Today's episode promises to be CRAPPIER than ever - because we're talking about The Martian. That's no judgement on the movie, it's just that the film is ACTUALLY full of poop and poop science. But the question is...is the poop science actually a load of crap? Hold your nose and dive in to discover if it is actually possible for Watney to survive on Mars like the movie portrays.

@bonquiquirivera8839 4 года назад

That's because 99% of science is a theory. If it's not a scientific theory it's a law(ex. Law of gravity). However that being said even scientific laws can be changed. Nothing in science is fact.

@angelmendez-rivera351 4 года назад

Bonquiqui Rivera Well, that's not quite true. The National Academy of Sciences has a definition, which is the universal convention for scientific study, for "scientific fact," and it can formulated rigorously. And such scientific facts exist. Many theories correspond to some fact. For example, the theory of evolution is the set of scientific models supported by overwhelming evidence that throughly explains and carefully predicts the fact of evolution and its mechanisms. Similarly, there is the fact of the existence of gravity, and then there are theories of gravity, the first being by Newton, and then being superseded by Einstein's theory of general relativity, which will in the future probably be superseded by the quantum theory of gravity, when we find it. So, facts do exist in science. Their meaning is more strict than they are colloquially, though.

@angelmendez-rivera351 4 года назад

Gabriel Causaren If it's supported by evidence, then by definition, it isn't an opinion. At worst, it's merely hypothesis, at medium, it's a coherent theory, and at best, it's actually a fact, which will be determined if we ever terraform Mars or not, which would be the video-game equivalent of canonizing the theory.

@Mstamp176BlogspotUk 8 лет назад

+Willaev NSort of. You're being pelted with material that is half the weight it would be on Earth. And possibly also less material in general as the really thin and weak atmosphere (the Martian surface atmosphere is about 0.6-0-1% the density of Earth's) will not have the kind of power to carry as much debris. For the atmosphere alone, F=1ma > F=0.006ma. What's that going to do to the amount or size of debris a Martian wind can pick up?

@efrszcvzvre 8 лет назад

+Mark's Moving Arts but we have sand storm, that increases density of atmosphere there. But I'm pretty sure even that wouldn't tear satelite dish, mounted with steel bolts.

@peepingtom9342 8 лет назад

+Willaev Nope. Momentum of dust/wind is what is important (momentum equals velocity multiplied by mass) and though velocity is the same as on Earth due to lesser density the same volume of martian atmosphere has lesser mass thus momentum is much smaller. Gravity has nothing to do with it, it only adds vertical component of acceleration to any particle of air/dust.

@Mstamp176BlogspotUk 8 лет назад

Павел Таранов It wouldn't be enough no. Curiosity has been on Mars for almost four years, scales and weighs in at just smaller than and as heavy as a small car. If Mars' storms could tip an 80-ton rocket or rip off an antenna dish, then Curiosity should be scrap by now, right?

@aoifekeating1013 5 лет назад

whatwhen999 ino there was food IN the country (eg carrots other veg and fruit) and it was being shipped to England (for wealthy landlords) from ports in cork and Dublin while the Irish people starved to death. The British prime minister eventually sent I believe a type of corn but gave no instruction on how to cook it so the Irish ate it raw or cooked it improperly which made it inedible and finally a tribe in India actually sent the Irish food and supplies but before the food could get to the Irish guess who stole it. The British. therefore committing the largest genocide in Irish history but many people still call it a famine.

@anonwa4309 5 лет назад

Aoife Keating here in the US, we learn it was a potato “famine” yet we never learn the actual cause of it. as a student, we just kinda assumed a natural pathogen, or a drought caused it. however, we do learn how horribly irish immigrants were treated in the US. not only could they not get jobs anywere but the places no one wanted to work (people who used TNT to clear the way for railroads, skyscraper construction, etc). they were essentially killed trying to make minimum wage.

You seam to have forgotten that he wears a space suite everytime he's outside therefore lowering the amount of dirt inhaled

@yunofun 5 лет назад

But how much time does he really spend outside? Seems that the vast vast vast majority of his time is spent inside and a large chunk of that in a room with a dirt floor... Then you have to look at it as an average, and that day the room blew up is probably going to skew the average a bit higher. At any rate the point is moot since what was given was really a worst case scenario which was found to be pretty much harmless so anything that lowers exposure doesn't really change the conclusion.

@icarue993 5 лет назад

yu nofun, I think part of why we inhale so much dirt is the air (and dust) so I don't think there is much wind inside, hence a bit more safe (than safe)

he brought the soil into the station to plant his potatos in, so he actually always in the vicinity of it so he would consume more soil than what Mat said

@matthewhausmann4655 7 лет назад

bruh did u even SEE the movie? plus, the prediction matpat said was based on earth standards, where there is soil literally EVERYWHERE in the ATMOSPHERE. I emphasized atmosphere cuz mars has none, so soil wouldn't stick in the air anywhere but inside the station which he isnt inside much and hasn't had much time to accumulate any soil in the air, so actually he WOULD consume less soil so BOOM!!!#R3KT

100 mg of dirt per day on earth, where we dont use helmets to breath, but on mars he does, so the amount of dirt would be less than 100 mg per day right?

@hologrampizza5432 8 лет назад

He's working with dirt without a helmet on in the movie.

@Parzival-cd9ih 8 лет назад

The reason why he would be inhaling the dirt is that he had to plant the potatoes inside and in the movie it is just a section of the Hab (fancy name for his fancy NASA shelter). However in the book he actually had to cover the entire surface of the floor and the 5 other bunks of his crew ages and some lab tables to no matter where he went he was inhaling it. Also he was only using the helmets for working outside as he only had a limited amount of suit filters.

@vincentganiron6864 8 лет назад

No when farming he removes his helmet

@Outwardpd 8 лет назад

That was the average for a person, he was working with the dirt itself constantly stirring it up, so he was likely actually getting more than average.

@andy4an 8 лет назад

Hey MattPat, I had an idea for you for a new film theory that I was thinking about while jamming to"I need a hero" Shrek theory: this theory rotates in particular around the curse placed on Princess Fiona, or to be specific who placed it on her. We see a lot of witches and even a wizard thrown around in the series, but hardly do they actually do anything to that degree. My hot take was that it was none other than her Fairy God Mother. More so, that this was due to an arrangement made with her own Father to try to ensure that they could get Prince Charming and Fiona to get together, that the original arrangements for this potential marriage goes back all the way to before Fiona is born

Gotta say this was a good episode for sure but I wonder, 1) How would the antinutrients of potatoes factor in and 2) Watney mentions (after the Hab breach) that some of his poop soil bacteria actually survives being exposed to the freezing temperatures and a vacuum environment. Would this mean that the other crewmates pathogens could have also potentially survived in the freezer bags?
