Nerd Reacts to Animation vs Physics

Many!

About the magnets, you're correct that the force is equally strong before and after. But force acts as an acceleration, meaning it's depending on time. And since the rocket's velocity is higher after than before, the time spent is lower. In other terms, the magnetic force is lowering quicker than it increased, thus the deceleration is smaller than the acceleration. Of course you can cut the magnetic field for better performance, but that's not a requirement. That's how a Gauss cannon works.

The hat isn’t meant to create thrust, it’s meant to create dramatic flare.

"how is that hat creating thrust with no atmosphere" i like how thats what he decides to nitpick and not "how is he getting that close to a star and not getting absolutely disintegrated"

12:40 stars also have atmospheres. It's called the corona and it's a lot denser than earth's atmosphere

Please do "Animation vs Math" Its so good aswell. Loved the reaction, as always.

The solar winds are bouncing off the hat, so propulsion lol

Um actually, for the Lorentz factor, velocity is the abscissa... The factor is close to 1 for anything below 50% of c, but tends to infinity at extremely high speed approaching c. Meaning space and time are approximately normal for us, but near c time is extremely dilated: the faster you move through space the slower you move through time.

This is a great video, but Animation vs. Math is better. A solid masterpiece. Check that one out, if you could.

You're forgetting that he's a stickman. He doesn't have the same mass as a human.

Rocket riding cowboy is a reference to "Dr. Strangelove".....(I think) old movie about the A bomb

That was equal parts brilliant and dangerous..... I'm off to rabbit hole. I may be some time.

Animation vs Math next!!

There is a team, but only the animators (as well as the composer and sound designers and a few others). All of the story for this as well as Animation VS Math (which you sadly failed to get to thus far BTW) is done by a nerdy lead animator called Terkoiz. And there are a few mistakes in the video but the non-theoretical phenomena seem mostly accurate

Technically a star does have an atmosphere; the corona. Our sun’s corona is somehow hotter than the surface, but in this animation universe that stick figure is literally named “The Second Coming” so if anyone could make a cowboy hat be the difference between falling into a star and going around it; it’s them.

I choose to believe that the stickman is playing by animation rules, and simply trying to understand the rules of physics. He sees a physical force, looks at the way it works in a vacuum, and then uses it from that point on only when it befits him. Like, when he’s falling into the black hole; he doesn’t get ripped apart, because he doesn’t have any pieces; he is one entity, and that is all he is. But you know what can’t get ripped apart? A Plank Length sized animation, that’s what. So he gets smaller— it’s not like he needs to be any given size, anyways.

The previous vid from Alan's channel was Animation vs. Physics. Would be dope if he dives into every type of science like geography, chemistry, or computer science.

It absolutely is a series. Animation vs Education

i love this
