Daredevil: Uses radar senses like a bat... *Batman.*
Ghost Rider: A former daredevil and current "devil"... *Daredevil.*
+Raul Mejia Rich, no inlaws, and a rockin' body... you should be called...BOYFRIEND!!!
“Bat-devil”? “Dare-bat”? “Dare-bat”’s actually pretty good, I’ma coin that.
sonar not radar
Ghost Rider actually doesn't like Daredevil for that exact reason.
Bats don't use radar sense since it's for daredevil, it's echo location you're thinking about lmao
There's a more realistic, albeit rare, explanation to Matt Murdoch's condition: he developed synesthesia after his eyes were exposed to said chemicals. He may be "clinically blind", but he is still able to see. Meaning, that chemical exposure might have rewired his optical nerves with his auditory nerves.
Echolocation is a big part of his abilities but without the superhearing and Heightened senses, he'd be nowhere near as good.
Super hearing is a large part of him, hearing heartbeats, hearing conversations, tracking with super smell, his sense of touch and balance as well.
The synesthesia would be cool for another character but the Echolocation and super hearing is already the explanation for him and is a large part of the comics.
4:04 the real life Stick
+Kenneth Wong Super glad someone pointed it out, i was thinking the exact same thing. Except Daniel doesnt train the blind kid to kick gangster butt...so thats different
i dont get it
sandro menabde the guy who trained Daredevil is named Stick
Kenneth Wong ooooh that explains cause im on the 5th episode
Omg ur right
P.s stick would be better if he was more honorable. And didn't try to kill iron fist. If he tried to cancel his show there.wouldnt be any objection though.
whene he stopped and said open your eyes I said o sorry I was like wait wtf am I doing
haha XD cuuuuute
omfg i did the same thing, this guy is so enjoyable to watch.
canadians....
I'm legally blind, but you'd never know it if you see me fight. I can feel people around me, I can feel where they are and I can feel when they're about to take a swing on me. I can't really see anything more than blurry shspes, but that feeling I get is way better than vision, I think it's that feeling you're describing, it's awesome.
Lol for some reason that made me think of the final fight from bloodsport xD maybe the weird noises jean claude van damme makes help him echo locate? Lol
I'm kidding though
But honestly that is pretty badass that you can fight like that
As a fellow martial artist you have my respect
Always develop and grow
I think I'm gonna try some training blind
I have great night vision and even though I will never be as in tune with my non vision senses as a true blind person I feel like echolocation will add to my abilities and make me more versatile
I knew all of this already. When you loose a sense your other senses are able to make up for the one that you lost. One of the biggest issues I find that a lot of people had with the movie is that Dare Devil is able to see despite being blind. But no he can't see, the visuals you are seeing as the audience is just how they show sighted people how his other senses are creating a picture in his mind. It's a trick that both the comics and cartoons used as well but a lot of people miss interpret this as actual sight.
Whenever ur blind,ur other senses make up for it only if u want it to and only if u start using the other senses to the max,if u be like I can't see, I'll hear like a normal person,taste like a normal person,feel like a normal person,those senses won't work to the fullest
That was funny he goes close your eyes and i kept it closed and whilst he was explaining he goes open your eyes and i thought he could actualy see me
lol
+yousuf yasir Me too
youre other person, besides myself, of course, to use the word whilst instead of while
youre other person, besides myself, of course, to use the word whilst instead of while
exact same xD
haha wait when he said open your eyes I thought he was in the room with me I got so freaked out
When he started talking about the "pressure" on your face when walking around your house with your eyes closed, I was floored.
I often get home late, and don't want to wake my parents up by turning the lights on, so I navigate my dark ass house all the time, and I can FEEL this pressure on me when I move around.
I'm suprised you didn't mention Ralf Mackel. He was born blind but he can somewhat distinguish light and dark. He is a racedriver. He can't though not participate at competitions since he has to be alone on the track, otherwise the additional motorsounds would trouble his echolocation. He drives sportscars, motorbikes and quads. He has participated at an event of the DTM (kind of Nascar but with rightturns too) and has a contract with Kawasaki. He is not only able to drive whole laps, his times are actually so good that professional racedrivers claimed that he would be a very serious opponent if they could race together. To prove he is not an impostor, Ralf has been dragged to different ophthalmologists confirming that he has an ability of sight around 0,5%.
+Joel Shinoda i mean theres people that have perfectly good working eyes but they cant see because the nerves connecting his eyes to the brain dont work. they can tell then theres something in front of them like a wall or stairs but they cant see it. is he like that?
+Juan Alejos No. They did count the photoreceptors in his eyes. While he has no color-sensitive cones, he has a very limited number of photosensitive rod cells. His eyes also don't show any reacton when you shine with a flashlight into them.
Joel Shinoda
oh thats interesting.
skin does have a little sensitivity to light, so that is how I think he do it
This video made me realize something. Everyone loves this show, because it teaches us science in a way we are actually interested, because it aproaches themes we care, like pop culture. School should do this more often, like teach science using pop culture as an example, that way the kids would be much more interested.
I'm testing that out with my hand right now, I close my eyes and wave my hand over my face. I can definitely feel something and I think it's the combination of the light coming from my phone's screen that gets covered by my hand and the heat coming from my phone and my hand.
As shown in several episodes, Daredevil has heightened hearing, which allows him to hear everything, and home in on a voice he recognizes as being threatening, or a gunshot and then the screech of a cars tires. It's basically what you were saying; It's as though he's listening to the radio and getting twenty to forty stations at a time, only he can tune all the others out until he gets everything he needs from just the one
Wow. It's 10:15 at night and I'm talking to my hand. I'm going to die alone.
This is too cool. I love learning and combined with pop culture just makes it better. Thanks for all the information.
Linda Cox Thank you so much!
Kyle Hill jjjjjogiuccgfu95o0pup0
How many people actually closed there eyes!
Edit (4 years later): I was 11 guys, I know what kid of “their” it is now.
their
their, and also me
+David Tempone And also opened them when he told us to.
Noble98 I opened early
I actually didn't and thought it was hilarious.
Daredevil, the real Batman
+Revan460 Except bats are not blind. ;)
Only partially.
+Deven Gilmore (ShadowB1ade67) Same with Daredevil.
+Revan460 and not red
+TheSuperbro19999 not true hes compliely blind but his ears are mutated
angus wheely In the show he states he can see but barely and everything appears on fire in his eyes.
as an experiment, i started walking towards a wall with my eyes closed. i could feel something tingling in front of me as i seemingly got closer. one second later i hit the wall. humans are very strange creatures.
ngl, kept my eyes closed until he said to open them.
I did
Practice. Even with eyes you can practice and at least know where the walls are in a room by clicking your tongue. It's pitch. The closer you are to a wall, the higher the pitch and vice versa. I thought it was crap... it's not. Just use a blindfold.
One of his powers is radar sense. Which allows him to sense objects or something
I saw a (dutch) guy once who could do this echo location and even know which color the object was. To me this felt like a trick, but since a color is basically absorbing and reflecting certain bits of the color spectrum, it could make sense they reflect sound differently too.
J. Philip vanHeijkoop Hmmm I don't buy this...
is toffe's "earth bending sight" considered echolocation? (that blind earthbender from avatar)
Thank you so much for calling him "The man without Fear" because it has been so long since I've heard that spoken (the MCU kinda steers clear of all the sometimes goofy nicknames their heroes have as DC leans into it ala the Dark Knight and Man of Steel.) that it gave me a strong dopamine hit that soothed my Tourettes and gave me those chills you get when listening to good music. Thanks man.
The quality of your videos is so extreme. Your description is always on point and its just so good too watch and very educational! i love it just awesome!! :)
Hey, Kyle! You're doing a great job with this show, man. I really enjoy watching Because Science. Thanks for all the hard work! Cheers
EdQF Thank you!
I'm burning through all of your videos, Kyle, and this is my favourite episode so far.
After watching Daredevil and some videos of Daniel Kish, I've been training myself how to echo locate, even though I can see.
"open your eyes" got me XXD
You can also feel the heat radiating when someone or something is close to you. And you could possibly sense the change in air pressure when something comes in close proximity.
@nerdist I like how you mentioned the sixth sense but with enough training on it you would actually develop something like an amplification on your other five senses and it is a very powerful thing to have but mastering it is completely rewarding
and keep up the good work Nerdist, love ur channel and I support it a lot.
In Germany there exist multiple exhibits with blind people leading seeing people through totally darkened rooms.
Obviously absolutely NO lights are allowed inside these darkened rooms.
These exhibits are called 'Dialog im Dunkeln' / Dialogue In The Dark.
Here in Hamburg I visited the local exhibit multiple times.
During one of these visits our tour guide had just led us into the first totally darkened room.
She introduced hereself, and explained a little, but forestopped the usual explanation.
She then astonished everyone of us by saying: "Please, would the tall man in the back in the right corner step a bit closer so I don't have to talk so loud?
Don't worry, there is no one directly in front of you."
Everybody was flabberghasted, then the man in question asked: "How did you know I was tall?"
She answered: "I heard you breathing when everybody was quiet, and you have a slight headcold. I heard your breath from fairly high above the ground. I'd assume you are between 1.93 and 1.96 meters tall." (appr. 6'4" and 6'5").
Everybody could hear from his astonished "1.94" / 6'4.5" that our guide was absolutely right.
No, they don't pull that stunt as a show effect, as in no other of my multiple visits did they do this, before or after.
So, yes, blind people do develope an amazing set of 'extra' senses.
Our brains are absolutely astonishing sets of senses linked into our neuroplasticity.
My theory is that he has honed the senses that he does have and had a dormant case of synesthesia that wasn't active because of visual data input. This would allow him to actually blend his remaining senses in his head and produce an actual "image" from the data.
Next time you are walking on a clear night after a warm day, close your eyes and hold out your hand - you can feel how close you are to buildings via thermo-ception from several feet away.
Wow this was an awesome video. I actually have a character in a story of mine that has stronger than normal senses, and this just helped me really get a more concrete idea of how his powers would work. Thank you
noel acevedo Happy to help
Please do an episode on how Bullseye from Daredevil throws everything.
Thanks Magic School Bus for teaching a generation of children about echolocation in bats!
One thing I did notice whilst holding my hand front of my face was I could feel the heat radiating off it from a lot further away than I would of guessed. It is amazing what you notice sense wise if you "look" for it.
I totally understand you and know what you mean ! Excellent video
I love this guy very informative & entertaining
this video rules! great job Nerdist!
Great show Kyle! Could you have a video related with the Terminator franchise? How far are we from having a liquid metal robot? They are even possible in a long future? Thanks for your videos, I never miss one of them!
3:20 How did he know they were STILL closed O.O
/sarcasm/
+UsagiStrife What's that?
Then... Daredevil could be a real superhero?!
I feel special, this was uploaded on my birthday, and about a show I love.
Like wow the first place someone explain the man without fear explain just perfectly
I think that this is hitting the nail on the head as the saying goes. Daredevil brain has simply learned to process the information that it receives from external stimuli.
I'm glad he reminded me to open my eyes
How does DareDevil see without sight? Easy, he has... SIGHT BEYOND SIGHT!
Liono, Lord of the Thundercats!!!
Out of a curiosity from seeing some specials about blind people echolocating and bats, I have tried to teach myself echolocation. Via clicks, I can tell basic things like the distance to a wall or the general scale of the environment I'm in. I can navigate certain areas just fine with my eyes closed (barring things like uneven terrain that I trip on). With dedication, anyone can learn this.
A dolphin's teeth are off set from each other from the left side to the right. Scientists theorize this feature causes their snouts to receive the incoming (returning echo) sound with stereo precision. Think of a triangle, and how much information can be gathered from it; the teeth on the left side of the mouth are one corner of the triangle, the teeth on the right side of the mouth are the second corner of the triangle, and the object in front of them is the third corner of the triangle
This is one of my favorite things. I work with disabled children, and one of them is blind (also non-verbal, to explain why I can't just ask him these things - he's 5). He often will bang on things around him, and I've always thought it was for this reason. It's very interesting, I don't think I've seen him bump into anything...just bang on anything in arm's reach.
There was that one boy who had his eyes removed due to a type of cancer. He could echolocate SUPER well. He'd click his tongue and several scientists would observe him. He'd ride bikes and play video games... even basket ball just like any other kid. His mom and his doctor felt that he should still walk with a stick but he felt it made him appear and get treated like he had a disability. Medically it would be safer for him to have the stick as his echolocation could not let him see potholes in the ground... just bump ups. They were worried he might walk into a manhole or into something. Unfortunately, the cancer returned and he passed away.
I'm really good at feeling people and objects around me, some of my friends are surprised when I'll be facing a different direction and still know where they are sneaking behind me
You gave another sense to understand superheroes !
I have a little of echolocation too, I'm not blind but I can fell things close to me, like like one time a friend threw at me the top of a bottle from the back, and I manage to dodge it.
the only ability i would like to have is the healing factor. thats all i need.
but you do have it deadpool...right?
niven poovanen in my latest comics, i think, i do not have it for now. because they are trying to kill me off... BASTARDS.
Oh shit!!!
didn't you kidnap Ryan Reynolds for your new movie coming out in 2 months
JXRegulus who told you?
I've yet to see a bad one of these, Thanks Kyle!
Devin Larson Thank you so much!
We'll when I was studying matial arts I would close my eyes and listen to sound and sometimes see a shadow of movement of objects moving in front of me.
That was super interesting. Now I want to close my eyes and walk around my house.
Interesting stuff!
Can you make a video on moon knight's supposed brain damage or maybe on what happened to the spirit when those chemicals 'killed' him but did not actually kill him. Keep up the great work.
What about Senastacia?
simply put, the sense derived from input from more than one receiver. much like when you smell a pie and immediately taste it, or hear a flag and then feel it despite not being in contact with it.
The parts of the brain that were solely dedicated to processing visual signals from the eyes are now used to process data from the other senses. Daredevil's sense has morphed into a type of synesthesia, where everything comes together as a mental image.
Anyone else notice that at the end, Kyle seems to actually turn his head involuntarily just before he hits the glass? Kinda proves his point!
Eco location is alot like sight ,light bounces of objects into our eyes we create a image,sound bounces of objects into our ears and we create a image
Dolphins echo location is linked to their optic nerve or so Ive read, same for the small un-scary mammals known as bats what scares Bruce
I thought could be a extremely case of Synesthesia.
I'm pretty sure I saw (BS) somewhere in this video ... but I can't quite put my finger on it... maybe I'll find it with echolocation 😂
daredevil is one of my favorite superheroes in the marvel comic universe and I have seen all episodes of the marvel Netflix show of daredevil. It is recommended by me to every single one of the people that have posted a comment on this vid
What about an episode on the car jump from building to building in Furious 7, are the physics even possible or what would it take to be possible?
A large wrist rocket slingshot
n33viper I'd prefer to wipe that movie from my memory
I know, it's kind of late, but: some weeks ago I had to go through a MRT. You know, you stay in that tube and don't see a thing. At one point one of the nurses came into the room and the only thing that stopped me from being scared when she touched ME was feeling the change of air-pressure when she opened the door. So actually my legs told me that someone entered the room. Call me Daredevil ^^
Wow. I loved this video. Science is kool dude! Lol
So is spelling
What? The "kool" Lol you ain't got shit better to do? Billy Amer
Lol Its Compton
Can you explain how Tony Starks Jarvis works?
Keep up the good work!
kinda cool. i always took daredevils sound based sight as being a form of sensory aphasia where the auditory senses were being processed by the visual cortex
Visualizing just you're room through sound must take some RIDICULOUS IQ & skill
Thats why I love daredevil not only is he blind he's not super powered just a bad ass
Kyle, I was with the handicapped groups in since grammar school and could tell you a lot about the blind, deaf and mentally impaired.
an awesome example of this is
knowing where a fly is based on its sound while our eyes are closed
Please make a video about the flash and how he makes lighting
A short video with full explanation 👍
XD I opened my eyes like a split second before he said to. Now I cant stop laughing
You should do a video about how the dimensional scissors work in star vs. the forces of evil
He explains in series one that his brain uses all the information received from his senses to create an interpretive image of his surroundings.
While you had your eyes closed, he stuck his (blurred out) fingers up at you!!
Ahh, these videos aren't long enough!
3:12 I could actually feel the presence of my hand without doing/saying anything and the hand not even touching, its weird
Does anybody else hear a quiet beep sound when he mention Daniel Kish? I think it was at around 3:58.
So similar to VSauce but so different. Damn, so cool.
and less scrubby, yeah I prefer this guy over vsauce myself.
Jerico Jabsworth I like them both :P
that's fine
Could anyone else feel the heat on their face when they put their hand in front of it?
You know what you SHOULD do a video on is the Infinity Stones/Gauntlet. That'd be awesome!. . .SURPRISE LIGHT SABER!!! lol.
So, I have a dysautonomic condition, meaning that my autonomic nervous system doesn't work right. The autonomic nervous system is what controls sense, including proprioception (as well as pretty much everything else that keeps you alive lol).
Y'know that moment when you go to pick up an opaque water bottle, thinking it's full, but it's mostly empty, so you use way too much strength and your arm kinda goes flying upward with the bottle? That is how I move through the world. I know where I want to go, and I move with intention; my body just tends to end up slightly off where I meant to. I bump into corners a lot, put my cups down unevenly onto surfaces, and am a general klutz.
Some days are worse than others - fatigue and pain affect it the most - but it takes a lot more concentration than for others.
All this to say, I'd make a really, REALLY bad blind person. Thank science for glasses that fix astigmatism as well....
its also how you can tell someone is behind you. you're brain sences air being displaced. and very quiet sounds you dont even notice.
this can also be seen in the training montage of some movies (the next karate kid with Hillary Swank comes to mind) where non-blind people train wearing a blindfold, this is really done in some martial arts to improve reaction time
Perfect: ad about Daredevil at Netflix at the video about Daredevil.
so basicly every time someone "visualizes" seen without sight (benaffleck daredevil, tophs earthbending etc etc ) then its somewhat realistic since our visual nerves are reacting too.
This guy reminds me of Jake from VSauce3. They should do a collaboration video.
