Best idea I 've ever seen
"superheroes have no imagination" is definitely the opening line of a supervillian monologue. This video is a hair's breadth away from that
is a superhero a hero for protecting the status quo?
It's the reverse: for some reason in our comic books supervillains are the only ones allowed to point out the heroes are making terrible use of their powers or otherwise doing something clearly wrong.

Why haven’t I seen this before, I’m crying at that last “superheroes have no imagination” because it’s so true.
This was amazingly funny. Glad I now understand how to bring the entire world to it’s knees by dropping a big heavy thing from really high up, or provide free power to the world by... dropping a big heavy *magnetic* thing from really high up...
I completely agree that super heroes could be doing so much more. I really like stories were the point isn't to beat some bad guy but to revolutionise society in some way. It's just fun
How about instead putting two portals sufficiently far apart and in a tube, letting water fall into one portal, come out the other portal, and power a waterwheel/generator. Magnets will eventually wear out, gravity takes longer to wear out.

When the brilliant ideas for how to actually utilize superpowers are the exact things super-villains do.
Why are supervillains more creative than the heroes? Also what is with some supervillains trying to destroy the planet? They need the planet too
@@daniellewilson8527 Usually because the antagonists are the ones actually thinking what to do.
@@daniellewilson8527 they don't need the planet if they are suicidal
@@daniellewilson8527 I mean heroes are generally just fighting the villian so the villian have to come up with schemes and evil things so that would explain why they are more creative and destroying the planet is a really bad idea unless they are like living on different plantes and they don't like a planet then they can destroy it and it would make sense but It is probably to not to do much about what they are gonna do bcs well they are gonna lose so the end goal won't matter.
@@Need_a_Creative_Name if heroes were creative, they could easily eliminate a villain's idea by a.cutting the villain in half by opening and closing a portal and b. if it an asteroid just summon a portal at ist location and throw it to Jupiter
Not exactly sure what I searched to get this recommended to me but I cannot complain this makes making teleportation in my book SO much more realistic and I thank you for that
I knew chosing teleportation in the "what power would you chose" test was the best answer
Nah best answer is objectively luck/probability manipulation. Literally everything in the universe relies on probability, which to the uninformed is known as luck. If you can control probability, you're not just like a god, you might as well be THE God.
@@Alex-nt4gl
Probability says that, though theoretically possible through quantum fluctuations, a fully-functioning laser gun is extraordinarily unlikely to materialize next to me.
By manipulating probability, it can become a 100% chance.
@@Alex-nt4gl Yes. If your powers are unlimited in scale, you could literally recreate the universe. If they are limited in scale, then you can still recreate the universe, just might take a few billion years.
@@DonnaPinciotThe probability that I spontaneously dematerialize and then get rematerialized at the location I'm thinking of is practically 0%.

Seeing Tom Scott in a Lab Coat explaining what you could do as a superhero if you could teleport and violate the rules of Thermodynamics is all what I wanted to see today...

"What super power do you want, kids?"
Normal kid 1: "I want to fly!"
Normal kid 2: "I want to have laser sight."
Tom: "THERMO DYNAMICS!!!"
I want to have super speed but I think teleportation will be cool
controlling density and texture would be cool. Walk on air or make an invisible brick wall in front of someone running from you. or just make the ground below you a trampoline
Major Telekenisis.
You could do anything.
Never ending falling down no matter where I am
And nothing can stop your free fall
Also as long as your in free fall nothing can kill you
And yes you would fall through space infinitely for ever never dying

That'll be smth good to watch for once
@@ancapftw9113 uhh i dont think its a good idea tbh. Like i'd give them a drop or vial of blood or something. Not my body thats for sure.
@@siliconhawk9293 I'd let them study how my powers work, not screw with me. They wouldn't risk my health to figure it out because that destroys the test subject.
Nope I wouldn’t let the government know about my abilities because then i’d be hunted down and they’d either want to turn me into an international hitman, dissect me, or just eliminate me because i’d be a threat
I've thought of true teleportation as "traveling or being transported to another point in space without having been present anywhere in between." You wouldn't have cognition of being anywhere in between, nor would you have to be concerned over inertia, momentum, or your body's energy or mass consumption. If your teleportation takes time, you would need Earth's center of mass as a standard, but if it's instant, you would only need to know where you're going from one reference or another.
The type of teleportation I like more is Spacial Exchange: whatever volume your body and things you're holding and wearing take would be exchanged with whatever was in the size and shape of you in your target destination. The other type involves time, but is difficult to describe: time and space are manipulated so it's like you were in different places leading up to a point in time without history actually being changed.
(8/1/21)
Yes, but this form of "instant" travel causes problems. It breaks time. How?
Let's say there's a rocket speeding in the general direction of Earth at half the speed of light.
You teleport to the rocket from your "now," but because the time axis is skewed at high speeds, you can teleport back earlier than when you left.
Repeat this a couple hundred times with distant objects (you don't need rockets), and you've gone to the Triassic.
Wanna go back? Just repeat the process with things going the other way.
That "instant" teleportation would give you time travel, like a tachyon.
Thus, a modest solution. Light-speed travel.
You still wouldn't recall being anywhere in between, but traveling to the spaceship and back wouldn't net you any negative change.
This solution avoids breaking relativity, so I'm sure Einstein would be happy about that.
@@alexandermcclure6185 Reading your thoughts on teleportation is fun, too. Thank you for sharing.
You're right about my version having problems with the laws of physics; but, I'm not going for 💯% realism. My ideas are somethings I find fun.
„They just go and save a few lives. You can do so much more.“
Thats actually my thoughts about superheroes summarized. Why kill an evil dictator or end corruption if you can catch a thief.
Or you talking about how they usually catch theifs saying they don’t catch an evil dictator because I’ve seen shows where they do are they usually is not a evil dictator to put in jail I said jail as super hero’s probably would not kill someone I mean unless they absolutely have to.

"teleportation violates the law of thermodynamics"
*continues to teleport
then what if teleportation is the ability to turn your body into a wave(Schrödinger and uncertainty principle), and then to a particle/matter again
huh heat energy can't touch me now
@@mamertvonn an interesting hypothesis, I wonder what kind of wave 🤔 as electromagnetic radiation can always be blocked by something e.g. if it’s radio waves then you couldn’t teleport to space because the atmosphere would likely reflect most of you.
@@mamertvonn I'm not familiar with Schrödinger's nor the Uncertainty principle, but isn't that means, by turning into EM wave, you'll have another plethora of problems to face?
Earth magnetic interference, the internet itself, lightning, etc etc.
@@haveiszalfaroqie1628
And yes, that would be a problem.
The Thermodynamic police have been informed, don’t worry
Tom Scott is a supervillian, a genius, a superhero, an alien and a loved educational channel's loved owner
My concern about teleporting has always been that you create a vacuum where you left and instantly ingest all the matter where you arrive. The former is the problem of those where you left and the latter means that you instantly die.

In every origin story with almost no exception, the "hero" experiences some kind of psychological trauma that they never really recover from. It's not so much "no imagination" it's more in the way of fueling the grief spiral under the excuse of altruism. But, hey. I'm just a cynic. great video Tom!

When Scott deleted his own portals, the metallic object should have hit the floor at terminal velocity.
My thoughts too
Not if it's stayed in between the dimensional pathways created by the portals.
Yes it would, and that's significant because?

@@thefallenomega as far as im aware, terminal velocity is just the fastest something can fall. It doesn't tell you the speed at which said object is falling, just that it wont fall any faster.
I tried so hard keeping this a secret and this was recommended to me. NOW THEY KNOW!
Genuinely, this opens your eyes to how... Well... Unimaginative superheros in comics can be and... Well... How dumb we are for having more of a demand for those heros
"Superheros have no imagination" is something along the way I always think when some super power is shown in fiction: Endless possibilities but they use it just to fight
What would you want them to do? Like say you are given the powers, what does Fox do?
Not all.
Tony stark and Dr. Manhattan for example build cheap energy generators.
It's like only superheroes with stupid strength are cool, yet heroes like flash should be on par with superman.
Movie/comics/anything that includes superhero’s, has a budget
I mean, that happens because those comics are written for a certain audience.
The beauty of fictional characters is that you can write a story about how YOU think they should use their powers outside of fighting, without worrying about the limitation of "the kids/nerds buying this comic won't like it"

never realized how stupid glados was of using nuclear energy ,instead of the portal energy method
But don't the portals take incredible amounts of energy?
Sure, they take a lot of energy to open, but once a "Portal Dynamo" had been set up, the amount of energy you get out is infinite. Worth it, even if you have to set off a nuke equivallent to Tsar Bomba to get the starting energy to set up the portals. It's technically worth it even if you have to destroy the entire universe to satisfy the energy requirements, as infinite is infinite.
+Jeoshua Collins but what if they require a constant input of energy to maintain?
Penjacker Rekcajnep Infinite is infinite.
An open portal resets when the associated portal gun goes trough a Material Emancipation Grill. This strongly suggests the portals are in some way dependent on the portal gun, and that the Grill intervenes with the mechanism in the gun that keeps the portal open.
This makes it even more probable that an open portal is also reliant on the gun when it comes to energy.
I love how immediately in the intro he said "why be a super hero if you can just be a super villain?"
I like how Larry Niven handled the displacement and momentum problem with the teleport booths in his Known Space books. The person or cargo is transferred from, say, New York to Mumbai....but the angular momentum is transferred to a large, heavy mass floating in a tank of water.
Superpowers come at a cost, and that cost is imagination.

Causaly says " You'll hit the wall at 1000 mph, can be compensated for with about 7000 joules, which you can get from a sip of cola" my god, what a sense of perspective I just received.

Wait a second, why are cars not powered by this stuff yet?
Adam Mullarkey Because we don't have the technology to use Cellular Respiration mechanically/electricaly
Gasoline has a higher energy density than sugar. 7 kilojoules is about 1.7 kilocalories, or about the energy released by burning (or metabolizing--it's basically the same) 430 mg of sugar or 360 mg of gasoline.
Tom Scott doesn't explain how he arrived at this figure. 7 kJ is enough to produce a delta-vee of 1000 mph = 450 m/s for an object weighing a mere 69 grams. For an adult human, you would need around a thousand times the energy, 7 MJ = 1,700 kcal, which is far more than a sip of soda and in fact about the energy in an entire pound of sugar.
Note that a car is much heavier than a person and moves much faster, yet manages to go many miles on just a few gallons of gasoline.
you said "delta-vee" shouldn't that be delta-v? Delta ( Δ ) is short hand for change, and v is short hand for velocity. so IE: ΔV = Change in velocity.

Recently (December 2022) scientists working with a quantum computer did something I quite frankly don't understand, but it involves wormholes and the possibility of teleporting things as a not-just-fantasy-anymore concept.
I'll see you here in 10 years when someone else comes by to announce that scientists have accidentally destroyed billion-dollar equipment with an apple traveling at 20kmph faster than anticipated.
@@willsterjohnson Common misconception! They made an INFORMATION wormhole, which transmits data at the speed of light. They did not ACTUALLY make a wormhole that can transmit matter, just the data of some matter (its spin).
Thank goodness. I was hoping for a tutorial like this.
I am so glad the Superhero Help Academic Foundation Trust, Education Division (SHAFTED) paid for Tom to make this.
Fantastic editing!
Editing? This is real
What editing?
The starfield effect at 0:30.
The world has fallen into chaos and who do you think was behind all of that for the last 5 years
No its teleportation
"Paid for by the Superhero Help Academic Foundation Trust, Education Division"
So SHAFTED?
I sense the influence of Matt Gray
0:03 but what if i wanna become a villian
So good to see somebody competent attempt addressing all the nitpicks I've ever had about teleporting ._.
Wouldn't there be an issue when you teleport that the vacuum left behind would also create quite literally the loudest noise possible?
Depends, if you change place with the material on the other place or not. Also how fast your teleport bubble collapses and appears.
Imagine accidentally (or not) teleporting into half the space someone else occupies and wherever you previously stood now appears half a sliced-through body. Gruesome.
I've had an idea of a story just like this. The main character gets a really overpowered teleportation superpower that he can control much more precisely than in most stories. He can can choose which parts of space he'll teleport exactly. His entire body? Including his clothes or not? What about teleporting just the arm of an enemy to about two meters away? Or teleporting a butter knife to the interior of the bad guys brain? It'd be pretty badass.
Depends on how quickly the air is moved. I assume the sound produced by teleporting is the air displacing/rushing to fill the void.
As long as the effect isn't completely instant or you're moving the air from your target location, you're good.
As to weaponizing it, I've seen a teleporter character carry around a set of metal darts explicitly for that purpose. Same character also took down a building a by putting glass pannels bisecting all the support pillars at angles.
Even with heavy restrictions teleporter supers are insanely powerful.
No, if you use worm holes that can't happen and if you use quantum mechanic that can't happen either.
So the final answer is you are stupid for asking that question .
Tom Scott, sir, you need to make an entire series for all the other superpowers.
AVoiceOfOpinion93 yes
Yes
Certainly
Absolutely
Tom Scott is powerful this video has been in my recommended for 3 months
great video.! the teleportation with the position of earth and solar system is a recently popular thing I came across. this video is about 7years old..! and lot of other infos as well. superheros really need to step up there game.!
“Or you could do whatever every other super hero does fight crime in one city in one country on one planet”
**Sad galactic MCU noises**
Imgine I Tom was able to speak with superheros and villains in person.
I scanned your QR code and found this:
"Hey, thanks for scanning
Notice:
The QR Code Campaign has been disabled for some reason.
Your QR Code Reader/Scanner is working fine."
What is this?
Pls reply, I am curious now.
@@Handsome_Thanos I need to pay for the QR code to continue to be active so its been deactivated since i haven't payed for it :(
@@creativename6767 ok. But what was supposed to be there if you still paid for it?
@@Handsome_Thanos i don't remember
Well now that we have an episode 8, we need to go backwards through 7-1, with episode 1 being "Time Travel"
Nostson or episode 9 can be time travel
***** Episode 13, maybe
Crispy Bacon Ima just say
"I think you missed the point..."
Superhero: breaking the laws of physics with the most incredible abilities imaginable.
Tom: amateurs
Thanks needed this guide
