Size still has an impact even if the weight is the exact same therefore it’s an unfair experiment and is inconclusive like obviously the one with the weight more spread out would snap first as despite the weight being the same the pull is grater and the string becomes weakened because it’s pulling a larger area.. I think it’s what they call having a better grip 🤓
AMAZING! I would have NEVER guessed it could hold that many!
It didn't even appear to 'snap' at the end… more like 'detach' from its anchor point.
Also, I typically hate pedantry, but as you are an educational resource, it would also be beneficial to audience for you to point out the fallacy of spider silk being 'stronger' than steel; in measuring a materials 'strength', there are a variety of qualities (relating to resistance to different types of pressure, impact or tension) that determine specific types of 'strength', so the comparison requires situational definition. [I THINK what I've heard is the popular misconception comes from the tensile strength to weight ratio, but I may be mistaken] ALSO, there are MANY kinds of spider silk ( both across the different species of spiders, and even within the abilities of an individual spider for different purposes)
PS: I know you said your test was a measure btwn proportional cross sections, so still super interesting! Wasnt tryn to hate! … however I wonder how you could measure the thickness of smthn so thin? Those would be quite the impressive calipers!
The spider who strung that spider silk thread is like, “DUDE! Stop using my line for your video without compensating me. Or I’ll get my 500 offspring to crawl into your mouth at night when you’re sleeping!”
I don’t believe this was fair, given how you were putting them on. The spider silk was getting evenly spread out with the weight because the pieces were side by side, whereas the steel was getting pressure stacked onto the same point causing more weakness. If the furry metal was stacked onto the spider silk it may have broke a lot sooner, or if the weights on the store were spread out side by side it could have lasted longer.

Did it break in the center or at the end?
Pared?
You changed the colours,..
That’s cheating!
But how will this affect his legacy?
Black Widow webs are even stronger
Well I’ll be damned it is actually stronger 😮
First it was nano tape and now spider web .
Are you going to become spider man ?
what kind of steel wire is that?? dwl🤣🤣🤣
Is that really a spider web?
So this proves if webs are made human level…then a person can swing with it inbetween buildings
Then how come I can walk through a spider web but not a steel cable?
How did you measure the diameter of the spider silk?
imagine elon musk using spider web in rockets😂
428MPASCALS?????????
Spider: Huh
Your wire
Vs
Our wire
😂

Ok, novel complete : )
Thumbs up if you once ran into a spiders web and started hitting yourself like crazy.
This is why chinese warriors of old used silk vests to stop arrows 🏹

Spider: *insert John Travolta meme
"Where dafuq's ma bridge?"
POOR SPIDER WAS HOIPING FROM LUNCH NOT PIPECLEANER
I remember once I threw a large stick at a cobweb to try and break it but instead the stick got stuck to it and me and my friend started freaking out.
Honestly thought you were gonna put the spider thread into the hydraulic press. Glad we saw this test. XD
Wow, I'd always heard this but never knew if it was actually true. That is so cool
i thought the black things were worms for a bit
I don't get it. Sure, the silk can hold little weights, but not what the steel wire can.

The spider: what is going on
That's why Spider-Man is the Goat
What is that that you put on the spider web
Well that why some peps use silk from spider to weeve to became clothes and the spider silk can bend so yeah
It’s stronger pound for pound. Weigh each thread and adjust accordingly.
“this is your thread”
“this is turboflex thread”
this is a joke, good video
I think its the tomatoe branch that failed here.
try using the steel wire weight on a spider thread. it wont even take 1 to snap it in half.
The starving spider is just watching you destroy his web like "wtf bro….."
