    Hey Kyle, since saying a lot is my modus operandi (so sorry, I can't help it), I feel like three-time super nerd is a good time for a short speech.
    First of all, thanks a lot for the third super nerd. I am really glad to see that my comments are appreciated and it's hugely affirming for me as a sprouting physicist. Because science is by far my favorite channel on youtube, because you do science on weird stuff, but in a good, formal way. I love the livestreams, even though it's usually at 1 a.m. where I live, I always do watch them the next day. Footnotes is great, because to me, being open to new insights and admitting when you're wrong is what science is about. Lastly, I think you're a great host. You've found the perfect balance between goofing around and still sticking to the point and bringing actual science and math to the world. You said on the livestream this week that if you didn't do because science, you'd probably just be an engineer. Although I have no reason to believe that you'd be bad at that, I think that would be a terrible waste, because you are an amazing science communicator, and I really hope you keep doing because science for a very long time still.

    @evanberry4872 5 лет назад +1

    i know this likely wont make a difference but in the comics there have been instances where gambits powers on a thrown card do cut heavy metal hand cuffs and other metal restraints, also his powers are described as "charging objects with kinetic energy" which suggests he may be able to force more kinetic energy into the object than it should be able to have, which would explain why the objects he charges glow. the maximum affect of the charged object could still be limited by the mass and material, but maybe not as limited as your suggesting.

    Two things:

    2. To those questioning the increased mass of energetic things: E=mc^2 therefore M=E/C^2 (relativistic mass does change based on energy however if you take any number and divide by C^2 it's gonna be a tiny number).
    As always Kyle great work. That deer at the beginning is the stuff of nightmares btw

  • @a-blivvy-yus
    @a-blivvy-yus 5 лет назад +1

    The comics directly say Gambit *charges* an object with energy from *himself,* using some nebulous concept they call "kinetic energy" (kind of ignoring that being a real term with an unrelated meaning). If he were to somehow be able to "store" kinetic energy as some kind of unknown form of potential energy within an object, and use this stored energy - which you could maybe call "kinetic potential energy" (which is not a real thing but makes comic book sense) to trigger partial fission of the object, then he'd probably be able to cause some pretty hefty explosions depending how efficiently his power was able to rip the atoms of an object apart. The ease with which he could do this would *PROBABLY* be at least somewhat proportional to the mass of the elements from which the object is constructed, and it would most likely be the larger atoms that are more likely to split, and from that you could assume that materials which are made using larger atoms, being more likely to split, would produce exponential increases in his destructive potential. Causing an already-unstable block of uranium to spontanneously undergo spontaneous fission randomly throughout its mass would likely make the entire block go critical even if his power couldn't cause the whole thing to detonate on its own, while attempting to rip apart, for example, a hydrogen atom, it wouldn't have anything smaller to break down to, so he'd probably just shatter a few hydrogen atoms into a proton and an electron. Every dew hundred times he did this, he could maybe pop out a neutron or two if he happened to have charged some deuterium or tritium in the mix.
    From here, you could probably work out what percentage of a playing card's mass would need to spontaneously undergo fission to release the appropriate grenade-level explosion of a card in the comics, and you'd have an approximate starting point for how his power would scale when using higher or lower mass particles in the reaction. No mayyer if he used paper or plastic cards, both are made from significant amounts of Hydrogen, which as mentioned above, would probably limit how much of the substance will undergo any effective form of fission, but also include significant amounts of Carbon (and a bit of Oxygen in paper), which could be detonated to produce a good amount of destructive power... if you can overcome the forces holding the atoms together.
    Maybe not the most plausible idea from a perspective of real science, but it makes more sense than a lot of other comic book "SCIENCE!" does.

    Preemptive comment to next episode: Best way to hear a scream in space would be either conductive vibration (may not be the technical description, I refer to the phenomenon where one can hear a train coming by placing their ear on the track long before it becomes audible through the air), or by measuring the vibration of a surface caused by sound in its proximity, similar to laser-based microphones that can pick up sounds based on the vibration of the surface of a cup of coffee, or a window. Sensitive enough equipment might be able to detect the sound from a rather extreme distance.

    I got one of those "surprise bo staffs" for Christmas, and my family was terrified of it. When they gave it to me (unwrapped, because they were afraid to move it too much) my mom referred to it as the "dangerous gift." The way my little sister reacted to hearing that, I was under the impression that it might be something like a dud hand grenade, but when my dad came out with it they were all like "don't point it at ME" which had me incredibly confused, but still thinking "bomb, gun, wtf?" When I found out what it was, I loved it, and understood the scare factor, but it is really hard to condense it back into a small cylinder after you free the beast.

    @jaunusender6166 5 лет назад

    I like how when they showed the Inhuman in Agents of SHIELD with a similar power his items weren't always the proper density, it was that way in the 90s cartoon for Gambit as well. They can float and burn for almost 20 or 30 seconds in some cases, or explode almost instantly. In some cases the heat causes the item to float, like the playing cards or the occasional wrapper; in other cases an already heavy object, beans in the Notes for Remi, a handful of items for the Inhuman including a beer glass and coasters. His control is also canonically so well he can remove the charge from an item. So the molecular decay/stability and charge to use as a fuse, he could probably do something like... throw a fully charged baseball with a 5 second fuse and a density closer to a brick in the shape of the ball, then pick up the ball and remove the charge.
    That is why his bo staff scares me almost as much as your use of one in a small space around electronics and memorabilia. He can charge the staff increasing the density while maintaining some of the other physical properties, I think he ends up with a metal one in most cases, but I'm sure he's used wooden ones before and it makes me wonder what would happen if he used that Lingum Vitae (sp) wood for a staff. The wood is so dense it doesn't even float in water, and that is before the charge. He also canonically kept Aces and Faces with different properties, the Ace of spades usually being something of a metal, even a lead or an alloy with a high energy potential to begin with.
    Hope you read this and get an idea or at least a laugh. Thank you for answering the antimatter question for me, that has been bugging me for years. Wonder how long he could hold that on a slow fuze burn for, if he didn't have to keep in contact with the antimatter to delay the explosion we could have a great power source. But the contact with antimatter IS the first step.

    Technically people can hear each other in the space station because there is molecules of air to vibrate off of.. but in a void it may be a little harder. I mean no air molecules to vibrate your voice then no sound right? But still people can send radio messages to hear each other in space, which would just be talking to each other from their self contained suits, walketalkie style. So yeah I guess radiowaves/light/electromagmatism/radiation propagate through space pretty well. Like you said in your other episode, there is no ether to move through so there wouldn't be any sound for your voice outside your closed system. I don't think you would be able to hear an explosion on the ISS if you were out in a suit, only connected by a cable, although you might be able to feel it through the cable or see it's effects on the station. Now.. technically if our moon was massive enough to hold some radon in it's atmosphere would our voice be able to propagate through it? I don't know honestly, at that point we would be exposing ourselves to too much radiation anyways. Would your voice be able to propagate through a chamber of pure xenon gas? I don't know still.. I think any atmosphere on a moon would be stripped away by the gravitational force of the planet anyways, maybe if it was a bit farther out.. but then it might leave our gravity well.

    Just a thought I had while watching this and the Gambit card episode. Since it was said in the comics that Gambit's cards have the energy of a hand grenade, and seeing what was said in the episode, then to me it sounds like Gambit's cards are along the lines of the grenade, Stielhandgranate (German for "stalk hand grenade") used by the German Army during WW2. From what a WW2 German Army reenactor told my dad and I, said grenade wasn't a fragmentation grenade like what was used by the Americans, but more of a concussion weapon. When using it, according to the reeneactor, German troops would more often then not toss said grenade into a room or enclosed space in order maximize its effect. Hearing what was said in the beginning of the episode it sounded to me that Gambit's cards were like that. Hope that made sense.

    I have this thought experiment (if you can call it that) that I have been thinking for a while:
    If you can stop time in a spherical area, and let's skip the if that's possible or not. Now imagine someone shotting a bullet, it will likely stop at the edge of the sphere, but it's not just objects that can enter the sphere, light is entering too. But light wouldn't go beyond the edge, the photons would accumulate and the entire sphere would be convered on photons. Then if the time started flowing again and it would have mi/bi/trillions of photons flying about. Basically a flahsbang.
    With that said, I would like to see a episode exploring time stop, it such a interesting power but I feel it would have way too much complication if we would be more scientifical.

    Kyle,
    In a closed system, a mole of a substance would lose mass to heat up and gain mass to cool down. Therefore, if you compare two identical mass items at different temperatures; then cool down the hotter one. The one you cooled down would have infinitesimally more mass. Of course, that is in a closed thermal system (somewhat better than a YETI). Only in this way could you say that the hot version of identical quantities was more massive.
    [avoiding using weight, as mass is more precise]
    If you had a closed system and had two identical mass items at the same temperature and pressure, and then one was made hotter; then it would have infinitesimally less mass; as mass would have to have been converted to heat (since closed system). However, when cooled back to the original temperature, both masses would be identical.
    In the above examples, assume no chemical reactions took place.
    Cup of water (or other, volume related measurement)
    Because most liquids become more dense as they are cooled; a cup of water at 90`C would hold less mass than a cup of water at 20`. Water is special in that it expands when it is cooled lower than 4`C. When you cool water to 4`C it compresses. It is those last 4` where it expands (and busts pipes if contained......sooooo, densest liquid form would be at 4`C. Plasma is kinda beyond molecular as it, by definition, has dissociated atoms and their electrons. By definition, both would have the same mass/weight; however, if you could have a closed system, when you cooled down the plasma, then it would have gained a slight (infinitesimal) bit of mass/weight.

    You know that the term "whelmed" is actually synonymous with "overwhelmed" it already means something that crests beyond one's ability to cope with (literally refers to waves taller than the deck of a ship), saying overwhelmed is just kind of a cheeky over-emphasis that became popular enough among the educated rebellious youth of the period to effectively supersede the original term.
    Kind of like saying "irregardless" regardless already means "without regard", so irregardless is "without without regard". Its redundant, and doesn't really mean what people think it means, but its gradually becoming more common parlance in a similar way, and perhaps it will supersede the original in a similar manner someday.

    Something I am wondering, what is the latent potential chemical energy of steel? Like, if you were able to break the molecular bonds of steel, how much energy would be released? I ask, because there is actually a thing called combat cards that have a sharpened steel frame that is inside the paper edge of the playing card that allow the card to be used normally, but if thrown can be like light, weak throwing stars. If Gambit could unleash the chemical energy of that steel, what would the difference be?

    I hate to nitpick, but if tried to measure the mass of cold water in a vacuum (12:34), it would be boiling (and very hard to measure the differences in mass because of motion between hot and cold water). I believe the water would also be losing some energy to the vacuum.

    Fun fact... the original definition of 'whelmed' means literally the same as 'overwhelmed', the reason why people started to use 'overwhelmed' is for the same reason why we use terms like 'rise up' or 'end result', it has a bit more punch to it.
    So technically if it whelms us, then it is overwhelming us... unless at some point someone was able to take the Young Justice version of Robin/Nightwing's definition of it (being between over and under) and make it official.

      Warships are commonly built from half an inch to inch thick steel plate. Finnish military war time tests on the effect of sachel charges showed that a 2kg TNT charge could pierce about 1cm of steel when exploded on it. Hand grenades have commonly hundred or couple hundred grams of TNT, so ten times that could hardly make a hole in the side of the ship. Helicopter carrier was the ship in question if recall correctly. That would be a ship of tens of thousands of tons in displacement. Small hole in side would do nothing to the ship.

      Except there aren't many hiding places in space. Even a little bit of excess heat can give away your position from a VERY long way away. It gets even harder to sneak up on someone if they use any kind of active sensing system (radar or searchlights).
      And this all assumes that you are far enough away from the nearest nuclear fire pit (aka star) that your prey can't easily see you with reflected nuclear glow (aka starlight).

    We have no real definition of his power, but if they stack, it may be the fudging to get the hand grenade total.

    Water is special in that when it turns from a liquid to a solid its crystals align in such a way that it gets larger in volume than when it was liquid. This is why your pipes are bursting in the midwest polar vortex right now. Hence, when you say "very cold water takes up less volume when you heat it up" that's only partly true, depending on how cold your "very cold water" is. gaseous water does take up more space than liquid water though, which is why tea kettles whistle when they get hot.

    I know as a copier repair technician of 20+ years, that the typical, letter sized document, with one paragraph of print, using Arial font of 12 for the size on it, covered 12% of the paper's surface.
    This was a standard, created by Canon Corp, to definitively show how many pages could be printed on their machines for each bottle of their toner.
    An important part of explaining, "Total Cost per Page".
    This standard was eventually adopted by all the other manufactures to, basically, be sure one was comparing apples to apples.
    Oddly enough, these numbers never listed the weight of toner (ink) on a page. Obviously, it was negligible and unimportant at the time. (Mutant powers had never entered the wild, wild world of office management!)
    Thing is, printed pages always retained either a negative or positive charge as a result of the manufacturing process. This charge varied depending on the method a particular copier used in its image formation process.
    Even though copiers used some basic methods to remove this residual charge, it could be removed entirely. As a result, it was always known that each end every page from a copy machine/laser printer still had electrical potential.
    This is why offices, during the 80's and 90's instructed personnel to avoid wearing sweaters or other items of clothing that were made of wool.
    So....(Phew!)...COULD this electrical charge add to, or take away from, the energy potential Gambit would give an object? Resulting in an increase or decrease to the resulting explosion?
    A printed page a paper, Gambit might have folded into a paper airplane, (like most boys learn to make at an early age, ahh manhood), could have a noticeably greater explosion potential than say, something like a playing card.
    Playing cards are typically printed with a liquid ink printer. Most liquid ink printing methods do not utilize a positive or negatively charged medium.
    The end result COULD mean that paper airplanes would become his weapon of choice!
    And maybe, he'd even rub his feet on a carpet before charging up an attack! 😉

    It is an interesting thing. Like, rather than use just the chemical energy in the object, he charges objects with energy. In a sense, he uses playing cards because they are convenient in many ways. Easy to carry, easy to get, so on. But he can make explode any object, basically.
