This is purely useless as a system as due to how orbits work you would either have to wait hours to be above your target or have a huge number of these satellites to be able to deliver a payload faster than a conventional missile. To get around this you could give them a propulsion and guidance system, but then all you have done is placed a conventional missile in space. So the better option would be to use all those funds to develop faster missiles and/or fire more to get around anti-missile defences. Maybe a super villain could use a conventional style missile that would work like a B1 lancer, hugging the ground at insane speeds flying under radar to avoid detection.

How does ant man breathe once he’s smaller than an air molecule?
@LMFAOdudeification
@LMFAOdudeification 4 жыл бұрын
Maybe air molecules are shrunk around him as he breathes. Edit: Even with that, though, he should logically have a limit to how much he can shrink, but when he breaks that limit for comic-book shenanigan reasons, problems like this arise. IIRC, Pym Particles (in the MCU) shrink the space between atoms and their constituent sub-atomic particles (protons, neutrons, electrons) to achieve the shrinking effect. After a certain point, he shouldn't be able to shrink, let alone breath in that impossibly shrunken state. Pym Particles, in some comic iterations, siphon mass to and from an alternate dimension for shrinking and growing respectively, but even that should run into some hard, biological limitations below the size of a couple million cells. :/

Well, the particles themselves don't go past the light speed limit. It's the information they transmit that would go faster than light.

He called it "Spooky Action At A Distance". He also had other issues with Quantum Mechanics that he and Niels Bohr went toe to toe about. Turned out Bohr was a smarter boy than Einstein.

It was a disc that used local magic (in the book a depletable resource) to spin faster and thus suck more magic. It was a feedback loop designed to destroy all of the magic in a particular area.

Nerd correction: Though I'm not an MtG player, I suspect that card in the intro has nothing to do with Ringworld, but rather Niven's book "The Magic Goes Away". That book (spoiler alert) involves a wizard that invents a spell that causes a wheel to spin, continuing to draw mana to spin faster, and faster, and faster, until either the wheel explodes (pretty destructive in the book, though I can see a footnote video calculating exactly how fast you can spin a disk of various materials and thus how much energy = pounds of TNT equivalent you'd have) -- or until all the mana in the area is used up. This is a good way to paralyze enemy wizards, and also tends to leave you with a world where mana is hard to find (see the title).

Very cool Kyle, I love watching your videos. You help bring facts, science and logic to the whole world and that is extremely important. However, a small correction needs to be made. "Project Thor" isn't a space based weapons system, it's what your barber calls your appointment when you call in and schedule. What a glorious mane you have Odinson! 😄

Kyle, is it possible to make a space net or some type of atmospheric filter to catch or deflect incoming space debris? or make a cylindrical hollow barrier for space vehicles to fly through.

I think I remember a space channel(Scott Manley? Curious Droid? Anton Petrov? Minutephysics? Can't remember which one) did video about a phenomenon which make shadow seem to move faster than the speed of light. Can be sure about the details (physics video tends to go over my head).

One thing not touched on is that rods are the optimal shape for armor penetration, look at modern APFSDS rounds, so a telephone pole is not only more stable and more accurate but is much better vs hardened targets. I read a paper at one point, though I can't seem to find it back, that suggested using space needles instead of telephone poles, a five or six foot tungsten dart used to take out hardened targets such as missile silos or command structures in minutes from orbit before they can even launch.

I have a question regarding the next video but I’ll probably forgot so I’ll put it here. Am I being dumb or does light entering a black hole necessarily have to go faster than light speed in order to stay trapped?

Hey kyle, this is unrelated to this video but i would LOVE if you did a video on the science behind the creation of nightblood from the 100 created by becca pramheda to protect against large amounts of radiation. Because if it is at all possible, there would be sooo many practical uses for it.

The whole space-shrapnel plan would not have too big of a snowball-effect. The ISS for example (critical parts) has an "armor" protecting it from micro-meteorites. That works, because the speed usually is high enough to completely disintegrate the projectile and the protective material without piercing the hull. It could destroy some satellites, but to completely disintegrate them you need a projectile that is not too fast (or bigger).

I've seen a great animation that I believe lines up with what next episode will be. It depicted 2 halves of a pair of scissors moving at the speed of light towards each other with a slight rotation. Then the point where the scissors line up to "cut" travels along the edge of the scissors at faster than the speed of light. You can get away with this because no actual matter is traveling faster, just an imaginary point where two objects intersect.

The Nivenyrral Disk is actually a a reference to Larry Niven's only Fantasy series, "The Magic Goes Away," which treats 'Mana' as a natural resource humanity used up in the past like coal or oil. In the series, the most dangerous weapon was a simple disk, with two simple spells. The disk simply used one spell to keep it together, and another to spin. It just would not stop, and would speed up and continue to do so until all the mana in the area was used up. These disks were used to destroy the great nation of Atlantis. If you look at the description of the Nivenyrral Disk, the reference become more obvious.
