Thanks for watching, Super Nerds! *Here's last week's video* if you haven't seen it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oreYarWg18qvY4U.html And *here's your link* to all the fresh and extremely comfortable Because Science merch: shop.nerdist.com/collections/because-science -- kH

I fully expected him to say "because they suck." when he asked "Do you know why I hate vampires.".

Vampires traditionally lack a reflection because mirrors used to be backed with silver, which is a "pure" metal vs the undead and otherwise cursed. They should have reflections in modern mirrors, however :)

"A hot take is not a substitute for a personality" ok Kyle is the hero we need!!!

"A hot take is not a substitute for a personality" I like this. Words of wisdom from the evil mastermind Kyle Hill.

Well Thor, can you do how to capture Noobmaster69 next?

Kyle: I'm not a super villain! also Kyle: Oh, and next week, we are nuking mars

Evil Genius Kyle may be vulnerable to vampirism. Further testing is warranted.

Kyle : "I'm not a villain" Also Kyle : "Should we nuke Mars ?"

I came for black holes....got a lesson in vampires.

Kyle is awesome, and im glad his videos are a part of my life.

Speaking as an official representative of DarkStar “Healthcare” Corperation, We’re very sorry Mr. Hill, but we’re going to have to start charging collect for your multiple phone calls. Thank you for your continued patronage! - DSHC

kyle, what happened to your old... Magazine subscription? Is everything okay? you two had a good thing going.

"Vampires invisible in mirrors" is a concept that originates from old mirrors which were made from polished silver, and as we all know, silver destroys vampires. So silver mirror destroys vampires reflection but any other mirror or reflective surface (vampires skin included) is behaving completely normally.

for decades, scientists have been hypothesizing how his hair became so glorious but there are not currently any proven theories.

Fantastic content Kyle! I like how you debunking the myths associated with black holes using science. Keep making such episodes.

Hey kyle,another good video! Great job.

Hey Kyle what's that number I made a mess and need a "cleaning crew"

Loving these new edits. Good show.

Finally an episode I am hyped about!!!

We are building a fighting force of extraordinary magnitude. We forge our tradition in the spirit of our ancestors. You have our gratitude.

So even though its confirmed that Kyle is actually a Villain, it is also confirmed that Vampires arent in his employ for "Scientific Differences."

Great show dude always interesting

There are three ways of accounting for a lack of reflection from vampires. - First is that they aren't really there and you only think you see them - this could be accomplished by manipulating your mind in some way, or directing the light towards you in the form of a hologram. The latter wouldn't cast a reflection from your perspective because the light is coming towards you, not towards the mirror. - Second is that the mirror isn't completely reflective within the visible range. With a silver mirror, for example, you could have something looking like a pale-violet ghost that wouldn't reflect off the mirror. - Third is that they reflect just fine, but are doing something to actively prevent you from seeing the reflection. This would be a reverse of the first, with the vampire manipulating your mind to not see the reflection, or emitting light towards a mirror in a method somewhat akin to active optical camouflage. By the way, if next episode does not mention Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulators, I will be very disappointed in you.

I love all the smart nerdy comments. They make me feel smarter than i am.

We may not be able to terraform Mars with nukes, but we co7uld TERROR-form it! ...ha... I'll show myself out.

In the anime "Nadia: The secret of blue water" the starship Excelion's engine, Orpheus, harness the energy of two black holes orbiting one other. It was the first thing I thought about while watching the episode. Great show as usual!!!

This is the first video in over a month that I have been notified about. KZfaq sucks

Do blackholes have a charge? Or if you fire a lot of charged particles at a black hole, would it have an effect on nearby charged particles or would any electro static effect be captured behind the event horizon? Can fieldlines of electric or magnetic fields pass an event horizon?

dr. stone video please Would his "stone road" for antibiotics work?

Please do a video on EPR Paradox, Bell Theorem and Alain Aspects experiments....and maybe your own experiments?

I was waiting on you to make reference to the black hole sun by Soundgarden. Kinda disappointed that you didn't. Please don't throw a meteor at me! lol Thank you for doing these shows. They are very fun and you make science accessible to people of all back grounds. I am def a nerd, but my son isn't but still loves your shows.

Fun fact is that Dyson actually hated being quoted for the sphere.

Kyle, If two particles where entangled and one was passing near or through the black hole would the same rules of quantum entanglement apply or would the gravitational attraction of the black hole ruin the particles spin and would this affect the other particle? Would the two particles be able to relay information because they can interact with each other faster than the speed of light ('spooky action at a distance') and therefore allow the particles information can escape the event horizon of the black hole? !!Please Respond!!

About orbiting a blackhole I think what people doesnt understand is that the blackhole is the same mass of that the star it was made of (actually its mass would be lower than the star because of supernova taking out mass but whatever) the thing that changes is only how close you can get to the center of mass meaning center of gravity so it wouldnt effect celestial bodies orbiting far from it (aside from the supernova) but it would effect the things coming really close to it

Kyle " your mathmatical equations ! Done with Humor" Very Smart a total mindgasm! Keep up the awesome 🤘 work

Vampires dont have a reflection due to the old thought of since mirrors were silver backed. Silver was looked at as being pure and vampires not being of human nature (impure) they dont have reflection in the mirror. However today's mirrors are not silver backed so vamps would have a reflection by that thought process.

Super Villain? nah Kyle seems more like a 'Henchman'. He discusses many evil deeds, but seemingly has no other required tropes Although, his wicked laugh is improving. So, unless his genius is so great, that he is able to hide in plain sight, pretending to be a lovable dolt, (like Sith Lord Jar Jar), so as to ingratiate himself amongst the populace, gathering large numbers of followers with which to conquer the...........?? ....wait.... ?? what the frak is that noise? hello? who's th..................................................................

Hey Kyle love the show!! Btw can you make a video on what would happen if, instead of one sun, we had 2 sun where each sun is half massive as our current sun.

Per the question about a black hole you could hold: based on how massive they are, how small would a black hole have to be to be holdable by a human?

Vampir have no reflection in a mirror because of the silver

Vampires can be seen in modern mirrors. The only reason they couldn’t be seen in Bram Stoker’s time is because mirrors were made of silver. According to the mythology, silver is a form of Kryptonite for evil supernatural beings because it was the metal that betrayed Jesus Christ.

I have an idea to move the black hole, what about warp drive? could that be possible?(in the case we do now how to make the effect we need with space) wouldnt that make the black hole move if we do warp effect around it?

Hey kyle, I had a question. If the theory where you could dunk your hand in liquid nitrogen and it not effect your hand for up to 9 Seconds if it was true for the reverse. Like say you dipped your hand in lava how long til it melts your hand. Or would it just melt your hand the second it goes in.

OK, I see a lot of comments about the reason why a vampire doesn't have a reflection, is because mirriors used to be made with silver, and silver is a "pure" metal, and thus won't show the reflection of an "inpure creature" like a vampire. I believe that is false. Mirrors may have had silver in them back then, but I can't find any credible source stating that that was the reason why vampires didn't have a reflection. Everywhere I have looked, it just mentiones the belief that mirrors reflect a part of your soul, and vampires don't have souls, and thus no reflection. Nothing about any silver. If anyone has a credible source, PLEASE show me.

How to capture a black hole: Surround it in a 3×3 area with cobblestone walls, duh

One aspect of vampirology that so many get wrong is the garlic thing. It's not to ward them off, but the stench of death that they constantly emanate. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allicin was the only thing known at the time to cut through en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Putrescine and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadaverine . The death-stench of vampires was what was overpowering, not some mysticism or mesmerism, so the only way to keep your wits about you was to have something close at had that smelled strong enough to overpower it.

0:00 - Or maybe vampires have a physiology that causes their skin to affect light such in a way that makes them visible to our eyes, gets absorbed by mirrors instead of reflected back. (Though I can't explain why the stuff behind them is able to reflect off the mirror. But that's not really what you were complaining about, so I'll still count this as a win.)

In the movie "2010: The Year We Make Contact" are the obelisks black holes? *Also we should nuke Mars. Because: why not? Next question.

How fast can Superman swim 🏊‍♂️? Also how can I prove all forms of evolving exist. SWIM said there is microevolution but nothing more.. Now idk if we evolved from apes but how can I prove to him things evolving happens

First KZfaq merch that actually looks cool and has a simple design to it... Noice!

Was watching some old Speed Racer cartoons and was curious about some of the science behind the car's gadgets. Like how fast the saw blades would need to spin in order to remove a tree trunk's worth of material fast enough to cut it down at racing speeds. Or if the jack plates could actually make the car launch in the air? p.s. Love the show!

Of course vampires reflect light like everything else, which is solid. The believe of vampires having no reflection is a religious one and comes from the christian assumption, that silver is a holy metal. So the church statet that the holy metal would deny reflecting an unholy being like a vampire. Others say that the Mirror reflects your soul and since vampires have no soul, there would be no reflection. Because religion! Yeah, i think it's silly, either. And Kyle: Even if you don't like vampires, i like you. At the last GMSV (global meeting of supervillains) we did talk a little and i thought "What a nice guy! Completely bonkers for always calling assassins and trying to terraform the solar system for himself and his alien bretheren, but really nice!" :) P.S. I'm not a native english speaker, so if there are any mistakes, try to assume some european charme to them. ;)

I've never met anyone who thinks vampire's should be invisible. Aren't they OP enough?

Traditional mirrors are typically silver, perhaps with glass in front of it. I think other things are often used now, but let's go with that. Suppose that vampires emitted visible light, but *only* in the absorption spectrum of silver or glass. Then wouldn't they show up to your eyes but not in a mirror? (I don't know how true this is, but I've heard that the origin of that bit of mythology is that silver is a noble metal and wouldn't show anything evil)

Would you consider starting MUSKWATCH again? That show was awesome.

"these new back to school ...." Me: NOOOOOOOOOOO , don't say that

Vampires only have no reflection on silver backed mirrors. This is because of the lore on silver dealing with the refining process and it purity. Silver in monster lore has always been a repellent of evil and impureness. They would show up just fine on our aluminum backed mirrors nowadays.

Kyle i have a serious question. If we could capture and maintain one of the black holes that come out of the large hadron collider experiments, then feed it something like argon gas then made a thing that would absorb the heat from it, could it be use for power to power human society? Please answer im genuinely curious.

I may have misunderstood, but at 13:06 speaking of the sun turned into black hole of same mass, isn't gravitation dependant on the distance too? I mean since the black hole is much smaller than the sun, wouldn't the gravitation change? Sorry if bad English

Kyle....have you ever seen a vampire in real life?...NO!....because vampire ARE invisible. DUH! BAM! Ill take my SUPERNERD award now.

Domo, because science Kyle desu.

Kyle just needs a alter ego channel for his villian side. :D, maybe just a sub series of examining villian weapons :D

I hit that like button after that opening vamp extremely percussive P 😂😂

"you can't hold a black hole in your hand" Sigma begs to differ This man controls to singularities then makes them implode then generates two more while floating! Because science that good sir (what is that Melody!?!)

Let me get this straight! You are criticizing an undead human being, borderline immortal, who can turn into a bat, wolf or smoke, has supernatural strength, drinks blood and who can only come out at night because the sun will kill them and the problem you have is their reflection in the mirror! lol

14:38, my ears perk up as I am playing magic on my other monitor on MTGA!

What's the feasibility of space elevators/low-orbit solar panels that absorb energy before it gets 'diluted' by the atmosphere? Even if it's not a tethered structure (I'm lead to believe that the part in low orbit is where most of the weight is), would it be possible to have massive rechargeable batteries being charged by a orbital solar panel, and then have planes capable of low orbit flight go up and collect and replace them?

how does nuclear fission start in power plants? are the fuel rods heated up? is a current passed through them? or does the reaction start automatically when 2 fuel rods are put close enough to each other?

Love the new Bram Stoker hoodie

So Kyle, when will you do some science on Thalaron radiation (Star Trek Nemesis)?

Hey, Kyle, what's your take on space combat conditions where ships operate under a vacuum? I once read a science-fiction series where everyone on the large ships of a space fleet wore combat suits and would affix helmets when going into combat. The air would then be pumped from the general hull of the ship and kept in large storage tanks (presumably with scrubber apparatuses and whatever it would need to keep producing oxygen) near the center of the ship where if they were blown up it was pretty much game over anyway. The military personnel would then hook into oxygen lines if they were at station or use tanks for running around, but the general philosophy of the combat doctrine of doing this was that explosions couldn't create pressure wave and in cases of catastrophic depressurization of compartments people would not be so easily sucked out (not like in the movies, the author does point out they'd have to be pretty close, but that without air it was even more survivable because they're already buttoned up). So what's your take?

I like you Kyle and your work to lern pip to think

Kyle is my favourite villain, 'cause he actually teaches something. and he does have gorgeous plans

Hi Kyle, I really liked the last 2 episodes on black holes. An idea occured to me while watching. If humans had the ability to create and move black holes would it be possible to arrange an array of them to enable us to reach high speeds for interstellar travel? Specifically could we use gravity assist on a spacecraft by strategically placing several black holes at the correct distances from one another to make the craft go faster and faster? Is this even possible? What is the maximum speed that could be achieved?

*"I don't pull Punches, I pull Screenshots..."* best quote of the year?

Is there any chance there could be some child sized merch? Because Science is my nephew's favorite thing to watch and it's really fueled his love of learning and science. I'd love to be able to get him something for christmas.

Okay @Kyle there are two popular explanations for why vampires aren't in mirrors. The first is exactly what your saying, they are more spirit than body (mostly invisible) and the image you see of them is being deposited into your brain telepathically. This is why they can change appearance and shape - they simply change how they appear in your mind as they have no body to speak of. The second is a riff off that where - they are not invisible but seeing them in the mirror is completely unfiltered and what you see is soo horrific that your brain actively tries to blot it out so rather than being invisible in mirrors your brain just says "Nope nope. Nothing there - it's way better than what I actually saw" and your just left with a horrific feeling of dread.

Hey Kyle, long time watcher first time commenter. The reason vamps traditionally can't be seen in mirrors is because mirrors used to be made with silver. A vampires weakness being silver, they can't be seen in a mirror. I'm sure you already knew this though. Keep up the good work

hi i was wondering if a space ship can use its electrolyzers to provide thrust, instead of only providing oxygen. and do they use the hydrogen created with it as fuel ?

Lol this episode is extraordinarily entertaining

One thing I never really understood about Hawking Radiation is how it seems to go on the idea that with the virtual particles, only or mostly the antiparticles end up going in past the event horizon. Wouldn't there be more or less an equal amount of both particle types going inside the black hole, or is there something about the antiparticles like a charge type that attracts it to the black hole?

with a black catchers mitt

Vampire explanation alternative: in the universe where vamipires exist, humans can only detect circularly polarized light with either right or left polarization. Vampires polarize light reflected off of them (as some materials do), and when the light bonces off of a mirror, the polarization inverts, rendering them invisible to us. If they were to be reflected more than once, we could be able to see them, but I'ts not usually that we see the reflection of a reflection of something, so that's where the misconception of them having no reflection came from. Also, being able to see only right or left polarized light wouldn't affect too much of the interaction with the rest of the world to for us, except it would be about half as bright.

Aaahhhhhhahahaha, " What is this tumbler? No that would make you dead." Love this guy.

I remembered something about the vampire reflections was something to do with the silver myth.

The vampire reminds me of a conversation I had with my dad watching Transformers 1. "There is no way that building could have handled the weight of that robot." "So the talking aliens that transform into cars were fine, but this is too much?"

LOL I was hoping the next episode would be about vampires, nuking Mars is great too tho 🤣

You can feed it from one side only and the tugging and pulling would cause it to move In the opposite direction

50 Seconds in and I already have a comment. :D I agree with your comment about Vampires and reflections. I also agree with NereidAlbel in that the older mirrors used silver and therefore only reflect pure instead of Evil Undead. Anyways, the Dr Who version of Vampies not having reflections is simply because the creatures are using a masking device to look human, but their devices can't mask reflections, and their forms are so complex that the human brain is unable to comprehend them so it ignores them. Similar to how we can always see the bridge of our nose, but our brain filters it out so that we don't usually notice it. :D. Now to watch the rest. I'm sure it's awesome. They always are.

The supervillain beurocracy bit. Love it.

An now the final question how can we make a small black hole? The gravity limit is about 3 solar masses but if we want a black hole the mass of car we have to compress it enough to get it to become dense enough so it falls into an singularity. Is there a Methode in since fiction or better since which does make it possible? Also would this be an direct mass radiation converter where we have an black hole with an mass where the hawking radiation is big enough where we have to feed it constantly or it would just die, would it be self limtiing more food less radiation, less food good by black hole? is it save to pet it on earth or ist there the risk it could get to big and eat the earth? an other show on youtube calculated an black hole whit the mass, mass not size of an coin would explode like an nuclear bomb so i think it could be an manageable mass to but on an space ship. For an space ship it would be the ideal energy conversion system because it is not relevant if you get kille by an accident whit an black hole antimatter or an nuclear reactor there is always an risk. but black hole you have practical endless power would also make sense in the earth space ship. i have plucked the numbers in an black hole whit the mass of 1 000 000 tons would give an constant energy output of 356 Tera watt an has a life time of 2665 Years it has an radius of 1,48e-9 nm and would eat 4g of mass per second to stay its size, if the online calculators of matter to energy are right. with an distance from the black hole of 8cm you would experience an pull of 1g at 1mm=6700g 1ym=6700000000g very interesting concept

The Dyson sphere idea would also fix the nocturnal disruption problem. If we build a complete containment surrounding mini-star Jupe-jupe not only do we get to capture and use all that energy, we keep it from reaching Earth to disrupt our pleasant nighttime sky.

Big brother Jupiter is our saving grace. Its pretty nifty with its gravitational pull. Meteors and asteroids that make close fly-bys, get sucked in, making it a far away shield from these space rocks that would've bombarded the Earth. Thanks for the video Kyle ^~^. I absolutely love these stellar videos

Kyle isn't just any super villain, if he dies (for instance sucked up by a black hole) his consciousness just transfers into a clone.

I have seen diagrams of the magnetic field around a black hole. Does this indicate that magnetic flux lines are able to escape a black holes gravity or is the energy generated from something outside it?

Kyle Hill and MatPat for department of space, science, and science stuff 2020. Let's make it happen!

This whole talk (teehee) got me thinking: 1 - If the sun did turn into a black hole, would it emit visible light and heat from the solar wind of the transformed sun? And if so, would it put out the equivalence of the suns heat/light? 2 - When the Enterprise tried to Warp away from the black hole in the 2009 movie (That was TEN YEARS AGO?? Crap, I'm old), would that work? And would that effect the black hole in any way? Keep it up, Kyle!

"Black Hole Mug" sounds like a Weird Al parody. :D :D :D

i have a question! how fast does gravity work or populate? lets say the sun is suddenly not there how long would it take for the lack of gravity effect us? is it 8 minutes or instant?
