    11:00 I imagine that Spartans of any type also produce significantly less lactic acid. There is an ultra marathon runner with a genetic marker that prevents him from producing lactic acid at all, meaning his muscles don't fatigue.

      @@Installation00 speaking of, I would love it if you did a video on all of the various augmentations shep gets in ME2. Like heavy bone weave which allows for almost unbreakable bones and also healing via medigel conduits through them. Heavy muscle weave which increases strength and muscle resillience. Heavy Skin weave which has spefical fibers woven through the skin and strengthens shepards resistance to damage and like the bone weave, allows for enhanced healing too.
      Plus the gene therapy alliance soldiers go through in general.
      It's crazy considering we see shep go hand with a Yahg and also krogans and at one point hold Grunt (a very heavy krogan with heavy armor) with one hand while holding a ledge with the other. And shep knocks fully armored opponents out at times with a heavy punch.
      Then there's the brain surgeries for biotics, but I saw you cover that in your biotics videos.

      Yeah but I'm not sure if this is actually confirmed anywhere but it seems the spartan III augmentations, while much safer, still have the same drawback as the spartan IIs that restricts them to very young children in their earlier stages of development.
      The primary purpose of the spartan IV augmentations is to allow any full grown adults to receive augmentations that bring them with in throwing distance of the earlier spartans capabilities.

Most of the benefits and augmentation pros and stuff seemed viable, but I remember there being an issue found with the transplantation of stem cells into the brain that was something along the lines of certain other cells and immune cells in the brain that some stem cells will copy instead of the myelin sheathes, and the cells did something bad/some kind of damage or at least blockage of normal activities of normal activities in the brain, so I think this one quite major issue is the reason we haven’t seen much more major research, or rather application, of this technique.

    I have to disagree on the stretching forces of bones. When a load is added perpendicular to the bone, the opposite side will be in tension while the fore side will be in compression. So there are cases where a bone can be in tension without "pulling" on it. Since bones are relatively brittle, I would assume something with a high tensile strength would keep them from breaking in a perpendicular loaded situation.

    Bone lengthening will not give you the strength enhancement the larger frame of the spartan 2's and 3's.
    As a matter of fact bone lengthening weakens the subject proportional to the height increase because most human joints are type 3 levers.
    S4's would therefore do better to remain at their natural height.

    10:08 I want to question for a minute the assertion that elastic modulus doesn't matter in increasing the load-bearing performance of bone. If we consider the bone as a standard load-bearing beam under compression, it's most likely going to fail due to buckling. A load-bearing column's resistance to buckling is quite dependent on its stiffness, which in turn is very heavily dependent on its elastic properties. In fact, since most materials have greater compressive strength than tensile strength, it's almost certain that a bending fracture will initiate from the point of highest tension, and so once again tensile properties reign supreme.
    In the same vein, carbon-fibre-reinforced composites make full use of the superior elastic properties of carbon fibre, a material which is only really advantageous in tension, through creative design of load paths and laying patterns to direct various applied forces through the fibers. We can imagine procedures to infuse the bone with strong metallic fibers or the like, thus basically converting the bone into something akin to these carbon-fiber reinforced composites.

      @@rolandos8758 in my understanding what he's saying is exactly that yes...
      if your bones worked like springs after the point were normal bones would break then you could carry heavier loads (springier bones would be able to withstand heavier loads by compression), move faster or withstand stronger forces without them breaking (for instance...when you do CPR you break the chest bones so you can press the heart hard enough. if your bones had more elasticity they wouldnt. ) you would not be super human but your bones would not break unless you fell from the eiffel tower or something...in a combatant that would eliminate the chance of exposed fractures happening, remove the need for medical downtime until the bones heal and allow you to get back up from impacts that would break a normal human's leg or arm provided you're not hit strong enough to rupture internal organs or smash the muscle to uselessness.
      however that doesnt really take into account the real problem. ligaments and cartilage would give in waaaaaay before the bones did (as they already do now in fact...) so if the objective is to increase strength, decrease recovery time and allow for a more agile and resilient human capable of moving at higher speed, lifting greater loads and not breaking apart due to increased reflexes firstly you'd need to work on the ligaments (possibly using a similar operation as the one mentioned to increase bone strength in the muscles and tendons) to deal with higher tension and larger muscle mass as well as possibly replace most of the cartilage in their bodies for something more durable.

  • @johnwilliamdestefano4855

    The motor pathways and cerebellum specifically are very complex with their inputs and outputs, so much so we only really have working theories on how the cerebellum augments motor plans from higher centers. My first thought was just move down to a lower level, but it is not as simple as picking up descending motor signals and using them as an input for some external effector. There are ascending signals from the muscles themselves that augment movement subconsciously (see golgi tendon organs and muscle spindle reflexes) all at the lower motor neuron level to produce the desired amount of force and prevent injury. Ultimately coordinating movements requires a lot of fine tuning both in upper motor neurons and lower motor neurons, and any suit designed to amplify force using input from the wearer’s nervous system has to be subject to that fine tuning as well, lest you’ll be left with overriding, uncoordinated motor output.

    one observation about wrapping the bones in this lattice
    while itself will not increase the bone compressive strength, it will provide confinement to the bones and this confinement stress will translate in overall higher compressive strength, you can see this in concrete, where the wires surrounding the concrete are there to provide this confinement
    this also would have the advantage in case of fracture, bone is keep in place so can heal, or worse case scenario may prevent bone from splinter and create a exposed fracture, of course that may still happen but need more force to do, the con would be that may need surgery to fix things out in case of a fracture in the case the sheave is damage or the bones are misaligned badly enough

    I know I'm late to the party but I believe the bone strengthening in all spartans is to help resist against direct impact, for example a hammer blow that may crush regular bone structures. I may have missed a part where you went over that but yeah, additional armouring for limbs internally. It would minimise injury to a degree allowing them to be fit for duty much faster than both ligament/tendon and bone ruptures. A pseudoscience portion (i suppose all of spartan augmentation is anyway) would also be it could require less biological resources to heal from the same impact as an all natural human

  • @nero9248
    @nero9248 Před 2 lety

    Elastic strength doesn't affect the compressive load one is able to bear, but it greatly affects impact strength, so bones don't break as easily on impact. Thats the reason we have collagen in our bones. Without some elasticity our bones would be brittle like glass.

    I just watched a video on the latest developments from Neurolink and they've got a chimp that can play pong with his mind. They started off with the regular controller to train him. After a time the disconnected the controller and linked his brain to the controller port and he was able to control the game inputs mentally. So we're not that far away from a practical and functional computer/brain interface.

      If Spartan-2's got the Spartan-3 augmentations on top of their own, it might enhance their abilities but diminishing returns would likely minimize the effects.
      If the Spartan-2's got the Spartan-3 augmentations instead of their own, there would be a lot more Spartan-2's but that's about the only difference. Aside from the numbers, they wouldn't really be any different from what we already see in canon.

    The only explanation that makes sense to me about the way they strengthen the bones with fullerenes that way isn't for performance, it's for torture resistance. The banished used microgravity wells for interrogation, so we can assume since Chak Lok did this that it's a covenant practice. It's to help Spartan's resist micro Gravity wells based torture, and might explain why Spartan Griffin was able to survive it for so long

    @user-mp3re8pj3p Před 2 lety +1

    I see several problems here
    1) Is a neuro link really necessary here? because to support the motor function of the armor, it is enough that the suit captures the activity of the muscles. Of course, a direct connection to the motor cortex of the brain can THEORETICALLY improve the reaction speed, but that's exactly theoretically, because in real life, a person's reaction speed could be accelerated only so much, machine will still be MUCH faster. So if there is a difference in movement, it will be almost imperceptible. But after getting out of the armor without neuro link, the soldier will not need to learn to walk again. Also, there are no complex sensor systems and/or embedded equipment in the mjolnir armor that require direct connection to the brain, unlike the armor of spacemarines from Warhammer 40k, and the few other functions can be accessed by voice commands, gestures or via AI. So it turns out that this neuro link does not give any serious advantages, but it significantly increases the cost of the project, and creates a bunch of vulnerabilities that reduce the overall effectiveness of the soldier.
    2) The method of accelerating the reaction mentioned in the video refers more to the field of theory, however, there is likely to be no harm from this, unlike many other mentioned procedures.
    3) Such as strengthening the skeleton. Fragmentary inclusions are a proven technology, reliable and ALMOST safe. But you should treat these inclusions exactly as what they are. Patches, nothing more, nothing less. If we are talking about a complete and significant improvement of the skeleton, then this skeleton will have to be replaced entirely. Even for a very healthy person, the probability of surviving such a procedure is unlikely to exceed 10%, and there are chances of about 0.0001% of survivors not becoming crippled or permanently disabled in any way. God luck with that.
    4) Now about the muscles. The combination of natural and artificial fibers definitely has its advantages, but they create such a heap of problems that it is impossible to solve them at the current level of development of medicine and technology. So it's either one or the other, but not both at once. Let's start with the natural muscles. It's a good thing, but no matter how you strengthen them, you'll only get a normal human, just very muscular one. And the flip side of this will be that your soldier will consume tremendous amount of food every single day. And I'm serious - a large amount of muscle is a constant consumer of nutrients. Regardless of whether your soldier use them or not, he will be constantly hungry. This is the evolutionary meaning of myostatin - not to let this walking steak die of malnutrition in winter, reducing calorie intake by reducing muscle volume. It's not as relevant now as it was 20,000 years ago, but without eugenics, this mechanism can hang around in our genome for a very long time if not forever. With synthetic muscles, it is both easier and more difficult. It is easier because they do not consume nutrients, they are not affected by myostatin (and as sad as it is - by adrenalin), and they are not susceptible to poisons, toxins, viruses and much more. In short, the ideal option for a soldier. If it weren't for a couple of problems: they are not capable of self-healing (at least none of the existing samples are capable of this today) and consume an incredible amount of energy (unlike biological muscles working due to electrochemical reactions, artificial muscles work on pure electricity. This is about how to compare the amount of electricity consumed by two remotely controlled quarry excavators of the same scheme and performance, but one of which is diesel, and the other is electric). The analogy is almost literal, since in living nature there are no organs working on external energy sources at all. For example, in the human body, all the notorious "bioelectricity" is either sensory data coming from the sensory organs to the brain, or control commands from the brain to the muscles. Thus, trying to power the functionality of synthetic muscles from the nerve fibers of the human body is about the same thing as trying to power a quarry excavator via WiFi.
    5) Hormones and bacteria - just don't meddle with it, at all, ever.
    6) Modified and/or synthetic internal organs. Again, the benefits are questionable, and there will be many problems. Altered organs imply a different genome, which in turn will lead to either rejection or autoimmune shock, and it is hard to say what is worse, but any of this will disable a soldier as good as a bullet in the head. Synthetic organs, like synthetic muscles, are good for everyone, but if anything go wrong, they can only be replaced and only in sterile laboratory conditions, and an enormous amount of electricity is required for work, and where can you get all of that?
    7) Unification. Completely. Absent. Each person is unique at the physiometric level (or close to that), which means that for each soldier you will need to develop a unique set of guts and spare parts and drag a horde of technicians trained to work with it. Do you know how much this increases the cost of each soldier? The "Pillar of Autumn" for every Spartan. That's how much. with this money, each UNSC soldier can be equipped with personal power assault armor. Simpler than mjolnir, but in radically large quantities. In addition, as far as I remember, mjolnir had several prototypes, so on one of them an ordinary (or at least unaugmented) person pulled the trick (for the lack of better terms) like the legendary John-117 couldn`t during his entire career, and for the grand finale arranged a local exterminatus. And this was only one soldier on a untested prototype. And imagine what a few thousand such soldiers could achieve? And since the armor can easily be adjusted to the size of the soldiers body (at least if it is a person with a height from 160 to 210 cm, who is not a sumo wrestler nor a porn star with size N tits), the armor can be made standard, and therefore mass-produced, and therefore it will be incredibly cheap.
    So it turns out that it is possible to make a Spartan, but for what, if there is an opportunity to get a much better result at a much lower cost?
    PS: If you really need to make something anthropomorphic, but with exorbitant combat characteristics, then it's better to design something from scratch. Mass-produced robots should be much better in terms of combat efficiency. And biorobots capable of thriving, fighting and reproducing in such conditions that any human beeng no matter how augmented, will die in a maximum of a week.
    But biorobots option suggests a couple of questionable points: firstly, it is actually a full-fledged intelligent race that is in the position of slaves for humanity. And if this issue is not resolved as soon as possible and by mutual agreement, then secondly, this race evolutionarily surpasses humanity more than humanity surpasses not even parapithecines, but rodents, from which the parapithecines originated. So if it comes to a direct confrontation, humanity is fucked.

    There's actually known mutations of the EPOR gene, specifically at Exon 8 on the EPOR gene, that result in Familial Erythrocytosis, ECTY1. It's a condition that results in a higher than average red blood cell count, which means a higher blood oxygenation. The risks of the condition are a higher incidence of blood clots, heart attacks, strokes, and even leukemia. Though I imagine implanting stents into all the major blood vessels, the electroactive polymer mesh to the heart, using the neuralink connected to the medulla to deliberately slow your resting sinus rhythm, as well as the suit being in essence a pressure suit, would mitigate all of those problems.
    The cancer though? well, gene editing is a thing and we know exactly where the mutation is so you could probably switch the gene off if you do develop leukemia, flush out the cancerous blood with a perfluorocarbon blood substitute, then flush out the perfluorocarbon blood substitute with donor blood, increase your sinus rhythm, switch the gene back on and reduce your heart rate again. It'd be a fairly painless procedure, if not very long. It'd probably take months for the gene to completely switch off, then back on again, but the flushing could take a matter of an hour or less if you wanted to use an artery. It'd definitely not be a regular thing to do, cancer is still rare at an incidence of 14 per 100,000
