How to Defeat Wolverine with Science

This is how you could defeat Wolverine with science. There are many practically indestructible characters in pop culture, from the Incredible Hulk to Deadpool to Superman and to, of course, Wolverine. And Wolverine in particular is an interesting case because half the reason he is so hard to destroy is straight up science. The adamantium grafted onto his bones, which means if you had to, science would also be the best way to defeat him. (energetic music) Found you. Let's set up a hypothetical scenario. Say we are some kind of, ooh, super villain and we want to defeat Wolverine. I don't know, maybe we fundamentally disagree with how veiny he is in all the movies. If we tracked or lured Wolverine to some location, I see four main advantages of his that we would have to contend with. First of all, he's very fast, he's very strong, he's very durable(metallic impacts) and he's very sharp. Cool, thanks. Nearly every step within t...

How Captain Marvel Survives in Space

This episode of Because Science is sponsored by Captive State. This is how Captain Marvel survives space. Even in the most extreme environments earth has to offer you can find life. Life under constraint is simple but these so-called extremophiles survive and thrive. For example, here in the Atacama Desert a place so desolate that NASA uses it as a stand-in for Mars you can find cyanobacteria here photosynthesizing and dividing and doing whatever else they do. Deep below the ocean's surface you can find the extremophilic archaea Pyrococcus surviving and thriving under pressure pushing down on them equivalent to that at the very bottom of the Mariana Trench. (water bubbling) As far as we know though there are no what I call cosmophiles organisms specifically adapted to survive and thrive in space. So what would it take to turn one of the most extreme environments that we know of into your playground? This thought experiment comes to us from Captain Marvel. In the comics and the f...

How Dune's Sandworms Swim

This episode of Because Science is sponsored by Captive State. How do Dune's Giant Sandworms swim? If I asked you to think about how animals move, you'd probably relexively think of animals galloping across the plains or flying above your head, or gliding underneath the waves. We almost never think about the animals currently moving beneath our feet, and I think that's why the so-called sandworms of pop culture capture our imaginations so much. They are so beyond our experiences. How would they look? How would they move? How would a Giant Sandworm swim? (upbeat electronic music) Oh, we should go, nonrhythmyically though. You can find sandworms everywhere in pop culture, from Beetlejuice, and of course, Tremors, to Final Fantasy and Mass Effect. But the sandworms from the Sci-Fi masterpiece Dune have to be the most famous. Frank Herbert's creations are giant earthworm-like creatures with tremendous moss lined with a stadium of crystalline teeth. Genomically, these wor...

Can Spider-Man Stop a Train?

Could spider-man really stop a train Spider-man is a pretty useful guy to just have hanging around as the ever vigilant protector of his city He fights crime with synthesized silken super-strength He can stop supervillains and their henchmen sure, but can he stop a train? Today's thought experiment comes to us from the much loved and many memes spider-man 2 in it Peter Parker stops a train full of people with nothing more than multiple strands of spider silk and one heck of a grip spider silk is Spectacularly strong in real life and you've been asking me to look into this scene for years. So get out your Spidey calculators It's finally time for some spider mass hit first if we are taking a purely theoretical approach here We need to define what stopping a train really means Right on time. Ooh, that's the into the spider versus Oscar. Oh If you're gonna be stopping a train we're gonna be doing physical work on that train Which can also be considered a change i...

Would Throwing Bowser Rip Mario's Arms Off?

Would throwing Bowser rip Mario's arms off? Dear nerds, please watch the following video so I don't have to be the only one thinking about ripping Mario's arms off. Yours truly, KH. (8-bit beeping) Yahoo! The ongoing battle between Mario and Bowser is one of gaming's most legendary rivalries. As a player, you've faced Bowser in dungeons, on airships, even on the dang moon. And in one of the best games of all time, you have to fight Bowser on a stage surrounded by bombs, and Mario has to defeat Bowser by grabbing the giant turtle by his tail and flinging into his own traps. But would that rip Mario's arms off? Oh yes. I'm of course talking about the final fights in the classic video game Super Mario 64, where our plucky plumber is tasked with grabbing Bowser by the tail, swinging him in a circle to build up speed, and then throwing the giant turtle creature into enormous landmines that the reptilian placed himself. Anyway, Bowser is a titanic turtle. How s...

How Powerful Is Saitama's Serious Punch?

How powerful is Saitama's Serious Punch? Saitama, better know as One Punch Man, is a character designed not to be taken seriously. But I think, with a little bit of math, and a little bit of anime investigation, we can at least calculate what happens when Saitama gets serious. (electronic music) For our analysis, we're gonna consider season one of the One Punch Man anime. In it, the foremost serious showing of Saitama's strength is during his fight against Lord Boros, a cyclopic alien invader who carries immense power inside his Ken-doll-like body. Let's take the fight blow by blow until we get to Serious Punch levels to see if we can get an idea of just how strong Saitama can be. We're gonna go step by step through this fight because, by the rules of anime, whatever enemy attack that you can withstand, shake off, or deflect, you must simply be stronger than. (laughs) Nice try! This is why we have to evaluate all of Lord Boros' attacks, just to see how stron...

Ant-Man VS. Thanos’ Butt

Could Ant-Man defeat Thanos by... Uh, flying into his butt? Dread it. Run from it. The memes still arrive all the same. And now, they are here. Or should I say, "Science is here." The Avengers have proventhey are willing to do whatever it takes to save the universe. So, could Ant-Man defeatThanos by flying into his butt? Yeah, we're doin' it. (exhales) You did this to me. Alright, so it's time toask the cheeky questions. There's been a meme goingaround for months now that the easiest way to defeatThanos in Avengers: Endgame is for Ant-Man to flyup into Thanos' butt, expand to Giant-Mansize, and then I guess, explode him from the inside out. The idea is gaining so much traction that people are actuallyasking Paul Rudd about it, and surely he has morepromotional things to do. So in the grand tradition of this program, let's take this ridiculoussituation absolutely seriously and try to figure outwhat would really happen in a battle between ScottLang an...

Can You Uppercut a Person Off the Ground? | The Science of Mortal Kombat

Think of all the crazy,bone crunching crashes of fist and feet that youcan find in the history of Mortal Kombat. You can see just about anything happening in this eternal tournament. But, there's arguably onemove that is the most iconic. An uppercut that sendsan opponent skyward. This incredible powerful punch is a mainstay of modern fighting games and pop culture in general. But, what would it really take, aren't we gonna do likea big thing for this? Or? Alright. Well, what would it really take. Oh, release me. No, no, geez. No, help me. That was good, okay. Kill for me. Defend my honor. (uptempo music) (choral music) Wow, that was great. You've earned one treat. What would it really taketo do a move like that. This is the science of Mortal Kombat. Welcome to my MortalKombat version of the Void. Complete with a legion of minions ready to do my sciency bidding. An entire areas dedicatedto the over-analysis of kicking and punching. In today's episode we are covering m...

How Do White Walkers Shatter Swords?

 How do White Walkers shatter swords? Winter is finally here for the Game of Thrones-iverse as are the White Walkers, humanity's fearsome, frigid foes. These magical ice zombies are extremely dangerous to say the least and resistant to conventional weapons, but when faced with cold, hard steel, could they really shatter a sword? Yes. White Walkers may be magical, but the freezing temperatures they bring along in their weapons certainly have something to do with why a normal steel sword would shatter against a White Walker weapon, like it does in Jon's hands during the famous Hardhome battle. This steel shattering property is also established in the Song of Ice and Fire books. The question is, will a steel sword subjected to extremely low temperatures really shatter quickly or completely enough that they will prove useless against Walker weapons? (shivers) That's better. First, what, if any, is the relationship between the strength of materials and the temperature of thos...

How the Infinity Gauntlet Decides Your Fate

This could be how the Infinity Gauntlet decided your fate. If you wanted to perfectly balance the universe, how would you go about deciding who lives and who dusts? If you were Thanos, whatever decisions are being made have to originate in this thing, and I think the Infinity Tech that chooses the fates of trillion is something that can be perfectly scienced as all thing should be. (upbeat dance music) Ooh, acronyms! Okay, so you know the score. The Mad Titan, Thanos, successfully obtained all the Infinity Stones and used them to wipe out half of all life in the universe, or at least all the sentient creatures or just the creatures living in civilizations, he wasn't too clear on that. Anyway, what matters is that it happened. Striking superheroes and civilians alike apparently randomly but how could the Infinity Gauntlet make so many random decisions on such an enormous scale? And how could Thanos be sure it was perfectly random and therefore balanced? And don't worry, there...
