Hey Kyle, in the video you said, that diffusion doesn’t require energy and I will prove you wrong. (I know you mean, that the organism don’t need to bring forth the energy, because the process is running spontaneous, but you are still technical wrong - the worst kind of wrong) The free Gibbs energy G of mixtures is defined as: G = -RT (x(a)ln(x(a))+x(b)*ln(x(b))) R = Gas constant = 8,31 J/mol/K T = Temperature = 298,15K x(a) = Mole fractures of substance a, but I will use the partial pressures instead For fresh air with p(O2)=0.21 bar and p(CO2)=0.00039 bar: G= 819 J/mol For used air with p(O2)=0.16 bar and p(CO2)=0.05039 bar: G= 1099 J/mol The difference is now the energy of diffusion: -280J/mol One mole of gas takes 22.4 l of volume under standard conditions according to the ideal gas equation and a human breathes for about 8l per minute. So you are setting free about 100 j/mol/min of diffusion energy with your squishy body by breathing. Still love the show!

You can drown Aquaman if he was confined to an underwater spring cave because spring water (while underground) has little to no oxygen. It does not oxygenate until it reaches the surface. Simply blind fold Aquaman, drag him deep into a spring cave system and let him go. He wouldn't have enough time to find his way out of the cave system before drowning. Also, I imagine Aquaman would suffer the effects of decompression sickness when surfacing, after being underwater for a long period of time. He is half-human afterall.

What I mean is that cells also have "senses" and can move towards an stimulus, so Aquaman just has to throw some chemicals into the water to attract all sorts of cells. Then he "eats" and digests those algae, and hopefully he has some mechanism to absorb oxygen in the guts. Nevertheless, those algae might not have any oxygen, because they can grow in anoxic zones. That is the problem, those cells proliferate so much that deplete all the oxygen and then continue to live "anoxycally", without oxygen. So he's pretty dead me thinks.

Title: can Aquaman drown Conclusion: we are drowning fish with our pollution

Just thought I'd stop by and say how much I appreciate what Kyle does and the work he puts in. This is my favorite content on KZread and has been for years

Kyle, if aquamans gills are anything like that of a sharks he could be drowned by simply pulling him backward for a while or causing water to move over his gills in the wrong direction. While many fish species are able to pump water over they're gills be "gulping" (definitely not the technical term)some sharks have to keep moving forward to push water through their mouths and over their gills and others are able to pump water over their gills when resting on the sea floor but still don't fair well when pulled backwards since their gills usually aren't structured to handle backwards flow, especially not at speed. It's clear aquaman doesn't have to keep moving forward to breath underwater but he definitely isn't constantly "gulping" mouth fulls of water to pump over his gills so without over thinking it one could assume that his gills work in some way like that of a shark that has the option of pumping water over their gills. In that case all a villain would have to do is say trap him, submerge him in water and create some contraption to push water over his gills in the wrong direction and he would suffocate in a matter of minutes. Or simply capturing him and doing enough damage to his gills to render them ineffective could also work. Alternatively just stick him in a vacuum chamber like you've been planning to do to wolverine.

Alright Kyle I have a correction for you. When you are underwater like at 3:25 you can see a blueish tinge in the top half of the screen that gets bluer as you move upwards. Now I don't know how physics works in the void but that's not how it works here on earth... When you dive underwater red, yellow and green wavelengths are absorbed by water and organic matter, making the water appear bluer the deeper you go. The blueish tinge should therefore get stronger towards the bottom of the screen, not the top! great video as always :D

I really like that you involved a physical prop to aid your explanation this time around. I would love to see more of these!

Aquaman reminds me of lungfish or fish with labyrinth organs that allow them to breath air. Fish can also drown in different zones like that of the Bathypelagic zone (midnight zone) or Epipalagic zone (sunlight zone) due to the differences in the amount of oxygen in each zone.

Fun fact you can dehydration people if you only give them heavy water(water with an extra neutron on the hydrogen) despite them drinking what seems like water. Would aquaman similarly be dehydrated by heavy water? Edit: So I misremembered this. While drinking large quantities of heavy water does kill you it does this through interfering with biological processes such as mitosis not through dehydration. Thus if you put aquaman in a tank full of heavy water he would indeed die of having many many chemical reactions going wromg but would he drown in addition?

First--Big fan of the show, always loved these types of conversations at the intersection of Sci and sci-fi. Hope to see more for years to come. This video (especially Chad...) reminded me of a dark past.... I accidently pulled a bit of a kid-villain move and massacred the frogs in a large area as a child. Every summer I would start to hear them and shortly after I would start finding tadpoles in my pool and around the area wherever possible. One year, when I was like 7-9, I had scavenged a mid sized fish tank and I decided to catch all the tadpoles I could, and make them a cozy, safe (boy was I wrong) little home. Sadly at that time, my science knowledge was very sparse and I didn't plan it anywhere near correctly. They were all dead within a day or so. I now know so issues my setup had- oxygenation, and summer Florida heat probably being the biggest, and I'm sure over populating it in general didnt help... Hundreds of tiny froggy lives snuffed out in their prime! I felt (still do tbh) so bad. It took like 8 years before their was another frog heard in my neighborhood. Even then it was no where near the sonorous chorus of croaks that it had been previously--even like 12 years later. After that I looked into what I did wrong so as to prevent murdering any of my little aquatic friends- and told some other kids not to do the same type of thing. I actually buried them and the tank after this too. I learned, sure--but at what cost?!? Obviously I still feel bad about this, though in the years since I try to live and interact in better, and safe (for me and them) ways when coming into contact with any organisms. Learn from me!?! Don't massacre your little buddies-- in general leave them in peace and enjoy from afar. And let's prevent similar mass die offs from happening in the wider world from our pollution.

If Black Manta, et al, actually did cap the oceans or lower O2 levels, would that be their "drowning" achievement..? HO-HOOOO, YES!!!

Yeah, but you have to have a pretty snappy wit. Pretty sure Jeff Ross could do it.

Kyle You make a good point about oxygen concentration allowing suffocation in or out of water. One thing you might add is the interesting anatomy Aquaman would need to support gills. Most bony fish have some sort of gill pump, allowing them to "gulp" water and force it over the gill filaments. On the other hand, many sharks lack a gill pump and rely on swimming with their mouths open to provide oxygenated water to their gills (ram ventilation). If we assume Aquaman uses a gill pump, you might imagine how his body would reuse the same biology used for breathing air. His lungs would inhale water through the nose or mouth, but then force the water out of the body through gills. Since to my knowledge Aquaman has never been shown with gills in his neck (I could be wrong, there's a lot of comics), gills would have to be located on his back, chest, or abdomen, or.... maybe his armpits? This might explain why he prefers to be shirtless or wearing a special orange fish suit, to allow ventilation. This setup would require an entire seperate "lower respitory system" with seperate air/water ways exiting the lungs, and likely some extra muscles to close off this system on land to keep him from exhaling though his armpits. If Aquaman does not utilize a gill pump of some sort, but uses lungs, he would use ram ventilation like sharks, or otherwise rely on water passing over his gills as a result of his own movement. If that is the case, the easiest way to drown aquaman might simply be to hold him still for a few minutes. Of course, all of this assumes he uses gills at all. Anyways, great episode as usual.

I love how Kyle said "and if we look more closelier".

More table-top science demos/experiments, please!

I remember a documentary about jellyfish blooms that were cause by the dead zones in the Pacific which provided a safe haven for the polyps (or whatever they're called) due to the fact that baby jellyfish don't need as much oxygen. Maybe algae eating jellyfish will evolve in these dead zones to clean things up.

"More closlier" I generally say this sometimes and it saddens me

Hey Kyle! I have an idea of drowning Aquaman, make him swim with all his might and since there is a low amount of oxygen he can breathe with every breath, he will eventually become tired quickly for lack of oxygen in his body PLUS his body is much more larger than a fish which means he needs more oxygen to breathe in.

What would have really happened in Finding Nemo??

Hi Kyle, love the show and this episode in particular! I will defend my PhD (in 6 weeks) in Environmental sciences and Ecology, where I touch the subject on eutrophication and anoxic waters as well. Glad you brought up this subject :) Correction/clarification for the episode: One part that you did not entirely explain correctly (this misunderstanding is very common): the oxygen gets depleted not because of algae, well not completely. The increased nutrient concentration (and organic matter) in the water indeed causes algal blooms. But the oxygen gets depleted when the algae consumes most of the nutrients and starts to die off. Then the bacteria start to decompose the organic matter, including these dead algae. And this process consumes the oxygen! Not the algae itself, but decomposition bacteria do that using the dead biomass. So, you see, although the increased nutrient loads are linked to oxygen depletion, it might not always lead to anoxic conditions, or might not happen at the same place, depending on hydrodynamic conditions. Looking forward to your next show, we are watching with entire family, although my 4-year-old does not fully understand the content yet :). Cheers from Lithuania!

Hello Kyle, it's very refreshing to watch a more biology oriented episode! I know this is more of a physics show, but as a veterinarian I find this topics fascinating and would love for everybody to learn more about them. Keep it up!

Because I'm a responsible (fairly new) reefer I thought I'd mention that when you said if you want to populate a fishtank with a lot of fish all you'd have to do is increase the amount of dissolved oxygen you may have glossed over the part where you first have to cycle your tank by having it go through a process known as the nitrogen cycle. Basically you'll be introducing beneficial bacteria to your tank and letting it build up so you have enough of it in order to take care of the deadly toxins that build up inside it (by testing your water parameters you'll see a rise and then fall of ammonia, then a rise and then fall of nitrite, and then nitrate). I think this is worth mentioning because before getting into the hobby I was constantly told how people got into the hobby, their fish "mysteriously" died, and they got out of the hobby. The nitrogen cycle can take weeks but is essential process when owning a fish. This is true for saltwater aquariums, not sure about freshwater but Professor Google seems to think so. Also adding too many fish at once can potentially be detrimental to your fishtank as well because if you add too many fish their bioload (fish waste) will be too much for the beneficial bacteria to handle which can lead to ammonia poisoning. Loved the show and as always, just keep swimming, just keep swimming...

Hehe... Kinda reminded of that time the aerator on one of the treated water holding ponds at our plant broke down. We keep fish in them as to show guests the quality of our treated waster. One Monday we found a holding pond with a lot of dead fish. We found out that the aerator in that pond broke down sometime over the weekend and no one noticed. It was a very hot summer and by the time anybody noticed, the pond DO was so low most of the fish were dead. I still remember how me and my boss had to explain to the plant GM how fish could drown.

Breathing in deeply right before you dive isn't a good idea. You should hyperventilate before, breath in deeply once, breathe out and then dive.

Kyle is unapologetic about his new evil status, and I like it! Stealing a page from batman in the Doom story, and creating a plan to eliminate every superhero. I would like to hear how he is going to counter the rest of the Justice League. This week on The Days of our Villainous Lives: "How the luscious headed Sci_Phile plans to neutralize Captain Atom's nuclear power while slowly dominating the Earth's sciences with knowledge and KZread Comments."

Hey Kyle, awesome episode, very nicely executed! Here is a question that recently got to me: Could Antman even see anything while in his Ant-size-form (or whatever you want to call it) and if yes, how good(/bad)would his eyes' resolution be? Why do I ask that? We need a certain amount of light in order to see anything. If our pupils were the size of an ant's antenna (mini-Antman) there might not be enough light falling into them in order for us to see anything. And second: The maximum physical angular resolution limit is somewhat proportional to the diameter of our pupil/opening through which the light falls (which is why you see a lot more detail of e.g. the moon's surface when watching it through a telescope). Would really love to see an episode about that in the future! Greetings from Germany and keep up the awesome work! Yonathan

On its ice form, it could be wet aswell, if its just about to melt.

That's also why punching, or grabbing a shark by the Gills is one of the ways to escape an attack... basically knocking the wind out of them. However due to the difficulty of punching under water and panic, I'd go for the shove my thumb into it's eye option.

Last summer it was really hot in my home town which somehow also caused the algae level inside a lake to rise. In order to keep enough oxygen in the lake the firemen used their hoses to simulate rain over the lake which provided more oxygen because of higher water movement and surface area (that’s at least what they explained me). What I want to say is that Aquaman or the justice league could technically move the water surface in order to prevent your (or someone else’s) villainous actions. Love your show

Kyle, great stuff, I would like to add two corrections/elaborations. 1) Superman's powers or many of them have been explained as tactile-telekinesis. This is what prevents the plane from crumpling around him, or the ground being pulverized when he supports these massive loads, and more importantly why when he catches someone, he can essentially cancel out the impulse imparted on them. Now this explanation only works for superheros that have that ability and does not explain why people such as batman could do similar. 2) Neo in The Matrix, when he catches Trinity, I argue, would not have killed her. In The Matrix, Neo is basically God, having the ability to manipulate his environment to his will. He can do more than just fly and hit things really hard; he can manipulate the source code of The Matrix. I would argue that with the abilities Neo has, he could easily just manipulate his own and Trinity's momentum to match and also their durability. This is reinforced in the next scene where he puts his hand into her chest to remove the bullet, then again to restart her heart. I think Neo is much more powerful than people give him credit.

Spyros from Rhodes: This video is amazing, although it does kinda spoils the magic from the movie, but also you make it sound realistic enough at the same time, so I'm covered. (The videos are amazing I hope you keep this up!)

The last part was odd since I never used a bubbler and my goldfish still managed to live several years. Though it was only one fish in a pretty big tank and it had a water filter which most likely added enough oxygen to for it to survive.

Dangit, Kyle! I was hoping you'd point out that sharks can drown if you pull them backwards through the water even a few meters, but no! Science boy, I am disappoint.
