Thanks for watching Super Nerds! *Link to last week's video* in case you missed it: ua-cam.com/video/1Pu934afVrM/v-deo.html -- kH
Because Science another Nuclear based episode. I really need to get my Father to sign up for a UA-cam account so he can start commenting.
In Russia there was a nuclear explosion, could you explain how dangerous it could be for us next to chernobyls disaster?
Hey Kyle Hill I've been enjoying the videos and all the hard work you put into them. I was wondering if you have any videos lined up about the Amazon show the boys? It's a dark comicbook show that really showcases what would really happen if superheros walked on Earth
You should do a video on if Dragon ball's "ki" could stop scanners (Medical scanners like X-rays, motion sensor cameras, and material detectors) from detecting you.
Request: Real Life applications of ADAM(Bioshock)
"Nature is much more resilient than that". In other words, "life, uh, finds a way". XD
Some will survive this covid19. Some dont. But human will finds a way
you forgot 3 more uh's
Perfect. A flawless comment. 👌
Evolution is a force that we can't totally control although we are a product of it.
Or that God gots this!
Kyle: "There's a Fungi that converts gamma radiation to energy"
Superman: *Stares intensely*
Who needs plants when our fungus photosynthesizes death rays?
Notice how Kyle doesn’t disagree with being compared to Thanos. It’s because he knows it’s a small price to pay for salvation.
But Thanos is the good guy!
Zoltán Végh Exactly though! Kyle is taking inspiration from him.
Kyle is inevitable.
But what will it cost?
@@MarginalSC We need Iron Commentator
Kyle: Fungi feeding on radiation
Me: GODZILLA IS OUT THEEEEERE!!!!
Exactly what I thought, *Fubuki 2019 theme plays in the background*
Thor: "An organism that eats radiation"
Bruce Banner: Seriously? There's no need to be mean.
Oh my god you are everywhere
Oh you again huh.
I've got a question for you, are you related to *Just Some Guy with a Mustache?*
1000 subs with no content I know right!
Laughs in Godzilla
Me: "No, being mean would be me saying your science is debunked"
How hard can Steve from Minecraft punch
You mean as he is able to punch stone hard enough to widle it down over a few seconds?
Enough to break diamond
Actually it can be any amount since he can punch mobs away with a running jump and knockback
It's hard to compare Steve from Minecraft to real humans in determining how hard he actually hits and there's too many theorists saying their own theories about the game to actually know how it all works so how hard does Steve hit if he can punch a tree with no problem and get a block of wood compared to a real human who ends up hurting person's fist then I would say that Steve can hit a tree at least a lot harder and faster than a human
Well Steve can walk around with somewhere between 44 million to 350 million kg of gold in his inventory without being slowed down or inconvenienced so I imagine he can punch pretty hard
Well technically Kyle, the tardigrade aren't lost on the moon. We know where they are: They're on the Moon.
By that logic no one is ever lost, you know where everyone is, they're on Earth
@@DanielRieger Exactly my thinking. When Master Chief was floating outside the solar system, we knew exactly where he was. Outside the solar system.
A bit like a tv remote. Even when lost you know it hasn’t left the house.
I found your location: probably not on sea.
TARDIGRADES IN SPAAAAACCCCEEEE

Hey, since I got a radio thrown at me recently and didn’t get so much as a bruise, does that mean I have higher radio resistance?
I hate that, but congrats
I appreciate this comment
Congratulations, you got my slight chuckle.
it proberly means ur an asshole :)
an apple a day keeps the doctor away, but have to throw it hard enough
Interesting thing when it comes to the spread of radiation from Chernobyl; in a mushroom guide from early 2000s (originally like from 2000, the edition in question from like 2011) there was a section about the effect of radiation from Chernobyl. It talked about which areas of Sweden still had mushrooms that picked up radioactive material, recommendations on how much you can eat without significant health effects, how some mushrooms from those areas were too radioactive to be allowed to be sold, and how boiling the mushrooms could significantly reduce the amount of radiation.
Iirc there's a mineral that mushrooms absorb that's very similar to some of the fallout from Chernobyl, which leads the mushrooms to absorb the radioactive material. Which when I think about it is quite similar to CO poisoning (although to my knowledge it doesn't have an adverse effect on the mushrooms).
Unfortunately the book does not belong to me, so I'm woefully unable to cite my sources atm.
9:20 It also helps that they cleaned the _hell_ out of many roadways...
Also, Godzilla is a giant walking fungus. Science proves it. Don't fight me on this.
Don't tell me what I should or shouldn't do, you're not my dad!
@@Hanatash you should fight him.
@@Hanatash how do you know he's not your dad??
@@Hanatash how do i know you're not my dad?
Science proves Godzilla is actually a mammal. Step in the ring.

I sent Jeremy Wade an email back in 2009 and he responded graciously as well. Really nice and humble person. Keep up the videos fellow science nerd!
That Felicity comparison... I cannot unsee it now.
The Manhattan project created doctor Manhattan. Don't mess around Kyle, of course he could destroy the atmosphere
lolmaster \_UwU_/
ya
Drones? With scissors? Somebody call Simone Giertz
Simone already knows, she invented the concept ;)
Oh man. I laughed so much at this follow up. There were so many moments where I just laughed out loud. Kyle, you’re awesome. Thanks for being you.
Here a comment for you my fellow nerd
F**k you hahahaha
Kyle why not do a video on the feasibility of the fusion and Fission reactors of Gundam.
Or the degeneracy reactors from Gunbuster.
Evil Kyle is becoming one of my favorites Kyle's personas!🤷🏻♂️
when he grows a Spock like goatee start worrying.
That's him
Kyle, aka "Evil Bat-Thor", continues his research to destroy humanity, in the following episode: "How to turn the air into a fused exploding death".
Love the show XD
All of this is leading up to Kyle raging war on Earth from his void
That Clarkson impression was spot on. And yes, I also thought that was a silly episode, wasting all that energy to avoid having to drive through a parfectly safe area of Chernobyl.
8:28 Perhaps if Felicity grew some facial hair, went to the gym and came up with some laughable yet cheesy jokes then YES she would share striking resemblance.
.
“Or moss piglets if you’re nasty” 😂 lmao I just love this channel
*_[pictures Mosswine from Monster Hunter]_* 🤔🤔🤔
"There will be places we will never boldly go" ..... thank you for crushing my dreams 😭
Why? Where ever you go there you are.
Although I'd like to point out that Star Trek rarely tried going outside of our own galaxy. There's plenty to discover right where we are
@@meganofsherwood3665 we are (Milky way and Andromeda) are in a super void. Once intergalactic travel is possibe, it would hopefully allow us to cross the void into super clusters that hopefully are teaming with life. Problem is, our limited human life spans and if warp will be possible. But even so, the statistical odds of us finding compatible life (comradeship) outside of our own improved as we cross the void. I think that is a great purpose to strive for as a species.
@@mr702s I'm game for that!
again thanks so much for more of these real world science questions!! keep up the amazing work
HAMMOND!
That made me chuckle. Thanks, Kyle.
Can you defeat Superman if you place him at the bottom of the ocean? Sense theres no light and crushing pressure?
He could just fly up to the surface at close to the speed of light vaporizing water as he goes
He doesn’t need permanent light sources, and the punny bottom of the ocean type pressures wouldn’t even make him break a sweat
Maybe at the center of the sun, there are some serious pressures. But you’re also feeding him UNLIMITED (~) power...
@Adequate Bros. I think the golden superman you are referring to is super prime 1 million. Apparently he lived in the sun for a thousand years or something
@@freezingfire1800
He did. If Supes (even Silver Age) wasn't a "God" before that...he certainly was afterward.
1:25 Kyle you should try LUDACRIS speed, much more scientific.
WHAT
NOT LUDICROUS SPEED
THAT'S TOO FAST SIR
hehe
I love Spaceballs
here is the trailer
ua-cam.com/video/dQw4w9WgXcQ/v-deo.html
Ludicrous Speed is beyond what mere humans can accomplish, You must be one with the schwartz in order to master it
But I don't look good in plaid.
I'm a Mog. Half man, half dog. Hehe, I'm my own best friend! (RIP John Candy)
But then we wouldn't get to see that episode for a week and a half.
That sigh at 12:39 really sums up the interwebs experience
Lol I can never unsee the felicity smoke comparison. You have a great sense of humor and run a great show. Keep doing your thing Kyle! We love you
Please do a video on the logistics and feasibility of both building and racing on Rainbow Road, thank you
Chernobyl is being saved because of phytoremediation.
The DOD use trees to mitigate nuclear burial sites.
Also, because of aneuploidy, trees do get “two-headed” so to speak.
The shirt fitting bit at the start of the video was perfect.
That Picard maneuver joke was funny af XD
River Monsters is awesome
The Goliath Tiger Fish is awesomely terrifying -- seriously, watch the episode of it. That thing is *_savage_*
FDA Organic food still uses raidiogenic mutagenesis rather than precision editing, in fact...
You watched river monsters and wrote to him too, so cool.
Now I need to watch that episode I missed.
It’s definitely one of the best ones
The kids are going to love this. Thank you Kyle and the rest of the Because Science team.
Fungi that use radiation to produce energy? Awesome, now if it becomes bioluminescent then we can make a game theory that all the glowing mushrooms in Skyrim are signs of Nirn being hyper iradiated
Treat the radiotrophic fungi story with a MASSIVE MOUNTAIN of salt, last time I checked there were very few papers on this, just from one group, and their results were... sketchy. The effect, if it really was there, was VERY weak.
That lends a lot to the theory that skyrim is a post fallout world after further and further mutation of creatures and magic being a result of radiation, like argonians and dragons have evolved from deathclaws and other lizards and khajiit evolved from normal cats, orcs are evolved supermutants, and normal humans slowly split into sub species because of mutation variety being increased by radiation, this results in elves, nords and imperials, and other such sub species, we're talking billions of years in future, the theory also says that magic is a result of radiation and the technology of fallout evolving, but that seems less plausible, anyway yea its crazy shit
Nirn is a Dreamworld.
@@corey8704 or is it the glowing sea after climate change? I don't care if the theories are ridiculous, they're fun XD
Hop over to the other big BGS franchise and Fallout 4 has mushrooms in the ruins of Boston and the surrounding area that glow green.
Even the astronauts on the ISS are under the Sun's weather 🤷♂️
That's more solar weather. I think he meant getting above the clouds kind of weather.
There was no specification 🤷♂️
So... we are all under the weather?
"Under" is relative to gravity. For solar weather, the weather would always be under you since the sun weighs more.
Isn't it more relative to the surface of an object and it's atmosphere? Granted, the Sun doesn't really have an atmosphere in the traditional sense, but solar weather does extend throughout the solar system. In a weird way we aren't even in the Sun's outer atmosphere when you consider the extent of its solar wind and storms
I love how goofy Kyle is sometimes and I like to think it's unintentional. Really likable guy.
dude river monsters was such a big thing of my childhood and the fact that you acgtually messaged him is so amazing!! jeremy wade himself is awesome too
You made one mistake Kyle. You just revealed your super villain plan of igniting the atmosphere on fire.
Well played.
OMG -- I just realized that Kyle is Zaphod Beeblebrox.
@Alan Hardcastle He only blew up the Earth because he was in debt to a consortium of high powered psychiatrists.
I earned points with my microbiology professor when I told him about the radiotrophic fungi. In the presence of high energy radiation they have a 4x increased ability to reduce NAD+
My buddies and I (all in the Army) long ago crafted a theory that Jeremy Wade was actually a former member of the SAS and now works for MI-6 with River Monsters just being a cover for him to get into “hot spots” and hard to get places (ie he’s done episodes from the Congo to Israel to Venezuela. It made watching the show even more entertaining coming up with conspiracy theories while watching him fish lol
Opening is technically wrong. A TNG episode showed a way to travel to the farthest points of the universe in seconds, though they were not able to replicate it without the Traveler...yet. The fastest a warp drive can go under those circumstances was practally teleportation, making Ludicrous Speed look like a slow motion replay 😂🤣🤡
No, fast forward. In fact, never show this again.
_Voyager_ had numerous ways of traveling faster than warp 9.999, hence why they were able to get home in only seven years instead of 75. The chart includes only warp-drive, not alien technologies-though it didn't include Tom Paris' trans-warp (warp 10).
@@user-vn7ce5ig1z
Aye. That Roadrunner Thrust & Slignshot maneuver around a Black Hole would dramatically help.
The thing is I think we could invent the TARDIS before the Warp Drive.
Go as fast as you like the bald headed Deltans still aren't going to take advantage of no sexually immature species.
Be long and pointy ...or something 🖖
Fungi: Man, after that explosion it’s hard to survive
Fungi: *Yo I be eating this now*
Yay footnotes. And I actually got on the comments just after the video posted. Ok question time. Do you have a show schedule? I can never seem to catch the live videos “live”
That explanation for how big space really is is one of the best I've heard
So, smashing particles in the large hadron collider. Cool.
0:50 that calculation is very interesting does it takes in consideration time dilation, I mean the faster you go the less you age, so is there any scenario where you could go fast enough to go from one end of the known universe to the other? you know in the same just because human fashion that has commanded many pointless endeavors like the first around the world non-stoping flight?
amazing content
That's for traveling at relativistic speeds. "Warp drives" and "warp speed" are different, as you are not actually moving at a great speed, but rather _warping_ the fabric of spacetime around yourself. Look up the Alcubierre drive for a theoretical example (if I am not mistaken, this is actually what Star Trek warp drives are based off of).
If you were able to walk through a wormhole, that would technically be going at "warp speed."
Thanx for the great shows Kyle
Lol I figured out the next episode from the hint at the beginning. Can't wait it sounds awesome!
Radiation eating fungi? Sounds like Nausicaa of the valley of the wind.
Ohmu when?
Hey felicity is goooorgeous id take it as a compliment 😂
This was uploaded on my birthday. How did I miss this?!
I did the seed irradiation thing in college. I ended up with a squash plant that grew upside down, as in its sense of gravity was upside down. Useless, but interesting.
Should’ve cultivated a farm of Australia’s first right-side up squash.
We found an organism that eats radiation!
*Godzilla: hold my plutonium*
For a second there I thought you were gonna say '16 times the detail'.
This series of videos got me reading up on the Chernobyl accident. In my reading, I was shocked to find out that the other reactors at the plant were actually in use until 2000, 14 years after the accident. They were all shut down for only like 18 months after the accident before they started Reactor 1 back up. It had just never occurred to me.
I always liked the way John Scalzi does space travel in "old Mans War"
Yes you do look like Felicity!! Hahaha
After all this time still waiting for a full episode on The Guyver Bio-Booster Armor...
I'd love Kyle's take on how those titty cannons produce so much power and how a wheel of alien flesh can mutate into a living exoskeleton lol
Or an episode on the reactors of Gundam.
Heh. Jeremy Wade reference ftw. "River Monsters with Jeremy Wade" is an absolute gem. You all MUST watch that series, it's fantastic.
If Crispr is fixing a typo in a sentence, eradiation is using a letter scrambler to fix it.
Kyle: *makes another phone call*
Me: *squinting intensifies*
I love you Kyle
Finally the only question that I wanted to be answeres so badly
Hey Kyle! I absolutely love this channel. Is there possibly a chance of a video pertaining to Dark Energy and Universal Expansion? Thanks!
turns playback speed to 2.0

When you're doing the low pitched voice like when you're calling for drones to cut his beard you remind me of Ryan Reynolds.
Two things. In the FFA (Future Farmers of America) class room there was a stuffed sheep with two heads. The teacher's friend had delivered it and it only lived for like a few hours.
As for the radiated crops that explains the report I read about in a newspaper how our fruits and vegetables only have half the nutritional content of the goods our parents and grandparents were consuming in the 1940's and 50's. Also why so many fruits taste like wax paper or worse.
11:00 when you say this part, is it like smacking piece of stone with a sledgehammer, versus smacking a piece of glass with a sledgehammer, where, you can mess up a slab of stone, but it’s a lot easier to do it to a glass pane?
Kyle is a weird mix of Wade Wilson, Felicity Smoke and Thor
Remember in GI Joe how COBRA gathered up DNA from all sorts of Tyrants and historic leaders to make Serpentor? Well they did the same with Kyle. In addition to the 3 you mention there are also bits of Jeff Goldblum, Adam Savage, Bill Nye, Groucho Marx and Grizzly Adams.
The irony of the Because Science sticker on your computer is not lost on us, *KYLE*
Lol. Anyway, your videos are somewhat enjoyable, no point in telling you that though *Because Science* cares not for opinions.
thanks? -- kH
@@becausescience i think he was implying science is "bs".
@@jeffgrencik7213 I think he was more talking about bitwit, a tech news channel hosted by a guy named Kyle
One of the original "radiation = huge critters" was in the movie "Them". Great movie, gave 11-yr old me nightmares.
First time viewer & instant subscriber. Very informative. Going to watch these with my grandkids.
How come Xena’s chakram doesn’t slice her hand open when she’s using it?
Calluses?
The same way you can half-sword with sharp swords or do a mordhau (grab the blade and hit someone with the pommel)
I'd recommend Skallagrim's video on the subject he demonstrates it pretty well.
David Bodor but she catches it as it's spinning super fast. It would be slicing
@@peterosborne8315 Inside is blunt. Some versions even have a handle inside.
@@peterosborne8315 Well, she is supposed to be somewhat superhuman isn't she? She could hold the sides of the chakram when catching it and not touching the inside of the hand.
The point is, even with warp speed, rush-hour traffic is going to make your morning commute an hour when it should have been 15 minutes.
that felicity smoke bit was hilarious
"Or moss miss piglet if you're nasty."
Why do I love this sentence so much?!
Kyle Hill: I am here to bestow upon you knowledge so that you may grow and understand!
Kyle Hill when asked about how he does his on-screen writing: YOU MAY ASK NO MORE QUESTIONS, I SHALL TELL YOU *_NOTHING!_*
GOOD DAY SIR!
Sorry Kyle, the Hacksmith gave away your secret to how you draw. I only had to mention that I wondered how and he replied to tell me it's a sheet of glass you're drawing on mixed with some post-production to animate it.
He also flipps it in post so it looks correct from our side
That Random Guy Yurp the whole video is just a mirror image. If you pause when he is drawing you can frequently see “expo” on the markers is mirrored.
@@thatrandomguy9841 You're right. He draws with what looks like his left hand in most videos, but gestures with and holds his pens in his right hand in footnotes videos, so he must be right handed and just flipping it.
They had a special live stream once where at the very beginning they showed Kyle drawing with it unflipped for a min or two
Drones! With scissors... my god that had me practically crying from laughter, excellent work.
The comics have tried to update with the times. The original Spider-Man origin had the spider affected by radiation experiments. The more recent adaptations, both on Peter and Miles, use genetically-modified spiders. The Hulk used to be created from gamma radiation mutation. Later, Dr. Banner and Reed Richards suspected their radiation exposures just activated something that was already there (probably the changes the Celestials did that lead to the potential of (X-men style) mutants).
I mean kyle has told us why we don't want many kinds of super powers but why we don't want to be as a thor.. huh?
I think his super plan is to create Thor as the ultimate and the only one superhero
So , standing next to Super Saiyan Goku will give me a fatal dosage of radiation right ?
BDL obviously
"We're gonna shave it " Holy crap! I laughed so loud outside, that my neighbor stopped trimming his hedges to see what was going on. Your awesome!
Radioactivity and Fungi. My two favorite things in one video. Keep up the good work super nerds and Because Science. 😁
Do you think you could do an explanation on something Jojo-related? Maybe Hamon or Stands?
A good thing that Star Trek (hardly ever) leave the Milky Way galaxy
Why go out when there's still so much to do and see here?
*chuckles in Q*
I think it's so cool seeing info about Chernobyl blowing up (ha) all over the internet right now, thanks to the HBO series i'm assuming. I am an undergrad at UofSC who works in Dr.Mousseau's lab, who authored a couple of the papers in your description in the original video. I mostly look through data collected from trailcams used to track population statistics AKA i creep on animal's private lives all day. We also do research on Fukushima and some land here in SC that was contaminated by nuclear waste dumping prior to modern environmental protection laws.
0:46 To be honest. Jumping from exploring earths orbit to exploring a hand full of galaxies is more than enough advancement at once.
I legitimately have been watching star trek TNG all day - unhook yourself from my television, sinister fiend kyle!
And if I may kyle, the shirt doesnt fit; BECAUSE SCIENCE
You mentioned the water bears lost in space great job
Hello I do enjoy watching your video you made it easy to understand
Awesome show, love it. Say just a quick one, can you go into detail regarding impulse, and the impulse-momentum relationship please I'm using it to create an equation with regards to martial arts. Thanks in advance if you get around to me. If not, keep up the awesome work :)
