Thanks for watching Super Nerds! *Here's a a link to last week's video* if you haven't peeped it yet: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nJqBm8mo1dzIon0.html -- kH

Letting you know: Hell yes to the episode about the demon core

_"The world's smartest man poses no more threat to me than the world's smartest termite."_ *~ Dr. Manhattan*

"He can control the sweater of reality" -Thor2019

"If you see something glowing blue, do not go near it!" me, running away from my PC

So are we gonna get a sweater that says "of reality" on it? Can we.... please?

"I teleported home one night with Ron, and Syd, and Meg. Ron stole Maggie's heart away, and I got Sydney's leg" - Douglas Adams

Many of Spider-man's classic villains have a science background. Lizard, Doc Oc, Green Goblin, Mysterio, etc. You get the idea You'd fit right in.

"Stopped time" at this moment, inside my head: *ZA WAAAARUDO*

As someone who has tried the Naruto run and subsequently eaten shit by putting too much mass too far forward, I am very excited to see this potentially happen to an Olympic sprinter. That probably sounds worse than it is.

Using my vast knowledge of physics I have deduced that everything stated so far is incorrect. According to my studies, Dr Manhattan is actually a mutated Smurf who moisturizes well to get his magnificent glowing skin. Much like Kyle's hair.

"if you see anything that is glowing blue by itself, do NOT go NEAR IT!" - Kyle Hill 2019

You’ve covered just about every other sci-fi monster, now it’s nearing Halloween build me a ghost Kyle.

On that opening bit: I've always found that "store waste in barrel in a hole where it MAY someday break open causing a localised disaster" is a lot better than "spew waste directly into the atmosphere from a chimney where it GUARANTEED causes a worldwide disaster". It's so weird that people are so up in arms against nuclear power.

Thor: "What if Dr. Manhattan disintegrated you" Me: Then I'd be disinterested.

RE: Dr. Manhattan Cherenkov radiation: But he body tho. Made of mostly water. Reactions happening under his skin cause Cherenkov radiation. Also coincides with the "leaking Electrons" quote. Also, why not both?

Kyle is like Vsause. He is slowly losing his mind to all of this...

The Demon Core is horrifyingly intriguing, I'd love to hear more about it

I love how Kyle always shows how much he cares about our safety, from maintaining to getting flu shots. Thank you Kyle, I'm going to go get my flu shot!

4:13 Speaking of time dilation, one really cool thing I learned thanks to Phil Plait on Crash Course Astronomy, is if you can find a big enough black hole, apparently you may be able to enter the event horizon without being spaghettified. Once you cross the event horizon though, and Phil made sure to emphasize this: ALL of time passes. Meaning everything that's entered the black hole from the outside, from its perspective, hasn't entered it yet, and won't until time itself stops existing. But if this is the case, and black holes have a finite lifespan, then this invariably also means that you can, quite literally, "never-ever" truly fall into a black hole. I actually wonder though, as it brings up two questions to me 1: If I fell into a black hole, alive, and "all" of time passes by as I cross the event horizon, would that mean that the black hole dies before I enter it? 2. when the black hole dies, does all the material that was about to enter it gets flung out into.... space? Without the gravitational force of the black hole crushing down on it anymore, what if all the material expands (electron and neutron degeneracy pressure) in a way similar to the big bang/inflation? If you think about it, a black hole is just one big universal 'save state'.

19:13 Kids love this. When I pick my son up at school (they have last period PE) I see kids Naruto running all over the place. It's hilarious.

I got my flu shot last week! 💉 I resisted getting them for years because i thought they gave me the flu, but I was convinced to go get it this year thanks in large part to science educators on KZfaq. Understanding the science behind the flu and the flu shot makes a difference. Also, I got the flu last year and it was the _worst_

Loved the Riker chair thing! XD

Hey Kyle, love the show. Finally worked up the courage to start commenting. I think teleportation and memory loss is totally okay and wouldn't even need to have the accuracy of a Star Trek teleporter. Since Manhattan is experiencing both the past, present, and future simultaneously he still retains all of his memories or is able to still access them.

imagine having the most successful science class since Bill Nye

5:00 I think Laplace had a demon that could do that.

Hey Kyle! Loved the Dr. Manhattan show! The part that peaked my interest was Dr. Manhattan quantum tunneling to Mars For a while now I've had this theory about a Cyclical Big Bang, where after the heat death of our universe and some unimaginably long period of time, say 2 googleplex years as a ballpark estimate, every particle in existence manages to quantum tunnel to a single point in the universe despite the infinitely small probability of it This becomes the next big bang and the cycle starts again, do you think if given enough time, monkeys and typewriters style, that this could happen? Also this leads to questions like, what if our big bang wasn't 100% of the universe but just a fraction? Could that solve the matter/antimatter big bang mystery? Are there other Big Bangs quintillions of light years away? In an infinite void of multiple big bangs has a universe ever restarted inside an already existing one? Could the opposite happen? Could every particle quantum tunnel away to different areas of space and thus our universe suddenly vanishes? What if only half of all particles did this? Granted the odds of those events happening during our time might be 13 billion out of 2 googleplex If the universe is cyclical then is there no beginning and it has just always existed? Because if something doesn't exist then it can't come into existence without the parts needed to bring it into existence having already existed Going too deep into the philosophical domain now Long Live Because Science! Your fellow sciencey communicator guy just without a youtube channel

"...but if they wanted to sponsor." HANDS DOWN, the funniest line of dialogue in your repertoire, Kyle!!🤣👌

Finally some more Manetaneing. Thank you Kyle.

My mane is coming along nicely, these tips are definitely getting yoinked for my routine.

Kyle, i work in nuclear power in the US (mech engineer in nuclear maintenance research) and i wanted to thank you for the nuclear power plug! It is very safe and it is our priority in all things we do to consider the safety of the public. Stay awesome and thanks for making science accessible to all! Folks like you and The Mythbusters are making science, math and engineering fun!

Hey Kyle Love the Show! and Heck yeah we Need a Demon Core episode!

Hey nice vids as always Have you considered doing a video about the theory that uses the professor on Futurama, about the ship engine doesn't move the ship but the space around it?? Great job and good luck

I would imagine that there might be some sort of aerodynamic effect for anime running but I can't imagine that this would surpass the balancing and physiological advantages traditional arm pumping give.

I would love to see a full-length video on the Demon Core. You have told (slightly) different stories of what really happened, and I would love to see a legitimate story on it. Love the show dude!

Hey Kyle, that was a fine Riker Manoeuvre! Why is it that at the end of your main show, you always have a part at the end where you look to the side of the camera? Always wondered.

Yes to the demon core episode!

Thanks for the tips! I will make sure to follow that advice

Kudos for the Riker maneuver :) Love the show keep it going .

As for the time travel feasibility bit: As far as I remember, there are some possible methods of backwards timetravel within our currently known laws of physics but all of them require infinite amounts of energy, exotic matter, negative energy densities, etc. (basically stuff that is mathematically possible but practically impossible)

Would love to see your take on the Demon Core, btw. Certainly an interesting tidbit in nuclear history.

Dude, I think I love your videos more and more every time. Could you make a video where you explain more about the philosophy and science behind "you being you"? Like, when the doctor reassembles every piece of his body, or if you made an exact copy of yourself on an atomic or smaller scale, would that still be you? That subject fascinates me. Thanks for the mane-tain tips, tho.

If Kyle Hill and Matt Mercer occupied the same room at the same time, the world would implode from the sheer hair sexiness

I sneezed right when you said, "Flu shot".

He went follicle-deep on that one

Kyle, I wish this channel was only Footnotes. Love this show!

The commander Ryker sit was.. amazing.

I would NEVER step into a Star Trek style teleporter.

The Rorschach jokes lol. 😭 he was the best character RIP Rorschach.

15:35 - "disassemble and reassemble". No disassemble #5!

I'm hyped for the next episode! Can't wait to see the differences in air resistance vs. biology 😆

It wasnt the enterprise, it was a ship Riker served on before his post there.

Would absolutely love to see a episode about the demon core. I myself find it very interesting.

I got a flu shot like 2 hours ago and feel unreasonably validated now because Kyle said it's a good idea. Also: Teleporting! I'm of the mind that it would not be you (in the sense that the question is usually posed) on the other side. However, I think the teleporter example is actually a good analog to discuss a related question: do you ever maintain you? Every moment of every day you experience things, you move around, reactions are taking place, etc. etc. and the only thing that really remains consistent on a core level is that all your bits traversed the distance between where you were and where you are. I posit that you are _constantly_ becoming a new entity, and it just happens that the newest version has some information collected from the previous versions (memory), giving an illusion of continuity. I think the "teleporter kills you and makes a copy that isn't you" idea requires a) that there is something "else" consistent throughout your life and you're not being reinvented every time you have a thought or feel something or just, like, exist for an amount of time and b) that whatever this thing is, it would be somehow immune to being duplicated elsewhere. Since we have yet to find anything other than the same matter and energy we've always seen inside us, I'm tentatively going to suggest there isn't anything like that at all, but if there is and it is discovered in the future it stands to reason that a core function of any teleporter would be to also replicate that "thing". So even if something like a continuous consciousness exists in a way somewhat independent of our bodies, I don't think there's any good reason to expect that this "thing" can for some reason not also be de-/reconstructed, as that would make it unique to pretty much anything that's ever been observed (so far, of course).

Hey Kyle! Long time watcher. Love you content! So check this out little peace of information out. Dr. Manhattan does actually state exactly how he teleports in the Before Watchmen comic. He tells Ozymandias that "I move space around me so that I don't move, space moves".

dr.manhattan: life is meaningless 3 secons later... wait i was wrong, because you are a miracole and i love you...lets go home☺️

"We talk a lot about nuclear power and nuclear physics and nuclear material melting your skin off. . . " Me: "But we have yet to talk about the guy who's DNA got melted!!"

Hey Kyle, could you do a hair maintenance guide video? We'd all really appreciate it, and you could just refer people to that video when people asked for advice in the future.

That Riker sit. I appreciated that.

Was enjoying the episode until the bit about the flu shot - then I was loving it. Keep doing you, Kyle.

Could you guys explain the bleeding edge armour. (From the extremis iron man comic's)

I actually wanna see an episode of this article you wrote about!

Would love to see that episode

"Why he blue tho"

Have you ever thought about making an actual sweater of reality for Merch

From what I remember in college, arms moving while running act as a pump to help air move more quickly in and out of the lungs thus increasing oxygen levels in the blood. Running with your arms behind you would likely act against that and hamper your ability to quickly exchange gases. They also swing opposite of your legs, an example is when your right leg is forward your left arm is forward. This is to help maintain balance when running which is more unstable that walking. The Naruto run is likely an unstable type or run more prone to falling at higher speeds.

Kyle your explanation about how if teleportation is mapping a person's molecules while breaking them down is the same as how the stargate system work. It was also used in an interesting way in Doctor Who with Peter Capaldi. He had used a teleporter to keep making copies from the original mapping of his person.

The whole "What if we had a supercomputer to predict everything" doesn't really work cause that kind of computer isn't even *theoretically* possible.

Saving lives is worth a band-aid - Thor "Kyle Hill" 2019

A question about the cherenkov radiation, since he's blue and not exactly fleshy could HE be the medium the particles are moving through faster than light is in the medium of himself? Or... Second possible explanation, could the way he affects time be affecting the particles in some way?

16:44 Hahaha nice Riker Maneuver!

Do you think we can make a but run on Solar or Wind energy.??? What do you think. Keep up the good work. Love the show

As long as it's fast, I welcome it from Dr. Manhattan :P

I think that Dr. Manhattan teleports by disassembling his body and reassembles it elsewhere

HELL YES!!! GIVE US THE DEMON CORE, O DARK LORD KYLE! On the real, I am fascinated by that story and you do a great job with the show!!! Keep up the good work!

How about we start calling it "The Tapestry of Reality" since Tapestries also are at least commonly depicted recording time via history.

I would never enter a Star Trek teleporter.

Manhattan doesn’t need memories because he is simultaneously experiencing every moment of his life from birth to “death” (even though he couldn’t see further than the Nuclear war as “my future is clouded past that point”). Haven’t seen the film in 6 years but I remember him saying something like that. Essentially, if you broke your leg, you don’t need a memory of breaking it 20 years ago to know you’re in pain right now. And his “right now” also happens to be every point in his life. As he is pretty much extradimensional, he sees time the way we see a building - not brick by brick, but by its totality.

I am quite sure that the Riker impersonation is going to be the best part of my day!

If someone gets to 5x super nerd you should call them Hyper Nerd or Hyper Geek.

Show demon(?deamon)core pls

john has full control of his blueness he can concisely turn it off and down as he does for the camera during the interview scene

If you watch the movie. It shows that during the filming of a TV show, Jon dims his glow so they can film him.

Naruto? Anime? What cant be asked

Oh sure, give us the scientific advantage of running *after* the whole Area 51 raid. Smh

The game SOMA talk about this part of after the teleporting. It is not you after the teleport. It is just a perfect copy.

The idea of whether or not you are still you when you are teleported can also apply to much simpler things in a way. Like when you wake up, all you have of the past are your memories. How can you be sure that you are the same you that went to sleep the night before? Or even how do you know you are the you from 5 minutes ago and not a being that was just created right now with implanted memories of "your" past?

And we could GREATLY reduce the amount of that waste by reprocessing the spent fuel, or using same in a breeder reactor, or both....but nah, let's not. Thanks Carter :(

early squad where u at?

i notice how in fiction, characters with abilities using science to explain and adding real world logic they end up being way more powerful than it was before and that they might have more abilities to that than originally thought. But the person who created the character don't go too far in there powers so they can make a plot so it won't just end a show in seconds

so the teleporter that logs the position, momentum, and energy of every particle in your body is basically making a save file of your body and transferring it elsewhere. therefore if you saved this "file" you could theoretically reconstruct yourself in the past at any of the previous "saved" positions. if you scanned your brain than inserted that "code" into the younger body, you would be younger but still have your memories.

"It's so sad that Steve Jobs died of ligma." "Who's Steve Jobs?" "Ligma balls."

Just realized that Heizenberg’s uncertainty principle is one hell of a kink in teleportation plans involving scanning and recreating an exact replica in an alternate location lol

Can we PLEASE get a video with a sciencey explanation of earthbending, water ending, etc.

Sherbet rant had me dying..love the show Kyle. "Mane-tain" now needs to be a show. I don't have hair much but I feel the show would be interesting and beneficial.

Hey BecauseScience, been a fan of your show for ages!! Could you please look into the Demon Core? I'm guess with your prior research into it, you would be in a unique position to tell us so much about the Core, and I think it'd be one of your biggest vids!

Store all the waste in a mountian somewhere? Yuk! A Mountian!

I can't get over how fabulous his hair is

New hero found. Thank you sir

Hey Kyle! Love the vids. This most recent episode of "Mane-tain" has me inspired!! I've unfortunately started balding at the tender, innocent age of 16 and a half. I must know, are there REAL treatments out there that could give me a gorgeous noggin full of flowing brilliance like yourself?
