The video discusses how Spider-Man's powers, gained from a radioactive spider bite, would not be enough to keep him alive due to his human anatomy. The host, MatPat, explains that Spider-Man's biggest enemy is his own body, as it is not adapted to handle the stresses of web-swinging like a spider's is. He highlights several issues, including:
1. G-forces: Spider-Man's closed circulatory system would cause blood to rush away from his brain and organs, leading to blackouts and potentially fatal injuries.
2. Internal organ damage: The sudden stops and changes in direction during web-swinging would cause his internal organs to rupture.
3. Falls: Spider-Man's dense human body would not be able to survive falls from great heights, unlike spiders, which have evolved to slow their descent and absorb impact.
MatPat concludes that, despite his spider powers, Spider-Man's human body would not be able to handle the physical demands of web-swinging, making it a "recipe for disaster."
Here are the key facts from the text:
1. Scientists at the University of Wyoming created "Spider Goats" by splicing together the genes of spiders with actual goats in 2012.
2. Spider Goats were able to spin their own webs.
3. Peter Parker got his powers after being bitten by a radioactive spider, which altered his DNA and gave him superpowers.
4. Spiderman's powers include super strength, lightning-fast reflexes, climbing walls, and a "Spider-sense".
5. Spiders have an open circulatory system, which means they don't have blood like humans do, but instead have a fluid called hemolymph.
6. Humans have a closed circulatory system, where the blood is trapped inside one continuous loop.
7. G-forces can cause blood to be pulled away from organs in the body, leading to a lack of oxygen and potentially even blacking out.
8. Spiderman experiences at least 3 Gs of force every time he swings through the city, which can cause blood to rush out of his brain and down to his feet.
9. Fighter pilots wear special compression suits to help keep their blood evenly distributed while flying.
10. Spiders have evolved to survive falls from great heights due to their high surface area relative to their volume, which acts as a natural parachute.
11. Humans are dense and not well-suited for surviving falls from great heights.
12. Spiderman's landings, which often involve sudden stops, can cause his internal organs to rupture due to the force of the impact.
13. Spiders have a chitin exoskeleton that is resistant to puncture forces and can absorb the impact of landings.
14. Humans have dense bones that can shatter and break under the pressure of a fall, even with super strength.
