Tom's Zero G Flailing 

There's an American company that offers 15 parabolas in a 727 for $5,000 a flight, and Novespace actually offers flights for 6000€ a ticket. Might work with a sponsor.

A gofundme?

Park Bench, IN ZERO GRAVITY

Only on condition that Tom films it, and is strapped down all the time.

and also can provide the anti-nausea medification

Either him or Matt. Tom as a spaceflight participant or Matt becoming an astronaut.

"Hi, I'm Matt." "And I'm Tom." "And we're on the ISS on a bench that probably cost way too much to bring up."

Famus Jamus No it would be: “And we don’t need a bench, because we are on the International Space Station.”

@@ragnkja honestly just the thought of them sitting on a bench in Zero-G is really funny to me

"I'm in the orbit of saturn"

I think it worked out perfectly regardless

I wonder if he would've edited in an explosion into this video if he had the time. I also wonder how hard it would be to do so.

It's also the giant gasoline explosion in the background that would make it badass.

@@MetaBloxer I pictured it with an explosion and it really doesn't match his wide grin 😁

Block IOO I hear the withdrawal symptoms are heavy... :)

Pook365 Aren't you funny. xD

damn bro, you kinda right

Well Tom has always hovered around dork criticality, so if he sometimes goes super-critical, its to be expected.

And 0! == 1.

ZipplyZane (0! == 1) == 1

But (0! == 1) !== 1

ZipplyZane 0! == 1 is true true == 1 (0! == 1) == 1 is true

If you assume a higher priority to factorial than to the comparison, you get even more of it, I think he was a step ahead of you: (0! == 1)! == 1 (true)! == 1 1! == 1 is true ;) he didn't mean != and poor Matt... I'd also love to make a zero g flight, your "lucky bastard" is totally right :D

13:12 basically the same reaction as the jet experiencing G thing

Brian Garrow getting an anvil to space would be so expensive, but also worth it

Recommend using a machine to hammer the steel. Part of the reason hammers are so effective is because you add energy to them on the upstroke and downstroke, but the energy only converts to kinetic on the downstroke. Ugh, and the tiny shards of metal flying everywhere. You'd absolutely need to do it in a glove box to prevent metallic dust and tiny shards getting everywhere.

They have a furnace on the ISS as well.

It's all fun and games until someone drops an anvil on their foot at more than one G.

Forged in Fire would be a very different show :D

No Wednesday for you!

“Due to a scheduling error, Wednesday has been cancelled.”

@@andreabutitsruth Serious Welcome to Nightvale vibes there, my friend!

Honestly if anyone has the ability to cancel Wednesday it would probably be Tom

wednesday addams got held back

I completely agree with number 2.

Vivienne Gucwa all of this yes

I'm honestly not surprised there was no drop feeling. if you slam the breaks on in a car it feels awful but if you just take the foot off the accelerator its fine.

That slow-mo sequence should convince shampoo companies to hire Tom to show how bouncy one's hair can be after using their product! X)

Hi, can you tell me how you got verified? Thank you! :)

Jimmy Hendrix I imagine it's because they are such good friends. If your mate gets to do something cool you'll be happy for them but also super jealous

1:10 has to be the saddest "cool" ive heard tho

CheshireTomcat68 yeah apparently I couldn’t pronounce that on that day! -Matt

Julian Gamboa then why do you feel close to the same thing when you jump off a cliff into a lake? Would that be 0g as well?

I'm not sure I buy that, because I've had that feeling on particularly fast lifts before -- that's only about 0.9G or 0.8G -- and on log flumes that are definitely going slower than freefall. That said, I don't have a better explanation! -- Tom

Vertigo. Nuff said.

THANK YOU!

Is it possibly also in part due to the fact that (presumably) the airflow around you remains mostly static on the zero G flight, and in a coaster you generally have some turbulent gusts swirling and streaming past you, adding to the whole monkey-brain reaction of "this is how I die"? Though I doubt that explanation has more than a teeny fragment of truth to it, as you mentioned lifts doing it too, and those are enclosed. (I get that feeling too! Some lifts are absolutely awful, stairs are better.) Perhaps it's part of the very well-researched and controlled parabolic trajectory (I presume the exact path has been tweaked to near-perfection over the years) providing a constant and mostly smooth transition to and from freefall, where instead of a bile-sloshing jolt, you're treated to a gentle increase in 'weightlessness'.

I do feel the same thing, and I'm not him either!

Eh, it seemed like the right thing to do...

this.

Also, it's not just 0G, but negative G which pushes you and your guts upwards

You *jerk*

yukimaru I agree!

You can say that, but it wasn’t a de havilland comet though…

No, but did you also feel a strange mix of relief and disappointment when you finally got it right?

Alex Walters A new experience to add to the bucket list.

Or you befriend a decent pilot and they can get even a small Cesna to do zero g for a little while. :)

Alex Walters ... I live in Nevada. And I had no idea this was a thing. Ehm... I think it's time for me to head to Google, and sell my speakers or something so I can afford it.

I was going to mention that, too! Good on ya!

You don't have to go to Nevada for one a zero g flight, they do them in several cities around the US and from what I see it costs about 5000 USD to get in on a set of 15 parabolas

StayFrosty yes! it's so weird

StayFrosty I know I'm 2 years late but timestamp?

@@GiGitteru 8:16

Also, that's some good video quality right there.

Wait, so other people too have those weird dreams of flying? And this feels like those dreams? Well now I REALLY wanna go.

TheEzzran i see everyone in the comments being like "ew that stomach feeling is so stupid and i hate it" and i'm glad i found someone else who actually likes that feeling

That giddy feeling of "I really, really want to do it again" from about 18:37 is what most reminded me of skydiving.

It's just a Matt Gray term.

A Grayism?

An Unintentional mispronunciation for once -Matt

A misintentional unpronunciation?

It's a portmanteau of _medication_ and _edification._ If you strengthen someone using medicine, that's medification.

turning saints into the sea

But it involves 11 parabolas!

Nah, the container is too small and the acceleration is too fast.

We technically could, but they wouldn't be people anymore after the landing, or the vacuum.

I believe Matt has hugged a penguin in Dubai

John Mandryk Now that’s cool! Did Tom get to do it as well though?

Scott Sherman Judging by his reaction on Citation Needed, no.

Zeb McCorkle Okay good, that makes it a little better but Tom still managed to experience Zero-G which is better than Penguins

Scott Sherman I would say that it's probably because the channel is called "Tom Scott". Also, Matt isn't as good with a script.
