The crazy thing is, this video was not recommended to me. I actively looked for this.
Same all I did why cant humans fly lol
same
@@marielahens1797 for me i searched for "Humans caught flying"
I did too
“Real human flying”
Well i can always fly in my dreams at night... :(
Yeah
It possible only in dreams
I figured out something. since we could genetic modify humans to have wings, and make it impossible for us to fly cuz of our weight. Lets just fly in mars since there is less gravity. in comparison 100kg in earth is just 38kg in mars, as well as what elon musk said, it is possible for us to live in Mars. Do you agree?
The only moment I can fly :(
How do you guy's fly? I have to shake my arms like a bird lol
We can't fly because no one believes we can can fly.
Believe in yourself! Restore our souls to there former glory like the ancients did, this is how you fly. We need to be fully connected with our higher selfs, very long process especially if you have shit in your subconscience mind you have to deal with.

You say that until a 4 year old says "I believe" and jumps head first off a building landing onto a car :/

have you met my friend R. Kelly?
I wanna fly without wings thou
It's not possible.
I think it's possible
Robert Davila please tell me your backing behind this.
oof
Hi no shit
My opinion is stupid.
Question: Why humans can't fly?
My answer: because humans often gained weight and to heavy to lift themself.
Quite stupid.
saying because "humans too fat to fly" you obviously live in america. lol but it doesn't make your opinion stupid. Its just stating the obvious.
I don't eat well enough to be too heavy. I can't fly though
You don’t eat the point-
@@jellyfishsquawk *and thats the point tho*
It's actually because of gravity but ur opinion is not stupid it's actually kind of true
I believe man can fly, we just don’t know it yet ‼️
What about prosthetic wings? Adding a new pair of limbs to the back.
Anti-gravity/flying saucer technology made more small would make it so the human body can fly.

Instructions unclear: I started eating my own weight daily and now I'm a diabetic fatso with no toes
I love you
lmao you are funny
Then how come some dinosaurs were able to fly? Pterodactyl
They had hollow bones and an aviation breathing which is vastly different to mammals lungs. They also had huge wings.
If our ancestors evolved to fly we would look more like primate bats we wont be humans at all still an animal.
Black Howling Humans ARE animals, there are 3 classes of organisms, Animals, Fungi, and Plants, nothing else
i was expecting more comments on this video
So does this mean that if we managed to create artificial wings (probably using the steel-like graphene material made by MIT themselves) with a span good enough to balance the human body weight, we could actually fly ? Also, if a person weighs 60kg, does an 8m wingspan suffice ? (if compared to the albatross example)
Yep, that should be more than enough. Of course the wings and battery will add a lot of weight as well, so you'll be maybe 90-100kg total. But according to my bird rating scale (wingspan squared divided by weight, using units of centimeters and grams, which gives a rough estimate of wing area to weight ratio), 800cm span with 100kg weight still gives you a bird rating of 6.4. Harpy eagles are one of the largest flying birds, and are somewhere in that area as well. But they can carry their their weight in prey, meaning that they can still fly with a rating well below 4 (though I doubt they can take off from level ground with such a load). Mute swans have a rating of about 5, but they need a good running start to take off. Most birds rate 10 and above, which gives them excellent maneuverability and near-vertical takeoff abilities, well beyond the minimum requirements to get off the ground. Crows have enormous wing area for their weight, around 18 on the bird rating scale.
Really it's just a matter of engineering the control system and the articulated wings. I'm fairly sure it can be done with present day materials. Battery life will be somewhat limited, but that will almost certainly be improved in the next few years. Power requirements will probably be around 9kW takeoff and 3kW cruising.
I can fly

@@chickenandchips8802you never know dude
The only way you can fly is if you actually believe you can
Shannah Hay we can fly to be honest.
It would be pretty hard to fly with a pair of wings on your back. You'd probably be pretty top-heavy, or your arms would probably have to be disproportionately weak so they're not a lot of dead weight. You'd also probably have to be stretched taller, and have a massive membranous webbing going from your wings' fingers down to your toes, so clothing would be kinda difficult.
I wonder how that would all be on your spine and knees, unless the wings r so long you use em like crutches.
Should have ask maleficent instead

TONY STARK WAS ABLE TO BUILD A FLYING SUIT IN A CAVE!! WITH A BUNCH OF SCRAPS!!
Zokizzy Foshizzy 😂😂
And someone wrote that with their plane in a room with a bunch of pens
On a short notice, we would need to eat less than he made it seem, because smaller animals like bats have a way higher metabolic rate. Small Mice also eat approximatly double their bodyweight and do not fly. The bigger the animal, the less it has to eat compared to its bodysize because bigger animals have less surface to lose energy over compared to their volume.
Why not create a small motor that would make the wings to sway
*Calls*
“Hey, can people fly?”
*_Silence_*
“That’s a shame.”
*is ded*
What if an infant had wings? Or a young child. If they weighed as much as a large bird with the exact same wingspand could they fly?
That would take millions of years to happen, and plus, we don't need it to survive, so it likely would never happen.
In past Great Yogis was flew without any wings with more speed what is the reason behind it ?
I want to Fly so bad.. I want Powers :
Wings are mostly shown growing from are backs not are arms and the wings would be much bigger than are arm span and stronger
wow,woderful explanation.thank you

You could theoretically fly with artificial wings provided the wings had a small motor to add the extra strength and energy. If you could mount a motor that's light and powerful enough on a wingsuit, you could take flight that way. A wingsuit is a type of jumpsuit with extra fabric between torso and arms as well as between the legs. There would also be the bouyancy option, though for that you'd need around a kiloliter (cubic meter) per kilogram of your mass in order to fly. Now, this doesn't include the mass of the balloon or balloons, string, and harness system, plus parachute. If your mass is 75 kilos for example, you would need 75.5 or more cubic meters of helium, depending on the mass of the equipment.
There's two worlds on which human powered flight would be possible - Venus and Titan, particularly the latter due to low gravity and high atmospheric density.
but the eagle used to fly with they pray which is somtime heavier than their actual weight
we can fly with gears like paragliding although it depends on the wind.
Wait, the gravity! How can't me and we all think of that! Gravity surround us are way more heavy causing us can't lift freely.
Sound vibration at the right frequency... Then yes You would be able to so called fly ... Just Like the bumblebee... That doesn't fly but 👉 levitates..

There is actually a video on this topic?
If the wings are bigger ?
Oh lit. Second episode is 3 months later
well they are showing us with our arms i want to know if you can fly with wings on your back
that's why I have mi wings called Hang glider
If wings get heavier as they increase length why don’t we just use inflatable wings that would solve the problem of the weight of the wings.
imagine if we evolved with wings and could actually fly this is why I think birds are amazing and get overlooked.
We wont exist as humans but as primate bats.
Hie can anybody say me here can I get wings truely if use subliminal plszz reply?😥🙏❤
Him: **explaining why we camt fly**
Me: mhm..
Him: you would need 50m wings!
Me: so-?
I volunteer for testing
I remember as a kid I flew with ease but when I realized I was flying, I fell.
I tried to fly with cardboard wings. It didn't go well
YOU'RE A TOY YOU CAN'T FLY!!
-woody from toy story
I want to fly without flapping wings or arms
Then use smaller wings and compensate the power with a small electric motor? We have electric bikes
No wings....fly with our minds. I don't want wings.
Dr. Serotonin
For humans to fly or hover in the air you have to focus and let you spirit go release the energy in you body and mind let your muscles relax and focus with the air and ground
how do you know this
@@Dragonslayer888bountyhunter I imagine a dream and bought the feeling back from the dream, then forgot. Remember?
I think if we have a large tail that can catch a lot of wind and two wings then some times humans could fly for a small distance like my comment if you think my idea would work
but superman has no wings
yea but he's called SUPERman for a reason :o he's got superpowers, and also superman doesn't exist
And that is why there's a word " fictional " . U STUUUUUUUPIIIID . •-•
still doesn't matter though
ranvids that’s because Superman is not real...
Jeez why is everyone so triggered
In our india, swami Vivekanand says every thing is possible by the human , if we positive then we do anything and we think negative then nothing is possible... It's hindusim .
1:31 "The Albatross of Windsor", lmao, mispronunciation, omg.
So can We grow wings wings?
Yes
@blacken blu, why did you lie to Keirbear? You know growing wings is impossible.
It is but it is very complicated before you are born your DNA strands must be modified with that of a bird but only the gnome that tells the bird to grow wings never has been tested in the history of man kind tho
MaxCruise73 it is possible just your DNA strands must be modified with that of a bird before you are born only the gnome that tells the bird to grow wings tho but because of worry that the baby will not want the wings when it's born it's never been done

Just how do you plan on growing wings, genius?
Why
THEY CAN WITH WITCHCRAFT AND WING SPELLS
I did...
and I'm getting it 10 days
CutiePie ! Lemme know how it works out for you
DID IT WORK? LOLLLLLL
I know the drugs will work lol :)
Hermione Granger Can you post a video?
Why we can't fly? Because of that damn newton
I am sad now 😢😢😢
There should not be a doubt, ---humans can fly. As a living species we are not designed to fly, but we have an amazing brain and I am actually surprised, that we are still not able to generate a design to make lift off and fly using only human power. The past have shown that Quetzalcoatlus with wingspan up to 36 feet (10.9m). body mass of 200-260 kg. and the largest known flying animal to have ever lived.
allygroup1 we used our brain to invent the airplane which allows us to fly so we already can fly lol
Why can’t we fly we need to somehow grow two limbs witch would be wings put the genes in a not yet formed baby and hopefully the wings will grow to lift its body weight
My question is Cloud's r 100 more heavy than humans n if they can fly y can't human's even could don't hv Wings
But what if we didnt need wings to fly and we use the northen pole and southern pol using a calibrated magnetic rubber suit with thousands of little magnets that cover the suit and connecting them all with thin copper wire suit on the out side and then we take the energy from the sky to power it
David Low To answer this, I ask you a question; are the magnetic forces strong enough to carry the average adult? The other question I ask you is, say we do know the necessary forces. How are you going to calibrate it as so it does not conflict with the other magnets covering the suit.
@@Thanatip2004BMZ with magnets they can be really poweful and can push away there own mass and more to float above ground so yeah they would be able to push a human in the air or a car and fly . To the calibration of the magnetic suit or in a car . it would be powered to take electric from the air like teslas wirless invetion to make it stronger . The magnets and the conflict of the wire and magnets touching to not disrupt each magnet will be kept with my design as each magnet would need to be set in one direction aiming out with the suit and that format and how to prevent that from happening i will need to keep to my self sorry. but the theory is sound if we take into concideration of the magnetic pull of the earth and if we do it on a small scale which it works and is sound then creating a magnetic bubble on a bigger scale where one would be within the suit would allow us to float with a 365 degree set calibration using magnetic force, a constant calibration is only there to allow us to move in each direction but a computer program would need to be constantly running and calibrating the power taken from the sky on each section of the suit in a pattern it would need to be directed into the magnets in certain grids of the suit and the magnetic pull of the earth from every direction . but taking the power from the sky and using this method would create a 3 point of orgin polarisation as what i would call it to keep us in the air and so on i think i covered the questions plus abit more of how it will work
Try the spells on youtube just seach how to grow wings
Gohan teaches video how to fly first harness energy pull it out then push it under you
I had a dream last night, that there was an attraction in town. Where you go and you wear a set of Styrofoam wings like a rucksack, but they literally make you glide.
You jump off a tower, and you just glide across the city. The propulsion was a firework doesn’t explode. It took me longer than I care to admit that my subconscious was ripping off Minecraft. But just made the experience all the more hilarious.
I asked the guy who was renting out these wings “how much would it cost in order to buy them flat out?“
He said he’d sell them to me for £1000. For near effortless flight. I asked if I could borrow the wings for half an hour so I could fly home and get the money. But I woke up before I could get there.
there subject is in practise and it will be possible and efficient in 15 years
They do fly with wingsuits so they can literally fly.
So in short, we can. Just as the video said, we are just light enough so we can still generate enough power to lift ourselves through Earth lower atmosphere (even in situations where the lift + vertical component of thurst to total power rate isn't much higher than 1), but heavy enough so no actual natural tissues and their anatomical shapes would allow for such a thing (or at least according to animals still alive today). Fortunately, we are leaning more for the "light side" than the "heavy side", so by looking into light materials and clever constructions we were able do take to the skies!
...
Well, not fly freely and fast but still fly nonetheless.
Thanks MIT for this amazing video.
Daedalus with a span of 15 m? It was 34. Please do some research about your own institute...
just get BIGGER wings?
@Pink Diamond, bigger, longer wings add more weight which requires more even longer wings. Which adds more weight. Remember this ratio.
Lift and thrust must overcome weight and drag for anything to achieve flight.
Its all in u mind
Its posible to have wings you just have too believe🥰
If Ironman suits were real imagen how different our cities would look

Humans were never apes though but I get your point.

p.s. sarcasm
Jiren well good luck Krillin then
Wait, what your telling me is, if you think/believe your whole life that you need wings, have kids and teach them they need to believe to need wings, genetics will make a genetic code that will eventually give us wings without genetically forcing it upon humans.... the mind is a powerful thing.
The mind doesn't impact evolution.
Yes you can somehow
I came here because I had a dream I was a wolf vampire hybrid and I had wings and was learning to fly
maybe we can fly like our arms can be our wings maybe you just need to believe in our minds to manager fly i don't know
so... it's possible
Only possible if human leg size become same as its hand size and vice versa. But that's awful.
As each day passes I get even more suicidal. One of the reasons is that I can't fly. It's getting to the point where I'd rather be dead than stuck in a body that can only walk or run.
The body and spirit is capable of a lot more than just walking & runnin, but you not alone my friend. Stay Up, Stay Strong, God Bless You fr
@@RJackEst96 there's no scientific evidence, let alone source to back that
@@blade837371 Why are you discouraging him?
So.... se ne ed Just Very Very Very Big, strong, light wings? Nigga we cane do this
Ok, small wings wouldn't work.
But what about REALLY large artificial wings with some sort of assistance- artificial "muscles"- that would do the bulk of motion with human arms only really responsible for controlling the flight.
We have ultra-light and strong materials like carbon fibre composites and graphene and I imagine that many rich people would pay quite the premium to be able to fly like birds and over time the costs would dwindle.
You don't need wings to fly.....
Illiyuwn yes you do... the only thing able to get enough air is wings...
Just smoke weed
And what about theory when we have wings and arms at same time as angels have?
#askMIT
Not so much wings on our back but fly like goku
WHAT
Of course wings are possible ....
But with wings there are some things need to be modified too...
As a weight of bones or make bones hollow like birds have but still solid it would bring our weight between 45-55 kg cuz bones take about 15 -20 percent of your bodymass... we can simply add wings on back of human but here comes second thing ant that is MUSCLE STRENGH we need to increase basic muscle power of human at least 5-10 times wings will need to be at least 6-8-10 meeters long
But its normal if you compare bird without tail and wings the wings are about 1.5 shape or more of bird
SO YEAH its posibble but the hardest thing is to find genomes that controll the growth and other options that makes us look like we are now. Because one genom controls many other functions and options in our body.
And YES human wings will be new wings they will not be similar to bird wings because they will be on back and they will be 5-7 centimeeters under shoulder blade....but genetics research and engineering now works on learning that ''language'' of genoms........
Thank you for your attention and patience!....
So you can’t fly course I would be jelly.
Actually we can if you've mastered how our body works, how the cells work, how our minds work, how molecules work, how small particles work, how atom works, how our neurons in our body works, how electrons in our body works, how we can breathe smoothly, etc., and more and more and more!! it depends on you just do it discover it for yourself... We can't do it because we're not taught to do it... Our body can produce electricity and I've seen people who have these kind of abilities. they usually used it for healing.. but still they're still at the lowest level of our Human potential but they're higher than us coz most of us still don't knoe how to do it.. that's why currently I'm trying to teach my self and I can say that We humans really have the potential..
so right
I think we can..our bodies are geared for terrestrial physical properties that are bound by mother nature's laws...if we can alternate within ourselfs with our mind and spirit..we might be able to to change certain properties that hold our physically bodies in check that hold us down...if one can achieve this...then they'll be able to see perhaps more then nature will allow also......just a thought.........
Practically humans can fly because we have planes
We can fly man
Human can fly only then when he can upgrade his inner senses..... There are some rules which does not follow earth rules.....
