  • this is why mass effect fucking rocks.

  • thanx for recording this so i could see it again

  • I laughed so hard when I first played through ME2 and heard this.

  • Everytime i first go to the citadel, i stop and listen to this guy, always entertaining

  • Sergeants: masters at yelling... phds at physics ;)

  • if this guy would have been my physics teacher i might have actually learned something

  • Raidan just got pwned by his superior.

    Just imagine David Hayter putting voice to the Captain! XD

  • I used to be be employed by a splinter human rights group, but then I took a 20 kilo Feros slug accelerated to 1.3% of lightspeed to the knee. Newton is one deadly SOB.

  • I really kind of want this speech to act as a brick joke in ME3. A shot is fired accidentally, and hours later that same shot ends up saving you by suckerpunching a reaper.

  • @magmos That would be amazing!

  • @magmos Unlikely, railguns fire too fast for it being fired and have them hit an hour later.

  • @FlayvorOfEvil That's why it would occur in an entirely different area.

  • I wish that there was less cursing so I could use this in my freshmen physical science class...

  • @mistycat85 I would use it anyway. Just warn the students that the language is a bit colorful, but probably no moreso than they hear at home.

  • If this is space in the future, i'd like to be there.

  • Note to self: use "smart" projectiles wherever possible when in space [to avoid hitting something I don't want to hit].

  • @Maxaxle I don't think there are many smart projectiles in Mass Effect. All the guns shoot chunks of metal at near light speeds.

  • @magmos Alright, fine. Automatic turrets that know what to shoot and what NOT to shoot.

  • @Maxaxle Ships are traveling faster than the speed of light, still kinda hard.

  • Because of this video and my physics teacher I was such a trooper in physics last year and got honors. So every time I take a physics test I remember this video. <3

  • I wonder how it would have been had R. Lee Ermey been the voice actor.

  • @samareaye Pretty much exactly like this, but with even more awesome.

  • Ah, so I guess we have Serviceman Chung to thank for the incoming Reaper invasion in ME3...and that's why the Reapers woke up from their sleep.

  • YES. You have to say the WHOLE Newton's Law!

  • I'm wondering, would they be charged with manslaughter if one just happens to miss and goes off into space? Would that be pre-emptive manslaughter, or what?

  • I'm actually using this in a science viedeo on Physics. Who ever said videogames weren't educational?

  • "that is why sir isaac newton is the deadliest son of a bitch in space!"

  • i don't really know or like this game (my boyfriend does), but i just laughed my head off :D

  • My favourite dialog on the Citadel.

  • Damn if I don't want this guy as my Physics teacher.

  • AT which point, a slug from a mass driver fired against the Reapers two million years ago slams into the station and kills everyone, driving the point home to the idiot gunner in his final moments.

  • If ONLY my science classes were as epic as this -.-

  • R. Lee Ermey should've voice this guy.

  • Why are there people here arguing about the actual physics of what he's saying? He's a drill sergeant yelling at his cadets, not a world class scientist.

  • @TubaHeroMatt He's a gunnery sergeant, not a drill sergeant. You would not ever want to fuck up that bad in basic under a drill sergeants watchful eyes.

  • @TubaHeroMatt

    You'd assume that if you have to help operate a spaceship, you'd at least have to KNOW some of the science behind what hell you're doing. Especially if it's as important as: "If you miss, you'll most likely end up killing something."

  • *looks at dislikes*

    I think that weapon ruined those 2 people's days.. o-o

  • Epic scene! If this isn't a good way to interest someone in science, than there is none.

  • Sir Isaac Newton would be proud U_U

  • terrible voice acting

  • 38 KT ain't a city buster. Its closer to tactical yield. Cold war city busters were multi-megaton (Titan II was 9 mt).

    THE MOAR YOU KNOW

  • @SeverEnergia Yes, you are right about the cold war. But the Hiroshima bomb was a defacto city buster (it pretty much busted the city) and it had 1/7 of a megaton yeald.

  • @GLoiroG theres a google maps app that lets you track the PSI footprint of various yields on the city of your choice. Give it a spin and freak out. :p

  • Ya know, this kinda shows what a badass Sovereign was.

    Dude was taking shots that hit with 3 times the force a nuke, and he was tanking a couple hundred of them. DAMN.

  • "it impacts with the force"

    wrong, it's energy

  • @fidoda007 He's a sergeant, not a physics professor. 

  • @SAMASzero Wrong. He's a voice actor who reads a script. The developers suck at physics.

  • @fidoda007 Let's not get meta here.

    Besides, "force" sounds cooler than "energy".

  • @fidoda007 Actually, force is the correct term. Energy (except kinetic) refers to electromagnetic waves of varying wavelengths, such as infrared (which is quite common), visible light, and high-frequency x-rays. Energy does not "impact", as it lacks mass. Force, however, refers to the "kinetic energy" an object carries, which can be discerned by multiplying its mass and its acceleration. Just trying to clear things up.

  • ...and this is why I'm a physics major.

  • This would have been even better if the Gunnery Chief was voiced by R. Lee Ermey...

  • @SavageRush012 Or Mr. T. I pity the fool who eats the 38 kilotons of kinetic energy you fools unleashed 10,000 years ago!

  • The Future: Where testosterone fulled meat-head sargeants do science

  • They throw their slugs at that slow of a speed? Seems to me it would be more efficient just to toss the slug out of a airlock or something at, I dunno, half the speed of light? Their ships could easily do that from what I saw.

    Or better yet, if your gonna be tossing around slugs that could do kiloton level damage, just do it the old fashioned way and shoot kiloton nukes at them.

  • @FireWarrior38 Tossing them out of airlock while moving at half the speed of light has the downside that you are also moving at half the speed of light, which can make aiming and prolonged combat bit difficult.

    And thing about using nukes as opposed to just accelerating chunks of metal is that you need to worry about nukes exploding when they are supposed to and having all the force go towards the target, where as with metal chunks you just worry about them going towards your target.

  • @Klooniveli Cyber warfare and the not the kind that uses tech attacks with omni tools, I'm talking about dedicated cyber warfare assets or better yet, a AI.

  • @FireWarrior38 thats 3,800,000m/s, or approximately 1200 times the speed of sound, that is not a slow speed. also, a nuke costs a shit ton of money, and takes up a lot of space, a chunk of metal in space doesn't even have to be aerodynamic, it can be a box, and it costs almost nothing. if you fired something off at half the speed of light, it would hit its target harder than any bomb ever imagined by mankind, and would be wholly unnecessarily explosive.

  • @vazhkatsi The Mass Effect Codexs actually say almost all weapons at that time fire paint chip sized metal fragments. The only limit of how fast is the recoil and heating. (It's said the recoil from firing a gun that could vaporize a person would push you backwards far enough to circle the Earth.)

  • I wish my teacher in high school explained it like this...

  • "that could be a shit, or a planet behind that shit..."

  • @BytorAndTHEsd ShiP

  • @GLoiroG I know, but with his accent it sounded like shit.

  • ...but I love shooting from the hip...

  • Why isn't Physics class like this??

  • Try the transcribed audio captions.

    "every five seconds the main done of the at first glance fred not exonerate one to one point three percent of flights me backs of the poor so you'd create jobs on that's three times the yield of the city bus tour dropped on hiroshima that got her"

  • this makes me love mass effect 2 even more.

  • in mass effect 3 servicman Chung and Burnside make a minor appearance as the gunners on a dreadnought, eventually the ship's sensors get so damaged that one of them says to the other "Just eyeball it."

  • FEEL THE WEIGHT!

  • I learned more from this guy, than I did in high school physics class :)

  • @Shrike2101 This guy summed up a quarter of my senior year in advanced physics

  • This speech is also pretty funny in French too, but it's too different to compare with English...

  • Pleeeeeease Bioware, let that guy be a party member on the third game.

  • I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite video on the Citadel.

  • I want Newton on my team.

  • In 10,000 years a bomb is going to hit... Oh, well this is awkward. Uh... I guess 0 people?

  • Man. I've been so impressed by Mass Effect 1 & 2 videos just because of their use of science! Must play these games eventually.

  • I would love to have him as my physics proffesor.

  • I'm Commander Shephard, and this is my favorite browbeating on the Citadel.

  • @shimazu32 ha thats so funny the way you lie, how can you have 3 favorate stores in the citadel? Lol

  • @shimazu32 You win the comments thread.

  • None of the dialogue in HALO games were this clever.

  • This guy sorta reminds me of Johnson's monologues at Halo

  • damm, Shepard better go back in time to recruit Sir Issac Newton in the next game!

  • No credit for partial answers, MAGGOT! Drop down and give me twenty theorems NOW!!!

  • I don't think he could wave around 20 kg. Or maybe he's just that awesome.

  • i don't have time for this...I've got some calibrations to do...

  • 10,000 years later....

    Chewbacca: BAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

  • @PunkBuster123

    That doesn't make sense. Star Wars was a long time ago. In a galaxy far far away.

  • @abridgeduploader Come on man, you sound like a science fiction lover, don't you believe in alternate dimension? Where is was longer ago in a galaxy farther away?

  • @PunkBuster123 Well...Chewie's in a galaxy far far away. Nearest galaxy to earth (Canis Major dwarf galaxy) is 25,000 light years away. 1.3% of light speed is 2422 miles per second...ah screw it, it won't get there in time...

  • @PunkBuster123 chewie was killed a moon don't ruin that

  • Most.

    Epic.

    Science.

    Class.

    Evar.

  • I would love to hear Neil DeGrasse Tysons answer to this clip^^

    If you don't know him: He is an great astrophysicsist (spelled right? idk) and he loves the work of Sir Isaac Newton...

    Would be fun to show this clip to him^^

  • I 'eyeball' my nuke gun all the time. He would be dissapoint.

  • Where is this scene set? Is that guy chewing out two recruits in the middle of a public mall or something?

  • @Ghost8492 It's on one of the levels in the Citadel IIRC...might be as you first dock, I'm not sure.

    Chief's pretty studly to be one-handing a 20 kg slug like that.

  • @Ghost8492 It's the docking bay right as you get off your ship in the Citadel

  • And THAT is why we do not "eyeball it!"

  • Best. Speech. Ever.

  • It's soldiers like these that make the alliance great

  • @dericktriped12 If you actually listened, you would know he didn't say 1 to 1.3x the speed of light. He said 1 to 1.3 percent of light speed.

  • @DanteAkmea actually, if you want to get technical, he said "accelerates one [of the slugs] to 1.3% of light speed"

  • Sorry "roping seis" (Ripping this)

  • Correct me if I'm wrong (and I probably am seeing as I haven't taken phisics yet) but wouldn't going 1.3x the speed of light mean it went backwards in space time. Or that roping seis space time would couse a black hole to form? Then what about the equal and opposit effect law. Or couldn't it become like a comet from gravity... Eventualy. Then the whole 3x bigger than h-bomb... Can't we already go 10x that. IDK

  • i love u.... for posting this!

  • and that is why mass effect is the most educational game ever made.

  • I checked his math he means 36 kiloton.

  • @happykillmore88 Unless there was another nuclear war between then and now.

  • what is the quote in this game from the assassin about entropy?

  • this is GOLD

  • I want him as my squad member in mass effect 3....either that or Sir Issac Newton's clone.

  • @outbreak201

    Yes, that would be great

  • I should have actually USED MY BRAIN before posting lol. Strange the things you can say without thinking things through completely.

  • I'll never look at science the same way...

  • I won't be surprised that some sick bastard in R&D will design a 100mm electromagnetic accelerator cannon within the next 300 years. Hell, the US Navy was working on a rail gun

  • @Pyromaniac721 Was? Did they stop the program?

  • Wouldn't unhindered acceleration make the thing hit much, much harder in 10,000 years?

  • @Galvanidze

    It would stop accelerating once it left the source of acceleration. So, once it left the barrel, it wouldn't speed up, it just wouldn't slow down.

  • @AbortFlight no, learn your physics. Not only does on object in motion stay in motion unless acted on by an outside force, but it actually means if it started to move (acceleration), it will continue moving at that acceleration until other forces change it. In space, the ACCELERATION will slow down over time (until it eventually becomes negative acceleration), and also objects or small particles it hits will wear out the object into multiple pieces, like when a meteor crashes into earth's atmos.

  • @MsHojat

    Huh, I didn't know that. I'm not really that good with physics, I'm taking a class on it in High School this year.

  • @AbortFlight actually I just made a really big blunder, lol.

    a BULLET in space WILL NOT perpetually accelerate, it will stay at the speed it was when it left the acceleration source. I was just really stupid and thinking about SPACESHIPS in space. Spaceships, when applying constant acceleration, will continue to speed up in space as long as it's propulsion source is active.

    Bullets (generally) don't have self- acceleration, so that will not happen. My mistake, lol.

  • @Galvanidze- Yeah. When a round has been shooting through the cold void of space for 10,000 years, it is going to be seriously pissed off. It will blast through the ship, the planet behind the ship, and anybody and anything in the way.

  • @Jurassic0Al Space is not cold...in fact, due to all the radiation given off by stars, it is pretty actually pretty mellow. Not everywhere, but the main reason why giant ice-covered rocks generate a trail...they MELT in space...

  • @Chrinik- Right, then.

  • @Chrinik Mellow? What? Space is very cold. It is -270°C, or -455°F. Because there are no gases in space, warmth can only be radiated, which is a slow process. That's why cooling is quite an issue on spacecraft.

  • @Phr0zenFire - You fail high school physics....

  • @Phr0zenFire And instant-freezing is, too...it actually feels rather mellow compared to what the actual temperature is...which is what I meant.

    You will still freeze to death (when you are not near any stars giving off a lot of heat), but it will take time, as you said. Now, imagine someone told you that this room was -250°C, but since you cool so slowly, you can easily take your shirt off, and take hours too freeze to death...would you still say it feels "cold"?

  • @Chrinik Ah well, you meant subjectively mellow :P

    All's fine then

  • @Chrinik - No. You could say it feels... *puts on sunglasses*

    ...cool.

  • @Shadowycrafter

    -YEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!

    Still, because there is no humidity and immediate touch of your skin with something, it wont feel as if it was -250 °C...it feels cold, yes...unless you are near a star, like our own sun. These things will roast you to a shrimp when you are still millions of kilometers away. They give off alot of heat by radiation, just visit Africa around summer, or travel to a planet with no athmosphere, like Mars...

    It is still possible to sustain your temp for hours.

  • @Chrinik Space is cold its about 4 Kelvin, Ice 'melts' in space because of the low pressure.

  • @happykillmore88 It is cold, but it will not insta-freeze anything.

  • @Chrinik Yes, because the main forces that heat bodies, conduction and convection, require an atmosphere to work, and the last one, radiation, takes a lot more time, so space would theoretically feel as room temperature. However, you would experience a drop in temperature, due to low pressure, your body fluids would boil, requiring energy. Said energy would be picked up from your body, thus lowering your temperature.

  • This video, with vuvuzelas. :D

  • FEEL THE WEIGHT...

    Do it for the PRIIIIIZE

  • I shook my head when he answered wrong

  • YOU DO NOT EYEBALL IT MAGGOT!

  • I fell out of my chair laughing when I heard this the first time in game.

  • Gunnery Seargeant Hartman's great great great great great great granddson right there!

  • This is the first time I've heard his whole speech. Whenever I hear him in-game I ignore him and assume he's just a crazy wino or something.

  • Comment removed

  • Bitch gotts pwnt ;)

  • Lol I loved this bit! XD

  • lol wtf? i failed the science test about newtons third law and i failed it, even a video game guy knows more than me

  • Lol. I just emailed this to my physics professor.

  • Sounds like ouchtime for whoever gets hit, haha!

    I suddenly want that weapon very much.

  • "Sir Isaac Newton is the deadliest son of a bitch in space!"

    I fell off my chair. xD

  • Wait did he say 38 kiloton? I did the math and it is a little over 36 Megatons.

    Hiroshima's "Little Boy" 12-15 kilotons. Nagasaki's "Fat Man" 20-22 kilotons.

    That weapon is the equivalent of at least 2400 Little boys or 1637 Fat Men bombs.

    That means Sir. Isac Newton is the Deadliest Son Of A B*tch PERIOD!

  • @Madmann135 Kilo = 1000, Mega = 1000000. 38 Kilotons is 38000 tons, 36 Megatons is 36000000 tons. Not quite right. He said 3 times the yield of the bomb on Hiroshima. If "Little Boy" was 12-15 kilotons it works out.

    With that said, I would NOT want to be in front of that thing when it goes off D:

  • @darkcomrad

    I would prefer to be on the sending end instead of the receiving end. Still I wanna see what that shot does to a ship.

    Was half asleep when doing the math and I made too many mistakes.

  • him vs r lee ermy equals full metal jacket

  • And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the beauty of physics - the ability to imbue a paper clip with the power of a nuke.

  • If Gunnery Sgt. Hartmann was a physics teacher, I suppose that's what he'd sound like.

  • EPIC...I lol'd

  • He is definately a son of a bitch. He makes Physics more tedious.

  • Captions:

    by the way the community did you want to have her it's a loser

  • SIR ISAAC NEWTON IS THE DEADLIEST SON OF A BITCH IN SPACE

    watched this 20 times and i still laugh at it XD

  • where is this?

  • @odoylerules360 the citadel im pretty sure

  • i wonder Newton tought about this when he made his first law.... lol

  • This guy should definitely replace jacob's spot on the team. :)

  • Fuck my team, I'm putting that guy into my squad!!

  • @Rafalskimi Nobody chews ass quite like a marine drill sergeant...

  • That thing he keeps in his hand doesnt look like a 20kg ferus (iron) slug. more like 3 kg

  • @LordDonib

    20 kilo = 44.1 lb. That is one strong marine.

    If the gravity is less than earth then I can understand. I know that different areas of the Citadel have lesser of heavier gravity than earth.

  • @Madmann135 Yup. I'm pretty sure that the codex sez gravity's somewhere between full and 1/3rd in the Wards.

  • At 1:03 , I completely start to crack up.

    That's why you check your  Damn target
