"It takes 3 GJ of energy to vaporize a human being. These are things that I know." What a perfect line.

Kyle: “I’m not a super villain” Also Kyle: “I asked an astrophysicist how much energy it would take to destroy a planet”

0:48 - I mean, he _DOES_ use an entire bottle of shampoo and conditioner every time he showers. That's actually canon, according _Crisis Core._

"What if a SUPERNOVA hit you?" Me: I'd only lose half my health, drink a potion, and get back to work (if it were available.)

Kyle: What if a SUPERNOVA Hit You? Me: Gone, reduced to atoms.

Ah JRPG's... When you summon an Avatar of the concept of existance to bring the entire collective kinetic force of a black hole down onto a group of two rats and a slime.

Kyle: I’m not a supervillain *makes joke about Aerith” Me: you’re not a villain... you’re a MONSTER

just an addendum, Summoned monsters often live in another dimension separate from the human world, and travel between the realms is restricted or frowned upon. In other games, summons seem to possess the ability to transport their enemies into a pocket dimension to do battle in. This is difficult to perceive when the player summons a monster against enemies, but in Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-, the summons Genesis calls to attack Zack teleport Zack into another realm for the fight, Zack returning to the normal world when the summon is defeated. it can be then assumed that due to the glass shattered screen effect used to indicate a summon being used for super nova means sephiroph is dragging the party into his own made dimension. meaning normal physics don't apply.

8:17 "I'm not a supervillain" hmmmmm that's what a supervillain would say..

All jokes aside, Kyle did a phenomenal job in the editing and the concise information that he provides in this video. The fact that Sephiroth's attack would take 4 hours in reality, makes you think about how big this universe actually is and how powerful Sephiroth is.

Has anybody noticed that Kyle went off on his own started the facility and suddenly there is a worldwide pandemic? Coincidence? I think not.

"And then what would the game be... Metal Gear Solid?" Shots fired.

What if the omnitrix was real??, what consequences would bring to the body transforming into aliens??

I've always wondered, If Sephiroth could cast Supernova anythime he wanted, why did he need Meteor?

Sephiroth has the ability to make you see things. Chances are they are standing there, seeing a cutscene and Sephiroth runs around slapping them real hard.

Kyle: What is this "Metal Gear Solid"? Shot fired...see you in about 5 hours.

"If your group is actively leveled". Wrong. This move does a % of damage. It will never kill your party. Even at level 1, it will not kill you.

7:37 Ah, I was wondering if he was going to mention the last episode he made about supernovas.

8:17 Something tells me you *ARE* a supervillain.

Kyle: ". . . silver haired weirdo . . ." Also Kyle: ". . . , let's be honest, really great hair."

You keep saying "i am not a super villain" but you know how exactly how much energy is needed to vaporise a human. I am gonna go with my first instinct here !

these videos make him seem more like a super villain than ever on BS, love it

8:27 why do I feel like there is a hidden back story to all this

"What If Supernova Hit You?" I would die then automatically revive myself because I have the Phoenix materia paired up with the Final Attack materia. Sooooooo yeah. 😅

00:48 I happen to know of another villain with way more amazing hair, and he's easily much cooler😁 Also can we acknowledge that A.R.I.A. is probably the best thing to come out of Kyle's shift to his own channel? Their interactions are pure gold.

Hey Kyle! I followed you from the Void (not a stalker I SWEAR) and I'm LOVING the new style of videos. I definitely feel an air of a certain other former show, but unbridled. Keep it up man!

"It would take 4 and a half ours for a cutscene and then what would it be?" "It would be Metal Ge-" "Metal Gear Solid" "Hey, that's my line!"

That dig at MGS reminded me that doing an episode on the science of MGS might be fun, there's all kinds of things from human photosynthesis to storing millions of volts of electricity in your body to controlling bees to do your bidding, not to forget the titular bipedal tanks of the series I mean compared to JRPGs even the crazier things in the series are relatively tame, but they might turn into fun calculations like how many bees it would take to carry a grenade, what was Volgin's limit to handling electricity, how much pressure Raiden had to endure trying to stop Outer Haven and so on

Just so you know; Chocobo translates into horse-bird, and "Kweh" translates into "neigh". xD So...now you know what a chocobo is!

This video is exactly why I subscribed! Kyle, A.R.I.A., keep up the good research!

Kyle. Love the show! Please give us a "Footnotes" for this show. That was one of my favorite parts of the old show.

The *Im not a supervillain* quote had me laughing so dam hard

Does anyone else get bothered that he only walks a couple steps into a HUGE lab and doesn’t even get past the door frame?

I always found it weird that it wasn't set on Earth, yet was surrounded by the same solar system as us

" Too soon! " I agree with the A.I. You should do an episode about Bahamut's cloud splitting attack. The amount of energy it takes to suddenly push clouds aside like that, what it means for the ground when the beam hits it, and if the energy is powerful enough to pierce the planet and touch the core. I can't imagine that'd be good. Or better yet cover the energy output of a Hyper Nova.

We're fighting Sephiroth because he's trying to kill everyone with a meteor, and then he goes and pulls this OD move out.

"I'm not a supervillain" Yeah ok, I've seen you play MTG

Ahh I love that Kyle plays FF too. Such a great series

I always thought of it as a simulation, like he's trying to send them to a dimension where that supernova happened.

...I miss his groovy background music 😔

I've been meaning to ask this for a while, but does anyone know if the neutrino rush described in the Because Science Video about the sun going supernova would leave radiation on the planet and render it uninhabitable (ignoring the giant explosion that follows it) or would it *simply* kill everything alive but not harm the planet or anything on it? *Not really simple

Even sepiroth needs to do some of this math in the beginning of the cutscene

I remember Sephiroth cast this on my party five times.

I'm getting to really like the new format of your show Kyle :) Keep up the great work! Side note: Aria is hilarious!

9:00 There is something wrong with that ship, like it seems to be slowing down, also where do you get the reaction mass for an engine like that in a ship that small?

There you are! Thought I was receiving images for a 5LY distant space mirror on the old channel. Glad you're free and can continue to science the hell out of.. everything 🤘🖖

"Dead from the nutrinos" Flashbacks.

Kyle: "I'm not a super villain." Immediately says "Splody splody" Me: ...k.

Shows Awesome, love how the graphics keep getting better each episode too (though that might just be me)!😁 Anyways... at 11:04 you said throwing a giant ball of iron at the sun wouldn't work, but actually, it might. Iron is inert to fusion as it takes more energy to fuse it than it releases during fusion, so it would sink to the core and gravity would start a collapse, blah blah blah. Essentially if it were big enough it'd kickstart the sun into going supernova. So, yeah. Love the show!😁

Love video game related science, it’s my favorite! Kyle, I really liked you giving out extra factoids during the credits - that feels like a natural and enjoyable way to fill the time as the Patreon names scroll. I hope you keep that up!

Why is this channel not over 1M subs yet? Come on youtube. Get your shit together. This man deserves it!!!!!

Re: the blitzball question at the end: I think the game, or at least the deep lore, explains how it works! The pyreflies, the little beacons of light that come off of dead monsters and congeal into Aeons, aren't actually beings at all but a natural form of energy, not unlike FFVII's Mako. The energy can, like mako, crystalize into spheres, but also can be used to manipulate other matter into spherical shapes. These forces are used to turn water into a sphere for blitzball; however, it has a necessary side effect for the sport in that it makes the water breathable to humans, akin to how there are experimental liquids that have been in development to allow humans to breathe despite liquid form (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_breathing). Certain liquids, like perfluorocarbons, have very high capacities for saturation by breathable gases, with some even being better than blood is for keeping those gases in. These fluids can act as a medium for those elements in the lungs, which is being studied for all sorts of projects like medical ventilation and deepwater diving (the first time I heard about this was on the old show "Seven Days," where the time travelling hero used a similar substance in a flight suit to minimize the risks of time travelling back to a submerged submarine - since his craft would land him in the ocean and under pressure, he needed a method of breathing that wasn't gaseous to aid with balancing to the pressure). It's thus possible that the process of making the water spherical is also altering the water, adding some substance to it that makes the liquid compatible with the lungs of the players. Thus, they wouldn't have to hold their breaths at all. It's been forever since I played, so I don't recall if players are able to speak in the blitzball field, but they certainly would be able to breathe if the chemistry was altered. Of course, we may not need that thorough an explanation for how Spiran humans can hold their breath that long. Real world freedivers can hold their breath for up to 10 minutes. Given how much of Spira's land is basically made up of small islands, anyone growing up in the more coastal regions (which is most of the people outside of the Al Bhed, and even then only those who reside in the desert), many of the natives would be used to swimming on a regular basis, and probably grew up practicing breath control techniques on a more regular basis as such. This could explain why Yuna, otherwise untrained in blitzball, could share a tender moment under the surface with Tidus without worrying about air (though, that cave was full of free floating pyreflies as well, and as a summoner she is exposed to them a lot more, so maybe they were helping a bit). But, if you want to be as athletic as a blitzer for extended lengths the breathable liquid probably would be a huge help.

Props to Smash Bros for reducing the attack time even more and still making it look bad ass. Fun fact: You cannot die from this attack in the original worldwide release game. It's programmed to only take 15/16th of the players party current health.

I absolutely love this Kyle Unchained Project. Thanks for your work, dude, you inspire me to be a science communicator.

It feels like your speaking another language that somehow I understand but do not remember learning. That is a fun feeling.

We need somebody, a hero, who can make a groovy music background like in the past

What the energy output of photosynthetsis and how much "green stuff" would it take to power a city?

I was waiting for this video for sooooo long. Thanks Kyle. Great episode!

The real question is how hes able to destroy the same planets over and over again and have them come back in the same fight, just to make us suffer from an obnoxiously long attack.

I love how there are shadows of your arms but not the table or any item of the table. HAHA +1 to these awesome vids.

The public wants to know! WHICH ff game is your favorite?

I appreciate the little footnote during the credit roll at the end. Not specifically the topic, but the idea of dropping little side facts that don't really fit into the rest of the video instead of just dancing for a second and then stepping off screen. I'd prefer literally anything over that, though.

"HOW MUCH DAMAGE WOULD IT DO?" All of it Kyle... all of the damage

This video has big "I cut my teeth in the ps2 era" energy.

So... What is your favorite Final Fantasy @Kyle Hill? Great episode, love your content!

Whoa ha that tripped me out for second when your hair switched color. When pulled buster sword outta mallet space

This is the first video that I feel gets back to what you were before you left BS. The humor was on point. Good job and hope to see more.

As happy as I am for you to have your own channel, I do really miss the math on the screen, do you think there is any what you could bring some of that back? If not I still love your videos, keep up the good work

I haven't started the video yet but I think if you were hit with a supernova you wouldn't feel very good unfortunately

I thought I'd seen all your videos and now you cross over into my favourite game. What a treat

The funniest thing about Super Nova is that it's a Gravity-element attack, which means it only ever does a fraction (15/16ths) of your health and can never actually kill your party, even if you are severely underleveled for the fight.

Kyle, the question that really matters is, what's your favorite game in the series? The people must know.

Kyle: "I'm not a super villian!!!" Me: Only Evil Kyle will say something like that lol.

I've had so many questions about the depiction of Supernova. Like how large/fast would a solid object have to be to not only escape vaporization approaching the Sun, but also enough to make it erupt into destabilization? How large would the Sun's explosion be? Could it actually reach our orbit?

Based on what I've gathered, a supernova detonating that close to our planet will not only do a lot of damage, but also cause frog, mini and confusion status

Chain link Knights of the Round 👌🏻

Anyone else notice when kyle releases a video so does "because science" coincident? I think not!

9:01 with your thrusters in full burn like that and your package floating with no additional acceleration itself… you’d just fly right past your package. Your thrusters should have been firing in the opposite direction to slow your total velocity to match the packages static velocity for proper intercept.

Seph doesn't cause a supernova, he sends you to a pocket dimension where the sun is already going supernova. These are the things I know.

One Winged Angel, arguably the best ff7 song. Sets such an epic precedent for the end scene.

This was a long 11 minutes to learn you would die

I love u take back science in gaming/comic/nerdy things!

Quite surprised that I missed this. Excellent video, it always boggles my mind just how much energy the sun represents. The numbers are just kinda overwhelming.

Kyle Hill reacts to Dr. Stone! Lets get this movement started!!!! 👇👍

Kyle's good at physics, but is he good at genetics? I want to know what it takes to mutate our chickens into Ridable Chocobos.

Kyle Hill's self titled KZfaq channel is the greatest thing to happen thus far in 2020.

3:47 Partial to what man, we need to know 7:28 nice reference to a different video 8:09 and we love you for it 8:47 i am interested, also wouldn't you have just kept flying off into space if your boosters stayed on? 10:05 in order 1) adorable 2) a lot of training, just like free divers 3) Games are expensive to make 4) get gud scrub

0:10 so basically there is this series called saints row

Reeeeeeeeeaaaaaaly not helping your "I'm not a villian" case.

You'd take gravity-based damage reducing your HP by 15/16th of your current HP, and may cause Confuse, Silence, and Slow. Nothing sleeping at an inn can't cure.

Thanks for the content. Converting it for homeschooling my first grader. He watches an episode then we do more research, write about what we learn then make something from what we learned. This has been awesome for engagement, bonding and maintaining sanity. THANK YOU

Guess this means I need to start turning on Notifications for this channel too. Thanks for the great video, Kyle!

Normal people have nightmares about someone like Sephiroth. Kyle has nightmares about Sephiroth being like, "Oh yeah? I've got your 3 GJ of energy right here."

I'm so glad that Kyle Hill is not stopping his video posts during this quarantine. THANK YOU, KYLE

Kyle you mad lad! The second you talked about the long cutscene I went MGS joke please? And you delivered my sir. I don't know what happened with needing the new channel but whatever it was I'm here to support you sir. Your doing god's work super nerd.

“Let’s begin with the obliteration of Pluto” I guess that’s better than starting two planets further in

Great video Kyle just curious could you please do a video about the science of Skyrim specifically if shouting/sound waves could actually do some damage in real life like the shouts do in game, also the science of how to climb sheer cliffs/mountains

Super Nova is actually percentage based, which means it aways leaves the party on yellow health if fully healed

"And why does Active Time Battle suck?" Ooof, hot take there XD

"I'm not a supervillain." Internal monologue of EVERY supervillain....
