*The Hoba Meteorite is 60,000kg (60 tons)* not 60,000,000kg as I said and wrote in the video. Off by a few orders of magnitude, but the cool thing is that this 60 ton value is much closer to the size of the vibranium meteorite in the comics. Sorry about that! The perils of live... -- KH
Wouldn't the Wakanda meteor actually store all the energy from the heat of entering the atmosphere and impacting the ground? Then wouldn't that energy have to be released before they could mine and refine it?
vibranium can be destroyed or at least manipulated because they did that on the transportation trains in Black Panther. Reference the last fight. Apply that to say a wall of vibranium and you can make, cut, mold it into anything.
Thanks for watching! Having a lot of fun with the new formats; I really do feel like we are creating a little community here. Let me know what you think. NEW VLOG Tuesday at 8am PST. -- KH
Because Science may i ask you something? If Thanos is the son of a celestial and Peter Quill is the son of a celestial does that mean Peter is dating his neice Gemora?
So if they needed the sonic dampeners to stabilize vibranium in its pure form when it moves at the mag lev train speeds… How unstable would it have been at atmospheric entry/terminal velocity speeds of a falling meteor?
Daryle Walker - lol. If taking some animals' geolocation sense, tidal senses and the idea of sun position synchronization into account, they can have an internal sense of when halfway-between-high-noon occurs everyday in the different places they can be. Basically at some point in their lives they (or their ancestors if going with a genetic-memory-like mechanism) they synchronized a knowledge of mid day and mid night. Then biologically some mutation function triggers if fed after that midnight sensation hits their genes.
Definitely want a gremlins episode! If you can't get them wet, can they drink water? If not, how do they survive? Just from the water in their food? Does it have to be water? What if you got them wet with buffalo sauce? For that matter, do they taste like chicken? So many questions...
Vibrainium is 2.61 grams cm3 as it’s 1/3rd the weight of steel 7.85g/cm3 as stated by Howard stark to Steve Rogers in captain America the first avenger, when he’s asking about the shield.
lasarith2 - it's often mistaken as simply a metal too, but they started referring to it more as a mineral to move away from that. Graphene comparisons are quite spot on. Instead of strict hardness it's toughness and absorbative properties likely come from a molecule level spring structure with transfer channel configurations that spread force around the total mass.
So… streamed live an hour ago… RUclips tells me about it a minute ago. But it will tell me about live streams as they start for channels I’ve never subscribed too!
I love these live shows I always try to answer to the question to the best of my ability before listening to kyle explain it to see if we come to the same conclusion. Ah I'm so happy that we get more because science now then ever.
As for the Frequency sword thing, you can see a video on a channel called Skallagrim. Basically it wouldn't work 'cause your body would absorb the vibrations, but he explains it fully
Thanks for taking on my question about mining vibranium. That was interesting. I really love the live shows, makes things more spontaneous and unpredictable, and therefore more fun!
Just for your information: The heaviest raptorial bird is Vultur gryphus, the Andean condor. These can weigh up to 15 kilogramms and they have a wingspan of about 3 meters. The heaviest birds that are able to fly are Ardeotis kori, the kori bustard, which can weigh up to 19 kilogramms. The bird with the largest wings is Diomedea exulans, the white-winged albatross, which has a wingspan of 3,5 meters. By the way, the wingspan of a Quetzalcoatlus is estimated to be up to 13 meters.
Characters like Black Lightning manipulating charge on finer levels aren't always depicted as vaporizing the bullets, sometimes they're acting like a deflector field (exciting the repulsive negative charge of the incoming projectiles' surface to repel off a field of negatively charged particles around them; slowing or reflecting the bullets themselves in the process).
Aww, I'd love to see a gremlins/mogui(spelling?) Episode. The biorythem explanation was always my understanding of the 'dont feed them after midnight' rule, as it's always after midnight! Love to see your take on the instantainous reproduction due to water reasons as well. In theory if there was such a creature that multiplied from becoming damp, on a planet that's mostly water, would surely quickly become the dominate species in number. But then all die out when the sun rose :( . Lastly, could there be an evolutionary explanation as to why they start off so cute and adorable? Absolutely love the new channel! Been waiting and hoping Because Science would grow and develop into it's own thing :) .
There was hardly any lightning in the Arctic because the air was too dry to form storm clouds, but since it's warming up, the air is filled with more moisture, and therefore, storms that produce lightning. In Canada, where we have a cold, dry winter season, lightning is rare in the winter.
Yes, please, I totally want to see an episode dedicated to the Mogwai of Gremlins. You just gave the first rational explanation I've ever heard regarding the "after midnight" feeding restriction and I love it! I used to say that, by the same logic, you could put a Mogwai on a jet and circumnavigate the earth staying in sunlight and fatten that little bugger up until he explodes. Maybe you could! But then there is the getting them wet restriction. How hydro-reactive are they? If I sneezed on one, would he multiply? (ew, that's gross). What if it was a really REALLY humid day? Of course, note that the first film takes place in the winter time, so the humidity would be very low, but then they do tread through the snow so...?
Sci-Show recently made a video about thunderstorms in snowy weather. It's much more rare because for lightning to happen there needs to be big temperature difference which doesn't occur as often in winter, but very rarely it does. So based on that.. extremely unlikely that lightning would strike Arctic but I guess possible?
In the book "Physics of Super Heroes" there's a good explanation for how the flash vibrates his atoms through things. The way the flash does this is by vibrating his atoms so fast that they hit the wall enough times that due to probabilities in quantum mechanics his atoms end up tunneling through the wall! THE FLASH IS QUANTUM TUNNELING, BRO!!
@Sci_Phile First off I have dinoflagellates as well and they are absolutely beautiful, also their circadian rhythm is what affects their bioluminescence. About 10-14 hours of light and dark per day is optimal for their specific circadian rhythm. Second, idea for a future episode, Gambit and the kinetic energy he "creates" to imbue other objects with and how that could effect items of various substances. Since kinetic energy is so popular right now due to vibranium.
Could we give a boom/mic to the person reading off the questions? And/or could Kyle restate the question? It can get a little difficult to correctly hear the questions.
Hey Kyle, this could just be me but I have kind of a hard time finding a point of reference for hundreds of thousands of Kilograms- tons are a little easier because, for example, I know that a car weighs 2 tons. When you give measurements like that, could you possibly also provide a reference point for what that means? It would help a lot. Love the new additions to Because Science, you’re the best!
Anyone remember Sebastian Shaw? He was the villain for X-Men First Class. His power is to absorb any sort of energy directed at him, he can then store it and send it back at his ooponent. In his fandom page it even states: *"This made him extremely difficult to defeat in battle, as all the kinetic force from an enemy's strike or projectile assaults is another form of energy that would ultimately be nullified while simultaneously strengthening him."* (xmenmovies.wikia.com/wiki/Sebastian_Shaw) That got me thinking... What if Sebastian Shaw and Black Panther got into a fist fight?
Mogwai episode, yes please. Maybe even cover water as reproductive trigger? And I think the thought behind a vibrating blade is that the vibration create room for the blade to continue moving, instead of being pinched by the material it's cutting into (like you may have experienced using an old hand saw)
Ultrasonic blades are a thing! Ultrasonic knives are used to cut everything from sticky rubbers to cakes to food on assembly line without tearing out any sections, and they're just a normal knife attached to an ultrasonic transducer and horn
Yes please, mogwai eating habits episode. Also, could you touch on the whole hybrid gremlin thing (bat, spider, well mannered aristocrat etc) and what the possibilities/nightmares could be - sorry, hybrids and gene mixing have always interested me... like a symbiotic Groot or a xenomorphic-tiger offspring for example.
11:20 You may not answer it, but I will. If we are to believe the events of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" (and please, PLEASE don't hate on me for bringing it up!), then James/Logan was a child in Canada in the late 19th/early 20th century. Since it's very unlikely that he's Jewish (and I don't mind being corrected btw), he wouldn't have been circumcized shortly after birth as a matter of course, since that was only put into general/mandatory practice in the United States in response to the rise of STD's in soldiers coming back from war. You also *sort of* answered that by stating that the X-Factor tends to kick in at times of stress and/or during puberty; recall that in XMOW he was coughing his lungs out in bed prior to the shocking murder of his adoptive father by his birth father. So any injuries prior to that would probably not have been repaired. tl;dr Yes, Logan has a belly button, and *if* he'd been circumcized he'd stay that way.
An episode on Biorhythms would be awesome. There's a lot of elements of literature and cinema that rely on it-- Mogwai, werewolves, and possibly even vampires as well as few other things that are obviously slipping my mind.
Why do Supers with super strength lift, pull, or stop large objects without pulling off two hand fulls of the object or punch through it due to it's weight being balanced on a relatively small spot?
Tactile Telekinesis. Realistically, if you had super strength it would be curse. You'd destroy everything. Even if all you did was lift it, you'd break it upon picking it up because of the amount of force you exert. That assumes you're as strong as say Superman though. If you were only as strong as Cap or say Wolverine. You'd be alright.
Nevermind the objects being lifted, or stopped, if you had super strength, and I'm assuming you mean like Superman or Thor levels, and ONLY super strength, the thing most likely to break is you... Because the human body has limits..... You could be physically strong enough to throw mountains, but that doesn't mean your bones and skin and heart and support that kind of stress.... Which is why, usually super strength is paired with some level of superhuman toughness.... But to answer your question, assuming that hero a with super strength is also tough enough to withstand his own strength, then it would be impossible to lift outrageously large things without them suffering critical failure and breaking... And if you were to catch something heavy falling from somewhere high, because momentum is conserved, and I'm assuming you're not wearing a vibranium cat suit, you don't absorb the kinetic energy, it would still do a shit tonne of damage.... Hope that helps.... Peace
This is the bit that was so conveniently ignored in both The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman... the bionic limbs were attached to human bodies!
Forgot to ask my question :C Hey Kyle, I'm a mechanical engineering student, I was tasked with doing calculations for my senior design project about vertical impact force, and it got me thinking; if black panther's suit absorbs kinetic energy, but momentum is conserved, shouldn't he still die from a high fall (like the one in the fight with kill-monger) because of the deceleration of the impact still affects his internal organs? If his body experiences more than 20 G's he's probably going to have internal damage right?
Please make the Mogwai question an episode. In addition, If you took a Mogwai to an all-you-can eat buffet, but stopped feeding it just before midnight (or the "6 hours after dark" time), would they still turn? Meaning, is it the digestive process or the actual act of eating that turns a Mogwai into a Gremlin?
You had mentioned Spillover on a previous video, I just wanted to mention that there's a book called "New Guinea Tapeworms and Jewish Grandmothers" that I think you would also like. It has all to do with parasites and viruses and is a really good book.
There are ultrasonic blades, which technically use their vibration to cut through things. A high frequency sword would probably work in a similar fashion. The difference shouldn't be too dramatic, I think. It'd be like a sword that's doesn't dull with use....
They show black lightning using a "lightning force field" to block bullets. Idk if he meant using a bolt to stop it but using lightning in a way to stop it.
The Wakandan cloaking field can't just redirect light, it's too big. It covers an entire nation that's at least as big as the greater New York City area, and makes it look like a natural valley. You aren't seeing a valley _on the other side_ of Wakanda, you're seeing a valley _in place of_ Wakanda. The only way to do that would be to basically have some sort of projection screen that covers the city, _and_ projects a lifelike, illusion across its surface, _and_ that projection would need to be glass-less 3D like the Nintendo 3DS, otherwise you'd just see a dome with a painting on it, _and_ of course you need to be able to fly right through this field. It's basically nonsensium. But, you know, "Wakanda."
Tim Ogul - going by the other examples of hologram use in the movie, it has to be a holographic field supported by the energy dome. You are correct and I had the same thought that simply refracting light around the nation would not account for what anyone sees. At the very least, refraction would make a visual displacement that fails to give a believable image at a close distance, much less explaining trying to see the ground. As for how a glassless dome supports 3D holographics, they would have had to perfect air-molecule-light-emission. The semi-spherical dome field edges are the point at which the energy projected terminates from a central origin point; at that edge the air molecules receive their e.m. data and spreads to the visual spectrum creating an image. The imagery is configured in such a way that it has the holofoil effect of distance instead of a flat painting on a sphere. What makes it easier is to have the imagery conform mostly to shapes of foliage and hills that are slightly or much bigger than the buildings and other structures it is masking. Looking like both a no-landing space (to discourage wanting to go close enough to pass inside the field) and then from land it is bordered by the tribe that denies/discourages getting too close to the field edges.
Would of been nice for them to explain at least 1 percent of their fricken tech it's not like they don't in the comics and saying it's just vibranium doesn't fricken work because vibranium traits are well known despite being confusing it won't heal you or generate holograms, the fact is they just wanted to make a magic based movie instead of a sci-fi movie and it pretty much made the whole thing underwhelming
Offhand, I'd guess lightning CAN strike in the arctic but that it is rare. Both poles are essentially frozen deserts with minimal humidity. Since lightning is (almost) always the result of thunder storms and since deserts don't tend to get them, I very strongly suspect that it doesn't happen much at all.
in order to phase through objects you would have to nullify the weak nuclear force of every single atom in your body where you're mass would consist of isolated particles so that you could pass through nearly everything just like neutrinos, which are so small they pass through extremely dense materials with ease.
I actually saw a falling stall a day before this was posted and I watched as the tail began to get longer before it disappeared over the mountain horizon. It was fascinating and kinda beautiful.
Wow, that's hat was the best explanation on gremlin eating after midnight I've heard. I'm late to your channel. With that said, I would love for you to do a video on it. And if you already did I'll find it. Also love your channel.
Because Science, to be fair, I only caught that because I excitedly googled the Hoba meteorite to see what a 60 million ton meteorite would look like. Love your videos. Keep them coming! 😊
Tom Mckinlay I don’t know about that. the deactivate tech is sound-based and always gave off physical cues everytime it was being used. It was also shown to be entirely within the necklace, including the helmet, so unless it’s SUPER thin(thinner than it looks in the movie) that mass has to be somewhere else. A better idea than my original one, would be that Shuri/Wakana also cracked the Pym’ miniaturization tech. That would make a ton more sense than a pocket/mirror dimension. It was an idea that Pym had in the 1950s-60s, so Wakandan scientists or Spies discovering/acquiring the tech is very plausible.
Assuming Wolverine’s man bits were removed at birth (even though he’s Canadian and that wasn’t popularized yet, and it was the 1800’s) all the scars and stuff he had would have stayed. I’m pretty sure scar tissue isn’t damaged or in need of healing.
Maybe I misunderstood it’s description in the movie, but I don’t think vibranium naturally absorbs kinetic energy, but rather a specific kind of weave allowed by vibranium’s unique strength that allowed it to absorb kinetic energy (hence the talk of micro springs to absorb kinetic energy in earlier episodes). As a result of this, I believe it would have crashed into Earth as you’d expect any other meteorite would and would only absorb kinetic energy if processed in a certain way. As for mining it? I don’t know, how do you mine something than is stronger than anything you have on hand? Once you have some processed into a tool designed to mine it, I’m sure it would be simple to mine, but before that? Who knows.
As for a vibration sword, wouldn't it have the effect of making the weapons surface area effectively larger than it is? This would be counterproductive severely limiting the weapons usefulness basically making your sword in to a club. Also yes please do a gremlins metamorphosis vid.
"How do you mine Vibranium?" The meteor wouldn't be pure, solid vibranium, it seemed spread all over that cave, so assume most of the rock is just rock of some kind. You'd mine it like normal stuff, it'd just maybe be a bit quieter than usual. You'd end up with piles of sloppy, mixed ores, and then you'd "do something" to refine that into usable ingots. Could involve heat, could involve acid. Presumably vibranium has a massively high melting point, but iron-age cultures were able to process it, so it couldn't have been like Aluminum processing or something nuts.
I've always wondered about the Gremlins rule of don't feed them after midnight cuz it's always after midnight and it's always before midnight. And how are time zones accounted for, and what about daylight saving? Definite make a full episode on this subject.
as a followup on another viewers question on if vibranium could be used as a bullet, I'd like to ask what someone who may understand plasma better than myself how it could be used as a munition (I've heard a lot of people claiming that plasma will replace APFSDS munitions. I however doubt plasma can keep up with effective ranges and armor penetration of NATO depleted uranium 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 40mm, and 120mm munitions.
I believe the arctic actually has *alot* more lightning than the rest of the planet, not only is the weather at the poles *wayyyyy* worse than everywhere else, at least generally speaking, winds and ice particulates are basically a constant (and its these things in combination that causes lightning). Not to mention the whole northern lights thing. Not sure if the extra radiation or electromagnetic phenomenon would have an effect, but it's pretty likely i think.
I always thought frequency blades worked because the blade is contantly generating kenetic energy against the surface it is hitting, making cutting through the object "easier" as it adds to the kenetic energy you are applying. As to whether the blade would slice as quickly as in a lot of ficition would then depend on the generation speed of the kenetic energy harnessed in the blade, rather than the pure initial strikes kenetic force.
kyle, the field around wukanda could have something to the effect of an artificial gravity field that has a strong enough electro magnetic field that it could affectively bend light as needed
I just figured black lightnings wall of energy that he used to stop bullets functioned in a similar fashion to Cole McGrath's polarity wall. Though the bullets would have to be constructed of ferrous material
That intro/outro music 😎👌 I love the show & channel too ☺ So glad this all exists to satisfy my general nerdish geekery, my curiosity, musical, humour & many other needs - magnifique 👍☺
About high frequency swords, look up ultrasonic knifes, there's even a guy on yt that made one out of an ultrasonic cleaner, his name was This Old Tony I think
de ja vo is caused by dreams , ever time i have had it its from me dreaming about it months to years before it happened , i had nightmares when i was a child around 7 to 8 years old of a car crash , with people i didn't recognize at the time, but i know there was 2 cars green and blue, we where on a wide road with a ridge or something behind that i lent up against , 11 years later i was a passenger in a car accident , my car was being towed it was blue , the towing car was green , the way it happened crawling out the windows to leaning up against guardrail, it all came back like a huge hit of de ja vo . thats just one of the many things i have dreamed and thats happened , and there are millions of storys just like it , so put them all together and the whole picture comes clear , its like we relive our lives in our time over and over. with brains that we still dont understand anything is till possible and that also gives room to people having ideas that are before there time or just out of no where , but also thinking down this path you will come to the conclusion that everything is in flux , nothing is set and someone steps out of what was done previous can change past and future. lots of people but not all remember things from the past that have changed today. , all this does hurt my head but in an odd way makes sence, and yes i know there are holes in this theory , but going on about all of it would take a few hours to get through , Thank you to all who read this, have a good day :)
can you do a because science episode on if nanomachines could help change the state of someone's cells to create artificial armor, like in Metal Gear Revengence? and what would the possible side affects of these changes have on the user even if they are short term? also love your live streams and your show, keep it up!
The Hulk also would fail to get into orbit because any orbit has to intersect your current position, so he'd always either escape or return to the ground. To actually get into orbit, he'd need something else to change his velocity once he's out of the atmosphere.
If a Lightsaber were to hit a Vibranium shield, the Vibranium would likely disrupt the blade's shield, causing the plasma to spill outward like liquid napalm, and the blade would collapse and need to be rebooted.
So many questions about vibranium in my head. Is it a molecule or an alloy? If it’s a molecule then where would it sit on the periodic table? Does it have different properties according to its molecular arrangement similar to carbon?
On the subject of mogwai, does that mean that seasons affect their transformation, so that in winter you may feed them in early evening and they would still transform...
I have a theory that Wakandan's initially used tools made out of the fusion crust slough offs to mine the first harvests and later developed hybrid sonic and laser tools to mine further and further into the Mound.
This will probably will be lost between other comments, and I'm really not sure how you care about my opinion on the scale from 0 to 'meh', but I still gonna try anyway. When you started doing those live shows, it was bad and clunky, especially comparing to the forethought of usual issue. This one, however, I have rather enjoyed. I still have some arguments against your thesises, but whatever, that's not the point right now. I'm not sure whether it's because I'm getting used to it or because you're getting better with live shows (hopefully, the latest). But anyway, keep going. I'm genuinely curious what this might become. P.S. Thanks for separating from Nerdist, you was the only reason I was following their channel.
The faster the atoms in the sword vibrate the more chances they would have to line up properly to quantum tunnel into whatever it was cutting causing it to cut more easily
@14.17 you say that the bullet would turn the world a little bit. But what about the recoil from when the bullet was shot? Wouldnt those two forces just cancel out?
KH: "Is there short question, a tiny question?" Q: "What do you think about Déjà vu?" KH answers Q: "Followup question, What do you think about Déjà vu?"
Raissa Pinckney I assumed Thor was holding it when it struck Black Panther. If not, I imagine it would keep moving. Kyle did an episode on how the hammer works awhile back and concluded it operates by fluctuating it's own gravity and the direction it goes in. With that logic, I'd say Mjolnir would keep moving either after pushing around BP or moving him with it using momentum, since it would technically be "falling" horizontally.
Raissa Pinckney It's okay, we all forget things. Also there's a chance Mjolnir would stick to him like a magnet, since thats the direction the gravitons are pulling the hammer.
Mining Vibranium for Dummies: The sonic damper deactivates Vibranium to allow the mag lev train to safely reach top speeds, and T'challa uses this in the movie to deactivate Kill Mongers suit to stab him. Wakanda probably uses the same sonic damper technology in their mining equipment to be able to mine the Vibranium, and could also be possibly used to smelt the Vibranium to make weapons, armor, tech, etc.
Well technically since the umbilical cord is meant to fall off after birth and not something we remove due to societal norms (like say certain previously mentioned skin) then in theory even if he had his ability at birth his body shouldn't regenerate it since it was never meant to stay there.
Well if you're in the forest right outside Wakanda, you look towards the barrier, and the barrier function like you've mentioned, wouldn't you see the sky in front of your face instead of trees, or something else strange, therefore you would know that there is something there but not sure what it is? Or would it be better for it to project an image of a forest from inside the city "bubble" to the barrier material, whatever it maybe. Or even a huge size version of Black Widow's mask from the end of Winter Soldier?
I know I'm late, but I just watched 'Cloverfield Paradox' and I have a metric butt-ton of questions about some of the more "sketchy" science in that thing. Maybe you could dedicate an Episode or two to it ...like the scene where Officer Tam instantly freezes in an open airlock full of water. Huh???
Kyle, If the Wakandan energy shield could be programmed to reflect only specific wavelengths of light in specific areas, wouldn’t that allow it to project any image it wants?

vibranium can be destroyed or at least manipulated because they did that on the transportation trains in Black Panther. Reference the last fight. Apply that to say a wall of vibranium and you can make, cut, mold it into anything.

How unstable would it have been at atmospheric entry/terminal velocity speeds of a falling meteor?
Because Science if the Death Star is made up of kiber crystals, then could it just be an incredibly big light saber that turns on for only a moment?
You already know what we think, telepath liar
Yes, you should make an episode about mogwai.
Steven Burton Yesz he should make an episode on mogwa
I've wondered about when the safe-eating period starts. But I think that the sequel pokes fun on how the eating rules don't make sense.
Do the mogwais!!!
Definitely. In doing so, you could also probably earn a partial credit from the Institute Of Gremlins 2 Studies.

Vibrainium is 2.61 grams cm3 as it’s 1/3rd the weight of steel 7.85g/cm3 as stated by Howard stark to Steve Rogers in captain America the first avenger, when he’s asking about the shield.
That is interesting, although I think Kyle will have corrections due next video (considering he gets so many comments everywhere)
Rew Rose that’s why I think it’s closer to a long chain Carbon with the property’s of Graphene and plastics .
lasarith2 - it's often mistaken as simply a metal too, but they started referring to it more as a mineral to move away from that. Graphene comparisons are quite spot on. Instead of strict hardness it's toughness and absorbative properties likely come from a molecule level spring structure with transfer channel configurations that spread force around the total mass.
They were talking about weight and you are talking about density

I love these live shows I always try to answer to the question to the best of my ability before listening to kyle explain it to see if we come to the same conclusion. Ah I'm so happy that we get more because science now then ever.
Bryce Jonathan That's sounds awesome! I'm going to try that now.
As for the Frequency sword thing, you can see a video on a channel called Skallagrim. Basically it wouldn't work 'cause your body would absorb the vibrations, but he explains it fully
It wont work because you need to end them rightly! (sorry i had too, dont throw any pommels at me)
Haven't watched this vid, strange. Should fix it, ty.

i think you mean 20:07... I'm from Manitoba, i think we have like 2 hills, so we win.
Shane Hanson we have hills, we named an entire area on them(Cyprus Hills), and Saskatoon has a “mountain” that was the old garbage dump.

Quick google search:
Biggest wingspan of a bird is from the albatross, about 3.1m (around 10ft), yet it weighs around 20~28lb. So, yeah. :)
Felipe Morassi And the largest known wingspan of a pterosaur was 13m (43 ft) of the Arambourgiania.
One of the funniest Kyle moments so far: @3:53 "...are.... you know they're not though, right?" Unintentionally hilarious lol
Just for your information:
The heaviest raptorial bird is Vultur gryphus, the Andean condor. These can weigh up to 15 kilogramms and they have a wingspan of about 3 meters. The heaviest birds that are able to fly are Ardeotis kori, the kori bustard, which can weigh up to 19 kilogramms.
The bird with the largest wings is Diomedea exulans, the white-winged albatross, which has a wingspan of 3,5 meters.
By the way, the wingspan of a Quetzalcoatlus is estimated to be up to 13 meters.
Characters like Black Lightning manipulating charge on finer levels aren't always depicted as vaporizing the bullets, sometimes they're acting like a deflector field (exciting the repulsive negative charge of the incoming projectiles' surface to repel off a field of negatively charged particles around them; slowing or reflecting the bullets themselves in the process).
Aww, I'd love to see a gremlins/mogui(spelling?) Episode.
The biorythem explanation was always my understanding of the 'dont feed them after midnight' rule, as it's always after midnight!
Love to see your take on the instantainous reproduction due to water reasons as well.
In theory if there was such a creature that multiplied from becoming damp, on a planet that's mostly water, would surely quickly become the dominate species in number.
But then all die out when the sun rose :( .
Lastly, could there be an evolutionary explanation as to why they start off so cute and adorable?
Absolutely love the new channel! Been waiting and hoping Because Science would grow and develop into it's own thing :) .
There was hardly any lightning in the Arctic because the air was too dry to form storm clouds, but since it's warming up, the air is filled with more moisture, and therefore, storms that produce lightning. In Canada, where we have a cold, dry winter season, lightning is rare in the winter.
New favorite channel! It takes that “what I’m going to use in the future” phrase and gives it a meaning! To understand the world better
Yes, please, I totally want to see an episode dedicated to the Mogwai of Gremlins. You just gave the first rational explanation I've ever heard regarding the "after midnight" feeding restriction and I love it! I used to say that, by the same logic, you could put a Mogwai on a jet and circumnavigate the earth staying in sunlight and fatten that little bugger up until he explodes. Maybe you could! But then there is the getting them wet restriction. How hydro-reactive are they? If I sneezed on one, would he multiply? (ew, that's gross). What if it was a really REALLY humid day? Of course, note that the first film takes place in the winter time, so the humidity would be very low, but then they do tread through the snow so...?
Sci-Show recently made a video about thunderstorms in snowy weather. It's much more rare because for lightning to happen there needs to be big temperature difference which doesn't occur as often in winter, but very rarely it does. So based on that.. extremely unlikely that lightning would strike Arctic but I guess possible?
In the book "Physics of Super Heroes" there's a good explanation for how the flash vibrates his atoms through things. The way the flash does this is by vibrating his atoms so fast that they hit the wall enough times that due to probabilities in quantum mechanics his atoms end up tunneling through the wall! THE FLASH IS QUANTUM TUNNELING, BRO!!
@Sci_Phile First off I have dinoflagellates as well and they are absolutely beautiful, also their circadian rhythm is what affects their bioluminescence. About 10-14 hours of light and dark per day is optimal for their specific circadian rhythm. Second, idea for a future episode, Gambit and the kinetic energy he "creates" to imbue other objects with and how that could effect items of various substances. Since kinetic energy is so popular right now due to vibranium.
Wait, Star fish are called sea stars, so they're made of stars?
(Interestingly, they are. Just like everything else on Earth. But it ruins the joke.)
Could we give a boom/mic to the person reading off the questions? And/or could Kyle restate the question? It can get a little difficult to correctly hear the questions.
Absolutely love this format and everything you talk about
Hey Kyle, this could just be me but I have kind of a hard time finding a point of reference for hundreds of thousands of Kilograms- tons are a little easier because, for example, I know that a car weighs 2 tons. When you give measurements like that, could you possibly also provide a reference point for what that means? It would help a lot. Love the new additions to Because Science, you’re the best!
Katie Robinson 1 ton is 1000kg so you can do the math.
Anyone remember Sebastian Shaw? He was the villain for X-Men First Class. His power is to absorb any sort of energy directed at him, he can then store it and send it back at his ooponent. In his fandom page it even states: *"This made him extremely difficult to defeat in battle, as all the kinetic force from an enemy's strike or projectile assaults is another form of energy that would ultimately be nullified while simultaneously strengthening him."* (xmenmovies.wikia.com/wiki/Sebastian_Shaw)
That got me thinking... What if Sebastian Shaw and Black Panther got into a fist fight?
Mogwai episode, yes please. Maybe even cover water as reproductive trigger?
And I think the thought behind a vibrating blade is that the vibration create room for the blade to continue moving, instead of being pinched by the material it's cutting into (like you may have experienced using an old hand saw)
Ultrasonic blades are a thing! Ultrasonic knives are used to cut everything from sticky rubbers to cakes to food on assembly line without tearing out any sections, and they're just a normal knife attached to an ultrasonic transducer and horn
Yes please, mogwai eating habits episode. Also, could you touch on the whole hybrid gremlin thing (bat, spider, well mannered aristocrat etc) and what the possibilities/nightmares could be - sorry, hybrids and gene mixing have always interested me... like a symbiotic Groot or a xenomorphic-tiger offspring for example.
11:20 You may not answer it, but I will.
If we are to believe the events of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" (and please, PLEASE don't hate on me for bringing it up!), then James/Logan was a child in Canada in the late 19th/early 20th century.
Since it's very unlikely that he's Jewish (and I don't mind being corrected btw), he wouldn't have been circumcized shortly after birth as a matter of course, since that was only put into general/mandatory practice in the United States in response to the rise of STD's in soldiers coming back from war.
You also *sort of* answered that by stating that the X-Factor tends to kick in at times of stress and/or during puberty; recall that in XMOW he was coughing his lungs out in bed prior to the shocking murder of his adoptive father by his birth father. So any injuries prior to that would probably not have been repaired.
tl;dr Yes, Logan has a belly button, and *if* he'd been circumcized he'd stay that way.
An episode on Biorhythms would be awesome. There's a lot of elements of literature and cinema that rely on it-- Mogwai, werewolves, and possibly even vampires as well as few other things that are obviously slipping my mind.
Why do Supers with super strength lift, pull, or stop large objects without pulling off two hand fulls of the object or punch through it due to it's weight being balanced on a relatively small spot?
Tactile Telekinesis.
Realistically, if you had super strength it would be curse. You'd destroy everything. Even if all you did was lift it, you'd break it upon picking it up because of the amount of force you exert.
That assumes you're as strong as say Superman though. If you were only as strong as Cap or say Wolverine. You'd be alright.
They say it's Kryptonian Magic, it ain't magic, but everything he touches is covered in a protective field that makes things not crumble
Nevermind the objects being lifted, or stopped, if you had super strength, and I'm assuming you mean like Superman or Thor levels, and ONLY super strength, the thing most likely to break is you... Because the human body has limits..... You could be physically strong enough to throw mountains, but that doesn't mean your bones and skin and heart and support that kind of stress.... Which is why, usually super strength is paired with some level of superhuman toughness.... But to answer your question, assuming that hero a with super strength is also tough enough to withstand his own strength, then it would be impossible to lift outrageously large things without them suffering critical failure and breaking... And if you were to catch something heavy falling from somewhere high, because momentum is conserved, and I'm assuming you're not wearing a vibranium cat suit, you don't absorb the kinetic energy, it would still do a shit tonne of damage.... Hope that helps.... Peace
This is the bit that was so conveniently ignored in both The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman... the bionic limbs were attached to human bodies!
Forgot to ask my question :C
Hey Kyle, I'm a mechanical engineering student, I was tasked with doing calculations for my senior design project about vertical impact force, and it got me thinking; if black panther's suit absorbs kinetic energy, but momentum is conserved, shouldn't he still die from a high fall (like the one in the fight with kill-monger) because of the deceleration of the impact still affects his internal organs? If his body experiences more than 20 G's he's probably going to have internal damage right?
Please make the Mogwai question an episode. In addition, If you took a Mogwai to an all-you-can eat buffet, but stopped feeding it just before midnight (or the "6 hours after dark" time), would they still turn? Meaning, is it the digestive process or the actual act of eating that turns a Mogwai into a Gremlin?
Ah, I was wondering why the production value was low. Turns out that this was a live stream.
It's pretty hard doing well in a live stream, good job.
Charles Lee He has a schedule, always does love streams on Fridays now :)
You had mentioned Spillover on a previous video, I just wanted to mention that there's a book called "New Guinea Tapeworms and Jewish Grandmothers" that I think you would also like. It has all to do with parasites and viruses and is a really good book.
There are ultrasonic blades, which technically use their vibration to cut through things. A high frequency sword would probably work in a similar fashion. The difference shouldn't be too dramatic, I think. It'd be like a sword that's doesn't dull with use....
They show black lightning using a "lightning force field" to block bullets. Idk if he meant using a bolt to stop it but using lightning in a way to stop it.
The Wakandan cloaking field can't just redirect light, it's too big. It covers an entire nation that's at least as big as the greater New York City area, and makes it look like a natural valley. You aren't seeing a valley _on the other side_ of Wakanda, you're seeing a valley _in place of_ Wakanda. The only way to do that would be to basically have some sort of projection screen that covers the city, _and_ projects a lifelike, illusion across its surface, _and_ that projection would need to be glass-less 3D like the Nintendo 3DS, otherwise you'd just see a dome with a painting on it, _and_ of course you need to be able to fly right through this field. It's basically nonsensium. But, you know, "Wakanda."
Tim Ogul - going by the other examples of hologram use in the movie, it has to be a holographic field supported by the energy dome. You are correct and I had the same thought that simply refracting light around the nation would not account for what anyone sees. At the very least, refraction would make a visual displacement that fails to give a believable image at a close distance, much less explaining trying to see the ground.
As for how a glassless dome supports 3D holographics, they would have had to perfect air-molecule-light-emission. The semi-spherical dome field edges are the point at which the energy projected terminates from a central origin point; at that edge the air molecules receive their e.m. data and spreads to the visual spectrum creating an image. The imagery is configured in such a way that it has the holofoil effect of distance instead of a flat painting on a sphere. What makes it easier is to have the imagery conform mostly to shapes of foliage and hills that are slightly or much bigger than the buildings and other structures it is masking. Looking like both a no-landing space (to discourage wanting to go close enough to pass inside the field) and then from land it is bordered by the tribe that denies/discourages getting too close to the field edges.
Would of been nice for them to explain at least 1 percent of their fricken tech it's not like they don't in the comics and saying it's just vibranium doesn't fricken work because vibranium traits are well known despite being confusing it won't heal you or generate holograms, the fact is they just wanted to make a magic based movie instead of a sci-fi movie and it pretty much made the whole thing underwhelming
I just learned why the air hose on my compressor gets hot. I love this series.
Yes please do a full video on magui/gramlines life cycle.
Offhand, I'd guess lightning CAN strike in the arctic but that it is rare. Both poles are essentially frozen deserts with minimal humidity. Since lightning is (almost) always the result of thunder storms and since deserts don't tend to get them, I very strongly suspect that it doesn't happen much at all.
Is it possible for people to fly like superman (who is not human) from energy produced from within his or her body?
in order to phase through objects you would have to nullify the weak nuclear force of every single atom in your body where you're mass would consist of isolated particles so that you could pass through nearly everything just like neutrinos, which are so small they pass through extremely dense materials with ease.
Friction welding is what happens when breaks of a car heat up and lock up. I would love to see some Gremlins videos.
We use vibrating blades to cut through foam at work, you can't really cut through it when the blade is turned off
I actually saw a falling stall a day before this was posted and I watched as the tail began to get longer before it disappeared over the mountain horizon. It was fascinating and kinda beautiful.
Wow, that's hat was the best explanation on gremlin eating after midnight I've heard. I'm late to your channel. With that said, I would love for you to do a video on it. And if you already did I'll find it.
Also love your channel.
Could Kyle have meant 60 tons (60,000 kg) when he said 60,000 tons (60,000,000 kg) for the Hoba meteorite?
Wow I messed up huge. Thanks for catching this -- KH
Because Science, to be fair, I only caught that because I excitedly googled the Hoba meteorite to see what a 60 million ton meteorite would look like. Love your videos. Keep them coming! 😊
And then after looking it up your were majorly disappointed...
If it actually was 60,000,000 Kg, then that would come out to 66138.678655 tons. However, it is only 66 tons, which comes to 59874.2kg.
Jazmine Harper, so very disappointed! Haha.
Please explain how black panthers suit is able to fit in that necklace.btw keep up the good work. Tom
Tom Mckinlay maybe Shuri incorporated a pocket dimension into it. Likely the mirror dimension from Dr.Strange.
Doctor Cthulhu maybe she added the vibranium deactiveator tech so when he wants the suit the tech is shut down and then the suit appears round t'chala
Tom Mckinlay I don’t know about that. the deactivate tech is sound-based and always gave off physical cues everytime it was being used.
It was also shown to be entirely within the necklace, including the helmet, so unless it’s SUPER thin(thinner than it looks in the movie) that mass has to be somewhere else.
A better idea than my original one, would be that Shuri/Wakana also cracked the Pym’ miniaturization tech. That would make a ton more sense than a pocket/mirror dimension. It was an idea that Pym had in the 1950s-60s, so Wakandan scientists or Spies discovering/acquiring the tech is very plausible.
Assuming Wolverine’s man bits were removed at birth (even though he’s Canadian and that wasn’t popularized yet, and it was the 1800’s) all the scars and stuff he had would have stayed. I’m pretty sure scar tissue isn’t damaged or in need of healing.
The term you're looking for regarding the Mogwai midnight feeding debate is, circadian rhythm.
Maybe I misunderstood it’s description in the movie, but I don’t think vibranium naturally absorbs kinetic energy, but rather a specific kind of weave allowed by vibranium’s unique strength that allowed it to absorb kinetic energy (hence the talk of micro springs to absorb kinetic energy in earlier episodes).
As a result of this, I believe it would have crashed into Earth as you’d expect any other meteorite would and would only absorb kinetic energy if processed in a certain way. As for mining it? I don’t know, how do you mine something than is stronger than anything you have on hand? Once you have some processed into a tool designed to mine it, I’m sure it would be simple to mine, but before that? Who knows.
I never realized how legit you are until the live shows. Love the show and look forward to seeing you again ^-^
As for a vibration sword, wouldn't it have the effect of making the weapons surface area effectively larger than it is? This would be counterproductive severely limiting the weapons usefulness basically making your sword in to a club. Also yes please do a gremlins metamorphosis vid.
"How do you mine Vibranium?" The meteor wouldn't be pure, solid vibranium, it seemed spread all over that cave, so assume most of the rock is just rock of some kind. You'd mine it like normal stuff, it'd just maybe be a bit quieter than usual. You'd end up with piles of sloppy, mixed ores, and then you'd "do something" to refine that into usable ingots. Could involve heat, could involve acid. Presumably vibranium has a massively high melting point, but iron-age cultures were able to process it, so it couldn't have been like Aluminum processing or something nuts.
I've always wondered about the Gremlins rule of don't feed them after midnight cuz it's always after midnight and it's always before midnight. And how are time zones accounted for, and what about daylight saving? Definite make a full episode on this subject.
After midnight. How do you know when this time period is over? Because, technically, after midnight means time form 00:00:00.001 to 23:59:59.999
Yeah in Wolverine Origins (yeah that movie) Logan gets his claws when he is a kid so maybe he got his superhealing around that time as well.
as a followup on another viewers question on if vibranium could be used as a bullet, I'd like to ask what someone who may understand plasma better than myself how it could be used as a munition (I've heard a lot of people claiming that plasma will replace APFSDS munitions. I however doubt plasma can keep up with effective ranges and armor penetration of NATO depleted uranium 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 40mm, and 120mm munitions.
I believe the arctic actually has *alot* more lightning than the rest of the planet, not only is the weather at the poles *wayyyyy* worse than everywhere else, at least generally speaking, winds and ice particulates are basically a constant (and its these things in combination that causes lightning). Not to mention the whole northern lights thing. Not sure if the extra radiation or electromagnetic phenomenon would have an effect, but it's pretty likely i think.
Please make a Gremlin episode!
And I imagine that you don’t want to bring your little Mogwai friend to the artic because of the long night cycles.
I always thought frequency blades worked because the blade is contantly generating kenetic energy against the surface it is hitting, making cutting through the object "easier" as it adds to the kenetic energy you are applying. As to whether the blade would slice as quickly as in a lot of ficition would then depend on the generation speed of the kenetic energy harnessed in the blade, rather than the pure initial strikes kenetic force.
Yes!!! Make a episode about the mogwai internal clock vs time zones
Instantly one of my new favorite channels as soon as it became a thing! Love these new love and vlog vids too.
kyle, the field around wukanda could have something to the effect of an artificial gravity field that has a strong enough electro magnetic field that it could affectively bend light as needed
I just figured black lightnings wall of energy that he used to stop bullets functioned in a similar fashion to Cole McGrath's polarity wall. Though the bullets would have to be constructed of ferrous material
Wakanda’s shield in the movie seemed more like a hologram than a light bending force field
That intro/outro music 😎👌
I love the show & channel too ☺ So glad this all exists to satisfy my general nerdish geekery, my curiosity, musical, humour & many other needs - magnifique 👍☺
So a jedi master wearing the black panther suit,armed with Captain America's shield, and a light Saber would be virtually invincible.
About high frequency swords, look up ultrasonic knifes, there's even a guy on yt that made one out of an ultrasonic cleaner, his name was This Old Tony I think
de ja vo is caused by dreams , ever time i have had it its from me dreaming about it months to years before it happened , i had nightmares when i was a child around 7 to 8 years old of a car crash , with people i didn't recognize at the time, but i know there was 2 cars green and blue, we where on a wide road with a ridge or something behind that i lent up against , 11 years later i was a passenger in a car accident , my car was being towed it was blue , the towing car was green , the way it happened crawling out the windows to leaning up against guardrail, it all came back like a huge hit of de ja vo . thats just one of the many things i have dreamed and thats happened , and there are millions of storys just like it , so put them all together and the whole picture comes clear , its like we relive our lives in our time over and over. with brains that we still dont understand anything is till possible and that also gives room to people having ideas that are before there time or just out of no where , but also thinking down this path you will come to the conclusion that everything is in flux , nothing is set and someone steps out of what was done previous can change past and future. lots of people but not all remember things from the past that have changed today. , all this does hurt my head but in an odd way makes sence, and yes i know there are holes in this theory , but going on about all of it would take a few hours to get through , Thank you to all who read this, have a good day :)
can you do a because science episode on if nanomachines could help change the state of someone's cells to create artificial armor, like in Metal Gear Revengence? and what would the possible side affects of these changes have on the user even if they are short term? also love your live streams and your show, keep it up!
Chelyabinsk meteor event was 15 February, 2013.
Maybe the meta material that Wakanda has is a projected liquid.
The Hulk also would fail to get into orbit because any orbit has to intersect your current position, so he'd always either escape or return to the ground. To actually get into orbit, he'd need something else to change his velocity once he's out of the atmosphere.
If a Lightsaber were to hit a Vibranium shield, the Vibranium would likely disrupt the blade's shield, causing the plasma to spill outward like liquid napalm, and the blade would collapse and need to be rebooted.
So many questions about vibranium in my head. Is it a molecule or an alloy? If it’s a molecule then where would it sit on the periodic table? Does it have different properties according to its molecular arrangement similar to carbon?
I always thought the reasoning behind vibrating swords/knives was so that they were essentially "sawing" at incredibly fast speeds while you cut.
On the subject of mogwai, does that mean that seasons affect their transformation, so that in winter you may feed them in early evening and they would still transform...
I have a theory that Wakandan's initially used tools made out of the fusion crust slough offs to mine the first harvests and later developed hybrid sonic and laser tools to mine further and further into the Mound.
This will probably will be lost between other comments, and I'm really not sure how you care about my opinion on the scale from 0 to 'meh', but I still gonna try anyway. When you started doing those live shows, it was bad and clunky, especially comparing to the forethought of usual issue. This one, however, I have rather enjoyed. I still have some arguments against your thesises, but whatever, that's not the point right now. I'm not sure whether it's because I'm getting used to it or because you're getting better with live shows (hopefully, the latest). But anyway, keep going. I'm genuinely curious what this might become.
P.S. Thanks for separating from Nerdist, you was the only reason I was following their channel.
uncle Lem I thought he was nerdiest
I only followed Nerdist for this as well. And I got notifications for everything uploaded but Because Science so it was pretty annoying.
I still watch Nerdist for their Muskwatch, that's fun too
The faster the atoms in the sword vibrate the more chances they would have to line up properly to quantum tunnel into whatever it was cutting causing it to cut more easily
I love this live format. Keep it up, you do really well when you are put on the spot.
@14.17 you say that the bullet would turn the world a little bit. But what about the recoil from when the bullet was shot? Wouldnt those two forces just cancel out?
What about an Ultrasonic knife? They cut through things without any pressure put on them. Aren't they vibrating or how do Ultrasonic knifes work?
KH: "Is there short question, a tiny question?"
Q: "What do you think about Déjà vu?"
KH answers
Q: "Followup question, What do you think about Déjà vu?"
If you're going to make a full episode about one of these questions, make it about the vibrating to pass through things thing.
What would happen if Mjolnir hit Black Panther's suit?
Raissa Pinckney It'd absorb the kinetic energy but the momentum would send BP flying.
Emperor Paulpatine So would Mjolnir keep flying or would it fall to the ground?
Raissa Pinckney I assumed Thor was holding it when it struck Black Panther. If not, I imagine it would keep moving. Kyle did an episode on how the hammer works awhile back and concluded it operates by fluctuating it's own gravity and the direction it goes in. With that logic, I'd say Mjolnir would keep moving either after pushing around BP or moving him with it using momentum, since it would technically be "falling" horizontally.
Emperor Paulpatine Riiight, I completely forgot about that episode.
Raissa Pinckney It's okay, we all forget things. Also there's a chance Mjolnir would stick to him like a magnet, since thats the direction the gravitons are pulling the hammer.
Mining Vibranium for Dummies: The sonic damper deactivates Vibranium to allow the mag lev train to safely reach top speeds, and T'challa uses this in the movie to deactivate Kill Mongers suit to stab him. Wakanda probably uses the same sonic damper technology in their mining equipment to be able to mine the Vibranium, and could also be possibly used to smelt the Vibranium to make weapons, armor, tech, etc.
Well technically since the umbilical cord is meant to fall off after birth and not something we remove due to societal norms (like say certain previously mentioned skin) then in theory even if he had his ability at birth his body shouldn't regenerate it since it was never meant to stay there.
Well if you're in the forest right outside Wakanda, you look towards the barrier, and the barrier function like you've mentioned, wouldn't you see the sky in front of your face instead of trees, or something else strange, therefore you would know that there is something there but not sure what it is? Or would it be better for it to project an image of a forest from inside the city "bubble" to the barrier material, whatever it maybe. Or even a huge size version of Black Widow's mask from the end of Winter Soldier?
I know I'm late, but I just watched 'Cloverfield Paradox' and I have a metric butt-ton of questions about some of the more "sketchy" science in that thing. Maybe you could dedicate an Episode or two to it ...like the scene where Officer Tam instantly freezes in an open airlock full of water. Huh???
Kyle looks so much like beardy Steve Rogers here I just cant
Yes make Mogwai vid, and what would happen if Gizmo was in the Arctic circle, would he have to turn in order not to starve?
Kyle, If the Wakandan energy shield could be programmed to reflect only specific wavelengths of light in specific areas, wouldn’t that allow it to project any image it wants?
Please make en episode on the mogwai/gremlins and include how long after midnight you can feed them again.
You know you're dealing with a scientist when the answer is, "It depends..."
