A clarification: the RAF tailgunner that survived the fall when he bailed out of his burning plane, came down in a densely forested area and struck multiple tree branches before landing in the snow pack. The branches slowed his momentum enough to allow his to survive the final drop into the snow bank with only minor injuries. Still one insanely lucky individual. 🤯
You guys did a great job representing Norway and our culture in this episode. It's alot of fun seeing this stuff talked about on a channel that I've watched for so long
I was fully prepared to hear a theory where Olaf is a master of prediciton (a la the Ron Weasley video you made ages ago) but a fact checking video is just as much fun
In the real world "water holds memories" actually kinda works, as water/ice can hold traces of what's gone on in the environment. So it's really how you look at it. Of course not literal human or animal memories the way Elsa's magic makes in the movie. Still, it tells more than most people realise when scientists look at a water sample.
No. Ice traps tangible, *physical* traces of past *physical* compounds; memory is neither tangible NOR physical. Stop with the pseudoscientific nonsense.
Gods...I thought u would mention homeopathy... but luckily it's not that common, outside of germany -.-' @lauramathews3151 ice cores r also used in archaeology ;) unforgettable, when our prof told us, that the climate change is a hoax, since ice cores showed us there always was a little leeway. (ha...hidden AoT joke) Aaaand had to take it back a semester later, literally just a few weeks apart. As new studies were showing up xP
We even see this used for measuring how many Covid patients on average there are in a specific area. They collect the sewage water and test it for all known Covid variants.
The one about horses being associated with water is something I have thought about before because I’ve seen the depiction before. Then it occurred to me that Poseidon is both the god of the sea and for some reason horses. Seems to be a common connection in multiple cultures
The Poseidon thing I actually know about! In the myth of Athens' creation, Athena and Poseidon competed to earn the honor of having the new city named after them. Poseidon created a spring of sea water (fun fact, god of the ocean/sea cannot make fresh water), Athena created the olive tree, and the Poseidon realized he should probably make something the Athenians (idk what to call them before the naming of the city, sorry) could use, so he created not just the horse, which is the best known part of this myth, but also the chariot! He took on a bit of a "god of travel" role in that myth, which is one of the oldest (as far as we can tell) myths about the Greek incarnation of Poseidon. I say the Greek incarnation, because Poseidon, as well as numerous other gods in the Pantheon, actually originated with a group older than the Ancient Greeks. I'm not 100% sure on the accuracy of this next part, but I *think* Poseidon's early form actually did include travel in his godly duties (specifically not messages, which remain Hermes' realm).
15:17 In Greek mythology horses have roots in water. As the god of horses, Poseidon is thought likely to have fathered many horses, best known of which was the winged horse Pegasus by the Gorgon Medusa.
As a vet student : yes the Wombat being hit by a car is absolutely important to know. The impact of the accident can cause ruptures of internal structures and change the way the it looks. Little anecdote from anatomy class. My group trained on a cat that was likely hit by a car. We were wondering the whole time: Why is the liver so small it doesn't fit this cat. Then we saw that the accident ruptured the diaphragm and half of the liver fell through into the cest cavity we were like: owww that makes sense 😂 Also it's also important to say for humane reasons so people know they didn't specifically kill an animal for that research
I actually didn't know about the internal ruptureing part but when I heard that part I did think it was to let animal conservations and animal lovers in general know that they ( the researchers) didn't hurt the wombat it was already dead when they found it
And the beautiful meaning and appearance of that 8-sided compass "snowflake" is what finally led me to getting my first tattoo! And the second? The water spirit, because it reminds me of how Elsa conquered her most difficult struggle, even though it almost killed her, and how I have conquered my battles and can keep going forward!
Idea elsa is at sea, water has memory, she puts her hand in the water and hears the sounds and songs of the memories the water holds Some gentle "wandering free wish I could be part of your world" Some bombastic "What can I say accept Your welcome" Some angry " RUTHLESSNESS IS MERCY UPON OURSELVES"
I have something to say about water having memory. In geology we study isotopes (different weights of atoms) in ice and we can use that information to learn about what the weather was like in the past.
The water spirit in frozen is clearly based on the horse Ben mentioned, however in greek mythology horses are also associated with water. According to the myth Poseidon created horses to impress Demeter the earth goddess. Poseidon was so happy with his creation that he created the hippocampus so he could ride in the water.
The whole "water has memory" thing is actually the key principle with homeopathy! It is indeed pseudoscience but it's a very big deal even in the present day.
I believe "pseudoscience" is just science rediscovering what our ancestors a thousand years ago knew. There is so much knowledge of the natural and spiritual world that we have either lost or ignored. Most of the time, I put more faith in folklore, legends, and myths than current "facts" about the world.
8:57 About water. Yes, we lose water in space, but also wr gain water from space as well, as asteroids have usually ice. Also, we do create and destroy water, by exploding hydrogen or doing electrolysis, but it's not for massive amounts. Still, pretty much all the water on Earth has been here since it formed, I think about 4 billion years ago.
Wow I’m honestly blown away by the facts and non facts, thank you soooo much! I would love love it if you could share your thoughts about Frozen 3 and 4 and what you want to see and expect too ❄️
Nøkken is actually a part of Scandinavian folklore. In other instances it’s a man playing on a violin typically on a rock in the water. We also have many stories of him requiring a person once a year calling out someone to drown and if the sacrifice hasn’t been made for a few years he will take what he is owned at once. He’s mostly associated with fresh water though.
It won't be an actual reason that the water spirit is a horse, but I find it funny that the Ancient Greek word for horse is "hippos" (so "hippopotamus" translated literally basically means "river horse").
I saw the title and was like, this video is going to be awesome! I watched it and was proved right! Your guys' content always makes my day! Keep being amazing! :)
I'm 3:30 in and I had to pause. Ben, you are the first other person I have ever heard say the word "Squareular". This makes me so happy. Thank you. Carry on.
Someone forgot the math budget at 12:51. 600% would equate to a x7 increase. to add 100% is to double or to x2. so lets scale it up, and to add 600% is multiplying 7x the original value. to say they are up 500% would be more accurate IN THIS CONTEXT. percentages to get confusing, so we will be gracious. loads of love for all the theorizing you do, dont worry, we got the math on this end.
I don't quite understand 08:10 "All of the water that has ever been is the same water." That's false. It's pretty easy to break the water molecule into it's respective hydrogen and oxygen components and to take H2 and O2 and make water. It's not immutable.
If you consider core samples from the ice caps, and Crawford Lake which has been nominated for the geological standard for the new era, water kind of does have memories irl...
When I was learning the evaporation and rain cycle, I just thought "oh the earth always has the same amount of water, it just keeps changing states as it is absorbed/digested and then excreted, it gets evaporated but comes back as rain". But then in later science classes we used electricity to break water molecules, and I realized, we have the power to dismantle as well as create water molecules.
I don't know if Näcken ALWAYS changes shape... I think it might differ locally at best... What we are seeing for sure with that horse is actually known as Bäckahästen, which means "the brook horse" or "the horse of the brook" I think I've read that Bäckahästen and Näcken are seen as variations of the same creature, but I don't know if that's the most common version
1:40 When you fall snowboarding or I fall skiing, we're falling on hard machine packed powder (-or granular icy snow) One FRESH powder it's safe because the snow actually SLOWS YOUR FALL AS YOU COMPRESS IT. so while the packed and granular stuff is already FULLY COMPRESSED, NATURAL snow untouched by man is fluffy, soft...and safe! (Or didn't you ever wonder why in places not easily reachable by ski patrol they DON'T have trails if you fall off a lift? They WANT YOU to land soft so you can hike to a trail!) EDIT: Granted, inTHOSE case they also have the poles closer to the ground...
Ok, (as a girl i will say) the Lightning one is more possible because men are more like to be outside during a thunder (and lightning) storm to be struck in the first place
The salamanders and water horse didn't confuse me. Fans of elemental magic fantasy will already be familiar with salamanders, and the Norwegian nøkk isn't the only form of water horse. I'd say the Irish/Scottish kelpie myth is even more widely known.
at 8:12 "all of the water that has ever been, is all and always has been the same water", it always dangerous getting into absolutes with science. While the vast majority of water is really old, and this helps understanding the idea that the water cycle doesnt generate new water, but there is definitely some very new water in you right now! when the body breaks down glucose in cellular respiration using oxygen, carbon dioxide and WATER is formed. Same way with combustion and burning things.
While perhaps a bit more meta than the facts presented, in the video, you can also chalk up "providing the most likely solution to the Dyatlov Pass Incident" to Frozen -- Engineers with a Swiss federal technical institute utilized the snow simulation code created by the animators and proved that despite the mild slope, an avalanche most likely resulted in the deaths of the Soviet hikers.
wait this is so interesting to me because i always chalked the "just like landing on a pillow!!" up to the disney magic touch and assumed "yeah you'd die in real life" but to learn i am actually wrong here is so cool lol
fun fact: in Greek mythology, the gods Athena and Poseidon had a competition to decide who would become the patron of what would become Athens (I can’t remember what the city was called before). the two decided to make something for the people, and whichever thing the people of Athens liked more, then whoever made it would become the patron god of the city. Athena created olive trees, which eventually won her the city because of the versatility of olives, while Poseidon created horses, which reminded me of the water spirit in Frozen 2 and why it takes the shape of a horse.
I’m from Sweden and I love your representation and sharing of cultural quirks from our beloved northern countries. Like your episodes about the concept of ”Hygge”, Kristofs Sami-heritage, lore about trolls and Finlands obsession with Saunas. (How is it going on that sauna project J?) But as a Swede - and you must know that Swedes and Norwegians like to poke fun at at each other, all in good humor😉 - I had so much fun at the original video where Ben talks about the background of the ”bark debate” and laughed so hard at the prospect of a 12 hour program on firewood! 😂 Thanks for another good one! Fantastic job with the fact-checking. 👍🏼
That NDT post is pretty much all one needs to know about him. Loves "correcting" people but his assumption and therefore "correction" was just completely wrong.
Right? Was looking for this comment. 😂 Dude is so full of himself and just straight up assumes that even though they got it correct the first time that there were just no reason for their different-looking snowflake for Frozen 2. Obviously Niel it's different for a reason, no one wants you "correcting" things that don't need to be corrected. Man, he bothers me, lol. I think he "corrected" something in one movie one time and now feels the need to do this all the time, even when he's wrong.
1:20 well they are most likely landing on fresh powdersnow not jet packed into a solid block. like the snow that can cause avilange risks. snowboarding places usually are more packed snow therefore feel harder. that might make the difference between falling and needing to stuff your pants with said snow or landing on a pillow like in the movie. just a thought though.
Really fun video. About the square poops, the thing about evolution is it's not really that direct with cause and effect for adaptations and mutations. "Survival of the fittest" is more accurately, "Survival of the good enough."
Another connection between horses and water- in Greek Mythology, one of the gifts Poseidon, god of the sea, supposedly gave Athens was horses made from waves. Athena gave an olive tree and Athens liked her gift better so named their city after her, hence the name.
9:00 Considering that we have been to space and are often hit by object from space, it would not be far fetched that some water has been added that also came from space. So logic would dictate that no, all the water that is on earth has always been here. O-O
Water has memories, we use it to determine when big ice ages were if we look at the percentages of heavy hydrogen (Deuterium) in H2O because it can tell us if there was an ice age in a certain period.
The water on earth is absolutely not "the same water that has always been here." Natural chemical processes, both organic and inorganic, produce and use water. For example, burning wood or methane produces water and carbon dioxide as the hydrocarbons (molecules containing hydrogen and carbon) oxidize (react with oxygen). Here's the reaction for methane and oxygen: CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O (one methane molecule and 2 oxygen molecules react to produce one carbon dioxide molecule and 2 water molecules). However, there is so friggin' much water on the planet and our bodies use so little of it as an active part in chemical processes that, yes, there's a good chance that some amount of what we consume was once in several other animals.
I'm getting back into Frozen because of the new Disney Speedstorm season (which is awesome). And I know this isn't Disney, but I'd love to see SCB talk about the Hilda series.
When I was 10 we would jump off our neighbors two story wall into the their driveway after three feet of snow fell that night. It was soft and easily compressed. No one got hurt. It was awesome.
Water does have some sort of memory: when frozen it can keep things in their original state. Think about the frozen people found in situations similar to ottohallen
Regarding the Earth losing water… I can’t stop thinking about something I heard on TikTok about the water stuck in water-bottles in landfills and such around the world… the water can’t rejoin the water cycle cause the bottles don’t decompose 😭
My two year old also continuously asked for Elsa 1 and Elsa 2, as well as Punzel (Tangled). I've seen these three movies well over a hundred times in the last year.
I live in finland and i used to jump off my grandparents roof into a pile of snow in the wintertime! it was so much fun! You need a lot of snow for that though and there hasn't been as crazy winters in a while
the salamander is also a famous cryptid that is what is being discussed. its not considered an actual salamander but mutual variant... it's a real as the snow Jotun or the Nøkk that are also shown/mentioned
A clarification: the RAF tailgunner that survived the fall when he bailed out of his burning plane, came down in a densely forested area and struck multiple tree branches before landing in the snow pack. The branches slowed his momentum enough to allow his to survive the final drop into the snow bank with only minor injuries.
Still one insanely lucky individual. 🤯
to be fair though I don't think Anne and Chistoph fell as far down from a cliff than jumping out of an actual plane so there may be wiggle room

Ice cores are one of the main ways scientists measure long term changes in the atmosphere.
It's like the strata used in archeology and anthropology.

"water holds memory" is honestly more about how water is extremely soluble
fun fact: in Greek mythology, the gods Athena and Poseidon had a competition to decide who would become the patron of what would become Athens (I can’t remember what the city was called before). the two decided to make something for the people, and whichever thing the people of Athens liked more, then whoever made it would become the patron god of the city. Athena created olive trees, which eventually won her the city because of the versatility of olives, while Poseidon created horses, which reminded me of the water spirit in Frozen 2 and why it takes the shape of a horse.

Surprised they didn't have MatPat help with this one. It's right up his alley
Really fun video. About the square poops, the thing about evolution is it's not really that direct with cause and effect for adaptations and mutations. "Survival of the fittest" is more accurately, "Survival of the good enough."
Another connection between horses and water- in Greek Mythology, one of the gifts Poseidon, god of the sea, supposedly gave Athens was horses made from waves. Athena gave an olive tree and Athens liked her gift better so named their city after her, hence the name.
Wow I loved this video!!! Great topic!!
Thanks for this video! Great one!
I thought the water thing was a reference to the study that showed water holding emotional vibrations when it was frozen
Dr Emoto's experiment! I've been scrolling the comments looking for this.
9:00 Considering that we have been to space and are often hit by object from space, it would not be far fetched that some water has been added that also came from space. So logic would dictate that no, all the water that is on earth has always been here. O-O
If water has memory and time is a loop and repeats...that line about technology is a lot scarier
Water has memories, we use it to determine when big ice ages were if we look at the percentages of heavy hydrogen (Deuterium) in H2O because it can tell us if there was an ice age in a certain period.
Ahhh nothing like an existential crisis about water before bed.
The water on earth is absolutely not "the same water that has always been here." Natural chemical processes, both organic and inorganic, produce and use water. For example, burning wood or methane produces water and carbon dioxide as the hydrocarbons (molecules containing hydrogen and carbon) oxidize (react with oxygen). Here's the reaction for methane and oxygen: CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O (one methane molecule and 2 oxygen molecules react to produce one carbon dioxide molecule and 2 water molecules).
However, there is so friggin' much water on the planet and our bodies use so little of it as an active part in chemical processes that, yes, there's a good chance that some amount of what we consume was once in several other animals.
I'm getting back into Frozen because of the new Disney Speedstorm season (which is awesome). And I know this isn't Disney, but I'd love to see SCB talk about the Hilda series.
He said that water has memories, and so does Olaf
but Olaf is made of snow, not water
nice try, Ben
Right. And what's snow made of again?
wow ben. these last 2 years have FLOWN by
Omg. I love this.
16:52 a woman can shoot ice out of her hand, yet how many sides an snowflake has breaks all laws of physics
When I was 10 we would jump off our neighbors two story wall into the their driveway after three feet of snow fell that night. It was soft and easily compressed. No one got hurt. It was awesome.
Water does have some sort of memory: when frozen it can keep things in their original state. Think about the frozen people found in situations similar to ottohallen
Regarding the Earth losing water… I can’t stop thinking about something I heard on TikTok about the water stuck in water-bottles in landfills and such around the world… the water can’t rejoin the water cycle cause the bottles don’t decompose 😭
Molecules do have memories, they just don't have cars
My two year old also continuously asked for Elsa 1 and Elsa 2, as well as Punzel (Tangled). I've seen these three movies well over a hundred times in the last year.
im sorry. NICHOLAS ALCHEMY? that's his name. Nah, that aint science. He's just the ultimate alchemist philosopher.
Love Olaf! Wish you guys would do more Disney videos, feels like it's all Harry Potter anymore
Hello! Love this channel!
Horses are associated with water in Greek Mythology as well. It was supposedly Poseidon who created horses to begin with.
I live in finland and i used to jump off my grandparents roof into a pile of snow in the wintertime! it was so much fun! You need a lot of snow for that though and there hasn't been as crazy winters in a while
I love the tmnt spot. Would love super Carlin bros doing turtles lore.
the salamander is also a famous cryptid that is what is being discussed. its not considered an actual salamander but mutual variant... it's a real as the snow Jotun or the Nøkk that are also shown/mentioned
The painted box turtle is actually a type of tortoise
Another fun fact related to snowflakes: ice is considered a mineral and has very similar structure to aquamarine and emerald (both types of beryl)
