Film Theory: Doctor Strange Magic DEBUNKED by Science

Doctor Strange, you think you know how the world works, what if I told you that the reality you know is one of many, show me cool, let's do it hello, welcome to the movie Theory that debunks

magic

One fairy at a time there's a hole in the hat for the rabbit the cards behind his hand there are two people in the box he is walking on plexiglass I mean, honestly, the only

magic

trick I really can't understand is how Chris Angel still has a career in short, everything can be explained through the

science

that it brings Let's get to the topic of the day Dr Strange, also known for his other titles Now You See Me three, we promise that Jesse Eisenberg is not in this or the other title, Inception, in the trailer we see a lot of crazy images that Doctor Strange shoots. rings of green lights come out of their hands manifesting walls of glass tying whips of light, we even see entire cities moving and sticking out from each other upside down, sideways and diagonally, seriously, it's like Marvel had seen Inception and we thought What?

Upside Down City proves four that is the power of Disney, but here's the problem from the beginning Marvel has sold its most fantastical elements as pure

science

. Captain America is the result of a scientific experiment gone wrong. Hulk is the product of gamma radiation. Ant-Man reduces empty space. between atomic particles, something we have already

debunked

, even Thor with his rainbow bridges is explained as very advanced technology. Your ancestors called it magic and you call it science. Well, I come from a place where, in fact, they are one in the same thing. This focus on science over magic, quote, has been confirmed by none other than Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige.

Are you watching the Cosmos series? That's magic. It's amazing if someone knew how to take advantage of those things. What's the difference between that and Magic? Sure, in the comics Doctor Strange gets all his powers from magical and mystical entities, but Feige has stated that the

film

version will be a departure from the comics and will explain the

doctor

's powers not with magic but with science again, to quote Kevin Fight , there are a couple of lines in Thor. I'm basically saying that magic and science come to a point where what's the difference and we continue that in Doc Strange, so by firmly siding with science, Feige has revealed that actually everything in Doctor Strange can be explain through reason and logic, but holy rusty iron man, guys, how do you explain light shields in upside down cities?

Even Feige acknowledges that Doctor Strange isn't quite known to use one more quote of the type, particularly for a character like Strange who goes from being a man of science. for a man of faith and going through Both Worlds and sometimes there won't be an answer, sometimes he will want an answer, how is this happening? And not at all well, unlike Feige and the rest of Marvel Studios. Matt Pat from the movie Theory I'm not going. To leave you hanging more Benedict Cumberbatch explaining the

strange

magic of Doctor Strange is my challenge today, believe it or not, everything is possible with the power of quantum mechanics, so before we start analyzing the movie, let's start with a quick analysis of quantum mechanics. overview that teaches you in a few seconds Concepts that overturned centuries of established physics knowledge, basically until 1900, scientists believe the universe worked with pretty standard laws, jump off an object and fall to the ground, push an object to the right and moves to the right, asks JJ Abrams to direct a movie and fill it with a lot of lens flares and some big twists in the last half hour.

These are the fundamental laws of nature, but in the early 20th century scientists discovered exceptions to the established rules, specifically these. Subatomic particles like electrons and neutrons, the building blocks of atoms, and these particles often contradicted the physical world as we understood it. One of the biggest breakthroughs came in 1909, basically, this was the year Albert Einstein proposed the wave-particle duality of light to explain. Some pretty

strange

results scientists got when testing light in the lab Einstein proposed that maybe light sometimes acted like a wave, which is how everyone thought of it at the time, but also other times it acted more like a particle, like an electron or a proton.

It's a little confusing but it's important to understand for today's episode, so let me quickly explain the difference. Imagine a calm pond with leaves on the surface. When you drop a stone into water, it produces a series of circular waves that, when they reach the leaves, cause them to move up and down, but otherwise the leaves stay in the same position, they don't actually follow the wave. , it's the same with water particles, the wave moves through them but doesn't actually drag the particles with it, this roughly illustrates the difference between waves and particles a particle has mass and other measurable properties like charge well, waves They are not usually waves, but they do not always need to move through some other medium, that is why, for example, in space no one can hear you scream, there is no sound because there is no air for sound waves to move, but That brings us back to the light.

Basically, light has been shown to possess energy and momentum that are properties of particles and not waves, and yet light has no mass, which is like rule number one for anything that behaves. like a particle, so basically Einstein said vin and not both in what is obviously a misinterpretation of a German accent which in turn led physics to do a complete about-face in 1929. Gilbert Lewis called these massless light particles photons and thus quantum mechanics was born, so why? Do we need to cover all of that well because photons and their crazy properties are the basis of Doctor Strange's magical powers throughout the movie?

Doctor Strange uses light as an offensive weapon and as a defensive tool manifesting mandelas of light as a shield to move and Repel objects is crazy, right, light, well, maybe not so much. In fact, you can move objects using light alone. You know how the wind blows on a sail and pushes it forward. Well, you can actually do something similar with light because, as we just discussed, light has momentum. Let me introduce you to solar sails, large, lightweight mirrored surfaces currently used in space to move objects over long distances. Basically, the light hits one side of the sail, which has a mirrored surface that reflects the photons coming from the Sun, but in the process.

The momentum of the photons is transferred to the sail like wind on a ship and in space, where there is no friction to slow you down, those little bits of momentum start to build up and that's just one of the ways light can move objects. There is also what is known as the photophoresis effect when an atom is heated on one side by photons the gas molecules on that side of the particle become very excited, we are under sunlight, we will get a great tan that will make us move faster and as a result, they bounce off that side of the particle's surface at a higher speed, creating a force that pushes the atom away from the light and this is not just speculation.

Scientists have recently tested the effect of photopheresis on tiny moving objects, nails, beads, and even blocks with nothing on them. but the power of light, so how does this apply to eggs benedict? Throughout Dr. Strange, we see this on a grand scale, for example. At this point in the trailer we see the villain Cilus harness a ball of light that essentially pushes Doctor Strange's particles away. and the rest of the building outwards, in other words, the front half of Benedict heats up very quickly due to the intense light and the photopheresis effect does the rest, causing a domino effect as objects are repelled outwards, toward lower illuminated areas, what is happening at the atomic level is that The gases around the particles on the face of the Benedict Cumber bun get so excited by this intense light energy that they begin to hit it with an intense amount of speed, so much speed, of In fact, they send you flying into the wall, but photons are not limited to just moving matter, they can also create matter, it's true, objects made of massless light particles, it seems to make no physical sense, and yet, In a recent study, students from Harvard and MIT managed to convince photons to bind together into molecules, as quoted by scientist M Lucan, they created a special medium in which photons interacted so strongly that they began to act as if They had mass and joined together and cite the final result: light creates three-dimensional structures like crystals.

It sounds familiar, so it should, because Doctor Strange is full of crystal images so when Doctor Strange first meets the old man, the first thing he sees is light coming from a crystalline pattern, this doesn't make any sense, well, actually

doctor

, it makes a lot of sense, the photonic light becomes so entangled with the atoms in the air that the properties of the atom are transmitted to the photons at that point, the photons basically become an atom which creates solidified light, a crystal of light, what you are passing through is a crystal of light that is breaking and if that sounds like a strange

theory

, strange scientific

theory

, it actually happened in real life when a group of scientists back in 2013 already created solidified crystals made purely of light, forget about Swarovski and its silver crystals.

I want my crystals light and please note that this is not the only crystal image we see. In Doctor Strange, either when Strange is practicing alone in this chamber, the first thing he magically forms is, you guessed it, a glass wall. It's no coincidence that Marvel did his homework on this one. I don't know about you, but you know a little more about science. behind these seemingly magical moments makes me appreciate the scenes from the movie Much more, it is a commendable movie that gets the guys done right and that finally brings us to the moment we have all been waiting for, how do they make those cities collapse ? with each other in a strictly scientific way, the key here is to listen to what the old man tells Doctor Strange when they first meet: we harness energy and shape reality.

She states that there are two keys to her powers harnessing energy, which they do through photons and then secondly, shaping reality, this is a very careful choice of words, the old one doesn't say that she changes reality, only it is shaping it, therefore, reality does not change, only your perception of it, is the essence of a magic trick from a strategic point of view. from the audience, the bunny actually pops out of the hat, the card disappears into thin air, and the woman is cut in two. Chris Angel gets paid to do whatever Chris Angel does.

The magician has the form of reality so that the audience is induced to believe in the impossible. How do you shape reality to create cities upside down and sideways? The key here is in the Marvel logo, which for Doctor Strange looks like a pattern you'd see in a kaleidoscope. Well, you're right. The patterns you see in a kaleidoscope are one version. What are known as fractals Fractals are basically geometric patterns that repeat infinitely in smaller and smaller sizes, think of a snowflake and how the same shape repeats over and over again in each section of the flake.

Marvel is dropping hints everywhere that Fractals power the Doctor Strange universe that appear throughout the

film

's trailer as Doctor Strange enters the layer of the ancients, crosses a platform modeled after a square T, one of the most famous recurring fractal patterns in history, light Mandela the Ancient first. Doctor Strange chose another fractal that repeats circular images, even the ceiling over Strange's head in the scene where he wields his light whip is a fractal and it is these images that serve as the biggest clue as to how Doctor Strange performs his greatest trick. because you already know.

What He creates naturally occurring fractal crystals, we already know that strange crystals create repeating images, as we see in this scene, look closely and you will see that there is not just one, but multiple Benedict Cumbers reflected on the surface. Still my nerdy Sherlock, loving heart. Cities upside down and sideways are exactly the same, only on a much larger scale these cities are not actually upside down or sideways, they only appear that way through a repeated image refracted inside a glass. It is important to keep in mind that cities upside down and sideways are exactly the same.

They are not different from each other They are exact replicas of each other The same buildings The same cars You can find the same landmarks in each city That is because there is really only one city Only our perception has been altered so we see crowds intermingling cities, this also explains why cities start to distort at the edges of the image. These distortions prove that what we are seeing are not real cities.on top of the other, but simply reflected images of a city. Reality hasn't changed just its That said, perception has to how Doctor Strange can interact and fight in a crystal refraction is perhaps a theory best saved for another day or who knows, maybe they'll explain that one in the movie reveals the All of this is being written and edited edited edited edited edited the week before the movie comes out, so I haven't seen it yet.

If this scene is explained in the movie and this is all redundant information, then screw you Marvel, thank you for not inviting me to an early screening of the movie. Mark Applier, do you have a movie channel? No, who has a movie channel and is talking about your movie? skip ahead a bunch of times to analyze the science of the movie, okay it's not bitter so I hope they don't explain this in the movie otherwise this whole episode could be a moot point it could be very embarrassing for me , okay, I digress, let's finish. This is a long story.

By far, if there's one thing this video has proven, it's that Kevin Figgy's original claim is 100% correct: while we can explain Doctor Strange's magic using crazy quantum theories, the science behind it all is actually magical. and impressive, whoever the scientific researcher is. in Marvel props for you man actually you know what here actually let me look it up. I just ranted about being ignored, so I'm not going to overlook you, Marvel Studios science consultant Adam Frank, professor of astrophysics at the University of Rochester. Sir, your name may be overlooked by the millions of viewers waiting for that post-credit schwarma joke, Adam, but today the millions waiting to see this episode will get to know the real magician behind the scenes and that's you, so Thank you Adam Frank. for bringing accurate science to some of the biggest movies in the world, which is why you may not win the Oscar like my son Leo, but instead let me give you the next best thing, the Seal of Deep Courage # more than Frank, where proudly Adam like you.

You've done your part to make the world a little smarter place with science and that's pretty magical, but hey, that's just a theory, a movie. Theory and court, congratulations. You are now smarter about quantum mechanics in the Marvel Universe. Impress your friends with those knowledge bombs. Why don't you see it now? If you watch that long, it means you probably like Marvel movies and if that's the case, then you probably really liked the Deadpool movie based on the number of views it got. You may have even seen my Deadpool video. on how to kill the guy in case you missed it, I'm going to leave a link right here, but you know what you probably haven't seen yet.

Wise Cracks' video on Deadpool's entire philosophy, which not only has one of the most clickbaity thumbnails in YouTube history, I mean, I love you guys, but seriously, bright yellow and click In me, they have made me very proud, but they also have an incredible analysis of the film that ties it to classic literature and analyzes what it means not only to the Marvel Universe, but what Deadpool means to the entire film industry in these days is incredible. I was watching this video and I was like, yeah, that's awesome, that makes a lot of sense, which is usually a good reaction when you're watching a video. and that's why I really like to share his stuff with you because I love his videos and I think if you like this channel you'll like his videos too.

These are guys who deserve a lot more love in their videos, so click here. on Deadpool's left buttock to see them. Deadpool will thank you. He will also enjoy you hovering over his left buttock. It will be very pleasant for him. He'll probably make some kind of sexual innuendo with it anyway. I'm done next week, we move away from Marvel and over to Pixar for a Wall-E theory that will decimate you. I am enthusiastic. I will never watch that movie the same way again and it was honestly my favorite Pixar movie. For starters, I'm excited about it.

Hope to see you next week. Schwarma joke after credit. I don't know what the joke is. Once again, I wasn't invited to the early screening, so there you have it.
