Being the "God of Thunder", many fans assumed this naturally meant Thor should be immune to all forms of electricity. However, in the film, Thor: Ragnarok, we saw several instances where the hero is not only effected, but fulled incapacitated tasers and other electricity based weapons. This aspect of the film left many fans scratching their heads, but does this shocking development actually make sense for everyone's favorite Asgardian? Kyle summons the Bifrost and hunts for answers in this week's episode of Because Science!

Thanks for watching Super Nerds! *Immediate correction* (yay): around 12:40 I meant to say "low frequency, high voltage" space taser. Apologies. What you may not know is that I film these episodes all in one go, and so sometimes I get tired enough after 3 hours or so to make simple mistakes. See you in Footnotes. -- kH

Nothing is immune to all things,as God of thunder he is immune to a point (as they say energy is energy) thus thor is not immune also as many of his opponents are not electrical based, he himself has no opportunity to condition himself to all forms but he could if he so chose to.

@Andrew Gray tho its not inconceivable that its a toxin thats hurting thor, I was assuming the video was right. With that said, ur right electricity itself is not really a weakness. But assuming the video is right, it also points out that he can be hurt by it given the right conditions. If a super villian were to take advantage of this, given the amounts of electricity thor can normally channel, and kill Thor with his own powers. It maybe possible that a relatively weak display of his own powers maybe enough to kill him in that instance. Tho that last part is just speculation on my part.

There's something I think several people tend to forget about the scenes with the "taser", and it's the way it makes Thor's veins stand out the way they do and the convulsions, neither of which is caused by something that produces laser-like effects. Instead, I would posit that it's some sort of neurotoxin that causes Thor's nervous system to shut down, and that the sparks and electrical noises are his body and powers struggling to fight it off, as we do not see this happen to Loki later in the movie. While this explanation covers the little neck implant, it wouldn't cover the shock net, but unless I'm mistaken the science presented here works well at discussing that particular piece of cinematic license.

I mean.. In the comics at least, Thor doesn't generate actual lightning/electricity. It's all magic. And therefore REAL electricity/lightning can harm him. (But it can't because he's too tough.) There's a comic panel where Thor and Storm are hanging out together comparing lightning. Thor remarks that Storms lightning is so warm, and that his is so cold because it's just magic in the form of lightning. So there you have it. Thor, the God of magic that has the outward appearance of lightning!

There's a fundamental problem with this one.. And that's the fact that the 'taser' in Ragnarok isn't actually a taser. It's a device which uses neurotoxins to subdue a person. If you look at it going off, you'll see veins bulging and being generally discolored, which isn't something a shock would do. Yes, it makes an electric sound.. but that just makes it confusing. Tbh that stuff is strong enough to subdue the Silver Surfer too. Edit: To address the other points in Ragnarok, such as the net and what not.. It's shown that he lost his mojo and isn't actually the God of Thunder at that point. He tries to conjure electricity and falls flat. So he has no control over it by then. Anyways, the main point of this was to explain the taser that people often reference. Pretty much the hammer is his training wheels.

I always imagined that Thor had a sphere of ionised air surrounding him at all times which behaves like a faraday cage (negative charge so providing high resistance) which protects him from lightning but not other attacks that move through this air forcefully (tasers or electric spears). This could be an alternative to the idea his skin is resistant like you mentioned in the video.

First off, Valkyrie didn’t create the Taser Disks. The game master says he invented them. And they don’t require special knowledge of Asguardian physiology. As long as the space taser disk can puncture the “cotati metal fibers” Gamora compares his muscles to, then it would be easy to overwhelm the electrical pulses the muscles use contract in order to trigger spasms you see. But still require a large charge to affect more than the localized muscles it is attached to. Which would drain the battery on that little disc fairly quickly. And should have been easy to pull off if it’s only piercing the skin. But if we assume that he couldn’t pull it off because it was embedding deeper into the body. Perhaps micro fibers extending into the body to connect directly to his nervous system. Then it would require a very small charge to overwhelm the natural charge in the nervous system and cause spasms throughout the body. And the disk would remain effective longer without losing a charge.
@NinjaBearFilms
@NinjaBearFilms 4 жыл бұрын
His muscles and nervous system would still need to receive and send electrical signal to contract and move. This is the system that the taser disk would take advantage of in order to cause him to go into convulsions. So even if his body has a natural means of creating/absorbing/directing an electrical pulse. If you bypass that system and induce random electrical currents directly into his muscles and nervous system his body would still convulse and spasm as it interferes with the natural process of moving.

Andrew Gray I don’t think it demands that he has a innate ability to control electricity through his entire body. It just requires the body to direct the electricity he “summons” through channels paths of least resistance away from muscles and nerves. Like wearing a grounded chainmail next to a Tesla coil. You can have electricity arcing all over your body. But the path of less resistance of the chainmail prevents it from ever entering your body. (Also I’m not assuming his nervous system works like a humans but like every known from of life with a nervous system. And I’m only making that assumption because I’ve never heard of a theoretical non-electric charge means a complex nervous system could work. But I do give you props on challenging assumptions when it comes to fictional aliens. 😺)

Also, we have seen him negatively react to electricity before in Age of Ultron. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i9uerddz0LjSo58.html But it could be argued that it’s not him being shocked but his power being released uncontrollably because of the vision.… 🤷‍♂️ I guess the biggest challenge is to explain why the taser disks works, but lightning doesn’t affect him with Science and not having to say “a wizard did it.”

@@darthvader0219 that's not true at all. Thor was hit by the FORCE of the star. Aka the mass x acceleration of the star. A neutron star rotates between 1.4ms & 30s. The sun takes 24 days to rotate... In second form. (576 hours * 3600 s/hr) 2.0x10^6s almost 1000000 times slower. So absolutely false statement. Without even accounting for mass. Which let's say 1.5 solar masses. Yes fusion is a lot of quantum packets of energy. Which travels near light speed as almost massless photons of gamma. But this is near light speed high density matter. It's like being hit with a keychain laser vs being hit by a falling space ship.

Hey, Kyle. Firstly, love the show. And secondly, while I do agree that Thor may be susceptible to falling victim to various forms of electricity i.e. lightning or AC/DC (queue guitar solo), one could argue that there's many references in the MCU films and the comics where it appears as though Thor inherently generates lightning that seems to be flowing outwardly from him and around him/to any suitable conductor whenever streaks do leave his body. Ragnarok alludes to such phenomena several times mid-movie and in the final battle against the goddess of death. So with that said, it seems unlikely (or at least to a debatable extent) that his manipulation of lightning strings from his body's natural tolerability to a skin effect. Even when considering an electric eel's muscle and tissue configuration against the effects of the excitation of its electrocytes, that would at least suggest that if Thor's body did follow a similar cell/tissue configuration, he would still be affected by the very lightning that he himself creates and exudes. But as can be seen from Ragnarok, it doesn't appear to be the case because of how he seamlessly channels it (at one point during the end battle) from his body and through the bodies of undead soldiers. If Thor wasn't immune to his own lightning then the very lightning he seems to generate would have at least found its way back into his body somehow via the conducting objects that come into contact with him whether by direct body contact or otherwise and he would feel the effects of his own lightning in a similar way that the electric eel does, but that doesn't appear to be the case. I theorize that it could a combination of factors maybe? One of those could be the ability to manipulate magnetic fields around him. That would cause him to be able to generate and direct a flow of electric current at will. As far as him being immune to those electric fields as a result of his ability to manipulate magnetic fields? Idk, perhaps a secondary power maybe? Idk, but one of the most important things I feel is worth mentioning that I've taken so far from your shows about why certain supers powers aren't as glamorous as they're portrayed in pop culture is that few (if not none) of the superpowers we see superheroes have should come as a 'single-bundle'. They're coupled with secondary abilities like how with teleportation as your primary ability, you would need to have the secondary ability to navigate safely to wherever you wish to teleport to by taking into account the predefined conditions of the target location... or how living underwater like Aquaman would require your body's muscles and cells and ORGANS to be configured a certain way. So perhaps it could be a similar case with Thor? Perhaps his primary ability would be magnetic field manipulation and his immunity to certain kinds of electric currents could be solved by a secondary ability...maybe? idk Anywho, you're legit awesome, bro. I can't stop watching your videos. Absolutely great stuff

Venancio Gomani There are several flaws with the suggestions you make in your comment. *one could argue that there's many references in the MCU films and the comics where it appears as though Thor inherently generates lightning that seems to be flowing outwardly from him and around him/to any suitable conductor whenever streaks do leave his body.* 1. The MCU and the comics are different canons, and those canons furthermore contradict each other and are incompatible. Since the video specifically is referencing the MCU canon, nothing that happens in the comics is relevant to whether it makes sense, logically, for MCU Thor to not be immune to electricity. 2. People can *try* to argue that Thor inherently generates electricity flowing outwards from him, but they would be completely wrong if they did this, as it presents ignorance both of how lightning actually works as well as ignorance of the MCU Thor canon. A) Lightning does *not* flow from one place to another. It is not a fluid of any sort. In fact, lightning is defined as an electrostatic phenomenon, not an electrodynamic one. Nothing is actually moving, other than electrons. Lightning is simply what happens when the electrostatic potential difference between two objects insulated by the air is sufficiently high for a nonzero amount of electrons to flow from the power source. As such, INHERENTLY, any formation of lightning that Thor creates comes from the surface of whatever material the power source is made of. If the power source is himself, then the electric potential difference is between his skin and the skin of his target. That is simply it. There is no electricity he could generate from inside his skin because that is simply not how potential differences occur. And this gets me to the second point. B) Thor himself is NOT the power source. Despite the moniker of "God of Thunder," which more accurately SHOULD be "God of Lightning," we know canonically, from the very first Thor movie in the MCU, that he is not the source his own godliness, and therefore, not the source of his powers. In reality, we know Odin and Mjolnir are the source of those powers, and we know this because Odin has been shown to freely take Thor's powers away at will. And we know Mjolnir has to choose whether Thor is worthy at any time to wield him or not, and furthermore, most of the battles Thor wins invove Mjolnir. Thor's main strength is his ability to wear Mjolnir, without which we know he is weaker, almost by his own admission. Thor is more accurately described as the wielder of lightning, not the source of it. When he uses the powers, it's very clear he is telling the source of lighting to abide by his will. He isn't actually directly controlling it, though. He wouldn't classify as an electricity bender, if you catch my drift. He wills lightning, he doesn't control it. So, ultimately, what his power amounts to is to manipulate the polarity of objects to create electric potentials. More specifically, to create electric potentials between Mjolnir and the target. Yes, this is completely different in the comics, since he states in the comics that his power is not actual lighting, but literal magic powder just taking the form of lightning. But, let me repeat: that's irrelevant. This discussion is about MCU Thor, for whom it intuitively makes less sense to be shockable than comics Thor. *it seems unlikely that his manipulation of lightning strings from his body's natural tolerability to a skin effect* Not at all. In fact, it's the opposite: it's impossible for you to be hit by lightning without the skin effect coming into play. It just is. And again, there is no such a thing as "generating lightining from within himself." That only happens in the comics, because as I said, in the comics, there isn't actually any lightning involved, it's canonically just generic magic. In the MCU, which is what this discussion is about, this is never observed. His powers always are seen coming from Mjolnir, which form one end of the electric discharge, or from his skin, in the rarer occasions. *that would at least suggest that if Thor's body did follow a similar cell/tissue configuration* The video literally shows the opposite, making this conditional point moot. Sure, the consequences would contradict the movies if he had the body of an eel. He doesn't. The video made that very clear. Eels work very differently than lightning, which is why they probably wouldn't be immune to it. That's precisely what is being explained in the video. *One of those could be the ability to manipulate magnetic fields around him.* Which we know he doesn't have. If he did, he would be able to do MUCH more than just channel currents between objects. Besides, I hate to break it to you, but while you can generate small currents by manipulating magnetic fields, it is basically impossible to generate any form of lightning by manipulating magnetic fields. And as we established earlier, the canon makes pretty damn clear he only wields the lightning, he doesn't generate it. Unless you are suggesting that he would be able to make those fields through Mjolnir, but that's an unprovable assumption. And an explanation that relies on very nontrivial assumptions that would involve lore that wasn't given on the supernatural aren't valid. Sure, you could call it a hypothesis, but the goal of the video is not to provide a hypothesis about Thor's hidden powers, the video simply explains scientifically why being able to withstand lighting doesn't make you immune to subdermal high currents that go through conductirs. So it's a bad suggestion through and through. You either would have to change the laws of physics fundamentally, or you would have to observe a new variety of powers that Thor is very clearly implied to not have. *perhaps a secondary power maybe* One which is never observed in the series and is also not really implied to exist as there are not even hints? Yeah, sorry, no. Again, explanations are built from facts, not unprovable speculation. We can talk about superheroes having secondary powers which may make sense, but at the end of the day, those are just speculative. Thor has not been shown to have any secondary powers other than having superhuman physical attributes, which doesn't cover what we are talking about. *few of the superpowers we see superheroes have should come as a "single-bundle."* Keyword: *should.* Yes, I agree with you. But just because they shouldn't does not mean they don't in the actual canons. And that's the thing. *or how living underwater like Aquaman would require your body's muscles and and cells and ORGANS to be configured a certain way.* First of all, muscles are organs, so I don't understand why you group them separately. Second of all, that's not a secondary superpower, that's just the cause of the superpower itself to begin with.

We see it here with Thor and alternating current vs direct current, but I remember seeing a video years ago (might have been a Because Science video, but I can't remember) saying something similar about Magneto. That video mentioned that Magneto can control both positive and negative magnetic fields, but only one at a time. It was a nice tidbit that gave some interesting context to Magneto's powers.

I had personally *theorised* that it had something to do with *bioelectricity* because Thor can't be immuned to it, otherwise he wouldn't be able to move. And since (I assume) bioelectricity and lightning aren't the same thing I would say this *theory* should make (some) sense. I have to admit I didn't really looked into it, it's just that I remember my biology teacher precising all the time that what travels through our nervous system is bioelectricity like if it wasn't just regular electricity which makes sense since say are meant to be transmitted by neuroreceptors like Acetylcholine.

How do you think Thor could stand lightning going through his eyes though ? it seems that when he gets really pissed, lightning is coming directly inside out his body through his eyes continuously for several seconds. Should'nt those peepers (or at least the single real one he has) just boil and pop up at some point, due to the moisture involved ? And even if we consider his asgardian one beeing TASE proof, how is the over one (an advanced technological camera of some sort but not especialy asgardian) not being fried, or at least highly damaged, by the lightning ?

The device that was planted on Thor is called an "Obedience Disk" and not something as simple as a shock collar, it not only shocks the subject but it also deprives the subject of their powers, it has been used on the likes of Hulk, The Silver Surfer, and even Beta Ray Bill. The grandmaster is nearly 14 million years old in the comics so it's conceivable that he has technology far beyond our understanding of physics, to quote Arthur C. Clarke "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" or in this case, it looks like a simple device. Great Video Kyle, keep up the awesome work!!!

Along with using derivatives can you track to the track the electrons in a dc current and assume their direction thus breaking the chaos theory because you will be able to determine the speed of the electron and it’s speed and direction

The material used to repel the train is a superconductor, which is a diamagnetic material, which means that the atoms inside of the material align their "spin" (their magnetic field) in the opposite direction of another magnetic field. The reason why they align antiparallel to a magnetic field, I don't know yet (a bunch of quantum mechanics). Here's the Wikipedia page about it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamagnetism

it works on the same principles that have yet to yield a true hooverboard. the ones at current(haha) need a ground(double pun) that can be induced by an electrical source (i.e.) the board. Then it creates an atmosphere between the board and the ground similar to lighting strikes, from here (because the ground is positive charged) the board inverts the protons (+) closer to the ground , and in the magnetism realm opposites attract and similar repels. So by changing back and forth protons and electrons closer to the ground you get magnetic lift and tethering, which is important because the lift only provides the magnetic repulsion until it drifts out of the effected area causing the board(or train) to adhere to gravitational forces once again.

and like i said we dont have a true hooverboard yet so it is likely the trains and the "track" are negatively charged (electrons) for their lift. And if you have a cylinder the skin effect can suspend your train in one directed path. Elon Musk is working on a tube people transport system with this same principal.

Hey Kyle love the show! Did I ever tell you I've been struck by lightning 7 times. -Once while I was repairing a leak on the roof. -Once just crossing the road to get the mail. -Once I was in the field tending to my cows. -Once I was riding my truck minding my own business. -Once just walking my dog down the road. Blind in one eye, can hardly hear, get twitches and shakes, always losing my line of thought but you know what? Just keeps reminding me I'm lucky to be alive. 😉

At 6:34 you drew either the direction of current wrong or you drew the direction of magnetic field wrong Because it doesn't follow right hand thumb rule Or It's simply because you drew it right but the final version of the video we see is a flipped version of the video

I figured it was because his skin acts as a faraday cage (like the car example). Penetration of the skin gets inside the "cage" and the shocks are in such a small area (in thor's case) that eddy current's aren't able to build up in such a large body comparably.
