Thanks for watching! Loved how the animations for this one turned out. I'll answer this in the next Footnotes, but apparently I'm in the minority of people that assumed that x-ray vision actually used x-rays. I would have guessed guess that if you asked 100 people how "x-ray vision" worked 99 would say "x-rays," and that's my point. If we try to think about the power scientifically, would we want it? If x-ray vision is just a term without a definition, we can't even start!
Also, Wifi-vision, giving how many cell phones are on the planet, would absolutely give you The Dark Knight-like vision. -- KH
Wifi-glasses. You mean Google glass?
@3:50 we should be heroic with this power but you'd know what most would do tho haha!
So the predator's heat vision is fine, since some snakes can see in the infrared spectre.
Many people actually read/watch fiction and go/went to school.
X-Ray Vision is a term and it has it's definition - it's a superpower that allows to see through solid objects. If you want to talk about the power scientifically, then talk about power. Otherwise, well, can't for you explaining how Human Torch isn't an actual torch, Silver Surfer isn't made out of silver and Iron Man not only isn't himself made of Iron, but also isn't even wearing a suit made of iron (although he might have been at some point, because comics).
With the hint from foot notes I thought this was going to be anime eyes but this works to thanks for the great video 👍

Most importantly, if you could see WiFi radiation, you would be the single best superhero ever, allowing people to find a strong WiFi signal no matter where they were....You could become a god at airports for instance.
"God of airports..."
I'm keeping that in mind.
Not only that, being able to see and interpret wifi signals with that degree of precision would likely allow you to decode them. In other words you could read the data being sent/receives by everyone around you.
Look, in that chair! It’s a creep! It’s a pervert! No, it’s... NSA Man!
WiFi signals are encrypted, if you were able to pull any info at all, which is unlikely, it would just be a hash of random bits.
Poor shit
Or, going through peoples houses, for a fee, and showing them all the dead spots in their house. Or, whether they would need repeaters to reach the upper/lower floors.

His necklace makes it looks he had an autopsy done on him
Superman can cycle his vision through all spectrums, some of those allow him to see through things. X-ray in the context of "X-Ray vision" just means he can see through things, not that he's literally using x-rays.
But he could totally see x-rays if he wanted to.
He shoots lasers from his eyes. Also shooting x-rays from his eyes is hardly a leap from that.
Yeah but some type of electromagnetic radiation still has to reflect off of (for example) bones in order for you to see them. There’s not nearly enough background radiation to get a useful image, so you absolutely would have to shoot radiation at objects you want to see through.
Superman can fly and had can thrive at the center of the sun.... Clearly he's not using normal physics. X-ray is a way of dumbing it down not literally shooting x-rays from his face
I don’t know if this was just me, but I never assumed X-Ray vision actually involved X-Rays. The “everybody around you has cancer” problem seemed just too obvious for even comic book writers to ignore. I always assumed it was just shorthand for being able to see through solid objects, because the public would have been most familiar with that idea through their doctor’s X-Ray machines.
That's not just you. No person over the age of 5 that's ever read any fiction that involved a power called "X-Ray vision" thinks it actually uses X-Rays or that X-Rays work like that. Pretty much half of this video is pointless straw-man, and the rest explains how X-Rays vision might work, but doesn't explain why you don't want to have it.
@@Sheol02 Zzz..
Yeah the X-ray part has likely always just been a shorthand way of conveying the power, but since the ability is rarely ever explained it leaves itself open to interpretations like this. A literal interpretation yes, but also an interesting way to get into the mechanics of multiple forms of emissive radiation. IMO good content.
Same. The Flash and others like him are called "speedsters" because the underlying power they have is more complicated. X-ray vision just means you can see through stuff. But the that doesn't make for a good science video :-)
Haha yeah poor X-ray vision is getting straw-manned. Whatever will Superpowers do? -- KH
With my X-ray spectrometer I do have x-ray vision and it’s awesome!
You should do a video on it would be awesome to see what it looks like
I'd love to see an episode of you showing us what objects would look like with your X-ray spectrometer.
He has already done that, go to his channel
LynSpyre he’s briefly touched on it he should a full in depth episode
Assumes he hasn't recorded such awesomeness and needed to be told by random Internet people to do so...
The amount of radiation from medical X-Rays is actually quite low. The X-Ray techs leave the room simply because they have to perform the procedure a lot and the exposure can add up. So if you could emit X-Ray radiation from your eyes (and it was of the intensity of an X-Ray scan), the average person you come into contact with while super heroing would prolly be fine. But don't stare into your loved one's eyes, cause after a significant amount of time, you know cancer.
Medical x-rays are low power now but they used to be a lot higher power as the film was not so sensitive.
I can remember there being X-Ray machines in shoe shops so people could see how well their children's feet fitted their shoes.
@@peterjf7723 oh wow
@@banglaanimeproject9036 That was in the late 1960s. I think the machines had been used from the 1920s. These were fluoroscopes, using a screen to form an image, there was no hard copy produced. There was probably not much radiation hazard to occasional customers, but shop staff working near the machine could be at greater risk.
He wasn't making an implication as to dangerous doses. All radiation damage adds up. You could get an x-ray only once in your life and that would be enough damage to start cancer. Keep in mind x-rays are used quite often because the equipment is everywhere, easier to use and less expensive than certain other tests which don't use ionizing radiation but would be fine for what they are suspecting. I've never been a fan of how health insurance works but even the boards of medicine who determine what is and isn't harmful are performing a role that they really can't perform as well as they indicate in terms of the generalized and sweeping statements about safety that they make
@@kortjohn This is misleading at best. We get cancer all throughout our lives, our body simple removes it. Sometimes you get a bad dice roll.
"If you were emitting X-ray vision you would cause damage to everyone around you!"
Me: "And that's a con how exactly?"
because your increasing the chance of people near you to have cancer
@@shadowdestroyer93yt48 but then you can call it cancer vision.
@@wyatt3m7 this was 2 months ago I did not know I posted this but ok your kinda late but have a good day
@@thraxironhide1674 yes but it's still X ray vision but with an added bonus.
you can't have pets, friends, family etc. and anything you own would have to be replaced on the regular, so as to not give yourself cancer, and all your food would at best be bland as the radiation breaks down some of the molecules in it.

Best part about WiFi vision....knowing where you will get good internet connection.
Dude, why are you ruining every superpower for me. Now I can't think of superpowers without imagining the science behind it in real life.
Wrote this before the video finished.
+GP Jr Some videos debunking them are bullshit to a certain extent.
Maybe that's because you are develop a a more accurate understanding of actual reality over fictional reality
You'd want flight. Nothing can go wrong with flight. So long as you don't fly too high without a source of oxygen.
GP Jr totaly agree
@@PastMourning or accelerate too fast... Or turn too quickly. That stuff might mess woth your brain/spine etc. Fly safe! (also you'd have to take air turbulences/winds or whatever into account , which you might not see and which could then knock you around uncontrollably. But that risk is probably decreased if, like you said, one doesn't fly too high)
With radio vision, you could have your superhero differentiate wavelengths the same way we differentiate colour. You could also have them able to focus on a certain wavelength if they wanted, like how we focus our eyes, to filter out interference. It would be awesome.
as a radiology technician im happy i can understand at least one of your videos
You are pretty
wow
two things:
1. wait, radiology technician, that's a thing?!
2. how do i become a radiology technician?
minecraft or I work at the hospital’s radiology department, I do x-rays, CT, MRI, mammography, etc... You can get a degree in a technical school. You can also work with industrial radiology, x-raying materials and building walls.

Another great "Why You Don't Want" video!! Though, I think you got a little hung up on the "x-ray" part. It's just what they called that type of superhero vision at the time. Not because it used x-rays, but because it was the only thing that was analogous. Plus it sounded better than see-through vision. LMAO
Actually, while I do think the video is pedantic because no one actually thinks of them as x-rays nowadays, "at the time" when Superman's x-ray vision was first established they were one hundred percent canonically x-rays. While the writers misunderstood how x-ray devices capture images, they would occasionally times assign it other properties based on how x-rays work. That's why he can't see through lead.
I really love this show! Thanks Kyle for delivering science knowledge in such way we get in "ressonance" with it.
Am I the only person disturbed by that red necklace thing Kyle is wearing? I couldn't be sure if it was a blood-colored necklaces or loosely connected stitches holding up a recently reanimated zombie Kyle.
That was the first thing I thought of when I started watching the video. "Has Kyle gone through an autopsy? What's going on with his chest? Oh it's a stringy necklace, good lord."

This episode was the best yet. Mostly because of the last bit on WiFi vision. More of this please.
Very nice video! Thanks for the shout-out, it was a blast contributing to this video!
To share a few other footnotes: The threshold of detection is defined by the wavelength of the radio waves you are using. Modern studies give us 12cm on the side for 2.4 Ghzs, 4-5cm on the side for 5 Ghz (this depends on the precise processing method). Objects below this size, unless *highly* metallic, will not be detectable (and even those highly metallic objects, more by chance), and at 12cm respective 4-5cm they are only low-resolution blibs- a single "voxel" (think a 3D pixel - cube instead of square.)
Still, even with those limits we are looking at through-vision sensing of room layouts, all major furniture and its positions, the position of any people and their rough posture (standing, huddling/crouching, laying on the ground, extremities pulled in or stretched out), and based off practical results you could sense something as small as a coffee cup in the table in the next room, with a 5Ghz WLAN nearby.
What I also think needs highlighting about WifDar or WiFi vision is how secondary powerful it is. WifDar makes for a good spider sense (metallic masses on people moving in certain ways near you are very probable a weapon being drawn or brought to bear on you; you can sense people's movement near you (such as preparing to throw a punch or rush you); you can sense cars; and in a fight situation you enjoy a massive information superiority, which is *extremely* valuable) and either by physically placing a WiFi emitter or hacking a device, you can mark and track objects.
And as a look forward to "upgrades". Right now there is potential talk about the commercial use of 60Ghz WiFi. This isn't usable *through* walls anymore, only over a few meters of air, but offers drastically improved bandwith and would likely find use in smart homes/smart enviroments, "spime" smart objects and the like. And with 60Ghz, you could image as fine as *5mm*.
Many people have smartphones today. Many more will have them in the future. In every badguys pocket is a potential emitter source, maybe in the future with a 60Ghz antenna also.
How's that for "X-Ray" vision? :D
Wi-Fi vision is good for hacking.
Wi-Fi vision is also good for malware i just lost my underwear.
This was my senior project at FAU as an electrical engineer. Through the wall radar imagining using wifi signals in the bandwidth of 2.4GHz. I was able to detect object behind reinforced concrete!

Kyle, actually...
Alex Hills, author of Wi-Fi and the Bad Boys of Radio says:
"Way back in 1999 the fledgling wireless industry needed a marketing name for the new products that conformed to the technical specifications called 'IEEE 802.11'. 'IEEE 802.11' didn't have much of a ring to it, and the industry association wanted a catchy name. They came up with wi-fi, and that's what's been used ever since.
It didn’t hurt that the name rhymes with 'hi-fi,' which was short for 'high fidelity,' a term that, back in the day, referred to high-quality sound systems. Some people even say that wi-fi therefore stands for 'wireless fidelity,' but those who were involved in the industry association's process of selecting a name say it's not really true. They say that the name was always just wi-fi."

Microwave ovens work around the cm range I think, and they might work for seeing through some things, as long as those things went metal or large amounts of water. If superman could also produce them in large amounts (either as a flashlight sort of thing or as an extension of his laser eyes, or both), he could use a less visible version of laser eyes (microwave eyes) to cook burritos and prevent them from getting cold while he eats them. Of course this would have many more uses, but I like the burrito thing.
There's a comic book idea. Nuke man. He doesn't actually "nuke" anything, but he emits microwaves, but instead of boiling people from a mile away, he just ends up operating a taco truck that microwaves all the food really fast, until some mutant recruiter finds him and adds him to a team of super soldiers...

Honestly it seems better that instead of pigeon-holed powers; you’d want broad, voluntary powers like super-perception, or the ability to change you rod and cone cells to perceive additional light wavelengths. Some stories I’ve read, people removed their lens which allowed them to see in UV. Imagine being able to switch to Infared reception to win every hide-and-seek game ever.

Where would you put the HV generator? Or the tube?
Note that if you had the right image processing, it is not totally unreasonable to expect that you could achieve synthetic aperture superresolution with wifi and other GHz range signals. Which means that if either you or your target are moving, you may be able to see in much much better resolution than otherwise implied by the wavelength and the size of your body.

Or a superpower called “radiation-vision” in which you can change what kind of radiation you can detect going all the way from gamma radiation and radio waves. You could be able to detect dangerous radioactive deposits and save people from unknown radiation poisoning, and also use your infrared and wifi vision to detect others and things around you as stated in the video.
This channel is actually really good for envious people.

Bad things. Very bad things would happen
@@freyadraginda-burnett9781 very bad
Even though the energy required to blow planets up IS pretty big, I don't think it'd be enough to affect a far more massive, dense, and energetic object like a neutron star.

i have both x-ray and thermal vision. i also have a load of other supernatural abilites. unfortunately i can no longer activate any of them but i did in the past. the x-ray vision was disturbing and unpleasent as i was seing myself as a sceleton in the mirror. i was shocked. it happend when i was trying to see the source of a cars lights beind a mountain. for a glimse i did see the car trough the mountain but after that when i looked at myself, i could see inside my own body. a moment after, my vision returned to normal. for thermal vision, a similar event happend. i was looking at the cooking pot when it was hot, my mind switched into thermal image mode and i could see color from red hot to pink to blue. a moment after my mind turns back to normal. if i could do it, i assume loads of people can turn these gifts on. its just practice. of course if you don't believe your own eyes, no such thing may ever happend to you.
I have Wi-Fi Vision and with it i tried to save a little boy from being kidnapped but i couldn't, you know why?
because i had 1 bar and i was lagging too much.

On the other hand, having strong X-Rays shooting out of your eyes would be a cool superpower for a villain. Giving everybody around cancer without them seeing you do anything *muhahah*!
Usually villains seek for some kind of profit. Unless you're one of the few villains that are so just because they want or you own a pharmaceutical/are an oncologist in USA/something else to benefit from ppl getting cancer, you wouldn't want it.
Well "supervillains" often do evil just because. But sure, why not have a pharmaceutical/clinical branch. Then you could even give more people X-ray-eyes to spread the plague!
And for a costume I'll wear a lead-suit - to be the last one standing.
However, because of you always wearing a lead suit you would get other kinds of affections causing an untimely death as well.

was that a music clip stollen from the muskwatch thing you guys used to do .
what if instead of having to be on the other side of the object to be the receiver instead you both projected the x rays to and pulled back the x rays from whatever you were intending to look through like a ball on a string (a crude example) throwing it out as far as you want and yanking it back?

Define "stealing your WiFi".
Physically, obviously. Otherwise... a.) maybe but b.) why is your WiFi not encrypted and password-protected?

Yes. Just looking for sources that are the same "colour" that your wifi router is currently. Although that becomes difficult if there are so many wifi sources in your area that you are getting collisions.

So what super powers would you actually want other than the Wi-Fi version that is. I’ve seen several videos about why you wouldn’t want this super power or another which ones would you want.
Wi-Fi vison sounds like the adds that promote themselves and say "The best washer in the world. It'll make your dishes sparkling clean. I's only $200000.99" or something like that.
Having vision from the microwave level all the way up to infrared have some interesting powers:
If you could see in the high frequency end of wifi range, much of that would be absorbed by water (which how microwaves work)... this would mean we would see dark patches of people's blood and muscle rather than bone shadowing. As a super power this could lead to some really cool powers like being able to see how much a supervillain is "plotting" becuase of blood moving towards the brain or a heightened "spidersense" by being able to see muscles starting to tense before someone actually moves. Maybe I don't want X-ray vision but I DEFINITELY want microwave vision!
The BONE SHADOW bits were exceedingly hilarious
I noticed something on your chest, it looks like a bandage of some type or if you just got a tattoo, the stuff that they use to cover them so they heal. What was that?
Why you don't want "Wi-Fi vision"
-you can't really sleep because you can see through your eyelid.
-your vision would be weird because in theory you can see behind you.
-your superpower would easily blocked by aluminium foil.
-you will see alot of new colour.
-your superpower is useless in rural area where there is no Wi-Fi.
-you can't use your superpower in the day because Wi-Fi is fairly weak.
-radar would look like giant laser.
-radio tower would look like a spot light.
-and alot more..
I’m pretty sure if you would want to have wifi vision, you would also want to have the ability to, idk, *switch it off* ?
Yeah, right. It's like X-Ray vision, you don't use it all the time.
Idk how its called in english but in google translate it says its called mobile data,wich gives you Internet
In addition to being able to turn your wi-fi vision off, you would also want to be able to emit wi-fi or the cm length waves mentioned in the video, just like some interpretations of x-ray vision that include being able to emit the x-rays. The would solve the whole rural areas problem
Limi V portable hotspot maybe?
When saying"x-ray vision", I think that people don't necessarily mean shooting and receiving x-rays. It seems to be more of *visually block/ignore the light from certain objects and use environmental queues to image objects behind what is, currently, in front of you.
I'd like to be able to flick through different kinds of vision
Fascinating explanations and very intuitive. I live in an apartment complex, and Wi-Fi signals are all around me, surprisingly penetrating.
3:46 exactly what we have asked for.
X-ray vision is what I like to call associative terminology. While specifically incorrect, it is used to invoke an idea and/or understanding of a concept, for which the proper scientific terms are unknown (due to lack of understanding of the underlying mechanics) or not understood by general public. Great job over thinking this one tho!
Y'all are just being salty af, tbh. This is literally the entire purpose of Kyle's show. Overthinking EVERYTHING about pop culture. That's why you people are here, is it not?
You seem like the salty one to me. My comment was in no part criticism. I watched and commented BECAUSE I do enjoy the thought experiment.
Everyone calm down. It's fine. I had no idea many people didn't think x-rays were involved in x-ray vision -- KH
That is by far the best explanation of that concept I have ever heard. Well done Daniel.
So what if you could Emitt and call back your own rays that can go through walls and are harmless and then "tell" you what they hit
Your necklace reminds me of an autopsy scar, once I noticed it I couldn't stop seeing it.
you need a bone shadower metal tshirt. radiologists will buy it. definitely. lol
The world wouldn't go dark if your visible spectrum of light increased to include x-rays, because you would still the the normal visible light spectrum, it would only add to your normal sight.
6:07 YOU REALLY GOT ME 😭😭😭
Sounds like he says “thank you so much for watching, Adam” at 11:06, and my name is Adam so I was like 😳😳😳?!?
He says a name at the end of every video 😂 this time he said Adam
