Glad to see this re-uploaded. I'm happy you're coming back just as MatPat is leaving. I remember when this was originally uploaded. I'm looking forward to some more of THE SCIENCE!!
MatPat is not really leaving. He is just stepping away from being in front of the camera and will still be involved with producing videos and running his company.
Yeah, I have to wonder how the math would turn out if the size of the planet wasn't calculated via the cutscene. It'd be tricky to figure out the speed of the strike without using the cutscene as reference, but I'd still like to see the results.
@@Ryu_D well the cutscene is accurate, its the actual in game world that is not. in lore it takes multiple weeks to travel from a certain zone in northrend to another on the other side of northrend takes multiple weeks, and this is with a mount, not on foot. as it only takes like 30 minutes to run there on foot, imma say what we see in game is down scaled.
@@HAXRLITSXY Vastly scaled down. Elwynn Forest and Westfall are the breadbasket of the Alliance after War3. Lumber and farms as far as the eye can see capable of feeding the entire Alliance, with a quarter of the entire human population living in Stormwind. I don't have links at the moment, but people had discussions using geopolitics, economics, and food production to figure out that before losing roughly 80% of the population during War3 and TFT, there were estimated to be around 10 to 15 million humans. This means humans would have a growing area spread between the fallen Lordaeron/Alterac area and Stormwind's area of about the size of Netherlands, give or take 10%. With only a couple million humans left, in theory, Westfall and Elwynn are probably something on the range of the size of one to two Nebraska. That's just humans. That doesn't include elves, dwarves, gnomes, or the Horde races. When you realize Elwynn is roughly the size of a Midwest state, you start to realize why the Watch was having trouble hunting down one bandit camp where Hogger was hiding out.
@@HAXRLITSXY Good point. I guess we'd need to find the canon size of the sword in the cutscene then. Though that still means that the planet is F'd regardless. Potentially even more than in the calculations (or maybe not. Sorry, I'm not going to go back and watch the video again to try and figure out what that would change.).
This video helped me finally understand SOH CAH TOA back in high school and used it, thanks for that green light all those years ago to use this, in a paper about how video games can be used to help supplement education through not just play but also using situations in them to help practice different concepts taught in academia. Seriously, Austin, thanks so much for all the laughs, education and allowing me to use this video in a paper all those years ago.
So happy youre reuploading stuff! I used to binge watch the Science (I especially loved all your halo videos) constantly and I have really really missed them 😿
You weren't mentioned in the finale video, but thank you for your impact on Game Theory Austin, your videos, rants, and style of videos were spectacular :)
the guy stabbing the planet reminds me of one of the bosses from Asura's Wrath (the one that tries to squish asura with his index finger) also he's leaning onto the planet with his hand planted on the side of it? how is azeroth not being pushed away unless he is holding it in place with magic? (not a science person as you can tell) also also, curious where in azeroth has his handprint now
@@editedcopycat9939 Kind of, except when you consider the tidal waves from his hand displacing the ocean enough to touch the bottom would have killed everyone even before considering the sword.
I literally just looked for this video a couple weeks ago and realized all the Science Of videos were gone (I'm out of the loop, I know). Super happy to see the reuploads!!
So happy found out you were able to put your old Game theory videos back onto here. Didn't realize your content didn't do well on Game Theory. Always thought your videos were better then the other ones on Game Theory.
I know its just a re-upload, but its always nice seeing other content creatos ive watched talk about my favorite game (aside from the version from 20 years ago).
Dear Austin, hi! It’s me, a fan! I just wanted you to know~ you’re honestly (no exaggeration) the only channel on this entire app that has the bell checked for me. And again - the only reason this app can even send me notifications. Because I just realized you had uploads I was never informed of.
Dear Austin, Hi, it's me, a viewer. I hope you're doing alright and I want you to know you made me laugh, and I especially appreciate that you used the campfire beans scene from Blazing Saddles for the fart joke bit. Sincerely, some guy P.S. Have a nice day.
it is genuinely shocking and extremely worrying that Azeroth is that small. The moment you said how long the sword is alarm bells started going off all over my head, like Azeroth as a planet would not be considered even a moon to almost every other planet out there. NVM the oddity of it somehow having a moon of itself.
We can actually figure out a pretty close aproximation for the mass of the sword via the volume it displaced. Since it's neither sinking into the planet further nor being pushed out of the planet, that means the volume it displaces must be equal in mass to its own mass, so if we assume friction is not a factor and that azeroth has uniform density, the mass of the sword is the density of azeroth times the volume the sword displaced. It's probably a bit less than that since denser materials tend to bury themselves deeper into the planet and friction being a non negligible factor, but it should give a rough estimate for an upper bound of the sword's mass, which could then be used to calculatze kinetic energy with the speed you measured
Missed the regular uploads from Shoddy! Glad to see my crazed mathematician is just as incredulous and *thoroughly* foaming at the mouth. Refreshing, really ✨
Dear Austin, hi i have been watching you for a WHILE and i got to say im so happy that you are getting better. I know how it is, ive been dealing with it my whole life. Anyways dude, stay frosty and we as a community love you
it hit me all at once that Austin is dedicating his time and mental health to the SCIENCE of video games... and I'm never going to stop watching it. keep on keeping on, Austin, we're with you all the way
You are literally the only reason why I bothered to give The *** Theorist a try when I was bored. Great to find you and to see you're still making content.
Good video! Only exception being: The scale of zoomed out planet to estimate the size of Azeroth doesn't seem right. I'd say maybe a half again bigger, or to say this vid puts it 2/3 of what I'd estimate from the same image. Also consider: Super dense aye, but what if about 60% of that mass is concentrated into the growing body of Azeroth herself? What if hatching and leaving without shattering the world takes away most of the mass?
One of the best parts of this happened in Shadowlands. If you did Night Fae Covenant quest part of it is basically playing out the big raids in every expansion literally in a theater for the Night Fae to watch. And when THIS part happened a few of the audience make fun of it, one of them saying their used to be a scientist when they were alive and this isn't how it works...
I remember watching this video for the first time. Great then, great now. Can't wait until the video about however big the neighbour's house is from Hello Neighbor gets reuploaded!
Hey Austin, you should, in future make sure to edit out any mention of subscribing to game theory and replace it to shoddycast. That part is still in close to the end

mattpat is leaving youtube?!
This was the first The Science Video I ever saw and I’ve been a fan of Austin ever since.
What? @@munchiemac2895
Ok, so I wasnt bugging. It is a reupload.
Me despite reading the title: Huh, I could have sworn I've watched this before.
Also me: It's Austin, I'm going to love it no matter what!
Dude, how I missed that music and ranting.
Quit hating yourself and help solve the problems, lol I'm watching you do it now, haha.
Bom… bu-BOM, bom, bom…
GOD DAMMMMMMMM TERRIFYING!!!!!!!!!!
I'm starting to feel called out for picking up WoW again... two videos on the channel in one week...
crazy
Wait… wow is still playable?
It's not too late to quit before you get addicted to the drug again and it ruins your life.
Get called out, we know what you did.
Bro escaped and decided to go back
Calculating the mass of a giant space sword... What an amazing time to be alive ❤
This was my favorite video when Austin was on game theory. I’m so glad it’s back!
SOH CAH TOA was taught to us as:
Some
Old
Hippie
Caught
Another
Hippie
Tripping
On
Acid
That's how I remember it to this day.
Meanwhile I just remember that there's a sine in the name if you divide through the hypotenuse and a co if the numerator is the adjacent side.
I only learned a/sin(a) = b/sin(b) = c/sin(c), where the sine of a right angle is 1
This is how I was taught it 😅
I love you Austin. I can’t wait to hear this man scream!
You very nearly owed me a new keyboard with the group hallucination comment.
I think the main problem is using the size of the sword in a game where everything is shrunk in size to calculate the size of the shrunk planet...
Yeah, I have to wonder how the math would turn out if the size of the planet wasn't calculated via the cutscene. It'd be tricky to figure out the speed of the strike without using the cutscene as reference, but I'd still like to see the results.

I blame one of the gnomes using the world shrinking device just before the cut scene was made.....totally cannon.
I'm so happy Austin is back at least for now I hope he continues to do well thanks Austin
This video helped me finally understand SOH CAH TOA back in high school and used it, thanks for that green light all those years ago to use this, in a paper about how video games can be used to help supplement education through not just play but also using situations in them to help practice different concepts taught in academia.

Happy to see some of your Science content coming back! Your videos on that originated on the game theory channel have always been my favorite!
Ooh does this mean we can expect all of the old "the SCIENCE!" Videos to come back!!
Im finally getting notifications for this channel again! Great to see you back.
I didnt remember this when it was first uploaded but I felt the OG vibes from this. I Enjoyed this.
Minor note, but as a fan of A) You and this channel B) SCIENCE and C) Music, the inclusion of the Moldau by Smetana made me happy.
This made me so happy to watch. I’m glad Austin is back in the game! Keep it up.
Ya know, I thought this looked familiar 🤣 I’m legit glad to have this reuploaded
I am glad to see this video again about Austin talking about a giant sword fart causing some shitty destruction
This is the video that made me love your videos. From then on I waited for every science video.
that sword is almost as long as the indianapolis motor speedway
So glad you're reuploading these episodes!
So happy youre reuploading stuff! I used to binge watch the Science (I especially loved all your halo videos) constantly and I have really really missed them 😿
You weren't mentioned in the finale video, but thank you for your impact on Game Theory Austin, your videos, rants, and style of videos were spectacular :)
Honestly I was a little saddened that it felt like Austin was nearly entirely forgotten
Yaaay!!! Re-uploaded Science content at last!
I remember watching this when it first came out.
The physics of planet-stabbing swords isn't any less fascinating today.
Keep the good videos coming!
I love that the old videos are coming back!
Finally more reuploads! Looking forward to more!
Yay, reuploads of the science!!
Loved seeing you and the other original theorists shooting/driving tanks!
Hi Austin
Thanks for the reupload, waiting for the others to be reupload
Love seeing the re-uploads, can't wait for your windwaker video!
always good to see you back. I clicked the second o saw that thumbnail lol
Hey Austin, you're amazing and thank you for being you 💜
So happy to see Austin up to his old antics
I watching this reupload to support you Austin!
I was thinking about You earlier today.
^_^
Miss You, man.
Always glad to see your uploads.
"Hi. Its me. AUSTIN!" is my all time favorite intro, and never fails to get a smile.
Just thought you should kniw.
the guy stabbing the planet reminds me of one of the bosses from Asura's Wrath (the one that tries to squish asura with his index finger)
also he's leaning onto the planet with his hand planted on the side of it? how is azeroth not being pushed away unless he is holding it in place with magic? (not a science person as you can tell)
also also, curious where in azeroth has his handprint now
The ocean
@@Asterion_Mol0c nooooooooo thats boring! 😭
@@editedcopycat9939 Kind of, except when you consider the tidal waves from his hand displacing the ocean enough to touch the bottom would have killed everyone even before considering the sword.
@@agafaba true that
I literally just looked for this video a couple weeks ago and realized all the Science Of videos were gone (I'm out of the loop, I know). Super happy to see the reuploads!!
You're awesome, Austin! I always love your videos!
I forgot how long it's been since I heard that intro! It's me CODY! and I love ya buddy
Who here agrees that Austin has given up on the Richest Gaming Character?
And I oop
The Austin version of sohcahtoa is what I used in high-school trigonometry. It worked better for me than the other ways
I love this video, but the song choices near the end made me wonder if I still had my Cell to Singularity game open on my phone or computer hahahaha
So happy found out you were able to put your old Game theory videos back onto here. Didn't realize your content didn't do well on Game Theory. Always thought your videos were better then the other ones on Game Theory.

love your vidioes and will watch them again and again
Glad that these are coming back and hope you are doing well. Also, major kudos for bringing out farts as a unit of measurement
Being able to watch your old privated videos again would be amazing as while you're working to make new videos, i miss this intro so much

P.S. Have a nice day.
I am glad to see this episode again
:D
The SCIENCE is coming to Shoddy!
it took me a whole minute to recall this video was done before, and also to recall the thing it was about lol. Good stuff.
yay! I love that. Can Austin Help Shouting Over His Tinnitus Oppressed Audience.
An old school Austen !!!SCIENCE!!! rant...
So cathartic.
Looking forward to the new an old videos.

NGL, I was itching to watch this again a while back and spent ages looking around for it. Def on my list of things I can watch over and over.
Man I miss this antic So So much! Welcome back Austin!
Greatly Missed "THE SCIENCE" Glad you are back buddy.
welp, it was nice to have my "that is one tiny planet" moment vindicated.
and clearly i remember my maths better than i thought.
We can actually figure out a pretty close aproximation for the mass of the sword via the volume it displaced. Since it's neither sinking into the planet further nor being pushed out of the planet, that means the volume it displaces must be equal in mass to its own mass, so if we assume friction is not a factor and that azeroth has uniform density, the mass of the sword is the density of azeroth times the volume the sword displaced.

this is to this day still one of my favorite episodes, the reupload definitely threw me back
YEEEEAH ANOTHER “The Science” EPISODE
2 bangers in a week?! this come down is makin me see things
I missed this.
amazing vid!
With matt pat leaving it's nice to see you posting more again. I love all your videos keep it coming!
5:15 wow thats like 2889 yards!
How did it take me this long to find out where you've been, insta-sub

and I'm never going to stop watching it. keep on keeping on, Austin, we're with you all the way
dont know much about warcraft but I wanna support you in this damn algorithm cus you deserve it!
This is still by far my favorite episode of "The Science". Nice to see it again.
This is it! This is the one that brought to all the Theory channels and to Austin in particular. What a great excuse to watch it again xD
You are literally the only reason why I bothered to give The *** Theorist a try when I was bored. Great to find you and to see you're still making content.
I know it's a reupload for transfer purposes, but would love to see more The SCIENCE!!! episodes on WoW
Good video!

One of the few channels where i often rewatch your videos anyway.
You’ve been a busy boy haven’t you Austin?
The science = best show on YT.
I know it’s an oldie but a goodie keep up the great work amigo!
All the science!! Missed you austin.

Speed running all that trigonometry math! Damn! Good job Austin!
Omg here you are! I was wondering where you vanished to!
Please make a new episode getting into the orbital physics of this. More SCIENCE!
I remember watching this video for the first time. Great then, great now. Can't wait until the video about however big the neighbour's house is from Hello Neighbor gets reuploaded!
I have missed videos like this
Not enough time? I can wait austin, make longer videos please?
Hey Austin, you should, in future make sure to edit out any mention of subscribing to game theory and replace it to shoddycast. That part is still in close to the end
Ah, another WoW killer :D We have been waiting.
God, welcome back. I missed this.

what do they mean?!"
