Physicist Reacts To One-Punch Man Breaking Physics

it will spray through those it's okay no one  is going to care if your hair fell out from working out too hard yes they will Aria my hair  is all I have you still have to do the episode fine dear viewers I know this may  come as a shock to many of you but I like one punch man I think it's a great satire  that is stylish funny and when it is fantastically animated and while I wait for the next animated  series to come out I've been reading the manga and it turns out that the last few chapters of 

the manga are so legitimately fun and cool and sciencey that today we are dedicating an entire  episode to sciencing them so consider this wow this is pretty recent three months ago oh hell  yeah it was a spoiler warning for OPM chapters once again 171 and 172. I will give you until we  reach the projection Hippodrome to go down into the comments and read those chapters okay we're  off to the hippo drill the hippo it's an old word that means I'm I don't have any hair anymore I'm  losing my leav

e me alone now entering not only are the new one punch Man chapter so sciencey there  are so many scientific examples is in that first room where they have that big fight one punch man  is such a good shot they're in so what I'm gonna do today is something a little different I'm Gonna  Be Your anime annotator we're gonna go chapter by chapter panel by panel and stop wherever we can I  see moving like that learn something interesting or calculate something fun yeah I don't read the  Manga either

so I'm going to be spoiled great stop looking at my head we begin at the beginning  of chapter 170 hero Hunter gauru now has the power of absolute evil after being touched by God pretty  metal and right on the first few pages here we get some of the first science child Emperor's  hair is falling out why well it's now stated that garu emits Cosmic radiation being so evily  evil now Cosmic radiation is radiation from the cosmos from stars and other sources up there and  it consists of atomic nucle

i subatomic particles high energy photons and this can irradiate you  normally the Earth protects you from that effect with its magnetosphere and atmosphere but if Garo  was standing right next to you slamming you with Cosmic radiations coming out at nearly the speed  of light like the sun does then it absolutely could hit you with something like acute radiation  poisoning which would lead to your hair falling out as high that's all exactly true turnover rate  cells like the follicles in your he

ad started to die off and a few pages later we see that genos  states that he has some resistance to radiation and that's true a less biological thing would be  more immune to that kind of thing 100 that that would be true then bam on page 19 blast hits Garo  with a gravity knuckle now I don't know if blast is changing the mass of his hand but he could be  emitting something like gravitons the theorized carriers of gravitational force if this is the  case he could make the effective gravitationa

l pull of his fist like the surface gravity of a  neutron star or something an accelerate garu's face into his fist at Extreme Velocity he states  that he can manipulate the reality of the kind Cosmo so uh why not blast then attend attempts to  contain garu in another dimension which opens and then disappears completely and this is actually  how an alternate Dimension would have to look all right that bit you can ignore that bit that's  not true at all and like alternate dimension look there's l

ots of wacky stuff in theoretical  physics but most sort of you know the consensus even in theoretical physics on Alternate  you know extra dimensions are not like that they're more like you know there's just an extra  spatial Dimension that our brain can't perceive or they're very small and warped up and crunched  together so they're so small we don't see them not what he just said completely invisible since  we already have three dimensions of space a facial Dimension would have to be at right

angles possible directions orthogonal to up down left  right front and back simultaneously now if you can't really imagine an extra space in all  possible spaces don't worry no human no so you when you hear four-dimensional space-time  three spatial Dimensions one temporal Dimension the dimension of time right he's saying for  the fourth spatial Dimension if there was a fourth spatial Dimension and he's true about  saying you know orthogonal that just means like perpendicular right angles to yo

u know the corners  garu's encounters with a nuclear fission punch presumably the strength of his attack is splitting  atoms which releases an edible amount of energy as mass lost in the splitting is translated according  to E equals m c squared material like your opponent's face is not made up of nuclear fissile  material however so this would not actually lead to something like an atomic bomb on the end of  your fist but it's a fun idea also you should come check out calvpn my post Quantum VPN

the beta is  out boys come check it out it's uh literally the first postcon VPN consumers can use so come check  it out it's much quicker than the alpha and we're working on the Mac version and the Linux it's just  on windows currently but yeah come check it out I don't think it makes a lot of sense uh uh  a nuclear efficient punch in a sense it could right because if you punch someone hard enough you  could actually generate nuclear fusion which might sound weird but you know what's happening

in the  court of the sun is basically you know it's just a lot of it's a very extreme environment of uh you  know it's very hot very dense a lot of pressure so much so that you know you you basically fuse  atoms together uh and helium uh hydrogen sorry is all around the place so you know if you were  able to punch someone even in our atmosphere hard enough you could actually uh create nuclear  fusion so you actually could generate nuclear fusion with a hard enough punch it's just like  how I've

told you guys right if you were to crush the planet down into the size of a peanut you  would create a black hole uh and you know you could in similar ways also undergo nuclear fusion  with a hard enough anything right punch anything um so at nuclear efficient is very similar  though it would be a little bit different um anyway one and the energy Unleashed worries  blast enough that he decides to Vector it to another part of the solar system now if he's  to Vector it what worried it's probably a

planet destroying blast and therefore it would  have 2 times 10 to the 32 joules at least to overcome the gravitational binding energy of  wow that really are gone deep in physics Earth but more on that later did attack in the next  panel shows that it left a hole in the Stars totally impossible because even if the attack was  traveling at the speed of light it would take at least four years or so to reach Alpha Centauri  the closest star to our sun but hey it's a sick looking panel isn't it no

w moments later saitama  and garu are on iO now this is a trip that would take at least 37 minutes in real time if they're  moving average so I say this is probably where they've broken so in reality the pair here would  be tumbling for more like days or weeks or months but the next page makes up for it right here  with a beautiful panel that's reminiscent of a very real wow that's so cool man look at this I  can't wait to see this in the series if they ever get this one's view of IO and Jupiter

January  1st 2001. it's really pretty confirmed one pen one punch man uh you know what would you call it  animator uh author he is a fan of astrophysics now it's time to get serious manga dorks are so hype  on the most recent chapters because we finally see more of saitama's serious moves like this Insanity  the serious table flip this is one of those things that's basically impossible to calculate without  simpler assumptions so what I'm going to do is calculate the energy required to physical

ly lift  the crust of IO far into space we don't know the exact composition of IO but we do know that it  has a dense silicate crust of around 50 kilometers deep with an average density of three and a half  grams per cubic centimeter using some sphere geometry we estimate the mass of the crust and  we multiply that by the surface gravity and maybe io's radius for some suitable distance the energy  that we get is the same energy it would take to turn all of Earth's crust into boiling molten  swag

dang saitama then uses the orbital debris to show his incredible speed in an absolutely  I'm confused how he's doing this what's going on incredible looking panel it looks so good I almost  forgot about what my hair looks like right now but the most ridiculous displays of power I've  seen in a long time come in the next chapter almost the fight between God garu and a now  naked OPM continues in the next chapter but it's not going to last long because as you can  see saitama's Power is increasin

g exponentially a comic that actually puts exponential lines in  some oh it's so cool to me this guy's so funny man actually learn something about math and about  saitama from this graph I think so here I present to you some lines the red one is linear its slope  increases scalar in this case 50. the green line is exponential it has some base value in this case  too and it increases its y value or coordinates according to x which is the base value raised  to an exponent hence exponential now on

these Pages these lines do indeed look exponential  but to make sure and to learn something about opm's power levels I'm going to plot them exactly  and find the real equation serious series move me assuming each line here represents one  unit I looked at all the units that looked exact I didn't want to estimate too much and put  those unit sets into Wolfram Alpha for an actual exponential equation this guy's too good into a  line it turns out that both saitama and garu have a similar growth con

stant almost exactly the same  but OPM has a higher initial power value in fact four times higher and this kind of makes sense  in the context of the manga right both saitama and garu can increase their power very quickly but  OPM has a lot more to draw upon and therefore when the exponential nature of this growth takes over  he will quickly outpace this hero Hunter it's like having more money in your savings account before  it starts being compounded by interest and so I declare these equations

Canon and I guess any of  you power scaling dweebizoids could use these to pit saitama against any character of your choice  I know you like doing that on Reddit what is all this power used for well maybe the most ridiculous  display of strength I've ever seen in this meeting serious sneeze it blows away the surface sneezed  and get all the way down to the metallic hydrogen and maybe Rocky core they don't actually know it's  at the core of Jupiter we've talked about this before it could be some

weird stuff some people  speculated a long time ago there could even be a Diamond core down there but look we're kind of  confident now we know that it is what he's saying but we still don't know for sure insane because  excluding the mass of the Sun Jupiter makes up the majority of the mass of the solar system so  doing similar and I must say extremely simplistic destination the energy required to do something  like this will you say maybe half of Jupiter's mass it looks like minus the court w

hich we still  see and see how much we take to lift all that mass up out of Jupiter's enormous gravity well and  in doing that we get 1 000 billion yada Jewels the same energy you would need to death star the  Earth and send all its pieces off to mathematical Infinity at the edge of the universe we're not  even Obi-Wan because that's what happened to them and you could do that ten thousand times over I  agree gone this is insane next the space God Demon bullied guy spots Earth from IO with his e

yeballs  shut up it's impressive with even more impressive than you think because when the distance Earth  is actually hundreds of millions of miles away so y'all must have some kind of unspoken power  here which is like internal eye magnification Powers at least hundreds of times going on what  amateur astronomers have to use in their backyards to see the moons of Jupiter from where they are  how are they uses some hyperspace teleportation nonsense to get back to Earth thinking he left  saitama

back in the Jovian system nope how did it says well now here's the science I know you've  been waiting for if you read these chapters and uh space one that's how we did it space work now  in theory yes farting in space can Propel you around all rocket science is he's throwing Mass  quickly in the opposite direction as you want to go farts have mass and if you fart quickly it will  provide enough of a momentum change a force on you to move you around and in fact whoever wrote  this is genius spa

cecraft it's used Compressed Gas to change the orientations and move them  around Einstein reincarnated however because saitama is leaving IO which has some surface  Rapids escaping it very quickly he has to have a tremendous force on his body and farts don't  have a lot of mass almost no mess in fact and so using the ideal rocket equation and the mass of  cyclone which I have here the mass of an average part which of course I always have by hand if I  need an escape velocity of iron which I wro

te in the margin for the next person to pick up this  book defined this Fork would have to come out of his butt at six times faster than the speed  of light it's a faster than light fart okay it's completely impossible but what do I know I can't  run 10 kilometers a day every day and do squats defeat he decides each one punch man his ultimate  move intense radiation that's great the same thing that happens inside OPM and again I have to  give it to one emiratier antiparticles far broke uh causal

ity it's in fact contained in  and created by cosmic rays of course if both their bodies that means he's far would have  created uh a black hole a sizable black hole before they even fought reversal of causality  totally unavoidable now I know this iconic can fart faster than light but everything else  in the universe follows the speed limit and so it demands that events only proceed forwards in  time and never backwards but one punch man getting so strong that he's now technically zero punch  m

an it's so damn cool I think the universe will next slide Justice once one punch man in these  chapters in particular that's awesome principles they really went hard on the science there inside  of the freaking explosion order magnitude larger than the large nuclear explosion in history but  in this case the energy transport saitama back in time when he forms a punch the past defunagaru  before that's so cool I'm I'm serious I reckon this guy might have uh taken some inspiration from  the physic

s video I made two years ago I hope and it went all right how can we make this even more  extreme we're gonna have to try and actually use some Physics here awesome video Carl Hill is the  man he's goaded all right that was a great video
