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?

The trauma of the surgical application is exactly why it was performed on Logan in the first place; his healing factor allowed him to survive the surgery when it would have killed anyone else.

As in 'sitting down, planning, and then going to discredit Science'. Some are silly, yes, and some want to just make money, but some want something else.

[@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.

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.

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.

Could Wolverine actually survive the injection of molten adamantium as shown in the movie, just with his regeneration factor? Wouldn't he evaporate at those temps?

[@Mystdrago27]

not necessarily sublimation of flesh would require much higher temps, but DNA damage because of heat would probably have either permanently made him a cripple as the cells of ligaments would have been permanently destroyed, or have simply made him into another dead pool where his regen gives him super cancer

@@wyattguilliams9472 Yes, but by then he already had the adamantium skeleton, which protected parts of him and he could regenerate from those.

@@Mystdrago27 I didn't look up the melting point of adamantium, so I'm genuinely surprised. One would think, molten metal injected in the body,(especially adamantium) would be hot enough to evaporate someone.(not contesting your answer, since, as mentioned, I didn't look up either temps. I was just curious)

Telekinesis isn´t physically possible. It violates the most fundamental laws of physics. But biggest problem would be energy because you must use some energy to move something. Basically if telekinesis would be possible you couldn´t throw cars or move continents.

[@seanomygod]

Also nobody ever thinks about how every time Logan pops his claws it’s like getting stabbed through the hand because the claws cut their way out every time. It’s Only because of the sharpness off the claws providing a clean cut and Logan’s healing factor that he doesn’t have constant open wounds on his fists.

The only problem is that you can't evolve a steel skeleton because steel isn't natural and to turn iron into steel currently requires very high temperatures.

[@seansookdeo666]

Would having a skeleton made of metal/steel affect your body temperature in any way?

[@bencowles2105]

Nice video. I am new to your channel hope to see more. One thing though. Wolverines mutant power is not his skeliton that is something that was done to him. His mutant power is rapid regenerationand super healing. On another note several years ago i was in a bad accident. Too close to an ied when it went off. The blast wave was bone shatering literally. 80 percent of my bones were shattered. I voluntered for new procedure that was under developement other wise i was looking at spending the rest of my life severely crippled. 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. I hope one day this medical procedure is more widely available it made a difference in my life. Granted it is not an adamantium skeleton and i dont have super healing abilities but i can handle a lot more stress to my bones than anyone else i know. Keep up the great videos.

the metal friction on each other would potentially be an issue, as it may cause small shards of metal to become embedded in the surrounding tissue which would be painful

[@tengbeng9756]

It's probably already been mentioned and I'm not sure what the comics say but in the movie Logan it's stated that adamantium is quite poisonous and that Logan was selected because his healing factor could counteract the effects of it long-term. In the film, because he was aging, his healing power wasn't as good and couldn't handle the slow build-up of adamantium poisoning. In a normal person, you'd probably last days. So the main advantage of a bone skeleton is that it tends not to poison you to death quickly.

[@VicolGrigore]

Unless you want to say good-bye to Magnetic Resonance Imaging, that helps in diagnosis of thousands upon thousands of patients every year, I would still think Adamantium bones are not a good idea. From a biological standpoint, such a body will require a constant influx of Adamantium to sustain the bone structure, because as you know, bones are made of living cells "knitted" together on an inorganic structure (mostly porous to take off some weight). All these bon cells are formed (from osteoblast) and destroyed (by osteoclasts) in order to assure that bones will remain healthy as long as possible (won't go down the physiological and pathological rabbit-hole on this topic, it's quite fascinating and very intricate). Having Adamantium instead of Calcium (which is easily acquirable through food), will pose some limitations. Either Adamantium will need to be as abundant and as absorbable by human body as other minerals, or there will need to be a special organ or "hematological system" to be able to detain all these scarce Adamantium mineral (like there is for Iron, Ferritin protein that stores iron, because human guts have a soft-limit for it's absorption, the same is true for other minerals). Now, who knows how this hypothetical mineral might interfere with other organs function or how it will crystallise in organs such as brain (like Wilson's disease, excessive cooper build-up in body), kidney or even blood vessels. Now to answer to your awesome video title "Do You Want an Adamantium Skeleton?" It's a no for me, because human body has one major flaw now. It hasn't adapted fast enough to changes in Modern World. Love your videos. Cya!

[@carlazanatta1870]

Very nice analysis. I would also argue that you would not be able to endure falling from a greater height or something like that if the rest of your body continued to be made from the same material. Other parts such as internal organs would still be a restriction. Simply put, you would just be wasting material and carrying more weight since the extra resistance wouldn't keep you from dying. What I believe evolution would lead to in this case is an actually lighter bone structure since the greater strength of the steel would allow a lower overall weight with the same resistance when compared with typical bone material which would optimize the structural efficiency of the body. I think I would prefer a lighter body over a more resistance one as well. I would probably be able to move faster and would require less energy to live.

[@dynamicworlds1]

Yeah, and frankly, without wolverine's regeneration, making our bones stronger means little because of how much weaker the rest of our bodies are than bone to begin with. I'd take the same strength for less weight so moving would feel like it did when I was younger, but short of that, come back when you have indestructible cartledge.

5:16 Actually my question is: How can I live with Adamatium's skeleton without dying by poisoning? (I assume that my body cannot metabolize all that metal, or co-exist with it for long) Or how to deal with the weight? Does Logan/Wolverine can swim? 🤔

[@nickaschenbecker9882]

1. You can't especially since adamantium is mildly radioactive. 2. Your joints would destroy themselves in days if not hours. 3. Wolverine's only fear is deep water. At a sparse 5' 3" tall he weighs around 500 lbs. and his bones are dense enough that his body's natural buoyancy is nullified. He can heal infinitely but in a complete lack of oxygen his cells (which resperate independently, even when he's been decapitated, it's wild) would eventually die off and so would he. And then he'd be Dead Like Bucky. Although I guess he already is dead like Bucky... He'd be dead like Uncle Ben.

[@hollyhartwick3832]

Adamantium coated bones would actually be a really bad idea. Muscle attachment would be a significant issue. Also, bone marrow is the source of our red blood cells. If all your bones were covered in a solid layer of adamantium, those blood cells couldn’t get out and into your circulatory system. Basically, you wouldn’t be able to move and you’d quickly become anemic and die.
