Physics of Superheroes 4 - The Atom's Blooper

[MrProminance1]

I've always had a problem with the Atom as a super hero because, as awesome as a shrinking super hero would be, the science to it is so... Baffling, in so many ways for so many reasons. Sure, Comics are places where the impossible can happen, a man can fly, rule the seas, dress up as a bat and not look lame etc. but they're still worlds like OURS where these things can happen, a world where something really really improbable can happen. These things defy any logic at all. Matter from a star shr

[jodmackster]

I love this video!!!!!

[gregboyds]

I'm all for people being free to be themselves, but this guy is offensive to viewers in not even making an effort to act like a man. What world does he live in that allows him to act like that??? World of women, maybe?

[Hotmonkeylovin]

@gregboyds Oh hut up you closeted latent homosexual; your homophobic views is you trying to deny who you really are. Stop fighting how you really feel inside and come out the closet.

[ThePopeye90]

damn i wanna meet this dude

[FamilyOfMan1975]

This guy is great. I wish he'd do a tour of colleges. I'd love to sit in on one of his sessions.

[romeomontague052594]

fillet mignon. opignon

[Madcow800]

I wish they still made shows or stories like those comics they have real world concepts mixed with Sci Fi

[TheHck3r]

i probably would not have failed physics if he was my professor...hhmm watching this though makes me wanna try again at physics.

[Gesmehod]

I wonder there actually are fragments of super-dense dwarf stars floating around in space, little ones like that that you wouldn't detect. It could hit the earth like a bullet and drill right through. And would anyone even know?

[jeancolmor]

the only way dum people can retain information

tel them lies that they can associate with there hone and by accident they can remember fact

ok lafter is a good ancor to produce solide state memory but that only my opignon.

[murrangurk]

Does that explain why you can't spell simple words?

Since when does OPINION ever have a G in it????

What the fuck is wrong with schools today?

[Zacharia10F1vE]

@murrangurk that a good one!

[irishgeek7]

@jeancolmor bahahah that's a good one. You were kidding, right? No seriously. You've got to be fucking kidding me.

[FamilyOfMan1975]

@jeancolmor It appears YOU didn't learn anything. Have someone check your spelling next time.

[FamilyOfMan1975]

@jeancolmor It appears you didn't learn anything. Have someone check your spelling next time.

[fullercircle4200]

I got this book for Christmas and LOVE IT so far!!!

[Littlegeeky]

Haha this guy is brilliant ^_^ I like how he did the presentation, rather than bombarding them with facts he added jokes. Well done who ever you are :D

[bagelsandbutter]

If you turn the camera around, you'll find an empty room, and in his hand is a remote that pulls up a laugh track.

[guitarmhm]

"we physics professors are just that strong.." hahaha!

[Kylloen]

Aint there more videos of him!? :)

[mfigzz]

i would LOVE to have this guy as my physics professor!

[preyfan]

totally entertaining and educating

[JohnyEmpathy]

This professor... he... he... is just so tight.... I would love it if he just makes a music video with his clothes he has on right there and is singing and going crazy on Lil' Wayne's "Pill Poppin' Animal"

hahaha

that would be like making him the granddaddy of tightness... haha

I enjoyed him... he should be a comedian... seriously

[TaurusCanser]

Truly awesome. What a great way to expose people to both comics and education.

[katissocute]

This guy is amazing. I can't stop laughing!

[theBoonarmies]

awesome ! : )

[DorkAvenger]

i'm not sure brilliant

[ShardedFire]

god damn i wish i had his class

[flashlightbrown]

Me fucking, too.

[chillout010]

Good stuff, loved it.

[Nightwing22]

this was good. worth watchin

[Ideaboy]

Geek's original meaning is a carnival performer whose act consists of outrageous feats such as biting the heads off live animals...

[Wordymouth]

this dude's awesome

[MarlonOwnsYourCake]

I need to take a physics class, yo.

[rangermatthias]

Cause we physics professors are ... just ... that ... strong!

[bencho8787]

I'd like to have a class with him....that would be funny, hahaha

[krizwatcher]

I'd like to see a video about the Flash, he's my favorite superhero ^_^

[2rafael]

I wish there were more videos from this guy, he's great!

[tamathestoryteller]

my bio teacher told me about this book. Now I really want to read it

[xxRebeccaLouisexx]

This guy is just funny!! Physicist guys are the best!! :)

[sniperguaw]

Why do I get the feeling that this is staged???

[darksack]

What a bunch of losers...

[lordtalon69]

woohoo another tard... i think i'm gonna start "Tarding" people .... and my line will be "you've been tarded"

[maleysnemesis]

5/5.

Also, if there were people sitting on an electron conversing, how would the sound be transmitted from the throat of one person into the ear of the other when there are no air molcules present for a wave to travel through?

:>

[manonfireisburning]

nice one!

[Tony5929]

Very nice I have learn something today. you should make more videos.

[razasharpe]

Great video and great explanation of physics! U Rock! Oh I love book by the way!!

[andbruno]

5/5. Why is this man not my teacher?

[fhmn777]

because he's still a virgin.

[theDangerLover]

Wow, this is actually better then most stand up shows i've seen.

"We physics professors are JUST THAT STRONG."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[spartanator117]

i love this guy

[squooge]

Love his book, but he's better in person - wish he was my professor in college.

[brageritu]

the king, you are a king man

[gwerith]

I wish there were more of these :D

[Flatlegs]

This guy rules, I could watch this kind of thing all day!

[theDangerLover]

Awesome way he ended it. Hahahahaha

[snotraguy]

I love this guy. Hes really good at this

[everlag]

I love his book

[foulplay2]

My physics professor at Oakland University used a few examples from his super hero book just for kicks, the class really enjoyed it.

[ioriyagami]

this vid is hot? LOL. loser.

[SaferSephirothOWAGOD]

nicely done again thankx!! Ω

[kwakhed23]

what an awesome way to set up physics explanations!

5*

[andrebhulse]

Way to go Professor Kakalios, what a great way to explain the density of the matter, this would make a great intro for any teacher that wants to grab the attention of his students. Did you have that book translated to other languages?

[lazzer408]

Holy gay

[jwinebur]

man dis guy is fukkin gay!!!

[ioriyagami]

you hating on this vid too? you must be a lame dude to hate on this vid and his others too. what do you do in life that is better than this guy? he is WAY smarter than you. is that where the jelously comes from?

[MillionSword]

Theres nothing better than being surrouded by an audience of people with the same interests as you laughing at the same nerdy jokes as you lol.

[lalahablah]

I read this guy's book

[XinBiDe]

this guy rocks.

[MikeyVPT]

I just want him to rip his shirt open to reveal Super Physicist!

[DoctorAwesome]

So mating is a reflection of coolness?

This isn't the school yard anymore, you know...

One day all you'll have left is your emotions, and then what'll you do?

[eastcoastin]

Ok let me get intelligent with the geeks... First off, if by referring to "Coolness" you mean mainstream appearance and attitude; then yes mating is a reflection of "coolness." You would not know because, like your friend, obviously you have never "mated" either. But, think back when you tried to talk to girls and they laughed to your face, remember? Ok great, well most girls like most humanity and nature in general are conformists; they want what is ideal or considered the "best-fitted."

[eastcoastin]

Now think about the society we live in, are comicbook geeks equal in social attractiveness as an NFL Quarterback? In nature you and all the geeks in the world would not survive according to survival of the fittest. But, fortunately just like you got bullied by the star QB there is a female geek who got bullied just as bad as you did by the head cheerleader. And, fortunately she will let you have sex with her when your at the ripe age of 42. Now tell me that I am wrong (about the social thing)?

[HaShomeret]

I AM!

[HaShomeret]

In answer to the frist question. in answer to the second: you are wrong!

[DoctorAwesome]

You are wrong.

I've had plenty of sex, it's nothing really special.

If you put such a huge importance on your genitals then where will you be when you're old and they don't work?

And survival of the fittest was realized by geeks and, not too sure if you remember this here or not but the Atomic Bomb was made by geeks and I'm gonna go with that being the ultimate survival of the fittest argument there ever was, just ask Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

[eastcoastin]

LoL geeks are people who are percieved as being smart... key word percieved. Most geeks are not intelligent. In fact, most geeks live in there parents basements until they are 40 and get fat and read comic books their whole lives, so I would stop short as to giving these accomplishments to geeks.

[QuantumCarl]

Or not.

Geeks are multi-million dollar successes.

People with problems due to perhaps emotional destruction due to assholes like you and the others on here.

They don't know how to cope or anything.

All it is is people who perhaps had similar problems took it out on these people thus "planting the seed" which caused people who couldn't handle it to become the 40-in-parents-basement.

[WATCHMYWATCH]

one of the geekiest geeks in my schoole was also one of the most popular ones (for real)

and he had a geek friend.. that was also really popular.. just because movies say that geeks are not popular doesn't male it true (just like there's no tall dark FLYING MEN WITH SUPER SPEED AND SUPER STRENGTH.. or are there? tum tum tum..)

[eastcoastin]

First off, get the definition of geek right you toolbag. A geek is someone who is disliked by the majority for peculiarity (meaning he is odd). So, that totally negates your whole argument that "one of the Geekiest Geeks in my schoole was also one of the most popular ones." This scenario in debating is called an oxymoron. Look up the definition of geek in the dictionary and please don't ever challenge my argument again unless you have something valid to say. Dumbass.

[tamathestoryteller]

Definition? Does it say that in oxford's?

[shadowmimiiru]

I was in the Army with high school QB's and the popular athletic/cheerleader girls (roomed with one for 3 years, worst experience ever), and I got to say, this here tiny geeky girl made it through basic training in better mental and physical shape than any of them.

[thissitesux]

I don't know how the geeks would fail since one qualification of being geekish is intelligence above your average joe. In any case the level of fail radiating from your comment might start to alter my DNA so I say good day.

[jaguarf11]

@eastcoastin: Perhaps you'd like to tell his wife and children that. As for you, I hope you didn't waste too much of your life thinking up such a witty and intelligent comment.

***I wish there were more of these clips, they're funny and informative.***

[eastcoastin]

No not really its a gift to think of clever things to say. I would love to tell his wife and children that but sadly they only exist in his imagination. I hope you won't waste your life standing up for someone who is wasting his life with the most ridiculous topic ever (this video).

[vzbyrne]

And what exactly are you doing with your life that's worthwhile may I ask? Posting comments on youtube? Oh yeah, Nobel Prize for that acheivement.

[Alabame]

You know what's funny? Since you gave the definition of a geek (Which, has no real definition because it's slang), you've been missing out on the fact you've had nothing but negative reps, I.E. you aren't very popular. Does that make you a geek to yourself?

Instead of chastizing this man, who probably has a better and more steady relationship than you'll ever have in your short high-school life, you should go watch a video you actually like.

[eastcoastin]

Yes, it does have a definition and the word has been recognized by most modern dictionaries.

On the popularity issue based on my comment ratings. Would you expect me to gain a following from the people who would want to view this video? I am unpopular with the "unpopulars," does that make sense?

[eastcoastin]

My motivations to post critical comments rose from getting replies for my orginal comment. I did not come to this site everyday to post something rude. I saw this once and I was truly perturbed by it, so I felt it be to express a comment about it. The replied comments have caused me to post answers to the quarrels.

[eastcoastin]

I have the right to express my views as long as it is not harming anyone as described in the GREATEST COUNTRY ON EARTH'S CONSTITUTION, and if you have a problem with that I suggest you kidnap me and relocate me to a communist country because otherwise you will just have to deal with it. Cheers to that. USA! USA! USA! USA!

[MarlonOwnsYourCake]

Not being popular would make him or her (probably him) a dork actually. Geeks are wildly popular among other geeks at times.

And technically, if the word geek didn't have a definition, it couldn't be used in a sentence. It in fact has multiple definitions.

[catalinaguerrero]

he was already a physics professor before being "popular" so at least he is way brighter than you, dumbass

[natzo89]

hey sir, are you one of those stupid americans they talk about on tv?

[eastcoastin]

They talk about stupid Americans on tv in your country? Basically your saying that your country is so unimportant that they report events on how Americans are acting? That just shows how sad your own country is, you should disown it.

[natzo89]

nah, is just that its so amazing that sometimes it reach international tv, and if you haven't pay attention, even americans point it out.

[eastcoastin]

Where are you from exactly? I'm gonna go out on a limb and say... Canada?

[natzo89]

you could save us some time and click in my profile, but since you can't do that, costa rica, yes we may be unimportant, but I just read the new in the internet.

[Deglorath]

Awesome, please make more of these. :D

[vikki2kaii7]

I dont....get......it?

[dangflo]

wow that is awsome! i wish my physics teacher was as kool as you

[dbuezas]

This guy is great!!!

[ShadowXIX]

50,000 TONS the ATOM might be able to give Superman a run for his money.

[zatousagi]

hmm maybe if i become a physics prof then i can pick a fight with anyone!

[guruasis]

LAST PART WAS BEST....I find him a bit cute

[bigim]

he's a PHYSICS and COMICS guy. He's gonna be a little, endearingly, dorky. But I can't believe people'd try to write him off as gay - did they really? In fact, why is GAY even an insult anymore? Fag, too. These are not viable insults, people! If you're not in the 6th grade, pls stop using them.

[bobafettfreak]

yeah

[bigim]

... yeah!

While I'm at it, I'll write off the insult power of Fag, Gay, Girly, Fem, Geek, Nerd, Weirdo, and anything other than (or opposite to) Manly.

Cuz as a woman I'm frankly tired of hearing that a guy having qualities I'm respected for is the worse for it. Any man should be honored to be feminine! Being macho ain't such hot shit. Seems to cause more trouble than anything else.

But Respect to this guy, incidentally, he's still rad.

[Jspheonix]

je reminds me of jd

[almasyff8]

jajajaja, that was awesome! cheers from Argentina!

[themoonpirate]

Thanks.

[Aaron518]

Awesome!

[vulmann]

Bravo!

[themoonpirate]

This guy is great! What's the name of his book?

[eventhoriz0n]

The name of his book is The Physics of Superheroes, and it's such a great book.

[FELIPEPALESTRINO]

TOO fucking great!

[sircheese]

geeks! lol

[mikong]

or a great gay.

[eventhoriz0n]

Why is everyone calling him gay? If you have a problem with his voice, read his book. If you don't want to read his book, fuck off.

[mikong]

I dont know. Maybe physics should leave their sattiric, asymptote-like stupid comments to the art. I'm a physics lover but also a writer. They should know the difference. But anyways. I enjoyed the fact, actually. Kakalios is a great man.

[crazy650c]

Wish you were one of my teachers in school. Great stuff, well done. Please post more.

[strain121]

lol .. so dorky

[elninja81]

no puedo creer que haya getne que vaya a ver esto

[ulrich87]

ahahahaha :D Funny guy!

[jaguarf11]

No wonder he is straining and groaning [carrying the white dwarf remanents], as it would weigh more than 50 thousand tonnes. :D

[mikeystaupy]

I'm gotta get that book! Finally, someone who might actually be able to make the concepts of Physics stick in my head!

[speedcrayzy]

what a great line at the end!

[ichsuka]

rofl remainings of a white dwarf star xD

[minusjason]

I like it.

[ProphecyofAvarice]

Lol. More of these are needed.

[UglyKenHart]

Is there any more of this? This sound like a fun spiel.

[RoyalKnightV]

ahahha i love this guy

[tresckow]

wow! my physics prof was dull. i want that guy!!!

[AL7AIR]

Somehow I wanna go back to school and do physics o.O

[Babycarol15]

Ahaha! He's so funny! Now that's a very good professor!

[PT111111]

LOL this is the best bit of all the others.
