StarTalk Podcast: Neil deGrasse Tyson on Avengers: Endgame 

I want to learn your time traveling abilities

Screen Rant The problem is in the MCU Quantum Entanglement isn’t apart of her powers and it isn’t official. Like there’s some issues, It’s debatable if she is even stronger than Thanos if you don’t go off random science that isn’t officially used for the character and never were apart of her powers. If you go off feats, scaling, lore, and such it’s a close fight but she isn’t FAR stronger that’s factually wrong. Captain Marvel’s Powers came from the Space Stone vía the Light Speed Engine which is why she can go faster than light even her Photon blasts are light speed, the reason she was overpowering Thanos is more likely to do with the fact she can absorb energy and her powers came from the Space Stone canonical which made it so she could hold Thanos down and take a headbutt since before he could grab her and throw her aside, not to mention this is after Thanos fought Iron Man, Thor, Worthy Cap, And Scarlet Witch who damaged him, broke his armor, and knocked away his sword so he wasn’t at his best. But she would still be very even with him and could possibly overpower him especially if she can Amp herself by absorbing energy. Yet honestly Scarlet Witch was more impressive, with her powers she can destroy the Mind Stone and she can completely overpower Thanos breaking his sword and armor almost killing him. She just isn’t physically stronger or more durable. Just had to point some stuff out from a scaling and feats view which is more concrete than using science which wasn’t used in the movies and isn’t apart of her powers.

@Adeel ahsen slow your roll buddy. I don't like feminazi neither, but that isn't propaganda. Read the comics

The globe, space, evolution, aliens, dinosaurs and the entire heliocentric model are all lies.

Adeel ahsen Well in the comics there’s sjw shit too especially around 2015+ when the shit really got crazy lol

yeah he is a great teacher

"If you cannot put it simply, you do not understand it well enough"

Except he doesn’t know what he’s talking about

Can he explain his four sexual assault accusations to me

@@stephenrothrock9731 Have they been proven in court of law?

Gearie Bowman True. Additionally, Thor is not one of these perfectly incorruptible gods (ahem Wonder Woman); he has grown immensely across his character arc. He lives with losing his powers, earns them back, handles loss in an imperfect way (retrieves his hammer from an alternate timeline), and has his shortcomings (Thor Lebowski).

@Matthew Woods So true on WW!

That's just lazy writing though.

@@mob_abominator1868 It isn't though, not everything has to be explained in detail.

Also, Thor could be killed. He wasn't eternal. He loses his eye as well.

Nivadellier

I love that line.

😂

His real superpower is his ability to dumb things down for us mere mortals

Wasn’t he in one of the avengers?

yeah for me too👍🏻

Lol Yup!

Was watching something else this was in my recommended. I forgot what ibwas watching.

@@sithlordbeerus503 Batman v superman

pfffff I am Groot ¯\_(シ)_/¯

with a deep realization behind it

But Captain America went back in time to his own timeline at the end of Endgame. Because he never turned back like you said.

@@tasarasforever In my opinion, that could have been a parallel, close to the same, but not quite the same, Captain America from a different, very similar, timeline.

If you were my gf, i would never let you go

After watching every video, I think the same thing. Science is genuinely fun, but our professors could not do pop culture reference.

@@johnrog4775 kiss?

The fact you're watching this probably means your teacher was quite good

@@A.jmmmm04 lol

Omg, I read this the moment they spoke about it 🤣

True

interesting little fact: Vibranium is NOT the strongest metal earth. it may very well be the most "powerful" in terms of practical applications (as we've seen in Black Panther - the stuff is in everything they use from clothes to eating utensils) But there is one metal that is far more durable AND "physically" resistant. I believe the reason it's never been mentioned is due to Marvel Not owning the rights to X Men until now. Can y'all guess what metal I'm talking about?? Yep Adamantium. Adamntium is far heavier and denser than Vibranium and in the origins of Captain America ( the true comic origins) his shield is truly unique because it is the ONLY ONE of it's kind. an alloy of Vibranium AND Adamantium. So it has the properties of absorbing kinetic energy and the added bonus of beinf far more durable than ANY other object made from Vibranium. Fun Fact: if Cap's shield had been Adamantium, Thanos would NOT have been able to tear it apart.

Typical of humans

@@pattheman3686 I thought they already cleared that adamantium is an alloy

@@pattheman3686 Actually, considering how it acted, it's quite probable that Thanos' blade was a Vibranium-Adamantium alloy, and thus would have been able to destroy an Adamantium shield

@@jemal999 That "could" be a possibility; we KNOW that Vibranium is not native to Earth, but so far no mention has been made of Adamantium "EXCEPT" in X Men Origins, but I do NOT count that as MCU official history. Besides in Origins They nd up going to Africa for the Adamantium; which is where the Vibranium meteor hit. But then there ARE metals in the cosmos that are just as strong, if not stronger than both Adamantium and Vibranium. Uru for example is stronger by the very fact that it's made from Dwarf Star material, which is Extremely heavy a simple house key made from Uru can weight up to hundreds of pounds. So in effect Mjiolnyr wasn't just unmovable because of the enchantment Odin paced on it, but it was heavy because it was made from Pure Uru metal.

Minutes That would be a great crossover for Rob to be in this conversation.

Yes, we need this. Also Robcorp represent.

He is Robert He is a cop He is RobertCop.

Minutes if they did a sit down like this with Rob and Dr. Tyson, it would be the greatest video (maybe) on all of RU-vid!

Rob woul

@Cancel Ok I'm pretty sure she says "Rodent" not "Ronan".

I think a two year anachronism is pretty unnoticeable to anyone but the most die hard guitar collectors out there. The 1955 model can't be that much different can it?

@Cancel Ok She says: "Rodent we are ready for you plan." There is a "T" sound at the end of the first word. Rodent and Ronan could be easily confused for each other if said fast enough.

Or did they? Maybe another time traveler from the future brought back a guitar?

And also - Chuck Berry didn't hear the intro riff that Marty played - he just heard the usual 12-bar blues progression that was already common in his milieu, so how did he compose Johnny B. Goode with that jump intro?

It's like Marvel hired him to explain the actually in their work! I'm starting to think that this guy works for the MCU!😅

@nikhil nair You spelled "spelled" wrong.

@nikhil nair You’re wrong about so many things. 1. I’m Canadian. 2. I knew you spelled “spelt” correctly. Okay, so you’re only wrong about two things, and the second thing is probably because I forgot to put a smiley after my stupid comment. Don’t think that I’m going to apologize for any of this. Just because I’m one of those polite Canadians doesn’t mean I’m sorry … so … yeah, sorry about that. cheers

‘Black Widow’ serial killers are typically women known for killings multiple husbands. Deadly ‘marital’ arts

@nikhil nair Hah! We totally would! … er, shit … sorry about that. Recursive Apologetic Impulse Disorder is a real thing in Moosejaw, Saskatoon, several locations in Hamilton, and pretty much anywhere else in Canada that sounds so much better than it could ever (EVER) actually be - uh huh, I'm looking at you, Winnipeg! Get rid of the polar bears, you're farther south than Calgary!

@nikhil nair "people like you" … whoa! People like me? You're the one intentionally using non-American spelling, grammar, and diction all while simultaneously assuming your audience is American unless otherwise further clarified. In my neighbourhood of Canada (heh!) that sort of thing would be generally considered a "dick move"! Shit, I should have started with that argument. You can't be Indian AND Asian, if that were possible I'm pretty sure the UN would just be a cricket league by now, all highway off ramps would have drift lanes, and white people like me would be your slaves!! (honestly, if this happens, someone should really re-use that #timesup hashtag) That wasn't my white guilt talking, it was the white guilt of the rest of you simply incriminating me with the group. 😂 Sometimes I think life would be easier if I was actually as dumb as some of the shit I say online. 😈

lol.....sure fam....lol

wow, what nunchuks.

BadS we say that cause we’re married lol 🤫

BadS 😂

simp

Captain America: **nods in agreement**

There’s a lot of things going on that you don’t understand.

Neil doesn't remember cap has missed before and it didn't hit nothing...but still came back. Spiderman>NDT

for reals! it just makes you think how much does marvel studious actually think about the way they do stuff

@@spicydubu none at all anymore, apparently. They just want to have everything, not caring at all if it makes sense in accordance with the other movies

38:21 this one was my favorite lol

The rare times it happens. Chuck belongs in the 90’s. His part painful to watch

Then you open Twitter...and cry.

And there we go, Neil has increased happiness without use of the Infinity Gauntlet. 😁

Then Neil's wish to make the world a happier place is working.

This a video recording of a radio show that has commercials. RU-vid has an algorithm that recognizes points in a video where ads can be placed so when he stops the conversation flow for where there was a commercial on the radio show the algorithm places an ad. It's probably based on the same algorithm when CDs were still fairly new. Back then you could record an entire concert as one mp3 file and most CD burning programs could break it up into tracks based on a lull in the music or a beat change. The problem with ads in most videos is the video doesn't have a big enough lull for the algorithm to find so it uses the length of the video. The flaw in the old algorithm was if a song had a beat break the program inserted a track change that you would have manually remove before you burned the cd and it's probably the same issue that you run across on RU-vid where a thirty minute video has fifteen ads because it had fifteen lulls and no one manually remove the extra ads

😂

@@DTG_LOCKETT youtubers can manually place add breaks on there videos. Its pretty likely that whoever manages this channel for them just put in the time to place the adds there.

Its very weird that I came across this comment while strolling through the comments when I was exactly at this point in the video 😳

Plus cap goes back and undos all the timelines they created

Sahil Dalvi yeah, just cause they say that’s how time travel would work that doesn’t mean in theory it would work, by going back theyve already made branches, when he goes back again there are some more branches, As soon as they interacted with that world, it already got branched off and also they stated that going back in time doesn’t change what has already happened, so as he’s went back in time to fix the problems, that still doesn’t fix the branched off time lines as ‘fixing’ something cannot work as they’ve stated that going back does not change the future, so as them futures are already in affect as they’ve changed it, they cannot be undone The future where Loki escapes with the stone, the future where Tony talks with his dad in the past, every action would change something, it would just create more branches. Unless they don’t want to use the butterfly effect to which with regards to time travel is impossible as simply going back changes things straight away, even from the hulk smashing the taxi up, that would then branch things off as things change

@@craigo5030 exactly the very presence in other time leads to another branch.

PARADOX EXACTLY... I don’t understand why nobody realises that! If I were to go back in time to a younger me, take my game console and have a conversation with my dad, that’s created a future where I have no games console and my dad has talked to someone when he would originally be doing something else, even if it’s by the second, it still counts... Now if a second later it got put back there would still be a future where it branched off that I didn’t have one and my dad spoke to me

@@craigo5030 Even after breaking so many rules avengers still lost by 1 to 14,000,605 😂

The scientist there said the name of the element had like 13 syllables so to make it easy they just call it unubtanium ao technically the word is in the movie but it is nit the ifficial name of the element

Yea but his girl would have done all different things that impact the other captain

@@mailmarca Wrong. The girl did exactly what she did in the previous movies. Keep in mind, during the previous movies, there was already a second Captain America living with her. As the former director of shield, she would have known the importance of, and been perfectly capable of making sure the younger Cap didn't know about his older counterpart. Hell, they probably had many discussions about what to do if/when younger Cap shows up.

@@KurNorock exactly what i was about to say. love Neil, but he really needs Endgame explained to him before he talks about plot elements that might be confusing to him and to other casual MCU fans.

🤯

I think going back in time let him do all the things the comic book version of him did, from WW2 to the day that his younger version was defrosted, and then he either retires, or helps Young Cap until he's ready to meet up with Falcon to pass on the shield.

that’s true otherwise it would have only taken 73 min to reach Earth from Saturn traveling at the speed of light

@@Hikingalliance although, it doesn't really matter since it looked like Benatar couldn't do space jumps (as was shown later in the movie, when the gang jumped to Gardens-planet, or before in any vol. of Gurdians)

And yet again that reminds us about Quill's stupidity. They ran out of fuel, how's that possible? What was he thinking about routing for Titan? That they could fill up tanks there?

Andrew Vanelli you have to love Quill though he is funny Af

@@andrewvanelli5317 it's possible that the ship was damaged in the battle and they lost their fuel reserves. Or maybe it's fairly common/easy to refuel on a planet like Titan (perhaps by siphoning fuel from another spacecraft) - we simply don't know the answer as to whether Quill knowingly went to Titan without enough fuel to leave.

also marvel stating that she could've killed thanos by herself

Nah

Very nice, well spotted. Now explain why every habited planet in the galaxy has the same gravity? So why did the gravity generator seem to be set to exactly 1G of Earth gravity? Guess there is a Goldilocks zone for habitable planets of mass vs rotational speed vs atmosphere density vs other solar system bodies and their gravity. And we on earth thought it was all about liquid water and atmospheric oxygen.

Exactly, Martial Arts is not on my mind when it comes to black widow/Scarlett Johansson Unless you consider the things that I wanna do to her Martial Arts😂😂😂

I just heard that part and paused to look for the comment that said this...didn't have to look for very long and that makes me happy

Martial arts, yyyeeesss, that is absolutely why I like watching Black widow, really, no other reason AT ALL, definitely. Just the great.... martial arts, yup, that's it.

I came to the comments specifically to post this comment LOL! I never realized she even did martial arts till just now...

😏😏

True

NewGodFlow89 exactly they take bits of story’s of comics to movie

This is what happens when Neil tries to do this

NewGodFlow89 facts I’m cringing at them get all the basics wrong😂

Right?! Ragnarok was more of the planet hulk story line, but yeah. Also a bit of Gorr the God Butcher.

They did not anything of the Worldbreaker Hulk story. They just had him as a Gladiator. The WBH story was MUCH more than a few minutes of Thor Ragnarok.

Together they form the chrisforce capable of swooning any lady

The chris stones

They will make a CCU (Chris Cinematic Universe)

Well, all three are funny,handsome and charming

@@worsethanyouthink And more than a few men.

This is nice too.

No...well it would work out if you're willing to become a single minded robot along with everyone else.

No it’s not Titan in the solar system.

Yeah titan had moons. So it was a planet. Thanos threw one at Tony

Backstory is that when Thanos was created in comics - his planet was originally the moon off of Saturn, but that has long since been retconned. This Titan is just a planet, which may or may not even be in this galaxy.

Correct. Titan is a planet elsewhere in the universe.. Not Titan the moon ..

It should have been named "tightened".😅

I could think of some Martial Arts I'd like to try with black widow

Plus she is HOT

Doctor, NDT has a Phd in Astrophysics

I thought so as well. Lol

Actually according to the MCU What Doctor Strange mastered is the quick rewriting of psysical equations.

@@toniodotcom and according to Thor and asgardians magic is just another form of science that humans have yet to understand

Point is that marvel for the most part tries to incorporate more science than D.C lol. Simply compare the justice league to the avengers character's and you'll see that with the exception of batman the D.C universe has so many things so far from reality it makes marvel heroes look pretty grounded when it comes to powers.

@@h3llboyyy407 I think that's cause most of marvel is based on our actual world alot of the names in marvel are stuff that actually exist but don't do as crazy stuff

"That thing (the shield) doesn't obey the laws physics at all." Spider-Man (in Captain America : Civil War)

One of them isn't a scientist, but what's your point?

@@Anti-HyperLink wow, you didn't get the point? *facepalm

I mean they're talking about how accurate the fictional facts are so yes, it's kind of important that they have those facts straight before comparing them to real life.

Yeah in a different episode they said how interact with past events would become your future and your future can't change your past and he did that it created an alternate timeline where what happened in the past happened differently

Lol

lmao yeah

He's correct, but he went about it wrong.

you can be an idiot and right at the same time tho. for example, you are right that today is raining and you are an idiot because you don't bring an umbrella knowing it is raining today.

It's the methods, not the result, that ended up as the problem. Thanos' end goal would have positive effects, but at the cost of exterminating half of all life. :)

Thanos is right, but Thanos' plan is idiotic. Look at how fast our population is growing, how effective will removing half really be in the long run?

Bless your heart! It pisses me off to have him talked down at all the time like this, as if almost perfect hand-eye coordination is a common talent to have.

Do you also called very talented gymnasts or the top people in their sport knowledgable in geometry or physics? Hell no, its called talent. Its all instinct. Computation is automatic, but doesnt mean they know geometrical equations.

@@missionpupa k

Thank you! People make fun of him as if shooting a bow and arrow is a piece of cake, but it takes years of training and slapping water to master it. And most of the people who make fun of him are probably fat-asses who can barely move let alone use a bow.

Simple geometry.

Who knows there might be a movie on it!! 😀

I want to see an entire movie of Cap returning all the stones, including the Soul Stone...which would also make me curious how this would effect all the various timelines (to include the potential revival of Gamora and Black Widow). The lists and possibilities are endless.

William Randolph there is no coming back from the Soul Stone, technically that’s the only stone he doesn’t have to return. I think it just regenerates every time someone dies.

Really don't know what they would've done though just have a convo?

One of the 'LOKI' episodes is supposed to follow cap shortly during his mission to return the stones.

James Osborne exactly

And he erased his mind with Lokis staff.. Everyone seems to forget that part

Exactly! 2012 Cap had no idea it was himself. Also, when he goes back to live with Peggy Carter, Frozen Cap is still frozen and becomes unfrozen in 2011, and as long as Future Cap never gets involves and tells everyone he's back (which he wouldn't), then nothing changes the Past Cap from saving people like he originally did.

David Meade then past cap should've been near that bench where future cap sits if he did not alter that timeline, and he would be with falcon and winter soldier too

But he still interact with himself, that's the point. He doesn't matter Cap believed it was an impostor using his identity, they freaking interact

The comics Titan was the moon of Saturn actually, the films made it it's own planet not related to Saturn.

@@alexanderthegreat5649 I didn't get that.

At the time that Jim Starling wrote the original stories, the idea that Saturn's moon was so Earth-like was very much part of popular culture. All the nerds were very excited about this, so Starling capitalized on that. Remember these guys weren't trying to build a legacy at the time. They were just trying to write stories that would be impelling to their audiences at the time.

It is not Saturns moon, just because it`s called Titan, it doesn`t mean it`s our Titan.

@@NorB0316 it is in the comics but as for the MCU you're right...but to be fair there's no reason why it couldn't be because titan is desolate probably far before humanity had the technology to know that

Same😀😀

It would have no effect on genetic variation. North- and South-America was settled with not more than 12 families creating all the native tribes. Something N.d.G.T. told in a talkshow with Colbert.

@@Teskal africans asians and Vikings was in the Americas

@@janiecekeys4765 I wrote about what happend before the europeans found this continent. The first humans who arrived america.

@@Teskal i as well, smh

And gets it wrong!

@@DapoOlasiyan and get everything completely wrong

@@DapoOlasiyan lmfao I was thinking the same thing

I thought his power was "one shot" or "bull's eyes". No math involved. He just sees his target then he hits it, baring any obstacle that happens after his shot. He just likes the bow for the added challenge. With a sniper gun or even a plasma gun, he would just be too deadly.

@@DaxSassIt's well established in the MCU that he doesn't have "powers" so he has to do the math to nail a shot

@@vendettarules1 yes, that is his power, the crazy physic math that goes thru his mind to get the one perfect shot. He can calculate path, vector, velocity, acceleration, environmental obstacle and other stuffs in the blink of an eye. He just cant talk science or boil water for a living.

@@DaxSassI agree he does seem to have that ability passively and not something he actively is trying to do. i think the bow allows for a style and different ammo types like hacker attachements, mini bombs, and the like. Bullets are probably too boring and limiting for him. in civil war when he says "played 18, shot 18 just can't seem to miss" seems to me that implies it is not something he actively does through insane mental math skills but just something he is gifted with and comes naturally. He can't seem to miss anything unless interrupted mid shooting process. So I feel clint does actually have powers in a sense.

Simple geometry

But ragnarok hulk is 'meant' to be world breaker

@@reedog1016 It is an allusion to worldbreaker hulk in ragnarok yes, but they were talking about endgame hulk as worldbreaker hulk and endgame hulk is professor hulk.

@@DarkCurow no they werent.. they said that they pulled from the story of world breaker Hulk in Ragnarok and in the comics soon after the series of world breaker Hulk comes the professor Hulk series and all he meant was in Ragnarok they portrayed story of world breaker Hulk and an endgame they followed up with Professor Hulk just similar to the comics

@@3rdfloor751 Except he didnt even mention Professor Hulk.

@@DarkCurow he said smart Hulk and for those that are into the comics knows that he meant Professor Hulk. Actually he said brulk because he didn't know the correct term

Its the infinity gauntlet we are talking about,,, the most powerful instrument in the entire universe and multiverse. There wouldn't be any difficulty in it doing anything, whether creating or destroying. Ibelieve it would all be the same.
