    Well, it looks like I have to clear up some misunderstandings, so here you are!
    1. Please do not confuse which Thor this video is referencing. This video is about the Marvel version of Thor, not the original Thor from Norse mythology. That Thor is patently different for a number of reasons.
    2. Magic _does_ exist in the Marvel universe, but it has still been debated from time to time whether Asgardians are magical or using incredibly advanced technology. In this video, I discuss how Thor's hammer might function if it has a scientific explanation because, as discussed earlier in the video, _magic_ does not follow laws that allow proper study.
    3. Yes, I know gravitational waves were detected at LIGO. I actually mentioned that in the video and showed a picture of the research facility itself.
    4. The song at the beginning is called "Local Forecast- Slower". It is a royalty-free song composed by Kevin MacLeod and available for download on his website. Link in the description. Yes, I Hate Everything uses the same song in his openings, but he does not own the song, and I did not steal it from him.
    5. I must regrettably confess that I did not actually have a magic/high-tech hammer stuck on my laptop. There might have been some loopholes I could have instated, such as breaking the table legs and forcing the laptop and hammer to slide off, but it was all a set up to allow me to talk about Thor's hammer.
    If you have any more questions, let me know! I hope you enjoyed the video!

    Mjolnir's enchantment says "Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor".
    I think the gravitational bond is more simbolic than effective.
    You can hold it in space(with a space suit of course) with 0 gravity, but still not get the power of Thor.
    Maybe Hulk would lift it by brute force, but still wouldn't get Thor's power anyway, so for him it only would works like a common hammer,
    and would be just as useful as when he picks up a car, or a steel beam to take the shit out of an enemy.

    Just to answer a common question: Yes. A young child can typically lift a 40 lb object off of a table. I'm not talking about hoisting something over your head. I'm talking about momentarily lifting it to remove something from underneath it.

      +Jennifer Tillery I won't attack you like the last commenter, that's excessive and unnecessary. I will however, offer a disagreement. Because Mjolnir is still exerting it's gravitational field between it and a specific source (Earth for an example) and the laptop is between Mjolnir and the source, the force exerted by Mjolnir should make it impossible to move the laptop too. But, I'm theorizing.

      Actually, if Mjolnir is currently "locked into" to Earth's gravitational effect which precisely counters against the hammer's own weight/mass, then all you must do is slightly decrease the gravity effect in that same vector. IE- Lift up on the surface upon the surface where Mjolnir sits. Don't lift up on Mjolnir directly, instead lift up the surface below it. Grab the laptop & lift it up, tip it to one side & let the hammer fall off.
      In some of the older Thor comics, this HAS been done before: A construction crew using a crane, winch & cable hooked up the cable to the hammer, but couldn't lift it, yet someone (who was definitely NOT worthy) could still lift it by with a telekinetic field by forming that field UNDER the hammer & lifting up on the TK field.
      This was during a time when Thor would change back into the lame Dr. Donald Blake if he couldn't touch Mjolnir within 60 seconds. That same villain nearly succeeded by putting a TK forcefield around the hammer, keeping Thor from touching it...But Thor used a *different* attribute to break the TK field, which is that when Thor "calls" it back to him, no force in the universe can prevent it from returning to him.
      That's what I find so funny about those memes I've seen when Thor's joking around by leaving his hammer on the toilet seat...All they'd have to do is lift the seat! What makes it a joke for Thor is because he *knows* they'll all try lifting the hammer. He's amused by how many mortals limit their own line of thinking!

    While wave-particle duality is a fundamental principle of quantum mechanics, it is important to note that it does not necessarily apply to all particles or to all phenomena. For example, gravitational waves are waves that are associated with the motion of massive objects, but they are not associated with the wave-particle duality of subatomic particles. Similarly, gravitons, if they exist, would be particles that mediate the force of gravity, but they would not necessarily exhibit wave-like properties

    Thor's Hammer will generate and emit gravity when someone tries to lift it; gravity significant enough to prevent people lifting it.
    And yet, when it's placed on a table and someone tries to pick it up, when it generates it's extreme quantities of gravity, it doesn't break the table.
    Logic!

    • @finn_underwood
      @finn_underwood 8 років тому +18

      *****
      So it perfectly balances out the force down to the fraction of a fraction of a second, so the moment it's released it stops generating the additional gravity.
      Eh, whatever, it works. I concede defeat, good sir.

    @cdurkinz 5 років тому +1

    I disagree with 8:11. On multiple occasions MCU's Thor places the hammer on things that are just barely strong enough to hold it's ~40lb weight. A glass table, a coat hanger, etc. Someone unworthy tries to pick it up, it cannot become more heavy or add more gravity because then it should break through those things. It doesn't break the glass table and fall to the ground when all the Avengers give it a go and I'd wager it wouldn't rip the coat hanger down if someone unworthy tried to grab it there either... Just my opinion anyway. I believe it still could be a technology, just not one so easy that we understand it already.

I would imagine any object around the hammer is also affected by the gravitational shift which is why it wouldn't crush the laptop and so anyone not worth could just pick up the laptop and hammer

      @greerjones9472 8 років тому +1

      +AKA_U-MAD There is no gravitational shift with Mjolnir. In the comics it was explained that the enchantment would cause a "quantum lock" or some fancy shit like that and the hammer would ignore anyone's influence to move it if they were unworthy (so natural forces would still apply). This includes grasping, pushing, or having laid upon one.

    @timedragon5492 7 років тому +2

    I looked at all the people who have been considered "worthy" and the conditions they lifted the hammer. I compared them all and tried to figure out what makes Thor "worthy" and not them. And I was actually able to figure it out. "Worthy" doesn't exactly mean being "pure of heart" or something like that. It's all about confidence, a complete lack of self doubt and anxiety. People like Captain America and Superman should seem the type to be worthy, but they're not. Cap's a man way out of his time and Superman is a literal alien and didn't even know until he reached maturity and had his world shattered. But in the heat of battle, they don't have time to think of their anxiety when their pumped on adrenaline. That's why they could briefly lift the hammer. I could be wrong, I've just never seen Thor suffer from any sort of self doubt.

    since the hammer makes the flying sound when it's picked up in the movies, i am thoroughly convinced that whenever you try to lift the hammer and being unworthy, the hammer accelerates downward at exactly the equal force that you're pulling it up with. like a tug of war. +1 -1 = 0, cancels out and/or injures the person attempting to lift the hammer.

  • @greyson3131

    I've always assumed that Mjolnir was a sentient weapon. A Asgardian machine with a fully formed AI or a truly magically enchanted item with a soul contained inside. It searches the "spirit" of the one trying to wield it and it determines whether one is "worthy" by the warriors code of the ancient norse. Would explain why Cap (and a handful of others) is able to use the hammer when in the heat of battle.

    A few points...
    1. What does "natural" mean in this context? You haven't defined the term, making it kind of meaningless.
    2. The scientific laws aren't traits of the world, they're traits of science. They're a frame, a schema, a set of assumptions that science operates within.
    3. The laws of science are well-defined, so if something seems to go against the laws of science, you can look at it and say 'here's where it disagrees'
    4. The laws of science only apply within a closed system, so if the laws of science don't seem to apply to something, the simplest conclusion is that it's in an open system.
    5. Sixteenth century philosopher John Dee experimented with clockwork and other simple machinery, regarded at the time as witchcraft. What exactly is the difference between magic and technology?
