How Thanos Throws a Moon

[@becausescience]

*Don’t worry, no spoilers here!* (I WILL IMMEDIATELY BAN SPOILERY PEOPLE. IF YOU NEED TO POST A LIGHT SPOILER, PLEASE INCLUDE LINES SO IT FALLS BELOW "READ MORE") This was a lot of fun, but I did film it before Infinity War came out. I’ve now seen the movie, and this analysis would have to change a bit (I won’t say how!). Still, I think we can learn something interesting. Expect more Infinity War science soon. Thanks for watching! Also, the trailers I’m talking about were exclusive to SDCC and D23, so here are the stills from that scene if you want: ew.com/movies/avengers-infinity-war-exclusive-photos - KH

Oh no. Spoilers in the next vlog?

"That's no moon" - Obi-Wan Kenobi

[@MatterBeamTSF]

@Erin Heck If the mass of the Moon is reduced, the effect of gravity would translate into a proportionately smaller force. Its orbit would not be affected.

[@Sheuto]

Lol, I was just typing a comment about why are you assuming he is applying this force in just one place instead of in a uniform way, when the video got to that. xD Also since he can manipulate space and time, maybe he's using some quantum magic and just increasing the chances of finding the moon closer to the planet?

[@snaake9389]

Forget a moon, Thanos threw a literal black hole at Doctor Strange.

[@merceralex1935]

Snaake yeah

[@SSJRadioBluth]

And Strange turned it into butterflies

[@kennard4717]

Then, plot twist. "Mirror Dimension!"

[@sohamha]

hence muse created an album named - black hole and butterflies

Yeah, pretty bad line.

[@tarangpatil6952]

*_Throws another moon_* What are you gonna do

[@erikareizaga5188]

Was it a full moon that was thrown or pieces of it

[@joshuaallen472]

He uses the power stone to break it up, space stone to bring the pieces into the atmosphere and throws it at them.

8:19 ...is it just me or is ignoring "fundamental physics like Newton's third law" the Entire Point of the Infinity Gauntlet?

[@the_dropbear4392]

LucenProject Yeah the reality stone basically says F-you to physics

[@Tech_Traveler]

LucenProject thats correct. The power of the reality gem, time, and space allows the user to change the very fabric of reality to what ever they imagine.

[@hendrayudhapratama]

Eric Dixon thanos doesnt have time stone at that moment

[@rontayan]

Were talking about the movie right?

You must be fun at parties

[@ALEJOwhatever]

*So basically Thanos is using the same idea as the Skull Kid from Majora's Mask*

[@RoboThunder]

ALEJOwhatever This mad man..

[@shady2982]

yee 😎

[@supersecret4899]

He didn't take three days tho lol

[@shadows_assassin3131]

Super Secret But what if he did? But used the time stone to speed it up at a rate? 🤔 Thanos = Skullkid confirmed?

[@THEO00900]

Shadows_Assassin. Thanos is also using his left hand to do the movement of the telekinesis so Thanos=Sans=Ness.

[@eugenefoley2333]

Friendly reminder: when talking acceleration(3:00), you want a lower case g. g: Acceleration due to Earth's gravity = 9.8 m/s/s G: Gravitational Constant = 6.67408 × 10^-11 m^3/kg/s/s Edit: Thanks to DocterOreo for pointing out I originally had 10^11 instead of 10^-11

[@Subhumanoid_]

A physics grammar Nazi. Now I've seen it all..

They’re on titan, not earth

[@wakuwaku1964]

Kale Chip Krunch you got it. also starlord told us the gravity and orbit rotation of titan status.

[@AnastasiaIoppolo]

waku waku yeah

[@Ken_neThT]

2:52 lol "Thanos and the Infinity Gauntlet" sounds like a rock band or something

[@kenjisoriano5880]

spppoooooiiiilllerrrrssss he didn't throw the moon he just threw shards of the moon becoming meteors

[@sletharanamathine]

Spoilers It's clear

[@Procrustinator52]

Wish he did.That would look amazing.

[@thickdickmusclereaction327]

Watch it again. Some are meteors; but the one that hits iron man is the moon.

[@Procrustinator52]

THICK DICK MUSCLE REACTION it's not that moon would have destroyed the surface of that planet

[@thickdickmusclereaction327]

Bro. This is Marvel. Where flying to another planet in an iron suit lets you breathe in outer space. When has logic ever made sense.

[@AnonymousFreakYT]

7:00 - Anyone watching this full screen on a display larger than about 35" diagonal - that line showing how close the moon would have to be is actually *BIGGER* on your screen than it would be in real life.

[@dragodelchaos]

Just saw the movie and it was awesome. Nice timing.

[@MarkEdwardRom]

no spoilers needed = everything said is legit. Too legit to quit!

[@luuk1769]

same

[@at0mly]

Thronos? Thro no you didn't!

[@jefferhoo4925]

Peter Connell noooo

[@DrRexie]

He doesn't throw a moon specifically he uses the power stone to turn it into meteorites and brings that raining down onto the surface of titan to make a full force meteor shower

[@IamnotJohnFord]

DR METROPURSUIT And, it was absolutely awesome.

[@DrRexie]

Brad Smith it was both awesome and horrifying :)

[@repinswatson6452]

Well he also used the space stone to teleport the meteorites.

[@DrRexie]

Repins Watson not really it was purple fire that means only the power stone was at work if he teleported it then the moon would be solid not in junks

[@LarryBonson]

DR METROPURSUIT And Ironman got hit by a really large chunk, lol

[@Pile-O-Beans]

shrek dies in infinity war

[@chubbywalrusgaming]

Bat Man also Mickey and Freddy Fazbear

[@tabledudeyeet233]

Chuck Norris died

[@jessicaproctor687]

Squidward dies in infinity war too :(

[@Wryvan]

Bat Man You died too. You are now commenting inside the Soul Stone.

[@UnwittingSweater]

If Shrek dies they will play All Star slowly in a minor key.

[@swrdghcnqstdr]

Not a spoiler, but contains information from the movie: When he throws the moon, the moon does not fall as a moon. It falls as a bunch of pieces. So it checks out! Marvel does science things!

[@JaelinBezel]

SCIENCE, YOU FOOLS!! >:D

[@scottiegang2236]

Cody Hines Science doesnt apply with the infinity gaunlet

[@arandomguyel-9402]

Science doesn’t apply with movie -_-

[@Stryfe52]

A random guy EL-9 Yeah, but if Thanos threw a whole moon - the planet would still explode. Thanos knew that too, so that’s why he threw it in small chunks

[@TheTransforcer]

You know, “for not having seen the movie”, you make an awful lot of accurate references to the film. Like so many finger snaps?

[@MrMarioman569]

TheTransforcer the finger snaps are referenced in the trailer. It’s obvious he hasn’t seen the movie when this video came out weeks before release.

[@TheTransforcer]

MrMarioman569 was it?! That’s surprising considering THATS the movie in a nutshell; a hell of a spoiler!

[@fishsohorny]

TheTransforcer the finger snap happened in the comics its based on too, like 20 years ago

[@TheSwordSmasher]

10:23 Snaps his fingers and says it would turn to dust. Need I say more?

[@petercarioscia9189]

@@TheTransforcer the snap is the entire point of the gauntlet in the source material

[@karlsingh9076]

If Thanos did do this idea, he would have to use the Infinity Gauntlet to vary the Moon's magnetic field up to a certain point capable of throwing it. This would increase the temperature of impact and increase the pressure of the throwing force

[@Decaticon]

*reads title* "he has a infinity gauntlet" question answered

[@GilissenKim]

Hey Kyle, i wanted to ask a question about Railguns. I heard that in Warhammer 40k a Railgun was shot at a heavy battle tank, leaving a small entry and exit hole, but due to the speed of the shot created a vacuum that sucked the crew out of the exit hole. Can this happen? Also, if the projectile is shot at near light speeds or even half that speed, when it doesn't impact anything, would it continue to travel in a straight line and due to the curvature of the earth eventually escape earth's atmosphere and continue to travel through space?

[@ion2347]

I'm pretty sure it won't create a vacuum powerful enough to do that. Also, the thing would need to be shot at near light speed or lightspeed to actually make a major vacuum. Also, if that was fired, the shell would (Depending on distance from tank and how well the shell pushes atoms out of the way)become a ball of plasma that would hit the tank. The result would be a lot more dramatic than a "small entrance and exit hole.

[@ion2347]

as for the curvature of the earth, it depends where you're firing it from. the curvature isn't really noticeable over maybe couple mile long distances, like on a battlefield.

[@ion2347]

It might travel out of the atmosphere if it doesn't become a ball of plasma and set off multiple tiny nuclear level reactions at once.

[@GilissenKim]

Well, i know for a fact that the Wikia of 40k is wrong, it shows 6-10x the speed of sounds (which is slower than our current prototype btw :p ) But in the books of the Tau race it gets shot at 0.2c (2% speed of light = 2% of Mach 881.000) That is still a few thousand times faster than the Wikia said. And yes in terms of the Tau it does heat up into a ball of plasma, because they all look like blue streaks of light. ;)

[@NotHPotter]

Or he could just expand the fabric of spacetime behind the moon and contract it in front of the moon to move it without acting on it directly to avoid all those uneven forces. The alcubierre drive works like that. Edited to correct that name.

[@giordihero]

that wouldn't apply momentum tho, it would just get the moon near the planet.

[@NotHPotter]

Yeah, but once it's a mile up, just let go. Something that big doesn't need a lot of momentum to cause a problem.

[@k_tess]

That's the alcubierre drive

[@luongmaihunggia]

That's the alcubierre drive not the EM drive.

[@NotHPotter]

king_ Tesseract you are correct, sir.

[@SeantheBawse]

@BecauseScience When you were explaining that General Organa was pulling on the ship not pushing herself, it was a little hard for me to see in my head, but the more you mention the Physics of throwing the moon...I think i got it. 👍

[@jaspr1999]

You're correct but didn't add in the sudden stopping changing the orbit of the moon. If memory serves the moon orbits the Earth around 2,300 mph. Suddenly stopping it or changing its speed would destroy it. What would be left would be pulled down to impact on the surface, giving the Avengers a REALLY bad second. Enough time to say, "Oh Sh..."

[@GetRoasted1]

Except this isn't Earth's moon its one of titans moons as he mentioned. Unless titans moon is also going at the same speed then what you said does not relate to the movie.

[@jaspr1999]

GetRoasted1, Any body close enough to a larger body is going to be orbiting it or falling on it. In order for it to be in orbit, it must be going fast enough to essentially fall into a singular orbit, if it isn't it will crash into the larger body or fly off into space. This holds true for every planetary body, not just Earth.

[@GetRoasted1]

You're right but then again this is a fictional universe. Anyway I don't think he actually throws the moon anyway I believe he rips it apart with the power stone then uses the space stone to teleport it closer to the planet or moon they are on. Titan is also a moon that orbits Saturn so Thanos is probably ripping apart one of Saturn's other moons so you're right it could possibly be orbiting Saturn much faster than 2300 mph I believe Titan orbits Saturn at over 12,000 mph.

[@waluruswalurus1479]

If you look at the scene closely he doesn’t rlly throw the moon. He simply uses the power stone to break the rocks on the surface on the moon and continues to use the space stone to teleport those small debris to the actual planet itself...still cool tho

[@adampickett138]

Thank you for adding the line about the gauntlet ignoring fundamental physics (8:20). After watching the movie I had a chuckle at what would have happened if it hadn't. Just a tiny little Thanos rocketing off into space, or even better, him reaching for the moon and his arm ripping right off and flying away!

[@Getwright-]

Only a trailer to go on, and you completely fricken nail it! Well scienced sir!

[@boswcheydoesart1314]

Hi Kule! Loved the video! Love to get more of the Infinity War hype meshed with the Because Sciencyness of Because Science! One thing I’ve love to add to our fabulous discussion: given an object moving at relativistic speeds would gain relativistic mass, couldn’t Thanos use this by using unknown means vibrating at lightspeed to gain relativistic mass, thereby generating a pseudo gravitational field? If this were to occur, it could be very possible that by generating a pseudo gravitational field, he could hurl an entire planet much like someone swinging a sword in Monster Hunter. As discussed recently in an episode of you’res, the main problem with Monster Hunter is if a person is trying to weild a sword bigger than them, even if they’re somehow strong enough to do so, they would instead twirl themselves over the thing because according to Newton’s Third Law of Motion, the reaction on the smaller mass would appear bigger than the initial larger mass. Sort of like what happens when a gun fires. By doing what I’m describing here, Thanos could conquer this problem by theoretically gaining enough mass to rival that of the moon he is throwing, thereby becoming the gun that shoots the moon-sized bullet. The main problem with this is that by vibrating at these speeds, Thanos would also generate craploads (yes, that’s a sci-fientific term) of kinetic energy. I was unable to find the mass of Thanos himself, so seeing the beefy dude that he is, I assumed the variable of the world record for the heaviest person, set in 2006 at 1235 pounds or roughly 560 kilograms. If Thanos weighed this and moved at 99.99% the speed of light, he would be generating approximately 3.515x10^20 Joules, or nearly the energy consumed by the entire world in 2010. Even his stupidly massive pinkie finger gripping it wrong as he throws the moon could instantly vaporize it entirely! (that’s a small stretch; my actual calculations revealed he could vaporize about a hundred quintillion human beings, which I’m pretty sure is far worse). The upside to this is it could be how he could destroy half the universe with a snap of his fingers; especially if the Infinity Gauntlet and the Stones are linked to his ability to vibrate at relativistic speeds in the first place. Interesting? Check. Long? Double-check. Typos for Kyle Hill to make fun of? Check. Posted in the magic time zone where he actually reads this? Check. OK, that should be everything then ;)

0:03 "Quill are you making your voice deep?" -Rocket

[@MatterBeamTSF]

If you are guessing that Thanos is pulling a much closer, much smaller 'moon' down to the ground... it still won't work. The Earth's Moon has a mass of 7.34e22kg and a surface area of 3.79e7 km^2. A thousand times smaller object would be only 3.4km wide, mass 7.34e13kg and have a surface area of 36km^2. The mass to surface area ratio of either object determines how much the pressure you need to apply to the surface. It varies linearly with size - the thousand times smaller object would require a thousand times less pressure to accelerate at the same rate. Is it enough? Not really. The pressure needed to accelerate the Earth's Moon to get to the ground in 10 seconds is 742 MILLION times greater than the maximum strength of the Moon's materials. If you reduce this by a factor 1000, you're still apply a million times too much pressure!

[@tristentan5663]

Matter Beam he only uses the power stone to rip the surface off and then the space stone to teleport the moon shards to a couple hundred meters above his target

[@MatterBeamTSF]

Haven't watched the movie - I could only make assumptions about the possible size(s) of the 'moon' being pulled in.

[@rexone9564]

Need alert!

[@rdizzy1]

What if the moon is made out of far more dense materials with far better bonds. Also, if he can control time and space, he could just negate all normal forces on it in the first place. Nothing he does would be confined by physics at all.

[@MatterBeamTSF]

If the 'moon' was actually an asteroid made completely out of iron, it would only survive a pressure about 100MPa, or about 5x higher than we've assumed with the silicate rocks so far. It's not a great improvement! The problem with not being bound by physics is that we'd have nothing to talk about.

[@Mr20Gogo]

@7:03 0.2m is a bit larger than half a foot (~0.656 foot), but I forgive you because of inferior imperial units :)

[@gse547]

spoilers!!!! He had 4 of the stones before the scene were they showed him "trowing" the moon (he did not actually trow the moon, but broke rocks off of it's surface then threw them). He had the reality stone at that time, so he could have even turn the moon into cheese. Thanos did not have the time stone yet at the moon scene sooo.

just very good guesses. He rly did crack the moon open and it rly was a moon.

[@Charliepinman]

not entirely, i didnt watch anything on the movie and now i know hes throwing a moon.... havent seen it yet....it was in my subscription box so the title... kind of gives it a way

[@akshaykumar_r]

3:18 "A billion times harder than the Sun pulling on the Earth..." Hold on, doesn't that mean that when Thanos tries to pull down a celestial body with so much 'force', won't he pulling other planets in the system too? Worst case scenario, he can destroy the entire system altogether O_o Edit: It would be hilarious if Hawkeye landed the finishing blow on Thanos. Imagine the mass hysteria that it'd cause :P

[@TheLastRealPanda]

i dont think so, because he is only "grabbing" on the moon. its like digging your fingers into sand. you end up wit a fist full of sand, not the whole sandbox

[@Theoq99]

Depends how precisely he can control the force he's manipulating.

[@lazaroherrera-desjardins2531]

No, because he's not projecting a gravity well, he's applying force locally. If it WAS a full gravity well, with that much force... it'd actually be much more effective at wiping out the Venvengers instantly. Along with the entire solar system. And the black hole wouldn't even be the cause of the initial destruction.

[@luongmaihunggia]

Why would he pulling other planets in the system? Your logic make no sense, if I pull a car, why would other cars move?

Can you talk about how slip space works from halo is it like a worm hole

[@paulsullivan649]

I, too, would love to see some more Halo related content. ^_^

[@justinthompson6364]

I'd say slip space allows ships to travel out of our three dimensional geometry to a universe that has different properties and back, letting them show up at a great distance from where they entered slip space in a relatively short amount of time.

[@jamesleduke873]

Justin Thompson, that's pretty much how the novels explain Slipspace. Slipspace is just an 11 dimensional shortcut.

[@bryantrussell120]

That would be cool I've also been wanting a video on how much force the different Macs have or how much energy the halos need to work

[@martyshrekster]

Bryant Russell Well, assuming the values on the wiki are correct, the Orbital Defense Station's MAC fires a 3,000 ton projectile at 12,000km/s, so it would have around 1.96x10^20, or 196 quintillion, Newtons at the muzzle. So... A lot. The smaller ship-based MACs apparently fire a 600 ton projectile at 30,000m/s, so that's 4.9x10^14 , or 490 trillion, Newtons.

[@cube-4176]

You mentioned that he has time control power, as well. What if he were to pull the moon very, very slowly, but still quickly relative to the Avengers (or camera, or observer)? What amount of time would a moon-like object need to spend falling in order to impact mostly intact, assuming an either constant acceleration or constant speed? Is this even possible?

[@millerrepin4452]

Nice thought experiment but he didn't have the time stone when he threw the parts of the moon at them

Or across the universe or into the super massive black hole at the center of the galaxy

[@daxin2272]

He didn't throw a moon, he just separated some of its surface from that moon creating a meteor rain. What would be the point of destroying Avengers, he just wanted the time stone.

Nice episode Kyle.

[@exspiravit3335]

While he has 4 infinity gems which control space, power, souls, and reality itself......let’s science the shit out of it!!!!

[@DeckardGames]

Hi Kyle If the moon would come to be that close to earth (not even that close) wouldn't we all drown first? Because of sea level rising due to the pull of the moon? (Assuming that would happen on earth) Great episode

[@acetrainerwinter9926]

Deckard Games I think this would all be happening so fast that drowning would be a blessing. The earth and everything on it would be gone before the oceans budged with the scale of this scenario

[@DeckardGames]

That would be if it impacted earth. But if it were to be destroyed piece by piece without impact, wouldn't it still have time to pull the water levels up? That would drop again, creating endless tsunamis and things?

[@muninrob]

That's not actually how tides work, and NO the moon's mass (and thus gravity) is NOWHERE near enough to counter the earth's mass (and thus gravity) in a tug of war. Even if your idea of how the tides work were correct, it would be like saying "I'm gonna pull that 30 ton truck up the side of mount Everest, with nothing but my bare hands" kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqimmZ5qiJ5sn5Y

[@DeckardGames]

Sorry Robert, but I didn't understand what you are trying to say. Can you explain?

[@muninrob]

Watch the linked video to cure your ignorance on the tides - then go to a highschool physics class and learn some facts about what causes gravity and how it works. (Here's the link again since you couldn't find it the 1st time) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqimmZ5qiJ5sn5Y Thinking the moon can pull the water up away from the earth via gravity is like thinking your 1/4 lb cheesburger will be able to balance you on a playground teeter - totter (and it won't work for the same reason, you *the earth* is just too damned big & heavy, while the cheeseburger *the moon* is just too damn small by comparison)

[@gonzalolongone]

I think he breaks up part of the moon and then uses the space stone to teleport the pieces to the surface.

I did not. The Space Stone apparently gets around these problems. It's OP -- KH

[@savantskie]

Not to mention my comment about the Reality Stone.

[@Sacremas]

The Space Stone/Tesseract could probably have teleported the moon to the surface, though that wouldn't have been quite as cool (and also Thanos still seems vulnerable, unlike comics counterpart with the gauntlet). But Thanos seems to use it mostly for telekinetic feats when not teleporting around, probably using the power stone to amp the other powers and reality stone to ignore silly things like physics. No idea what the Soul stone can do in MCU, since that's what we've seen the least of.

[@Grimner6]

As the moon comes closer to earth, the gravity would start to feel weird, and it would probably mess up some of the heroes' superpowers, right? Like spiderman would be less coordinated and Iron Man would need to adapt to it. Would be fun to see Spider Man in a 0 gravity environement if you ask me :P

[@Falcodrin]

Grimner iron Man would have no problems as his ai recalculates on the fly

[@Grimner6]

LarryM im not into DC and marvel, but do we know if his AI is used to work with a different gravity ? And it would have to constantly adapt since the gravity would be decreasing non stop

[@Falcodrin]

Grimner it's a super powerful legit ai that already handles all of his flight stabilization

Grimner he's also modded his suit for spaceflight before

He shattered the moon before throwing it...

So?

The movie was released on the 25th of April in Australia. This movie was released in Australia ahead of the USA for the first time in forever. Went to see it, it was great.

Shouldn't that be more turning the moon into molten rock (with a lower density perhaps), than dust?

[@craigoakley4442]

Without spoiling anything for anyone - you got it fairly spot on. Having not paid as much attention or detail as to this video as I did to the movie "moment" I believe Thanos uses the power of the power stone to fracture the moon, pulls it down in multiple pieces as meteorites to attack the avengers rather than a whole. So kind of like your second theory of pulling multiple any many pieces simultaneously rather than a single mass.

[@OneTrueWindfall]

this is completely off topic and all but i just wanna say that the Dr.Strange movements that you did at the beginning were super on point

[@ethanadams8109]

In the real movie, he doesn't actually throw the moon, he breaks up the surface and launches those small peices down

[@djangoray2665]

Thanos is very irresponsible. He wants to destroy planets for a girl. My parents taught me, if a girl doesn't like me for who I am ( even a purple son of a #$_&(female dog) the she's not worthy of my black hammer.

[@IamnotJohnFord]

Zeus Modi Well, to be true, Thanos is wooing Death. It's not like he's gonna fine another fish in the cosmic sea that can compare to the one he is pursuing. Don't fought the Titan for aiming high.

[@Aristocratic13]

+Brad Smith Actually Thanos got the girl... Or at least a better version. He got Hela

[@DanielHenriqueDHDDS]

He is the mitological Titan, on the myth titan is a "god creator", or "god father/mother", en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titan_(mythology) , the sixth moon of Saturn, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titan_(moon) , is a reference due to his big size

He teleported the moon so the atmosphere doesn't erode it. He knows the science.

[@crazybeater8238]

Alot of dam dam 🤣. Quality content 😋. The sence thr film in EVEN BETTTTER 🤩.

[@shrappnel21]

So I just rewatched the throwing the moon scene, and more impressively (imo) the mini black hole scene. A few things: - The moon was a LOT closer than the example given, which is the distance our moon is from earth. - It doesnt look like he throws the entire moon at the heroes. He uses two of the infinity stone's powers: 1) He first uses the Power stone (purple) to "grab" then break apart the satellite's upper layers to use as projectiles. 2) He then uses the Space stone (blue) to "transport" the moon debris closer so that the atmosphere doesnt shred them to pieces before doing what they were intended to do. I feel like the more impressive feat was when Thanos used the Space stone to create the "mini" black hole against Doc Strange, mini being relative (given the size from the scene, and considering earth's swarchzchild radius is 9mm, it was at least 500-1000 earth's mass).

[@armorhide406]

It is really amazing that this video comes out before Avengers but he knows where was the fight taking place.

[@1031985]

It’s interesting how accurate you were about the moon breaking from the force. That’s basically what we see - the surface breaks, and pieces are flying to earth. Not the whole moon, but the pieces are.

[@alexhartley9963]

I think we are forgetting that he uses the power stone, capable of destroying planets, and the space stone which he used to manipulate space in order to do it almost effortlessly. He did find it kind of difficult, he had a lot of strain on that adorable face of his. But I like the video. Thank you

[@pulkitmalik92]

After watching your video, I am even more appreciated on how much attention the film pays to actual physics :D

[@michaellorde8404]

Kyle Thanos also made and threw a black hole pls make a vid on that

[@coryrubright9372]

I know you didn’t see the movie previous to making this video... BUT I’d say the size of the “moon” was more Football Stadium sized (ish) and, OR. seemed to be only a chunk of that moon that was thrown, couldn’t quite tell due to all the awesomeness of the movie.

[@pine2445]

Dude, you have like the best channel ever

[@MavericSun]

Something I noticed on second viewing was that he uses the power stone to shatter the moon and then the space stone to pull the pieces to the surface faster than just letting them fall from orbit.

[@GreenLama]

thaTS A LOTTA DAMMAGE

[@XadexSquared]

There's always the chance it takes longer for the moon to hit or that it's smaller than our moon. Either of which would decrease the amount of kinetic energy it hits with.

[@Hedshodd]

Maybe a correction, but at least a cool note: In your first calculation, especially because you bring in relativistic effects later, shouldn't we consider the distance of the moon affecting the time it takes for Thanos' infinity gauntlet to 'reach' the moon? With the moon being roughly three light seconds away, and the first rubble appearing, as you said, 10 seconds after Thanos activating the gauntlet, the travel time for the moon would actually more accurately be 7 seconds. That would pretty much double the accelaration the moon has to ~1.6 * 10^6 G (1.6 Million G). That doesn't change a whole lot, since it's just a factor of two, but still.

[@kensukeshimojo2658]

My interpretation was that he used the power stone to crack the surface of the moon into pieces and used the space stone to teleport the pieces to somewhere on the atmosphere high enough for it to gain velocity and do damage but low enough that it doesn't take too much time

[@davidleino6725]

10:20 I like how after he snapped he said "turn itself to dust"

[@BlackPantherN7]

He combines the power gem and the space gem to do it in the movie. Watch the colors when they shift to show which gem/infinity stone.

[@Taka-yn9ur]

Its been on my mind for a bit but I would like to see the science behind the High frequency blade of metal gear.
