Simple physics Same frame of reference If you are on a train moving 5m/s, you are still moving 5m/s when you jump, so you land in the same spot that you took off
Comment from : Macaroni Salad

But air is less dense than me Shouldn't I penetrate through the air? Maybe feel a little push initially but I should've gone through that volume of air

WHAT ABOUT SKATEBOARDING

What the hell man What type of logic is that
Comment from : Talha 989

Why can't we talk about frame of reference and inertia? Am I missing something?
Comment from : Harish Vijayakumar Umarji

Both are falsebrIf you jump on top of a train you still land on the same spot
Comment from : aesthe pro

Sometimes people make me think that they don't actually think Like, they don't try to even think of an explanation Or is this just lack of scientific knowledge?
Comment from : Segen

This video would be ever so slightly better if he would finish pronouncing the word Air at the end It's THE point of the entire thing, he says it fast and it's cut off so it's hard to hear
Comment from : Lawsonomy

I'm not sure why anyone is confused how air pressure works

THE BUTTER IS AIR
Comment from : Rowbot 555

It's because the air inside the train is travelling at the same speed as the train
Comment from : Rea Chandler

Milwaukeean here, can confirm, the air is butter
Comment from : Joseph Finney

Mmmmmmh butter

"The butter is air!"br- Hank Green, 2023
Comment from : Olimar

He's so excited
Comment from : OddAbandon

Why is it Milwaukee sized?
Comment from : gssthe3rd

Objects that are in motion tend to stay in motion, Newton's 1st law You might think that you are stationary when in the train but from the perspective of someone outside the train, you are moving at the same speed the train is moving And because of that, you'll keep that motionbrbrWhen you jump in the train you're not jumping directly upwards, you're jumping diagonally along the motion of the train which is why you land on the same spot
Comment from : Additional Points

Now every time I try to explain a closed system I’m going to be thinking ‘the butter is air!’
Comment from : Barbara Rowley

I would like extra air on my toast please
Comment from : Lucy Goosey

Being surrounded by butter sounds delicious to me 😋
Comment from : LilBeee

Hank says air is butter and I get it PBS Spacetime says monkey time and I have no idea what he's talking about and I already kinda understand the subject
Comment from : ungoyone

Why is he always shouting?
Comment from : Christian Campbell

I love people discovering air resistance it's fun It's even better if you think about physics in a zero/low gravity environment it will break your brain a little bit if you think too hard
Comment from : Resentful Shrimp

The air in the train is moving at the same speed as the train while the air outside the train is staying stillbrYou are moving at the same speed as the train If you're on the outside of the train, the air will try to slow you down, pushing you backwards relative to the train
Comment from : Me, Myself and I

Omg one line had me dying of laughter "YOURE IN A LOT OF BUTTER" Lmao
Comment from : Wardog

Hank: I didn’t do as good of a job as I could have done, so I’ll try againbrHank 1 minute in: THE AIR IS BUTTER!!!
Comment from : Ken’s Musings

Inertia vs wind It's surprising that someone had to ask this question
Comment from : phife187

Adding this to my list of things I want on a t-shirt
Comment from : eksophia

🤣🤣🤣 it's interesting to think that bees can fly even though their wings should be moving too fast, because they're so small that their wings act more like paddles in butter than bird wings on air
Comment from : Raithneach Davisson

resistance

Does air in train change anything?

THE BUTTER IS AIR!
Comment from : The Creeper

Ive never seen him make an explanation so complicated
Comment from : Crik Tar

I'm going to turn "THE BUTTER IS AIR" into a t-shirt and see if anyone gets it when I go out
Comment from : Lylah Stein

But you're travelling through the butter 🧈 while on top of the train, travelling at the exact same speed as the train Is there some conservation of energy type law that would actually show you'd land in the same spot regardless of being on top or inside?
Comment from : Velkorin

Am I the only person that never needed an explanation on turbulence? Or that air is a liquid?
Comment from : Daniel Alicea

The air on the outside is moving against the train and the air on the inside is moving with the train
Comment from : Mr Person Man Thing

Y'all are missing that he didn't go "I can explain it better this time", he went "I can explain it butter this time"
Comment from : CaTastrophy427

But can you EXPLAIN why
Comment from : xXFlippyXx100

Unless the train is accelerating
Comment from : godamid

mfs never heard of air resistance
Comment from : AlexRVA

I went in with a clear mind and went out confused
Comment from : HelloFellowMellowMarshmallow

Ahh yes but what if butterfly?
Comment from : Geoffrey Martin

I don't know what your first answer was but this is clearly a worse answer
Comment from : R Rodriguez

I love this analogy Maybe my brain won’t forget this time that air exists
Comment from : Moi

😂
Comment from : Taylor Soutar

bAnd this rule would work on the Bullet Train also?/b
Comment from : Mikhail

I understood that English isnt even my first Language
Comment from : Sebastian Grebe

Looking through the comments for “umm butter”…
Comment from : Suko Are

Hearing Hank scream the word “plowing” made my inner child giggle 😅
Comment from : Izaiah Thomas

Take a look!brWithin a book!brIts reading rainbow!!!!
Comment from : Eons Infinity

So if you were in the front of the train and there was an open window in front of you, would you go backwards?
Comment from : sammy boi

Not me looking at those books magically stuck to the wall behind him I thought it through but it didntlook right Hahaha
Comment from : Brandi Flurnoy

Why not just say air resistance around the train but no air resistance in the train? I love butter being air though, lol
Comment from : X

The fact that she even had to ask this baffles me Wind resistance that's it I just I can't with people anymore
Comment from : Faolan Grey

Easier to say G-forces
Comment from : tpinkfloyd

The fact he has to explain this, makes me realize yall don't do anything in school anymore
Comment from : PONDERIN RC

Butter is air Got it
Comment from : GCAT01 Living

Imma be honest i just thought “wind”…
Comment from : snailmail

Really you gata think about that??? 😂
Comment from : ToastedTimeXXX

So, wind
Comment from : itsROMPERS

I think water would have made more sense than butter lol
Comment from : Eric Morgan

How is no one freaking out about the reading rainbow music?! Am I that old😂
Comment from : Juli Drummond

I wish I was in a lot of butter :3
Comment from : FDroid01

You’re literally going the same speed as said train
Comment from : TrapKing Productions

Yeah not even a real question, just dumb
Comment from : M B

Kinda funny to see hank explaining a 9th grade concept to a dumbass
Comment from : big floopa

Fkn nailed it!!
Comment from : Dave Fultz

When you’re in the train you’re part of the train When you’re on the train you are not
Comment from : Lorelei Simpson

Anybody that cant get to these conclusions themselves, is probably severly mentally handicapped
Comment from : Gabriel Györffy

I knew this but now I know it butter
Comment from : Brandon Rogers

Imagine not understanding the wind 🤣
Comment from : Jesse G

Sorry, i stopped listening because the idea of being in butter distracted me
Comment from : Sean

Anyone who was confused by your previous explanation is probably only more confused😂😂😂
Comment from : Joe Schaiper

I'm more confused now
Comment from : Deciduous Refuge

Roll down your window in your car and hold your hand up Now stick it outside That's your answer
Comment from : Black Benetavo

Also, conservation of momentum means that when you jump, you travel with the train at the same speed, it's just that on to their is much more drag
Comment from : Steve

It fuckin wimdy
Comment from : Üg

Basically the air outside the train isn't moving with the train, so if you jump you encounter wind resistance that pushes you backwards The air inside the train is being carried along and moving with the train, so when you jump you don't encounter any resistance so you land in the same spotbrbrIt's like why your hand gets dragged backwards when you stick it out a car window as you drive, vs when you hold it up inside the car while you drive
Comment from : RedZeshinX

WHY is there a music track playing? It makes it really hard to focus on what you're saying Please don't do thissad😒😟🥺😭
Comment from : Thea Bristlebroom

Ok that makes way more sense
Comment from : Muffin™

Ngl my brain tuned out everything and I just sang reading rainbow 🌈 📖
Comment from : Erik Beidler

is it bad i just expected "imagine jumping inside your house, vs jumping outside when its windy" lol
Comment from : Joshua Means

Hank, why did you have to make your answer sound sodelicious?
Comment from : NobodyNowhereKnowhow

I want to try this with butter
Comment from : Carloid

We need to generation that has an autistic hyper focus on aerodynamics
Comment from : Lars Murdoch Kalsta

I am in butter
Comment from : Dad

The easier explanation You're moving at the same speed as the train When you jump straight up, you're still moving at the same speed as the trainbrbrYou can demonstrate this by jumping before the train stops (DONT do this, you're going to fly forward and hit something)
Comment from : silly bird

Sounds like a train we need to derail by that there corn field
Comment from : Marius Longshanks

So same question but the experiment exists in a vacuum ?
Comment from : Ben

We love you Hank
Comment from : FakeReclaimer

Everything is better with butter
Comment from : Steve C

Ngl you just have to have enough of a life as a child to understand how this works brbrYou don't need equations for it to make sense - you are moving at the same rate as the platform you are standing on, why would you slow down/come to a complete stop just because your feet left the platform ?brbrbrThere are such things as stupid questions
Comment from : Rambo-Cambo

Simpler way of thinking about it, if the train is moving 30mph, you’re also moving 30mph in that direction just because you jump vertically doesn’t mean you stop moving the direction you’re already moving
Comment from : Robert Alfano

When you're outside the train, there's no container to stop you from being pushed backwards Simply put, the train is moving but the air is notbrbrWhen you're inside the train, there are four walls that prevent that outside air from pushing you backwards The air inside is moving with the train so you don't get knocked backwardsbrbrIt's wind resistance You're pushed around by wind resistance Also called drag
