  • Vsauce, I'm Jake, and Thor's hammer...doesn't weigh that much. According to MARVEL it's

  • 42.3lbs which is still a lot to hold...especially one handed (veritasium clip)...but the reason

  • the hammer can't be lifted isn't due to weight but because it takes someone who is worthy

  • to wield it. It's a common misconception that Thor's hammer was forged from a dying star

  • when it was actually forged in one. But let's say it was made out of a dying star, specifically

  • the densest in the known Universe...a Neutron Star.

  • Once a massive star dies and goes supernova, the core may collapse to such a degree that

  • the protons and electrons smash together to form neutrons, giving us a celestial body

  • that can contain two times the mass of the Sun within an object that is only 12 miles

  • in diameter.

  • In Caleb Scharf's great book "Gravity's Engines" he mentions how a sugar cube sized amount

  • of Neutron Star material has the same mass as all of humanity. Taking the dimensions

  • of Thor's Hammer, and assuming it's made entirely out of that material, it would weigh over

  • 10 quadrillion pounds

  • So now you have 4.6 trillion metric tons, about 97 million Titanics, condensed into

  • the size of an American Football. Let's say you and I are having a conversation, I'm holding

  • my hammer, and I accidentally drop it - BOOM! Being alive is no longer a thing you do. In

  • fact living is a thing that a good portion of humanity has stopped doing.

  • The Tsar Bomb, at 50 megatons, was the largest nuclear weapon ever detonated. Thor's Hammer

  • hitting the floor would be 1.3 MILLION times that. The closest comparison would be the

  • Chicxulub Asteroid that's thought to have wiped out the dinosaurs.

  • When the asteroid impacted, debris was ejected out of our atmosphere and upon re-entry, it

  • grew so hot that it glowed white and rained down globally, setting whatever could be lit

  • on fire...on fire. Earthquakes shook the ground, megatsunamis crashed into land masses, volcanos

  • erupted spraying ash into the air combining with the dust and debris to cover the surface

  • of the Earth and fill the atmosphere, blocking out the Sun.

  • Since the hammer is so insanely dense and covers such a small area, if you put it on

  • the ground it would drill through the Earth until hitting the core. So it's best not to

  • touch anything with Thor's Hammer, however it wouldn't even have to touch you to horribly

  • kill you.

  • Newton's Law of Gravity states that any two bodies with mass will attract each other,

  • and we happen to have an object with an incredible mass, squeezed into an incredibly dense package.

  • If you were 100ft away, you would be pulled towards it at almost 1100ft/sec^2, which is

  • close to the speed of sound and then things get really messy because parts of your body

  • closer to the hammer will experience a stronger gravitational pull than parts that are further

  • away and that difference near the hammer will be so dramatic that your body will ripped

  • apart by them also known as spaghettification. If Mjolnir were made of a dying star, it'd

  • be devastating, it would also make Thor one of the strongest super heroes ever. And before

  • we say, "but, Jake it's magic" remember what Thor said in the first film, "Your ancestors

  • called it magic...but you call it science. I come from a land where they are one and

  • the same." Or in the words of author Arthur C. Clarke "Any Sufficiently advanced technology

  • is indistinguishable from magic." And, as always, thanks for watching.
