Why Thor ISN’T Immune to Electricity 

well, no subtitles....................

I will see you there KH! --MK

Nothing is immune to all things,as God of thunder he is immune to a point (as they say energy is energy) thus thor is not immune also as many of his opponents are not electrical based, he himself has no opportunity to condition himself to all forms but he could if he so chose to.

Your mistakes are forgiven Kyle you are the dopest. And I didn't know you did it all at 1 go so more props to you for that man. Your channel is the only RU-vid channel I consistently watch.

Q: Since lighting is basically "just plasma", could that also answer how Thor could survive the blast from "a dying star"? Also, are you wearing a contact lens about 9:00 in?

The other Thor is a big boy now.

He must be super confident, not worrying about somebody taking advantage of his weaknesses.

@Andrew Gray tho its not inconceivable that its a toxin thats hurting thor, I was assuming the video was right. With that said, ur right electricity itself is not really a weakness. But assuming the video is right, it also points out that he can be hurt by it given the right conditions. If a super villian were to take advantage of this, given the amounts of electricity thor can normally channel, and kill Thor with his own powers. It maybe possible that a relatively weak display of his own powers maybe enough to kill him in that instance. Tho that last part is just speculation on my part.

Wait,!!!!,!!!!!!! Kyle's real name is THOR! Mind blown

@Andrew Gray interesting idea it'd be worth finding out wether that's the case or not. FYI I never noticed the skin thing till you pointed it out good eye

Why does this sound familiar but I can't find anything on the internet

My jokes aren't funny I *see* what you did there.

I'm is not sure if that would be the case in the MCU because in the first avenger's movie when thor strikes Iron man his suit gets powered up and I'm not sure how magic would power his suit instead of lightning/electricity.

I’m pretty sure the movies are different from the comics in that aspect, I mean in the first Thor movie he mentioned that what humans called magic is just very advanced science, he specifically said they’re one and the same

So magic is....cold?

Saimeren He isn't talking about comics Thor, he especifically mentioned MCU Thor.

Mythologicaly speaking that makes sense because thor's father is literally the god of magic

Except, ethics aren't universal. So I will try it. :)

That's like, just your opinion, man.

His muscles and nervous system would still need to receive and send electrical signal to contract and move. This is the system that the taser disk would take advantage of in order to cause him to go into convulsions. So even if his body has a natural means of creating/absorbing/directing an electrical pulse. If you bypass that system and induce random electrical currents directly into his muscles and nervous system his body would still convulse and spasm as it interferes with the natural process of moving.

@Andrew Gray My guess is that the skin affect is different as compared to Lightning than a taser. So the magnitude of the frequencies as a result from the skin effect would have been what incapacitated Thor.

Andrew Gray I don’t think it demands that he has a innate ability to control electricity through his entire body. It just requires the body to direct the electricity he “summons” through channels paths of least resistance away from muscles and nerves. Like wearing a grounded chainmail next to a Tesla coil. You can have electricity arcing all over your body. But the path of less resistance of the chainmail prevents it from ever entering your body. (Also I’m not assuming his nervous system works like a humans but like every known from of life with a nervous system. And I’m only making that assumption because I’ve never heard of a theoretical non-electric charge means a complex nervous system could work. But I do give you props on challenging assumptions when it comes to fictional aliens. 😺)

Also, we have seen him negatively react to electricity before in Age of Ultron. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UunztBkRnsk.html But it could be argued that it’s not him being shocked but his power being released uncontrollably because of the vision.… 🤷‍♂️ I guess the biggest challenge is to explain why the taser disks works, but lightning doesn’t affect him with Science and not having to say “a wizard did it.”

NinjaBearFilms It's nerve toxin

Wait so he just has two lamps in his eyes? Because of the lighting

Amusingly Wikipedia says that Thor is the god of "thunder," "lighting," "storms," "strength" and.... "oak trees" Mythology is weird like that. - Also the protection of mankind and... fertility, of which I'm sure many lady fans of Chris Hemsworth will concur.

God of Hammers

Thunder is just the sound of Lightning, . . . . So as the god of thunder Thor would be able to create thunder at will and the only way to do that would be to be able to create lightning at will

I didn't watch the whole video, but it was a chemical reaction to generate the stun, supposedly. So that's it.

You mean criminally seductive god of thunder?😂

Was a neutron Star

@@sungod9797 That doesn't make it better...

im just wondering how this video corrects itself to Thors lightning filled eyes in Thor 3 .. the EYEs are the largest nerves in the nervous system .. LOL

A neutron star doesn’t produce fusion, therefore it’s temperature is bound to be much lower than that of a main sequence star like the Sun. So Thor only experienced a small fraction of the power of an active star.

@@darthvader0219 that's not true at all. Thor was hit by the FORCE of the star. Aka the mass x acceleration of the star. A neutron star rotates between 1.4ms & 30s. The sun takes 24 days to rotate... In second form. (576 hours * 3600 s/hr) 2.0x10^6s almost 1000000 times slower. So absolutely false statement. Without even accounting for mass. Which let's say 1.5 solar masses. Yes fusion is a lot of quantum packets of energy. Which travels near light speed as almost massless photons of gamma. But this is near light speed high density matter. It's like being hit with a keychain laser vs being hit by a falling space ship.

And thank you for asking an interesting question. I enjoyed watching it.

@@georgebourner3819 Confirmed: Kyle Hill is Sentry?

Venancio Gomani There are several flaws with the suggestions you make in your comment. *one could argue that there's many references in the MCU films and the comics where it appears as though Thor inherently generates lightning that seems to be flowing outwardly from him and around him/to any suitable conductor whenever streaks do leave his body.* 1. The MCU and the comics are different canons, and those canons furthermore contradict each other and are incompatible. Since the video specifically is referencing the MCU canon, nothing that happens in the comics is relevant to whether it makes sense, logically, for MCU Thor to not be immune to electricity. 2. People can *try* to argue that Thor inherently generates electricity flowing outwards from him, but they would be completely wrong if they did this, as it presents ignorance both of how lightning actually works as well as ignorance of the MCU Thor canon. A) Lightning does *not* flow from one place to another. It is not a fluid of any sort. In fact, lightning is defined as an electrostatic phenomenon, not an electrodynamic one. Nothing is actually moving, other than electrons. Lightning is simply what happens when the electrostatic potential difference between two objects insulated by the air is sufficiently high for a nonzero amount of electrons to flow from the power source. As such, INHERENTLY, any formation of lightning that Thor creates comes from the surface of whatever material the power source is made of. If the power source is himself, then the electric potential difference is between his skin and the skin of his target. That is simply it. There is no electricity he could generate from inside his skin because that is simply not how potential differences occur. And this gets me to the second point. B) Thor himself is NOT the power source. Despite the moniker of "God of Thunder," which more accurately SHOULD be "God of Lightning," we know canonically, from the very first Thor movie in the MCU, that he is not the source his own godliness, and therefore, not the source of his powers. In reality, we know Odin and Mjolnir are the source of those powers, and we know this because Odin has been shown to freely take Thor's powers away at will. And we know Mjolnir has to choose whether Thor is worthy at any time to wield him or not, and furthermore, most of the battles Thor wins invove Mjolnir. Thor's main strength is his ability to wear Mjolnir, without which we know he is weaker, almost by his own admission. Thor is more accurately described as the wielder of lightning, not the source of it. When he uses the powers, it's very clear he is telling the source of lighting to abide by his will. He isn't actually directly controlling it, though. He wouldn't classify as an electricity bender, if you catch my drift. He wills lightning, he doesn't control it. So, ultimately, what his power amounts to is to manipulate the polarity of objects to create electric potentials. More specifically, to create electric potentials between Mjolnir and the target. Yes, this is completely different in the comics, since he states in the comics that his power is not actual lighting, but literal magic powder just taking the form of lightning. But, let me repeat: that's irrelevant. This discussion is about MCU Thor, for whom it intuitively makes less sense to be shockable than comics Thor. *it seems unlikely that his manipulation of lightning strings from his body's natural tolerability to a skin effect* Not at all. In fact, it's the opposite: it's impossible for you to be hit by lightning without the skin effect coming into play. It just is. And again, there is no such a thing as "generating lightining from within himself." That only happens in the comics, because as I said, in the comics, there isn't actually any lightning involved, it's canonically just generic magic. In the MCU, which is what this discussion is about, this is never observed. His powers always are seen coming from Mjolnir, which form one end of the electric discharge, or from his skin, in the rarer occasions. *that would at least suggest that if Thor's body did follow a similar cell/tissue configuration* The video literally shows the opposite, making this conditional point moot. Sure, the consequences would contradict the movies if he had the body of an eel. He doesn't. The video made that very clear. Eels work very differently than lightning, which is why they probably wouldn't be immune to it. That's precisely what is being explained in the video. *One of those could be the ability to manipulate magnetic fields around him.* Which we know he doesn't have. If he did, he would be able to do MUCH more than just channel currents between objects. Besides, I hate to break it to you, but while you can generate small currents by manipulating magnetic fields, it is basically impossible to generate any form of lightning by manipulating magnetic fields. And as we established earlier, the canon makes pretty damn clear he only wields the lightning, he doesn't generate it. Unless you are suggesting that he would be able to make those fields through Mjolnir, but that's an unprovable assumption. And an explanation that relies on very nontrivial assumptions that would involve lore that wasn't given on the supernatural aren't valid. Sure, you could call it a hypothesis, but the goal of the video is not to provide a hypothesis about Thor's hidden powers, the video simply explains scientifically why being able to withstand lighting doesn't make you immune to subdermal high currents that go through conductirs. So it's a bad suggestion through and through. You either would have to change the laws of physics fundamentally, or you would have to observe a new variety of powers that Thor is very clearly implied to not have. *perhaps a secondary power maybe* One which is never observed in the series and is also not really implied to exist as there are not even hints? Yeah, sorry, no. Again, explanations are built from facts, not unprovable speculation. We can talk about superheroes having secondary powers which may make sense, but at the end of the day, those are just speculative. Thor has not been shown to have any secondary powers other than having superhuman physical attributes, which doesn't cover what we are talking about. *few of the superpowers we see superheroes have should come as a "single-bundle."* Keyword: *should.* Yes, I agree with you. But just because they shouldn't does not mean they don't in the actual canons. And that's the thing. *or how living underwater like Aquaman would require your body's muscles and and cells and ORGANS to be configured a certain way.* First of all, muscles are organs, so I don't understand why you group them separately. Second of all, that's not a secondary superpower, that's just the cause of the superpower itself to begin with.

I was confused because to me when two things are called differently it's because they are meant to be different different and so their names show it and to the contrary, when two things share the same name they are meant to be similar according to the definition of this name. But apparently here scientists created the word "bioelectricity" where they should have used the word "electricity" 😅 It's like when different scientists work on different subjects and name totally different things/concepts by the same word, it's quite confusing 😅

BlazeStorm, spinning Aluminum disks, oddly enough.

The material used to repel the train is a superconductor, which is a diamagnetic material, which means that the atoms inside of the material align their "spin" (their magnetic field) in the opposite direction of another magnetic field. The reason why they align antiparallel to a magnetic field, I don't know yet (a bunch of quantum mechanics). Here's the Wikipedia page about it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamagnetism

it works on the same principles that have yet to yield a true hooverboard. the ones at current(haha) need a ground(double pun) that can be induced by an electrical source (i.e.) the board. Then it creates an atmosphere between the board and the ground similar to lighting strikes, from here (because the ground is positive charged) the board inverts the protons (+) closer to the ground , and in the magnetism realm opposites attract and similar repels. So by changing back and forth protons and electrons closer to the ground you get magnetic lift and tethering, which is important because the lift only provides the magnetic repulsion until it drifts out of the effected area causing the board(or train) to adhere to gravitational forces once again.

@@katieblade7083 I see, thank you. Also love the puns. I'd call you a Supernerd if I were Kyle

and like i said we dont have a true hooverboard yet so it is likely the trains and the "track" are negatively charged (electrons) for their lift. And if you have a cylinder the skin effect can suspend your train in one directed path. Elon Musk is working on a tube people transport system with this same principal.
