is not made of neutrinos. He is made up of the normal matter that neutrinos go through.
Neutrinos are particles with a mass close to zero that rarely react to normal matter, the Flash is made of normal matter which has significantly greater mass, and interacts with other normal matter on a regular basis.
"so technically as neutrinos are passing thru his matter the Flash he would be partly made up of neutrinos" Not how that works. If that was the case he would be traveling at speeds almost exactly the speed of light (speed at which neutrinos move) when he phases.
Nathaniel Hebert Flash is made of neutrinos when he recieved the speedforce
The flash isn't fast enough?!?! Did you just say that!
loving your explanation about phasing and juggernaut at the end of the video. i think we're on the same page here.
My superpower is throwing a literal wall of bricks.
Why someone wants to pass trough solid things? You just need to use explosives
Flash can run around the earth less than a second though...
Not in the show.
Yep too bad for him..
not yet you mean he hasnt reached his full potential
Even then, no matter how fast he vibrates his body, it's still impossible for him to phase through stuff. He was giving that example because he's telling you how fast electrons are basically doing what The Flash does, and yet they still don't phase through each other. He wasn't saying The Flash wasn't fast enough.
more like a atom second
idk how i came to find this channel but i like it.
4:04 Dr Christmas face lol
You have to shrink between the molecules...
Not really possible . . . Sorry to burst your bubble, but ill give you a straw (;
+DoublA8 Ant-man reference buddy...
+Christian Nava but ant man doesnt make his atoms smaler just make the distance beetween them smaler
so how can he be the size of an atom if he has so many atoms at normal size?
Oh and btw if he was that compact that would make a black hole (i think)
+Ricardo alves game theory made a entire video about that
What if Thor threw Mjolnir when Juggernaut ran towards Thor?
Oh god you just nerd-sniped me. Back in 3 days with an answer. -- KH
Damnit now I have to do this. -- KH
+felix novak a black hole.
+Nerdist It's a classic law of motion mind puzzle
The thing that always gets me about mutants, etc. phasing through solid objects is how do they not fall into the ground? While Kitty Pride is running through walls she should also go through the floor. And when she phased Juggernaut into the floor and left him stuck there, shouldn't that have killed him - getting concrete, rebar, etc. merged with the atoms of his body?
What about J'onn J'onzz?
Also, of the three examples you gave in this episode, Kitty Pride's explanation is the most plausible sounding outside of Quantum Tunneling, even if it is wrong.
must have been a fun night at the Nerdist office when in that one episode of the Flash, they made it where Barry made that whole train phase through that wall of debris.
everything from normal people turning to dust, or why the train stayed on its tracks rather than just dropping through the earth itself.
yeah, super hokey
How can Flash phase through stuff?
Speed Force
Lol electrons circle the earth in 13 seconds?? The flash circles the earth 7 times in 1 second...
Nick The Greek 7,7*
uhhhhhhhhh i don't think even savitar could do that....
but if he could travel that fast he could be gone before he circles the earth the 7th time and he will be in "Different Universe/Time"
@@ChizuDesu_ I think he means that referring to the comic version
You talking about Quantum mechanics, made me think and wonder... about Doctor Who's Weeping Angels and their quantum lock defense mechanism... would be interesting for a theory explanation.
You know I love this channel
I'd just like to point out that, in the comics, the Flash is light speed. He's faster than electrons. Does that change anything?
Faster than light speed even.
Does light pass through walls just like that? No
LAW ninetynine ... That is so far away from the point we're discussing.
If Flash was faster than electrons then he wouldn't be having electrons, instead it would be left behind him, his limit does exist.
Going 'faster' then light speed would send you back in time, not make you move faster. If you were moving fast enough to effect the electrons in an object you interact with so dramatically, the electrons in your body would be completely destroyed first. This show is about science, bro.
also you forgot martian manhunter
I now have new nicknames for Vision now, and I thank you for that
You forgot John Jones (marsian manhunter, that dude)
CookieFreakHD well this theory works for him as Martians have full physic control over every atom In there body
So r u saying that the flash isnt fast enough to vibrate like that
no.... i doesnt matter how fast you are. vibration doesnt work like that and allow you to pass through walls
Actually it is canon that the Flash can move at least as fast as light, so he can vibrate faster than electrons move. But it still wouldn't enable him to phase through walls.
Maybe he actually does it with the time travel. He time travels for a short time, to when that object isn't there, then comes back when he comes out the other side?
Than in some cases he must time travel years or even centuries to phase through a tree or a rock. Besides, he is shown to phase only parts of his body - I think that would kill him.
or just a couple of moments because the earth is constantly moving by both spinning and moving in its orbit.
In Visions case, his body act like it’s fully material. He has shown himself to completely ignore momentum and have sudden inertia to be immovable and indestructible. When he’s phasing, like like his body is somehow becoming like an energy or a particle, but since he seems to have such control over the physical forces around his body, he doesn’t fall through the floor, since he also appears to control his own weight. In a way he could also work like Thor’s hammer supposedly does, manipulating particle that control forces.
As for the Flash, his powers allow him to break the laws of physics through his connection to the extra dimensional Speed Force. In a way he’s not fully a part of this universe when using his powers, but he doesn’t seem to be able to do this all of the time as it might harm him somehow if he keeps disassociating himself with reality. The old Justice League cartoons even showed that Flash could be completely merged into the Speed Force and essentially be lost forever if he used his powers to the extremes.
"call a physicist!" xd that got me good!
I AM SO MUCH FUCKING SMARTER NOW!
Quantum do you mean nuka cola quantum?
huh?
Nuka Cola quantum is potentially good.
HGGdragon dude did you never play fallout 3,4?
Hello Kyle, I am really nitpicking here, but the graphic you show at 4:00 ist partially incorrect, as it assumes that the barrier leaves the probability density left and right of the barrier, and even within the barrier unchanged. I am slightly rusty when it comes to this stuff, but as I recall the formula for the tunneling probability of a partical that has a mass unequal zero, the probability density to find said particel decreases exponentially within the barrier und as a result causes also a reduced probability density on the other side of the barrier. That said, awesome video.
Can you a do a video regarding Dr. Manhattan? Specifically an explanation on what happened and how he became the way he was?
I actually like this episode a lot. However quantum tunnelling isn't great explained. Could get a bit more into details, how it could be used...
Why would he get into more detail if 95% of the audience doesn't know much about basic quantum physics to begin with?
OmerFY Well... like that he could just claim, that this or that "is science".
I don't mean, to get totally into the topic in all details... but just a popular science explanation.
Dominik MJ If anyone doubts the things he says or is not satisfied with the explanations he gives, they can use the internet to further educate themselves on the topic. These videos are supposed to be between 5-15 mins long.
OmerFY Yeah... as I said, I don't request a full scientific exploration. Just a bit of an explanation..
unfortunately it takes about an half an hour to give even basic explanation. In order to understand quantum tunnelling actually means, you need to have basic knowledge of what a wave function is and what Schroedinger's wave equation means (aka how wave function changed with time). There is no short cut, because quantum mechanics is completely counter-intuitive - there no common knowledge that you can rely on during explanation.
