So, OK, the projectile will vaporize in atmosphere. But what about the massive shockwave produced by the projectile before disintegration? You know, the same kind of shockwave that happened last time when one of the meteors vaporized itself into atmosphere before landing, partially or not. The same would happen, sure, we're talking about huge differences of mass, but the same differences of speed can be applied. And we all know that the kinetic energy produced is half of mass times velocity squared (1/2*m*V^2), so.... At least some glass and ears will be broken forever?

And now departing logic and moving into SOUTH PARK and stereotypes...., I feel development and use of this WHALE engine is something that will be exclusively done in JAPAN- a country famously portrayed on GREENPEACE and Whale Wars reality shows for their CURRENT AND ONGOING WHALE HUNTING INDUSTRY for resources we no longer need thanks to replacements from synthetics.

If I remember correctly, in one of the movies (and the TV show) they explain that the Noisy Cricket is actually a sonic projection weapon, that uses a narrow sonic radio wave to disrupt particles in a being or material and cause it to essentially shake apart violently and explode. So...technically, it shouldn't have any recoil at all because it's not firing a projectile or accelerating anything. It's an instant transmission of focused sonic waves.

Though, some of the more extreme ideas about what exactly happens beyond an event horizon (such as the possible existence of new universes inside of them) may change that, at least partially.

@@eviljesus84 It's not a contradiction to say that the laws of physics would bear little apparent resemblance. The same laws of physics can look very different depending on their context, but that doesn't change the fact that they are the same governing principles. Black holes, in particular, are rather extreme examples and are largely unknown, but they do indeed obey the same laws of physics as everything else. We simply don't yet understand *what* those laws of physics are yet, due to the fact that the laws of physics we've discovered so far are not directly applicable to extreme environments. And yes, it is indeed assumed that various physical constants are, indeed, constant and universal. They most likely are, though, as no measurement of either those constants in a lab or in two causally separated regions of space have yielded a different result. If the constants are changing, it's at an absolutely glacial pace, and they've likely changed only a tiny amount since the dawn of the universe.

Reminds me of the weapons in Mass Effect. They use element zero to accelerate a small chunk of inert mass to hyper velocities instead of traditional gunpowder/bullets. Since they're useing only a small mass but extremely high velocities, they have devastating effects at impact. The ONLY part missing is the effect these hyper velocity rounds have on the atmosphere around the projectile when fired. You can see from the US Navy rail gun experiment, that firing a bullet at such speeds nearly creats a fusion reaction of the air molecules as they can't get out of the way and the bullet creates a stream of plasma in its wake

You are partially correct. We know it's not purely based on nothing but sound because when J first shot it, there was a path of fire leading from the store to the truck. The second time he shot it, there was a small explosion (we didn't see any fireballs but that's because he just hit the thin cable that was holding the van). The third time he shot it, he hit the trailer of a semi and there was a huge fireball explosion. A sound-based weapon wouldn't leave trails of fire or cause fireball explosions. It's possible that it uses soundwaves to fire the weapon itself. The chirping sound we hear are soundwaves building up in pressure and then when that pressure is released, it fires out some sort of projectile. That would be a perfect example of why the gun has such a huge kick to it. All that pressure building up and then finally releasing. So I guess, in a way, it's a combination of a sonic and projectile weapon. But Kyle would then need to figure out how much pressure would be needed to throw J backward so far.

Would also explain the lack of a means to reload and the tiny extended tip of the weapon.

Since it has to accelerate through the speed of sound first, you'd have a sonic boom. Also any object that travels above the speed of sound in the medium leaves trail of sound (usually very loud) if it's aerodynamic coefficient isn't 0 - which means it would be totally silent, since it doesn't lose energy to the air, which is what makes sound. But since such objects (materials) don't exist - and somehow I don't think they can exist (the closest thing that comes to mind is Bose-Einstein condensate, which supposedly has viscosity of 0 - though I might have screwed up something given that I learned it in another language, also super-conductors have minimal or 0 resistance, so these are analogous situations, but not the same).

Henry Norcross II This sounds like a reference to cosmic evolution theory...which is where black holes form and create new universes on the other side with altered/evolved physical laws. Honestly this theory is entirely a way to get rid of the problem of the singularity (the beginning of the universe). It makes more sense to explain the singularity with some intelligent force outside our universe I.e. God, aliens, a computer program etc... But atheists have chosen a philosophy where this is impossible. The truth is and will likely remain, we don't know. As for physics with black holes, they don't break laws. Things like time and space, physical dimensions, may not be comprehensible in such a place but energy is still conserved. We don't even know if black holes have an inside or go somewhere. The problem is with observing them and since our ability to observe things is greatly related to radiation bouncing around, black holes become problematic with the radiation trapped by the gravity.

Hey Kyle, great episode as always. One thought on the whole recoil thing, there are videos out on YT that show people firing large caliber, high powered guns getting knocked back or knocked down by the recoil. So it may be possible for the Noisy Cricket to do the same thing.

I'd agree, but can sonic or even super sonic waves cause the kind of damage it does in the first movie? Where are those small explosions coming from? kzread.info/dash/bejne/mIil2qiCoMaXmpc.html

I honestly have always wondered about how powerful the Noisy Cricket is in the first movie. It was also the first VHS I ever bought for myself and I still have it.

I always thought it was form of a sonic blaster

5:04 if the diameter is 2mm, the volume of a spherical projectile would be (4pi*0.001^3)/3=roughly 4*10^-9 m^3. With a volume like this, the density that would result in a mass of 4mg would be (4*10^-6)/(4*10^-9)=10^3kg/m^3, which is the density of water. Thus, your estimation of 4mg is correct only when assuming that the projectile has a diameter of 1mm, because the volume would be 1/8 of the volume that you get with a diameter of 2mm, and the density of steel is roughly 8 times the density of water. So the mass of the projectile would be, according to your assumption of a 1-2mm diameter, somewhere between 4mg and 32mg (actually a bit more than these values since I rounded pi/3 down to 1)

I found a simplified formula for Ballistic gelatin penetration not accounting for deformation of the projectile based on the velocity, diameter of the projectile and density. I couldn't find official dimensions for the noisy cricket, but compared to a similar sized pocket pistol, I'm estimating that the average diameter of the noisy cricket to be 80mm with a density of 1.54 g/cm^3. Based on your assumption of recoil momentum at 240 KG m/s. It would recoil out of Will Smith's hands at a velocity of 500 m/s. Launched at this speed, the ballistic gelatin penetration would be 154.56 inches. Not accounting for the Noisy Cricket deforming and breaking on impact with his chest. That's enough to rip out of his hands and blow through his chest. And if after deformation and breaking transferring energy into his body, it maintained only 10% of it's speed on exiting Will Smith, pieces of the noisy cricket would be found about a foot to two feet behind him.

Now that I’m thinking about it… the distance is under the assumption of the ballistic gel penetration. Maintaining 10% of it’s speed it would still be traveling at 50 m/s and travel a lot further than just a foot.

My theory is that it's some kind of hyper-advanced gravitic or plasma weapon. Either firing a 'sphere' of distorted gravity which threw you backwards as normal gravitic fields reasserted themselves in its wake, or firing highly compressed, highly energized plasma enclosed in a rapidly dissipating EM shell that caused a shockwave that caught you and hurled you backwards as all the air that made contact with the contained plasma through the EM field basically...detonated. The plasma being too small to roast everything in it wake, but once it hit something and the EM shell dispersed, absurd damage being done. Both techs would require grotesquely more potent energy storage than we've got, but hey, the noisy cricket apparently comes from a species that's got FTL travel and communications developed. So they could very well have discovered some outlier in physics that let them contain the equivalent of a year's output of a nuclear reactor in something the size of a watch battery (that you would never want to break open).

1. what exactly is a "sphere of distorted gravity" supposed to be? And why would gravity "reasserting itself" throw you backwards, when Earth's centre of gravity is "below"? 2. why would anyone build a weapon, the projectile of which starts exploding the moment it leaves the barrel, potentially hurting the operator in the process? 3. if the plasma projectile was "too small to roast everyone", then why would it losing containment on impact suddenly make it so destructive? Hot or not, it's still a tiny ball of ionised particles in Earth's atmosphere, and so should dissipate almost immediately. All in all, your explanations sound quite scientific, but mostly in the way a Star Trek episode does. P.S. saying "highly compressed and energized plasma" is basically a tautology, since it's an ionised fluid that requires high pressure and temperature to create. So it's "compressed and energized" by it's very nature.

I don't think so. Energy/mass is energy/mass. It being in a different form wont change the physical interaction.

If memory serves me right, it does actually show the damage the noisy cricket had done in that same scene where we see the fresh prince get sent flying backwards.

I always assumed that the cricket was some kind of concussion/ shock wave device, that's why it was called noisy cricket. Kind of like a compressed air blast seeing how it quickly spread out from the end of the gun making it a great short range weapon but a lousy long range as the shock wave would weaken as it got further away.

I maybe just me, but I always saw the MIB weapons as futuristic weapons that fired energy blasts and stuff, not projectiles.

Hi Kyle, love this show One small correction: the conservation of momentum happens in every collision, and most of the time some energy becomes heat. When you also have conservation of energy, this is a "completely elastic collision" and there is another formula to describe that (this formula comes from the conservation of energy and conservation of momentum).

"Our Values are Under Attack!!!" is probably one of the most conspiracy-like Things one can say, and yet, for Science, it's literally true.

This is one of my fave of your vids Kyle. You made me laugh at least twice.

So, I was thinking on this.. When the recoil hits, it impacts all of J, rather than just his hand. In theory, if the recoil acted as you'd imagine, his arm would jerk back and he'd either break his own nose, or be thrown back by that point. So what if doesn't discharge like that? I'm BS'ing around with alien tech, but I'm going to assume it's a liquid or energy that reacts on oxygen. So when it leaves the barrel the reaction happens and that's the take off point, which creates a small boom and flings him back. That's kind of the only logical answer I can think of to have the backlash act like it does.

A great example of the squishy bendy aspect is shooting a shotgun from the shoulder vs the hip. From the shoulder you just kinda bend back a bit but from the hip (the butt not supported on your body) it feels like it's trying to rip itself out of your hands as if someone whacked it with a sledge hammer

I always assumed that the cricket was a sonic weapon

kyle : ah finally the research the things i need and then his memories just got deleted

The Noisy Cricket is probably just the weaponized, inverted version of an *inertial dampener* . It projects a "bubble field" around Will "J" Smith; but instead of _anchoring_ him in place (preventing him from being moved) it uses his own mass to project energy on both directions [half on whatever it "shoots", and the other half spread through each atom of his body]; displacing his whole body at the same time. -> In practice, the "bubble" probably does not "cover" his feet and half of his legs, so the device is NOT "pushing" the ground [probably because this tiny weapon was designed to be used by medium/small humanoids about ~1 meter tall].

Could the noisy cricket be a rail gun if so it could explain the pinpoint accuracy and immense amount of recoil?

Ok, a few thoughts I had from this episode: 1) The noisy cricket would be in interesting propellent for someone traveling in space. 2) Bit of a nitpick here: Proper weapon handling stance is important when firing high recoil weapons. The shooter braces their joints and musculature to absorb and redistrubte recoil through the body and into the ground. If a proper stance is not used the weapon will either knock the person down, or fly out of their hands. There are videos online of this. 3) Good video, keep it up!

Also gotta keep in mind, modern weapons have pretty advanced recoil compensation systems to spread out recoil and reduce it's effect. So, for an extremely advanced weapon even that small, it's entirely possible that similar systems are in place to spread out the recoil that is felt by the firer, reducing it's overall effect as our natural balance compensation (and any trained compensation the firer may have) helps to deal with it. All of this is to say, it's entirely likely that the force of the projectile being fired is many, many times higher, and that it's recoil is being spread out over the course of a second or so (which would explain the floaty effect you can notice whenever J is thrown back by it, even though we all know that's just cuz it's hollywood movie magic using cables and such, it's a neat idea if it could be canonized as what's actually happening!)

That fits the observed recoil, with not breaking wrists.

From what I gather, the noisy cricket is a complex weapon that fires an explosive propellant gas and a projectile. Then it ignites said gas using several tensor fields and an ignition source. Due to the shape of the projectile and the semi-spheric placing of the explosive gas field, the explosion on firing produces knock-back. Note that the projectile is also a multi layered pallet which squishes and explodes on impact usually blasting away a circle of material at the point of impact. It was originally designed as a boarding tool for infiltriation in a vacuum. A fast approach vector to the target would be slowed down at the last moment using the recoil of the gun, while at the same time punching a hole in the hull big enough for boarding purposes. It is often given to newbies because of the funny ways it makes them fly. And compared to other weapons its damage on biological life forms usually ends in a severed limb due to the cutting disk shape effect on hitting a target. Something that isn't life threatening with sufficient advanced medical technology.

The test u showed some ways in reminds me of The "RailGun" technique that misaka uses in "A certain magical index" or "A certain scientific railgun"
