Fun Fact: The saying "Its raining cats and dogs" actually comes from when cats and dogs would sleep on the roofs of houses to keep warm when it was cold outside. When it rained really hard they animals would get washed off of the roof and it would look like it was literally raining cats and dogs.

Hey Kyle, this episode was very cool and hit a little close for me. I was ejected out of a car as it was rolling down an embankment on the road. I was about 15’ (5meters?) in the air before crashing to the ground. I broke my lumbar and thoracic vertebrae, as well as C7 in my neck. And though they never teach it in high school biology, I had worse than a concussion because my brain partially rotated in my skull and broke connective tissue. Clearly I am fine despite the 13 screws, 2 titanium rods and 8 level fusion of my lower spine. Oh, can’t forget the vertigo and bipolar depression that I now have too lol. Keep up the great work and thanks for giving me interesting things to look forward to and share with my daughters.
Master Chief and Noble Six: *survives falling from orbit multiple times* Other Spartans: *dies in the standard Pelican crash* Seriously, 4 died that way during the Fall of Reach in the novel Halo: First Strike.
The pelican crash also had a lot to do with it. Explosions and impact are more damage than just falling. Plus the chief hit a lot of trees on his way down and hit the ground at enough of an angle to extend his landing time (why you dont want to do a 3 point landing), which helped minimize the damage. Chief, even with all his mutations, was still knocked out for awhile after that fall
Chief was riding a big door and used it as a lifting body to hit at a shallow angle, Noble 6 had a portable re-entry pack (jet pack to decelerate basically, you see him take it off in the cutscene)
My prediction: He's gonna talk about that wiered larva that sits in a sandpit with an angle that produces a sand avalanche whenever something is in there
When i was around 7 or 8 years old or so. I used to look for Ant Lion burrows everytime I went to Sauble Beach, and would try feeding them various insects, to see what they ate. The part that stuck in my memory is, when they would kick beetles out of their *pit* :-)

(I always looked around to make sure there were no cubs, no matter what time of year it was..lmao...better safe than sorry ) But i did check out tons of insects, read the books, fed them, even named the spiders around the house...lol (in fact, I'm in my 50s now, and i still ont kill a spider in my place, but if i find an egg sac, it goes outside, a few hundred baby spiders floating around, is a lot different than two or three, in the bathroom or on the balcony door. :-D
If you take the numbers given by the commenter you mentioned, the one talking about the fact someone can get as fast as 200mph, Captain America would have survived a quite hard landing after he jumped out of a plane without a parachute Love the show btw

If I absolutely planned on falling from an extreme height and not dying, and I didn't have a parachute, I think I'd have some kind of makeshift glider or something. Come to think of it, is there a potential way for you to shape your body in a way to make it like a makeshift glider? Is it better to aim for water, grass, rock, or trees? And, what happens if you fall at terminal velocity and land in a Sarlacc Pit?
I actually used the reverse of terminal velocity in a D&D game by creating a sheet of ice covered in thin spikes of ice pointed upward and we calculated how fast the ice would shoot up to the surface of the water... and if I caught any fish without needing to waste time with bait. Ultimately, the math got really tricky, so he just rolled a dice... but you just need a DM that is also a physics/math nerd and awesome things happen.
@@Rodrigokdo I know what it is. I actually learned when I found out the name of Iron Maidens in RE4 and wondered why they were called that. Thank you, though.
While my Uncle was in the Airborn, his commander - who served in Desert Storm, dropped out, passed everybody and hit the ground without opening his parachute and walked away to Court Martial the guy who packed it. *Loved the Critical Role, Keylith, death scene joke that apparently went far over Kyle's head. Tho, even a Goldfish would still die after falling 1500 FEET into solid rock!
Hey Kyle; love the show! CORRECTION! Cats don't survive from terminal velocity falls by landing on their feet. They will try to land on their feet if the fall is around 6 stories (I think), but at terminal velocity, they spread their legs to maximize drag and spread the damage across more surface area. They only survive with medical attention, because their bones still shatter and organs still rupture.
I apologize for being way late to the conversation, but I had a question. If you're wearing one of those glide suits, that jumpers sometimes wear, could you control your air speed and angle of attack so much that you can land with minimal injury? (I'm guessing not, but you never know hence my question) Thank you for your work!
I believe it could be possible, if given the right angle of impact, just like a motorcycle racer going 200 mph crashes and slides across the ground with miminal injuries. Right?
When I was 6 I fell about 2 stories from the top of the tree in the backyard to the hard dirt ground. I totally believe that young kids have a greater chance to survive a fall like that or worse. They don't yet fear death or fear getting injured from doing something stupid. It helps that they're a bit more resilient than a typical adult otherwise I probably wouldn't be here today.
Kyle, thanks so much for reading my silly comment, i feel honored. 😁 Here's another one: what if say a 100 people were all falling together. If they linked arms and legs all making one solid unit, could it make enough surface area to slow them down? What if they could make the combined unit arched in the middle like a parachute made from people?
Question to remain on the topic of Falls, not saying that I am Chuck Norris but there has been several instances where Chuck Norris jumps out of really tall window and survived because he does a quarter roll upon impact. If you're falling and come down on an angle instead of falling straight down could you theoretically break your fall with a roll and survive?
4:25 I believe the expression: 'Its raining cats and dogs' comes from a time when people had thatched roofs and the animals (especially cats) would sit up among the cross beams. When it rained and the roof inevitably leaked these animals would come down and find drier spots to sit.
You’re the bomb dot com Kyle, keep up the good work. Your channel has really come so far from where you started. You always have great content. We all appreciate the content. Thanks for all the good work 😊
Quick question, dealing with the use of drag to slow your decent..... how big would Mary Poppins umbrella have to be to make it a viable option to safely land? And.... what would that umbrella be made of? At a certain size the umbrella would just be too heavy or awkward to handle. Love the show, been binge watching for weeks.
Hey Kyle. Love the show. I've heard a story where a man fell out of a plane and survived by riding the shockwave of a bomb going off below him, down to the ground.
Hi Kyle, Love your show! The recent volcanic eruption in my country and the number of active volcanoes over the past month got me into thinking... what happens if all the volcanoes erupt at the same time?
Really going to depend on whether you're just talking about all current active volcanoes, or add in all dormant volcanoes and volcanic hot-spots - because the latter might include things like the Yellowstone super-volcano caldera, which would be bigger than all of the others put together and dramatically change Earth's climate if it became fully active again. That would be a bad scene.
It would be like depressurizing a submerged submarine. Let out all the pressure from inside, external pressure takes over. I think the sciencey term is: 'smoosh'. Its possible I just made that up though.
Felix Baumgartner actually broke human near-earth terminal velocity when he jumped from space. Due to the thinner atmosphere, he fell much faster than you could jumping off any mountain, for instance, and his fall actually slowed down as he got closer to earth.
Cool, i haven't think too much about terminal velocity on fiction caracters but based on the old episode of how dense legolas should be to walk on snow makes me think he in fact will survive to any high fall.
has anyone else been having youtube unsubscribe you from a bunch of channels that you know you were subbed to? this one is one of many for me and i just had to subscribe again
Doing some quick calculations, you can actually find that an ant falling from free fall height with no air resistance would feel a force of about 1050 newtons. However, it would feel a force of about 11 million pascals, or about 1600 pounds of force per square inch. So yes, it would be very much squished.
"It's raining cats and dogs" originates when animals were kept in the loft and refers to it raining hard enough that the water got through the thatch and caused the animals to fall through the weakened patch.
Hey kyle, love the episode. Because its about “raining” cats and dogs. I got a water question for you. You have probably heard about dry water. Water that is literally dry. (For the peeps who may not know it. Its when water is mixed with silica coating). Apparently this water-air emulsion can absorb more CO2 so could we (as a country) make a big like lake or something filled with this to lower the CO2 in the air ? Really actually, how large would we have to build it ? I love your enthusiasm about science. Hope I’ll meet this brilliant evil mastermind on time :).
Using your drag equation from the other day, ant man's terminal velocity gets.... really high. Assuming nothing changes except for his surface area (he retains same mass and drag coefficient), and assuming I got the equation right, his terminal velocity would end up being around 10km/s when he shrinks down to 1cm high - at these speeds you're worried more about re-entry issues than drag. His terminal velocity is outlandishly high is because his *density* is higher than any material on Earth. Reduce a human to just 35% of their normal height, and their body density would already equal that of Osmium. Reduce them to 1cm and their density skyrockets to 348000x that of osmium, which is getting into the range at which electron shells begin to collapse into degenerate matter. You'd have to calculate ant man's terminal velocity through the *crust of the earth* more than the atmosphere above it, because he isn't going to stop when he reaches the ground.
@@Sm00k We'd have to figure out the drag coefficient for a couple kilometers of solid granite, followed by several thousand kilometers of various kinds of plasticized and liquid magma - however, given his absurd density at 1cm tall, I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't stop until he's pretty close to the Earth's core.
So I'm calling it now, he's gonna reference the little bugs I used to call "ant lions" as a kid. Idk what they are really called, but they use an inverted cone of sand at its natural angle of repose to allow themselves to trap ants and suck them down. I love those things I used to play with them in Florida when I grew up.
Speaking of "pits", in the DC universe Lazerus pits are often used to reduce aging and heal the user at extraordinary speeds with varying degrees of success. What would have to be in a "Lazerus pit" for it to achieve these qualities?
There was a comic where Boba escaped the Sarlacc and then while trying to escape Tattooine with no gear he accidentally fell back into it, and honestly that's a metaphor for my life.
Hey Kyle, thanks for keeping science fun! And speaking of fun, the whole "It's raining cats and dogs" idiom quite possibly originated from the joke that goes:It's raining cats and dogs! How do you know? I just stepped in a poodle!Then of course there is Douglas Adam's idea that flying is just falling at the ground and missing, but that's a whole other story.
I've asked this before and you said you read all the comments but do you? DO YOU?! While in the void you bounce to emphasize words or maybe a physical representation of inflection. I cant stop seeing it and I'm reminded of your one video about talking like a youtuber. Same or similar thing? Thanks for reading (again maybe?) Deeply enjoy the shows.
Question: How powerful is _D&D's_ Fireball spell? It's essentially a magical bomb that erupts in a spherical fiery explosion with a twenty-foot radius. How much energy would need to be compressed into the spell's point of origin to blossom into such a magnificent flower of destruction?
Talking of D&D... In one of my games, the PCs' accidentally summoned an elephant while flying on a flying carpet at about 1000 meter altitude while confronting a rock bird. They went down to see what happened to it only to find elephant burger. They also managed to petrify the rock and found gravel in a crater where it landed.
"I like dogs. I'm just a cat man" Immediate thumbs up Edit: Methinks Argon Oil has something against itself it doesnt want out. Outside of being too poor, why else wouldnt they allow an avid user to sponsor the product? Could be just as likely no one from the company has seen any of these. But you still cant rule out any other hypotheses
one way people have managed to survive great falls is for example with workers on the sydney harbor bridge is by throwing their tool belt whilst falling to break the suface tension of the water.
If Kyle is (totally not) a supervillain, who would be a hero to act as his antagonist? The Hacksmith maybe? He could build something to combat the void.
You lay down on the elevator floor,.. That gives you the best chance of survival thanks to the dissapation of energy, the mythbusters did an episode on if jumping saves you,.. And it didnt,.. Laying down will really hurt, but you have a much better chance of survival that way,
Draco Villenas I’ve heard the same thing but wanted to pose the question to KH. Maybe he knows something we don’t? You know, being a supervillain and all.
All I can picture is people showing up to a Sarlacc ball pit, yeeting children into it's plastic filled maw. And since Boba's down there, the kids that live become Mandalorians. This is my headcanon now, and I haven't stopped laughing.
How would the Stargate SG-1 episode "A Matter of Time" work in real life? More specifically, how would a wormhole on Earth connected to a black hole would play out?
@@Sm00k eh, if you compare it to the portal to the moon, the 'small' portal may make that part not as much of an issue. Not an issue in SG universe- it's 'one way' though it did start to attract things due to gravitational fields (and other fields) being able to act both ways. Not saying it wouldn't be bad in other ways though.

I thought he'd mention this at some point when the phrase came up.
14:00 Aim for the bushes was Samuel & Dwayne’s idea 🤣
Hey kyle, love the episode. Because its about “raining” cats and dogs. I got a water question for you. You have probably heard about dry water. Water that is literally dry. (For the peeps who may not know it. Its when water is mixed with silica coating). Apparently this water-air emulsion can absorb more CO2 so could we (as a country) make a big like lake or something filled with this to lower the CO2 in the air ? Really actually, how large would we have to build it ? I love your enthusiasm about science. Hope I’ll meet this brilliant evil mastermind on time :).
It's funny when Allen calls in the middle of Kyle recording "Build me a nerd trap! Love you."
Using your drag equation from the other day, ant man's terminal velocity gets.... really high.
Assuming nothing changes except for his surface area (he retains same mass and drag coefficient), and assuming I got the equation right, his terminal velocity would end up being around 10km/s when he shrinks down to 1cm high - at these speeds you're worried more about re-entry issues than drag.
His terminal velocity is outlandishly high is because his *density* is higher than any material on Earth. Reduce a human to just 35% of their normal height, and their body density would already equal that of Osmium. Reduce them to 1cm and their density skyrockets to 348000x that of osmium, which is getting into the range at which electron shells begin to collapse into degenerate matter. You'd have to calculate ant man's terminal velocity through the *crust of the earth* more than the atmosphere above it, because he isn't going to stop when he reaches the ground.
So.
How fast would he have to go to just...fly through the planet?
@@Sm00k We'd have to figure out the drag coefficient for a couple kilometers of solid granite, followed by several thousand kilometers of various kinds of plasticized and liquid magma - however, given his absurd density at 1cm tall, I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't stop until he's pretty close to the Earth's core.
I fell off the 3rd story of our house growing up when I was around 1 and a half. Makes sense why I survived now
You and Mat Mercer need to run a D&D game together sometime.
3:10 - In a vacuum there is drag from the cosmic microwave background, because it is blue shifted on one side and has higher radiation pressure.
So I'm calling it now, he's gonna reference the little bugs I used to call "ant lions" as a kid. Idk what they are really called, but they use an inverted cone of sand at its natural angle of repose to allow themselves to trap ants and suck them down.
I love those things I used to play with them in Florida when I grew up.
I always imagined the Sarlacc PIt to be one end of a tunnel network dug by the Sarlacc itself
Speaking of "pits", in the DC universe Lazerus pits are often used to reduce aging and heal the user at extraordinary speeds with varying degrees of success. What would have to be in a "Lazerus pit" for it to achieve these qualities?
Never usually awake long enough to watch instantly. I'm happy now
Can you calculate the lowest surface area needed to make it survivable for an average sized human to fall from say a plan?
There was a comic where Boba escaped the Sarlacc and then while trying to escape Tattooine with no gear he accidentally fell back into it, and honestly that's a metaphor for my life.
Yeah... that's not even the worst of Star Wars Legends.
You want closure? In Legends, it's revealed that Fett flies back once a year on the Anniversary he fell in, and blast it from orbit in Slave-1.
Hey Kyle, thanks for keeping science fun! And speaking of fun, the whole "It's raining cats and dogs" idiom quite possibly originated from the joke that goes:It's raining cats and dogs! How do you know? I just stepped in a poodle!Then of course there is Douglas Adam's idea that flying is just falling at the ground and missing, but that's a whole other story.
I've asked this before and you said you read all the comments but do you? DO YOU?! While in the void you bounce to emphasize words or maybe a physical representation of inflection. I cant stop seeing it and I'm reminded of your one video about talking like a youtuber. Same or similar thing? Thanks for reading (again maybe?) Deeply enjoy the shows.
Question: How powerful is _D&D's_ Fireball spell? It's essentially a magical bomb that erupts in a spherical fiery explosion with a twenty-foot radius. How much energy would need to be compressed into the spell's point of origin to blossom into such a magnificent flower of destruction?
You better be covering Ant Lions in your sarlac episode, because those little dudes are awesome.
Talking of D&D... In one of my games, the PCs' accidentally summoned an elephant while flying on a flying carpet at about 1000 meter altitude while confronting a rock bird. They went down to see what happened to it only to find elephant burger. They also managed to petrify the rock and found gravel in a crater where it landed.
"I like dogs.
I'm just a cat man"
Immediate thumbs up
Edit: Methinks Argon Oil has something against itself it doesnt want out.
Outside of being too poor, why else wouldnt they allow an avid user to sponsor the product?
Could be just as likely no one from the company has seen any of these.
But you still cant rule out any other hypotheses
at 4:47, I think Cory Z is referencing a certain moment on Critcal Role
Golden gods
lmfao sure is 😂
5:45 wouldn't it be the opposite? His area decreses, so his drag decreses right?
A fellow cat fan I see, now I like you even more Kyle
one way people have managed to survive great falls is for example with workers on the sydney harbor bridge is by throwing their tool belt whilst falling to break the suface tension of the water.
"I still haven't seen the show." is what I say every time I post a baby yoda meme.
Besides the size of the "ball", are sand pits and ball pits all that different?
Kyle, you should do a future video on the Peregrine Falcon - a master of Terminal Velocity (and pulling insane G-force manoeuvres)
If Kyle is (totally not) a supervillain, who would be a hero to act as his antagonist?
The Hacksmith maybe? He could build something to combat the void.
My kid wants to know if you had hair like repunzel would that make any difference in your falling velocity?
How would this work in an elevator that is free falling? There are many theories of how to survive that. What do you think is the best way?
You lay down on the elevator floor,.. That gives you the best chance of survival thanks to the dissapation of energy, the mythbusters did an episode on if jumping saves you,.. And it didnt,.. Laying down will really hurt, but you have a much better chance of survival that way,
Draco Villenas I’ve heard the same thing but wanted to pose the question to KH. Maybe he knows something we don’t? You know, being a supervillain and all.
Nice VM reference, I'm surprised no one told Kyle while shooting this what it was referring too
The next because Science Episode is going to be titled "Shooting an ant at a wall at Mach IV"
KYLE!!! watch Critical roll. it is amazing.
I know! We used to work in the same building -- kH
This lad right here is the most metal nerd I have ever seen.
I like watching Thor talk about star wars lore.
Thank you for your work.
What's great about the Sarlacc ball pit is they let you stay in there to play for a really really long time.
All I can picture is people showing up to a Sarlacc ball pit, yeeting children into it's plastic filled maw. And since Boba's down there, the kids that live become Mandalorians.
This is my headcanon now, and I haven't stopped laughing.
Jabba didn't have a flying palace. The heroes were transported to the Sarlac pit via Jabba:s Sail Barge.
You know who finishes their videos like that?
Heroes, that's who
How would the Stargate SG-1 episode "A Matter of Time" work in real life? More specifically, how would a wormhole on Earth connected to a black hole would play out?
A rather final vacuum cleaner.
@@Sm00k eh, if you compare it to the portal to the moon, the 'small' portal may make that part not as much of an issue.
Not an issue in SG universe- it's 'one way' though it did start to attract things due to gravitational fields (and other fields) being able to act both ways.
Not saying it wouldn't be bad in other ways though.
The biggest flaw in Endgame is when the Avengers first test the time machine van on Scott and they show an "old" Paul Rudd. This is impossible.
