Quantum Levitation - Why Superconductors Float 

Do you miss nerdist?

I have been waiting for that finger clip since that live stream when you hinted at it.

Goodbye Radio Telescope of Arecibo PR

Everyone loves to make fun of Deepak Chopra because he is the living meme.

Science Aquaman

how the eff does that work?!

*the most attractive hemsworth brother Nerds need good confidence too lmao

Chris Hemsworth /was/ one tasty dish as Thor, but after Endgame Kyle is definitely upgraded to 'most attractive Hemsworth'.

I didn't expect so many ICP jokes when I clicked here today.

I was just watching shadoversity's analysis of the frypan weapon effeciancy but he never got into the impact ability of it. Could we get an episode looking into this aspect of the weapon?

Yeah I misspoke here

@@kylehill I feel bad for you. Make one mistake and the whole internet clowns on you. How many times did you have to ctrl+c ctrl+z that single phrase

@@trash_mountain a few

@@kylehill tanks for a great informative and cool channel . Hope you can cool down the commenters 🥰

And Hacksmith has made a real life working hover board. 👍

Next generation is gonna be superb👌

that would be awesome

would pay to see that

Levitating hot wheels track? Sounds familiar

Invest

*cold wheels

Super cooled material capable of super conductivity at extremely low temperatures warms up to the point it is no longer a super conductor. Kyle, "oh, he cooled down". Simply misspoke, got em though! It's the composite material not the magnet that is super cooled.

Cooled down? Shouldn't he have said warmed up?

I misspoke

@@kylehill the older we get, the more often that happens. LoL

@@kylehill clearly, the amount of cool went down. Therefore it cooled, down.

Wow that hit home

I would like, but you have 69 likes

Hiding in the parking lot during my lunch break dreading going back to work

@@arenomusic so real. Good luck

@@conflictfree88 Aw, thank you! :) Didn't expect to get a response from a comment thread in a 5 month old science Thor video but you made my day

I felt called out

@@Rain593 me too

More like: yes...

Don't even get me started...

same

Because you’re still thinking about the basilisk

@@NinjaBearFilms how?

Don't jump scare me like that Kyle...

@@NinjaBearFilms lol u just reminded me

Because science

[cries in Adam Savage]

I don’t see Adam’s name anywhere on the papers. Tough Luck.

I was thinking the exact same thing

I figured someone else already pointed this out

I was gonna say the same thing

No, neodymium magnets stop working if they are too cold :)

Yes, I misspoke here

Flying cars are called helicopters.

At those temperatures I'd go brrr too

Fun fact... the craft that have been reported around the world for Centuries that are best known as UFOs, use a process known as electromagnetic gravitics to “fly”... but they don’t actually fly and they’re not unidentified. The forms a magnetic field that acts as an anti gravity barrier that allows them to basically seperate from the space around it and the perceptual universe/reality that we operate in.... this technology has existed for over 100 years and earth has actually been kept in a perceptual matrix where people are in a state where they believe that 1. This technology isn’t possible and 2. The concept of “nothingness”.... but nothingness by its own definition does not exist... not one scientific study ever done has ever supported the idea of “nothing”...

@@addamriley5452 Fun fact. They are not real. Even if they were, how would you know how they work?

Yora yeah they are... also your consciousness is a singularity... your brain doesn’t create its own consciousness but connects to it like wifi... that means everyone in the universe is literally the same person... the aliens are waiting for us to figure that out before any public interaction can be made... the reason I know that is because every year there are more and more reports, every year we have more and more people coming out of the USAPs and testifying on the existentence of technology and I’ve seen one... it’s not that big of a deal bro... the media is a weapon that lies to the public... did you really think they were telling the truth?

I really hope he says yes!

PLEASE SAY YES KYLE

@@dank4383 Same! :D

@@dank4383 meme. (unrelated to the comments, it's just a pun)

I have his answer, it's the cardinality of the null set.

Let's hope it wasn't Ian McKellen or Patrick Stewart, because... ye

@@zeusaurel6714 ? I'm a little confused, what do Sirs Ian and Patrick have to do with anything (I mean, beyond being old British dudes) that would make them a poor choice to love?

I made the same comment!

I think people tend to use words inaccurately without thinking about exactly what they are saying. If something heats up it gets hotter and when it heats down it gets colder, so cooling up would imply it gets colder and cooling down would imply getting hotter, Kyle is technically correct, the best kind of correct.

@@JackSamEss not really. Neodymium magnets stop working at very low temperatures

Yeah, I misspoke here

@@RafaelusOptimus The working temperature of the magnets has nothing to do with the point I was trying to make with how people just say phrases without looking at the individual words and how they relate to each other.

@Amarianee: Reminds me of that scene in _A Hard Day's Night_ where Ringo talks about getting his head stuck in a bannister. Also, I don't know why, but when I first read septum, I thought you were talking about a Prince Albert piercing, which prolly would've been infinitely more damaging AND embarrassing.

@@sdfkjgh 😂 omg, that would have been infinitely worse! I specified just so no one got it confused with the side of the nose, which would have been MUCH easier to remove.

To quote the great doctor house, "how old are you?" "eight" "and he ate something stuck to the side of a fridge? Darwin says let him die". Swallowing or inhaling magnets is like getting shot without actually getting shot.

I know quantum warp theory

Try understanding the 4th dimension to evolve that headache into a migraine

Understanding it is the crux of our current knowledge, only time will truly tell us what we will find out

you and i do very different things when we're bored. and this is why you'll do something with your life lol

@@KeanuG95 The 4th dimension is time, pretty easy to understand. Now if you mean 4D space, different story.

If that magnet could stay cold forever, would it then be perpetual? But that's the problem heats inevitably wants to seep in and it takes energy elsewhere to ensure an isolated pocket of cold.

@@Theoq99 Is the superconductor colder than empty space? If not, it could theoretically work indefinitely in an environment with no external heat like space. Even if it did work forever, it wouldn’t generate infinite energy. It would only just perfectly store the energy it uses to keep moving. That could maybe have some practical use as a long-term battery. Idk, I’m not a physicist.

Banks orbital fringed with solar sails with a free floating core. Planet scale generator, get. Same setup using a gravity well to spin

@@Theoq99 Nope. It would lose energy through other means. If it's in air, there's going to be some sir resistance, even if it looks very round there will be some drag. Vacuum? Good luck making a vacuum with exactly 0 particles in it, but even if you did, it would lose energy other ways e.g. gravitational waves (suuuuper slowly but still at a non-zero rate). There are things that do continue moving without losing energy: superfluids. Just like how in superconductors, the electrons can move without resistance, superfluids flow without resistance. If you cool, for example, liquid helium below its "lambda point" (about 2K) it becomes a superfluid. You can create vortices in it that (unless something is done to stop them) never stop spinning.... If you keep them cold forever, which, as you pointed out, is not a simple task without using energy to cool it.

@@Theoq99 I think there's also the problem that it only started spinning when he messed with it. I'm fairly sure for it to be considered perpetual motion, it has to be moving without an outside force acting on it. Basically something like, if you grab the thing and hold it in place and then slowly let go and it never starts to move again unless you mess with it, then it wouldn't be perpetual motion because it needs an initial force or something like that, while if you slowly let it go and it starts moving again on its own, then that is considered perpetual motion because there was no initiating force. Or something like that, I vaguely remember reading something along those lines a while ago at least, but that may not have been correct.

Great, now that song will be stuck in my head.

Almost like there is some secret way to get early access… 🤨

Nah he's going to make a levitating roller coaster

How are all of the other replies older than the parent comment?

@@thebcwonder4850 probably cause the parent comment edited his comment

@@manuelvelarde2201 indeed

Depends on how you look at it.

I would assume the second but frankly I don’t know shit about this stuff

this is the vinesauce comment i was looking for
