I don't think you can make a real life plot device
+Doctor lol
+Black Jesus and how is that funny..
Do you even know that Lol means Laugh Out Loud..or as you laughing..out..loud??
FrostyGamer12
what the hell
+Doctor thats what they said about flying machines 200 years ago. now those are a common way of transportation for long distances.
BuzzKill
Bruce Drinkwater. What a great name he has.
+elitebelt
I call bullshit. He made that up.
"Huh? Name? Um..."
(Looks around room. Sees Bruce Lee poster and drinking glass with water.)
"Bruce... Drink... water."
+Fervidor looked bruce Drinkwater up. he exists. and is involved with ultrasonic testing.
Not as great as Willie Tap'er
It's sounds like something the Hulk would say. "Bruce drink water now"
sounds like some name for a viking
*Wibbly-Wobbly, Timey-Wimey Stuff
hahaha read my mind
I was triggered so hard
David Tennant was the best
Dude, I love it when you do Doctor Who stuff. I had a roommate who loved sci-fi but couldn't get into Doctor Who because he thought it wasn't based in real science. These videos show that some things in the show could be possible in the real world, and I love it
The real question here is Can you build a real working TARDIS (ง°ل͜°)ง I WANNA BE A TIME TRAVELING ALIEN TIME LORD SO BAD!!!!!!!!
Yeah but answering that question is actually easy. No you can't.
Djorgal depends, time travel to the future is quite possible, time travel to the past, is theoretical. So one could build a tardis that can travel forward in time (just not at the moment, large scale timetravel other than a few millaseconds is somewhat outside our reach, due to the lack of ability to move at the speed of light)
Tici Toty Tony Well, when you think about it, you're constantly traveling forward in time. And to other people, you might seem quite alien. So... 2/3 ain't bad?
Tici Toty Tony You don't build a TARDIS... You grow one.
Tici Toty Tony you and me both
It is wibbly wobbly timey wimey not timey wimey wibbly wobbly
Marie Thehedgehog DEAL WITH IT
NitroCipher He had it correct. I'd know because it's one of my favorite lines along with, "Blink? Don't."
NitroCipher What difference does it make? Life is just wibbly wobbly timey wimey anyway. x)
Maybe it was said correctly! Our perception of the order could have been thrown off by the general wobbliness of timey.
.... You guys realise you are arguing over the LINEAR ORDER of a sentence that itself talks about the NON LINEAR order of the universe and time itself? Technically the way he said it is not the way it is said in the episode however it IS even more wibbly wobbly timey wimey than the original due to being less linear.
quick let me just use my sonic screwdriver. AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! there we go now the door should be unlocked.
Uli Schmidt XD nice one
Professor Bruce Drinkwater.....wtf???!?! That's like Alex Eatfood or Edwin Drivecar....ffs...what's happening here?
edit: I'm changing my last name to Smokeweed. I wonder if you could legally do that. I'm sure you could.
Well, in Washington it's legal now...
Or doctor enor mouscock lamo
Bruce drinks water? - Well, even batman needs to stay hydrated.
Michael Bradley jep
Very true
It's called a Sonic Screwdriver because it makes an audible sound when it's activated. The SS acts as a transmitter/receiver, generally speaking; it's kind of like a bat's sonar (scanner) and white noise generator, depending upon the settings, rolled into one.
I think it also has a psychic component, because you'll often see the Doctor use it to scan objects, yet there is no display.
Next you should explain whether the chameleon circuit and perception filters in general can be made. Not just a simple stealth or camouflage system, it completely alters the observer's perception of reality.
GuyWithAnAmazingHat Yeah, that would be really easy, just create a smoke machine that emits hallucinogenic gasses. Cause that is essentially the only way to "completely alter the observer's perception of reality."
I mean, you could consider a 3D movie theater as something that "completely alter the observer's perception of reality." as they are seeing 3D moving objects when actually all that is in front of them is a flat monitor/screen, however this is not changing their perception of reality because what they are seeing is what is there, light, if you want them to see something which is not there you need hallucinogens.
***** They want it explained with science, and magnetic fields would not have the desired effects.
***** However from what we know currently there is no reason to believe that magnetic fields could cause a silvery cylinder to appear identical to a phone booth fridge, cupboard, vending machine, stone pillar, coffin, or essentially anything
***** However they only asked for explanations of the chameleon circuit (disguise) and perception filters which the TARDIS does not have (i am fairly sure) There is one outside the Cardiff Torchwood, and also in a few other places in the series.
***** Actually what you did was say the tardis could actually be... which is a problem in and of itself, the tardis itself contains too many problems to be logically explained, so explaining one of the tardis's features such as the chameleon circuit is the best we can really do at a time, and what ou proposed bypassed the very existence of the chameleon circut by saying that the tardis is capable of rearranging. or made of quantum dots, which is like i said bypassing te chameleon circut.
2:26 Alfred when batman hasn't had 8 glasses a day
Holy Timelord of Gallifey! I'm a great fan of Doctor Who! Thanks for making this episode, Kyle! It was brilliant, as always! Just one question: would your sonic screwdriver work on wood? ;)
the absolute nerd levels are off the charts here.
@@everettrailfan rightly so
Or does it open deadlock?
In theory a sonic screwdriver could trigger an isolated shift in the molecules and the wood, would disintegrate however such a calculation would take around 400 years for a sonic screwdriver to calculate so short answer. No.
I'll take my nerd reward and leave thank you.
Professor...Drinkwater?
He sounds like a doctor in game of thrones
BraxtonComix Could be worse, where I live we have a urologist called Dr Drinkwater and a surgeon called Dr Butcher. I kid you not :/
***** My dad's rehabilitation doctor's name is Doctor Psycho....so yeah....
lol
My optometrist's name is Dr. Pieper (pronounced "peeper").
The sonic screwdriver just plays back a recording of a wizard saying, "alohomora" and there's a bit of wand-core inside to make it happen.
does that explain activating toys?
It, uh, opens the door to imagination.
love the joke about how hard it is to make it make different sounds
OI ITS WIBBLY WOBBLY TIMEY WIMEY STUFF NOT TIMEY WIMEY WIBBY WOBBLY STUFF
+Merran Foxwell-Glencross THANK YOU
Merran Foxwell-Glencross Whovians be like OMG WIBBLY WOBBLY TIMEY WHIMEY! (Me now)
That's the joke
3:35 It's wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey.
What I got from this is that Danny Drinkwater is a Whovian.
This video was especially painful since Doctor Who isn't on Netflix anymore. :'(
Ill cheer you up, the seasons are getting progressively worse so you may have dodged a bullet.
WiFi Warlock lol.
+Mr_Unicorn O_o aww man! SPOILERS!!
***** we can only watch it on Netflix streaming and they were usually a year behind!
It IS on Amazon/Amazon Prime, though. That's what I use to get my "daily dose," haha.
The character is called The Doctor, not Doctor Who. That is only the name of the show... (Hell yes, I'm an antf*ck er)
He was called Doctor Who in Old Who..
+Rebecca Lee no he wasn't, he was always called the doctor. one of the jokes of the show is he says he is "the doctor" and then people say "doctor who?". the title itself is a question.
Yeah. I noticed that,
+Rebecca Lee He was called The Doctor on screen, but the titles credited his character as Doctor Who.
***** Yeah, that's true. Didn't think about that.. xD
so if someone has sonic knowledge like we have computer knowledge, they would be able to move stones bigger then we could with our construction trucks, we could also move coral blocks to form a castle, we could even create crop circles without leaving any foot prints. The science of sound -- cool.
For the record, it's "Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey", not the other way around.
a cool detail with the sonic screwdriver is that in some early episodes of new who (Rose/End of the World and the empty child/ the doctor dances) a helix like shape can be seen spinning around through the light casted from the device but it was removed after those episodes for obvious reasons it would be a pain to put that in
i'd like to see you explain doctor who's regeneration
Does this dude not sound EXACTLY like Spencer Reid from Criminal Minds, or is it just me...?
Amariteeeeee?
wait who drinks water
Adults
brucey mate
Bruce Wayne! jk Bruce drink water.without the space
jamo90 Yes
Interesting observations, Kyle! You should do an episode on perception filters, it's a big part in some Doctor Who's stories.
Imagine the mods are waiting for you to get ambrosia before posting the patch for ambrosia
"Sonic" simply refers to a name, the company, organisation or individual that developed the device. It doesn't mean it uses sound to achieve its functions.
I would like to say that there is a sentence in doctor who that destroys this theory. In fury from the deep the doctor explains that it's done by sound waves. I know what you are thinking the video explains the helix waves but in two ways I can back my case. 1. The technology didn't exist in the 60s. 2. When the doctor uses the screwdriver he didn't point it vertical to the screw but slightly horizontal meaning that the sound waves manipulate the particles around to turn the screw. In addition the sonic screwdriver was intended to be JUST a sonic...screwdriver.
So I was just wondering could you maybe do a video on Treasure Planet and how the solar sails would work
Instead of helical sound waves, couldn't you impart angular moment by using sound waves that are tangential to the object in a procession of increasing angles? (I hope I was able to describe what I meant well)
Bruce Drinks water, does he?
no he drinks grape juice >:3
+xCHR1SxRULESx i though he preferred apple juice
oh that sounds about right... maybe it was orange juice tho
YOU GOT THE PHRASE WRONG! ITS WIBBLY WOBBLY TIMEY WIMEY I WILL HATE YOU AND UNSUB
jk lol I always learn something when I watch these videos
Hum… for a Science show not giving the credits, it's very strange. The little "Acoustic Levitation" clip is from SmarterEveryDay, right?
My thoughts exactly
PratoFundo Was pretty sure I included something in the script, didn't make it over to the video. Fix incoming! I love me some Destin!
So how's that fix coming along two years later? Still not seeing any credit.
Since arkham knight is around the corner how about if a scare crow gas could actually be made
Everything is a vibration.
If you give the specifically crafted speaker every frequency ever discovered.
You could theoretically do so.
Lock onto the vibration of the object you're targeting, and you might be able to manipulate it.
Like you could theoretically make a light bulb explode, or a keypad door unlocked.
But it requires a lot of power and a really smart but tiny CPU.
My best friend and i, will try and build one one day.
So be it if I blow up. It's my life purpose.. also a hologram Tony stark table using layered mirrors and lazers.
P.s.
A real sonic is literally a magic wand.
(Magic is just tapping into universal vibrations)
Oh, gee. Making a sonic isn't all that hard. I made one that will turn the screws on an old Radio Shack piezo speaker box. Works on some locks too. But it takes 140 dB at 15 kHz and getting a transducer small enough is the problem keeping it from being more powerful & practical. Still, a beautiful piece of tech. Maybe one day it will make coffee, heh heh. Because science! And a 140 genius IQ (that helps a lot, too). 😎
Only a couple thousand years and I too can have a sonic screwdriver!!
AND we have cryogenics to get me there!!!
Could you please make a more (highly) dedicated video of this?
(Like, so much work has to be put into this for it to come close, dude, come on, you can do more than this! )
Old episode, but still feel the need to comment this: I don't think the sonic screwdriver works off sound alone. The end of the screwdriver lights up as well, so there could be some form of electromagnetism in play at the same time as the sound. Whether the electromagnetism or the sound is doing the most work, is entirely up for debate, but I fully believe it is called a sonic screwdriver because of the audible sound that is produced when the screwdriver is in use.
Therefore, we can...because science...take our starting sonic screwdrivers (vibrator) and change some parts with real tech and make a Dr. Who sonic screwdriver.
Sheldon told Amy if she finds herself working with a scientist who is as smart as him, but with hair like Thor, to walk away. Are you as smart as Sheldon Cooper, Kyle, cause you have the hair. Or is this some other real life scientist?
hey they whoniverse channel completely plagiarized your video literally word for word of your video became his video
i'm swiss and the fact your compared the scredriver to a knife really made me proud
just wondering anyone got an idea on the energy requirement for sonic-screwing a small object with this method ?
Sonic screwdriver vs lightsaber please I already know the answer but it would be an awesome video
Have you ever thought about doing a episode on Sonic Showers from Star Trek?
you look like Thor in the thumbnail, who thought same!
I wish you were my science teacher! School wouldn't have sucked as much.
Cherish Workman That really means a lot thank you!
holy crap you literally got him to reply to you, 10/10
The hacksmith made a sonic screwdriver that can open keycard locks
Could the force be using sound waves?
The doctor talked about magnets in the sonic. Would that work?
Could you show us if we could ever fly like superman and wonder woman?
Next explain Galifreyan Laser Spanners.
It's wibbly woblly timey wimey not the other way around
I know this video is quite old, but isn't a sonic screwdriver a thing already? Only to UNSCREW screws, yes, but to unfasten them, to get them loose, you can use high frequency or low frequency soundwaves, right?
SOmebody built a tool for that...
Dat sound wave doe
Look everyone, it's Chris Hemsworth telling you what's needed to build your own sonic device!
If they do make a real life Sonic screwdriver, maybe they could go beyond the show and make it work on wood.
Hey Kyle, could you make a video about the DeLorean Time Machine from Back To The Future in your BECAUSE SCIENCE.
I wonder what would happen if we combine thermal fusion with ultrasonic frequency XD
The Professor's ancestors must have been the laziest people on the planet. There were people that had last names like Coleman because they were coal miners or Baker because they baked bread, but apparently his ancestors just sat around and drank water to survive.
I love these videos, because the answer is usually "yes" :)
It might be small but it's a step closer
the sonic screwdriver is my fav muguffen
I would like to point out that the sonic screwdriver is Time Lord technology, not human technology. But cool video!
Classic era maybe. By capaldi it was basically a wand
Kyle as the next Doctor? I'd watch that!! Could have Chobot as your bossy, narcissistic companion 😂
VivaLaGTA Yaaaassss
VivaLaGTA Nah, Chobot as the Master >:D
***** Good point!! Sorry Kyle Hill but Dan or Malik would have to be your companion then XD
I don't think you can make real
maybe someone could create a motor that turns the speakers at 10mph
The real question is where does Kyle get those shirts with buttons that switches from right to left, then switches back?
yes but you need timelord logic
another great video mr.kyle,maybe male a video about the tardis,how it bigger on the inside
it would also aid theft, the amount of crime would go up extremely high
make a video explaining the white walkers from got?
fuad fudo Pretty simply, there is a difference between science fiction and fantasy, the further we are from what we perceive as reality, the more forgiving we are of seemingly fantastic elements.
There isn't so much of a scientific explanation available.
Acoustic levitation should be used as artificial gravity in space.
I think he was talking about space stations... they have air to breathe.
Well said. Apparently the genius who first answered my comment builds space ships and stations with zero atmosphere.
Bingle bongle dingle dangl yicketty do yicketty da ting tang lippy tappy too tah
Wait doctor who?
Thanks Kyle for answering my Twitter question! :D
This is how they built the pyramids. Just on a larger scale.
Kyle Hill looks, sounds, and acts like a love child between Ben Carlin of Super Carlin Brothers and Jake Roper of Vsauce3, does he not?
exactly what i think
Interesting question: If I would put two or more of those soundsources below an object and angle them in such a way that the soundwaves would hit the ground "continously", would this object, if small enough, levitate?
+ABW941 Only way it could levitate is if the waves would bounce back up, or if the waves had enough force to cause action/reaction between the source and weaves that it levitates (like rockets just throw fuel causing action/reaction) but yea i doubt sound waves can do that.
You know those harry potter wands from universal? They are like a sonic screwdriver
I just want a box that's bigger on the inside. It would save a lot of trouble in airline travel with my kitesurfing gear.
But can you do sonic glasses?
The music in this video is suspending my mind.
How about actually using it as a fucking screwdriver?
bruce drinkwater....drinkwater.....really?
I mean there are the universal remotes in the shape of a Sonic screwdriver.
Professor what? Cause I heard Professor Drinkwater...
Howdy
David is the best out of all of them I the reboot and tom baker in classic
Hacksmith did it, so it's possible but only with key card magnetic locks, but we have a locksmith
It's Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey stuff not Timey Wimey Wibbly Wobbly.......... Judge all you want
HE SAID IT BACKWARDS OMG!!! IT 'wibbly wobbily timely whimey...stuff'
better to make a sonic bullets, from the university of California THEY CREATED A SOUND LENSING TECHNIQUE USING THE PENDOLUM PELLETS
It's wibbly wobbly, timey whimey...stuff. Not timey whimey, wibbly wobbly stuff. Get it right.
