I'm generally uneducated in this field but, I've had a theory for a long time that if you were to change the angle of your body during the fall that you could possibly gain height and "Miraculously" soften your fall. Do you think that this would be possible without something like a wing suit?
You know Kyle, I came here for a possibly reduction of my anxiety of skydiving with my cousin and thought you could help. It didn't. Very interesting listen though xD

Got to ask, not because I'm evil or anything, but can you do an episode on giant cannons like the ones from halo or ace combat.(could we make them irl and how, what effects would our atmosphere have on their range and trajectories, how we would aim a giant cannon and how far could we fire a shell on earth or could we launch a shell into space).

Hi, Kyle! Great show! This is my first time commenting. Just want to correct that falling cats don't spread their legs to increase their surface area and increase their drag. They do it to turn their bodies around as part of their righting reflex so they land on their paws. Because of the conservation of angular momentum, the cats' spread out legs allow it to rotate its body just like the way an ice skater spins faster or slower if its arms are tucked in or spread out. But don't drop your cats to experiment on this! 🐱 Thanks and more power to your show!
@@Kartoffelkamm went real dark, real fast as an adendum, with it raining cats and dogs at the same time, the falling dogs impacts would probably also crush the surviving cats unless they somehow managed to get out of the open and into cover immediately after they landed.
No, the dogs wouldn’t explode... they’d make wet slapping and cracking noises similar to the burger rain in Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs. Because science!
I remember this being on a previous episode of Because Science... If Antman maintained his full-size human mass while shrunk to the size of an ant, his terminal velocity would be something like Mach 77!

You have to do a bit of grinding to get your collection to a decent size through free-play, but even if you do choose to invest a bit of cash to get you started, you get way more bang for your buck than paper. Paper magic is fun of course (I enjoy the social aspect of it), but Arena is much more budget friendly if your wallet needs a breather.
Well if you had the initial velocity of a large person, you’d slowly slow down to the proper terminal velocity of the smaller you; however, if you didn’t have enough fall time, it would be the equivalent of being yeeted towards the ground.
@@kieronmckay4276 technically, Ant-Man's mass is very inconsistent when he shrinks or grows, one of his preferred tactics is to punch with the force of a 180lb man while less than an inch tall even though that should mean that he should cut an ant in half by siting on it.
Yo Kyle! Love the channel! While it is true that ants could theoretically survive any height, Ant-Man could not. Canonically, Ant-Man retains his initial mass, making him fall even faster than ants due to the reduced surface area to catch drag.
Hey Kyle love the show keep at it. I have something you forgot: The ground you land on. When you fall you really don't want to be landing on the pavement and concrete (duh), but also water is really bad. Water doesn't compress (just as concrete) so water is out. If there is no other option than water, feet first. Better is a forest because trees catch you but don't stop you immediately. However trees can skewer you like saruman in return of the king. Snow is also good and soft, but best is a swamp. Swamps have lots of vines and stuff that catch you so go for a swamp. then the horse falling on to you: I used the Wikipedia variables for the larger riding horses. I used roughly the same variables for the Cd (0.5) and the A (1,1) (the horse is about 173 cm in height). For the mass I took 550 and for g 9,81 m/s/s. plugging in the numbers we get ((2x550x9,81)/(0,5x1,255x1,1))^0,5 = 125,03386 m/s that is about 5 m/s faster than a bullet at muzzle velocity (where the bullet leaves the barrel) but than a horse... on your head soooo unless you really are thor (or a super villain with some forcefield) you would be dead.
More like "for my calculator to do right now!" No way am I doing that by hand. The arithmetic wouldn't be so bad, but no way am I trying to find sqrt(2880) without a calculator/computer.
Kyle a correction for you: don't encourage people to have Tendencies towards animal cruelty... watch how you phrase things for people to try experiments with their animals at home.
@@BrekkaJones24 That's the clever bit! In the Poetic or Elder Edda (the main source for all things Norse), Loki is *Odin's* adoptive brother. Thor's also ginger, traditionally, and can pick up Mjolnir only because he has the requisite magic gloves, or he'd explode. Of course I can't criticise Marvel on changing things, since mythology is always changing and Norse folklore is really, really weird. If you're going by the Prose or Younger Edda, Thor's uncles instead include Paris and Hector of Troy, who took about ten years to fall. Yeah, as in, the *Trojan War.* The Greek-y one. The Prose Edda says some weird things and tries to fanfic everything anyone in Europe ever said into the same continuity, so frankly I commend Marvel on their restraint. A bonus point for Marvel is that he's totally a blondie in the Prose Edda. This is slightly strange, given that he's also half-Turkish with the rest being a mix of Ethiopian and Greek Titan, but he probably gets the Rapunzel hair from his granny, Eos, Titan Of The Dawn. Technically speaking, that makes his other uncle the Morning Star, Hesperus, also known as Lucifer (yay more falling, even if it's a totally different dude). I... hope some of that was interesting, if you've made it to the bottom! If not, sorry. I tend to get real excited with mythological pedantry because simultaneously all of it is valid and none of it is valid. :P

And you missed the song "Free Falling".
You're already touching the sky, you don't need to fly for that
@@silverstar4505 It's a song lyric from a song by the same name. I can't remember who originally sang the song, since all I'm getting is R Kelly and I seem to remember the song being much older than that.
By the way: Erev Tov.
@@jackielinde7568 it's the Reading Rainbow song

"If you are the right size, life is like a video game, and you're immune to fall damage"
Most 3D games: "Am I a joke to you?"
Titanfall, apex legends: *AM I A JOKE TO YOU?*
Minecraft: Well, you gotta be in creative mode.
I'm kind of a grammar... stickler. I have been campaigning against the misuse of less vs fewer for some years. Just want to put it out there that your use of less was correct and that warmed my cockles. Love the show BTW

Fun fact: a TI-84 had about 5 times the memory of the computer on the Apollo 11 mission
I had one for school..... never got used to using it.
@@semperfi-1918 You had an Apollo 11 mission computer?
...wait never mind that was way easier to use than a Ti-84.
One of the best hosts haha. So entertaining
You are so right, IT feels good to come to the right answer aaand i have been realy to rusty to re form your equasion on my own
"and I'm not just talking about your twitter timeline"
I feel personally attacked

Glad he mentioned the peregrine at the end. Coz the best way to survive a fall is to be able to fly
@BecauseScience
Thanks to you I watched this while doing my physics terminal velocity HW and got the right answers helped a ton
So the Force kills you?
han: "thats not how the force works!"
Hey Kyle, I just wanted to say that you've gotten me into Magic and my wallet hates you for it.
You should try D&D. Less things to buy, and you can share them... but they cost more. Trust me, I'm a Dungeon Master. (Yeah, my wallet hates me any time I go NEAR a game store. You just can't have too many dice.)
@@jackielinde7568 i've played D&D once. Ihave a friend whos very into it. He just lives pretty far away but I'll see if i can find some people closer to play with thanks.
@@lifeofentropy
There's plenty of virtual tabletops out there, too. See if your friend knows anyone who wants to play, and you can get on one of those. Not as good as in-person, but it gets the job done.
@@lifeofentropy Hey, there's always Discord, Roll20.net, or Skype to reconnect with those far away friends. ;) But yeah, any day you get to role play is a good day.
Try out Arena. It's free to play Magic and you can do it from home in your pajamas. You have to do a bit of grinding to get your collection to a decent size through free-play, but even if you do choose to invest a bit of cash to get you started, you get way more bang for your buck than paper.
Paper magic is fun of course (I enjoy the social aspect of it), but Arena is much more budget friendly if your wallet needs a breather.

Nice vid Kyle :)

"If you are the right size, life is like a video game, and you're immune to fall damage"
SoulBornes: Why hello there!
Me: **falling**
Also me: *an intellectual* “hol’ up, lemme just shrink”
*Survives because I watched Because Science*
*accidentally shrinks without changing mass*
Well if you had the initial velocity of a large person, you’d slowly slow down to the proper terminal velocity of the smaller you; however, if you didn’t have enough fall time, it would be the equivalent of being yeeted towards the ground.
Ant-man's unknown superpower!
@@kieronmckay4276 technically, Ant-Man's mass is very inconsistent when he shrinks or grows, one of his preferred tactics is to punch with the force of a 180lb man while less than an inch tall even though that should mean that he should cut an ant in half by siting on it.
Yo Kyle! Love the channel!
While it is true that ants could theoretically survive any height, Ant-Man could not.
Canonically, Ant-Man retains his initial mass, making him fall even faster than ants
due to the reduced surface area to catch drag.
I love this channel. Binge watched just about every episode so far. Also, I got the quiz right 😂 and I didn't write it down
Gravity is OP please nerf.
Also love the show.
This was the most Bill Nye-esk video yet, great job Kyle!!
Thank you! I actually said that to myself when filming -- something about my cadence... Interesting that you noticed too! -- kH
How is it that even “falling”, this guy’s eyebrows continue to dance like it’s nobodies business?!
Very good explanation :)
"If you were to fall from the edge of what you humans call space...but for the asgardians like us, it's just our backyard!!"
"You humans" kyle is an alien with amazing hair confirmed.
Clearly an Asgardian.
@@Rob_Thorsman Have you ever seen an Asgardian?
No, he's clearly a reptilian! They are more of the right shape and have camo abilities.
Hey Kyle love the show keep at it. I have something you forgot: The ground you land on. When you fall you really don't want to be landing on the pavement and concrete (duh), but also water is really bad. Water doesn't compress (just as concrete) so water is out. If there is no other option than water, feet first.
Better is a forest because trees catch you but don't stop you immediately. However trees can skewer you like saruman in return of the king. Snow is also good and soft, but best is a swamp. Swamps have lots of vines and stuff that catch you so go for a swamp.
then the horse falling on to you:
I used the Wikipedia variables for the larger riding horses. I used roughly the same variables for the Cd (0.5) and the A (1,1) (the horse is about 173 cm in height). For the mass I took 550 and for g 9,81 m/s/s.
plugging in the numbers we get ((2x550x9,81)/(0,5x1,255x1,1))^0,5 = 125,03386 m/s
that is about 5 m/s faster than a bullet at muzzle velocity (where the bullet leaves the barrel)
but than a horse... on your head soooo unless you really are thor (or a super villain with some forcefield) you would be dead.
This was a GREAT video. Physics n Maths can be so much fun if they are taught right.
".... And for you to do.... Right now."
Me: I'm sorry _what_
Come again ni🅿🅿a?
More like "for my calculator to do right now!" No way am I doing that by hand. The arithmetic wouldn't be so bad, but no way am I trying to find sqrt(2880) without a calculator/computer.
I got it right first time 👨🎓
@@griffvth I wish I had your brains my dear UA-cam Commenter
Yes because I didn't guess.😉
2:34 "If you were to fall from the edge of what *you humans* call space"
Hold on a minute there
Kyle a correction for you: don't encourage people to have Tendencies towards animal cruelty... watch how you phrase things for people to try experiments with their animals at home.
@@matthewnichols4843 Don't worry there's no need to throw cats out the window, they do it to themselves
he's too smart to be human.
@@kaiburns4257 he's Asgardian duh...
@@kaiburns4257 True
was watching this vid while falling off a cliff thanks it helped
you're a master of your craft.
"I have been falling for 30 minutes!" ~Kyle's uncle
Okay that's WAY cleverer than I was expecting.
You mean brother? :p
@@BrekkaJones24 That's the clever bit! In the Poetic or Elder Edda (the main source for all things Norse), Loki is *Odin's* adoptive brother. Thor's also ginger, traditionally, and can pick up Mjolnir only because he has the requisite magic gloves, or he'd explode.
Of course I can't criticise Marvel on changing things, since mythology is always changing and Norse folklore is really, really weird. If you're going by the Prose or Younger Edda, Thor's uncles instead include Paris and Hector of Troy, who took about ten years to fall. Yeah, as in, the *Trojan War.* The Greek-y one. The Prose Edda says some weird things and tries to fanfic everything anyone in Europe ever said into the same continuity, so frankly I commend Marvel on their restraint.
A bonus point for Marvel is that he's totally a blondie in the Prose Edda. This is slightly strange, given that he's also half-Turkish with the rest being a mix of Ethiopian and Greek Titan, but he probably gets the Rapunzel hair from his granny, Eos, Titan Of The Dawn. Technically speaking, that makes his other uncle the Morning Star, Hesperus, also known as Lucifer (yay more falling, even if it's a totally different dude).
I... hope some of that was interesting, if you've made it to the bottom! If not, sorry. I tend to get real excited with mythological pedantry because simultaneously all of it is valid and none of it is valid. :P
The editing in this is great
I love this guy, kyle
Great video
