Thanks for watching, Super Nerds! *Here's a link to last week's video* if you haven't peeped it yet: ua-cam.com/video/gx3I52NiAmY/v-deo.html -- kH
Thanks for muting the mug slurps!
I'd like to see the rest of the team too :)
I have a problem, a light-side user's blade will only be hotter from a certain point of view.... From a certain point of view?!
also what if the dark blade isn't dark but is actually like a standard lightsaber only it's releasing x and and gamma ray radiation, not the puny visible light. in the intense insane radiation released by The blade would cause a glow around its perimeter due to the ionization of the air around it... From a certain point of view...
Fun side note: Stars likely look white to our eyes because our eyes evolved to react to light in the visible spectrum *because* the visible spectrum is the wavelength that's most abundant specifically green light is most abundant. So the reason we can't see green stars is because of evolution even though it's because of green light that our eyes evolved to see the visible spectra in the first place.
*Thanks evolution*
and if the dark saber is like the black manta material that does not reflect the light

Hahaha pretty good -- kH
@@becausescience Kyle, you are right and you can prove it with maths.
Premise: Baseball is, essentially, ppl watching the Pitcher and Catcher playing toss n catch.
1) Good MLB hitters hit the ball well enough to get on base about 30% (0.300) of their times at bat (average is 0.248). This does not include getting walked (on base due to getting 4 "balls" pitched to them.
2) On average, 3.83 pitches are thrown to each MLB batter for each time at bat. For simplicity, call it 4 pitches to account for walks. www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2014/05/22/high-heat-stat-pitchers-per-plate-appearance/9444913/
3) Each inning has 6 outs (3/team). Each game has 9 innings. Assuming they pay through both teams in the 9th inning, there would be 4 pitches X 6 batters times 9 innings = 216 pitches at the low end of a scoreless game. With good hitters, 6 batters X 9 innings X 0.300 = 16.2 hits (average = 13.4).
4) So, in a game with good hitters and not counting warm up pitches, there is one hit for every 13.3 pitches (216/16.2) or 7.5%. With average hitters, it is one hit for every 16.1 pitches (216/13.4) or 6.2%.
Conclusion: Baseball is a game of toss and catch that is rarely interrupted by a hitter getting on base. QED
@@okbkcq dang you really worked hard for that. I hope he puts it into a super nerd thing
@@okbkcq ok, now use math to explain why soccer sucks. Not because I need a reason, but because I'd like to see your logic at work.
@@elementalist1984 to be sure, I am not a fan of soccer; but my discourse above was provoked years ago by a fellow math teacher who had claimed that baseball was the 'thinking man's sport' due to all of the statistics that you can follow.......so I gave him statistics.....I also rambled on a bit about baseball teams are successful if they win over half of their 200 ;) games every year

"Baseball sucks " 😂😂 couldn't agree more ... You're going to get some flak for this 1 😂😂
The idea of a crowd of faceless/unknowable creatures offscreen that Kyle just casually speaks too lowkey terrifies me
I think that's the point. There's nothing more terrifying than the unknown.
When you mentioned a rock that doesn't look like a rock, all I could think of is that horrible sea-creature that looks like a rock and people keep cutting it open to show you
Ok I wasn’t noticed first time, I’ll try reposting: Anything with temperature above 0 Kelvin emits radiation, but what if it’s 0K? Yeah in our universe it’s not possible (as far as we know) but maybe in Star wars universe it could? Complete stop of particle movement could have some whacky implications, it would attract the lightsabers thanks to the temperature and thus air pressure difference. The glow on the edge could come from the air molecules solidifying super fast after touching it and reflecting light. And the super coldness wouldn’t be much of a problem, if they can survive star-hot blades something below -200C shouldn’t be an issue 😂😂 BTW love the show pls notice and correct me senpai
galaxy far far away, not universe far far away
its not that they emit radiation when their temperature is above 0 kelvin, the radiation comes from they will radiate IF their temperature is higher than their enviroment. and yes, even in space. if you are in a place where the temperature is the same as the body, then you wont radiate. since you will be in equilibrium.
of course, that's easier said than done.
Well actually star wars is in our universe just in a galaxy far far away. I know my shit

Ah, Kyle, that was a brutal ending. I had my heart set up to hear some inspirational wordy words and you just drop me like that?
True villainy, I tell ya
These footnotes are just as entertaining, if not more than the actual show. I love these. Keep up the great work.
Omg, I almost fell out laughing at the Dazed & Confused/Mathew McConnahie reference joke! Classic.
I've seen a rock that isn't actually a rock. Dwayne Johnson!
That helium thing you guys did there was fantastic and an excellent answer to the question posed.
I love your channel. I’m sorry I don’t have as much time to watch ever since I got this new job
You're always pretty amusing but this was one of your funnier episodes Kyle. Loved it, thanks for being you!
Such a heartfelt outro! We need more like them!
Kyle- baseball sucks
32k people- 👍sounds about right...
30 people- 👎 but we like baseball!
At least one baseball fan liked the video anyway; he commented below in the main comment section.
I get the sneaking suspicion that Kyle recently watched Dazed and Confused again. :-D
Awe I missed it.😣😣 I was so excited. I've been watching all the reruns I've missed to catch up. I hate I missed the first live one I've would have seen in a while
Hey kyle, love the show. I have a couple of question from a "friend"
Say a theoric supervillain managed to control gravity on local points and decided that the best way to show off is creating a black saber, following your idea of a black hole blade. Assuming their own gravity manipulation allows keeping the magnetic field localized to the blade and not destroying everything around.
*Wouldn't a horizon event of the size of a lightsaber create a gravity field similar or even stronger than the planet our theoretical super villain is trying to conquer?
*Would they need to generate an equal gravity field to contain/counteract the former? (side note, by that point, better use the fields to crush the foe, right? that's two planets worth of gravity)
*Is there a way to stretch a significantly less massive horizon so circumvent the problem? (is the gravity needed to "stretch" a saber sized volume of the universe less than the one needed for a saber sized black hole?)
I know that this probably falls in the don't ask too much about this, but this friend of mine is really curious if there is a way of making a practical black hole blade that doesn't just destroys everything the moment it turned on, and actually lets him cut stuff. You know, for academic reasons.
lool my boy nate tryna get back in the show. LET HIM ON CAMERA
I bet it is a mirror just off-screen. That is how he keeps his hair on point. Love the show.
DAMN KYLE TEASING US RIGHT AT THE END. I LOVE IT
I needed to hear that!
... I literally was thinking 'I want that hoodie' and you said 'You can get this at the Nerdist store'... as casually as if it were a genuine conversation...
It was. Didn't you know? Kyle can read your thoughts, but only yours.
biohazard724 That poor man… trust me, nobody wants in my head. Lol
I'd like first to state that I absolutely adore your shows. I'm fascinated not only with your mathematics and scientific reasoning but also with the fact you are able to publicly acknowledge your mistakes in such a way that those looking for it are easily able to see you're more of a scientist than most scientists out there today. With that being said, I would like to disagree with one statement you made. I would fear the red lightsaber more than the blue lightsaber as the higher temperature of a blue lightsaber would mean a quicker cauterisation of the wound making the wound potentially more survivable. I also believe it would cut through quicker and cleaner meaning less time in contact with the flesh or Surface of your skin or tissues. Your "you" if I may. I believe a red lightsaber would probably take a few milliseconds longer and would require more force behind it to cut through the same amount of "you". I understand that a red "Plasma sword" would potentially cauterize a wound as well but I don't believe it would be as efficient as there could potentially be places or spots in your tissues, muscles, or bones that would allow for tearing or ripping when you inevitably moved. You know, because if you don't you die by the Jedi or Sith who originally placed such a grievous wound on your "you" to begin with. Keep On Keepin On! Congratulations on your success by the way. You earned it!
I need to hear it Kyle!
As a jewelry hobbyist, I'd like to share that Fordite is often referred to as "Detroit Agate" or "Motor City Agate."

Automatic thumbs up for that.
"Baseball sucks" okay Kyle that's fighting words!
Had to watch twice because I didn't pay attention to what you said as much as how you said it first time around. Funny how you couldn't put away your accent after starting out with it. I love it.
That impression is actually pretty good Kyle lol
I vote for Kyle to play him if a remake was ever done of Dazed and Confused
5:49 Ha. Take that Sith Lords!
nope, nope, nope. the color means nothing other then the color of the crystal used, it just dyes and focuses the energy. as a star wars fan I cant let kyle break the lore of that universe with the non applicable science of ours to this degree, saying "ifs" is one thing but outright declaring blue lightsabers are hotter.... no.
plus his point is shattered by green, purple, and silver lightsabers as they arent on the heat spectrum.
@@atk9989 I KNOW THAT!
With that baseball comment you cut off one whole island of of your watch numbers xD
Hey Kyle, phenomenal show. Sounds like we need an entire episode on Baseball...
Kyle you should do a video on how light colors mix and how we perceive light . Keep up the good work!
If you could find a way to block or redirect gravity, you could mold the event horizon of the black hole into the shape of a saber AND deal with the weight and attraction issues
Lmao! “I don’t know who out there needs to hear this... so I’m not gonna say it!”
If you could find a way to block or redirect gravity, you could mold the event horizon of the black hole into the shape of a saber AND deal with the weight and attraction issues. If i'm remembering correctly, the singularity of a black hole (and thus, the black hole itself) is a single infinitesimally small point. The event horizon is just the radius at which light can no longer escape. In a way, the visible portion of the black hole is just a gravitational projection being emitted by the singularity. Any object that passed through whatever you were using to stop gravity and came into contact with that event horizon would then be subjected to the black hole's gravitational attraction. This would require new physics and likely also require a lot of energy, however.
Even nerdier correction:
In both Legends and Canon there are other lightsabers that resist lightsabers.
In Canon the Praetorian’s armor resists lightsabers.
In Legends the Vong, Darth Bane, some Royal Guards, some Shadow/Dark Troopers, etc... have lightsaber proof armor.
Phrik, Beskar, and Cortosis, as far as I know, are all the metals that resist sabers, and Cortosis is by far the most interesting as it actually disrupts the blades.
In star wars legends and recently made canon due to the mandolorian beskar or mandolorian iron is almost completely lightsaber resistant

Felt like a different Kyle this video. Long day of filming? Tough week? We’ve all been there
I had a big chunk of teal fordite-like solid paint. It was from a jar of paint that hadn't been closed all the way and was left sitting in a shed for at least 10 years, maybe 20. I had to litterally peal away the hard plastic jar from it because the lid had been welded to the jar by the paint. It had these cool rings of alternating light and dark colors. Maybe it was from drying at various temperatures throughout the years until if finally finished. It had a bubble just under the surface that gave it a bulge. I eventually decided to see how far down the bubble was, so I tried hammering a nail into it... the nail bent and the tip of the nail mushroomed... it was crazy. I eventually just used a carbide drill bit... it was only about 1/16 of an inch thick, but that little dried paint dome withstood at least 100 hammer blows, most of those with a nail unbetween trying to break in. Too bad I lost it like 5-6 years ago when I moved.
Hey Kyle please do a Gundam themed video.
That'd be cool. The physics of moving objects that long, the giant laser swords, the fuel requirements, the movements, the control dynamics... Alot of issues to cover.
I'm pretty sure he's commented on the gundams cockpit sound feedback mechanics (because of no sound in a vacuum) as well as minovsky particles already but I could be wrong
@@salixalba6536 no he only did the no sound in space one. But nothing Gundam specific.
@@barrybend7189 when he was doing the faster than light speed scissor thing he talked about how long a material can be and when you put input to one in that it takes a significant amount of time for the information to get to the other and I think that would come into effect with a giant Gundam robot spaceship thing... completely has no point but I was walking through the store and I saw a model for a Gundam that had a giant robot horse thing which I have no idea but that is just ridiculous but it might be faster than flying your Gundam itself I don't know
@@matthewnichols4843 was that the Master Gundam and his horse from G Fighter by any chance.

That whole thing could be subjective, as you can't speak for everyone regarding how much "grammar nazis" are appreciated. Though I do agree, it is pointless to try correcting grammar online. Unless someone who doesn't speak English as a first language could actually benefit from it.
@Vivi2372 I didn’t mean to be toxic or a grammar nazi. It actually helps a lot of people (I learned most of my english from watching tv shows in english and by being corrected on the Internet) and since this is a part of english grammar that appears very often and quite a lot of people don’t understand it, I usually correct it and hope to help maybe not the person who made the mistake, but someone else just casually reading through comments.

3:06 Matthew Mcconaughey possessed Kyle!
Kyle my friend, you need a vacation. Recharge, reload. This isn't a criticism on production quality, the shows are still awesome! Just an observation
Hey Kyle, (or Kylo if you’re going by your new super villain name!)
Long time viewer, first time subscriber. Awesome show btw - makes me feel my MS in Engineering isn’t for nothing!
Question for you:
If it’s cold outside (let’s say freezing), and I need to walk from the store to my car without a jacket (let’s say 100m). Would I lose heat faster if I walked, or if I ran to my car? (The idea being that by running, the wind should possibly cool me faster however I’d be outside for a shorter period of time).
Looking forward to your next video so I can take a stab at getting a Super Nerd plaque for my wall!
Jim
Kyle doing his weird helium voice woke up my cat and she was super distraught because it sounded like a kitten. Thank you Kyle, for scarring my cat.
It kind of blew my mind when my Physical Chemistry professor referred to gravity as a force field.
is it not a field of force. the field being the universe .
The best explanation I've heard, imo, is that gravity is a consequence of the geometry of spacetime. Don't remember where I heard it from, though, but I think they learned it from Einstein and his equations.
But I needed to hear it
Shout out to Kyle for that perfect Matthew McConaughey impression though.
Hey Kyle, irrefutably amazing show.
I know this probably won't make it onto a BS ep because I'm commenting on a Footnotes ep, but I actually had a conversation with a friend of mine a whole ago about the possibility of a black lightsaber.
He tried to argue that it was possible and I tried to get him to understand that based on how conductivity and thermal radiation work, a lightsaber could never actually be black.
I then tried to hypothesize how it COULD possibly exist, for the sake of it being in the Star Wars universe, and the only conclusion that I could come to would be that whatever the lightsaber blade is made out of must be a material that only exists in the Star Wars universe and when it is excited, or given energy, it begins to absorb more light.
I then explained how this would be technically impossible to happen because even if you were to increase whatever temperature it takes for a material to start getting off electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectrum, it would never actually give off no light at all unless it was below absolute zero somehow.
In conclusion, we realized the only way that a lightsaber could actually be black is if it was the exact OPPOSITE of a lightsaber and was somehow an Absolute Zero Sword, or a CryoSaber (Coined by friend)
I’m glad you guys considered the anti-matter dark saber.
What if the Darksaber is a blade made of stop-time? Solid static time.
...wut?
Haha your voice that was a cross between G.W. Bush and Bill Clinton cracked me up
Hey Kyle, love the show! Quick correction on your statement regarding lightsaber colors being related to their temperature. While that may be true if they existed in our universe, in the Star Wars universe however, they get their color from the crystal used in the creation of the hilt.
Hey Kyle, love the show. Just wanted to point out that in Star Wars lore, the color of the beam of a lightsaber is reflected in the crystal that used to focus the sabre, that is almost invariably how the color of the beam is chosen.
Which is why almost all sith blades, which widely use Synthetic crystals, are red.
8:32- 8:37 i snorted and almost pee'd myself laughing
Could you make an ELECTROMAGNETIC Gravity field?!
I could be wrong, but I don't think those two forces are interrelated.
Kyle, you would crush at "Um.. actually" by College Humor. I'm sure this isn't the first time you've heard this, but I would love to see it.
Also, Boba's helmet isn't made of Beskar, if it was it wouldn't have a dent in it.
About the lightsaber cutting through boba's fett armor, there isnt any problem because Fett's armor wasn't actually a true Mandalorian Armor, it was made in the same shape, but, is was made from the metal that is used to make spaceships, which is a relatively strong material that can withstand blasters but not lightsabers. That is due to the fact that the fetts were not actually real mandalorians, therefore, they did not had access to the special metal called Beskar, that can only be found in Mandalore (the mandalorian planet) and Concordia (Mandalore's Moon).
Although, Beskar is one of (if not) the most resilient metal in the franchise, there is a few others that can be used against lightsabers. Neuranium and Phrik are similar in reslience to Beskar but even more rare to find. Cortosis and ultrachrome are weak and brittle but they turn off (defuse) any lightsaber that they come in contact with, it is explained that they do something like a feedback loop that short out the sabers.
I must say (after getting a bachelor degree in physics) that the fact that there are no green stars is literally the first "literally new" thing I have ever learnt on yt

Really love your science show Mr. Hill
In comemoration for the old movie that was a pop culture phenomena 6 years ago. It's sequel is coming out in a few days. Can you do a calculation on how realistically plasible of the ice casle in the end of the fist act to keep itself standing, not crumbling down under its own weight. Considering the structual strength of ice crystal without any impurity.
I know you know what movie I'm talking about.
What if the dark-saber somehow absorbs all radiation around it to generate its heat? Including the light, which would explain the black.
Can you explain the double split experiment, plz
On the lightsaber more like a gas discharge thing, one could also suppose the lightsaber giving a lot of light from its heat, while ALSO emitting peaks of other wavelengths, thereby causing the eventual colour we see.
Though at the same time, I think that puts either a maximum on how hot a green lightsaber can be, or requires it to have a rather overwhelmingly bright green peak, or have most of the light caused by heat to be outside of the visible spectrum.
This is interesting, I might want to do some math to see what comes out of it.
No auto subtitles, please enable them
Oh, but Kyle *begins tapping desk vigorously* uHuUhHUuUhHuHuHuHUUuhHuHuuhHhhUuHuHUHUHUH!!!!!
KYLE!! I love the show and I never miss an episode!! BUT I had to stop and offer a small correction to your correct correction and a cool/scary explanation of why. I recently learned a bit about antimatter. Feel free to correct my correction of your correction if I'm incorrect but an antimatter darksaber would do much more than destroy a city upon use.
1 teaspoon of antimatter has the same energy equivalent of 10 nuclear bombs
The blade of a lightsaber is about 3feet long and 1inch in diameter
1 teaspoons volume is about 0.300781 cubic inches so
1 cubic inch is about 3.32468 teaspoons and
The volume of a lightsaber blade is 113.1 inches
If we take 3.32468 teaspoons amd multiply by the volume of a lightsaber we get about :
376.021308 total teaspoons of antimatter!!
If 1 teaspoon of antimatter is equivalent to 10 nukes and (as per the New York Post) research argues that 100 can destroy society.. an antimatter darksaber would have the one time use equivalent energy of 376,000 nukes.. enough to obliterate every last square miles worth of life on this planet and have more than 250,000 nukes worth of energy (depending on the nuke) left over, possibly going on to reach outward and destroy neighboring planets(not including fallout). Scientist have yet to study the effects of antimatter explosions on modern society but I think we can all agree that an antimatter light/darksaber can stay in a galaxy far far.. vary far far away.
Neutron start slingshots might be the ultimate form of interstellar travel if the g-forces don't turn you into a puddle.
Baseball pitch physics, come on Kyle... DOOOO EEEETT
Hey, Kyle, nice episode,
I question from my side. IF, instead of increasing the mass of the object we could manipulate the distance to the gravity source (the "radius"), wouldn't this be a solution for the problem? (creating more later of course)
Imagine a field compacting matter into a very thin layer. Would be the thinnest object ever conceived.
Such field would keep the blade format, but would allow particles outside to come close enough so they could experience strong gravity and being absorved by the blade.
The fundamental problem we run into with almost any kind of Force Field is E=MC^2. Which basically tells us that MATTER is incredibly ENERGY DENSE. (C^2, in fact). This means that one of the strongest imaginable fields of force we can put up is in fact... A nice armored hull of plated titanium/osmium alloy or something similar. That simply represents a huge amount of 'energy' placed between you and whatever is trying to kill you. That doesn't mean that we can't project an energy field with very high energy densities that approach or even exceed that of solid matter, but it does mean that the amount of energy we need to project those fields is *vast*. This is also why slug throwing weapons are unlikely to ever be fully supplanted by energy weapons, a solid slug of fast moving matter simply carries a huge amount of extremely dense energy that's very difficult for any laser or particle beam to match.
However, all is not lost for the idea of a force field. One advantage that you could potentially get with a force field vs old fashioned armor is the concept of deflection at a distance. If you can extend your 'force field' some considerable distance out from the hull of your ship - say, a hundred km or more - you might only need enough energy to slightly nudge or deflect an incoming projectile or particle beam to cause it to miss your ship altogether. Now, alas, projecting fields over significant distances has its own additional burdens in terms of energy requirements and technical issues, but it is nevertheless a lot less energy intensive to gently redirect the trajectory of a relativistic slug or energy beam than it is to try to halt it outright just a few meters from your crew compartments.
Mace Windu DIDN'T cut through Jango Fett's helmet, he cut his head off at the neck where there IS no armor
Or at least only the pressure seal material. If his suit was able to keep in breathable air in toxic environments and/or vacuum. I realized just now how little I know about Jango and Mando armor.
I am just going to add yes Besker can't be cut by lightsaber but by the time of Jango Fett Mandolorins weren't wearing Besker armour anymore . Since the secret of refining raw Besker ore had been lost and that the ore was incredibly rare even in the hey day of the Mandalorians. Jango's armour was nothing more than Durasteel which a lightsaber has no problem cutting through.
@@clothar23 Lightsabers have SOME difficulties cutting through durasteel on certain conditions. In The Phantom Menace, Qui Gon Jinn tried to cut through a durasteel blast door aboard a Trade Federation ship and was doing it, with a bit of difficulty, i.e. VERY slowly
@@dragonweyr44 Yes but that door was the same width as the lightsaber was long. That's more a matter of having to shove aside the sheer mass of metal than a difficulty in cutting said metal.
@@clothar23 So if I understand you correctly, it would've been faster to cut a series of holes through the blast doors (like in movies where people escape by shooting the floor around them, cutting the hole in the floor and dropping to the floor below like in the movie Underworld with Kate Beckinsale) than it would be to slice a hole through it?

hey Kyle I got one that is nerdy and interesting.
I saw a video comparing Bankai in the anime Bleach, one was Rukia's that creates an area around her and flash freezes it to 0K (absolute zero) and another was Yamamoto's that makes his sword burn at 15,000,000 degrees was the stated numbers but the official sources uses the wording, his body and blade are coated in the flames of the sun. so im curious what would happen if Yamamoto's bankai was active and he was suddenly in absolute 0 and both constantly tried to maintain their temp?
'Baseball Sucks' Grrr thems fighting words!
You should review the science behind darkstone and sunstone in Chronicles of Everfall.
Hey Kyle, really love the show keep up the good work!
So the other day I was bored and decided to do some basic math that I think you’ll appreciate. So I drive for a living, and I’ve driven 50,000 miles this year alone in my work van that gets 15 MPG. So I looked up how much CO2 is produced when you burn a gallon of gas. So I’ve used roughly 3,333 gallons of gas this year so far, and a gallon of gas burned produces (roughly) 20 pounds of CO2. So then I looked up how much CO2 a tree removes from the atmosphere a year. The number I found was about 50 pounds. So by my calculations, I would have to plant about 1333 trees just to remove my carbon footprint alone! (Quick note, I didn’t use significant figures or anything of that nature. I rounded the numbers up so it’s not exact, but it’s a rough estimation. Also I’m not great at math so if I did something wrong please correct me!) ((also sorry I used LBs and not KGs, I know it’s not the science standard but it works for me))
Take care man, hope you have a good day!
I Kno Im repeating myself but I feel like I wasn't heard so,,,, love the show, can't wait for each episode, so I had a question/idea for a episode, so what would u get if u designed a robot and programed it to seek out specific materials to melt down to then "mold" new parts to create a robot that would be programmed the same exept the new robot is to made be at half the size (or smaller). At what point would it not be able to continue or is there other issues that would prevent it?
Hi Kyle, great show! Why don't you explore the option of a black light saber actually emitting light, but it somehow gets trapped inside, just like it was coated with a material like vantablack? It could be that the white glowing stuff reflects all light coming from the blade back, thus rendering that part of the blade "black". (it would also explain why is it white, it reflects all light coming from the outside too)
I found a lot of interesting 'bizarre rocks' on the shores of the great lakes.
