Most Slytherin Snake | Because Science Live 

Kyle appears at 2:21 :)

14:15 This, recruits, is a 20-kilo ferrous slug. Feel the weight! Every five seconds, the main gun of an Everest-class dreadnought accelerates one to 1.3 percent of light speed. It impacts with the force of a 38-kiloton bomb. That is three times the yield of the city buster dropped on Hiroshima back on Earth. That means Sir Isaac Newton is the deadliest son-of-a-bitch in space. Now! Serviceman Burnside! What is Newton's First Law? Serviceman Burnside: Sir! An object in motion stays in motion, sir! Gunnery Chief: No credit for partial answers, maggot! Serviceman Burnside: Sir! Unless acted upon by an outside force, sir! Gunnery Chief: Damn straight! I dare to assume you ignorant jackasses know that space is empty. Once you fire this hunk of metal, it keeps going till it hits something. That can be a ship, or the planet behind that ship. It might go off into deep space and hit somebody else in ten thousand years. If you pull the trigger on this, you are ruining someone's day, somewhere and sometime. That is why you check your damn targets! That is why you wait for the computer to give you a damn firing solution! That is why, Serviceman Chung, we do not "eyeball it!" This is a weapon of mass destruction! You are not a cowboy shooting from the hip!

The heaviest viper is actually the Dodge viper

i mean technically the basilisk is the most Slytherin snake...

I know I'm super late but I hope you see this anyway. I've been thinking about the problem regarding General Organa floating and Yoda not sinking. I was wondering why the force isn't considered to be a semi static energy field that is spread more or less evenly across the galaxy that can be acted on by force users? That way, the user could bend the force under an object or behind it to make the object move. That way the push back would be on the swamp floor or somewhere behind General Organa. To sum up, the force doesn't have to come out of someone's body it surrounds, penetrates, and binds us.

Just gonna say that, technically, super perception is a power that comes up quite often, although mostly because its a secondary power that most, if not all, speedsters have. If I remember correctly, The Flash has said that his brain works faster than the super computer that runs the Watchtower. And, as bleach pointed out in one of its more disturbing scenes, having super perception without the ability to act at a similar speed, like speedsters can, it would be rather terrible, as hours, days, even month or years can seemingly pass in time it takes to so much as raise a finger.

The weird thing is, that I swear that the Harry Potter school are practically making future Voldemorts

“Why did the school ban scissors.? To keep kids from cutting class.” This is what my Alexa said when you asked her to tell a joke Kyle. I put the phone down next to it to do some laundry and you set her off. 😂😂😂

Vantablack is "owned" by a giganabutthole artist who can't find it in himself to let other artists used in art. Black 2.0 is almost as not reflective as Vantablack, but its available to all...Except Anish Kapoor. These are some interesting facts to know about art, artists, and the way science can be prohibited to the many because of the few.

To skip the intro 2:20

Actually, there is a show that indirectly talks about super perception. On the show "Heroes" one of the speedsters says that she was sire that one guy hesitated because one second was like several minutes to her and the same speedster was able to hold a conversation with Hiro who every one thought could completely stop time, when he slowed time so much that it appeared stationary.

Watching at work while I file three months of sales ordering, receiving, and sales feels amazing... thank you. Also, seeing my coworkers that understand a negative percentage of this is beautiful. Thank you.

Thank you re readdressing quantum mechanics in that platform 9 and ¾ episode. It finally helped me begin to actually wrap my head around the concept, maybe not 100%, but far more than before with The Vision episode. However, it gave rise to two new questions. 1. If quantum mechanics was possible for a human sized object, how would it appear to our eyes? Would it look like they are “phasing” through the wall like we’re made to believe like with Vision or Kitty Pride, or would it appear like they pop on the other side almost like “teleporting”. 2. If there was some way for a human sized object to make all their molecules almost behave individually so they are much smaller and have a better chance at passing the quantum equation, would that be more scientifically accurate to explain how a “super hero” could pass through objects? And with that if your hand touched a wall would it sever from your arm and appear on the other side, or wait for the rest of you to catch up and appear as a whole?

Hey Kyle.Im an avid fan of your channel, seen all your videos and Im from Trinidad.By the way,keep up the great work.I recently saw a video on youtube of a guy passing his hands through a stream of molten metal and he was not at all getting burned.Someone mentioned the Leidenfrost effect which I dont know much about and was hoping you could elaborate on it in your super cool way.Thanks!

"Hey, captain, you need to see what I'm seeing… but wait, I can't find my MRI helmet so you can see what my eyes are seeing. I guess I'll just have to use my camera." Also yeah, you should watch Red Dwarf.

when it comes to super strength, how strong do you want to be while still having a degree of dexterity and control and living a normal life. Having the strength of superman or the hulk would be over the top. Bane's level of strength is probably more realistic as a super power for the human body

Love every format. Regarding some of the items in this live show, comments, not questions. I think the chlorophyll question might be inspired from the "Old Man's War" series by John Scalzi - in that series, enlistees (min age to enlist 75 yrs old) had minds trandplanted into vat grown soldier bodies that were enhanced humans with among other things, chlorophyll in the dermis that provided additional energy for the body, and oxygen availability. There's so many things beyond just figuring out how to make and retain chlorophyll before a benefit can be derived but I bet it'd be possible. Regarding hibernation - there's a lot of evidence that if water crystalization can be prevented, an organism, even as complex as a human, can be switched off, and then back on again. I'm reminded of a several events where people have been submerged in icy water for 15 to 30 minutes and survived without injury. Interestingly two kids fell thru ice and were submerged for around a half hour. One recovered entirely, the other survived as well but suffered brain damage. It appears the brain damage one lost heat more slowly, and suffered more damage due to hypoxia. It should require a trivial amount of additional effort to develop a non (or low-) toxicity molecule that can be tolerated by the humnan body's tissues, which can prevent the formation of ice crystals, and a body can be reduced down to freezing temperatures and held indefinitately with negligible metabolic activity. Though I think an even more interestinig route would be to give a body a broad spectrum antibiotic and several days of fasting, sedate it, reduce the temp to 1C (just above freezing), intubate and put on heart bypass. I suspect that at that rate a body can be preserved with little metabolic activity, negligible muscle atrophy, for months or years. I'd love to try it. (on someone else first of course!)

Humans with chlorophyll sound cool, but practically it isn't really that great, Plants are sedentary (obviously) , and need very little energy comparably to humans. Lets assume humans somehow devote all their skin area to generating power and we ignore the fact that most of that area would be in shade and operating less efficiently. Humans, on the high end have a skin area of around 2.0 square meters. Across the globe the average solar energy is about 164 watts/square meter. Knowing that we can calculate how much solar energy falls fall on our skin over the course of 24 hours. 164 * 2 Square meters of skin = 328 Watts * 24 * 60 * 60 = 28339200 Joules over a 24 hour period. However this is not the amount of energy a plant would take in with peak plant efficiency being around 7% leaving us with 1983744 Joules. Knowing the number of Joules we can convert to the kilocalories and get a grand total of 474.13 calories. Consider the 2000 calorie standerd per day, and this might seem like a sizable chunk, but it assumes you spend all your time outside and your skin is a blanket on the ground considering the caloric gains for the amount of work you need to make this possible are not worth it.

The easiest way to see what someone else has been seeing would be cameras in glasses lenses hooked up to VR goggles. I think we can do that now.

Little known TV show Tower Prep (that sadly got canceled after it's first season) actually had a character or two with powers similar to if not exactly as described as super perception. Might not really able to contribute to the intellectual aspects of the show but I figured i could just let you know that someone was intelligent enough to contrive that superpower. I love your content Kyle, you and your team keep up the amazing work.

Your thing about the Alexa made mine go off and it scared the hell out of me lol

On the subject of super perception David Weber had a military sci-fi series called In Fury Born and path of the fury in which the local super soldiers had super perception to the order of 20~ish seconds felt like 10 minutes or more, allowing them to perfectly account for battlefield conditions and aim with absurd precision.

why has this not got more likes.... I love this guy!!! bask in the intelligence and learn!!

Gaboon vipers have a pretty docile temperament though. Its super venomous, but it wont try to bite you unless you step on it or something. And if I remember correctly dry bites are actually kind of common.

There are cameras being developed that can replace an eye, sending signals directly through the optic nerve. The resolution isnt amazing and its only black and white, but its enough to give some degree of vision back to the blind. Give it a few years and we might start seeing prosthetic eyes with cameras on the market.... if they include a built in wi-fi module you could live stream content directly from (or too) your eye. Aaaaaaaaand suddenly youve got spies with terminator/robocop style eye cameras with new directives popping up on "retina displays"

Dear Mr. Kyle Hill and all the other people working to make Because Science, first id like to thank you for making this amazing series which we all love. I'd like to ask if you would ever consider on making an episode on SCP (secure contain protect). Most of the SCP's are quite realistic and make they all make sense to a certain extent in a scientifical point of view, but theyre also weird which is why the internet loves SCP so much. might i suggest something on SCP-682, SCP-096, or perhaps SCP-372(i like that one). if not, then there are thousands of interesting SCP's to choose from. I highly recommend reading into SCP and the game aswell, it is truly interesting. Thanks -me

In the game series Halo, they use a serum when they use cryo pods that does that same thing as the frog, it shows that some one could be working it out and cryogenics could become a reality, though it would take a while to find out what could prevent freezing without damaging the body.

The hair would need to be thicker, the longer the rope. Make a long enough rope of uniform thickness and put it under acceleration (gravity) it will be long enough to snap under its own weight.

One thing about super perception; it's necessary for every superpower user that has to have fast reaction time in order for it's main power to be fully utilised. Another thing is that pro esports (or generally really good) players can tell the difference between 240 Fps and 144 . Though I will admit it's not the same thing .

30:19, you activated my Echo Dot... impressive, considering my phone was on the other side of the room.

How do the markers work? I always thought the drawings were added in post. Also is Kyle left handed, or is the image flipped so that his writing appears the right way round?

fanta black sounds like a great flavor for a soda company

Where does the dog scientist decide to spend her day? -At the Labrador-y That is the joke Alexa asked me for you

I had a botany teacher talk about getting chlorophyll into humans for photosynthesis. While being theoretically plausible it would be to inefficient to provide the energy requirements necessary for human life. What I think would be cool however is a type of infection or topical cream that contains or create chlorophyll and can be used in emergency situations to provide a small amount of energy. “Trapped in a desert? It’s a good thing you have a small reserve of energy that is better than nothing”.

Hi Kyle, when you talked about quantum tunnelling you reminded me of the movie Doom there was a special door that they used. Could you explain the science behind it please?

Don't tell Kyle but Slytherin's colors are green and silver, not black.

In north az there’s tiny black rattlesnakes that look super angry. Honestly southwest us and northern Mexico have so many native species of snake that I have seen a few I still can’t identify. Im an Eagle Scout who worked in nature lodge and taught reptile and amphibian study up near flagstaff. Plus my oldest friend handles venomous snakes for the herptalogical society and has been for like 5 years. I used to relocate snakes in phx all the time

In reference to the “seeing what others see” question, is it possible to “intercept” signals from nerves? Could you plug wires into optic nerves and get a pulse of electricity that could be converted into an image? Since I was a kid, I’ve dreamt of being able to record my own vision. Then when things happen, you can just plug your optic cable into a device and playback what you watched.

I'm not sure if you take requests ( I'm new to this channel, but liking it so far) but you should do a video about if you could actually make a space marine, or any other "super soldier".

LoL kyle, when you said Alexa tell me a joke my Alexa heard the TV and told a "why did the chicken cross the road joke!"

Hi Kyle can you give a possible explanation on how pyrokinesis works ? Love your show

If you had flight along with super strength could you use flight to compensate for equal and opposite forces so that you wouldn't punch your self backwards or in to the ground.

Ayy thank you for answering my question. Much love.

10:53 Just wondering... how does the magnetic field exit AND enter the same poles? Shouldn't it go from the northern to the southern pole (so from top to bottom) instead of from left over the top/bottom to the right (or the other way around)?

Hey Kyle you mentioned something about our strongest batteries being the heaviest batteries I was just curious if you had heard about Diamond batteries? I don't know how strong they are in terms of power I just remember hearing something about them and it being a new technology

"See what I'm seeing Captain" You literally described how a camera works. A better use for that technology you described would be for dream states, where the user can't actually just show or describe what they are seeing for various reasons. Also keep in mind your going way up the ladder for this information if its just observable phototnic data. All we really need is a way to access the raw data coming into the eyes nanites maybe? then send a wireless signal to a hub that would contain a decoder for that information and make it a view able image(s) and then you can pick your point of output.

I had an Albino Burmese python. Beautiful pinks, whites, and yellow colors and she loved to roam the house all day

Does quantum physics allow for individual particles in a larger group/molecule to quantum tunnel away from other particles? For example can an electron quantum tunnel and detact away from a water molecule?

Hi, i think that a better way to see what other people see will be with visual prosthesis, I particularly like the Dobelle's bionic eye, in a scfi future you could get different sensor attached to you visual cortex and change of view like "Predator" movie

hey Kyle, wouldn't super/extended perception suck without the required body upgrades due to how fast neurons and nerves can fire/transmit?

Where do you get questions live?

If you could change the distance between electrons in some object, changing it's density, could you increase the chances of the object quantum tunnling through a wall?

hey kyle love your way to describe on the fly how and what you think of X subject. An experience i can tell you is that Salvia . . . the plant , when consumed by human delivers a unique that no other known drug or molecule at all can do to the brain. But as far as we can see and understand from studies , consuming salvia doesnt hurt or damage it . Your brain can actually deal and "digest" that molecule. AND THEN !!! When you actually do that ( keep in mind that is in my word and own experiences ) When you deal with the stuff, it unlocks you special brain connection. Its stupid to say it like that but, something very unique and temporary happens. For a short amount of time . Must of us at the first session will freak out and prefer to not think to much about that experience . Push to another session to understand , then another one . Under controlled supervision, then you will feel like you can actually " Slow the framterate of the brain " , You will feel like you can do everything in any single given moment just as long as you think or want it. I believe there is a way to do what you describe bsed on my salvia experiences. Its hard to explain because we are not used to that Fiction everyday in our life. It soounds impossible. Like the universe being more than our galaxy. I had to leave this message here, in hope that a single other person approves or can clarify even more . The perspective of everything i

If you cooled down anything to near absolute zero and made a human sized bose-Einstein condensate you could make a very large mass coherent which depending on some variables could make it at least slightly more likely to faze through walls

The Arctic Ground Squirrel can freeze solid and survive. Even its brain dies in the process when it hibernates yet it still comes back in the spring! It's the only mammal known to be able to be frozen and come back!

Super Perception is what the modern forms of Sherlock Holmes has, and i would definitely love to have it. Of course he also has Eidetic Memory as well. i wish Kyle hadnt asked alexa a question, cause mine went off and i had to rewind the video to see what he said, lol.

Took a screenshot so I can use that 24-60 in future console vs PC arguments

YOU HAVEN'T SEE RED DWARF!? GET ON THAT RIGHT NOW, KYLE!!

what if (it would need a crap ton of energy) we made a quantum synchronizer that uses qbits to store your information, then it would expand your quantum momentum (simulate mass as energy forcing them to be in the same place but not the same state like a neutron star) by a fraction of time, phasing 1x10^-16/seconds forcing the molecules lowering their mass to phase through the obstacle and stabilizing by regaining this mass at this rate or even faster rates we could call it the N(Neutron)S(Star)Transposer

That Mrs Jackson reference. .lol. I am FOR reeeeal!

Is there a limitation to the distance of quantum tunnelling and how "instant" is it? Still bound by the speed of light, or are we getting into that 'spooky action' realm? Then we could perhaps mix that tech for teleporters in Star Trek etcetera.

Best super power I've heard of:the ability to change the probability of events. Even if only a small amount.

How would the basilisk's paralyzing/killing gaze work??

Regrading the quantum boring question: if its a issue of scale/mass as to why we don't experience quantum stuff on the macro scale, could it possible for living organisms like bacteria to experience on the micro scale in a way we can't? Or are they still to gigantic if the norm for quantum mechanics is at the atom level?

16:34 that was my question when I was a kid.😁

Could you do an episode on how hard General Greivous’ swing was during his light saber battle with Obi Wan Kenobi? I’m interested to know how a humanoid type can block a strike from a robot when during the fight scene Obi Wan tries to kick General Greivous and hurts himself but can go toe to toe with 4 light sabers being flung at him.

In SOMA (video game from the makers of amnesia: the dark decent) the entire consciousness can be scanned and downloaded into a robotic processor and one can be "brought to life" within that processor/robot with the same capability of free will and creative thought that would be within our normal meat suits. While I would be interested in whether you would consider this a form of second life or not; I am more interested in whether you believe this form of simulated existence could function, with the checks and balances that would have to occur at one point or another, when the subject realized they were no longer flesh and blood. (I believe the shock of this would be more than we could handle and while a state of forced ignorance from our brain/processor might allow us to perceive the new mechanical senses as the natural fleshy ones, at some point we would become aware of this new body and this would cause a mental breakdown/quandary that could ruin the very mind that was copied in the first place.)

About superperception: If you would experience life with more 'frames per seconds' you would need a much faster processing brain. Being bored is the lack of stimuli for the brain. A lot of things in life would be boring to a superperceptor. Imagine having a conversation with someone and having to wait ages for their responce. This is further explored in the movie Her.

You're wrong about the flash for too many reasons for me to mention right now, I'll just say he can travel to another point very far away from himself before the air molecules pushed by him initially have time to interact with anything next to them. If he were 2m^2 and moved causing air to bump into other air molecules that causal reaction occurs at mach 1, yet he travels at many times c. One could rearrange his surface area and speed:speed of force acting upon the air as a reduction in speed and an increase in surface area. Etc etc. He could "unravel a hurricane"

I just watched this video while showering with my waterproof Pixel 2 and when some water muffled your voice I blew in the front speaker, the water on the screen both disliked the video and popped up a "Would you like to Unsubscribe?" Dialog... The hyrdrogen dioxide really has it out for you Kyle

God Damn it RU-vid! Stop telling me about these after they stream!

Red dwarf is one the greatest shows and you Kyle would love it. Also you didn’t answer the SECOND half of the hair question: at what point would hair pull itself out of your scalp?

This is rather late, but two quick details about giant snakes. The first is that Titanoboa was a real giant snake in our fossil record, and the second is that particularly massive creatures can have their own special sort of homeothermy even without a warm blooded metabolism due to the square cube law.

Kyle! I saw you on the discovery channel! Hells yeah

The ships in Matrix movie are definitely powered by gas turbine engine, turbo-shaft electric generator likely or something similar, there is a scene where they jump start another ship by what seems like a compressed air hose, which is commonly used to start turbines... So they "still" use good old kerosene or some liquified gas or whatever similar, but synthetically made combustible fuel. And there was some scene where turbine flamed out as they rose waaay too high, to escape those terminator-octopus-thingies, and their ship was likely not made to run at high altitude thin air i suppose, and they could not get engine running before they hit the ground... So definitely air breathing engine. It is part where Trinity is killed as they hit something sharp, and that engine restart attempts sounded like what i would imagine trying to restart small gas turbine with battery/compressed air power or whatever energy storage...

When Kyle was talking about the superpower he would want (at about 22:40 ); It sounded to me like he wanted the basic abilitys of the Sharingan from Naruto.

When Kyle said "Hey, Alexa, tell me a joke," my Alexa did just that. Maybe I should turn the volume on the video down.

Alexa did not tell me a joke when you told her to.... I'm kinds bummed.

Can you make a video about freezer's army armor, because in the serie when Vegeta turns into his ape form it expands with him, is that possible in any way?

*Applause for Kyle's new sign-off"

Kyle you forgot about the titan boa it was around when the dinosaurs where around (i think I didn't Google when it was around it's early here )

Could a bose-einstein condensate be manipulated to perform quantum tunneling? Aren't bose einstein condensates coherent?

*every question* " I don't know..." goes on to do a detailed answer about the question lol

Small thing: you said the gaboon viper lives on the forest floors of North Africa, but it's actually the forests and savannas of Sub Saharan Africa in the South.

Nothing to do with the episode I just thought I'd mention that I don't think pointing is bad like mainly the generation before me says. I think it's just an expression of emotion or focus and if anything it's good especially for people like you giving knowledge because when you point to or motion towards or gesture to the people you're talking to it's more engaging and holds attention better

I believe Film Theory did an episode on the possibility of Tangled working.

Ace Outkast reference!🤣

So I just watched the new spooderman movie and in the scene where Vulture is raiding Tony's plane shouldn't Spidey be unconscious from not getting enough air since it would be much thinner as well as from the cold

Just now... Alexa: "What did the Terminator say to his last sip of coffee?? Hasta-la-barista baby." Ummm.. yeeeah.... still a few years out from 3PO. :/

Late to the party, but.. In Red Dwarf, when someone is in stasis, they are somehow forced out of time. So while they are an event in space, they are no longer an event in time. Officer Todd Hunter explains it in season one, episode one when Lister is put in stasis as punishment for not revealing the whereabouts of the cat he smuggled on board. Red Dwarf did get into some interesting areas of science and philosophy and managed to do so in a funny, engaging way. I highly recommend it.

Kyle, what about creating a quantum field that is wrapped around a subject. Since this could possibly create a quantum coherency, would that not make quantum tunneling possible?

The "super perception" sounds somewhere in between spider man's senses and the drug in Limitless

Coral have photosynthetic critters in them.

"I don't want to fly, I just want friends" -Kyle 2018

But if you used a quantum machine thing, wouldn't you fall through the ground? Or if it's localized to an area like your forearm, if you reach too far into a wall you might leave droplets of blood on the surface and probably get a bacterial infection

Hey Kyle, could you plz make a video over the candy bar scene in handcock... could someone that is the physical equivalent of Superman actually throw a candy bar so hard that it would throw someone out a building. Or would it just smash into the person and crumple?

I think Bothrops asper is the most "Slytherin snake". It's venom causes necrosis of the skin and can kill 32 men with the venom produced from just 1 bite. They have great camoflauge and are very quiet and will often times bites without much disturbance. That sounds amitious and cunning and definitely deadly

Hi Kyle. Have you seen Bleach? In that show Captain Mayuri gives Szayel Aporro superhuman perception via a drug. Suffice it to say, that it is not a superpower he wants. You could argue that some version of superhuman senses might overcome the problem, but it was just an example of this superpower being mentioned :)

Way to make Alexa start chattin' 😂

Why don't the North and South sides of a magnet try to stick to each other? Or if they do, why doesn't it feel like they're pulling on each other when you're holding them?
