*Don’t worry, no spoilers here!* (I WILL IMMEDIATELY BAN SPOILERY PEOPLE. IF YOU NEED TO POST A LIGHT SPOILER, PLEASE INCLUDE LINES SO IT FALLS BELOW "READ MORE") This was a lot of fun, but I did film it before Infinity War came out. I’ve now seen the movie, and this analysis would have to change a bit (I won’t say how!). Still, I think we can learn something interesting. Expect more Infinity War science soon. Thanks for watching!
Also, the trailers I’m talking about were exclusive to SDCC and D23, so here are the stills from that scene if you want: ew.com/movies/avengers-infinity-war-exclusive-photos

Because Science I've seen it too 🤓
Oh no. Spoilers in the next vlog?
"That's no moon" - Obi-Wan Kenobi
@Erin Heck
If the mass of the Moon is reduced, the effect of gravity would translate into a proportionately smaller force. Its orbit would not be affected.
Lol, I was just typing a comment about why are you assuming he is applying this force in just one place instead of in a uniform way, when the video got to that. xD
Also since he can manipulate space and time, maybe he's using some quantum magic and just increasing the chances of finding the moon closer to the planet?
Forget a moon, Thanos threw a literal black hole at Doctor Strange.
Snaake yeah
And Strange turned it into butterflies
Then, plot twist.
"Mirror Dimension!"
hence muse created an album named - black hole and butterflies
vortex*
You throw another moon at me.... And I'm gonna lose it.
Yeah, pretty bad line.
Stark
You know me?
I do.. you're not the one cursed with knowledge
The only cursed is you
Brandon's Blue Gaming
what if there’s no more moons
*_Throws another moon_*
What are you gonna do
Was it a full moon that was thrown or pieces of it
He uses the power stone to break it up, space stone to bring the pieces into the atmosphere and throws it at them.
8:19 ...is it just me or is ignoring "fundamental physics like Newton's third law" the Entire Point of the Infinity Gauntlet?
LucenProject
Yeah the reality stone basically says F-you to physics
LucenProject thats correct. The power of the reality gem, time, and space allows the user to change the very fabric of reality to what ever they imagine.
Eric Dixon
thanos doesnt have time stone at that moment
Were talking about the movie right?
You must be fun at parties
shrek dies in infinity war
Bat Man also Mickey and Freddy Fazbear
Chuck Norris died
Squidward dies in infinity war too :(
Bat Man You died too. You are now commenting inside the Soul Stone.
If Shrek dies they will play All Star slowly in a minor key.
spppoooooiiiilllerrrrssss
he didn't throw the moon he just threw shards of the moon becoming meteors
Spoilers
It's clear
Wish he did.That would look amazing.
Watch it again. Some are meteors; but the one that hits iron man is the moon.
THICK DICK MUSCLE REACTION it's not that moon would have destroyed the surface of that planet
Bro. This is Marvel. Where flying to another planet in an iron suit lets you breathe in outer space. When has logic ever made sense.
2:52 lol "Thanos and the Infinity Gauntlet" sounds like a rock band or something
He doesn't throw a moon specifically he uses the power stone to turn it into meteorites and brings that raining down onto the surface of titan to make a full force meteor shower
DR METROPURSUIT And, it was absolutely awesome.
Brad Smith it was both awesome and horrifying :)
Well he also used the space stone to teleport the meteorites.
Repins Watson not really it was purple fire that means only the power stone was at work if he teleported it then the moon would be solid not in junks
DR METROPURSUIT And Ironman got hit by a really large chunk, lol
Can you explain the science behind Ben 10's Omnitrix?
A sad, strange little man yes
A sad, strange little man yes
Yes yes yes
Aliens.
*So basically Thanos is using the same idea as the Skull Kid from Majora's Mask*
ALEJOwhatever This mad man..
yee 😎
He didn't take three days tho lol
Super Secret But what if he did? But used the time stone to speed it up at a rate? 🤔 Thanos = Skullkid confirmed?
Shadows_Assassin. Thanos is also using his left hand to do the movement of the telekinesis so Thanos=Sans=Ness.
You know, “for not having seen the movie”, you make an awful lot of accurate references to the film. Like so many finger snaps?
TheTransforcer the finger snaps are referenced in the trailer. It’s obvious he hasn’t seen the movie when this video came out weeks before release.
MrMarioman569 was it?! That’s surprising considering THATS the movie in a nutshell; a hell of a spoiler!
TheTransforcer the finger snap happened in the comics its based on too, like 20 years ago
10:23 Snaps his fingers and says it would turn to dust. Need I say more?
@@TheTransforcer the snap is the entire point of the gauntlet in the source material
7:00 - Anyone watching this full screen on a display larger than about 35" diagonal - that line showing how close the moon would have to be is actually *BIGGER* on your screen than it would be in real life.
Just saw the movie and it was awesome.
Nice timing.
no spoilers needed = everything said is legit. Too legit to quit!
same
Friendly reminder: when talking acceleration(3:00), you want a lower case g.
g: Acceleration due to Earth's gravity = 9.8 m/s/s
G: Gravitational Constant = 6.67408 × 10^-11 m^3/kg/s/s
Edit: Thanks to DocterOreo for pointing out I originally had 10^11 instead of 10^-11
A physics grammar Nazi.
Now I've seen it all..
That's not grammar, it's proper syntax. There's a big difference
They’re on titan, not earth
Kale Chip Krunch you got it. also starlord told us the gravity and orbit rotation of titan status.
waku waku yeah
Not a spoiler, but contains information from the movie:
When he throws the moon, the moon does not fall as a moon. It falls as a bunch of pieces. So it checks out! Marvel does science things!
SCIENCE, YOU FOOLS!! >:D
Cody Hines Science doesnt apply with the infinity gaunlet
Science doesn’t apply with movie -_-
A random guy EL-9 Yeah, but if Thanos threw a whole moon - the planet would still explode. Thanos knew that too, so that’s why he threw it in small chunks
*reads title*
"he has a infinity gauntlet"
question answered
Thronos? Thro no you didn't!
Peter Connell noooo
You look like THOR 😄
ruclips.net/video/tffOym9Secs/видео.html
Altrai Govender And then Thor change his looks.
It looks like "his muscles feels like Chitauri metal fibers". Srsly tho, he's pretty buff.
Not anymore
Altrai Govender no,he's the Jesus of Science.
0:03 "Quill are you making your voice deep?" -Rocket
If Thanos did do this idea, he would have to use the Infinity Gauntlet to vary the Moon's magnetic field up to a certain point capable of throwing it. This would increase the temperature of impact and increase the pressure of the throwing force
Or he could just expand the fabric of spacetime behind the moon and contract it in front of the moon to move it without acting on it directly to avoid all those uneven forces. The alcubierre drive works like that. Edited to correct that name.
that wouldn't apply momentum tho, it would just get the moon near the planet.
Yeah, but once it's a mile up, just let go. Something that big doesn't need a lot of momentum to cause a problem.
That's the alcubierre drive
That's the alcubierre drive not the EM drive.
king_ Tesseract you are correct, sir.
DID YA JUST THROW A FOOKIN MOON AT ME?!

He has the reality stone...so he can break all laws of physics.😜
Allen Paul T. SPOILER
DunkingBob VP he used the power stone to pull the moon and the space stone to get the meteors in Titans atmosphere quickly. That 783,000Gs estimation is forgetting the capabilities of the space stone.
Clorox Bleach it was going to happen
DunkingBob VP when Thanos used reality stone to change Quill's blasts to bubbles, red colour (of reality stone)didn't appear. So it could have happened here too.
You forgot to write "spoilers" and put lots of spaces
@BecauseScience When you were explaining that General Organa was pulling on the ship not pushing herself, it was a little hard for me to see in my head, but the more you mention the Physics of throwing the moon...I think i got it. 👍
Infinity war was epic
Thank you for adding the line about the gauntlet ignoring fundamental physics (8:20). After watching the movie I had a chuckle at what would have happened if it hadn't. Just a tiny little Thanos rocketing off into space, or even better, him reaching for the moon and his arm ripping right off and flying away!
Only a trailer to go on, and you completely fricken nail it! Well scienced sir!
Oh hell yeah. " *No Spoilers* "
BM Kratos kills Thanos and joins the Avengers.
Oh Hell Yeah. I love Batman.
I mean, there aren't any. This was filmed before the movie came out anywhere -- KH
just very good guesses. He rly did crack the moon open and it rly was a moon.
not entirely, i didnt watch anything on the movie and now i know hes throwing a moon.... havent seen it yet....it was in my subscription box so the title... kind of gives it a way
If you are guessing that Thanos is pulling a much closer, much smaller 'moon' down to the ground... it still won't work.
The Earth's Moon has a mass of 7.34e22kg and a surface area of 3.79e7 km^2.
A thousand times smaller object would be only 3.4km wide, mass 7.34e13kg and have a surface area of 36km^2.
The mass to surface area ratio of either object determines how much the pressure you need to apply to the surface. It varies linearly with size - the thousand times smaller object would require a thousand times less pressure to accelerate at the same rate.
Is it enough?
Not really. The pressure needed to accelerate the Earth's Moon to get to the ground in 10 seconds is 742 MILLION times greater than the maximum strength of the Moon's materials. If you reduce this by a factor 1000, you're still apply a million times too much pressure!
Matter Beam he only uses the power stone to rip the surface off and then the space stone to teleport the moon shards to a couple hundred meters above his target
Haven't watched the movie - I could only make assumptions about the possible size(s) of the 'moon' being pulled in.
Need alert!
What if the moon is made out of far more dense materials with far better bonds. Also, if he can control time and space, he could just negate all normal forces on it in the first place. Nothing he does would be confined by physics at all.
If the 'moon' was actually an asteroid made completely out of iron, it would only survive a pressure about 100MPa, or about 5x higher than we've assumed with the silicate rocks so far. It's not a great improvement!
The problem with not being bound by physics is that we'd have nothing to talk about.
"THAT'S A LOTTA DAM-AGE" -Phil Swift
Avengers (2012)
*Tony Stank:* We have a hulk
Infinity War
*Thanos:* I have a moon
Kyle has a fake Gauntlet - it is left-handed
Technically it can shapeshift onto any hand it's being wielded by. But yeah
Also the mind and soul stones colors are swapped. Then again both have been shown as different colors in the MCU i.e the mind stone while in lokis staff.
Well... Thanos wears it on the left hand in the movie. So...
It's whatever hand dominance the wearer has. Thanos is just left handed.
William White its not. It is a glove for his left hand, nothing more to add. (Btw my statement is true, i saw the movie yesterday)
You're correct but didn't add in the sudden stopping changing the orbit of the moon. If memory serves the moon orbits the Earth around 2,300 mph. Suddenly stopping it or changing its speed would destroy it. What would be left would be pulled down to impact on the surface, giving the Avengers a REALLY bad second. Enough time to say, "Oh Sh..."
Except this isn't Earth's moon its one of titans moons as he mentioned. Unless titans moon is also going at the same speed then what you said does not relate to the movie.
GetRoasted1, Any body close enough to a larger body is going to be orbiting it or falling on it. In order for it to be in orbit, it must be going fast enough to essentially fall into a singular orbit, if it isn't it will crash into the larger body or fly off into space. This holds true for every planetary body, not just Earth.
You're right but then again this is a fictional universe. Anyway I don't think he actually throws the moon anyway I believe he rips it apart with the power stone then uses the space stone to teleport it closer to the planet or moon they are on. Titan is also a moon that orbits Saturn so Thanos is probably ripping apart one of Saturn's other moons so you're right it could possibly be orbiting Saturn much faster than 2300 mph I believe Titan orbits Saturn at over 12,000 mph.
This show keeps getting better and better :)
From the south of the world I thank you Kyle!
spoilers!!!!
He had 4 of the stones before the scene were they showed him "trowing" the moon (he did not actually trow the moon, but broke rocks off of it's surface then threw them). He had the reality stone at that time, so he could have even turn the moon into cheese. Thanos did not have the time stone yet at the moon scene sooo.
Spoiler
Nah. He just broke the surface of the moon and teleported them to Titan's atmosphere with the space stone
Spoiler
Thanos smiles
Or bubbles!
@7:03 0.2m is a bit larger than half a foot (~0.656 foot), but I forgive you because of inferior imperial units :)
Hey Kyle, i wanted to ask a question about Railguns. I heard that in Warhammer 40k a Railgun was shot at a heavy battle tank, leaving a small entry and exit hole, but due to the speed of the shot created a vacuum that sucked the crew out of the exit hole. Can this happen? Also, if the projectile is shot at near light speeds or even half that speed, when it doesn't impact anything, would it continue to travel in a straight line and due to the curvature of the earth eventually escape earth's atmosphere and continue to travel through space?
I'm pretty sure it won't create a vacuum powerful enough to do that. Also, the thing would need to be shot at near light speed or lightspeed to actually make a major vacuum. Also, if that was fired, the shell would (Depending on distance from tank and how well the shell pushes atoms out of the way)become a ball of plasma that would hit the tank. The result would be a lot more dramatic than a "small entrance and exit hole.
as for the curvature of the earth, it depends where you're firing it from. the curvature isn't really noticeable over maybe couple mile long distances, like on a battlefield.
It might travel out of the atmosphere if it doesn't become a ball of plasma and set off multiple tiny nuclear level reactions at once.
Well, i know for a fact that the Wikia of 40k is wrong, it shows 6-10x the speed of sounds (which is slower than our current prototype btw :p ) But in the books of the Tau race it gets shot at 0.2c (2% speed of light = 2% of Mach 881.000) That is still a few thousand times faster than the Wikia said. And yes in terms of the Tau it does heat up into a ball of plasma, because they all look like blue streaks of light. ;)
You need to look at this again now that we have complete scene available.
Might be worth to have a video update about this and also the black hole he threw.
LMFAO!!! 8:13 - 8:16 I'm dying.... That was too funny!! Just like..... Wait for it......SURPRISE LIGHT SABER!!! Or the Alternate version of.... I know this is going to be hard for you guys to understand but.... SURPRISE LIGHT SABER!!! I love it Kyle HIll, you're one funny, interesting, & smart human being.
Very kind of you to say, thank you Omar -- KH
Hi Kule! Loved the video! Love to get more of the Infinity War hype meshed with the Because Sciencyness of Because Science!
One thing I’ve love to add to our fabulous discussion: given an object moving at relativistic speeds would gain relativistic mass, couldn’t Thanos use this by using unknown means vibrating at lightspeed to gain relativistic mass, thereby generating a pseudo gravitational field? If this were to occur, it could be very possible that by generating a pseudo gravitational field, he could hurl an entire planet much like someone swinging a sword in Monster Hunter.
As discussed recently in an episode of you’res, the main problem with Monster Hunter is if a person is trying to weild a sword bigger than them, even if they’re somehow strong enough to do so, they would instead twirl themselves over the thing because according to Newton’s Third Law of Motion, the reaction on the smaller mass would appear bigger than the initial larger mass. Sort of like what happens when a gun fires. By doing what I’m describing here, Thanos could conquer this problem by theoretically gaining enough mass to rival that of the moon he is throwing, thereby becoming the gun that shoots the moon-sized bullet.
The main problem with this is that by vibrating at these speeds, Thanos would also generate craploads (yes, that’s a sci-fientific term) of kinetic energy. I was unable to find the mass of Thanos himself, so seeing the beefy dude that he is, I assumed the variable of the world record for the heaviest person, set in 2006 at 1235 pounds or roughly 560 kilograms. If Thanos weighed this and moved at 99.99% the speed of light, he would be generating approximately 3.515x10^20 Joules, or nearly the energy consumed by the entire world in 2010. Even his stupidly massive pinkie finger gripping it wrong as he throws the moon could instantly vaporize it entirely! (that’s a small stretch; my actual calculations revealed he could vaporize about a hundred quintillion human beings, which I’m pretty sure is far worse). The upside to this is it could be how he could destroy half the universe with a snap of his fingers; especially if the Infinity Gauntlet and the Stones are linked to his ability to vibrate at relativistic speeds in the first place.
Interesting? Check. Long? Double-check. Typos for Kyle Hill to make fun of? Check. Posted in the magic time zone where he actually reads this? Check.
OK, that should be everything then ;)
Footnotes? Here you come!
Wouldn’t be surprised if accredited ‘super nerd *yeow!*’
Kyle says he loves those that take the discussion one step further. 🤷♀️👍👏
Impressive argument good sir
Who is Kule?
Thanks :D
Thats one of my intentional typos for Kyle to make fun of. Got kind of sloppy there... Should have done something a little more subtle like 'I does love video' or something
Exactly one year later of uploading this. Endgame came out. You mad genius
Which program did you use to create those effect, its amazing. You have to tell me :))
Nice episode Kyle.
The Green Monster from Yo Gabba Gabba dies in infinity war.
The movie was released on the 25th of April in Australia. This movie was released in Australia ahead of the USA for the first time in forever. Went to see it, it was great.
I love this channel! Super cool
Can you talk about how slip space works from halo is it like a worm hole
I, too, would love to see some more Halo related content. ^_^
I'd say slip space allows ships to travel out of our three dimensional geometry to a universe that has different properties and back, letting them show up at a great distance from where they entered slip space in a relatively short amount of time.
Justin Thompson, that's pretty much how the novels explain Slipspace. Slipspace is just an 11 dimensional shortcut.
That would be cool I've also been wanting a video on how much force the different Macs have or how much energy the halos need to work
Bryant Russell Well, assuming the values on the wiki are correct, the Orbital Defense Station's MAC fires a 3,000 ton projectile at 12,000km/s, so it would have around 1.96x10^20, or 196 quintillion, Newtons at the muzzle. So... A lot. The smaller ship-based MACs apparently fire a 600 ton projectile at 30,000m/s, so that's 4.9x10^14 , or 490 trillion, Newtons.
He could have just teleported the moon on the avengers.
thaTS A LOTTA DAMMAGE
dude you are so good please make an episode after youve seen it!
While he has 4 infinity gems which control space, power, souls, and reality itself......let’s science the shit out of it!!!!
If Thanos stops the moon to move it towards the Earth, wouldn't it directly rip apart from the instant deceleration? Or is Thanos just modifying the orbital path to make it direct itself to do the impact (he has the Space Stone so maybe he can pull the trick), then is Thanos doing the math in his head to match the orbits? So he would profit the moon's speed to make it boom Earth, maybe not so much force from the gaunlet is needed.
If you look at the scene closely he doesn’t rlly throw the moon. He simply uses the power stone to break the rocks on the surface on the moon and continues to use the space stone to teleport those small debris to the actual planet itself...still cool tho
This was awesome!
I just wanna know how neither Cassini NOR Huygens spotted the civilization on Titan.
You mentioned that he has time control power, as well. What if he were to pull the moon very, very slowly, but still quickly relative to the Avengers (or camera, or observer)? What amount of time would a moon-like object need to spend falling in order to impact mostly intact, assuming an either constant acceleration or constant speed? Is this even possible?
Nice thought experiment but he didn't have the time stone when he threw the parts of the moon at them
True. Hadn't seen the movie at the time of comment.
I love your animator mate. Cheers
You just did a better Job in explaining why tides are influenced by the moon, in like 30 seconds, in a video that was not even about tides, than my teacher in lessons that focused on it. Probs to you, I never understood the exact forces behind that until now.
Saw the movie yesterday, and it's
Max *dun dun dun*
Monty python's flying circus.
3:18 "A billion times harder than the Sun pulling on the Earth..." Hold on, doesn't that mean that when Thanos tries to pull down a celestial body with so much 'force', won't he pulling other planets in the system too? Worst case scenario, he can destroy the entire system altogether O_o
Edit: It would be hilarious if Hawkeye landed the finishing blow on Thanos. Imagine the mass hysteria that it'd cause :P
i dont think so, because he is only "grabbing" on the moon. its like digging your fingers into sand. you end up wit a fist full of sand, not the whole sandbox
Depends how precisely he can control the force he's manipulating.
No, because he's not projecting a gravity well, he's applying force locally. If it WAS a full gravity well, with that much force... it'd actually be much more effective at wiping out the Venvengers instantly.
Along with the entire solar system.
And the black hole wouldn't even be the cause of the initial destruction.
Why would he pulling other planets in the system? Your logic make no sense, if I pull a car, why would other cars move?
Rhythm Rogue so, it's like Thor and his hammer, but on a completely different level?? xD
I think he breaks up part of the moon and then uses the space stone to teleport the pieces to the surface.
"You hit me with another moon and I'm gonna be really pissed"
Your eyes are so shiny this vid
Serious question about your videos... How do you find the time to write, film and upload/release a new episode every like 2 days AND make it relevant? Big fan here.
Serious answer: This isn't a hobby -- I get paid a salary to make everything on this channel. It's my day job. -- KH
Because Science Wow, your job is amazing and you are great at it... keep it up Kyle and thanks for answering!
Did anyone else notice he said, 'the moon would turn itself... to dust' right around the time he snapped his fingers?
this is completely off topic and all but i just wanna say that the Dr.Strange movements that you did at the beginning were super on point
But wodnt if he has the space stone it would be easy for Thanos to just teleport it close to the planet then the moon will automatically fall on the surface due to the plants gravity . Wouldn't it
KH, did you apply Newton's Third Law and Torque into the earlier calculations that you made into calculating how much force Thanos need to pull the moon to the battlefield?
Karl Singh he mentions the 3rd law and how Thanos ignores it. Otherwise as he said, he'd be in space and fucked too
I did not. The Space Stone apparently gets around these problems. It's OP -- KH
Not to mention my comment about the Reality Stone.
The Space Stone/Tesseract could probably have teleported the moon to the surface, though that wouldn't have been quite as cool (and also Thanos still seems vulnerable, unlike comics counterpart with the gauntlet). But Thanos seems to use it mostly for telekinetic feats when not teleporting around, probably using the power stone to amp the other powers and reality stone to ignore silly things like physics. No idea what the Soul stone can do in MCU, since that's what we've seen the least of.
0:51 There is a green tint showing that he has the time stone. Therefore the moon could be moving for thousands of years to it's perspective so that calculation of it shattering from the pull can be removed so instead you should focus on drag.
Can we get a follow up analyzing what actually happens in the scene
Hi Kyle
If the moon would come to be that close to earth (not even that close) wouldn't we all drown first? Because of sea level rising due to the pull of the moon? (Assuming that would happen on earth)
Great episode
Deckard Games I think this would all be happening so fast that drowning would be a blessing. The earth and everything on it would be gone before the oceans budged with the scale of this scenario
That would be if it impacted earth. But if it were to be destroyed piece by piece without impact, wouldn't it still have time to pull the water levels up? That would drop again, creating endless tsunamis and things?
That's not actually how tides work, and NO the moon's mass (and thus gravity) is NOWHERE near enough to counter the earth's mass (and thus gravity) in a tug of war. Even if your idea of how the tides work were correct, it would be like saying "I'm gonna pull that 30 ton truck up the side of mount Everest, with nothing but my bare hands"
ruclips.net/video/pwChk4S99i4/видео.html
Sorry Robert, but I didn't understand what you are trying to say. Can you explain?
Watch the linked video to cure your ignorance on the tides - then go to a highschool physics class and learn some facts about what causes gravity and how it works.
(Here's the link again since you couldn't find it the 1st time) ruclips.net/video/pwChk4S99i4/видео.html
Thinking the moon can pull the water up away from the earth via gravity is like thinking your 1/4 lb cheesburger will be able to balance you on a playground teeter - totter (and it won't work for the same reason, you *the earth* is just too damned big & heavy, while the cheeseburger *the moon* is just too damn small by comparison)
So this is getting into similar ideas as using the Force to lift massive objects that you've touched on before, but depending on how Thanos exerts his force on objects, wouldn't he either get pulled away by Newton's 3rd Law or, if he used a similar force to somehow anchor himself to the planet, wouldn't he potentially exert enough force to knock it out of its orbit? Also, what would the impact force be if you pulled the moon to a planet in ten seconds? Aren't we talking well beyond extinction level event?
Even without pulling, if Thanos just stopped the moon from orbiting and let it fall to Earth by gravity alone, that is still a scenario in which everyone on Earth dies, no questions asked. That's just the gravitational potential energy of the moon, which scales less-than-linearly with altitude due to decreasing gravitational force according to the inverse square scaling of gravity.
Dragging the moon in like that is mind-bogglingly huge levels of overkill against anyone in the MCU not named Thanos. I can't think of anyone who can survive conditions that will probably look like the inside of the sun for a brief moment as things will probably get fusion-y at those speeds. Not to mention the part where the entire Earth breaks apart into a debris field, I hope you've got a spaceship parked far away and some way to get to it.
If the stated acceleration was applied for 10 seconds the moon would hit at ca 70,000 km/second which is an appreciable fraction of lightspeed and more than a thousand times faster than the fastest asteroid, giving it a kinetic energy per kilo a million times greater than said asteroid, and the moon's mass is bigger than an asteroid by many orders of magnitude. Even without doing the figures I feel confident in saying that that'd be enough to turn both the moon and the planet into plasma possibly hot enough to create some more energy from fusion reactions in said plasma, possibly even briefly outshining the sun. The resultant earth/moon plasma cloud would be yanked out of Earths orbit at thousands of kilometres per second, creating a gravitational wave and quite possibly perturbing the orbits of other solar system objects, but probably not enough to to cause any major changes. The plasma cloud would quickly turn into an expanding cloud of gas and dust leaving the solar system in a day and dissipating in interstellar space .
In this case its which stone he used, it was the reality stone not the power stones. Each stone plays a part maybe, and if so the power stone was keeping him grounded, Thanos was negating certain laws you could apply from physics because of the stones individual areas of use.
The reality stone allows him to rewrite or even totally disregard the laws of physics as he sees fit. This is why the Infinity Gauntlet is so OP.
the end of this was hilarious, "a lot of dam dam" hahahaha
You Are exactly right .. perfectly how they showed in movie.. !! it breaks up & falls in pieces..
In the real movie, he doesn't actually throw the moon, he breaks up the surface and launches those small peices down
As the moon comes closer to earth, the gravity would start to feel weird, and it would probably mess up some of the heroes' superpowers, right? Like spiderman would be less coordinated and Iron Man would need to adapt to it.
Would be fun to see Spider Man in a 0 gravity environement if you ask me :P
Grimner iron Man would have no problems as his ai recalculates on the fly
LarryM im not into DC and marvel, but do we know if his AI is used to work with a different gravity ? And it would have to constantly adapt since the gravity would be decreasing non stop
Grimner it's a super powerful legit ai that already handles all of his flight stabilization
Grimner he's also modded his suit for spaceflight before
He threw it on titan
That scene was probably my favorite
when did avengers infinity war come out in america because in australia where i live it came out on anzac day april 25th
You said 0.2 meters was less than half a foot, but half a foot is 0.1524 meters, so um... yeah... you're wrong. :D
I rounded -- KH
He shattered the moon before throwing it...
So?
redstone craft guy So the planet wouldn’t be blown up. He also teleported it with the space stone so not as much force/time would be wasted.

Amazing how on point where your prediction about this scene without seeing it 👍🏻
It is really amazing that this video comes out before Avengers but he knows where was the fight taking place.

How?
Because Science!
time stone
some of the views are from the past, some of the likes are from the Future, you should see the totals in 2 years. Astronomical.
Exactly. -- KH
Nah I call Bs
Well there is no tax on comments. So be it.
I know you didn’t see the movie previous to making this video... BUT I’d say the size of the “moon” was more Football Stadium sized (ish) and, OR. seemed to be only a chunk of that moon that was thrown, couldn’t quite tell due to all the awesomeness of the movie.
Dude, you have like the best channel ever
He has the reality stone that why he can alter the laws of physics
E p i c M e m e s true. But plot
He teleported the moon so the atmosphere doesn't erode it. He knows the science.
Thanos is too OP. I believe his own genetics play a role in this idea along with the Infinity Gauntlet. Now I think about it, why are Adam Warlock and Thanos can handle the power of the Infinity Stones and not us mortals?
Thanos is part celestial and is a deviant mutant, and Adam Warlock had the soul stone bonded too him so they both have special circumstances
The movie Thanos pales in comparison to the comic Thanos. He fought abstracts like eternity, the avengers were like ants to him
Ace Fulbright he even became Death during a comic series run
Have you actually read the comics? He's from Titan by birth, a race of beings that once lived on earth called the Eternals. They have superior physical and mental capacities, and Thanos was born to Eternal parents. Sadly, he had DNA from the underling cast that once lived on earth called the Deviants. Eternals had powers, Deviants did not. Human were the middle caste, and had no powers naturally, though we could 'intermingle' our DNA with either Eternals or Deviants. Thanos is right on par for the course, and not OP. The Gems take him to near godhood, but he's spent centuries gaining power outside of the gems proper.
davidsirmons I read the Thanos Rising comic. Been a while since I reread it. Was a good origin story
Its been on my mind for a bit but I would like to see the science behind the High frequency blade of metal gear.
Do a video on the science behind finger snap
When he capitalizes the "A" in the monster hunter episode, but its lowercase in this video.
Respect us people with OCD.
Hagen Von respect
Hagen Von nice profile pic
is titan not a moon? of one of the four gas giants? well, it has an atmosphere, so confusion happens easily...
IM A NERD!
Fireblade Entertainment different Titan
Fireblade Entertainment that's what I said too
MrIndigo 39 I think in the Comics they used Solar System Titan.
He is the mitological Titan, on the myth titan is a "god creator", or "god father/mother", en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titan_(mythology) , the sixth moon of Saturn, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titan_(moon) , is a reference due to his big size
different titan
titan is the planet that thanos and his people inhabit
well until thanos killed the rest of his species
After watching your video, I am even more appreciated on how much attention the film pays to actual physics :D
10:20 I like how after he snapped he said "turn itself to dust"
Alot of dam dam 🤣.
Quality content 😋. The sence thr film in EVEN BETTTTER 🤩.
Thanos is very irresponsible. He wants to destroy planets for a girl. My parents taught me, if a girl doesn't like me for who I am ( even a purple son of a #$_&(female dog) the she's not worthy of my black hammer.
Zeus Modi Well, to be true, Thanos is wooing Death. It's not like he's gonna fine another fish in the cosmic sea that can compare to the one he is pursuing.
Don't fought the Titan for aiming high.
+Brad Smith Actually Thanos got the girl... Or at least a better version. He got Hela
Something I noticed on second viewing was that he uses the power stone to shatter the moon and then the space stone to pull the pieces to the surface faster than just letting them fall from orbit.
I liked the way they ended up doing that scene in the movie.
