Thanks for watching Super Nerds! Sorry I wasn't able to get to your Spider-Comments -- we even have days off here in the Void, so I can't film everything all the time. See you for this week's episode; it's going to be a blast.-- kH
I am glad to hear you guys take days off. I'd much rather know that one of my favorite youtube channels and the people behind that channel don't burn out. Enjoy your time off :) you all deserve it!
@@megageorgekaplan Ummm pain. Lots of pain. Ive had a static shock on the end of my left leg stump and by god it dropped me instantly. Id hate to think what a proper electric shock would do. Provided theyre different lmao, I don't actually know
Hey Kyle. I was wondering if you have ever heard of the SCP Foundation? If you have do you have a favorite? If not, I think you should check it out, it's a perfect example of Creepy Pasta using a scientific format. Love your stuff.
Or how far he was, considering flight speed. But the way you put it in your first sentence makes me imagine a time when the location of a god was considered an every day science.
You guys act like he can't just walk or run at a normal pace. He can just like any cyclist control and build his speed up within the ability of the bike but then just keep spinning faster once he's up and going.
Just a reminder, there's an episode of Scooby Doo where shaggy and Scooby take Scooby snacks and run fast enough around the Earth backwards to turn back time
Flash on a bicycle....even if he did manage to accelerate without slipping the wheels the bicycle would rip itself apart from the centrifugal forces in the wheels
This. None of the components of a bicycle would hold up at any serious speed. Consider the bearings and lubrication in the wheel hubs. How fast before the heat of friction boils off the grease and the whole thing melts to slag? A few hundred miles per hour? The Flash is fully capable of moving at normal speeds, so there's no reason to think he couldn't accelerate a bicycle gradually and maintain friction with the ground. What isn't going to happen is the bicycle itself holding up under the stress. As lone wolf says, the wheels will fly apart at a certain point. The lubricants in the hubs will fail. Something is going to give out LONG before he hits a tenth of his speed on foot.
What if instead of traditional wheels it was just reinforced spokes attached to an axle, would it just dig In place instead or would the flash still get any lateral movement
Dude we are talking about a guy who made a treadmill that can travel thru time with him and pull others. I'm sure he could make a bike that wouldn't be destroyed
Note: The Flash might also quickly wear out the bike. And yes, if he had a "special Flash bike" that was built to handle the friction he would create, I still think that he would move faster than himself running, alone.
Holy shit - I was very skeptical on the whole thing of Kyle being the top search result on google for The Elephant's Foot. So I googled 'the Elephant Foot Article', and lo, it is an article by Kyle Hill on Nautilus. Very cool. Very, very cool.
Honestly, with the potential power needed to do what the Flash does (IE speed based powers), a Bicycle could not withstand the stress. Even if he started slow and eased into it, the friction of both the air and ground would essentially melt most every part of said bicycle. Add to that that at some point beyond a certain speed, the centrifugal forces would not only destroy the tires, but also the wheels, chain and sprockets.
A silly point to be made on my part but I believe that before friction took effect with the flash on a bicycle his feet would move to fast for the gears to resist the force and the gears or chain would shatter/fly off or the pedals and their arms would snap. he would have to slowly build up speed for friction to be the giving point in my mind but their are to many variables on the bike such as strength of all of the parts to make a prediction and thus your idea of a "Flash Bike"- Kyle Hill, Because Science, would be the only way to do it. Great show, love the hair, and keep unloading science on the masses sir.
If the force is as powerful as they say, ( specifically Vader, Palpatene, and Yoda) can a Jedi Master or Sith Lord or really anyone who is high ranking with the force, can they not destroy a planet without the death star?
The quote you should remember is when Vader says "Don’t be too proud of this technological terror you’ve constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force." The point he is saying refers to the Tarkin Doctrine about inducing fear into people. The exact power output of the Death Star is not just in the destruction of Alderaan but in how much fear people feel when they discover that the Empire has such a weapon. The Force however is capable of doing Anything. And so if a being is truly intuned with the Force then they could reshape reality however they wished. The destruction of a planet would be easier than it is to lift a pen for us, hence Vader's statement.
I remember the first time i ever saw that illusion, it was shortly after broadband was becoming common-place, and social networking and memes weren't really a thing, I was in such disbelief I copied the image into mspaint and cut square b and dragged it over square a and my mind exploded
I love your show foot notes and Because Science, question why did some plants like the Venus flytrap evolve to eat bugs and small animals while others just stayed normal plants?
Two things 1) Our brains are amazing. What we see is milliseconds (or smaller, I'm not sure how big the gap is) behind what is happening and yet we don't all die instantly. 2) Thunder/Lightening are two sides of the same coin. You can't have one without the other.
Oh god I felt it so hard with the Liquid Oxygen part, I work on F-18s and they used to use LOX for the Cockpit Oxygen system. Testing wires around the LOX pod, or removing and replacing it is the freakiest shit I’ve ever done. Seriously don’t fuck with that shit, I’ve never seen a spill or a break, but I’ve heard some horror stories.
I'm just imagining it right now flash on a bicycle going so fast he doesn't move. Hahaha I swear they need to make an episode of this or a comic book that has this happened in it it would be way too good to see
Gotta a scientific orbital mechanics question for you. Considering global warming isn't stopping from increasing anytime soon, the earth's distance from the sun & Newton's law of conservation of energy and momentum. Could NASA design a low pollution thruster, located in a barren desert, that could be used for a certain time limit every day. Done at specific times to propel Earth in certain directions depending on the rotation of earth and time of day. Effectively widening earths orbit around the sun and lengthening the year. Thus cooling the planet over time. Similar to the earth spaceship question, but not as extreme and not interstellar travel. - btw, love the show!
Absolutely and unequivocally enjoy (and learn from) your show! If you look at it out if focus, one can break the illusion. Which leads to an interesting thought and series of thoughts: - does your brain only "Edit" what's focused upon? - is unfocused or peripheral vision more keen? (or less influenced by experience) - is Experience [of Reality] the only factor? (Would a newborn or blind-made-to-see be able to pierce the illusion more readily?) - HOW MUCH DOES OUR SUBCONSCIOUS LIE TO US?!??????!!!!
With each "step" you take on a bicycle, you move much further than you would with the same "step" (at the same speed) on the ground, because, instead of just moving your foot a small distance on the ground, you are moving by a multiple of your bike's wheel's circumference. So, it still seems "logical" that The Flash would be "faster" on a bicycle : for the same "step", at the same "speed", he is going further.
Considering that the flash can only go so fast before the force of his foot hitting the ground would launch him into the air, thus creating a speed at which he could not physically go beyond, could he actually bypass that speed limit on a bike where he wouldn't have his feet hitting the ground, and instead be powering a chain on gears to propell himself forward?
The second Daleks story on the original Doctor Who had them trying to put rockets onto Earth to make it mobile and other sci-fi shows have used the idea. I'm guessing we need the planet spinning for gravity so we wouldn't be able to ride the planet even if we could.
I used to work with liquid oxygen - I worked for an in-home healthcare company that stored liquid oxygen which would be used to fill our delivery trucks by myself and few others. I can assure you it’s very dangerous! Kyle, is correct! Leave it alone!
So did that checkerboard have 1 or 2 colors??? I'm confused now... Liquid oxygen: Kyle, you forgot to mention that it is used for/as rocket fuel. ;) Flash bike: Kyle, your argument is true only if he starts at full speed. Rocket Earth? We don't have enough fuel for that, not even mined from other planets!
If sound is the vibrations of the air particles then could space dust cast sound through space. Or even better, coins the stars of the universe act like air particles and deliver sound across the universe. Lots of super novas I imagine since the stars would have to crash into each other.
You cannot actually create a room that has no gravity while being on earth, However you can create a "room" that negates the force of gravity through its motion. If you where to look up "Zero Gravity Aeroplane" you should get some results relating to this.
Wouldnt Dennis' question or more precisely, your answer be explained by the vomit comet? Obviously its not a room without gravity but it does give you a visual to the being in a box and free falling vs accelerating
I wana know something devil may cry has lotsa wow moments but how fast does nero percive his seroundings in dmc 5 in the slow motion scene he seem to see and react as if thats how he see,s the world
So about the question on removing gravity ima room. Couldn’t you control gravity with dense objects? Like super dense. Since gravity is relative to density one would think if we have a object as dense as our earth in a room gravity would be canceled out. Makes sense to me. I’m sure there’s more too it.
To propel the Earth, I would think the rotation would have to stop or else we would spin about like a balloon and get very nauseous. I suggest multiple points of propulsion coordinated with the Earth's rotation and the direction you desire. Contact the Squire of Gothos.
Okay so I know the speed of light is the fastest thing possible. But, what happens when you reach that speed? Would you just stop accelerating? Or would it be like pushing on an immovable object where you can't exceed that set speed?
Speaking of the Rocket-Planet thing..... *Would it actually be better or needed that the world still be rotating?* Especially if no sun/orbit, geothermal power is likely all you'd have. . . or how think?
I noticed when you were asked about Aquaman voice under water at the end of it you made a high pitch voice. You said that air is a liquid like water. wouldn't that mean that helium is a liquid to. And helium makes our voices high-pitched. So wouldn't that make it lower pitched because water is heavier than air. If we could speak underwater that is.......xD
Just another problem to the flash on a bike is to actually make sure he didn't just do a wheel spin on the spot he would also need a ludicrous gear set up and all you would gain is efficiency not speed
So on the topic of turning Earth into a spaceship... The rockets would probably have to be gigantic right? Like Continent size. Maybe bigger. But the rockets would have to stick out as well, right? Kinda like a city of rockets like if China was filled to the brim with Skyscrapers ad each skyscraper was a rocket. If you remember, China itself has the Three Gorges Dam which was confirmed by Nasa as potentially slowing Earths rotation. So if you take that dam and times it by a continent then theoretically the rockets could knock Earth out of orbit without ever actually being turned on. Hell, It could potentially do that before the work was even done. The only way to prevent that would be to balance everything out and build an equal number of rockets on the opposite side of Earth until eventually you've taken all the surface area of Earth and there's no room left to live so we would have to live inside the planet. Well, that's no problem as we'd probably have to do something like that anyway's since I'm sure we would destroy our atmosphere by doing this or at the very least pollute it to the point of being unlivable. I'm not a scientist but... idk guys I don't think we can do turn Earth into a spaceship.
I _HATE_ that checker square picture. I've seen it over and over, but no matter how many times I see it, no matter how much I KNOW they're the same, my brain *_refuses_* to see them as the same color. I first saw this in a physics class (talking about light) and the teacher despised it for the same reason.
14:48 ... yes... but you'll fry the planet by doing so ... all that heat has to go somewhere and the only place it can go is space via radiating butter to use the moon as a gravity tug :) also sfia says hi :)
Some people say the 4th dimension is time related but i think its perception related. Like if a basketball was popped you would see it before it was inflated after it was inflated and after it was popped all in one.. But i think you just see the basketball from every point of view i think time perception starts in the fifth dimension no proof no research just my opinion
Thor is the God of thunder. Odin, his father, named him the god of thunder out of mocking reasons because as a little kid he was extremely afraid of the thunder even though he has "lightning power".
youd think the second the Flash gets on a bike and starts peddling the wheels would instantly explode due to the shear friction of the initial kick off
Flash on a bicycle would rip it apart, already some professional mountain bikers can snap their chain with the force the put into their first pedal, with the force it would take to cycle at hypersonic speeds, you'd snap the chain, strip the crank and possibly shear the frame, and you'd fall flat on your face.
Wouldn't the flash just destroy the ground he's running on? In fact, since running is pushing against the ground, wouldn't he just jump super high instead of running?
Wandering Earth... Futurama did it first. November 10th, 2002 Season 4 Episode 8 "Crimes of the Hot." All robots must be gathered on the 'back side' of the planet to move it further away from the sun to eliminate the global warming crisis. Long live Futurama.
You know that the first cybermen on Dr Who id that to Mondas back in the 1960s. Just saying piloting a planet is not a original sci-fi idea. Good episode though.
But if you could get past the low temperature of liquid oxygen, what would happen if you drank it? Could you somehow bypass breathing with it, if you would inject it into your blood in very tiny amounts, all around your body? Again, bypassing the temperature problem...
It is an illusion, but free will does exist because of the element of consciousness and effects all time all the time. Your future consciousness can affect your current and even your past consciousness.
Hey, I was wondering, will there be a crossover between *Because Science and the Flash* 🤔 ? Because the Flash *Season 6 Episode 2* is apparently titled *“Into The Void”* 😂
Yes, which also makes it a crossover with a Nine Inch Nails song of the same name. Now we just need to find a connection to St Elsewhere and it'll turn out that everything is an autistic kid's dream.
Maybe, but I feel that far before the bicycle broke, the chain would snap and the bicycle would decelerate and even if he turned the pedals it would not pick up any more speed
