    Just saying Kyle, I'm impressed. You came up #3 (and if you don't count the wiki snip-it sporting the definition, #2) on bing. I watch your channel all the time and I've learned quite a bit and gone on "research adventures" just because of some things you've said. (P.S. I kind of look similar to you in a way as how I found out about your channel was a friend pulling up one of your videos then commenting that you look like me, albeit usually more clean cut than I am.) Ever since he showed me that video I thought, "Damn; I love science, specifically physics and I love learning and the way [you] explain things has a nice way of 'clicking' for my psyche so why not!" So I checked out your channel and ended up subscribing after a few videos. That was maybe about two years ago (you'll probably find my first comment a question about the void, which you responded to; so it may have been a few months to a year before that, but my perception of time is just awful depending). I figure you might like some of the stuff on my channel, although I don't have my own videos. I usually collect knowledge or some things I find ridiculous, fun stuff, music, military stuff and so on. Have a great day, man! As for now, I'm going to finish the video after I have had a modest break to have looked that up and posted this comment.

Its also possible Kyle is the devil, and built a nice home for himself out of your brain-bits and controls your actions from behind your eyes. Try turning your eyes completely around. If you see Kyle, you are being possessed as we speak. If you cant turn your eyes completely around, its Kyle who is preventing you from doing it and seeing him behind your skull-windows.

    Hi Kyle, the first experiment that you show in this episode can also be explained by Gestalt study, it's called rule of "Simultaneous Contrast" and basically says that you cant define a color alone because they change appearence based of the other colors around them.
    Colors get charged with the opposite of the color they are surrounded by, like a white square look brighter on a black background and less white on a gray background, you can find stuff like this in a book called "Art and Visual Perception" of Rudolf Arnheim.

    If you squint while looking at tile B, it more so becomes apparent that it’s the same. However, I knew as soon as he held it up that it was the same as tile A. You can easily tell that it’s darker than the white square to its left. The cylindrical shadow being cast upon the squares fades the farther out you get and at a point that grayish shadow on the white square begins to reveal a blotch of white.

    The checker board illusion simply shows what artists already know: that color and value react with the colors and values that surround them. 50% grey appears darker on a white background than it does on a black background but it’s still the same value. Squares A and B have the same color but since B is surrounded by even darker squares than A (as the shadow color adds to the square’s own color), B appears to be lighter than it actually is.

    Flash on a bicycle....even if he did manage to accelerate without slipping the wheels the bicycle would rip itself apart from the centrifugal forces in the wheels

    • @joshuabradshaw515
      @joshuabradshaw515 Před 4 lety

      This. None of the components of a bicycle would hold up at any serious speed. Consider the bearings and lubrication in the wheel hubs. How fast before the heat of friction boils off the grease and the whole thing melts to slag? A few hundred miles per hour?
      The Flash is fully capable of moving at normal speeds, so there's no reason to think he couldn't accelerate a bicycle gradually and maintain friction with the ground.
      What isn't going to happen is the bicycle itself holding up under the stress. As lone wolf says, the wheels will fly apart at a certain point. The lubricants in the hubs will fail. Something is going to give out LONG before he hits a tenth of his speed on foot.

    (At 10:15 minutes to 11:00 minutes)I've heard people say that acceleration could be considered physically equivilant to gravity. But gravity weakens over distance. So if, by using magical construction materials/techniques, I was in a room that weighed only a few tonnes but was 43,000 km tall I'ld get more measurable gravity at the room's floor as opposed to its ceiling. I don't think that would happen when accelerating the room at 1 G. . Is there any connection to the idea that the room's accelerating force would travel at the speed of sound going through that room? So please explain; hopefully you know why, despite my points, they're still considered equivilant and the answer isn't too complex.

    • @LdNidd
      @LdNidd Před 5 lety

      I am by no means an expert, but the answer is kind of a "yes and no" thing, afaik. Technically, the force of gravity is just the acceleration of bodies towards each other caused by their natural mass. So if the room was moving in the direction that what you'd normally perceive as the floor was at the bottom and the ceiling the top, with the vector of acceleration force moving from top to bottom, there should be an increase in force as you go.
      However, your theoretical room would have you moving so far from the earth that you wouldn't be under the full effects of its gravity anymore, so the difference would be noticeable, yes, but not because of the difference in acceleration and gravity. Acceleration can match gravity, but acceleration to mimic the effects of gravity can only be done in single measurements, not the entire range of a body's gravitational pull, which does change with distance while acceleration as a standalone force doesn't, and would be more dependant on things like fuel. Acceleration could mimic the earth's gravity at any point you measured, though, assuming this room could adjust its acceleration to match the distance variable.

    I imagine the flash would just break the chain or fling the rubber straight off of the tire. If the bike was special though then it would not be able to travel at the speed of light anyways. The top part of the wheel would be the fastest moving part and would limit that part to the speed of light. But the same could be said about his legs when he runs at the speed of light since some parts have to move faster for him to go that fast I guess.
    But if we consider this then is the top speed for a bike, half the speed of light even if the bike itself was indestructible? And if this is true then a train capable of reaching the physical speed limit would be even slower. This is because the flange that aligns the train to the track would be the fastest part but has a larger diameter than the part that is actually driving the train forward.

      The quote you should remember is when Vader says "Don’t be too proud of this technological terror you’ve constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force." The point he is saying refers to the Tarkin Doctrine about inducing fear into people. The exact power output of the Death Star is not just in the destruction of Alderaan but in how much fear people feel when they discover that the Empire has such a weapon. The Force however is capable of doing Anything. And so if a being is truly intuned with the Force then they could reshape reality however they wished. The destruction of a planet would be easier than it is to lift a pen for us, hence Vader's statement.

    My first reaction to the idea of The Flash on a bicycle is that there is likely no material a bicycle could be made of that would sustain a decent level of flash speeds.
    Can you acellerate the Earth like a rocket? Yup. I can imagine the physics, what I can't imagine is the engineering of actually doing it. Basically you just need a way to launch enough matter off the planet fast enough that said material is well above escape velocity. Realistically, any interplanetary probe we send out of the earth/moon system creates a miniscule thrust vector on the earth.
    I was originally going to describe the "thrust vector" as small, but that seemed too big for the actual effect, and then I though miniscule isn't probably right either... Nanoscule? Picoscule? I don't think those are even words, is there a word for the amount of thrust the Earth gained from New Horizon pushing away from us?

      I was thinking the same thing. Accelerate slow enough to avoid spinning your wheels. It should work because the wheels are moving at the same speed as the ground, so there's enough friction to push against. Gearing shouldn't be a limitation either because the gears allow the wheels to rotate faster than the pedals, and Flash can pedal extremely fast. The only real limitation is the friction heat generated from the moving parts of the bike, which could melt it.

      @rayzimmermin Před 5 lety

      Technically speaking that would not remove gravity it would just make its effects on the room very weak. But it would still have gravity even if you were experiencing 0g while in the room
      Their is actually no way to remove gravity all together. Let alone from one room because every part of the universe can feel the gravity produced by every gravitational field in the universe. There is no where in the universe you could go where the gravity of the earth could not be detected with the right instruments. We know this because we are picking up gravity waves from light years away of both stars and planets already with the primitive equipment we have right now.
      So far as we can tell the only way to feel weightlessness aka zero g ( Side note. This is not the same as no gravity it just means you can't actually tell how it's effecting you) is to use gravity to put yourself in a perpetual free fall. But that is not having no gravity. In fact that is literally just falling without hitting the ground. A certain toy cowboy would say its just falling with style
      To be honest we don't even know if you actually are weightless in space. For two reasons first being we have never launched anything that didn't use and arc in a gravity well. And second everything we sent out had motion and their for its like the room on earth vs the room moving up at the same rate as earth's gravity pulling down thought experiment. meaning we couldn't test for gravity when we sent them. Now a days we have a new way of testing for gravity by looking for gravity waves but we never sent one of those out yet. so ya we actually don't know if you would actually be weightless in empty space.
      It very well could be that if you were stationary in a room in empty space. You would feel the slight pull of the closet gravity well and center to that up and down and come to rest on the side of the room closet to that gravity well because it would be pulling you just ever so slightly more in that direction then every other gravity well in the universe. or it could be because every gravity well in the universe would be pulling you in a slightly different direction that you would just feel weightless. But logicly it's more likely the strongest gravity well closest to you would effect you and pull you ever so slightly in that direction that you would still feel a gravitational effect. their for having a gravitational sense of up and down you would center to.

      I'm starting to think I've found the "empty space"... like I said it was just a joke, but that doesn't seem to be registering with you for some reason even after I specifically said it was intended to just be a joke.

    In high school physics my friend Helen had her mind blown like I've never seen before or sense when we learned air is a fluid.

    for the flash, it would come down to coefficient of friction between the wheels and the pavement which like Kyle said the flash would be doing a burn out as the tires would be moving so fast they would overcome this before they failed, the durability of parts like the wheels ,chain, and pedals( they would almost undoubtedly fail because of the forces being applied to them), and the how much heat the friction generated and whether it would be enough to melt the tires and possibly the entire bike.
