How much DNA did the Reapers harvest? New mini-episode over on my Insta (instagram.com/sci_Phile/). Thanks for watching! -- KH
Nerdist Can you make a video about Gambit from the X-Men
Nerdist dude, did you make a surprise boner joke
Need to do an episode on whether or not quantum entanglement communicators in Mass Effect could ever exist and allow for near instant communication over vast distances in space.
Quantum Entanglers are some of the most scientifically viable parts of Mass Effect, not relying any bit on the elusive mass effect fields and eezo super-tech, but rather based on real-life science, and what we know of quantum entanglement today. It's totally possible, and as the games claim it would be extremely expensive and restrictive, given it would be as they say point to point, that is if you want to communicate with multiple people you need multiple communicators, you can't ever call anyone but whoever has the other part of the same communicator (Mass Effect 3 communicating with both Hackett and Anderson is done via just that, two communicators, likewise if they were to communicate with each other like they do in some cases they would both need at least two QECs as well). It's entirely possible that's just what we'll be using to just communicate with any eventual outposts on Mars in the relatively near future even, at least for vital communication where waiting the almost 14 minutes it takes for one message to pass from Earth to Mars and back again wouldn't do, though odds are that would be text messages to begin with.
my thought on your example of real omnibalde i get the thought of g fighter gundams shining finger.
6:19 "Faster than light space travel and slower than dirt elevators." - Honest Game Trailers
Unless you're on the top of them accordidng to ME3
*Sheds a single tear at Mordin quote*
I cri everi tyme
Someone else may have gotten it wrong... ;-;
Jacob Buck I am the very model of a scientist salarian
I'm not commander Shepard but this is my favorite channel on the citadel!
Meh, I've seen better.
Not citadel, extranet ;)
I'd love to have an omni-tool, even without the blade its an amazing thing.
This guy is the only reason I'm subbed to this channel.
FanBoy same but I occasionally watch the Dan cave.
I'm fine with that. -- KH
so you could say we are subbed to nerdist, because kyle hill.
likewise.
Pretty much same for me.
6:58 Oh my gosh! I was waiting for that; way to put it at the end lol! I thought the video would finish without it.
Ruben Avalos Hell yes, I was chomping at the bit waiting for it.
I had just been clicking away from the episode when he surprised me!
Don't worry baby birds, I'll feed you. -- KH
haha me too! I almost yellled YOU TEASE! when he didn't do it, then it did at the end!
surprise lightsaber
"Someone else might have gotten it wrong."
DAMN IT, I WAS ALMOST DONE BEING UPSET ABOUT THAT
;^;
Could you tell me what had happened? I'm curious and it's pretty hilarious for Kyle to be throwing shade
it's about the death of a character in Mass Effect 3
😭😭😭😭😭😭
Bronz Trooper I JUST FUCKING GOT IT! IT WAS FUCKING MORDIN!!!!!!
Real life Omni-tools?
Coming soon from Apple... the iTool!
Isn't that a brand in GTA?
Idock.
A tablet
That you can "Dock" with
You know Docking the Dock.
No no, iTool are the people _working_ at Apple.
Well, the Omni Blade, basically is a weaponised iPhone
+TheSwagtacular
Not the people working for Apple, but the people that buy are the products.
6:16 "Someone else might've gotten it wrong."
'Mordin Solus'
I've waited for this episode for ages. Seriously the Omni-tool is just so awesome in its applications!!
I was smiling during the video and then that 6:15 brought tears to me eyes...
"Overthinking a video game"
Lance McCarthy because science
But hey that's just a theory, a science theory! Thanks for watching.
I did work with MatPat last weekend... -- KH
werewolf914 wouldn't it be "annnnnnnnnnd cut!"?
sorry i love puns
Nerdist please do ' Can the juggernaut break through a adamantium/vibranium wall?
that mordin end bit made me shed a tear :C
;^;
hmmm... at 4:40 in to the vid.. when Kyle is taping the ''omni tool'' was it the starwars dark side theme? :O
Hmmm -- KH
hey! do a vid explaining how evolution stones in pokemon work!
OMG so I'm not the only one that caught that! I was waiting for the last 3 notes XD
Adam Krafth NO WAY!!!!!!😧
saame!
Love how much Kyle loves Mass Effect. More ME vids!
What if voxels touch one another? Can we configure them to produce sounds when moving fast through the air, when they touch other voxels, and when they touch a fencing suit? Will the sport of fencing look like Star Wars in the future?
I once said "Lazer Sword" instead of lightsaber in a Star Wars comment section and everybody laughed and corrected me, they didn't know I was talking about an earlier version... that had nothing to do with me having a very limited knowledge of the english language.
btw is not a hair
Gabo Derflinger i litteraly blew at my phone to blow that "hair" off my screen
Gabo Derflinger lol I was trying to get it off my screen 😂
You're devious sir. I did the same thing. But I laughed so......well played. :)
Gabo Derflinger Sable láser?
+1 like because its Kyle
+1 like for the last second surprise light saber
+1 for your comment. -- KH
Nerdist I'm way late on this but thanks for making this video. I'm majoring in physics right now and I'm going on my third year this coming semester and I swear Mass Effect was a huge reason I decided to do physics because it let me dream of the future technology, exploration and possibilities so to hear from someone who's obviously smarter than I am that the game is grounded in *some* science really helps me. thanks a lot for your vids, don't ever stop
5:16 Dude. You just invented Psi-blades.
Surprise lightsaber!!!!!! hahahaha
Aww thankyou, I know its late but you too lol
Ailie A You ruined the surprise
The Mordin bit at the end... one manly tear
I'm so glad I watched this to the very end. I miss those surprises.
Dammit Kyle you gone done it again. You're videos always make me laugh, your comedy is impeccable. I would've loved a Close Encounters of the Third Kind easter egg at 4:35. You're awesome man.
I cheered at the end. This might be my favorite Because Science in a while.
That last surprise really scared me there.
Thank you, Kyle. :D
6:58 - Surprise Lightsaber denied all through the entire main video. This one moment made it all the more gratifying.
How is the black-saber black if it's plasma?
oh man, that elevator gag at the end haha. thanks for that. RIP of Normandy.
you are like the only reason i watch this channel
Fine with it -- KH
I only watch Because Science and the Instagram mini episodes lol
ayyeeeee! I suggested this on the last mass effect video thanks Kyle, you're the main reason I'm subbed!
the darth vader/empire notes at 4:36
noice.
That "slow elevators"-joke at the end killed it :D
Points for the Mordin reference. :)
Premature lightsaber auto activation, it happens to the best of us.
Just be glad you didn't hit somebody in the face with that
2:36 *eagerly waiting for the Surprise Lightsaber*
5:38 O.O It is coming!!
5:51 D:
6:58 YAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSS
There is the 3D printers where the base construct is cured by lasers. Omni Gel, which is their analog to the real life print material could be laced with nanotech to move around, construct and destruct in real time in 3D space. If such a 3D printer was also supported in air by their mass effect fields, which defy gravity, and the array of tiny lasers curing as things are built, even the buttons an circuit boards could be physically 'printed' for specific uses, if you have the required blueprint, then recycled later if you need something else. the lasers could also serve a dual purpose; projecting interfaces onto the solid but transparent constructs, hence the omnitools glowing.
That slow elevator from ME1... biggest improvement in video game history ever is the elevator between ME1 and ME2.
i guess he Surprise Lightsabered himself
That sounds dirty!
Loved the hidden Imperial March in the Keyboard tones! Way to hide that in there!
Your Mass Effect videos make me love your video even more then before. The Mass Effect games are my absolute favorite.
Thanks for doing the omni-tool.
#FemShep
I liked your impression of those damn slow elevators in ME1 at the end. Great video.
Very good video and it's great you used Mass Effect references!
I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite channel on CZcams.
I've been suggesting this for so long! So happy
Every sci-fi universe have it's unique weapons. While Star Wars have lightsabers, for Mass Effect there is Shepard.
Surprise light-saber is the best light-saber, and I nearly jumped at the end, thanks man...
I love that you talked about fairy lights aka the laser plasma. I did a project years ago on it. it's really cool stuff
Someone else might have gotten it wrong. Big thumbs up for the references
I just stumbled into this channel and I've been watching it for a couple of hours; I'm surprised at how often 'plasma' comes up as a real life analog for science fiction stuff.
love the show, keep up the great work!
Your video made me happy this morning :)
Evertime i watch this just gets better and better
Waited till the end wasn't disappointed
This is so cool cause i just got the mass effect trilogy a little bit ago for my b-day and this is like belated icing.
"Hot enough to melt through materials like armor."
- Kyle Hill 2017
Yeah you know, armor material -- KH
5:15 - Is this how Green Lantern creates his blade in the film?
Don't worry, I hate it too.
Love the videos, Kyle
Watched till the end, so WORTH IT!
'Someone else might've gotten it wrong.' Ahhhh! The feels! 😭
"Someone else might have gotten it wrong" Damn you Kyle, I came here to learn, not to feel!
;^;
lol the buttons pushing makes the imperial march when sped up XD.
All the references... Dang, love it.
Oh the feels are strong with this one, I was not expecting that.
"Surprise Lightsaber" i thought you had enough with this, but.. :D
Seems like to me, a Omni-tool like smart sleeve with a built in plasma blade cutter seems like the tool of the construction worker of the future, if they weren't robots.
2:03 Surprise Omni-blade!
Garrus, best alien space bro! Also loved the mordin reference!
Liked that you played the Star Wars Imperial March at 4:38
still waiting for lightsaber vs adamantium .
Doubt it.
Levitibert Rovitikus he said that he is going to do a video on that almost a week ago on his Instagram!
According to Stryker, once adamantium cools it can't be melted again.
nightcaste but it was cut in the Wolverine! remember??
Shivanshu Mahim That was with a heated adamantium blade.
That's the pose for the t-shirt! LoL Great stuff!
Someone else understood Mordin's reference at the end? I miss Mordin
that imperial march intro on the omnitool was legit
Bro great control on the deep squat at the end
remember when you could just slap omni-gel on everything?
I will never see the surprise lightsabre the same way again...
Explain how a meeseeks box from Rick and Morty could be possible or why it isn't possible.
I was almost disappointed till I got what i needed at the end. Thank you Kyle for coming through.
that Mordin reference
Amazingly, those plasma voxels, with those tiny points of light, look a lot like the new omni-tools in ME: Andromeda, which also has lots of tiny points of light distributed throughout the tool and a less cohesive-looking display than in previous installments. soooo, thumbs up to this theory.
awesome editing effects
Holograms in the Mass effect universe actually do work with haptic interface technology. The hologram itself can't be interacted with. The actual controls com from either gloves or implants in your fingers that track your fingers movements and give a touching sensation when your fingers are in the right position. The actual hologram just exists to tell the user which finger position does what. Also an omni blade is not plasma. Its a diamond hard blade flashforged by the omnitool and is made from omni-gel. Its also solid. Its created with the same technology that allows an omnitool to make on-site modifications and repairs to gear. Omni-gel is made from various reused alloys, ceramics and plastics, that are all melted together into a paste that is then put into the omnitool's mini fabricator and forged into new stuff
Have you talked to Dr. Aridani about how we even got up to date scans on the Andromeda galaxy? The lore answer is that the Geth modiefied a Mass Effect relay into a telescope to see the present version of the Andromeda galaxy. Because mass effect relays, I guess.
Love the Mordin quote!
"I should go" Sheppard every other conversation
" I made a mistake! focused on big picture, big picture made of many little pictures, too many variables."
"Fine, I won't stop you."
"Had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong."
y u gotta make me cry like that at the end?
You could do a video on the kett and how DNA splicing works.
So what you're telling me is that "soon" I'll be able to have an omni-tool that has a blade that functions like a lightsaber, a blade that I can use to slice open a package delivered to me by my autonomous unmanned drone, and inside the package will be my VR chip that will connect my brain to a fully realized virtual reality where I can have amazing Thor like hair. All because Science. Is that what you're telling me?
This is just the video I've been looking for 😁 and it's many years later
Some say he is still in that elevator.
I was wondering when he'll say "SURPRISE LIGHTSABER!" Was not disappointed
I always thought the omniblade was something like a diamond-edge blade, given the Codex entry. Also, "Doo do do doo, Spectre gadget"
Very cool ! But you missed something, if you can arrange your laser array as you wish, you could totally make a ligth saber starwars style like that ! make the focals points arrange in a tubular form about 1m long and voila !
This is seriously cool and a plasma blade is cooler than a more conventional one.
I imagine it'd be possible to create a plasma shield if they were arrayed correctly?
Well, plasma is basically lighter than gas, so it would be quite easy to push say, a ceramic blade through it (since it's just so heat resistant) and any material if it isn't hot enough, however with enough heat you may feasibly melt it before it passes through, however it would require immense amounts of power and there is still the issue of momentum, you would need it so hot that it melts whatever tries to pass through into a gas, otherwise it could carry through thanks to momentum and injure whoever or whatever is on the other side.
Raptor Jesus And you could throw a piece of metal trough it and shower whoever is on the other side with molten metal
Yeeeeeeessssss. l love a good mass effect episode. Kyle you almost make want want to switch from physics to engineering
The elevator joke is awesome btw
Have there been a Because Science on Xenomorphs? Because if not that would be awesome
I'm only subbed for this show.
This is seriously one of the best things on the interwebs!
