Y'all people need to watch the whole video before making comments like, "That's not how physics works! REEE!" Have some patience. I explain everything in the video by the end... Sheesh.

Personally, I'm the heaviest object in tears of the kingdom.

"The heavier object should hit the ground first" Galileo Galilei is turning in his grave Nintendo.

It’s not just a bolder it’s a rock

Calling it at 2:00 minutes. The Gloom rock has specially programed physics

The moment you showed how it dropped faster than the other block despite losing in the previous weight experiments, I knew it'd be because of how they work in the Gohma fight. Still pretty cool that those special physics apply outside the battle when you just autobuild them.

The heaviest object in TOTK is the emotional weight of knowing there is no DLC coming.

The Gatanisis... "Shriene?" Made me laugh way more that it should have

You guys are all thinking the wrong way. This is a Minecraft situation where the main character is the heaviest object in the game

Very interesting. While the theorist in me wants to make a claim that the Gloom nature of the stone might be causing it to act different than other objects... I think you are completely correct. It acts this way for the sake of the boss fight, and they *probably* didn't really expect people to take it out of that context and play with it. They were wrong.

I’m *shocked* the videogame with magic and water generating hydrants doesn’t perfectly mirror our reality

Yippee! It's finally out! This was beyond enjoyable to work on with you.

the fall test made my inner physics nerd cringe so hard their spine shattered into a quintillion pieces...

The larger globules have a weight of 160,001 and a random (normally unstealable) box that weighs 64,000 (found in Jikais Shrine)

I love how the bread pirate makes science/ in-game science actually FUN and INTERESTING

I’d like to see you TRY to top me. No I will not go directly upwards.

At the start I heard "this is a glock." Is it just me that heard that?

Does this maybe hint at how Ganondorf’s magic works? The gloom boulders and the marbled rock roasts are made of the same material, and both vanished from the surface after Marbled Gohma was defeated. I also thought it was interesting that the gorons didn’t seem to be getting full from eating the marbled rock roasts, but maybe I’m missing something. Every object in the game obeys the laws of physics, yet the gloom boulder is made of an unnatural material. It is actually operating outside what is physically possible. I’m going out on a game theory limb here, but were the properties of these gloom-objects determined by Ganondorf when he created them, or is gloom just a dark substance he gained control over when he obtained the secret stone? This video makes me want to see if there’s anything more we can learn about the gloom. Very cool! ☺️

I was weighting for this.

"This. Is a glock." -The Bread Pirate 2024

So basically the devs let these one specific kind of boulders defy physics for the purpose of a better boss fight XD

This was a great video, thanks Bread!

short version: it's a thor's hammer situation, gloom boulder is magically enhanced

No wonder those monsters died. That rock went from no speed to 40m/s immediately!

Honestly the way the rock just explodes after a few seconds is hilarious to me, every single time.

I can wait to send this video to everyone who says that the Marbled Gohma Rock is the heaviest thing in TOTK.

Great Video Bread! And incredible job on the editing too, Swack! Now I’m wondering what would happen if you fused Blocky and the Gloom Rock together? Would it fall faster or slower?

This brings back memories of the time my mother randomly entered my room and asked me why heavier objects still fall at the same rate as lighter ones. Good times.

Video goes hard, great job Swack!

Technically speaking if you took the total horizontal movement (Which can be gathered with Pythags old theorem on the X and Y axis), and halve it, you'd have then a new horizontal axis to pair against the height Gloom did gain. I already did the math based on the flight at 3:55:, which means that Gloom had a travel distance of about ~60.3156 meters

It's always fun to run physics experiments in this game, but the truth is that the laws of physics do not actually exist in Hyrule, they're just simulated and programmed to seem like it. Hence the Gloom Rock having the illusion of more weight, when it just is specially coded to fall differently. Wait until you find out that instead of having weight at all, the game just dynamically changes Link's mass. Depending on whether you're standing, crouching, climbing, ragdolling, swimming, etc., Link's mass ranges from 10 to 700, just for whatever will "feel" right to the player.

1:22 My bad... Thanks for showing The Crusher though!

The whole time you were talking about fall speed measuring weight, my physics-brain was getting grumpy. I felt thoroughly trolled when you then went into explaining the constant acceleration of gravity. 😂

Dang, this was really interesting! I love this kinda science stuff, abs this was edited really well too

Ah, a refreshing can of Bread Lite!! Lmao, great vid and great job, Swack too!

Good stuff. I thought the editing was good (and I enjoy your sign off as it's from my favorite movie). Succinct, good speed, well done.

LOVE watching stuff like this just fun to learn a little bit more about totk

I love your videos man I just recently got Totk and It's a lot of fun.

Btw you could just use trigonometry to figure out how far the rockets pushed the gloom rock but as you said it’s not needed

Damn I love these videos about something but nothing at the same time.

I feel happy to know i figured it out as soon as i saw the scale test. I was like yup its using its boss code

My first thought was the slam was cause of the boss fight, glad you came to the same conclusion

already knew the whole gohma boulder thing but still an interesting enough video to watch

Wow. I'm blown away. Honestly. That was great.

fun fact : there is no acceleration due to gravity in tears of the kingdom this can be concluded as even if you dive as link you fall at a constant speed with no acceleration

The fact that a Gohma Boulder Hydraulic Press doesn't go _completely_ wild when spawned above non-flat surfaces or having rockets strapped to it is a testament to how polished the physics engine of this game is. A lesser game would have this thing clip inside other physics objects or the ground and cause both to go completely ballistic - that scale in the desert wouldn’t be usable afterwards!

i think that the gloom boulder its more like a phisical projectile that we weren't meant to be able to get out of the boss fight

My compliments to the editor, this was awesome! ^^

(6:06) I'm boutta cast testicular torsion on this man. LOOK UP THE EQUATION FOR GRAVITATIONAL ACCELERATION, SHORTSTACK! THE MASS OF BOTH OBJECTS AFFECTED FACTORS IN! This is Morty building a shelf with his sad, caveman eyeballs all over again.

It's possible that the gloom rocks have a gravity modifier (same way that some bows fire arrows that are less affected by gravity like the zora bow and botw's ancient bow). I'd guess that the Gloom Rocks have higher acceleration for boss fight reasons

You're telling me somebody bread this pirate

I think it is more useful to ask "which one is better as a weapon?" I find that bigger block unpractical to fit in a lot of possible situations, regardless of how much it weights.

I was wondering if it was because it was programmed to go at a very specific speed, giving the illusion of the Gloom Rock being heavier, cool to realize I was right. It's always interesting to see objects that throw off the community simply because the physics of the object are different from everything else. 🤔

It's hilarious to see the properties of the Gloom Boulder ! You can tell right from how it behaves it was not made to be physically accurate, but to be a proper projectile for Marbled Gohma. While in the fight it looks fair, but when the boulder is taken outside of it it makes zero sense, I love it. I bet if Nintendo designed its physics the same way as the other objects in the game the fight would have belt worse, with improper projectile speeds and stuff.

Fun video and nice explanations!

Ich kann nicht glauben, dass ich mir 10 Minuten ein Video über Fallende Steine angesehen habe und es spannend fand

Nice Barn!

To get a good Negading score I physically attached the gloom rock to the big cube, it works pretty well ~

Banger btw will you make vlogs on your 2nd channel (I really love ur vlogs😂)

bro looks like he the real slim slady

More physics videos please!

Me as a Physics major ... and you already explained the wheight fall thingy

All of Hyrule is the heaviest object in Tears Of The Kingdom.

Nice video!

Weight doesn't determine how fast an object hits the ground, gloom canonically damages things upon contact in game, and the game files state the block weighs more. After the premise of the video was stated, this was my thought process.

5:40 nah air resistance needs to be negligilbe to make them accelerate similarly. Lots a stuff going on with fluid dynamics from navier stokes to blasius

Planets fall towards each other at the same speed as everything else. Accel = Force ÷ Mass. F(Gravity) = G×Mass(earth)×Mass/distance^2 The masses cancel out acceleration is only dependent on distance. Planets actually gall towards each other slower than a rock to the ground because they start further away. The masses it

One must imagine Rocky with a slam mode

Love your videos there very entertaining

Gloom boulder spawns as an already consistent vector? Interesting…

Make a similar video to the lookout landing one but for Hyrule Castle town and Castle.

A fact if you wanna use it in a different video if you don’t know already cus it took me 7 years to notice this but did you know, Beedles backpack is shaped like a beetle representing his like for beetles, there might be other details I missed lol

Cool Video!!

The gloom boulder seems to be denser then anything else, at this size could result all the test results and their interesiting interactions

This video ROCKS 😂

"If one hits the ground faster it is heavier" Where did you get that from?

Second! 🍞

Your my new science teacher 😂

4:50 taking a guess now, there is something in the code that makes the gloom boulder have a greater force of impact/Velocity increase over time then other object. might potential have something to due with how they work in Gohma's boss fight

If a slam gloom bolder is attached to different objects is its set velocity changed?

THIS ROCK CAN GO BY A FEW NAMES

Gloom boulder physics hacks confirmed

8:35 does it alter the acceleration of any object glued to it as well?

My guess is because it's something to do with making sure it has consistency in the boss fight

Sneaky face drop! Science makes my brain go *fzzzzzzz*

The only reason why the “gloom rock” won round three was because in the boss fight the marbled gohma shoots them and surrounds you so they needed to fall faster to surround link Nintendo put this in the code

Gloom boulder is still king of the hydrologic press.

Does it still explode if you attatch it to the end of a weapon?

6:51 If Issac Newton would be alive this would be his quote

0:10 I'm so curious about that data spreadsheet, is it public? Thanks :)

Very interesting, but I'm disappointed that this video didn't take the final step: How high would you have to drop the 50k unit mass for it to hit the ground at the same speed as the gloom boulder's slam mode?

4:20 A former coworker of mine used to call me Dilly Dilly, so this clip made me laugh more than it did in its original context.

2:11 why isn’t the orb tied for first place then?

Gravity makes plans, Nintendo laughs.

It’s because in the boss fight they have to go fast

Ganons magic has been acting up recently!

4:38 ah yes… this is how physics works

Relevant: the experiment of a bowling ball and a feather falling in zero gravity TL;DR version is that, in normal circumstances, a bowling ball will fall faster than a feather because 1) it's more dense/has more mass, and 2) because the feather encounters air resistance that causes it to float on the way down. But if you put these objects in a zero gravity environment, like the giant vacuum chamber at NASA, then the bowling ball and the feather will fall at the exact same speed and hit the ground at the exact same time because there's no air resistance. Overall mass of the objects doesn't factor in in this specific circumstance because both objects are being acted upon by the same force of gravity How does this apply to Glock and Blocky? Based on the first two tests, it's possible that Glock is just *less dense* than Blocky, so it weighs less on a scale than Blocky and can fly further up into the sky than Blocky can. This is of course completely ignored in the drop test when Glock is in the Slam state, but in its Normal state, Glock behaves exactly as a *less dense* object would. I'd be interested to see how long it takes for Glock to hit the game's terminal velocity in its Normal state; a less dense object would take longer to hit terminal velocity than a more dense one would because of air resistance

i love science with bread pirate 😂

1:23 I’ve got to try this
