If after the intro you’re curious, just searching “Strange Matter” on RUclips will give you some pretty good results! Also while theoretically a strange matter impact on Earth would doom us immediately, that wouldn’t be as fun to make an Arma op out of so once again suspend your disbelief and enjoy the cube.
i think a better scenario would have been the organic/metallic virus of the Andromeda strain, and its unofficial sequel, Andromeda Evolution. this op very much gave me those vibes.
you wanna know what i went through? strange matter to ice-nine to kuru (disease) to the fore people of papua new guinea to endocannibalism to a very minor hindu sect to charnel grounds to sky burials to various burial practices and tibetan buddhist iconography/traditions. what the fuck. thank you jay and your comment section.
Its amazing to see my mods getting more and more use, you people need better taste :P Its also very nice to see Broken Shield assets being used, JC the man who worked on it passed away and is the main reason JCA exists. Thanks for using his stuff!
@@RubixRaptor Aye, JCA would simply never exist without him, although it worked out and matched the name, the "JC Arms" on the receiver of the M4A1 is a reference to the person, JC980, rather than the JointCom Arsenal. I hope you enjoyed it, i wish he got to see what he brought about being used. thank you
this just made me realize how both insane and fitting it'd be to see Ignis as like, the FBC. Federal Bureau of Control. i can forsee the bits, like Alan wake appearing only to get tossed across a continent by Arma physics. Rubix getting slammed through a building by a safe with telekinetic powers. a fridge killing an entire battalion of men
Once again, Ignis is battling unknown Extra Terrestrial anomalies far beyond mortal comprehension which will likely result in high casualties and untold suffering. My Favorite kind of video.
For some reason, *everyone* could spontaneously summon an infinite number of folding chairs Which, while hilarious, was also comically useless and got several people killed in ARMA physics fashion
"I'm not just gonna kill my teammates. Who do you think I am? The Ignis Artillery Section?" *Daemonic Cube Noises* "You know what, you talked me into it!"
so, the long and short of it is that Strange matter is Baryonic matter (aka, normal stuff) that replaces one of the two up quarks in a neutron with a strange quark. normally the resulting Baryon is unstable, however, it has a lower energy state than a neutron. this is a big deal because nature wants to reach the lowest energy state possible in any system. this has resulted in a theory that I will call "Strange Cascade" where due to quantum mumbo jumbo a significantly large enough mass of strange mater (enough to be stable) could cause normal baryonic mater to effectively collapse into more strange mater in a cascading chain reaction that could fundamentally change how matter operates in the effected area, resulting in unknown consequences.
@@damoclesecoe7184 In layman’s terms, it’s a bit like a grey goo scenario. Normal matter that comes into contact with strange matter is, itself, converted into strange matter. The effect is self-propagating with no known limit. Because strange matter likely functions differently to normal matter, life as we know it would be unable to survive conversion. Strange matter landing on Earth would gradually convert the entire planet and kill every single living thing, down to the most infinitesimally small organism. Hilariously enough, this video presents the scenario as significantly LESS horrifying than if it happened in real life.f
Honestly, sending Ignis to fight a Neil DeGrasse Tyson fever dream is probably the best choice, their brains are too smooth to comprehend that things are beyond their comprehension.
Kurzgesagt actually has a really nice and easy to follow video on strange matter and how it's a possible existential threat theorized to exist in neutron stars due to the extreme (think near the beginning of the universe extreme) conditions in the core breaking down regular matter into quark soup and then turning the quarks into strange quarks that make up strange matter. Anyway love your vids man and enjoy your weekend!
3:34 Average grunt being immune to cognito hazards because they only have the brain capacity to kill bad guys and eat XD Also, it seems that Snail was this op's designated Bad Luck Holder XD
this is honestly incrediple i love the unique little world ops you guys create even more thne the normal RPs cause the writing is simple but good and just adds to you guys comedy
This is an interesting twist, because the results of a strange matter “infection” in real life would actually be MORE horrifying than what happens in this video.
The intro really makes me think it'd be awesome to do an XCOM-themed Arma Op. I guarantee you'll have a better accuracy rating than any of my XCOM teams.
Hey Rubix!! Wanna start off by saying I ADORE you’re content! I was having a hell of a rough week, but this just instantly made my day better! Thank you for all that you do, and never stop being amazing! Also id like to make a suggestion for ignis, that being SCP-001 “When day Breaks” I have zero idea how it could be implemented, but it’s by far my favorite XK-Class Scenario and I think you’d have a fucking BLAST with it! Anyways, have a wonderful day and I can’t wait to see more from ya!
I curse you with constant single strand of hair in mouth for sending me down the Strange Matter Particle Physics rabbit hole. I spent 4 hours researching this shit. Best 4 hours of frantic gamersupps fueled autistic research I've had in the past year. 5 quarks out of 4 quarks, would research the concept of strageness given physical form again.
so strange matter, very strange, weird even what is even stranger is that there are people who figured it out and somehow even made calculations about it even though we never actually observed it
Ah yes, strange matter. Properties so wild that we can only theorize how they function. Yeah uhhh strange matter deserves to be a keter SCP, like hands down..
You missed an opportunity to quote Optimus Prime's speech from the beginning of Transformers. It would have been quite funny for when the first you see the cube you hear the deep voice chanting and overlayed with it is Optimus saying "Before time began, there was - The Cube."
due to time zone related shenanigans plus the naturally unhinged content, I've realized these videos have become my new saturday morning cartoons. Lovely
i like this relatively whacky strange matter event more than the horrifying cosmic-grey-goo scenario that was explained to me in that one khurzgesagt video
Not only do we have the usual entertainment, but you have now spawned some mnemonic abomination that will have no doubt sent a few viewers into a learning curve of theoretical horrors in the cosmos. From someone already in the know, well done my good sir.
Damn I haven't heard that microsoft sam voice in such a long time... always played with it as a kid lol. "You have selected Microsoft Sam as your computers default voice"
10:50 and i was thinking that he will make a heroic thing and put a Mine there... or blew himself like a hero up. Like this heroic Taurox Driver in this gigantic Warhammer Tankbattle that take out a Enemy Baneblade if i remember it right...
I love how even in the 21st century, we're still using slideshows for briefings on extraterrestrial encounters. EDIT: Jay: "Next week, we're gonna deal with something TRULY AWFUL!" Jay, do you have the slightest idea at how little that narrows it down?

i think a better scenario would have been the organic/metallic virus of the Andromeda strain, and its unofficial sequel, Andromeda Evolution. this op very much gave me those vibes.
You say that, but a regular and seemingly non modded op suddenly being interrupted by the whole earth exploding seems pretty fun to me.
Using the group's immediate reaction to the "Mission Completed!" against them was some Tzeentchian-level diabolicalness
The single most genius thing I've ever seen in the creation of an ARMA op. Someone deserves an award for that.
4:59 There's bound to have been at least one casualty from everyone seeing that.
The into sent me down a 30 minute long rabbit hole about strangelets, quark stars, and the metastability of our universe. I wouldn't change a thing.
same, love me a delicious theoretical burger
I love those rabbit holes, especially when you end up learning something super interesting
you wanna know what i went through?
strange matter to ice-nine to kuru (disease) to the fore people of papua new guinea to endocannibalism to a very minor hindu sect to charnel grounds to sky burials to various burial practices and tibetan buddhist iconography/traditions.
what the fuck. thank you jay and your comment section.
also, scientists have been creating different types of ice???
pretty interesting stuff that if we can some how create? contain? or otherwise could give us the ability to travel faster than light!
If I had a quarter for every time Ignis has stopped a world ending event whilst suffering mass casualties, I’d have just so many quarters.
you'd have enough quarters to create a world ending quarters event
You'd have an arcade
@@trainerJ11lmao
Best part is, half the time they stop the world ending event by ending the world first
Its amazing to see my mods getting more and more use, you people need better taste :P Its also very nice to see Broken Shield assets being used, JC the man who worked on it passed away and is the main reason JCA exists. Thanks for using his stuff!

The cube is gettin to you man
You may be too far gone now. A containment team has been dispatched to your location to take you into quarantine.
Using Ignis' instant-kill mode on "mission complete" screens was the funniest thing you could've done, those are some next level mind games!
Honestly using strange matter as an enigmatic neutral antagonist is a really amazingly smart idea!
This is such a cool event and I hope theres more!

lmao I literally jumped in my seat when I heard "XCOM," it would be cool to see some sort of Arma scenarios with sectoids, chryssalids, etc
When in doubt send in Ignis and let them sort it out.
11:08 really got me.

"Us once again being idiots..." as a tractor with a hmg on the roof rolls by. Yup, this gonna be good. :D
BABE WAKE UP A NEW RUBIX RAPTOR VIDEO IS OUTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Seen that creature in the clip for next week on webknight's channel, absolute destruction that thing causes
so strange matter, very strange, weird even
what is even stranger is that there are people who figured it out and somehow even made calculations about it even though we never actually observed it
Strange matter would be a fucking funny way for the universe to end tbh.
Ah yes, strange matter. Properties so wild that we can only theorize how they function. Yeah uhhh strange matter deserves to be a keter SCP, like hands down..
Glad we finally got the Midwest Angelica for ignis

"No form or casual pattern, people still think that Death is cruel. Death isn't cruel, he's just awfully efficient at what he does." Great vid
There's nothing more terrifying for any Ignis member than for J to say "I'm sure they're fine."

the fact that they played on the mission complete massacre made me so happy
I've never heard of this franchise before, but Extra Solar Anomalous Objects? Instead of Interstellar Anomalous Objects? So they come from the Sun?
I assume it means Extrasolar as in they come from outside the Solar System.
I want more lore on a Star Watch
A Tron video would be awesome
Why does the monster @1:20 remind me of the first monster from the game evolved
It kinda does lol
rubixraptor dreams the world. ignis corps explores it to suffer.

Damn I haven't heard that microsoft sam voice in such a long time... always played with it as a kid lol. "You have selected Microsoft Sam as your computers default voice"
nothing beats the Indomitable Ignis Energy
Despite my googling, I can't seem to find STAR WATCH as a existing fictional entity. Is this an original Ignis thing? Because it's cool as hell.

What scientists "know" about Strange Matter is super great and super terrifying!
Even if it's not SCPs, Ignis, more often than not, still fights eldritch monsters or reality bending anomalies.
Hello nice to see a new video
At 9:16 a short point and click adventure game started
"Guys, the cube is back"
"Its whispering things to me"
Oh lord what fresh hell is happening to ignis this week?
I'll never get tired of the "tractor with gun emplacement on top" bit
It's gonna keep coming back
Man, clipping through the underside of the tank to kill the crew gave me major flashbacks to my mates and I playing antistasi back in the day
Honestly the scariest part of this video is that there's someone igneous that's bilingual.
Pretty sure there's a couple, since I'm pretty sure there's someone who knows German.
I love how even in the 21st century, we're still using slideshows for briefings on extraterrestrial encounters.
EDIT: Jay: "Next week, we're gonna deal with something TRULY AWFUL!"
Jay, do you have the slightest idea at how little that narrows it down?
Ignis mission makers once again out-doing themselves, this scenario is so freaking cool
The intro sounds serious as always but when getting to meeting the team was hilarious as always
I would like to see more Star Wars videos, especially on the Separatist side, since they don’t get enough love.
Every time you uploaded, your thumbnail is always explosive and flying people. Thus a banger every time
Next week, the Ignis core fights "The Great Attractor"!
10:54- Now _that_ is some _really_ weak bottom armor on that tank.
I love to see how much you've grown, especially in production quality. each upload really makes my day!
You know why Quail died on that street corner: he said "they see me" and didn't follow it up with "I'm down" lol
