These Substances 'Defy the Laws' of Physics

In our macro world, everything has shape, occupies space, and behaves predictably. We're used to the expected: thin materials tear, ice chills, flames burn, and water flows downwards. Yet when the opposite happens, it leaves us amazed.

Magicians have thrived on these phenomena for centuries. David Copperfield, in 1983, made the Statue of Liberty disappear, astonishing the audience. Though it wasn't real, the act challenged reality.

But there are genuine wonders in our world, without tricks. Prepare to witness: Liquid flowing upwards, A boat in an aquarium without water, Dry water, Hot ice, And more, all defying the laws of Physics!

Substances that defy the laws of Physics!

Nothing defies the laws of physics. One can only advance our understanding of said laws.

Watch in awe as this person casually holds their palm against a wall made of this composite.
This person is Veritasium, that did an awesome video about it.

I have one or I had one of those Staples put into my leg. It was really cool having the doctor explained what he was doing and what new technology he was putting into my bone. Even gave me a small example of what it would look like once it went into my skin or in my bone holes and then it would tighten up and pull my bones back together. I will admit they worked like a charm and it was pretty cool.

Also, when we give machines the ability to become more than us (as in self repair) and the intelligence to go beyond us we’re all fooked

What are the environmental effects of some if not all of these amazing materials?

[SpiritmanProductions]

Whilst there are a lot of interesting things in this video, it's somewhat spoiled by some ludicrous pronunciations. 'Divalent' is dye-VAY-lᵉnt, and 'trivalent' is try-VAY-lᵉnt. And 'wound', as in wound healing, rhymes with 'tuned', not with 'bound'. 🤦‍♂

Can you imagine what we will have in a hundred years.😯
The same as the human body has so much in common with the universe.

Only Scotty can defy the laws of physics for Cpt Kirk.

The thumbnail got me here. To tell you that it can really trigger some ppl's trypophobia. Cheers!

[vholes]

I would like some comment about unintended consequences, like when your trendy car made from some of these materials is sent to the junk yard. Some of these materials look like they may be a problem after the intended product lifetime.
Asbestos and a lot of plastics are chemically inert but that doesn't mean they aren't a serious health or environmental problem, it makes problems worse.

If someone invents something that can seriously benefit all of humanity but chose to keep it a secret it should be seen as an Indirect Crime against humanity. We seriously can't have that anymore.

[LarryCoppotelli]

WOW! These are some extremely fascinating substances having amazing meta-properties that bring us into the science fiction world into reality!

[greenaum]

Lots of people have replicated Starlite, like Nighthawkinlight, whose video you used. It's corn starch, baking soda, and glue. Or at least those ingredients make something with the same properties Starlite was supposed to have. That's why Maurice was so obsessive about keeping it a secret. Once it got out, anyone could make it easily. It's no big mystery. Since we know Maurice possessed a kitchen and apparently didn't have a degree in chemistry, seems pretty likely that's what he did.

How teflon was considered miracle material and now we are all poisoned with it

Sometimes I feel like this is educational, and sometimes I feel like it's AI written when it asks me to watch a voice.

The subject of this video is what my son has his education in. He has a PhD in the philosophy of mechanical engineering. He has a hand in developing some of what you see here. He works for one of the companies mentioned. And you would never suspect that he was the ultimate science nerd! He just a great guy!
So i just thought it seems so strange they mention David Copperfield at the start of this video. I knew Davied very well before he became famous. When my son was about 7, i wrote to David asking if he could write to my son. I thought it would give him a thrill because my son loved magic. I never heard a word back from Dave. No doubt his publicists threw my letter in the circular file. And things came full circle, indeed. David Copperfield deals in illusion. My son deals in reality that truly is magic.

[LSD]

@4:55 Yup, we're doomed. A.I. plus PDMS-SS-IP-BNB = Doomed! It's literally just like the scene in the Terminator movie where it shows the entity self heal.

[stuart]

I was spraying lineX 15 years ago 😂 it's a great product when applied in a very dry environment. Not exactly new/amazing technology though..
