What if super strength wasn't just the stuff of epic comic book stories? Is it scientifically possible to be super strong? In this series, Joy Lin tackles six superpowers and reveals just how scientifically realistic they can be to us mere mortals.
Lesson by Joy Lin, animation by Cognitive Media.
If i wake up one morning with strength 1000 times more than last night, I'd have average strength...
lol. thats funny.
They need to having heat vision
Tuna p
.
You'd need X-ray vision to see the depth of that burn
All it takes is
100 push-ups
100 sit ups
100 squats
And a 10km run
Everyday for 3 years
is eating a banana ok?
i lost some eyebrows too
+BudderMan you forgot no AC
ONE PUUUUUUNCH!!!
Camime I know thats from 1 punch man but I bet its impossible to do that without hurting yourself
Having superhuman strength, doesn't necessarily mean that you can't control it.
For example, a strongman capable of lifting enormous weight, isn't going to crush his morning cup of coffee, just because he can.
This is more like dexterity because you have to use 1000x less force than which is like making everything 1000x weaker so yes you will have a hard time controlling that without the dexterity of a brain surgeon.
The difference with a strongman is that the strongman exercises and each workout increases strength by 0.5 to 1 percent which is extremely slow compared to the 1000x depicted in the video so the strongman would essentially not notice his increase until he lifts something heavy enough for him to feel the increase
@Alfa&Omega 00000 human therapy genetic become more high and immortality
it's 1000 times, if it's only 5 times maybe yes you can. 1000 times more power means anything you touch gonna destroyed when you touch it with normal power.
that's because he trained to slowly and gradually gain that strenght and gottten used to it. If you suddenly have it by waking up on the other hand...........
Just because you have superstrength it doesn't mean you need to use your full strength in everyday tasks. You can control the output of the force.
idonotmakevidsyet not... really? not well, at least.
Really? As if we used the least force we have to pick up every day objects.
Imagine it this way: Shaking someone's hand with 1000x your normal strength would be similar to trying to catch a fly using your bare hands without killing the fly. Do you have that much control?
I sometimes catch flies with my bare hands without killing them... I just close my fist with some space inside. And glass is easily broken by the force of a human hand, but you certainly control yourself to not break your shots (until you gent drunk enough).
DawnfireGalinndan If the fly isn't moving, yea
Who said that you couldn't control your strength? Someone explain this to me. We (as normal humans) do it all of the time. We don't use all of our strength to, say, pick up the phone, but we obviously use much more when moving furniture.
+smartnerd12 The story goes that you wake up with 10 000 time the strength. Obviously, a human being born with that kind of strength would instinctively know how much strength is needed to lift delicate objects such as coffee cups and glasses.
That is a reasonable retort, but he is still right; at least in the short run. The reason for the chaos is mussel reflex. You do know how much force it takes to turn a door nob,but only because you've done it many, many times with strength maybe 100x less than what you had before you awoke as an unaware god among men; as well as knowing that, unless you try to use extreme force, the nob won't rip off the door when you grab it. Likewise, with repetition, your body remembers this and translate this to reflex so you don't need to constantly make the same discovery.
As far as you are aware, all original stress limits that you used to deal with normally are but about 1/100 weaker than before. From your perspective, what would feel like the same force that would turn a door nob is about 100x greater. Because the change of strength is immediate, you reach out and, to your shock, the crumpled door nod is in your closed hand. You'd have to get used to your new strength, and adjust accordingly.
+Rin Crystalyte Ah, but this doesn't address the physiological consequences. Assuming super strength related to the amount of muscle in your body, the expanded strength would mean more muscle fibers. Now if super strength meant amplifying the chemical contraction in individual fibers the strength would take getting use to, but if the strength is due to more fibers being present it would be the same as day to day activities since your brain would continue to release chemicals to activate the the same amount of fibers as before. Now if your brain was experiencing exertion and sent more signals to your muscles to contract more fibers for force, that's when the super strength comes in. You wouldn't have to watch day to day activities as much as you would have to watch when you get angry and don't realize your own strength. Super strength would be a reasonable super power to have.
+French Toost lol go to a gym, lift the lighter weights, then lift the heavier weights. lift them at the same speed and notice your body only uses extra strength where it needs to. of course, to some extent your point may be valid. however if your mind gets comfortable with that proportion of strength, you'd be able to handle delicate tasks with much less effort. if you used the same amount of effort then sure you'd start breaking shit. in the end its all about how quickly your mind adapts.
***** oh whups misread.
I don't see how this was about super strenght at all...
+ThePhynix85
So you didn't watched the first seconds of the video.
+William Tael The majority of the video had little to do with super strength and made horrible implications like it can't be controlled.
ThePhynix85 I
Why doesn't he just jump up and saves her
The g-force because of the sudden stop would kill her...
who else is on a ted-ed marathon? :D
me :P
I am XD

Me! This is what I do when I fall sick XD
nah it wouldn't be so hard, 1000 x 0 is still 0

how can you be alive?

Most of this had nothing to do with super strength.
THANK YOU. This si stupid. They are just trying to find a excuse why it wouldn't work. DUH. Just super JUMP and catch her and take the force your self. DUH
wouldnt it makes sence to use your super strength to jump up 30 feet so just as you start falling she hits the door at a slower speed then before you hit the ground you push up with your super strength carefully to slow her even more then you land catch her while bringing your body down? 10 secounds of logic people
This is more of super resistance than super strength...
Joke?
Nah
Why did they only analyze super strength in one very specific scenario -.-
I have no idea. It's not even about super-strength after the first minute.
Aeliuz These videos are stupid they only analyze very specific scenarios and even then they analyze the abilities without many assumed properties...
Ben Fox it did get me thinking thouhg- what function would super strength really have? how many times in your life have you needed to lift a car off of someone, or had to stop a speeding train? being superstrong would just be a party trick
Ben Fox Did you not read the end?
Ben Fox They have a limited time for each video. As mentioned at the end of the video, they leave stuff out and are only able to provide generalized or simplified science because the videos have a limited time frame. These are not hour long classes and thus only the tip of the iceberg is touched on.
this wasn't so much about super strength, but could you save a woman falling from a great height
That piece of broccoli isn't a problem. If you have super strength and still have control over your muscles the way you do now, the resistance of broccoli being impaled by fork would feel to you like NOTHING. It would be like sticking fork into thin air and stopping just above the plate. I'm pretty sure, you can do that.
I think you would still feel it, you just would have a lot more options compared to a human with average strength
I mean the first premise seems moot as long as you have the same reflex/motor skill capability as you do now. I don't believe massive bodybuilders go around accidentally rushing things despite having that amount of muscle strength. I could understand it in the beginning, when you would not be used to the extra strength, but after you have acclimated, it seems like it would be fine. But then again I ain't no science man.
Staremperor exactly my thought
@@Achiles5th well in the scenario shown in the video you have no prior training, so you wouldn't be able to control your newly gained power
Easy fix: become a villain.
😂😂😂
Lol livelong enough as a hero to see your self become the villain
What the hell was with that entire rant about the chick falling 300 ft up? How does 1000x strength really apply here?
Kyle Dean you dont die from her hitting you because youre strong?
Billy Diaz its the force you use to lift your arms up
It just seems kind of a null point to make do to the fact that super strength or not physics/ gravity have sealed her fate.
Your muscle mass would be too dense that it would equal the density of concrete. So instead of letting her fall on the ground, you instead let her fall on the ground 5 ft above (in your arms).
This point was total more about freefall than actual strength or force. You'd need to know that gravity is -9.8m/s pulling her down from Vi of 0. Also if F=M×A then her weight multiplied by her acceleration is the force she hits with.
Super strengh has nothing to do with flying or saving people from free fall.
I can lift, let's say, 40kg with my arm, but it does not mean I can't carrefully pick up an ant 100000000x lighter from the ground because I would destroy it. This argument is full of flaws. Good arguments are:
You lose strenght if you don't use it. So if you wanna keep up your strenght(super strenght in that matter) you would have to work out lifting extremelly heavy and dangerous stuff, risking your life in the process;
The amout of energy such muscles demand would be impractical. Imagine how much food you would have to ingest to keep it( assuming it's biological strenght);
A funny but yet real one: you would be tearing your clothes frequently, especially pants. Imagine you are wearing a paper shorts, it's the same principle;
People would fear you instead of the adimiration most people imagine.
Etc, Etc etc...
do u lift 40 kg with 1 arm? o_0
It's an hipotesis xD.
Aahh xD because thats a lot!! :P
+Caio Oliveira hypothesis
Hex Animationz Thank you. English is not my first language.
1:45 What if, as you caught her, your lowered your hands, slowing her down over the final few feet before she hits the ground? Quick deceleration?
Or you used your super strength to leap into the air, then falling at the same rate as her, caught her and you take the force of impact on your feet?
You got it exactly
I'm thinking that the best chance she has is if you use the entire height of your body as a spring.
This is how you do it, use the door you ripped from that guy's restroom and hold it above your head like pictured in the video.
The next part's a bit more tricky; when she reaches the door you wold need to start moving the door downwards at a speed approximately equaling her own, and to smoothly bring her to a near stop before reaching the ground level.
But if you manage to eat that piece of broccoli, you should already be use to such finesse.
The only problem I see is that the door may break due to the sudden acceleration, so maybe just grab a car or something, after all you do have the strength of a thousand men.
I thought I'd the jumping thing too!! And I'm an idiot when it comes to word problems. Glad to hear I wasn't the only one who thought of that incase I'm wrong somehow.
Just because your hands can decelerate, doesn't mean the woman decelerate with your hands.
Same case with achieving a stop with your feet. With your superstrength, you and your feet can stop, but the woman you're carrying does not just stop, to her it's still sudden stop.
No the vid's right, you have to have a cushion space to be able to save the falling woman.
Or fly up so fast so you can catch her before she's falling too fast to safely stop.
jumping is actually a good idea but uou can still save her without jumping
with the 300 feet, 10 feet example.. if he can follow her in a falling motion from "the moment she touches the door" to "when both victim and door lands on the floor".. he can save her ezily
why? because the average deceleration she experience would be roughly 30g which is just nice for people to survive a fall
Video fails to take important things into consideration...
1- You don't need to stay still to catch the girl. As she falls on your arms, you move down and desacelerate her from the top of your head to the ground. It would still cause damage, but distributing the force could prevent death.
2- The strong character can just jump alittle and catch her laterally. He adds his mass to hers, and then fall with her on the top of his body.
+Michael Alves True, it would be natural for the catcher to swing his arms down and drop his body to the ground upon catching the falling victim to slow her descent before she impacted upon the pavement. However, even if he raised his arms above his head and then lowered them (along with his body) at a control motion that gradually slowed her down, she would still most likely be dead upon impact. Here's why:The average human body can withstand up to 50 Gs dorsally (i.e. falling on your back) before the chances of dying on impact become higher than your chances of surviving the impact (i.e. Dying > 50% > Surviving). Therefore, our hero must deaccelerate her at no more than 50 Gs (i.e. ~500 m/s^2 or 1,640 ft/s^2) if she is to have a fair chance of surviving her fall. So, after doing some basic physics calculations, I've deduced that she would require at least 3 meters (~9 feet) of height to slow her down and cushion her impact. Any shorter of a distance requires her to deaccelerate more quickly, which would drastically lowering her odds of survival. Assuming our hero is around 1.8 meters (~6 feet tall) and he holds his arms out just above his head, he would still be over 1 meter too short to provide the minimum cushioning distance required to catch her safely. However, if she is not falling at terminal velocity (55 m/s or 120 mph) and she has only managed to achieve a falling speed slower than 80% of her terminal velocity (>44 m/s or > 98 mph) our hero would just be able to catch the falling victim in his outstretched arms and have enough height to allow him to slow down her descent at a relatively safe rate. She would probably have some broken ribs, possibly a broken spinal cord and some internal bleeding, but more likely than not she would be alive after her impact. And as your second statement points out, our hero could use he incredible strength to leap into the air, collide with her in mid-air to partially deaccelerate her, and then land and catch her while her speed has been reduced. However, both of these scenarios both require our hero to calculate and perform these action with pin-point accuracy, which would require our hero to have trained for just this scenario--perhaps regularly dropping and catching 120 lbs bags of cement from various roof tops?
+Jimmy Bob in fact think bout this the other way around....you are 1000 time stronger ,that means you jump 1000 times higher ,that means you can jump up to at least 500 meters high => you can catch her < half the distance to the ground ,in mid air and avoid falling back by having a jump angle that collides with a building ,passing trough a wall or window and letting her free on the floor or even putting her on a building roof. Having super strength wouldn,t be bad at all (except first week untill you get used to it ,altough you really can break some bones when shaking hands and hugging someone
+Adrian Chirita Now add some psionic powers to it, that would help the person with super strength voluntarily stop himself/herself from breaking bones when shaking hands or hugging someone.
+Michael Alves The 14 people who voted your comment don't know a damn about physics.
+RadioactiveSand
I think you misunderstood something.
If the "hero" catch the falling person by jumping laterally, and his mass is the same for a normal person, he can effectively stop her falling in half the distance, causing her to suffer two deacelerations but at way lower speeds. (remember square of aceleration per second of fall.)
And in the end he can use his body to further reduce the force. (Well it depends if the hero has steel like body, or if he is soft as humans but magically durable, like superman for example, no one that touches ou poke clark kent feels like he is any different from a human.)
If he is any smart, he can even do this at the start of her fall, and then use a wall to slowly reduce the falling speed.
Remember that just by not holder her stiff during the fall, but slowly deacelerating her when he reachs the floor himself, he can already produce some of the effect of hitting a very elastic ground.
So yeah, i think you are trying to be a bit to critical here.
If you disagree, we can argue further.
he's right about catching people but wrong about everything else, Everytime u do something u use effort, just because u can toss trucks does not mean you use the same amount of effort nonstop, just because u could move a heavy box out the way does not mean u use the same effort the whole time, if you don't push yourself hard enough that box ain't going anywhere, just cause a semi can go say 80 miles per hour does not mean it's stuck like that, it depends on how much force you push on the pedal, us modern humans can haul logs out the way but at the same time hold a delicate flower, and perform surgeries.
for all there videos there logic is flawed and science is not sound.
They didn't factor in the all or non law
I love how Joy Lin narrates the explanation throughout the whole video.
This is actually what happened to Spiderman and Gwen Stacey. He caught her but the impact/sudden stop still killed her.
Papergirl i think she hits her head on the ground
then why doesn't it happen in all the superman movies when he catches someone at 420+ mph
Couldn't he just webbed her in a massive ball and allow it to absorb the fall?
could you please stop making those noises
+Ryan adams I like this guy's goofiness.

1000x0=0
Lukáš Josai beanboozled again
that is easy to understand
Lukáš Josai Nice one man XD
Lukáš Josai WHAT?!?!?!
multiply is how much is it used again and again like 2 2s is 4 so if it's 0 it does not repeat because if you repeat 1000 0 times you get nothing, gets?
Why not just jump up to meet her and decelerate the force? If you can use your super strength to jump, which should be possible, then you can also use your super strength to create an opposing force relative to the ground and slow down your impact tremendously. Essentially, you'd be like classic superman or an astronaut, as you wouldn't be held back by atmospheric pressure like a normal human. You essentially could generate enough force to counter orbital velocity quite easily, if you chose to.
...educators using Imperial units for velocity?
_Seriously?_
Physics universally uses Metric units, even in America. Come on, guys.
Frankthegb Educators also have to be able to simplify things for the sake of people who do not know. As an american i do't understand most of the metric system (even if it is a nice series of 10's)
this was made for an american audience, it's simply reginolizing it for us. like whenever you watch something dubbed and it changes from Km to miles
Ruldolphmaker I'm an American, and I learned the metric system in 10 minutes when I was in grade school. If you can't understand it, it is because you are stupid, not because you are American. You should have pride in being an American, and not blaming it for your failings.
+Frankthegb
That's always the problem with science shows from USA. They religiously stick to their rubbish measuring system.
Also, Web shows from USA tend to be very short-sighted and fail to recognize the big picture, that which is, even though their original intended audience is of USA, once they put their show on the Internet, they get an international audience.
+Frankthegb Who gives a fuck? The numbers used were still correct. And therefore logical.
General Sarasota
But using imperial system is not logical.
We do too! It was awesome working with a guy who voice acted in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Leonardo), Ratchet & Clank (Ratchet), The Flintstones (Fred), multiple Star Wars episodes (lots of characters) and who did Titus in Final Fantasy X...to name only a few!
If you had 1000x the normal strength, you could still be delicate. You can control how much pressure you use, but you can use much more than a normal person. Imagine if you could go 10000x the speed of a normal person, you can still walk slowly, but you can also go super fast.
From the comments made on Lin's section on problems with strength control, here's what I thought he was trying to say:
If you were to JUST have 1000 times the strength of a normal human, that would apply to EVERY type of application of strength. What I mean is that although our brains are fantastic organs capable of great adaptability, there is only so much that they can process. So if a person were to have a regular human brain with a 1000x the strength of a normal human, the lightest touch that the brain would process in that moment would still be 1000x more powerful than the lightest touch of a regular person with a regular brain. It's not about using 100% of your strength ALL the time. It's about EVERY application of your strength being multiplied by a 1000. The lightest application, the average application, and the strongest application of force that a normal human mind can comprehend is going to be multiplied by a 1000 thanks to a 1000x stronger than normal body. The only way that we can see strength control comparable to Superman is if our brains are given the capability to process gentleness way beyond the current scope of our normal brains. Essentially being given a super brain. Which is what a lot of responses automatically assumed would come the added increase in strength.
On a side note, Lin illustrated that all of this is happening with the scenario of it SUDDENLY HAPPENING out of nowhere with no time to build it up, have any transitional periods of strength to acclimate oneself to to be able to fully transition to such strength, and essentially still having the mindset of having normal strength (at least before you do anything). So any comparisons to normal body builders wouldn't really work for obvious reasons. Also the amount of strength that those people wield is still within the range of human comprehension and capability, albeit in the most extreme sense. While 1000x the strength of a normal human is well beyond any range of human capability in real life and so the mind would obviously have trouble comprehending that much power with no modifications to the mind to acclimate itself to the increase of strength.
This guy should provide voice over for all the digital comics released now. He's actually doing a pretty good job at that.
If you jumped up to her (Which you could with that kind of strength) then you could just catch her mid air just like the Hulk did with Iron man in the Avengers movie. Catching her before she was falling too fast and absorbing the impact with your own superhuman body against the building (Someone is going to have to pay for that later but whatever.).
***** it wouldnt change her fall speed; it would just add your mass to the total inertia and make a bigger splat
No you're jumping up to her before she gains speed and then by dragging against the side of the building you're slowing down the fall. So she wouldn't be falling at those lethal speeds.
***** You do know that if you jumped up to her, you would just end up being what stops her... and you would have the problem of _still_ going back down.
Supa Bambam Like I said, drag yourself against the building. Since your super-strong it wouldn't hurt you and it would slow your decent. Thus saving the the girl. And if you jump up to her before she falls at dangerously fast speeds (Or if your moving at the same speed she is) then catching her will be fine.
***** Whoops, you are right with the building part, that piece completely went over my head, but the thing is, unless you jump nearly the whole height of the building to catch her, your own velocity is enough to cause damage as well if you jump up to here from the half point or so... Even if you jumped to the exact spot needed to be at a complete stop in mid air, you would have the problem of her coming down and hitting you, also, you would have to jump from a good angle to be able to grab her and still make it to the building, as no matter how strong you are, there is no way you can swim in the air.
this had nothing to do with super strength lol, we were obviously thinking of stuff like lifting parked cars to save a person trapped under it
Yeah but they're trying to de-bunk the super power and in that situation it would work perfectly overall, super strength is the most scientifically accurate super power like, bruh just train yourself to use 1/100,000th of your strength 24/7 duh
If you woke up and had strength 1000 times great than the day before, then as soon as you move your whole body would go flying across the block and the ground where you took off would explode.
beautiful! XD
strength is a skill. much of this video is like the average American trying to explain cricket or Hinduism. it's like a little kid thinking smart people must have huge heads.
well one that made this awkward for me to watch... those sound effects (also the fact that this is aimed at ppl like 5yrs old)
especially that one at 3:14
seriously that was awkward af
Honestly true people dont understand the physics included in super powers
What did this have to do with super strength
luke That if u have superstrength, ur daily life would be suck and... u cant save anyone from falling
If I take the second half of that sentence it's about the same as usual. Super strength or not, gravity will kill you from that height.
Monark Roy obviously
Not always falling velocity at a certain point will stay the same so if you could exert that force into motion like rolling it will decrease chances of death so simple answer just roll
A good example of realistic super strength would be Unbreakable, Split and Glass movies as the characters of The Overseer and the Horde are able to do tasks that would need super strength but with in realm of possibility e.g. Busting a door down, bending Steel bars, pushing a group of people over and lifting a car on to it's side.
Wait why would someone try to catch a falling person with a door? -_-?
T.K The God Breaker™ 神ブレーカ to distribute the force of the fall an a larger area so that her bones don t suffer that much of an impact
If you had the toughness to handle the strength without hurting your own body, this is actually one of the better powers. You couldn't do the mystical stuff like lift skyscrapers, but once you'd gotten used to the strength and could control it better, I'd probably go with this one.
Just become a lonely last boss
*"Everything I touch, breaks..."*
Actually, there’s a way you might be able to save her: as soon as she lands, squat to spread the impact over a longer period of time (which is what cushions do).
Yeah, and if super strength just means impossibly powerful muscles, you could also just jump to her height. That, combined with squatting, would probably give a good window of survivability, provided you jump up to her immediately as she falls. You might also have some drag force in your favour on the way down.
Even if you would bring your arms down along with her in order to lessen the impact:
Assuming you have about 2 meters to stop her and she travels at 137ft/s or 41.76m/s, the deceleration would be about -435.97m/s² or 44.4g. The highest g-force a human survived are 214g, the highest deceleration a human can survive without severe damage are about 100g. So assuming she lands face or back of the head first (landing sideways would make her neck snap), her chances of survival are ok, but she will be hurt.
to be fair there have been 13 documented cases of people who survive falling at terminal velocity
what about landing on solid surfaces?
If youre asking me, i dont know if any were concrete but i know they were on a variety of surfaces, not all landing in deep mud or anything.
***** the reason they are documented is because they are very lucky, but it doesn't mean the average joe were to jump out a 30 story window ill survive
fbiuzz
its been a while since i saw the video but i think they were making it seem like it is physically impossible to survive the fall.
im pretty sure a lifetime of super strength would get you used to doing very minuet task very easily. the same way a brain surgeon can do brain surgery with ease. also, you just explained why super strength wouldnt save a falling women, but it would be able to help out in 1000 different scenarios.
You will not be able to get used to such power, because of how brain controls muscles.
all your motions will become very rough and lack precision, your hands will shake all time.
if you want to use this power properly you need also change your muscle control to work in other way.
If you have super strength you would also need super durability. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Basically, if you punch a person with a certain amount of force, that same amount of force is going back into your hand. That’s why people’s hands can break when punching other people for example, the force they generated was greater than what their body could tolerate.
Deku knows this better than anyone
You have to remember that now you are 1000 times stronger which means that if you just poke something with what you feel like is normal strength it'll pierce straight through the object. We are not machines we can't be precise about the force we exert. Flinging cars around is the equivalent of tossing a 10 pound weight around to you. Everything is relative. It's like saying you walk into a person and their density of muscle is 1.06kg/L that's which is 1.06kg/m^3. The density of air is 1.225kg/m^3 so if you walk into someone you'll literally be walking through something less dense then air. What happens to that person is what happens when you walk through air. You push apart their molecules and you'll be left with a person with a chunk taken out of their body in the shape of wherever you bumped into them.
-your super hero seemed to have invulnerability too,
and you stopped talking about super strength two thirds of the way through so that you could talk about flying.
but what if i got super strength when i was born? how my psychology and daily life would be?
thanks ^_^... i need it as reference for my comic book story
Babies have a tendency of not being capable of restrain themselves. So you will break lots of things: your toys, your walls, your parents...
1:17 why does that SWAT guy look so futuristic?
He looks like Robocop
0:57 lmao that was him.
Superman: Me? I've got a different problem. I feel like I live in a world made of cardboard. Always taking constant care not to break something. To break someone. Never allowing myself to lose control, even for a moment, or someone could die.
Justice league quote!!!
holy crap, when this guy giggled like a french girl i nearly pissed myself laughing, like wtf xD
i think he enjoyed this a bit much~
My favourite playlist ever!
My power is thermal kinetic combustion which can destroy anything in evey direction, i can cause someone to burn from the inside out and cause them to explode until they turn into ash and i can do this within any range, i can cause a napalm in the palm of my hand which can severely burn a person's skin, i can teleport with this power but i explode or cause a spark as i'm doing this, i can switch positions with people but the position i was originally standing in becomes an inescapable minefield, i can stick on to anything and detonate at my will, i can create clones but they easily explode if anyone else touches them, i can cause someone to go deaf for a few seconds or so due to my explosions when it goes over 185 decibels.
If superpowers were real, I want to have telekinesis. because what could possibly go wrong in having that power?
You'd likely stress your brain.
OH MAN!
Teleportation is the best. Saving people from falling building would be a piece of cake and can you imagine the profit you could do by transporting merchandise from a continent to another in mere minutes.
But I think it requires you knowing the exact look of the place you want to go and also need to know the exact looks and features of the thing you want teleport, because you might end up teleporting just the half of it.

What if you get stuck in a wall?
if you had super strength why cant control how much strength you exert.
Ted Ed : breaking superhero fantasy by logic
Batman : hmm
I love how much you can tell the narrator loved these :)
I would still be weak.
Do telekinesis
Also, spinning and matching the velocity from the fall as you crouch in the catch might work. Energy diversion and gradual deceleration.
Really enjoyed these. Can we have another season?
Next video = Turning ground to marshmallows...
Laser vision. Ouch
This video would be 100 times better if he stopped making so many dumb sounding noises.
Scyker Ashy nah, it's fun. After all, all of this is based around Comic superpowers. And comics have such weird sounds
Well I also hate these sounds.
como hiciste para poner ese comic en youtube?
podrias hacer un tutorial paso a paso
0:44 driving the fork through the plate?
More like driving the fork through the table.
Saitama handled it. Maybe we'll do too....
Maybe, assuming it does exist.
Who the hell said we had to be 1000 times stronger?
Super strength. They're talking about supernatural strength type 1 which means you can lift cars to trucks, buses, and other vehicles of great size. It's like you don't know anything.
John Hasben so what? There are power lifters in real life who turn the head of a truck over with normal human strenght. Unless you wanna move continents, i think x50 would be enough for anything you might wanna do. No need for it to be a thousand times bigger
Damsel in distress
That doesn't happen nowadays, u know
Technically with super strength comes with super legs as well. That means you could practice jumping hwights and eventually learn each meter and how large to jump to.
So if someone was about to fall, you could catch that person mid-air and possibly land safely by not jumping straight up but instead forward, into a building, a tree or whatever.
Another technique is to jump up when she is midclose, when that happens grab her(doesn't matter if you break her arm she is falling already to death) and with a spin throw her back up, then when you land jump up to her and land her safely on a rooftop.
if my strength was improved to x1000 then i could squat 405,000lbs
And I would be able to lift 8 tons above my head!
so you can only lift 16lbs over your head?
20 lbs. and I can do 3-5 reps.
supernova Bau you're not being serious are you?
Ruining every boys dream of becoming a superhero
Love it, "It's not the fall but the sudden stop."
With the catch example, you could lower your arms as she makes impact, thereby distributing the force over a distance making the fall less hard.
Who said you catching falling women is all super strength is good for next police guns are useless cus they cant save an old man getting a heart attack
They know real people can control their strength, right?
znout65 just because you have a certain level of strength doesn't mean you would be used to having it. In the scenario that they have given they say you wake up one day and have 1000 times the strength as you did the day before. Because the increase in strength is so absurdly large you would have to learn to use a smaller percentage of your strength. When someone starts working out to become strong their body increases in strength at a slow enough rate that you shouldn't need to consciously limit your strength but here the increase in strength just comes out of nowhere with no way to prepare.
There are a bunch of other issues that this brings up though, like, if your strength works as they have said then you would also have 1000 times more muscle which would make it hard to move without injuring yourself or the fact that you could very easily shatter all your bones on accident, and yet they don't bring these things up at all.
The whole "The world become delicate" bit only makes sense if you are using your full strength. I'm not flexing any muscles that much to use a fork. If I was playing a video game and got upset, I would probably crush the controller, but I don't see how simple tasks would become difficult suddenly.
U can jump upwards to her fall with her and hold her in a position that she doesn't break something, or you can jump very high hold the girl whilst going upwards and land on the same building or another building, super powers needs heroes with a mind of a hero
...this has nothing to do with super strength. 0/10
I am typing this with y toung!!!!
Total badass
+Mr BenjiBoy - I'm assuming as such, seeing as he never responded to you...
very unique segment
Control and practice will solve the super strength problem, for the most part at least. The force humans can exert on objects ranges from 5000 newtons at the high end to bare fractions of newtons at the low end. It wouldn't happen overnight, obviously, but with practice you could easily live a fairly normal life, even with 1000x strength or greater.
Hahahahahahaha 1000 times 0 equals 0
Wow, these videos get worse and worse.
No kidding.
Totally agree
you keep watching um, lol. life is exciting isn't it?
Nope, its just hope. But our hope was wrong. And also the feel to correct , criticize and/or warn the world about these :P
Ninja Saltman You didn't correct anything! Also, how can you warn someone about a video they just watched???
Ironically, before this video, I got an ad for a movie about a guy who's invisible
Those sound effects were great
you can have the door moving downwards as she lands on in slowing her fall a little bit.
The commentary is amazing👌
3:06
Actually if you are really careful and you have much larger build than her,
Then you can hold her and match her speed to drill into the ground while shielding till it's safe then
come back again.
I'm pretty sure I can exert 1/1000th the required strength to do day-to-day tasks.
So scaled up by x1000, I'm pretty sure day-to-day life for super-me is manageable.
I love this series ...do more do more more more
HOW COOL I LOVE THIS KIND OF VIDEO WITH PHYSICS DISCUSSION IN THE VIDEO
You can control your strength easily, and as for the victim falling, cradle her with your arms and/or door, and lower it trying to slow her descent, making the stop less sudden and reducing the force on her body.
Unless you jump to catch her since your muscles should be stronger and also be able to distribute the right amount of energy. Right us you jump you catch her, when you are falling try to find a building that is near you and change your trajectory to that building so that you don't fall all the way down then when you are there use your body as a way to make the fall less dangerous for the women and you should be fine since you would have 1000x your normal endurance.
I suggest jumping up to catch them and breaking the fall with your own strength...or something similar
2:37 I only thought about this video everytime we get to _those_ scenes in across the spider verse
Imagine having a seizure
I CAN STILL SEE YOUR SHADOW IN MY ROOM, CANT TAKE BACK THE WORDS THAT I GAVE YOU
Speaking as someone who actually has super strength… control is not a problem unless you have super speed as well,
It’s easy controlling your strength when you are moving slow… but with super speed you can’t move slow so all your strength comes out very fast
thanks for the video
1 I can pick up a soda can without crushing it, although I can crush it.
2 Be an airbag, you cannot stop her from breaking soemhting, If you extend your body fully with somehitng soft to catch her (maybe a giant marshmallow) then react to the force by letting it compress you, you can slow down the fall enough to increase her chance of survival.
This is more about saving a falling person than it is about super strength.
Also you’re using strength and force interchangeably. I would recommend you isolate the differences between different individuals who work out and who don’t. You might find that being let’s say 5 times stronger (an achievable goal) does not result in performing tasks that require touch five times more sensitive.
what if when she was falling and when she touch or nearly touched the door i quickly bring the door fast but not tooo fast to only slow down the sudden stop?
