  • Good clicking joints;. Essp toes.

  • I am glad you appreciate. Unfortunately, this video is not what it should be. I am not very comfortable in front of the camera. Mister Wizard deserves better. It definitely should be more concise (less than 5 minutes).

  • Won't this lead to early arthritis?

  • It would take about 1mJ (1 milijoule) to damage a joint. The energy released from cracking a joint is about .1mJ (100 microjoules). So the answer is no.

  • ali G invented fusion XD *snap*

    also if you compare the LHC to a mosquito like they do, don't they have more chance of finding dark matter by throwing rocks at a wall? peace.

  • I can crack... all digit joints (fingers and toes) wrists elbows shoulders foot long bones ankles knees and knee caps some vertebrae a couple sternum joints nose cartilage I am not proud of this.
  • Everybody knows that cracking wrists aint healthy

  • Good science and a good addition to knowledge on the net :)...Pulling on a finger for a snap seems not to cause arthritis as the blast is more even. It's uneven cracking that can cause problems from large amounts of cracking in the same direction... joints are repaired. stretching then using my body weight was 2 of the 3 way I repaired a slipped disk in 3 days. Thank you for sharing Walabio.

  • plasma or fusion? think I'm crazy? I argue that the snap sounds like the cavitation created by the pistol shrimp and mantis shrimp. In the lab neutron emissions and helium have been found.

    as to the arthritis... I'd watch "Sheila Patek: Measuring the fastest animal on earth" you can find the answer there.

    search sonoluminescence then sonofusion. This really isn't some far out idea.

  • You had me fool......
