The Truth About Thor's Hammer

"All the power of the storm, from all the world, flows through my veins, and can be summoned by mine hammer at any time, wherever it is. A lightning storm in Japan? Mine. A hurricane off the coast of Barbados? Mine again. A brace of tornadoes in Kansas? Aye...mine. All that might, all that destructive force, mine to command. Channeled and guided through the mystic might of this hammer, guided right at thee!" -Thor

Mjolnir. A name that literally translates to "that which smashes". Forged in the heart of a dying star that nearly destroyed the Earth upon creation. Capable of summoning the winds of 1,000 worlds. Capable of killing gods. Capable of channeling the unmatched power of the god blast. There is no doubt that it is one of the mightiest weapons in the Marvel multiverse. It is so mighty that Odin won't just let anybody wield it. You must prove you are worthy to lift the hammer! ...Unless you're really good at reverse engineering.

Take a look at Comic Drake's video, right here:

Mjolnir is made of some pretty tough stuff. It's actually called uru. Check out how it stacks up against other fictional metals here:

Well, it looks like I have to clear up some misunderstandings, so here you are!
1. Please do not confuse which Thor this video is referencing. This video is about the Marvel version of Thor, not the original Thor from Norse mythology. That Thor is patently different for a number of reasons.
2. Magic _does_ exist in the Marvel universe, but it has still been debated from time to time whether Asgardians are magical or using incredibly advanced technology. In this video, I discuss how Thor's hammer might function if it has a scientific explanation because, as discussed earlier in the video, _magic_ does not follow laws that allow proper study.
3. Yes, I know gravitational waves were detected at LIGO. I actually mentioned that in the video and showed a picture of the research facility itself.
4. The song at the beginning is called "Local Forecast- Slower". It is a royalty-free song composed by Kevin MacLeod and available for download on his website. Link in the description. Yes, I Hate Everything uses the same song in his openings, but he does not own the song, and I did not steal it from him.
5. I must regrettably confess that I did not actually have a magic/high-tech hammer stuck on my laptop. There might have been some loopholes I could have instated, such as breaking the table legs and forcing the laptop and hammer to slide off, but it was all a set up to allow me to talk about Thor's hammer.
If you have any more questions, let me know! I hope you enjoyed the video!

Mjolnir's enchantment says "Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor".
I think the gravitational bond is more simbolic than effective.

You can hold it in space(with a space suit of course) with 0 gravity, but still not get the power of Thor.
Maybe Hulk would lift it by brute force, but still wouldn't get Thor's power anyway, so for him it only would works like a common hammer,
and would be just as useful as when he picks up a car, or a steel beam to take the shit out of an enemy.

40 pounds?.... Ah.... I'm pretty sure it's crushed....

no you can't move thors hammer but you can move the table

[itscaptaincod]

It shook when he tried to lift it for the first time. It considered him worthy

batman once lifted the Mjolnir. it exploded because it wasn't worthy

[UrbanFarmboy]

I know what it means to be worthy. And if you look back over everything you know about Thor and Mjolnir, I'm sure you will also find it to be true. One is deemed worthy, when they desire the hammer for nothing other than the preservation of life.

[petelee]

Or you could just find out every fictional character that has succeeded in lifting the hammer and figure out what trait they all have in common

[ShadowSaberBaroxio]

You know, you sort of look like Peter Parker, from Spiderman.

Hands down, best channel on YT to binge on early mornings with a hot cup of coffee.

4:52 isn't that just like Tony? A friend gives you a crystal to examine and you use it to figure out ways to kill that friend. What a great guy.

"Why, I converted mass into energy last week" 😂😂

[finn_underwood]

Thor's Hammer will generate and emit gravity when someone tries to lift it; gravity significant enough to prevent people lifting it.
And yet, when it's placed on a table and someone tries to pick it up, when it generates it's extreme quantities of gravity, it doesn't break the table.
Logic!

This guy kinda reminds me of vsauce. And vsauce is good
