Every death chance is measured in shark attack chances...
I see that everywhere to ...lol
+Buddy Jesus An attempt to make people stop worrying so much about being killed by a shark.
+Buddy Jesus Because unfortunately everybody is afraid of being eaten by a shark :(
+Buddy Jesus
actually, only three people died from shark attacks in 2014 :'D
+Buddy Jesus that or being hit by lightning
I added annotations with the metric conversions. I'll include them baked into the video next time!
+Vsauce3 as always, thanks for caring!
+Vsauce3 i feel like it's healthy to have a metoriod hit earth once in a while dont know why but maybe
+Dean Calaway Yes exactly. In the same way in the Elite Dangerous universe your ship can travel 1000x the speed of light without the improbability or natural physical effects that would incur in reality.
+Vsauce3 46,027.2 km/s should be km/h
What is the name of the ending song?
5:33 R.I.P egypt
Banankaffe xD rip
Banankaffe :( my country
Rip egypt and arab gulf and maka
Oh, come on, no asteroid would hit Egypt because pyramids are spiky.
Banankaffe oof xD
Why do meteors always land in craters?
Ik ur a troll but this triggers me
+Wafflez the Great You spelled atheist wrong and what is that supposed to mean
spelling it wrong actually made it more fun since creationists are usually partially illiterate
They always leave some kind of mark
Carmicha3l Evolution is trial and error, no intelligent design involved
Ok that editing was sexy 2:42
david!!!!!
+DavidParody Haha, thank you!
I know!!!
+DavidParody Jake isn't human. He's a 3D model using the newest graphics engine planned for use in video games.
yash
Great job jake the team.
specially with the editing.
and as always thank you!
+abdi ali Thanks so much!
+abdi ali I see you alot on testtube.
It almost feels like... Like you're watching me...
+abdi ali Abdi ali again... geez...
Thanks chocolate man
1:57 I like how he used the atomic bomb test to explain the impact.made things a lot easier to understand.
You've graduated the school of common Sense and Logic. Congrats.
The overall quality and production of Vsauce3 is just too impressive, how many people work on Vsauce3??
Marco Salgado about 20 I think , the overall quality is way higher than other UA-cam videos and about cinematic quality
Better than Vsauce
Look at Mind Field for example, or Vsauce 2 lately. All 3 (V3 Included) have way WAY better quality videos than the rest of UA-cam in my opinion, so well made and professional.
"You're more likely to die from an asteroid impact than from a shark attack"
Dude, you're more likely to die from anything than from a shark attack
Hell, you're more likely to die from eating a taco than from a shark attack.
Sharks need to step up their game.
haha
+Steve Mitchell actually he didn't make a typo.
+Steve Mitchell oh ok
+Savage Pizza “The Legend Of Hyrule” Wants Lovin you are 100 times more likely to get killed by a toilet than a shark
+Savage Pizza “The Legend Of Hyrule” Wants Lovin You're more likely to get crushed by a vending machine than killed by a shark attack.
Hope you like this! It was really fun trying a bit of a different style. Thanks for watching!
+Vsauce3 Hi Jake.
+Vsauce3 nice memes
Nice!
Wow this was great. Can't wait for the other two jake! Great job
+Vsauce3 Was really great Jake!
I love this series so much!!
I really enjoyed this kind of 'hands on' active approach to these extreme science videos and great information
This new "extreme science" is intriguing.
I agree
+As You Were Reading My Very Long Username I Stole Your Sandwich Love the name XD
It's scary but still amazing how powerless we are to the will of space.
+Joshua Richardson We are almost completely powerless about earth's major forces (super volcanoes, massive scale earthquakes etc ) that are way more scary and far more likely to happen during our lifetime.
We may never even get close to efficiently protect ourselves from what the vastness of space has in store.
+Joshua Richardson Where is Jean-Luc Picard when we need him?
Love the way you phrased that
+Fadestrider Maybe one day we won't be though.
+Fadestrider Yeah, we can't really stop earthquakes or volcanoes eruptions from happening. All we can do is try an minimize the damage for when they do happen.
0:50 about the length of a blue whale. "Another thing that got forgotten was the fact that against all probability a sperm whale had suddenly been called into existence several miles above the surface of an alien planet. And since this is not a naturally tenable position for a whale, this poor innocent creature had very little time to come to terms with its identity as a whale before it then had to come to terms with not being a whale any more."
I forgot about that XD lol
That sounds like Terry Pratchett
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?
oh no not again
I have always wanted to see you doing science and space videos great vid!
100% of all shark attacks happen in or near water
#PointlessStats
+wacka Reminds me of gumball.
+George Rogers the rally?
+wacka 100% of people who consumed water will die.
#PointlessStats
you would be resorted to 99% if some freak event occured. (sharknado. etc) +wacka
+wacka 100% of serial killers have come into contact with water.
this guy never ceases to amaze me 😄
you 🙌😘
+Mikayla Snow Its the snow cone girl!
+Mikayla Snow I think you havent seen the original Vsause
Go watch some of Vsauces videos. Both Jake and Michael are great though, I think that is their names.
+ZettabyteGamer Don't forget Kevin!
i like this type of format and want this to continue. make it happen jake...please
Heck yea--Jake and Popular Science?! Fantastic series, cinematography and visualizations included. You definitely deserve that pride sir!
Love the video... Is this the set for the time travel paradox video?
That's what I thought too!!!
+T train66 Haha I had that same thought too!
SOMEBODY BUY ME JAKE'S GALAXY TSHIRT THANKS
Make me a sandwich first
someone buy me his shirt too!
+Dinesh RP Woah I didn't realize we were still using 2007's humor.
+niasci, it's cuz I'm using a brain made in the 90s
+niasci He has a point though.
You guys should do more of this!!
I was looking for visual graphics when you talked about the differences between meteors, meteorites, etc. This is great though! Thanks!
Can we send a space craft with life in it and eventually crash into a planet and form life?
+Chea Resan theoretically It should be possible....
iStarAmv v awesome!! :D
+Chea Resan why not, let's do it! :D
Dick Butt yea!!
+Chea Resan The only life we could send would be life that we already have on Earth, and none of the planets in our solar system that we've discovered so far are habitable by life forms from Earth without some degree of modification to the way of living on that planet. So we could send life, but unless it somehow found a planet somewhere with similar conditions to what we have on Earth, the life would die pretty quickly.
What would happen if the moon at a few miles an hour crashed into Earth? Would it maintain it's shape or would it crumble, and how so would it react? I'm almost certain everything would be killed from their two gravities pulling everything together.
Say that it was just placed touching the earth somewhere in a desert, would we be able to jump in the air and stay up for longer if we were near it from it's pull?
I don't know who is interrested in this?
+Lieutenant Capellini The moon would probably melt due to all that mass so close to the earth.
Once the moon would pass within the Roche limit of the Earth, it would would start to tear apart due to gravity! :^)
+Lieutenant Capellini if it even get close, tides would rise causing flood, most of earth would be under water before it hits
And the other side would be dryer that the antarctic.
megajimmyfive true
This is fricking awesome! I need more!
I love this Channel so much
"This episode is going to be a little bit different." Jake all your videos are different and unique, which is why I love them :D
Wish I had a friend like you
I wish i had a frend.
+Robsu Blibk frend? What is this frend you are talking about?
Me 2
+Robsu Blibk dont worry, maybe i can make you happier with a present!!! want some chocolate??!?!?!?!
Yesss
Dude, love your vids!
We need more extreme science its awesome to watch
Let me guess Jake, you've been reading Seveneves haven't you? If not, then definitely do. The first part of the book is all about catastrophic meteors entering the atmosphere. Also for those intrigued, small spoiler ahead revealing the origin of the meteors. It is revealed super early but still.
.
.
.

.

The meteors hitting Earth are shards of the now fragmented Moon.
really good read
LeeAnn Reichard I haven't finished the book yet but I can't stop reading it. It's insane.
I love it sooo much! But it takes forever to read :(
+Volvary I listened to the audio book ..... it was well read and very enjoyable, now i'm going to have to listen to it again LOL
Roberto Alvarenga Did you even read my post?
If life comes from an asteroid,
we´re all aliens.
+ilov3mus1cx3 not really, the aliens that we talk about are life forms born or grown os another planet, we were all born here (that we know of) but yea we have a alien ancestor that evolved.
+ilov3mus1cx3 Donald Trump would say we should deport life from this planet then, because it is reaping the resources of this great planet.
+SykoSkwerl99 I thought he was talking about illegal mexicans
+Dan k Donald Trump believes Mexicans came on an asteroid.
+B00MZ00M he doesnt know cuz he aint a mexican...
We need more of this on the internet. Thanks!
You were right to be proud of this episode it was awsome
0:55 Someone screwed up their units.
Jake says 28,600 MPH. Text says 46,027.2 km/s. That's just...what? Those are so far apart it's crazy.
ACTUAL conversion: 28,600 MPH would be about equal to 12,800 m/s or 46,000 km/h, both rounded to 3 sig-figs. Although, without rounding, you get 46,027.2 km/h...so there's your error.
Just to play around with it some more, 46,027.2 km/s would convert to 1.66e8 km/h or 1.02e8 MPH. Also, it would be 15.35% the speed of light. A meteor that big going that fast would make the earth stop existing in a single piece and start existing in several thousand pieces.
The moral of the story is: GET YOUR UNITS RIGHT! (You kids in school wonder why you get docked for omitting units in your answer? There's why.)
+Manabender I dind't notice that until you said something. That... That's a BIG difference. I think a meteor of that size, going that fast, would make a noticeable dent in just about ANYTHING it ran into.
My honda goes faster than that vtech wooooo!
55 mph =88 kpm....thats aprox. Butte usefull
They got the diameter units wrong too. It's not 1,200 ft wide, it's 1,200 m wide = ~4000 ft or 3/4 mile.
If theres a crater after a meteor where does the meteor go
Lunch....???
Nice! Getting to work with PopSci is great!
dude ur soo good in making these vids
I'm loving that shirt doe
So... do we come from an asteroid that crash into earth?
+Milenos Exactly. What. I. Was. Thinking. XD
+Milenos We come from bacteria that had evolved over millions of years, though in a sense, yes.
When a planet is born, it's essentially a big ball of lava, created from friction in the protoplanetary cluster. It cooled over time, and was struck by asteroids containing large amounts of water, which turned into earth's oceans.
We can't say for certain when or which one did it, but with water, comes life.
And there you have it, the real life Ark.
***** I understand that, but i mean do we come from an asteroid that hit the earth after the earth already formed. Like those giant meteor that destroyed most of life on earth multiple time in earth history.
Milenos
As I said, exactly when is a bit foggy.. the bacteria was likely there before dinosaurs were eliminated, but Humans were not realized until after the meteor wiping them out. It's not a matter of "this meteor contains human bacteria" or anything like that, merely the meteor contained ambiguous bacteria that evolved differently in different climates.
Looking at fossil records, humans were around a few million years after the end of the dinos, but it being from a meteor is very unlikely.
You should do more extreme science. My favourite videos so far
Rewatching Vsauce videos for nostalgic memories
it was goku & freeza
Lol.
Drāno drain cleaner FREZZA
Lol
Frieza
Hahaha
(Reads title) Ahem, I think you mean XTREME SCIENCE!!!!11!!
Congrats on the team-up Jake.
You always do such an amazing job with your videos, :)
This year 7 people have died from sharks so does that mean that around 12 people have died from asteriods?
Or meteorites**
+William Engel MORE LIKELY
If you're so smart answer me this! Why do meteors always land in craters?
+Yasin Nouri Through the science of magic
XD
+Yasin Nouri oh god...
Haha
tehy mkae crtaers
perfect i want more as soon as possible
I need that t-shirt!!!! Where can I buy one?
I always get so frustrated when I see things like animations of how the dinosaurs became extinct, yet they show a planet with continents where they are today, whilst back then they were merged, called Pangea.
ok
Pangea was around during the Triassic and the dinosaurs died at the end of the Cretaceous
+Manny Calavera Pangaea started to break apart over 100 million years before dinosaurs went extinct.
Pangea did not exist when the dinosaurs went extinct, even though the dinosaurs aren't extinct...
+Monachus Bibe illuminati confirmed
I like how every video leaves a message you have to think about.
Awesome vid, really enjoyed it. Thanks.
OMG TRD, IM THINKING SUPRA
Ayyyyyy. Pls.
"It was still able to blow out windows..."
Cool!
"...and injure over a thousand people."
...Oh.
Dead or alive?
Ceres is my favorite celestial body in our solar system, I’m so glad he mentioned it!
AWSOME editing!
I have to watch this for homework lol
Hope you pointed out the alien base inside the crater at 4:08. They forgot to turn on their cloaking field!
but wouldnt the life on the astroid die due to the heat?
Think he meant more the precursors that life would need. Carbon and other such things.
Not in the case of extremiphiles. Organisms that can survive extreme temperatures, like the Sea Bear.
+Nikki Seven Solos That phenomena is a separate theory altogether. Panspermia literally refers to living matter arriving on a space-borne object.
+Just sub to me dont ask questions Some meteorites are actually very cold when they land because they've been in the coldness of space. The outside of a meteor obviously gets very hot, but a microbe or spore could survive inside of it (in theory.)
+Just sub to me dont ask questions Panspermia is pretty stupid if you ask me. While it's a fantastic and cool idea to think about, it still doesn't answer the question of where did life come from. In fact it makes answering that question even harder because where did the life on the astroid come from?
I love your complex editing! yet you make it almost invisible for the audience to notice. Also what camera do you use? the quality is phenomenal. Thanks Vsauce3
I love all of your videos they are just too interesting....
what if humans are actually the evolved bacteria from the meteor that hit earth and created the moon
_Fr0stb1te_ Frozen in ice perhaps.. Google 'extremophiles'
Moon Man The "meteor" that hit earth and created the moon was likely a planet the size of Mars, called Theia. It's suspected there were many more planets (some estimate as many as 24) in our solar system long ago. It is however unlikely that life came to earth in that contact between the two planets, seen as the subsequent temperatures on earth would've left it nearly impossible for single cell life or even extremophiles to survive.
Twiglilly 😨 😱😱 so, we are.... bacterias ????
Fidel Garcia seeing these comments.... you are completely right 😵🙍🙇
Moon Man it is possiblr
How much is a feet? How much is a mile? =/ Please put subtitles when you say those measures!
+Darren Kennedy yup
already watched the vifeos on extreme science. really fun videos.
really good work man
It seems a lot of people here want Jake's shirt.
the simbiot venom came on an asteroid right???
pretty sure
😂😂😂😂 and we were bacterias 😮 😱🐛🐉🐍
Love the new style. TV worthy
I’ve been there and it’s so awesome. After watching this I definitely wanna go back now
Wow, I'm early... What should I say? Meow
+Aarontti WOOF!
Uhhh... Moo?
Squawk! ... Bark
RAPE! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
+Aarontti GET LAID GET PAID GATORADE
You’re more likely to die from an asteroid than a shark
Hold up
Checkout the Rock Elm metorite impact near Rock Elm, WI. This impact was less obvious for geologists to spot. It was roughly 4 miles wide when it hit 450-490 million years ago. It left behind an unusual looking mix of minerals that can still be spotted on the surface at Nugget Lake Park; although the most interesting things are most likely buried well below the surface. Also, Reidite was discovered at this location. "Reidite is a very rare mineral created when zircon undergoes high pressure and temperatures. It is commonly associated with meteorite impacts."
I like how the Manhattan Project clips are shown. I honestly think it would be, like, 10 times stronger of the strongest nuke yet to be tested.
Right. The very first official nuclear test. Now, Russia and China have 500 megaton nuclear warheads. Hope Trump gets along with the world well.
ム丹ムモ爪モ丹刀 Troll.
@@gagemead27 4 years late, but this is so presumptuous. Not even American, but can tell you now, Russia does NOT have 500 megaton warheads. The largest ever detonated was only 50, and after that, the project was made redundant. They got the outcome they wanted, and in fact, was only half the size of the originally intended. Russia do care about fallout, and how it can affect the land and them, despite what you read about Chernobyl. They scrapped the project after realising it was far too dangerous to make nuclear bombs like the one they did.
I want that shirt, and the pizza shirt.
Where do I get\?
What's the music at the end of the video? :D

Wow that was the best vid ever!!!! 10 out of 10
Luved the vid!
Imagine a meteorite the size of earth hitting us. It could happen any second
You'd see that coming from literally light years away.
Raze what if it wasn't close to any suns? It just floated towards us in the darkness of space. You'd only start to see it once it got past saturn
It'd be a planet, not a meteorite. And planets don't really work like meteorites/comets.....at all.
Meteorite/asteroid can be as big as the planet cause earth isn't all that big compared to other planets in the solar system there just has to be a big enough sun to explode and wipe out other massive planets and cause them to collide with other planets and that would cause a massive meteorite. Remember it's space, a planet can be as big as you can imagine for all we know same with asteroids.
ultraboy222 we may notice it but we wouldnt be able to stop it. and it could of came from another solar system and cane frin there millions of years ago. things could of exploded long before we existed and earth could get the debris any tine
Take the image in the thumbnail and turn it upside down. It'll look like a plateau instead of a crater. ;)
Nissan Karki with a big shadow
This reminded me a lot of Bill Nye's videos as a kid. Awesome!
Jake is like the greatest Rage On! T-shirt advertisement walking! He's the reason I brought a ton of stuff from there. Just sucks that they don't have the pokemon top any more, Pokemon had to sue and ruin everyone's fun!
If anybody worries, don’t worry! Saitama is there to help us!
lol using nuke footage instead
daniel Eagle yeah cuz astroid impact footage is very easy to obtain.
Silver Hedgehog I know right, oh hold up gotta record this asteroid that is approaching fast
@@sealstealer5007 brother im just gonna go ahead and record Chicxulub while im at it too.
Anyone wondering, that was the Barringer Crater about 30 miles south of flagstaff. If you ever get the chance you need to see it for yourself.
i want more of these
What would happen if A meteor crashed into water? Same results or different?
(Edit)) I mean meteor's and Asteroids
Aito A tsunami would ensue. Watch a movie called Deep Impact...
Why talk in feet and miles?
+Stat Statakaka Because that is what his target audience understands? The target audience of this program (the Popular Science one, not Vsauce3) is the average American. Not scientists, not people from other countries. Imperial measurements is all they could relate too, having only a passing knowledge at best of metric.
#METRICSYSTEMMASTERRACE
+Stat Statakaka because his main public is american people.
Because here in Murica they've tried and tried but like nobody wants to change to the metric system it doesn't make any sense
nice one bro , ! i like the way u explain keep up
i like this thanks jake! :)
Name of the song at the end?

Yay I couldn't watch these in Australia on the pop sci website and now I can 😀
Awesome! Great Job.
Dusty divot anyone?
Bigzegla fortnite has become a mental desease
Talking about fortnite? I'm in
Bigzegla just drop I got epic rpg
Bigzegla ME TO
Bigzegla but where day base in the middle?
Rip tilted
Of course
Pretty sure Ayreon made a few albums about that meteor carrying life. And it’s good stuff.
Love ur videos... Thank you for being awesome
Anyone here because of that Fortnite Meteorite theory?
The size of this explosion seems to be about the length of Tilted Towers.
LORD YT bruh hahaah I'm😂😂😂😂
Lol
It landed
The kids figures were wrong. It's 3/4 of a mile wide, this is common knowledge and documented in the museum there.
LORD YT yeah I did
