0.5% the speed of light is like less than crawling speed for The Flash. EDIT: Flash can not only punch you yesterday, he can punch you back in time so hard that you are written out of existence.
Sure, The Flash can simply run back in time and prevent anyone from being born, not limited to punching, he has even rebooted the entire DC multiverse just by saving his mother.
+Itz Irish I'm not sure but I'm assuming based on the fact that space and time are connected, cause Einstein, given enough force you could knock some out of space and time effectively removing them from existence
This is literally the best episode you ever made, great humor, amazing visuals, nice easy equations you can fallow, and interesting topic! Keep this up please!
I have a chemistry joke 2 chemists walk into a bar One asks for H20 The second asks for H20 too The first one drinks and is fine The second drinks and dies
well he probably wouldn't be able to because he only has super speed not super strength. if you gave flash superman strength he could. or he could be holding a model rocket.
@@petelee2477 actually if the flash runs fast enough as he approaches the rocket he cam pick it up as he runs, if he gains enough monetum he can carry alot of mass
Well, he's usually running on the ground, and that wouldn't move. He's also usually running MUCH slower that he's capable of. However, this IS something he could technically do.
I guess technically yes. However the speed force is kinda a cheat code type of thing that stops that from happening. Basically the speed force bends the laws of physics to the Flash's needs.
+Sam Ringle doesn't the speed force remove friction from being a force that affects him in general, which is why he doesn't burn up clothing he wears that isn't his special suit, and would also stop him from kicking things up unless he kicked directly into them? that's how I remember it working anyway. that also explains why he doesn't melt the people he runs past with the air he'd be heating up
Sam Ringle Yeah I think the speed force also lessens the effects of speed in the real universe, that's why his suit does feel friction but not nearly the amount it should, or why when's he's running near light speed we can still see him as a blur even though in reality he'd be basically invisible. I also think Barry has some sort of subconscious control over it because he can still create tornadoes and infinite mass punches.
Question: what if you faced 2 lightsaber handles right next to each other and turned them on at the same time towards each other what would happen would they phase through each other?
You've incorrectly applied this equation. In the scenario you describe its just conservation of momentum. The equation you reference is for continuous exhaust velocity but the Flash is just a single body!
But isn't the equation derived from COM? And I'm basically assuming that he is being expelled from the rocket under a short time period at tremendous acceleration. Am I wrong? -- KH
It assumes continuous expulsion of material at that velocity, so really you'd need multiple Flashes for it to be correct. The reality is its just a much simpler problem.
Interesting. There's no way they're exactly the same (no way of introducing a logarithm with discrete bodies) but in this case, probably because of the huge mass of the rocket, I guess they come out similar.
Thinking about it, the similarity comes from the Taylor expansion of the logarithm for small values of the mass ratio. Doesn't change the fact that strictly that equation shouldn't have been applied in this situation, but at least your conclusions aren't drastically altered. Keep it up!
You should do an episode on Assassination Classroom. I have a few ideas. A) Is production of antimatter possible? Is it possible by organic means? B) What does antimatter do to a -person- giant yellow octopus man? C) What does going at Mach 20 with no protection do to a -person- giant yellow octopus man? Is it possible for Koro-Sensei to go that fast? D) What would blowing up 75% of the moon do to the Earth? E) Is Ritsu possible? F) Why is Koro-Sensei yellow? G) How does nobody know that _something_ is going on with E-Class? H) Why isn't there F-Class? I) What would killing someone do to the average Junior High student?
Can you kill the Hulk by blowing his head into smithereens? Hulk gains his powers from anger, anger is felt in the brain, shut out the brain and he has no power.
From what I remember, Mass Relays create a corridor where mass is inconsequential, they don't so much reduce your mass as remove the effect of Mass on the Universe, in that corridor. And then Railgun you down it way faster than the speed of light. Plus, they're anchored in space with the awfully generic Quantum fields, so they don't get any of that "equal and opposite" stuff nudging them out of place every time they move something. So a Railgun *could* do it, if you had a load of Element Zero, fancy mystery field generators, and a quantum locked railgun.
Well, theoretically yes... practically(in any atmosphere) no. You see, the smallest frictions would make that photons pushing force negligible (and that's an understatement) and so what it would do would (most probably) be a same negligible amount of temperature increase. Now a photon cannon (say a line-ac) could have some effect that would slowly but gradually increase the speed of any mass... but that is somewhere where that mass (or more like the volume of that mass) would be in void, with no friction to decrease the speed. Keep in mind that "in space" and "in void" are two separate things as in space quite a lot of pockets of particles are found (that is if we compare it to the outside of any galaxy). So, to sum thingys up, outside of any galaxy is the space where a linear accelerator based engine (similar to what you can find in any oncology institute)... there it would have the highest efficiency, not close to planets and the like... Cheers!
Yes, and it is a means that is seriously being considered for interstellar probes. Look up "Breakthrough Starshot." The idea is to blast a laser at a really light and reflective probe, pushing it forward. What makes it awesome is that the probe doesn't have to carry its own fuel, so it isn't subject to "the tyranny of the rocket equation." (another cool thing to look up) ... In fact, that's what really sucks about this video. He uses the rocket equation wrong and doesn't even explain the single most important thing about it.
JoeJoeTater well yeah, i guess you mean the mass of the rocket is actually a delta(mass) as the mass is gradually reducing as the fuel is being used... well, as i pointed in a previous post here, he gets more the one fact wrong... but the thing is that at least he gets the general public interested in science&tech! that is indeed cool! being math&fiz accurate is generally found tiring and boring by most of us humans :(
In game it's an element called element zero, implying it has no protons, which gives off the effect of lowering the mass to achieve faster than light speeds. In other words it's probably complete bs based on fictional material, like unobtanium, and transformium, and phlebotinum. Note that the same material allows telekinesis in Mass Effect. I am interested in learning about any actual scientific concept that would lower mass like that though.
maybe they can change the mass of objects to negative or maybe imaginary mass and throw them through the mass-free corridor of space-time depicted in the game at a great many times the speed of light (as the ships are already FTL capables)
yeah, disregarding the fi part of that sci-fi game, I guess the question would be, how could we, in the real world, make a mass relay work, I wouldn't go with gravitons cause I think gravity could end up being an illusion, or at least gravitons seem to be a little far fetched compared to the other theoretical bosons.
The Flash is able to travel faster than the speed of light by tapping directly into the Speed Force. He can even use this to go back in time. It's basically an Omega level power. Yes, he is quite clearly "fast enough" to do anything. HOWEVER! The amount of force caused by 88 kg instantaneously accelerating to 0.05 c would be roughly equivalent to a nuke or twenty. That rocket isn't going anywhere, at least, not in one piece. Not even if you made a blast plate out of proto-adamantium. That rocket is going to crumple like paper. Instantaneous acceleration is _violent_. You're basically talking about potentially infinite G forces. The fact that this rocket has to be pushed only once means all of that energy is going to be kicked into the rocket within mere moments, and a quick calculation of how many G's this thing would be pulling at lift off is going to be hundreds of thousands of G's. So yeah... he's fast enough. No, the rocket won't make it to space, intact. There is nothing strong enough you could build the rocket out of, and even if there is something that strong, anyone inside the craft would be turned into a puddle on the deck before they were even 10 feet off the ground.
could you do a video on how the flash changes time just by running and how the speed force works scientifically speaking by this im asking how is it possible for the speed force to move forward and backward in time amd why would saving one singular person change everything
So he could propel a rocket into orbit instantly and kill the crew and the rocket in the process due to high G-Forces. Because he would ran that speed in a very short amount of time.
Estimated acceleration is about 3623837 mph per second or 164,719.86g's... Yeah, pretty much dead.. :D (1,620km/s = 3,623,837miles/h - transformed to miles to use the "G's" calculator I've found).
Does anyone realize that since he's writing on a board in front of him that Kyle is writing backwards every week? you must have great skill to do that legibly
It's strange, as much as the math and science is astounding in its complexity, i find myself being oddly mesmerized by how much Kyle is transforming into Thor.
Question. 1) This is because, as Einstein's formula E = mc2 explains, energy can get converted to matter, and vice versa. Extraordinarily high-energy gamma rays, such as ones that black holes can generate, can yield pairs of electrons and their antimatter counterparts, known as positrons. 2) Could the reason why the Hulk gets stronger the angrier he gets is because his blood, which is infused with gamma radiation, is pumped quicker so the kinetic energy results in more strength or his energy is converted into mass? 3) If the above theory is true could this result in the idea that if the Hulk gets angry enough he could be creating so much energy that he could travel at speeds near that of electromagnetic radiation ( 299,792,458 m/s ) ?
I have one for you: A double-jump, that is making a second jump in mid-air, is a pretty standard thing in a lot of video games. Smash Bros, Castlevania (a lot of platform games really), the Scout in TF2 are a few examples. Is there any way such a maneuver would be possible, assuming that neither jet boosters or magic were in play? Or, to put it another way, what forces would be at play to allow someone to essentially propel themselves upward in mid-air from the apex of a jump they performed from the ground?
"Tell that to your... forums." I will, I will. Also: totally never thought about the doppler effect with the Flash. I now want him to turn blue every time he runs toward someone. Would he change color when he's running away? Maybe he'd turn infrared and become invisible?
Some problems with this: 1) Accelerating a rocket to that speed essentially instantaneously would shatter it like an ice sculpture shot with an RPG. 2) Poor Barry would impact the ground below the rocket at 0.5%c and most certainly die. 3) The air molecules hitting his body at that speed would fuse producing a massive explosion like a hydrogen bomb, killing everyone else withing a dozen miles of the launch site, too. 4) The force of Barry hitting the ground immediately afterwards would cause an explosion so grand it would make the impact that killed the dinosaurs look like a wet fart; nothing on Earth would survive.
a note relating to the answer during the credits: From what I Recall from Mass effect's Mass relay and FTL systems, the way they work is by booth reducing the weight of the Ship being Sent into FTL AND by creating a SUPER Strong Gravity well in front of the ship that's locked at a specific distance from the ship to make it "Fall" Forwards, this process Warps space/time in a way similar to the concept of a "Standard" Warp Drive (which I think the Real Theory for is called the Alcubierre Drive) except powered by Gravity PULLING the ship forward rather than Negative Gravity PUSHING it's bubble of space forward. and since Light is still going at the same speed relative to the ship within the bubble, the ship is "Technically" not going faster than the speed of light, and thus dodge the annoying effects of Time Dilation! (that way you don't arrive at your destination 100 years after you left having only aged a day) The Idea comes from the fact that Black holes, Being super-massive Gravity wells, "from which nothing escapes, even light" which it actually does by Bending space around itself, the light still "Going in a straight line" problem is the Space it's going in a straight line through is Curved towards the center of the Black hole, this is why Black holes can Trap even mass-less things like light... AKA, Gravity bends space/time. In short, Mass Effect's FTL Drive is the Idea of using a Super-massive Gravity well that is locked to a relative distance in front of the ship to warp the very fabric of the Universe to make the Relative distance traveled Shorter, the Relays serve as Gigantic Gravity powered Super slingshots to enhance this effect to levels that an on board Mass Effect Drive could not do on it's own, Allowing the ship to Jump across the Galaxy in a few hours or days at most! Hope I wasn't too repetitive. Would still love for you guys to do an episode on this just to see the comedic twists you could add to make it easier to explain in the future :P (Comedy and simplified comparisons make it so much easier to explain this stuff and be understood)
"Mass Effect" works in universe on the idea you can negate or inverse (having negative mass) mass on the E=MC² equation, thus lowering the energy requirement for light speed, or faster than light space travel: it ignores a whole other bunch of principle of general and special relativity though. It's an antigravity particle (The "Element Zero", or "Ezo" for short in game), which works with electric gizmos, and even the electric activity of the brain "explaining" telekinesis and stuff like that
I would love to see his ideas on a "Space Elevator". I have seen versions in different media (even in Halo) but I doubt we would ever be willing to foot the bill for this amazing idea!
Of course, the question is whether Barry could get to that speed fast enough :-) At least on the TV show, when he really needs to be so "very fast" that his speed turns into a critical plot element (is there a formula for this?), he seems to need quite some time to run in circles or something like that. So the question is -- does a rocket have enough room so Barry can actually run his speedup-circles? :-) Now, he can run through buildings or around a street corner, so corner radius seems to be mostly a non-issue. In day-to-day running -- plot-element speeds usually seem to happen in larger structures...
3:01 That ISN"T a batarang, this is a misnomer. It's actually a throwing knife since they can't return to the thrower after thrown. It's a BIG pet peeve of mine
This video gives a great example of just how astoundingly fast the speed of light is, when 1/200th of that can provide enough kinetic force for the mass of a single man to propel a rocket into space. Now take that realization, and apply it to the fact that it takes nearly 5 years for light to travel from the next-closest star in our galaxy to our own sun. Dat galaxy be fuckin' HUGE mang!
Nevermind the fact that I'm somewhat of an environmentalist, nevermind the fact that Rick and Morty is a hilarious show, nevermind the fact that I adore most things that DC publish; the three latest episodes of Because Science have been three of the best videos yet. Because Science has become my favourite thing to watch on UA-cam and Kyle Hill has managed to find a way to be simultaneously educational, engaging, and seeimingly genuine. Sorry for the essay, but if you were the Flash you would have read it by now...because sc-- I mean speedforce ;-)
Saying as though the flash can run so fast that he can travel through time, I think I can safely say that he can run fast enough to do just about anything...
Another Flash-related question: Why doesn't Flash blow things up when accelerating to ludicrous speeds? Every time I think of the Flash in terms of science, I'm brought back to xkcd's "relativistic baseball", which posits that air molecules wouldn't be able to displace around the object, which would cause the air particles to fuse and release what's essentially a thermonuclear blast that would decimate whatever city he happens to be in. So I guess the bite-sized audio clip version of the question: Why doesn't The Flash destroy everything?
I have a theory: perhaps The flash's electricity trails is just a way to slow down the kinetic energy and temperatures of surrounding molecules. Read about laser cooling, fast moving molecules are being decelerated down by a huge a ammount of upcoming photons. The photons are later being absorbed by the flash as a form of electricity which explain the flash iconic blue / red electric effects.
So basically, we need Barry to make as much force as the cannon in that old sci-fi book about going to the moon. Since he has to apply all the force in an extremely short period of time.
On top of that, the Flash is so fast he can apparently win a race against a being that has the ability to instantly teleport somewhere. The flash is literally faster than INSTANT teleportation.
Kyle, Question! Can Superman enter the Speed force / tap into the Speed force? ... In the comic, Injustice: Gods Among Us #23-24, ( Which is cannon ) Superman stops a full scale planetary invasion within seconds... Before he does this, he not only catches up to the flash, but stops and talks to him, which appears to have time slowed down / at a stand still while they talk. At the end of the comic, the Flash stands in awe and shock on what just happened. ... In the comics / animated shows / movies + games, Superman can still keep up with him, if not, “ out move “ him. Especially in a 1 v 1 fight between them.
I like that quote xD
"The flash is so fast that he could punch you yesterday"
"Human flesh is bad rocket fuel."
Not if you use blood magic.
Reporting you to the authorities. -- KH

Won't you be disappointed?... I AM THE AUTHORITIES! Muhahahaha!
+Nerdist can the flash move things in slow motion with out killing them and can how fast is superman run or fly
How can fhlas caths A boulet
Snaray Max he moves in bullet time
"is the Flash fast enou-"
yes
0.5% the speed of light is like less than crawling speed for The Flash.
EDIT: Flash can not only punch you yesterday, he can punch you back in time so hard that you are written out of existence.
XD
Can we get an explanation because my Sports Management degree doesn't really explain how that works😂
Sure, The Flash can simply run back in time and prevent anyone from being born, not limited to punching, he has even rebooted the entire DC multiverse just by saving his mother.
+Itz Irish I'm not sure but I'm assuming based on the fact that space and time are connected, cause Einstein, given enough force you could knock some out of space and time effectively removing them from existence
Flash can punch people into the Speed Force and erase them from the timeline, that's what it takes to defeat characters like Zoom and Superboy Prime.
This is literally the best episode you ever made, great humor, amazing visuals, nice easy equations you can fallow, and interesting topic! Keep this up please!
Easy for you maybe, you fucking Einstein.
ikr! ;)
Thank you so much! -- KH

So next week episode will be about plasma?
I have a chemistry joke
2 chemists walk into a bar

Lol haha
can't handle a good hydrogen peroxide on the rocks? what a pussy...
"the flash is so fast he could punch you yesterday" im using this excuse if i pass out drunk.
Why couldn't Flash just carry the rocket and run the necessary speed, and then let go of the rocket? Nice and simple
Because he's no strong enough to lift a rocket superman on the other hand probably could
+pete lee the guy who created the Infinite Mass Punch can't carry a rocket? Come on
well he probably wouldn't be able to because he only has super speed not super strength. if you gave flash superman strength he could. or he could be holding a model rocket.
@@petelee2477 actually if the flash runs fast enough as he approaches the rocket he cam pick it up as he runs, if he gains enough monetum he can carry alot of mass
the flash is fast enough to do anything he wants to do.
He's so fast that he can out speed an instant teleportation.
He can even go to heaven by running into a bullet
+RageStorm777 only quick silver could do that
+yaso 777 ouch
infact he is so fast he has already done it
Then, while running wouldn't barry propell anything he steps on/ pushes off, backwards at scary fatal speeds?
Depends on how fast he's moving, if he's moving faster than the energy can displace through the object than nah he'd be like a ghost
Well, he's usually running on the ground, and that wouldn't move. He's also usually running MUCH slower that he's capable of. However, this IS something he could technically do.

I demand an entire episode be done in "sassy nerd" voice.
Thinking about it. -- KH
The flash travels at like 50,000,000,000,000, many many 0's later 'C'. He can travel MULTIVERSES in under a second.
Unfortunately nothing is left of the rocket with all the energy going to launch it in a very short period of time.
its funny, because one of them just blew up...
Yeah, unfortunate timing on this one. Thanks Elon. -- KH
You should do an episode on Assassination Classroom.
I have a few ideas.
A) Is production of antimatter possible? Is it possible by organic means?

Do photons push objects? And if yes, would be using them as propulsion efficent? I wanna know!
Yes they do. Look up Solar Sail. Also: Photon Rocket.
Look at photonic molecules, it's special, you'll see.
Well, theoretically yes... practically(in any atmosphere) no. You see, the smallest frictions would make that photons pushing force negligible (and that's an understatement) and so what it would do would (most probably) be a same negligible amount of temperature increase.

OK smart guy, tell us how do you propose mass effect relays work. does it have to do with the higgs field?
Nah, perhaps something with (yet theoretical) gravitons.
In game it's an element called element zero, implying it has no protons, which gives off the effect of lowering the mass to achieve faster than light speeds. In other words it's probably complete bs based on fictional material, like unobtanium, and transformium, and phlebotinum. Note that the same material allows telekinesis in Mass Effect.

Hey Kyle, have you ever read xkcd What If? It's a fascinating "answer ridiculous questions with hard science" blog that I think you'd love.
Estimated acceleration is about
3623837 mph per second or 164,719.86g's... Yeah, pretty much dead.. :D
(1,620km/s = 3,623,837miles/h - transformed to miles to use the "G's" calculator I've found).
''Drop that object''
Pat: oops I drop my pants
Does anyone realize that since he's writing on a board in front of him that Kyle is writing backwards every week? you must have great skill to do that legibly
They flip the video, he doesn't write backwards.
Wao, hahaahahaha good deduction Sherlock
+Bunny he does they actually mentioned it before. He used to be pretty bad at it.
+Larry McKeithan
The video is clearly flipped when he is writing words, numbers, and/or equations.
Wait, didn't he said that he has a guy who does all the animations and shits like text ,drawing etc?
"Tell that to your... forums." -- best line yet.
That voice at the end was everything! So funny! 😂
he wasn't asking if the function was the same, he was asking If the two devices could be used in the same capacity.
One thing I've always wondered. Could the kool-aid man actually break through a wall without breaking into a million pieces?
I lost it at the whole batarang and Bruce killing people that was hilarious lol keep it up Kyle this show is awesome.
I haven't laughed so hard in a long time, when u said "ya I think he can run that fast with that weird face/voice lmfao
" Batman, Im not the flash.
How many teens have you killed to find him?" 😂😂😂
ive honestly always wondered what i could possibly do with my ability to write backwards... you have given me new purpose
Both Wally and Bart have passed the escape velocity of a black hole
It's strange, as much as the math and science is astounding in its complexity, i find myself being oddly mesmerized by how much Kyle is transforming into Thor.
"How many teens did you kill to figure this out" I was dying when he said that
"Tell that to your f..orums!" That was a good one :D:D:D
I think the best way a speedster could launch something into space would be a ramp type launch, rather than a traditional vertical rocket launch.
The Flash is so fast, he can literally break the universe. He literally did that. He broke the whole thing.
Question. 1) This is because, as Einstein's formula E = mc2 explains, energy can get converted to matter, and vice versa. Extraordinarily high-energy gamma rays, such as ones that black holes can generate, can yield pairs of electrons and their antimatter counterparts, known as positrons.
2) Could the reason why the Hulk gets stronger the angrier he gets is because his blood, which is infused with gamma radiation, is pumped quicker so the kinetic energy results in more strength or his energy is converted into mass?
3) If the above theory is true could this result in the idea that if the Hulk gets angry enough he could be creating so much energy that he could travel at speeds near that of electromagnetic radiation ( 299,792,458 m/s ) ?
I have one for you: A double-jump, that is making a second jump in mid-air, is a pretty standard thing in a lot of video games. Smash Bros, Castlevania (a lot of platform games really), the Scout in TF2 are a few examples. Is there any way such a maneuver would be possible, assuming that neither jet boosters or magic were in play? Or, to put it another way, what forces would be at play to allow someone to essentially propel themselves upward in mid-air from the apex of a jump they performed from the ground?
I'd love to see a tv show or movie represent the flash running so fast his suit changes color !
Flash once evacuated a city of millions AFTER a nuke went off but BEFORE the blast wave hit.
"the flash is so fast that he can punch you yesterday"
the whole "he can punch you yesterday" hurts my brain
"Tell that to your... forums." I will, I will.
Also: totally never thought about the doppler effect with the Flash. I now want him to turn blue every time he runs toward someone. Would he change color when he's running away? Maybe he'd turn infrared and become invisible?
Great timing. I think SpaceX need that extra rocket. Barry is going to have to wait
You would seriously be the best dude to get stoned with.. I love these lol. Great work, man.
Hahaha "Yeah, I'm pretty sure he could launch, a, rocket."
Some problems with this: 1) Accelerating a rocket to that speed essentially instantaneously would shatter it like an ice sculpture shot with an RPG. 2) Poor Barry would impact the ground below the rocket at 0.5%c and most certainly die. 3) The air molecules hitting his body at that speed would fuse producing a massive explosion like a hydrogen bomb, killing everyone else withing a dozen miles of the launch site, too. 4) The force of Barry hitting the ground immediately afterwards would cause an explosion so grand it would make the impact that killed the dinosaurs look like a wet fart; nothing on Earth would survive.
a note relating to the answer during the credits: From what I Recall from Mass effect's Mass relay and FTL systems, the way they work is by booth reducing the weight of the Ship being Sent into FTL AND by creating a SUPER Strong Gravity well in front of the ship that's locked at a specific distance from the ship to make it "Fall" Forwards, this process Warps space/time in a way similar to the concept of a "Standard" Warp Drive (which I think the Real Theory for is called the Alcubierre Drive) except powered by Gravity PULLING the ship forward rather than Negative Gravity PUSHING it's bubble of space forward. and since Light is still going at the same speed relative to the ship within the bubble, the ship is "Technically" not going faster than the speed of light, and thus dodge the annoying effects of Time Dilation! (that way you don't arrive at your destination 100 years after you left having only aged a day)
The Idea comes from the fact that Black holes, Being super-massive Gravity wells, "from which nothing escapes, even light" which it actually does by Bending space around itself, the light still "Going in a straight line" problem is the Space it's going in a straight line through is Curved towards the center of the Black hole, this is why Black holes can Trap even mass-less things like light... AKA, Gravity bends space/time.
In short, Mass Effect's FTL Drive is the Idea of using a Super-massive Gravity well that is locked to a relative distance in front of the ship to warp the very fabric of the Universe to make the Relative distance traveled Shorter, the Relays serve as Gigantic Gravity powered Super slingshots to enhance this effect to levels that an on board Mass Effect Drive could not do on it's own, Allowing the ship to Jump across the Galaxy in a few hours or days at most!
Hope I wasn't too repetitive. Would still love for you guys to do an episode on this just to see the comedic twists you could add to make it easier to explain in the future :P (Comedy and simplified comparisons make it so much easier to explain this stuff and be understood)
"Is the Flash fast enough to " yes the answer's yes. He's a comic book character and that's his entire concept.
"Mass Effect" works in universe on the idea you can negate or inverse (having negative mass) mass on the E=MC² equation, thus lowering the energy requirement for light speed, or faster than light space travel: it ignores a whole other bunch of principle of general and special relativity though.
It's an antigravity particle (The "Element Zero", or "Ezo" for short in game), which works with electric gizmos, and even the electric activity of the brain "explaining" telekinesis and stuff like that
I would love to see his ideas on a "Space Elevator". I have seen versions in different media (even in Halo) but I doubt we would ever be willing to foot the bill for this amazing idea!
Of course, the question is whether Barry could get to that speed fast enough :-) At least on the TV show, when he really needs to be so "very fast" that his speed turns into a critical plot element (is there a formula for this?), he seems to need quite some time to run in circles or something like that. So the question is -- does a rocket have enough room so Barry can actually run his speedup-circles? :-)
Now, he can run through buildings or around a street corner, so corner radius seems to be mostly a non-issue. In day-to-day running -- plot-element speeds usually seem to happen in larger structures...
4:02 Miranda Sings impression
The flash is so fast, when he punches your mom in the stomach you stopped being born in the past...
3:01 That ISN"T a batarang, this is a misnomer. It's actually a throwing knife since they can't return to the thrower after thrown. It's a BIG pet peeve of mine
I lost it at 4:01. I don't know why that was so funny, but it was. :)
SUPRISE LIGHT SABER! Oh wait wrong video...
Kyle runs so fast his shirt pocket forgets where it should be
i love Kyle's part on this channel lol. its so perfect
This video gives a great example of just how astoundingly fast the speed of light is, when 1/200th of that can provide enough kinetic force for the mass of a single man to propel a rocket into space. Now take that realization, and apply it to the fact that it takes nearly 5 years for light to travel from the next-closest star in our galaxy to our own sun.
Dat galaxy be fuckin' HUGE mang!
The nerdiness of this episode makes me (a high school physics teacher) so happy :)
Any question that has the phrase "Is the Flash fast enough..." it's answer is always yes.
Nevermind the fact that I'm somewhat of an environmentalist, nevermind the fact that Rick and Morty is a hilarious show, nevermind the fact that I adore most things that DC publish; the three latest episodes of Because Science have been three of the best videos yet. Because Science has become my favourite thing to watch on UA-cam and Kyle Hill has managed to find a way to be simultaneously educational, engaging, and seeimingly genuine. Sorry for the essay, but if you were the Flash you would have read it by now...because sc-- I mean speedforce ;-)
*seemingly
Saying as though the flash can run so fast that he can travel through time, I think I can safely say that he can run fast enough to do just about anything...
Isn't Wally better since he can impart kinetic energy into other objects? 1) Run as fast as he can. 2) Transfer Ke into rocket.
your new editor is badass!!! seriously he or she knows their job very much so
Hell yeah Charles is awesome. -- KH
Another Flash-related question: Why doesn't Flash blow things up when accelerating to ludicrous speeds? Every time I think of the Flash in terms of science, I'm brought back to xkcd's "relativistic baseball", which posits that air molecules wouldn't be able to displace around the object, which would cause the air particles to fuse and release what's essentially a thermonuclear blast that would decimate whatever city he happens to be in. So I guess the bite-sized audio clip version of the question: Why doesn't The Flash destroy everything?
The answer is "Because Speedforce."
XD
Speed Force logic. I always just like to imagine the more speed force he uses, the more inbetween dimensions he is
yup 100% speed force his speed would bring buildings down from the air displacement alone.
I have a theory: perhaps The flash's electricity trails is just a way to slow down the kinetic energy and temperatures of surrounding molecules. Read about laser cooling, fast moving molecules are being decelerated down by a huge a ammount of upcoming photons. The photons are later being absorbed by the flash as a form of electricity which explain the flash iconic blue / red electric effects.
So cool! Love these vids!! Keep up the good work Nerdist and Kyle
So basically, we need Barry to make as much force as the cannon in that old sci-fi book about going to the moon. Since he has to apply all the force in an extremely short period of time.
"With rocket science, duh!" oh how I love you sciencey Joe Dirt
If only every teacher could make learning this awesome. My kids would love school then. They love watching Because Science with me.
On top of that, the Flash is so fast he can apparently win a race against a being that has the ability to instantly teleport somewhere. The flash is literally faster than INSTANT teleportation.
Kyle, Question!
Can Superman enter the Speed force / tap into the Speed force?
...
In the comic, Injustice: Gods Among Us #23-24, ( Which is cannon ) Superman stops a full scale planetary invasion within seconds... Before he does this, he not only catches up to the flash, but stops and talks to him, which appears to have time slowed down / at a stand still while they talk.
At the end of the comic, the Flash stands in awe and shock on what just happened.
...
In the comics / animated shows / movies + games, Superman can still keep up with him, if not, “ out move “ him. Especially in a 1 v 1 fight between them.
Don't forget that the flash outran teleportation so yes he could by that logic alone.
I love the call back to the article on the Flash's suit color. That was my first encounter to Because Science and Kyle Hill lol
You remember! Awesome! One of my favorite pieces. -- KH
One of mine too! The little details that it never even cross my mind are the greatest. By the way, thanks for all your hard work! You are awesome!
You dropped your pen. I dropped my phone to test gravity
"Pick up an object"
*picks up open chocolate bar*
"Now drop that object."
