I wonder how long would it take to slow down the moon enough for it to fall to Earth. I assume it doesn't have enough energy to spin the Earth back up and tidally lock with it while remaining at enough velocity to maintain orbit, so it should happen eventually.

You can go 10g in the corners without injuring the driver

I like the sound effects from 1:03 onwards lol, very funny 10/10

Imagine how much culture and history are lost due to the sheer amount of deaths and displacement of every human on earth caused by the event which became such an important chapter of human history that the past becomes a footnote that is quickly forgotten

Dont worry, red necks are probably tolerant to the alien life support system we put on the vehicle

And what would be the max speed the ball can be thrown at, WITHOUT causing a nuke?

"The main channel of the lightning bolt (...) is about a centimeter or two in diameter. Our bundle contains about a million separate bolts, which means it will be about six meters in diameter." No? Not even close? Assuming all of them are 1cm and are (as said earlier in the video) tightly packed in parallel to each other, that means the mega lightning bolt will have a diameter of 10 KILOMETERS.

So, if you added oxy tanks and enormous radiators to a nuclear submarine you could potentially orbit safely for a while

Perhaps they could turn the reactor off or to a very low power output - they dont need all the power if they arent going to use the submarine propperels, they could also disable some unnecessary subsystems that wouldnt be used in space to save power

I am commenting #BringBackDislikes on every unique KZfaq video I watch for the rest of 2024, regardless of if I actually dislike the video or not. This is video 1133.

Thumbs down for using metric instead of the correct American measurement.

Nothing good

We need common sense radioactive pool gun control. Those pools are out of control.

Who is Thomas tho?

That's very helpful. I am planning to attend such a baseball match next week.

So what your saying is a lightly modified submarine could survive in space?

Mildly confused and curious why Randall decided to use the T-50 as the image for 'fighter jet'. Isn't American, isn't common, doesn't show up in the first page of google results for either 'fighter jet', 'fighter plane', 'maneuverable fighter jet' or 'combat aircraft'. Might be a personal choice. Or just random. I'm curious.

you forgot the rules of nascar have been elimianted so you dont have to stay on the track just walk around the side of the finish line 200 times

What if the Earth *gradually* stopped rotating? Like if some alien tractor beam applied a subtle torque that slowed the angular velocity to 0 over the course of a week, would that be survivable? What if it took a month or year?

Got to tour Diablo Canyon, and see the pools. Unfortunately, did not get to do any swimming.

So quakes happen every single second of every single day

i wonder what it's like to live in a place where thunderstorms are the norm 🤔 imagine, literally from birth, experiencing the sound of lightning basically exploding the air nearly constantly, then moving someplace where it barely thunders maybe twice a year 😲 (side note: this took me down a cool rabbithole, friends. you all should look up the science of thunderstorms ❤)

I feel like bro stopped mid sentence. Can you? I'm thinking a straight beam that emits enough heat to disappate the rain around you

I feel comfortable with these facts. I mean it's not like the government or big energy companies would ever lie to us so that they could keep polluting.

Now let`s do it with every lightning strike in a year, nay, in a century!

I need to learn more about this… I am trying to develop a game involving both submarines and space vessels.

From gunshot wounds 😂

If all the lightning strikes in the same place at the same time Zeus really said “F*** that spot particularly”

You're not thinking outside the box. If there's truly no rules, I'd cut corners and make the lap as tiny as possible, for example 0.001mm radius.

With this map's level of detail, it's hard to tell if I live inside or outside the supersonic wind zone. I'm near the edge nonetheless :P

I'd parry it

So i can heat my pool safely?

im so cool knowing that i cause -5 magnitude earthquakes evrytime i type

All of earth's lightning or about one Jagganoth

OK that was unexpected - well done!

It's may be deadly for earth, due kinetic energy...

Never visit Venezuela, noted.

What amazes me about this is the fact that humans produce enough energy to do all that every few seconds

What if the batter managed to swing at the speed of light to hit the ball?

We die.

“All the electricity in the world. A shame I can’t bear it.”

No idea where you got 10-40 hours from, most people would struggle to tread water for an hour and even most swimmers are not making it over 10 hours.

Earthquakes have no limits.

The self made sfx are amazing

If you stand in the middle of that massive lightning bolt array, you become the highlander

Given thermodynamics, wouldn’t _all_ the energy of the nuclear reactor eventually turn into heat?

the elephant in the room is that all of those "awe inspiring images of nebular and galaxies, quasars ect" taken by Hubbel are that they are enhanced in post production. They are not the exact image as it was taken by the telescope.

Oddly enough it always bothers me that I forget this is a logarithmic scale.🤷‍♂️

now thats a heater

Why aren't you using the voice i hear when i read xkcd?
