Hey Kyle, I have some questions. Given that you made a Video about Kratos' Axe, you probably know about Jörmungandr, the Midgard Serpent. According to the myth, Jörmungandr was so huge, he could wrap his body around the whole world. So, keeping in mind that there are probably some continents in the way of wrapping around the world in a straight line, how long would he really be? From that, how big would he be, taking the propotions of aquatic living snakes as reference? Like, how big would be the size of his head? Would a body that size even be possible, like either supported or destroyed according to physics? How big could Jörmungandr become within the realm physical reality? Knowing that reptiles like crocodiles can live up to one year without eating after a big meal, how much food would Jörmungandr need to stay alive, what would he eat, how long could he survive, or how much time can pass, before he needs to eat again, and would it be noticeable that the great serpent awoke once more by us surface dwellers? And, taking aquatic living creatures like sea snakes or whales as reference, who can hold their breath for quite some time while diving, how long could he hold his breath with a body that big, with both mythological size and realistic size, before he has to come to the surface again? Also, since sea snakes have very fast working venom to prevent bitten prey from escaping, how potent would Jörmungandrs venom be, if being impaled by his fangs doesn't kill you outright? And how toxic, what properties, maybe even what known substance could it be, would that venom be, if just the poisonous breath of the Midgard Serpent was able to kill Thor?

[@Marqan]

The thing with pain is that it's only a negative experience, because we perceive it as danger. Dissociating pain from danger severely reduces suffering, even in regular humans. The opposite is also true: perceived danger can cause real suffering and real pain. Since Logan can just heal everything, he doesn't have to associate pain with danger, so I think it's possible for him to kind of rewire his brain. And then pain will be more like a warning sign, rather than a red alert.

@@Shigellosis translation: imagine getting too excited with your new super skeleton, jumping off roofs resulting in a deep fracture in the adamantium coating which your body can't fix. My answer: squirrels. They can survive their terminal velocity therefore if adamantium can handle the stress it's been shown to handle you won't take fall damage.

[@deplorablekunt]

Shigellosis I figure that they aren’t “coated,” they have the adamantium woven into the cellular, even molecular, structure of this bones entirely, allowing his bodily systems to repair any damage were it to occur, and allow his bone marrow to continue to produce blood cells. Regarding squirrels, their minute mass doesn’t allow for them to gain the momentum to damage the bones they have which are strong relative to their weight. I mean, some can glide on their side-flaps. Haha

[@MiceAndMinecraft]

Scientists have actually identified a gene that gives the humans who carry it extra dense bones that are significantly harder to break. My family appears to have it, possibly on both sides, and in living memory I'm the ONLY person in my family to have managed to break any. This was through great dint of effort, and only the very tiniest distal phalanges in toes and a finger. That is despite a lifetime of slightly extreme sports, accidents and hard physical jobs. It took the entire weight of a warm blood colt at high speed to even fracture my fingertip. Getting smashed through a solid post and rail fence, brand new and shattering the upright that was 6"x6", did soft tissue damage but didn't break a thing. This was despite my tibia literally being exposed from the impact. The doctors x-rayed me twice because they couldn't believe it wasn't broken. Th specialist called in to double check just stared at the x-rays, stared at much leg, shook his head in disbelief and said " you must have VERY strong bones". I did give me more muscle mass and strength. I trained as a farrier (blacksmith) & could literally lift and carry an anvil with no problem. Unfortunately despite almost unbreakable bones, my nervous system & immune system are not likewise superpowered, and are extremely faulty. The world is safe from a potential super villain. 👍

And some creatures like humming birds are protected, up to a certain point, from some impact shock. I thick our trouble began when the skull fuses. It's almost like if, when injured it should expand and allow the brain to heal, up to a certain point. But I see why this is tough to resolve. The skull protects our brain but it can hinder. Maybe we need weird cybernetic coverings lol. I don't know. Then we will have to delve how far can a human be "machined." and still be human. Though Data seems to do well as an artificial sentient. So we may have to be fine with " Mostly machine sentience." But I saw this creepy thing where they questioned things like implanted memories. In a sense they are real mental experiences to the mind but the traveler never physically went any wheres. A bit better then a lucid dream someone can recall as many of those end up in long term memory. Well I'm no expert. I watch and read to much weird stuff lol.

@@stewartsherwood7769 It's not just the skin, if the bones are much stronger and allows you to have much more mass, it also means they're going to apply much more pressure on the surrounding flesh whenever a movement or action is made, if you take a step and the pressure on your leg bone is enough to destroy your kneecap, tear your ligament, rip trough your flesh and pierce trough your skin, you'd be hard-pressed (pun very intended) to find anyone wanting this.

[@unfriendlyjack4223]

Sébastien Paquin That seems to be a constant when talking about ways to improve the human body. If you make the bones stronger, you will need to improve almost everything else in the body at the same time, or the person who is testing these improvements will severely disabled for the rest of their lives. But if you improve everything at once, the human body would most likely die under such strains.

[@sebastienpaquin4586]

Though if it was indeed produced by evolution, we can assume the structural integrity of the surrounding biological architecture would have grown in strength and resistance in conjunction with the metallic bones.

[@joelproko]

A metal skeleton would be a terrible idea, if it even worked at all: - The body would need a way to reabsorb parts of the metal, otherwise only the outside of the bone could grow, leaving you with the same inner diameter you had when you were an embryo/toddler/whenever your body first started depositing metal, which would leave you with not enough blood production. - You could not just bend something back without surgery so invasive it would be rarely worth it. You could *not* just grab a bent limb and bend it back, because your flesh around the bent metal, in both/all the places you're grabbing it, would get squished and/or cut all the way to the bone way before the metal would even consider bending. Even if you tried to bend it with magnetic fields to avoid touching and thus squishing, the magnetic field strengths involved would heavily impede your blood flow, to say nothing of other effects on the rest of your body. - There's another problem with bending something back: Have you ever tried to bend and then straighten a thick (at least 0.5mm^2) solid wire (as opposed to a wire made of several thin filaments)? It's very hard to avoid ending up with crinkles around where the bend was, especially if you're only grabbing where you originally grabbed to bend it. - A lot of illnesses would be way harder to detect, diagnose and treat, especially around the brain. Good luck getting a CT scan or an MRI of the brain when it's encased in solid metal. Same with the interior of bones. Good luck detecting that tumor, or prion desease, or leukemia. - Also, good luck getting a heart transplant or doing any surgery that requires opening the ribcage. You now need metal cutting tools, except you don't want sparks and hot tiny metal shards (not just from the bone, but also from the cutting tool) spraying over the inside of the patients body. And when you're done, you need to reattach the cut off parts, probably by drilling holes and connecting them with bridges and screws - forever, because the body has no reason to know how to grow cut metal bone back together.

[@joelproko]

@Brimstone What are you referring to with "this"? - First point: Yeah, maybe, but if we're under the assumption that it would be something like a treatment for, say, soldiers, evolution wouldn't play a role in any of this. - Second and third point: Evolution would probably not touch this, since bending/breaking a bone would be too rare. - Fourth and fifth point: With modern medicine being so recent, evolution *definitely* wouldn't make any difference.

[@theobserver493]

Carbon fiber is probably a better choice: lightweight (possibly lighter than our skeletons) , not as good of a conductor as most metals, and easy to cut, but really strong.

[@villalba874]

I completely agree with you...except that the assumption here is, what if humans have evolved with a metal skelleton...scratch that, all vertebrates...It would be normal to think that all other biological components evolved alongside it to compensate.

[@joelproko]

@@villalba874 I might be completely off, but wasn't the assumption an optional medical procedure or genie wish or whatever other cause for someone to get superpowers?

[@gclar014]

​ I take issue with this video considering his other superpower videos were not under the assumption that a human evolved to have that power. With flight, evolution would take care of all the issues with oxygen deprivation, larger lung capacity like a whales, extreme cold, a down feathery plumage would help, and so on. I also take issue with the fact that he states that your muscles could grow to gross proportions because your skeletal structure is stronger and could hold more mass. Your muscles would HAVE to grow stronger to be able to MOVE all that mass your bones have gained. Sure metal is stronger but most metals are more dense than bone for the same relative strength. Finally, nutrients, how well would nutrients flow across a metal, crystalline atomic structure, I'm going to guess, not very well. Just some thoughts that came to mind while watching and you seemed like minded.

7:20 while I will admit that you could technically fall from higher, I am not sure you could actually fall from that much higher. While bone fractures are an obvious injury, they are not generally lethal. With all the squishy bits of your body still the same, you will still risk serious internal injury from similar falls as with a regular skeleton. For example in case of traumatic brain injuries, having sturdier bones will do nothing to prevent them. Additionally while the bones may not snapp, the fall's energy still needs to go somewhere. If the metal skeleton is flexing on impact to slow down the fall, the resulting tension could become problematic, if on the other hand the metal is not that flexible the shock will be much more severe for the rest of the body. Without knowing the excat properties of the metal used it is hard to tell whether this might be a problem, but I can definitly see reasons why having a metal skeleton would not be all that great.

@@nachtelfirokese88, the weight isn't the problem, it's the flexibility of the skeleton in question. It takes a lot more force to flex metal than our bone structure, which means the flesh between the impact and the bones will be compressed more, which means damaged more, which means more bruises. Logan gets around this thanks to his healing factor being able to easily compensate for this, but unless you're otherwise born with the ability already built in to compensate for it, you will see bruising for quite some time.

Imagine having a steel skeleton, getting in a car crash, and instead of breaking your bones they just bend.

The doctors took a calcium carbonate mesh and fused it with many of my bones. The mesh allowed new bone to grow over it and fuse to it. It took two years and multiple surgeries to complete but i did eventually make a complete recovery. The up side to this procedure was that it could help people recover from some pretty catastrophic injuries. Another upside is that my bones are now several times stronger than they were before my acident. I have not had a broken bone since despite two accidents that should have broken a few.
