Could Kirby Inhale a Human? (Because Science w/ Kyle Hill)

[@Nerdist]

Does Kirby have a black hole inside him? Answer in my latest mini-episode on Insta (instagram.com/sci_Phile/). Thanks for watching nerds! -- KH

[@usernamesarestupid]

Nerdist I'll check it out ;)

[@Bl4ckV3ins]

This episode felt very similar to the one where you described the alien/human hybrid in alien resurrection getting made into space pate

[@usernamesarestupid]

Nerdist I just looked, seems your audio messed up and after about 5 seconds it cuts off completely

[@lionskull1]

On the note of the last scene in the video, how loud would a speaker have to be to "breathe for you"?

He's alright, don't worry about him. He called to tell me about that epic ride home he took. He has been talking about it non stop.

where did u find that video?

he died. didnt u see that saw? thing

[@alikeremyilmaz]

I watched the crab video a couple hours ago before this one. What a coincidence...

[@metehan365]

Kirby has a dimension inside himself,all people who sucked by kirby are in that dimension

[@roguecactus7]

[@marsbro3302]

Yes, but that's not exactly real though. Kyle is only going off of what is real or is testable.

[@D.A.R.C.I.]

[@Ghorda9]

worm holes are theoretically possible

[@LmaoEnazOld]

Can we get a video on how much power it takes to run the Master Chief's suit shields in the Halo games?

[@Nerdist]

Cool idea! -- KH

[@busterbackster1]

EnazAF I think it's been done before but I would love to see this channel do it

[@ruyman90]

Enough energy so an electromagnetic shield stops bullets and plasma. That is going to be a lot.

[@brucemaximus3797]

@ryuman The shield is plasma based so perhaps not as much as you'd first assume. Still a hefty chunk of power, though.

[@chowderstevens9375]

What happens if the flash and reverse flash run towards each other and do a high five?

It would probably destroy the planet -- KH

[@rhodrage]

It would be the coolest high 5 ever

They did a video a while back on The Flash's "Infinite Mass Punch" which would probably answer your same question rather appropriately.

[@MichaelSkinner-e9j]

If you have a person with medical problems, it’s a different thing entirely. It’s like someone taking you and transferring your image into clay, like Rocky Balboa in that brisk commercial

[@ethanpearl9011]

If any of you remember the Kirby show you can back me up on this. Inside Kirby is space, like it looks like that. There was one episode where Dedede gets sucked up and we see what's inside Kirby. I think the way he sucks things up is just the vacuum of space, but inside him.

[@FUTURISTICBLADE]

If Kirby can infinitely inhale, would he be considered a portable black hole 🤔.

[@TheWizKid95]

That doesn't equate to indefinite mass, so technically not a black hole.

[@biohazard724]

Jesus Otero No but canonically he is a portable wormhole. He doesn't have a stomach but can continously eat because when he swallows his target they're sent to a different planet

[@Krishnath.Dragon]

Kirby is an Eldritch Abomination, physics doesn't equate for him/it.

[@FUTURISTICBLADE]

biohazard724 That's what I meant to say 😎....because science!

[@BlueBD]

not planet. I think its just space. Everything he eats is sent to some pocket dimension. which is why he can Recollect anything he "Ate" at will.

[@SheosMan117]

Yeah, Imaginary Axis has covered this topic somewhat. Kirby has a pocket universe for a stomach, and that might be how he inhales. Also, keep in mind there's Hypernova Kirby, with even greater suck power.

[@Nerdist]

Sure, but that dimension would have to be like empty space, and then all the fluid dynamics I talked about kicks in. -- KH

[@alexandresilva3427]

How different would it be from the scenario you proposed?

[@birdmn9930]

SheosMan117 cheese to die for

[@adrianh.5038]

If Kirby's stomach is a black hole, it has absolutely _zero_ air pressure. That would mean his inhale force would be like if a black hole was sucking through a pink marshmallow-shaped straw. And because the black hole's pressure will _never_ balance with the pressure of the atmosphere, or be affected by inhaling anything, Kirby would be able to suck up _absolutlely _*_anything._* However, this is how he's like originally, so the Hypernova ability must make his stomach a supermassive black hole or something! Sorry for the long response. :P

Took a big sip of coffee just a second before the dead Captain Falcons comment. I made a mess.

[@minibini6055]

Nerdist could you make a video about how does ben 10 transform into different aliens

[@cthulahoopisntreal]

@@minibini6055 I know this is old buuut I just found this guy and am binging sporadically. Pretty sure the Omnitrix is explained as a genome sequencing and mutating device, so it literally changes him at the genetic level, using a cataloging system similar to CRISPR to "replace and repair" anything that "isn't supposed to be there".

[@cthulahoopisntreal]

Annnd then it would jump start evolution, to act upon whatever was replaced. This is where the mutating part comes in. Most likely using particles small enough to alter your DNA, it begins to barrage Ben with them, which could certainly cause the green glow you see, and essentially putting thousands of years of evolution into a few seconds. So when he goes back to "Normal", he theoretically isn't the same human genetically that he was before. What's interesting is this would almost certainly cause some negative effects, with the possibility for a genetic defect almost doubling with each change.

[@Mt.Berry-o7]

Haaris Siddique with the omnitrix, duh

[@daisy4348]

Changing his genetics?

[@derpmanaveragegamer7791]

the omnitrix basically fuses his dna with the alien species that he wants to change into, then it instantaniously activates the new genes thus transforming him. and the dna is kept inside the omnitrix, as asmuth puts it, like a noahs ark of aliens.

[@nerd_patriot_disciple]

Moon the DNA being injectioned into him by the omnitrix causes his cells into a hyper replication mode thus creating the new mass perhaps

So if I had a balloon with nothing inside (vacuum) and I popped it, would the air rush onto that space at the speed of sound, making a sonic boom?

[@dootdoot3888]

I think I remember reading something about kirby's Succ power. His Succ isn't just him succing in, it's him opening up a portal to a pocket dimension

[@Spiderlanky]

Question!! How much energy would it take for Eren to transform into a Titan in Attack on Titan? Good thought since season 2 is due out soon

[@TobytheNinja]

Lanky I would be interested to see Kyle do this as a video. It sounds similar to something The Game Theorists did for mass conservation in Pokémon evolutions

[@Kilanna]

Reminds me of the Byford Dolphin accident of 1983. An accidental Decompression from 9 ATM to 1 ATM led to the death of 4 divers, with one of the diver's bodies being forced through a 24 in (60 cm) diameter opening instantaneously.

[@danielb1952]

[@paigem.7165]

...this actually helped me be more prepared for my physics exam. thank you

[@darkspike7543]

You talked about smash a lot and in the game Kirby inhales human or humanoid characters Like Mario Marth Roy Cloud Captain Falcon Also big characters like Dedede Bowser and Donkey Kong So wouldn't a human be nothing to him?

[@themustachioedfish5988]

But in smash Olimar is over half of Mario's height. So is Kirby. Olimar is smaller than a battery in Pikmin, might I add. It's pretty safe to say that smash is non-canon.

[@nathanhall9345]

Great episode! Super Smash Bros. is very well balanced. Sure, Kirby has the absurdly powerful down-B, and his multiple jumps allow him to float over everything and recover from being sent flying. But he's so light that it's incredibly easy for opponents to land one strong attack and insta-kill him. So I don't feel guilty about spamming. :D

[@emiljensen8549]

If he Can inhale Mario Why would he not be able to inhale a human?

[@Nerdist]

That's a game, this is SERIOUS IMPORTANT WORK -- KH

[@emiljensen8549]

[@krisgonynor689]

Kyle, way off subject here but i had this crazy thought about the new NASA warp drives that are in development. I think that one large problem would be that by creating a "warp bubble" around the ship, you would be creating a pocket universe that would contain all the heat that the ship was generating - from the power plant and the warp drive itself as well as the crew and the rest of the equipment. Would you end cooking the crew and ship? Or would you have to drop out of warp when things get toasty? Because science?

[@Cynicalease]

I believe Kirby actually houses an alternate dimension inside his own body; the choke point might actually be an event horizon he can open and close at whim. So... yeah, check those physics.

[@ydevices3112]

Kyle I personally think that you should totally do the age old question. What is the strongest element Air, Water, Fire, Earth, Lightning or ice in rank from strongest to weakest obviously this means excluding light, shadow and pure energy itself as they are very different. I would really appreciate it If you make this video due to the fact I just re-watched the avatar series and this question has been really racking my brain. Thank you please Also to be noted I do not mean in an avatar sense I mean pure science just the science of which element is strongest and most useful

[@ItsSoDane]

I love the Kirby games so much. They are my guilty pleasure.

[@chrisv4496]

From what I understand about Kirby, he has an entire universe inside of him, so I'm not sure normal scientific measures would be enough to quantify what's going on there.

[@calvindibartolo2686]

My question is at that pressure differential, even a normal size Kirby (since he's stretchy) sucking in air, could he force you into his mouth similar to that crab in the pipe? or would Kirby just deflate?

[@rainynight02]

Excellent answer! however, Kirby doesn't use his lungs to pull people in I thought. He holds a separate dimension within his belly, and a force from that, is what draws people in. Or so I thought.

[@LaMugre]

Canonically Kirby's stomach is a portal to another dimension with a vacuum. I feel like this changes everything in this video.

[@Nerdist]

It's more or less the same. The pressure difference between 15psi and 0.03psi, and 15psi and 0 psi, still leads to choked flow. In fact, that's what choked flow means -- lowering the "downstream" pressure won't increase the mass flow rate! -- KH

[@2vectors708]

my high school physics teacher tried to explain to me how a balloon stayed inflated because of the molecules of air hitting the inside, and deflated because of those molecules losing energy over time, i never understood this because if that were the case wouldn't you just need to add more energy to the molecules inside the balloon? simply hitting the closed balloon should add energy to the molecular system of pressure inside shouldn't it? eh, just a tangent, love the videos keep up the science!
