in case you didnt know the film didnt follow comic lore in which case adamantium can cut anything besides adamantium or "magical/cosmic manipulated items". neither can adamantium be melted once the vibranium steel alloy when cooled into adamantium is not meltable unlike the films its not natural or from space
Alexander Gill The hulk was once reduce to skeleton as was wolverine and yet they both fully regenerated. I think wolverine regenerated faster than the hulk though. Can't remember.
A duel similar to this actually happened in the Star Wars EU/Legends novel "Shatterpoint." To quote Mace Windu in the novel: "And the metal itself... well, that's an interesting story of its own. It seems to be an alloy that the fungi don't attack. It is extremely hard, and never loses its edge. Nor does it rust, or even tarnish. It also seems to be a superconductor. This is why my blade could not cut it: the entire shield is always the same temperature throughout. Even the energy of a lightsaber is instantly conducted away. Hold a blade against it long enough and the whole thing will melt, but it cannot be cut. Not by an energy blade."
Indeed! Great observation! I hadn't even thought of that. Interestingly, like Vibranium, the metal in the novel "Shatterpoint" (called Ultrachrome) was used in sharp, teardrop shaped shields called Vibroshields, the Ultrachrome having been salvaged from the armor of an ancient derelict Starship. Rather like how Captain America uses a Vibranium shield. Mace Windu notes in the novel: "I use my sword as a shield. They use their shields as swords."
Except that Vibranium (at least the Wakandian) doesn't "conduct" the energy away, it absorbs it. The vibrations in the metal don't cause it to heat up, at least to a certain point. At some point, a shield made from pure (Wakandian) Vibranium would violently explode when exposed to an energy source like a Light Saber. Because that's what (Wakandian) Vibranium does.
Those teardrop shaped shields sound like prince rupert's drops.... which would make them basically indestructible if they can dissipate the energy caused by vibrations
I think there was a problem with your calculations, you calculated the 4MW using the entire area of the lightsaber when plunged into the blast door. More realistically the lightsaber would only be using its tip to melt the blast door as it was melting the material in front of it. This means the surface area used to melt the door would be much much smaller, more like the surface area of the outside of a semi sphere with a diameter of 3 cm.
1:49 "That's like saying that once water is ice, it can never become water again." Actually, once water becomes ice, its crystalline structure can be altered into many different phases, some of which will only melt at much higher temperatures. Adamantium could be going through a similar transformation, freezing at about 1500F and then spontaneously reorganizing itself into a crystalline phase with a much higher melting point as it further cools to room temperature.
If the adamantium had a impossibly high heat conductivity in addition to an impossibly high specific heat capacity it could survive even longer against a lightsaber. And I think Logan's healing could probably deal with boiling skin. I mean, it can handle disintegration in some of it's more extreme iterations.
Brandon Wrong yet again. OLD Logan`s healing factor slows with multiple damage with big wounds and lots of pain. Alongside the clone Logan. The original prime Logan can take pretty much anything. Hence why he is able to stand in a nuclear blast and heal just as quick as the damage deals to him. Alongside this. Without the healing factor slowing down at any point. As seen the Wolverine film. Straight after the nuclear explosion. It barely got through to his bone, not only this, but it healed all remaining wounds within seconds. SPOILERS. As its clearly states in Logan. When the doctor is talking to the clone, and at the other points of the movie. The clone isnt a perfect copy. And he even slowed down purposely so they are able to control him. How much he is able to heal is decreased due to how he was cloned. How fast he can heal is decreased to be controlled.
Even Logan wouldn't survive the epicenter of a nuclear blast. He got by because he was in a well and far away from the actual explosion but he still had most of his skin burned off from the blast wave in the well. Young Logan is definitely more resilient but he can still die from taking too much damage at once or too much constant damage for his body to keep up with.
Brandon read the comics, it happens like 3 times, one of which they literally target HIM and drop it on him. He survives it as a walking adamantium skeleton by regenerates everything not long after.
Ok, but how long would it take for a lightsaber to kill Wolverine through cooking him via heat transfer with his skeleton, due to the speed of his regeneration? Can we use science to explain this one? #BecauseScience
If we go by the comics, Logan will likely have that lightsaber split his body in half and this has happened in the past by forces arguably weaker than a lightsaber, and it never ends well for Logan when he loses massive chunks of his body including the skeleton.
@@entertainmentfan1463 It would have to be a direct blow to his brain. Killing his brain or overtaxing his healing factor are the only ways to put Logan down for good.
@@xaetaminvaela9830 Or the lightsaber can just chop off Logan's head. Pretty much the same result as killing his brain since Logan can't remote control his body despite I'm sure there's going to be fanboys out there claiming otherwise.
@@entertainmentfan1463 Well he can't control his body, but in one comic, Nick Fury dismembered him and kept his head several stories above his lungs, and he still didn't die because he could breathe with his skin somehow
@@vornamenachname989 Was that the Ultimate universe? I think I saw a picture of Wolverine's dismembered head from the Ultimate comics, but wasn't sure what story it came from.
I just absolutely love your videos for the sheer planning and effort that they look to take. Serious hats off to you Kyle, I only regret not discovering you sooner.
5:30 I can confirm that, there have been battles with sabers vs metal objects such as vibrosabers and such where they just quickly clash and back away as if the metal was never touched.
Keoni V probably a light saber because if I had the claws imagine the pain of having 6 metal claws ripping your skin. If I had his powers which I assume you mean than yeah but living forever might be lame though. Tbh I'd go with the claws but if I had a light saber I would grab anything I could get and try to cut stuff with it
i still don't think that scene from the wolverine is valid, heating the metal ,as you said in this, would make it weaker thus the unheated version of the metal would be stronger and able to cut through the heated version, in that scene the heated sword should have been cut to pieces by wolverines claws.
never thought of that. makes sense. how the hell did he heat the blade up though. i would assume that would of taken awhile. maybe that robots ass is a plasma forge
Especially since, if my memory is correct, Wolverine later got the sword and when he held it in two hands (the the "proper Japanese fashion") it automatically heated up to the glowing white hot stage in an instant. Not sure if that actually happened as I watched the movie a few years ago, but I seem to recall that happening.
ThePhantomSlayer I don't think all of them are. Kit Fisto's lightsaber was specially made to be used under water, at least according to the wiki. But I guess only certain ones being usable conflicts with some of the Clone Wars episodes
Cunt yeah would the whole ocean be evaporated? I think it's called the Leiden frost affect... where water boils so fast around a object that there is a space between the water and the hot object. but if you dropped a light saber in the ocean would it evaporate all the water within the lights sabers lifetime? or would the laden frost affect make it so it wouldn't? also if it did evaporate a lot of the water wouldn't there be like a rainstorm or whatever? plz respond nurdist
Most probably couldn't, but depends on how you specify a cut. If we keep the definition of lightsaber as being a condensed and contained beam of plasma, than it would have to be contained in something presumably some kind of electromagnetic field - hence why it deflects laser blasts and other lightsabers and generally sometimes behaves as a solid object. Under this definition, it would probably bounce of kinda like when you try to make two same poles of magnets touch. However if lightsaber operates differently it could also just kinda go through with nothing at all happening. You can try it at home by cutting a flame of a candle with a knife ;-)
Birdofplay60a Nice. Your luck stats are up today! And you are a nice person! Could lady luck be smiling on you today! Quick Dude (or Dudette) go buy a lottery tickect or bet on a jockey! (Share the money if you win!)
As always, your sound effects are on point. And this analysis is so on point. Based on how a battle like this would likely go down, Wolverine would most definitely get his claws cut and would die within the first couple exchanges.
i dont remember it being mentioned in previous videos but ive always wondered how qui-gon endures the heat from the molten metal in the phantom menace scene in this video. its clearly melting mere inches away from his hands.
I want Nokia and Samsung to partner together for a new military fragmentation explosive project. The explosive/incendiary force of a Galaxy Note 7 with the incredibly durable casing of a Nokia (Obviously structurally designed to fragment into shrapnel rather than simply be a uniform casing) would be awesome and put the fear of death into anyone, Hipster or Terrorist alike.
WAIT YOU FORGOT SOMETHING!!!! Adamantium is magnetic, and given the Lightsaber (Plasma sword) is controlled by immensely strong magnetic fields, wouldn't it severely distort and crush Wolverine's claws when the two weapons clashed? I'm just thinking of this because of magnetos constant control over Wolverine in every battle. And you explained in a past video that light sabers were plasma tubes controlled by a magnetic field that was created by the hilt of the blade.
Adamantium would be ferromagnetic since he's not sticking to every metal object (like car keys for example). Therefore the domains in his claws would just align themselves with the lightsaber and the lightsaber would be just fine. I'm not sure if this next sentence is accurate but the aligned domains might actually make it easier for the lightsaber to cut through the claws. Good point though.
I don't know why people insist on treating Wolverine charging at Magneto as some kind of fight. If a piece of paper yelled and threw itself into a fire would it be considered a fight? How about if a bird cursed and threw itself into an oven? Because everytime Wolverine charges Magneto, everyone acts like "OH MAN HERE WE GO FIGHT OF THE CENTURY" and i just go "Oh look Wolverine is still stupid."
I believe the magnetic field is there only within the saber circumference, otherwise it would stick to metallic surfaces the whole time it's active or unintentionally pull small metal objects to it constantly.
It's like a soldering iron. When the tip is in contact with solder for a short time, it can't transfer enough heat to melt but holding it down will transfer enough to melt solder.
Even if my skin boils off me as you said at the end of the video I will come back, remember a nuke hit me and I became a walking skeleton and then I still regenerated my entire body.
wolverine It wasn't a fight tho. "you" wouldn't win anyway because of the force and all, force choke from the Vader and you die cus it would be like drowning. One of the ways wolverine can die.
Yeah until the Jedi lets go and I will be back again, I can drown and die and as soon as I can breath again I'm back up again. even Darth Maul has no chance against me, I'll slice him up.
wolverine he can just push you into space and you can't do anything till you can breathe again. And it will take a loooooooot of time till you land on a planet where enough oxygen is for you to Breath
Tide Fabric Softener no.. Wolverine is still a living human organism that requires oxygen. Wolverine only heals, he's not immortal. He would require oxygen in his blood to heal, and when he can't breathe then there is no oxygen for the blood to allow him regenerate. It would take a while to actually choke him but since someone like Vader can choke u until death. then it isn't a problem to kill wolverine or otherwise he use the force to send him off into deep space where he'll die much faster.
Next question after that is how many of those brief contacts could the claws take before giving out? They don't automatically dissipate the heat as soon as they leave the lightsaber so each exchange should be increasing the temperature until they reach a point where they are dissipating as much energy as they are getting or they melt.
There maybe chemicals where the liquid can be held at one temperature but once solidified it take a much higher heat. This article is about a chemical which exhibits another crazy quality it solidifies as it heats: radio-weblogs.com/0105910/2004/09/25.html This is in keeping with the comics and the movies.
+PJames Bocaling - Not a chance. Post Crisis, Diana's vambraces are forged from the Aegis. They have shown capable of redirecting the combined power of the Pantheon Elite and shattering Mount Olympus in the process. Those bracelets have never been broken and are arguably the most durable metal in comics.
I seem to distantly remember watching an episode of the X-Men cartoon as a kid that involved Cyclops getting trapped in an adamantium room and he eventually escaped by concentrating his laser on a single point saying, "If I can't cut my way out, then I'll burn my way out."
That'd be a cool fight to watch. Especially if you follow that his claws wouldn't melt and instead the heat would conduct throughout his skeleton like you said at the end. Logan would have to balance his healing abilities with the extreme burns he's getting from the inside out. If he can get around that lightsaber he's good, but the whole time it's going to be agony. Love your work!
In think that a lightsaber couldn't cut through adamantium because in the star wars universe itself there are some materials that can withstand lightsabers. For example: Mandalorian Iron, Phrik, Cortosis (sort of) etc. Adamantium has amazing durability feats and i think it could be even stronger than some of those materials here. So i think that a lightsaber could not cut through Wolverines Claws. Thank you for the Video btw.
tigersebel wolverine took a nuke to the face , only his admantium skeleton survived and quickly healed. also it cools down in seconds . imagine the heat of the nuke. so no, no amount of heat can melt admantium
Hm, if the admantium does cool down in seconds, then it must also heat up in seconds. Unless it's magic, in which case why are we even trying to use math?
Well to answer that in Marc Spector: moon knight vol 1 40, moon knight stated that the adamantium in his staff is invulnerable to all known acid. So it might not be able to melt those claws although we don't know what the alien acid blood so it's up for debate.
zuxis Ian Wouldn't there also be a slight heat increase due to the friction of the claws being forces out of his body? The claws would be run against all those small bones in his hands, so it would makes sense to me. This would probably be insignificant. also, wouldn't Wolverine's claws have blood on them while being forced out? you know, considering the claws come from inside his body and have to cut their way out? Wolverine could flick the blood at his enemies to blind them 😂
I always thought it was weird how Qui-Gon's lightsaber stabs directly into the blast door right away, but takes all that time to continually cut away at it.
This is a good question. Technically the answer is Yes. A lightsaber could cut through wolverine's claws. However it depends on a few parameters. And if those parameters are not met. Then the answer is No. If you could apply enough Force. NPI. And the power source of a lightsaber was strong enough. Then you could conceivably cut through. However no normal organism capable of wielding a lightsaber could apply that much force. NPI. Unless you were actually using the force. PI. However very few force-users are even capable of utilizing that much Force-power. And the more force that is applied with a lightsaber. The more power it draws. And since we would be talking about an astronomical amount of power to get through adamantium. We're not talking about an ordinary lightsaber here. So both an xtraordinary force-user and extraordinary lightsaber could conceivably do so. But even then it would take quite a bit of time. Which of course I'm sure wolverine would not sit still for. So it would have to be in extremely extraordinary situation. So in general I would say No. But I guess I'll watch the video now and find out what you thought. Well you almost had it right. You automatically discounted one of the prime features of adamantium. Making yourself wrong. Probably should stop doing that. For sake of and easier explanation. It doesn't matter how much energy you put into adamantium. It will never Re-Liquify. The closest thing to that is. Electromagnetic deformation. Which is not caused by heat. But a specific rearrangement of adamantium molecules. Otherwise you would have to apply heat energy directly. In what can be thought of in no uncertain terms. As an astronomical amount of energy. At which point it would turn directly into a gas. Not a liquid. And again that's over a long length of time. Much longer than one second. Come on man stop trying to cheat Aa Snap saw your addendum. But again that battle is not going to last very long. And even if it did. And burned away his body. outside of his skeleton. It would just grow back. However during that time. If thay could produce enough Force. using the force. And had a special power source. capable of producing astronomical amounts of power. Then yeah maybe. And that's as definitive as it's going to get.
Wolverine's claws took on laser eyes from that Deadpool from X-Men Origins Wolverine and in that film Deadpool got it from cyclops and I think cyclopsis heat vision is just as powerful as a lightsaber.
So just to add some info that may or may not make a difference, The handbook of the Marvel Universe does say " For eight minutes after the resins are mixed, the Adamantium can be molded into a particular shape as long as it is kept at a temperature of 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit. ...The extremely stable molecular structure of the Adamantium prevents it from molded further, even if the temperature remains high enough to keep it in liquefied form". It also states that a sufficient mass of Adamantium and survive a direct hit from a nuclear weapon. It doesn't give what the mass has to be, but that would indicate it can withstand high temperatures. I love the thought experiment though.
Although all metals can be re-melted, there are certain alloys that have a much higher melting point after they have crystallized into an alloy as compared to its constituent parts. You also stated in previous videos about the thin edges of Adamentium Claws. If the lightsaber touches the thin edges the thin edges would get to higher temperatures quicker.
An atomic bomb(nuclear or atombomb) as you called it produce 300000 degrees celsius of heat at ground zero. Not too much isnt it? Thats why concrete bunkers can withstand a nuclear explosion very close to ground zero. An H-bomb(thermonuclear) however produce 10 million at ground zero. Both cases the heat decrease rapidly. While 30 meters from ground zero the temperature is "only" 4000-6000 degree celsius with the A-bomb, with the H-bomb its still 3-400000 celsius. Under the fireball everything is burn or vaporize however further from the fireball the heatwave can only hurt you if you are directly exposed to the light. In the Wolverine movie, the nuke was the worst imitation of a real nuclear explosion. Heat rays are instantaneous as well as neutron radiation. The blastwave is not hot that far away from the fireball and it dont follows you inside a hole. At that distance they would suffer 3rd degree burns the instant when the exposion happened as well as temporaly blindness but nothing that cause instant death even to a normal person. If Wolverine would survive the explosion at ground zero, then he would probably survive a lightsaber attack, but i guess he would be instantly evaporate as any other person would.
Wolvie survived(well, his bones did) a nuclear blast at ground zero in the Civil War storyline... I was trying to figure out if the heat from that was comparable to a lightsaber
Logan Smith the silver had a sword made of the same material and his power in comic and in the suit during the movie make metals heat up so they can cut through anything.
Fun fact: In the comics, if you can affect adamantium on a molecular level, it will flat out liquid. Magneto was able to do this once, while Molecule Man and antarctic vibranium (the version that emits vibrations instead of absorbing them) have repeatedly done this.
*I literally didn't hear anything you just said.... I was too focused trying to figure out whether or not that's a Joe Dirt wig you're wearing?! Love that movie...*
Thor's hammer has enough power to shatter a planet Wolverine has survived nuclear explosions And Wolverine's skeleton/blade has been hit by cosmic entities that makes planets quakes AND IT DID NOTHING So.....the only way to make Lightsaber's cut through Wolverine's claws is to not make them Wolverine's claws anymore? Yeah thats fair and or logical
yes ikr. and you cant compare 2 canons XD in marvel adamantium is literally indestructible and cant even be melted twice but in star wars a lightsaber can cut through anything but another light saber...WTF THEY CANCEL OUT
Actually yes, you can cut trough another lightsaber provided it is not made from "lightsaber resistant" materials, which surprisingly very few force users used.
Timmy, kind of hard when the guy you're trying to kill can suspend you in the air, and smash you up and down until he gets bored. Honestly every major character in star wars at one point have moved star destroyers, try and tell me they couldn't pick up wolverine...
A side note that I noticed that would make a difference has to do with the crystal structure that you mentioned. Another possible explanation for the concept of "adamantium can only melt once" could have to do with impurities. If raw adamantium had even a small percentage of impurities in it's raw form (and many metal ores have rather high concentrations of impurities), it could drastically lower the melting point. Thus after melting once and effectively smelting out the impurities, it may crystalize completely differently and drastically raise the melting point of the pure metal to the extent that it seems unmeltable. This could allow the adamantium to stand up to the lightsaber for significantly longer. A real world comparison would be iron. Iron oxide can be smelted into iron at around 1250 C, but iron's melting point is 1510 C, and steel's melting point (being mostly iron with a small percentage of other impurities) being 1370C.
Also, the time needed was calculated using all three claws. A much shorter lock would be necessary if they were hit on the side, which is definitely feasible for most jedi to accomplish.
Actually, In the comics Wolverine was burned alive and extreme fire was everywhere, And only his skeleton. And even though you said his skin will boil out, who said he doesn't have regeneration. and how OLD Is wolverine at this time ?
Either way, how OLD Is he Is he at his prime In this battle. It depends and who said the person with the Lightsaber was trained or force sensitive, cause If they were then they could force choke Wolverine.
Using the example where the lightsaver goes through the door... The metal used to build any kind of spaceships would probably come from nanotubes because of the amount of metal needed and because it is so light.
in the movie wolverine from 2013 his adamantium claw also gets cut off by the silver samurai the same way, with somekind of red hot glowing sword he cuts through the adamantium, so the theory about a lightsaber doing the same is actually quiet legit
No a lightsaber cant cut the claws or true adamantium. The melting point of the metal is not the adamantium itself but the compounds that mix to become adamantium. True adamantium like the metal that cases wolverins entire skeleton is made of vibranium mixed with other alloys. According to the comic books, the components of the alloy are kept in separate batches - typically in blocks of resin - before molding. Adamantium is prepared by melting the blocks together, mixing the components while the resin evaporates. The alloy must then be cast within eight minutes. After it cools it can NEVER be remolded again. So no you cant melt true adamantium with a lightsaber. And you cant cut it either because the amount of force to even swing a saber remotly fast enough would break the saber. Adamantium wins
John Werner . I agree. I thought that was so lame and inconsistent when they shot him in the head. Stick to the script. Its indestructible once formed.
+ArchmageTech Lightsabers do not have magnetic fields, if they even are plasma swords (doubtful) they would use some other mechanism to contain the plasma (like, say, the Force).
How can a lightsaber break from attempting to cut through adamantium? I've never heard of lightsabers being broken by anything but the blade of another saber cutting through it (for instance, the final battle in The Phantom Menace when Darth Maul's saber is split in two). I dare you to logic THAT.
ArchmageTech of course the force wielder can also use the force to rip his adamantium skeleton out or use the conductivity of one of the alloys used to make the adamantium to their advantage by force lighting-ing him thus electrocuting his organs
Let me help you a little tiny bit. If it was a situation where all the Jedi had to do was push wolverine back and prevent him pressing a button or something. Its a pretty easy win for the Jedi due to his force powers. However in terms of fight to the death? The Jedi dont really have the power to kill Wolverine in their pocket. They can badly injure him, but he would fully recover in seconds., if they was to attempt to force choke him, it would take AWHILE, and I mean AWHILE as in a week or maybe even a month. (So Jedi`s do have a ability to kill wolverine, but I highly doubt they could sustain it for the time needed. And Brandon, I guess you only watched the movies. Magneto a bit like the jedi would just throw him away and maybe do a lot of harm to him. But magneto did his full power against him, and wolverine survived. He ripped the adamantium from him, molecule by molecule. And what happened? Wolverines healing factor got quite a bit supercharged. And he just fully regrown his skeleton very quickly. So even the guy who counters Wolverine on a large scale, struggles to actually kill him, that being said. In order to kill him. You need to literally do damage equivalent of a planet hitting/crushing him.
Niall Quinn you don't have to kill him to beat him and if we are talking about a Jedi master then they would be much better trained and even faster then wolverine could ever hope to be. Malgus without his light saber vs wolverine could be interesting though.
cccaaannn how so? In the movies the Adamantium does not re melt remember the hot Adamantium sword? It was heated so long and not once did it melt, heated Adamantium can only cut through Adamantium because the heat just adds stored energy to the Adamantium and basically creates a new form of Adamantium that’s stronger than regular Adamantium, the directors talk about it
One factor you didn't really take into account is latent heat of fusion. If Adamantium has a remarkably high latent heat of fusion, it would account for the behavior of the metal as described in the comics and movies. While it melts at 1500 degrees, it might require a huge energy input in order to change state from solid to liquid. Also, once liquified, it would hold a huge amount of heat that would have to be dissipated before it could solidify. This could explain how it was kept in a liquid state for so long, and why it was so hard to melt it in the first place.
I might be way off the mark here, but I always thought that adamantium was impervious to extremely high heat, especially from the likes of plasma cutting/weapons. I thought it was that when in liquid form, adamantium hadn't completed its chemical construction, much like concrete when you mix sand and water, once it set, than it could never be reduced to liquid form again. Therefore even if exposed to temperatures exceeding 1500 degrees the metal wouldn't melt because its chemical properties have already bonded and set.
In this particular case of adamantium claws v lightsaber, one needs also consider the thermal radiative properties of adamantium - if adamantium is conductive and radiative enough, it could dissipate all 4 MW as thermal radiation without any part reaching its melting point. This very property of thermal conductivity and radiativity is why (for instance) magnesium - a metal with a notable reputation for its flammability - can be safely used in automotive engine parts, provided the magnesium pieces are big enough.
Have you covered how lightsabres actually make physical contact with other sabres? If it is only plasma, it should just pass through one another. What I think is the lightsabre's 'blade' actually has some kind of solid core and is surrounded by a layer of plasma. Please correct me if I'm wrong... I don't know too much about Star Wars or Physics.
The repulsion of the magnetic fields that contain the plasma. They bounce off the strong fields as opposed to the plasma itself. Same reason that Electro-Staves and weapons can deflect Lightsabers. It's generated magnetic field, caused by electrifying the weapon, pushes against the magnetic field of the lightsaber with the effective solidity of a wall. This is actually how the Darksaber draws other Lightsabers to it. It's magnetic field lines is a flattened out oval shaped field, as opposed to the helical structure of the field of a regular Lightsaber - which makes the poles of that field uniform across all Lightsabers so it contains plasma. The Darksaber, however, has simply circular field lines, and as thin as it is the opposite pole can actually effect an opposing saber. Thus it "draws" other Lightsabers to itself like a, well, magnet.
The big, glaring issue in these calculations is that you assume it took Qui Gon Jinn an entire second to pierce the blast door, and it was clearly much less than that. Just watching the clip you shared, it's clear that he's cutting through a very big length of the door per second. Of course, the door isn't a full saber deep, but it seems like there's a lot more of it getting melted.
The energy of the claws would not imediately dissipate from them because of the heat transfer coefficient of the surrounding air. Therefore, the claws would store energy and take less energy applied from the lightsaber to cut through it with each contact.
I'd like to point out that, even if (somehow) adamantium can't be melted twice, it can still heat to a point where it becomes malleable. In fact, melting really isn't even the issue here. All that needs to happen is for the metal to be heated to a point where it's shape starts to warp and for a significant enough force to be applied to split it. When it gets heated in an area, that area becomes weak and easier to separate. It's also not "destroying" it because it's technically still intact. So the real question should be whether or not a jedi's swing of a lightsaber has enough force behind it.

A duel similar to this actually happened in the Star Wars EU/Legends novel "Shatterpoint."
To quote Mace Windu in the novel: "And the metal itself... well, that's an interesting story of its own. It seems to be an alloy that the fungi don't attack. It is extremely hard, and never loses its edge. Nor does it rust, or even tarnish. It also seems to be a superconductor. This is why my blade could not cut it: the entire shield is always the same temperature throughout. Even the energy of a lightsaber is instantly conducted away. Hold a blade against it long enough and the whole thing will melt, but it cannot be cut. Not by an energy blade."
That is much more like Vibranium.
Indeed! Great observation! I hadn't even thought of that. Interestingly, like Vibranium, the metal in the novel "Shatterpoint" (called Ultrachrome) was used in sharp, teardrop shaped shields called Vibroshields, the Ultrachrome having been salvaged from the armor of an ancient derelict Starship. Rather like how Captain America uses a Vibranium shield.
Mace Windu notes in the novel: "I use my sword as a shield. They use their shields as swords."
Except that Vibranium (at least the Wakandian) doesn't "conduct" the energy away, it absorbs it. The vibrations in the metal don't cause it to heat up, at least to a certain point. At some point, a shield made from pure (Wakandian) Vibranium would violently explode when exposed to an energy source like a Light Saber. Because that's what (Wakandian) Vibranium does.
Those teardrop shaped shields sound like prince rupert's drops.... which would make them basically indestructible if they can dissipate the energy caused by vibrations
I think there was a problem with your calculations, you calculated the 4MW using the entire area of the lightsaber when plunged into the blast door. More realistically the lightsaber would only be using its tip to melt the blast door as it was melting the material in front of it. This means the surface area used to melt the door would be much much smaller, more like the surface area of the outside of a semi sphere with a diameter of 3 cm.
1:49 "That's like saying that once water is ice, it can never become water again."
Actually, once water becomes ice, its crystalline structure can be altered into many different phases, some of which will only melt at much higher temperatures. Adamantium could be going through a similar transformation, freezing at about 1500F and then spontaneously reorganizing itself into a crystalline phase with a much higher melting point as it further cools to room temperature.
It is an alloy too, so this sounds like something that would happen
original title "15000 degree light saber vs wolverine claws"
1500 DEGREE plasma sword v movie wolverine blades
If the adamantium had a impossibly high heat conductivity in addition to an impossibly high specific heat capacity it could survive even longer against a lightsaber. And I think Logan's healing could probably deal with boiling skin. I mean, it can handle disintegration in some of it's more extreme iterations.
Logan's healing slows with multiple big wounds and 3rd degree burns are extremely painful.
Brandon Wrong yet again.
OLD Logan`s healing factor slows with multiple damage with big wounds and lots of pain. Alongside the clone Logan.
The original prime Logan can take pretty much anything. Hence why he is able to stand in a nuclear blast and heal just as quick as the damage deals to him. Alongside this. Without the healing factor slowing down at any point. As seen the Wolverine film. Straight after the nuclear explosion. It barely got through to his bone, not only this, but it healed all remaining wounds within seconds.
SPOILERS.
As its clearly states in Logan. When the doctor is talking to the clone, and at the other points of the movie.
The clone isnt a perfect copy. And he even slowed down purposely so they are able to control him.
How much he is able to heal is decreased due to how he was cloned.
How fast he can heal is decreased to be controlled.
Even Logan wouldn't survive the epicenter of a nuclear blast. He got by because he was in a well and far away from the actual explosion but he still had most of his skin burned off from the blast wave in the well. Young Logan is definitely more resilient but he can still die from taking too much damage at once or too much constant damage for his body to keep up with.
Brandon read the comics, it happens like 3 times, one of which they literally target HIM and drop it on him. He survives it as a walking adamantium skeleton by regenerates everything not long after.
Logan died from similar things in the comics. Try googling things that have killed wolverine.
Ok, but how long would it take for a lightsaber to kill Wolverine through cooking him via heat transfer with his skeleton, due to the speed of his regeneration? Can we use science to explain this one?
#BecauseScience
If we go by the comics, Logan will likely have that lightsaber split his body in half and this has happened in the past by forces arguably weaker than a lightsaber, and it never ends well for Logan when he loses massive chunks of his body including the skeleton.
@@entertainmentfan1463 It would have to be a direct blow to his brain. Killing his brain or overtaxing his healing factor are the only ways to put Logan down for good.
@@xaetaminvaela9830 Or the lightsaber can just chop off Logan's head. Pretty much the same result as killing his brain since Logan can't remote control his body despite I'm sure there's going to be fanboys out there claiming otherwise.
@@entertainmentfan1463 Well he can't control his body, but in one comic, Nick Fury dismembered him and kept his head several stories above his lungs, and he still didn't die because he could breathe with his skin somehow
@@vornamenachname989 Was that the Ultimate universe? I think I saw a picture of Wolverine's dismembered head from the Ultimate comics, but wasn't sure what story it came from.
I just absolutely love your videos for the sheer planning and effort that they look to take. Serious hats off to you Kyle, I only regret not discovering you sooner.
5:30 I can confirm that, there have been battles with sabers vs metal objects such as vibrosabers and such where they just quickly clash and back away as if the metal was never touched.
I waited so long for the surprise light saber
Tickle the pickle? Hey! That used to be my uncle's favorite game to play with me when I was young!
Nef i am sorry for you, is your uncle in jail?
The real question is if Pinocchio said my nose will grow now what would happen?
Simple, he would explode.
Problem solved.
Use the force Logan!
“A lightsaber can cut through almost anything, *even friendship*”
Awesome!!! - Been waiting for this episode like, forever... Thanks Kyle. Looking forward to the "Surprise Lightsaber" shirt!
The real question is would you rather have wolverines claws..or a light saber..?
What about plasma claws?
Keoni V probably a light saber because if I had the claws imagine the pain of having 6 metal claws ripping your skin. If I had his powers which I assume you mean than yeah but living forever might be lame though. Tbh I'd go with the claws but if I had a light saber I would grab anything I could get and try to cut stuff with it
The claws. Those bitches would make you don't use a weapon. You'd be the weapon.
well without a healing factor you'd slow die to the metals poisoning, even then the extra range from the light saber would be nice
A lightsaber. Way cooler and more visually impressive, a lot more civilised, longer range, more versatile, and less painful every time you get it out.
i still don't think that scene from the wolverine is valid, heating the metal ,as you said in this, would make it weaker thus the unheated version of the metal would be stronger and able to cut through the heated version, in that scene the heated sword should have been cut to pieces by wolverines claws.
2 Vectors That scene was just stupid.
never thought of that. makes sense. how the hell did he heat the blade up though. i would assume that would of taken awhile. maybe that robots ass is a plasma forge
2 Vectors According to comics Silver Samurai's katana can be "charged" with tachyons but... you know, pure bullshit
Especially since, if my memory is correct, Wolverine later got the sword and when he held it in two hands (the the "proper Japanese fashion") it automatically heated up to the glowing white hot stage in an instant. Not sure if that actually happened as I watched the movie a few years ago, but I seem to recall that happening.
are light sabers water proof? if so what would happen if you dropped one in the ocean?
They've already been shown being usable in water
ThePhantomSlayer I don't think all of them are. Kit Fisto's lightsaber was specially made to be used under water, at least according to the wiki. But I guess only certain ones being usable conflicts with some of the Clone Wars episodes
Cunt yeah would the whole ocean be evaporated? I think it's called the Leiden frost affect... where water boils so fast around a object that there is a space between the water and the hot object. but if you dropped a light saber in the ocean would it evaporate all the water within the lights sabers lifetime? or would the laden frost affect make it so it wouldn't? also if it did evaporate a lot of the water wouldn't there be like a rainstorm or whatever? plz respond nurdist
ThePhantomSlayer they probably evaporate the water around them
Satan yeah but it's so hot how would it affect what I think is called laden frost affect
“Plasma-tan” that sounds like a sword in a Japanese anime
I see that you have a TF2 profile pic.

Aleksey Mochalov I think it is too!
But Could Wolverine’s Adamantium Claws Cut Through a Lightsaber?
coin777 I want to know that too!
coin777 If plasma is gas, it should right?
One would think, but something can't cut and be cut at the same time, i believe. And Light Sabers deflect each other so I don't know.
Most probably couldn't, but depends on how you specify a cut. If we keep the definition of lightsaber as being a condensed and contained beam of plasma, than it would have to be contained in something presumably some kind of electromagnetic field - hence why it deflects laser blasts and other lightsabers and generally sometimes behaves as a solid object. Under this definition, it would probably bounce of kinda like when you try to make two same poles of magnets touch. However if lightsaber operates differently it could also just kinda go through with nothing at all happening. You can try it at home by cutting a flame of a candle with a knife ;-)
Willems Pierre red light sabers (with incredible effort) have broken the blades of 'normal' lightsabers.
But can they cut through friend zone?
Herman Bir Singh Grewal nothing can cut trough that
Herman Bir Singh Grewal 03:26 "indestructble"
the only thing that can cut through the friend zone is a bullet to the back of the head
Fufufu it literally got to 03:26 as I read your comment.
Birdofplay60a Nice. Your luck stats are up today! And you are a nice person! Could lady luck be smiling on you today! Quick Dude (or Dudette) go buy a lottery tickect or bet on a jockey! (Share the money if you win!)
As always, your sound effects are on point.
And this analysis is so on point. Based on how a battle like this would likely go down, Wolverine would most definitely get his claws cut and would die within the first couple exchanges.
i dont remember it being mentioned in previous videos but ive always wondered how qui-gon endures the heat from the molten metal in the phantom menace scene in this video. its clearly melting mere inches away from his hands.
Nothing can cut through a Nokia tho
Hiss Hiss true
I want Nokia and Samsung to partner together for a new military fragmentation explosive project. The explosive/incendiary force of a Galaxy Note 7 with the incredibly durable casing of a Nokia (Obviously structurally designed to fragment into shrapnel rather than simply be a uniform casing) would be awesome and put the fear of death into anyone, Hipster or Terrorist alike.
_a 1000° degree knife could tho..._
It's joke. Accept it
Nokia 3310 to be exact
WAIT YOU FORGOT SOMETHING!!!! Adamantium is magnetic, and given the Lightsaber (Plasma sword) is controlled by immensely strong magnetic fields, wouldn't it severely distort and crush Wolverine's claws when the two weapons clashed? I'm just thinking of this because of magnetos constant control over Wolverine in every battle. And you explained in a past video that light sabers were plasma tubes controlled by a magnetic field that was created by the hilt of the blade.
Adamantium would be ferromagnetic since he's not sticking to every metal object (like car keys for example). Therefore the domains in his claws would just align themselves with the lightsaber and the lightsaber would be just fine. I'm not sure if this next sentence is accurate but the aligned domains might actually make it easier for the lightsaber to cut through the claws. Good point though.
This needs to be the top comment
I don't know why people insist on treating Wolverine charging at Magneto as some kind of fight. If a piece of paper yelled and threw itself into a fire would it be considered a fight? How about if a bird cursed and threw itself into an oven? Because everytime Wolverine charges Magneto, everyone acts like "OH MAN HERE WE GO FIGHT OF THE CENTURY" and i just go "Oh look Wolverine is still stupid."
I believe the magnetic field is there only within the saber circumference, otherwise it would stick to metallic surfaces the whole time it's active or unintentionally pull small metal objects to it constantly.
Beau Henry problem is, lightsabers can cut through iron (durasteel is made out of iron), and that is magnetic too, so that wouldn't make a difference
0:56 "even friendship 😂😂
you forgot that stryker also said
"and you gotta keep it that way, because when it's cold, it stays cold."
It's like a soldering iron. When the tip is in contact with solder for a short time, it can't transfer enough heat to melt but holding it down will transfer enough to melt solder.
Even if my skin boils off me as you said at the end of the video I will come back, remember a nuke hit me and I became a walking skeleton and then I still regenerated my entire body.
wolverine It wasn't a fight tho. "you" wouldn't win anyway because of the force and all, force choke from the Vader and you die cus it would be like drowning. One of the ways wolverine can die.
Yeah until the Jedi lets go and I will be back again, I can drown and die and as soon as I can breath again I'm back up again. even Darth Maul has no chance against me, I'll slice him up.
SUSEJ SERROT if wolverine can come back from being a skeleton.. I'm pretty sure he can survive drowning
wolverine
he can just push you into space and you can't do anything till you can breathe again. And it will take a loooooooot of time till you land on a planet where enough oxygen is for you to Breath
Tide Fabric Softener no.. Wolverine is still a living human organism that requires oxygen. Wolverine only heals, he's not immortal. He would require oxygen in his blood to heal, and when he can't breathe then there is no oxygen for the blood to allow him regenerate. It would take a while to actually choke him but since someone like Vader can choke u until death. then it isn't a problem to kill wolverine or otherwise he use the force to send him off into deep space where he'll die much faster.
If these videos were 10 seconds long:
"No, because science."
Next question after that is how many of those brief contacts could the claws take before giving out? They don't automatically dissipate the heat as soon as they leave the lightsaber so each exchange should be increasing the temperature until they reach a point where they are dissipating as much energy as they are getting or they melt.
literally the only reason why i subbed to this channel, love your content mate.
can a lightsaber go through superman
Yes.
Yeah
Probobly nope Im not a genius but superman have survived laser before
if Superman can withstand an Omega Beam from Darkseid, then a Lightsaber isn't gonna be a problem from a guy who dips in the Sun.
smokonlytree no
There maybe chemicals where the liquid can be held at one temperature but once solidified it take a much higher heat. This article is about a chemical which exhibits another crazy quality it solidifies as it heats: radio-weblogs.com/0105910/2004/09/25.html
This is in keeping with the comics and the movies.
Adamantium is made with a series of resins so maybe?
Lee Myers adamantium cannot be melted once solid... its only liquid when its being made due to the chemical resisn already being in a liquid state
Can a lightsaber cut through wonder woman's bracelet?
not even close
is it Beskar? nope
is it cortosis? nope
is it Sith alchemy treated? nope
so it would cut like it as if it were butter
Barry Prince anyways, you could always force-pull the bracelet out the arm (or, if it won't come out, rip the arm off while trying)
SSVjoker What would that do? Ww bracelets are limiters to her power.
+PJames Bocaling - Not a chance. Post Crisis, Diana's vambraces are forged from the Aegis. They have shown capable of redirecting the combined power of the Pantheon Elite and shattering Mount Olympus in the process. Those bracelets have never been broken and are arguably the most durable metal in comics.
I really need to hand it to the editors. They make the episodes that much fun.

I seem to distantly remember watching an episode of the X-Men cartoon as a kid that involved Cyclops getting trapped in an adamantium room and he eventually escaped by concentrating his laser on a single point saying, "If I can't cut my way out, then I'll burn my way out."
That'd be a cool fight to watch. Especially if you follow that his claws wouldn't melt and instead the heat would conduct throughout his skeleton like you said at the end. Logan would have to balance his healing abilities with the extreme burns he's getting from the inside out. If he can get around that lightsaber he's good, but the whole time it's going to be agony. Love your work!
In think that a lightsaber couldn't cut through adamantium because in the star wars universe itself there are some materials that can withstand lightsabers. For example: Mandalorian Iron, Phrik, Cortosis (sort of) etc. Adamantium has amazing durability feats and i think it could be even stronger than some of those materials here. So i think that a lightsaber could not cut through Wolverines Claws. Thank you for the Video btw.
tigersebel wolverine took a nuke to the face , only his admantium skeleton survived and quickly healed. also it cools down in seconds . imagine the heat of the nuke. so no, no amount of heat can melt admantium
Hm, if the admantium does cool down in seconds, then it must also heat up in seconds. Unless it's magic, in which case why are we even trying to use math?
I love kyles vids
Question for 'Because Science'.
Could Xenomorph acid blood melt Wolverines claws?
No
nick solis Why Not. Where’s your evidence. You MUST always back claims with evidence.
@@draconismaximus4102 lol, none, Im guessing, because it's been about four months since you replyed to him and six since I replyed to you
Well to answer that in Marc Spector: moon knight vol 1 40, moon knight stated that the adamantium in his staff is invulnerable to all known acid. So it might not be able to melt those claws although we don't know what the alien acid blood so it's up for debate.
@@Vibranium_man well since Marvel now do Alien comics we may see a crossover with them and Wolverine at some point and see what they reckon.
"A lightsaber can cut through almost everything" even friendship LOL
My comeback to the essentially a post credit scene is "healing factor anyone?"
It wasn't me Charles, it wasn't me
5:21 Wait, what??? Did you use fahrenheit for delta T in that equation??????
#HillForMythBuster
Tell it to the Science Channel! -- KH
Wait wouldn't wolverine's claws start at body temperature because they spend most of their time in wolverine's arms?
Ooooooh that's clever
zuxis Ian Wouldn't there also be a slight heat increase due to the friction of the claws being forces out of his body?
The claws would be run against all those small bones in his hands, so it would makes sense to me. This would probably be insignificant.
also, wouldn't Wolverine's claws have blood on them while being forced out?
you know, considering the claws come from inside his body and have to cut their way out?
Wolverine could flick the blood at his enemies to blind them 😂
+Princely G ...
Healing. Factor.
3:31 Like the Wilhelm Scream in there. It's a nice touch.
Wait!
No!
Did his hand just scream?
I always thought it was weird how Qui-Gon's lightsaber stabs directly into the blast door right away, but takes all that time to continually cut away at it.
Plunging the lightsaber into the door takes much less than steering the whole length of it through the door
hope wolvie watches this video before going to fight a jedi...
Can you do a video about Spartans from halo and the Science need to make them
Can Wolverine exercise endlessly?
Yes.
No.
It depends.
Yes, because science
This is a good question. Technically the answer is Yes. A lightsaber could cut through wolverine's claws. However it depends on a few parameters. And if those parameters are not met. Then the answer is No. If you could apply enough Force. NPI. And the power source of a lightsaber was strong enough. Then you could conceivably cut through. However no normal organism capable of wielding a lightsaber could apply that much force. NPI. Unless you were actually using the force. PI. However very few force-users are even capable of utilizing that much Force-power. And the more force that is applied with a lightsaber. The more power it draws. And since we would be talking about an astronomical amount of power to get through adamantium. We're not talking about an ordinary lightsaber here. So both an xtraordinary force-user and extraordinary lightsaber could conceivably do so. But even then it would take quite a bit of time. Which of course I'm sure wolverine would not sit still for. So it would have to be in extremely extraordinary situation. So in general I would say No. But I guess I'll watch the video now and find out what you thought.
Well you almost had it right. You automatically discounted one of the prime features of adamantium. Making yourself wrong. Probably should stop doing that. For sake of and easier explanation. It doesn't matter how much energy you put into adamantium. It will never Re-Liquify. The closest thing to that is. Electromagnetic deformation. Which is not caused by heat. But a specific rearrangement of adamantium molecules. Otherwise you would have to apply heat energy directly. In what can be thought of in no uncertain terms. As an astronomical amount of energy. At which point it would turn directly into a gas. Not a liquid. And again that's over a long length of time. Much longer than one second. Come on man stop trying to cheat
Aa Snap saw your addendum. But again that battle is not going to last very long. And even if it did. And burned away his body. outside of his skeleton. It would just grow back. However during that time. If thay could produce enough Force. using the force. And had a special power source. capable of producing astronomical amounts of power. Then yeah maybe. And that's as definitive as it's going to get.
Your editing is so friking cool
I think we're all missing the real question here...
How did Thor grow his hair back so fast???
Wigs.. and makeup artists
Wolverine's claws took on laser eyes from that Deadpool from X-Men Origins Wolverine and in that film Deadpool got it from cyclops and I think cyclopsis heat vision is just as powerful as a lightsaber.
But cyclops "laser" is not a laser at least I'm repeatedly told it is a concussive beam... What ever that is.
k shark Lol, Cyclops uses a concussive beam.
Be honest how many of you believe a lightsaber can go through adamantium come-on its anamabtium you can't break it
I'm not too sure what Cyclops uses hell maybe he's a Kryptonian. That can only release solar radiation from his eyes
It doesn't really matter Does Qui-Gon or Darth Vader have a sweet ass supercharged healing Factor 😜
But there is something called the force which jedi' s have witch they could just hold wolverine up and then cut him in half
and there's something called healing factor which would just regrow wolvies body every single fuckin time
So just to add some info that may or may not make a difference, The handbook of the Marvel Universe does say " For eight minutes after the resins are mixed, the Adamantium can be molded into a particular shape as long as it is kept at a temperature of 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit. ...The extremely stable molecular structure of the Adamantium prevents it from molded further, even if the temperature remains high enough to keep it in liquefied form". It also states that a sufficient mass of Adamantium and survive a direct hit from a nuclear weapon. It doesn't give what the mass has to be, but that would indicate it can withstand high temperatures.
I love the thought experiment though.
Although all metals can be re-melted, there are certain alloys that have a much higher melting point after they have crystallized into an alloy as compared to its constituent parts.
You also stated in previous videos about the thin edges of Adamentium Claws. If the lightsaber touches the thin edges the thin edges would get to higher temperatures quicker.
I have one, why aren't wolverines teeth adimantium , apologize for the misspelling
Because he only got adamantium coated onto his bones. Nothing else.
Teeth are bone, buddy.
Yeah but they didn't coat his teeth
Nathan Allen why didn't coat it
Stet Tan teeth aren't bones, if they are why are they stronger than steel and bone it self?
Adamanitum > Atomic Bomb a Atomic Bomb at impact is 7 million degrees Celsius. Wolverine survived that with his claws and shell still intact so....
An atomic bomb(nuclear or atombomb) as you called it produce 300000 degrees celsius of heat at ground zero. Not too much isnt it? Thats why concrete bunkers can withstand a nuclear explosion very close to ground zero. An H-bomb(thermonuclear) however produce 10 million at ground zero. Both cases the heat decrease rapidly. While 30 meters from ground zero the temperature is "only" 4000-6000 degree celsius with the A-bomb, with the H-bomb its still 3-400000 celsius. Under the fireball everything is burn or vaporize however further from the fireball the heatwave can only hurt you if you are directly exposed to the light.
In the Wolverine movie, the nuke was the worst imitation of a real nuclear explosion. Heat rays are instantaneous as well as neutron radiation. The blastwave is not hot that far away from the fireball and it dont follows you inside a hole. At that distance they would suffer 3rd degree burns the instant when the exposion happened as well as temporaly blindness but nothing that cause instant death even to a normal person.
If Wolverine would survive the explosion at ground zero, then he would probably survive a lightsaber attack, but i guess he would be instantly evaporate as any other person would.
Wolvie survived(well, his bones did) a nuclear blast at ground zero in the Civil War storyline... I was trying to figure out if the heat from that was comparable to a lightsaber
Anyone remember the time he was thrown into the sun? His skeletal structure was just fiNe.
Better idea... just cut off the whole arm. It happens often enough in Star Wars.
And doesn't Silver Samurai cut Wolverine's claws off in "The Wolverine"? Please explain.
you cant cut off his arm any easier than you can cut the claws, his entire skeleton is fused with adamantium
Logan Smith the silver had a sword made of the same material and his power in comic and in the suit during the movie make metals heat up so they can cut through anything.
LordTalron Swords cut body parts off easily without having to cut through bone.
Iirc he used an Adamantium katana that vibrated at a specific frequency
what about when Logan stops "Deadpool's" laser beams, his claws we're glowing hot.
Fun fact: In the comics, if you can affect adamantium on a molecular level, it will flat out liquid. Magneto was able to do this once, while Molecule Man and antarctic vibranium (the version that emits vibrations instead of absorbing them) have repeatedly done this.
*I literally didn't hear anything you just said.... I was too focused trying to figure out whether or not that's a Joe Dirt wig you're wearing?! Love that movie...*
Thor's hammer has enough power to shatter a planet
Wolverine has survived nuclear explosions
And Wolverine's skeleton/blade has been hit by cosmic entities that makes planets quakes
AND IT DID NOTHING
So.....the only way to make Lightsaber's cut through Wolverine's claws is to not make them Wolverine's claws anymore? Yeah thats fair and or logical
Oh there are ways around the skeleton......I mean stick the lightsaber through his Eye hole would be my suggestion
or just kill the guy wielding the ssword
yes ikr. and you cant compare 2 canons XD in marvel adamantium is literally indestructible and cant even be melted twice but in star wars a lightsaber can cut through anything but another light saber...WTF THEY CANCEL OUT
Actually yes, you can cut trough another lightsaber provided it is not made from "lightsaber resistant" materials, which surprisingly very few force users used.
Timmy, kind of hard when the guy you're trying to kill can suspend you in the air, and smash you up and down until he gets bored. Honestly every major character in star wars at one point have moved star destroyers, try and tell me they couldn't pick up wolverine...
we are missing the point..it all depends on the midichlorians
averageginger of course! why didn't I think of that, genius!!!
averageginger u failed to be funny
A side note that I noticed that would make a difference has to do with the crystal structure that you mentioned. Another possible explanation for the concept of "adamantium can only melt once" could have to do with impurities. If raw adamantium had even a small percentage of impurities in it's raw form (and many metal ores have rather high concentrations of impurities), it could drastically lower the melting point. Thus after melting once and effectively smelting out the impurities, it may crystalize completely differently and drastically raise the melting point of the pure metal to the extent that it seems unmeltable. This could allow the adamantium to stand up to the lightsaber for significantly longer. A real world comparison would be iron. Iron oxide can be smelted into iron at around 1250 C, but iron's melting point is 1510 C, and steel's melting point (being mostly iron with a small percentage of other impurities) being 1370C.
Also, the time needed was calculated using all three claws. A much shorter lock would be necessary if they were hit on the side, which is definitely feasible for most jedi to accomplish.
Actually, In the comics Wolverine was burned alive and extreme fire was everywhere, And only his skeleton. And even though you said his skin will boil out, who said he doesn't have regeneration. and how OLD Is wolverine at this time ?
The True Blue Sonic Fan that wasn't focused heat, big deference.
Either way, how OLD Is he Is he at his prime In this battle. It depends and who said the person with the Lightsaber was trained or force sensitive, cause If they were then they could force choke Wolverine.
To save your time. Yes it can if they're both in contact for more than 1 second.
Justin Rogers I don't know anything about wolverine but In starwars there were plenty of things that could take lightsaber blows.
Cheers!
Hey there Kyle, another sabre question 4 ya: could a lightsabre burn Superman's skin?
If it's a red lightsaber yes.
S&k Studios
Green*
That
Kryptonite saber activate!
No of course not, why would it?
Using the example where the lightsaver goes through the door... The metal used to build any kind of spaceships would probably come from nanotubes because of the amount of metal needed and because it is so light.
in the movie wolverine from 2013 his adamantium claw also gets cut off by the silver samurai the same way, with somekind of red hot glowing sword he cuts through the adamantium, so the theory about a lightsaber doing the same is actually quiet legit
you forget wolverines healing factor...
Monk B his adamantium does heal, it’s part of his body structure
@Adamentium vibranium wolverine's healing factor affected the adamantium creating beta adamantium which can heal along with his bones
No a lightsaber cant cut the claws or true adamantium. The melting point of the metal is not the adamantium itself but the compounds that mix to become adamantium. True adamantium like the metal that cases wolverins entire skeleton is made of vibranium mixed with other alloys. According to the comic books, the components of the alloy are kept in separate batches - typically in blocks of resin - before molding. Adamantium is prepared by melting the blocks together, mixing the components while the resin evaporates. The alloy must then be cast within eight minutes. After it cools it can NEVER be remolded again. So no you cant melt true adamantium with a lightsaber. And you cant cut it either because the amount of force to even swing a saber remotly fast enough would break the saber. Adamantium wins
Adamantium bullet is the movie stuff. So no and no again. Lightsaber loses every time
John Werner . I agree. I thought that was so lame and inconsistent when they shot him in the head. Stick to the script. Its indestructible once formed.
+ArchmageTech Lightsabers do not have magnetic fields, if they even are plasma swords (doubtful) they would use some other mechanism to contain the plasma (like, say, the Force).
How can a lightsaber break from attempting to cut through adamantium? I've never heard of lightsabers being broken by anything but the blade of another saber cutting through it (for instance, the final battle in The Phantom Menace when Darth Maul's saber is split in two). I dare you to logic THAT.
ArchmageTech of course the force wielder can also use the force to rip his adamantium skeleton out or use the conductivity of one of the alloys used to make the adamantium to their advantage by force lighting-ing him thus electrocuting his organs
jedi V wolverine
jedi wins because force
The dark earth tannards Wolverine can take on most jedi knights because jedi have a tendency to forget they have telekinesis.
Phesheya Bhembe Wolverine could probably take on jedi knights but not masters
It's the magneto problem for logan.
Let me help you a little tiny bit.
If it was a situation where all the Jedi had to do was push wolverine back and prevent him pressing a button or something. Its a pretty easy win for the Jedi due to his force powers.
However in terms of fight to the death? The Jedi dont really have the power to kill Wolverine in their pocket. They can badly injure him, but he would fully recover in seconds., if they was to attempt to force choke him, it would take AWHILE, and I mean AWHILE as in a week or maybe even a month. (So Jedi`s do have a ability to kill wolverine, but I highly doubt they could sustain it for the time needed.
And Brandon, I guess you only watched the movies. Magneto a bit like the jedi would just throw him away and maybe do a lot of harm to him. But magneto did his full power against him, and wolverine survived.
He ripped the adamantium from him, molecule by molecule. And what happened? Wolverines healing factor got quite a bit supercharged. And he just fully regrown his skeleton very quickly.
So even the guy who counters Wolverine on a large scale, struggles to actually kill him, that being said. In order to kill him. You need to literally do damage equivalent of a planet hitting/crushing him.
Niall Quinn you don't have to kill him to beat him and if we are talking about a Jedi master then they would be much better trained and even faster then wolverine could ever hope to be. Malgus without his light saber vs wolverine could be interesting though.
Now I wanna see a comparison between adamantium and Beskar with the new information brought by the mandalorian
2:27 - okay I was wondering where you were going with those animals, hahahaha. I love this show :-)
adamantium can not melt again (after first time),even you give more heat than original melting point.movies made it wrong
cccaaannn how so? In the movies the Adamantium does not re melt remember the hot Adamantium sword? It was heated so long and not once did it melt, heated Adamantium can only cut through Adamantium because the heat just adds stored energy to the Adamantium and basically creates a new form of Adamantium that’s stronger than regular Adamantium, the directors talk about it
Yes they can. Because starwars is way better then wolverine.
Thundernugget your logic is sound
I agree.
Agreed
True
Boring
i still think the coolest thing about this show is the fact that you always write things backwards
with both your hands
that right there is skill XDD
I want to see the fight where the lightsaber can't melt the adamantium so Wolverine just keeps getting his skin boiled off and keeps fighting!
I like how the power down sound was like the sound made by the tractor beam controls when Obi wan powered them down.
One factor you didn't really take into account is latent heat of fusion. If Adamantium has a remarkably high latent heat of fusion, it would account for the behavior of the metal as described in the comics and movies. While it melts at 1500 degrees, it might require a huge energy input in order to change state from solid to liquid. Also, once liquified, it would hold a huge amount of heat that would have to be dissipated before it could solidify. This could explain how it was kept in a liquid state for so long, and why it was so hard to melt it in the first place.
I've wondered about this for a long time. Thank you.
I might be way off the mark here, but I always thought that adamantium was impervious to extremely high heat, especially from the likes of plasma cutting/weapons. I thought it was that when in liquid form, adamantium hadn't completed its chemical construction, much like concrete when you mix sand and water, once it set, than it could never be reduced to liquid form again. Therefore even if exposed to temperatures exceeding 1500 degrees the metal wouldn't melt because its chemical properties have already bonded and set.
In this particular case of adamantium claws v lightsaber, one needs also consider the thermal radiative properties of adamantium - if adamantium is conductive and radiative enough, it could dissipate all 4 MW as thermal radiation without any part reaching its melting point. This very property of thermal conductivity and radiativity is why (for instance) magnesium - a metal with a notable reputation for its flammability - can be safely used in automotive engine parts, provided the magnesium pieces are big enough.
Have you covered how lightsabres actually make physical contact with other sabres? If it is only plasma, it should just pass through one another.
What I think is the lightsabre's 'blade' actually has some kind of solid core and is surrounded by a layer of plasma.
Please correct me if I'm wrong... I don't know too much about Star Wars or Physics.
The repulsion of the magnetic fields that contain the plasma. They bounce off the strong fields as opposed to the plasma itself. Same reason that Electro-Staves and weapons can deflect Lightsabers. It's generated magnetic field, caused by electrifying the weapon, pushes against the magnetic field of the lightsaber with the effective solidity of a wall.
This is actually how the Darksaber draws other Lightsabers to it. It's magnetic field lines is a flattened out oval shaped field, as opposed to the helical structure of the field of a regular Lightsaber - which makes the poles of that field uniform across all Lightsabers so it contains plasma. The Darksaber, however, has simply circular field lines, and as thin as it is the opposite pole can actually effect an opposing saber. Thus it "draws" other Lightsabers to itself like a, well, magnet.
The big, glaring issue in these calculations is that you assume it took Qui Gon Jinn an entire second to pierce the blast door, and it was clearly much less than that. Just watching the clip you shared, it's clear that he's cutting through a very big length of the door per second. Of course, the door isn't a full saber deep, but it seems like there's a lot more of it getting melted.

Mr. Hill, you are my hero!
Awesome video as always!
The energy of the claws would not imediately dissipate from them because of the heat transfer coefficient of the surrounding air. Therefore, the claws would store energy and take less energy applied from the lightsaber to cut through it with each contact.
I'd like to point out that, even if (somehow) adamantium can't be melted twice, it can still heat to a point where it becomes malleable. In fact, melting really isn't even the issue here. All that needs to happen is for the metal to be heated to a point where it's shape starts to warp and for a significant enough force to be applied to split it. When it gets heated in an area, that area becomes weak and easier to separate. It's also not "destroying" it because it's technically still intact. So the real question should be whether or not a jedi's swing of a lightsaber has enough force behind it.
