The Black Hole story continues with our Black Hole merch, spanning the whole range from somewhat bonkers to more serious. Check it out here: https://kgs.link/shop

One question you said most galaxies have a super massive black hole in the center But you said "most" does that mean something else could be in the center of a galaxy?

TON 618

if blackhole continously grow, why is there an infinite singularity in the center?

2:38 -- I feel like the orbits are incorrectly drawn here. Shouldn't the black hole be orbiting opposite the star instead of 'parallel'? Shouldn't they actually be orbiting the common center-of-mass between them?

Could you do a video about what the inside of a Black hole would look like? A dense rock or super dense material? Maybe only raw matter? Anti matter? To me its just compressed matter, following normal physics. Put this matter together with other matter - it just gets bigger. Nothing special but definitely no gate to other dimensions. Maybe just a solid structure of some form not worth being explored in the end. Cause its underwhelmingly boring.

Ah, my monthly dose of existential dread in adorable cartoon bird format.

Hey I know you I love your channel

100% this also holy f the f ing musick in the back tho i want it seperately so i can feel existential dread anytime

Why is Adam here?

I could prolly bench ton 618 ngl

"Since TON 618 is so far away, we only see what it looked like 10 billion years ago" these lines gave me huge chills

man when i learn about how fascinating and limitless the universe is im crying asking about my existence

If the universe is only 13 to 14 billion years old how the hell that black hole Ton 618 became that gigantic within 3 billion years 😱. and how does it looks now 😵

@s m wat dat meen? 👀

@Broockle ¹q

The comparison at the end is jaw dropping, terrifying and just downright incomprehensible. My hair stood up on end and the existential dread is setting in. What an incredible video. Thank you Kurzgesagt!

timestamp?

@Benjamin Murray Well that is exactly why it is impossible to accurately rank them in size. We can calculate the exact size of it, but not comprehend it. And you would need to comprehend their size first in order to compare them. It's like imagining earth and comparing it with a basketball in size. Difficult to compare. Maybe even impossible.

Tbh, at the and my breath was shivering and and my eyes were filled, my jaw was dropped, my friend...

Really puts it into perspective just how small we are to some of the mysteries of the universe. Now imagine getting a glance of it from a closer yet safe distance. I'm sure it's an incredible sight.

Yet we can litraly stop existance

@Samuel Papp we are observing it, so yes there is a safe distance.

@Samuel Papp Youre correct lol

@Samuel Papp hey man, you never know, 200 years ago people probably thought that space exploration would never ever be possible, yet here we are

@RobbyT-low well then there's simply no way to observe it. You'd have to be living in a magic world.

The effort that you guys put in is incredible! Hats off to the whole team

This channel is literally the definition of quality over quantity

LiTtErAlLy

Yes, absolutely!

@d Watson lul we think same

Lemmino: Am I a joke to you?!

This comment is literally the definition of Copy-Paste. (no negativity, just notice how this comment is in every channel that is "quality over quantity).

The upper limit of the size of a blackhole has been something I've been thinking about lately. Like is it possible there could/one day be blackholes out there as big as an entire galaxy, an entire universe? Could the universe itself be orbiting/inside a blackhole the size of multiple universes?

The fact that you call out the videos possible false information makes me trust these videos even more for a source of valid information.

Vyvyvtcyvybubunjbj😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Theories and other variables tend to change over time. So that's why.

10:48 this part gives me goosebumps. The music linked with the terrifying fact that we are nothing in this vast space: chills.

10:42 Just beautiful animation, voice over and music editing... It really made me have goosebumps. THIS is why I love Kurzgesagt. Keep educating the masses, guys!!!:) Really appreciate the effort you go through to put this content out.

The "behind the lies" segment is genius. It should be a staple of any scientific popularization attempt as it allows simplification for the sake of clarity and communication while also pointing at the innacuracies. Fantastic stuff as always.

🟨SERCH ADITYA RATHORE, HE ALSO MAKES INFORMATIVE CONTENT LIKE KURZGESAGT

@James Smith nice trolling ur doimg there

@Clove Beans he means that the theory as we understand it is not the natural law (how things actually are). This is frontier science. What we we study today will be outdated pretty soon

WTF just happened? A perfect trifecta?! Knowledge itself + acknowledge of the differentiating sources + add for the merchandise from the leftovers

literally my paranoia when explaining anything to anyone. I know that i will never be right and someone will always prove me wrong in the future as more is learned through longer experimentation and research. If i seem uncertain it is because nothing is and it gives me anxiety the size of a ultra-massive black hole.

At first I thought this video was adorable, I never realized how small black holes actually were, and then the video decided to make me feel things I wasn't prepared for...

Can we all appreciate the quality of this INSANE Animation? They keep getting better with every Video

And the music is just.. I'm scared and emotional already ffs

First of all, the videos on the different types of stars and objects in our universe are some of the best ever created (in my humble opinion), so thank you for making these for humanity to learn and appreciate what we’ve actually been able to prove as a species and to all the great thinkers out there that have contributed to discovery. I did have a specific question for you or anyone involved in the making of this video. I’m curious as to what measurement was used when talking about being able to fit our solar system inside of these mind boggling, sized black holes. The estimates for the outer edges of the Oort Cloud range from 10,000 to 100,000 AU from the Sun. According to NASA, all 5 of the satellites that will eventually get there will have their power sources die centuries before even reaching the inner edge, roughly estimated to be between 2,000 to 5,000 AU from the Sun. Or was a different measurement of distance used?

Is a black hole—the matter itself— infinitely small? When they say a black hole has a certain size, I think they might be referring to the event horizon.

@Aashish Bharadwaj But are we sure that the whole event horizon is not filled with singularities? Or rather, one singularity that has filled the whole event horizon by being in every spot within it (at the same time, because time does not pass within the event horizon, as there is no proper time existing within it)?

@- Griggers - it's not unknown. We "know" (though I'm not sure how) that it collapses to a singularity.

Exactly

They are indeed. It's 10000% impossible to know how big the singularity inside each black hole actually is. It's easier to eat your own head than having something escaping a black hole. So yeah, they are comparing them using the event horizon. (Yes technically with Hawkin's effect, some particules are able to leave the black hole but it will take at least 10^150 years before it becomes visible so not very important loss)

@Sploof Mcsterra the blackholes Event Horizon gets bigger cus it's gravitational pull increases with every atom added to it.. every mass is compressed in the blackhole to an unimaginable infinitely small size however gravity still follows its fundamental concept that more mass=more gravity hence the event horizon gets bigger everytime a blackhole consumes something cus the region where light gets absorbed is further away from the singularity

The weirdest thing i’ve heard today is that a tiny blackhole named “unicorn” is bullying a star many times the mass of our sun

It's a typo. The real name is Unicron, and he is looking for the matrix of leadership

@Factnomenal Lmao! I'm going to steal your dad joke

@Actin and is gonna get eat anyway

Cool fact: Black Holes can lose weight easily, because they're light eaters.

FEAR THE SMOL ONES

Sometimes when I hear black hole's sizes being discussed it's tough to know if they're talking about the mass or it's physical area of the event horizon.

@FuciMiNaKule I'm not necessarily talking specifically here, in general.

I mean it depends on the units used. When he says solar mass then he obviously means mass, and when he compares it to the solar system then it's clearly the diameter (so neither volume nor "area", black holes have no area). You can see it in the video.

These are same dude 😂

@tim white ???

@Suiginryou Hitaiga I'm not talking about the singularity vs event horizon, I'm referring to area vs volume.

it just sounds so unreal. we are in a world that is Infinite. So scary and enormous but also so amazing and beautiful. Just imagining how humans might be able to travel to all these amazing places with all these amazing sights just gives me the biggest smile. Words can not describe how wonderful this universe is.

@Lil Ricky yeah i know. i mean just imagining it gives me a smirk

Not really. Our human life span is so short that we most likely will never be able to travel to these places because of distances. Kurzgesagt made a video about it. Look up the video "The final border" on their channel.

I’m going to be honest this video is probably one of the channels best. It’s described so well and creates that wow factor.

Ok but all the effort and animation put into these videos is phenomenal, keep up the good work!

Hearing that dark matter could be microscopic black holes that are nearly as old as the universe itself was a mind blow that I wasn't prepared for.

A man of culture I see

@C̸͙̆h̵̰̿a̶̲̳͑ó̶͖̌s̴̯̏́ lots of people like science

If this is true the why are we not sucked in, or we are inside and universe are actually black holes inside…

When a gaming channel appears in a science channel: hmmmm suspicious apprence

_*that nobody was prepared for_

Its hard to even imagine. Such a huge size that it covers the entire night sky . I think I will pass out just by imaging its unfathomable size and mass.

This video is so incredible and also incomprehensible at the same time, and I love it. Kind of wish we had more movies about how incredible space is, but I guess that’s more risky than making another generic action or drama movie. Maybe one day.

10:40, This is the most bone chilling scene Kurzgegast has ever made. This scene and the whole video made the comparison of these huge sizes clear and understandable. Just this scene alone get me the chills every rewatch of this video I do. It’s crazy

The final border video have the same level of goodness

You didn't listen to the last part didn't you?

"Kurzgegast" xD reminds me of old nazi germany XDDDDDD

I love the way the stars are animated, the circles and fiery blobs look so cool :0

I really like how, in my short 37 years, black holes basically went from complete SciFi fantasy objects to being real things that have been found and are currently being studied. It's truly an amazing time to be alive.

@Void 1 then we wouldn't have a good internet, games, a better understanding of most everything, plus it also depends where on the 80s because wars and tragedy didn't dissapear back then, I don't wanna sound like an ass but you're talking with nostalgia.

It’s easy to lose hope in humans and think how stupid we are but when you really put into perspective just how much we have learnt in SUCH a small time, it’s a bit hopeful :)

@Brian Diehl I’m curious to know where you get that. Using just data from the US (it’s what I’ve seen most recently) the percentage of the population that self identifies as a “none” is climbing year on year and that isn’t expected to change. Why else would the fundies panic so badly as to support people who advocate violence in service of their world view? You don’t do that if you think you’ll just get what you want by waiting. I suspect that you’re wrong.

@Mention Ethan The percent of people that are atheists are expected to go down though

@Grimm dont worry the new BlackHole Telescope (Apple Edition) which can take pictures of blackholes will be coming to us in about 700 years

Black holes are amazing. I would love to study more into them. I find them fascinating Like I think it would be a little exciting for something to go wrong and our earth being absorbed into a black hole. So many mysteries could be solved and either we would all die or get to experience what inside a black hole is like. (Most likely we would die, but we don't know what actually would happen)

I love how beautiful they animate stars and galaxies, I want to see more of these space videos just for the graphics

The most important thing is their information and the graphics second but it's true graphics are suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper good

Even if I am watching this video on the side of doing something else, when Ton 618 and the final comparison start, I can't help but have my eyes glued to your amazing work. Thank you so much!

The last part of this video bought you guys a lot of respect and credibility, really appreciate it.

We can appreciate 3 interesting details here: - Kurzgesagt is amazing at doing this. - The universe is really scary, but beautiful and fascinating. - Scientists are awful at naming things.

well, TON 618 was discovered by the Tonantzintla Observatory, and it was the 618th entry in the Tonantzintla Catalogue -- Ton 618, Wikipedia

The Universe is neither scary nor beautiful or fascinating.. the universe is neutral.. just us human beings see those things in our mindset as scary or beautiful... like the life is also not bad or good.. life/earth is neutral we, as humans see the life/earth trough our mind(mindset) as a good place or bad place.. as a good life or bad life.. just sayin man..... but yes, scientists are awful at naming things lol

Your Mom 618

Naming asteroids after minor greek mythological entities was alright for the first 400 or so, but now we know hundreds of thousands of the things.

When you have so many things to name, you run out of clever ones pretty quickly.

God as much as I love these videos, it's terrifying to learn just how insignificant we are and how quickly anything out there can easily chew us up and spit us out.

As educational as the content is, and as beautifully animated, can we all just take a moment to appreciate the soundtrack? The crescendo at 10:45 gave me goosebumps!

You guys are so crazy cool. In the midst of all uncertainties and the constraints, you guys still pushed trough the limit with this beautiful, mind-blowing video. As i watched, i thought i couldn't get more impressed but oh no was i wrong.

I love this channel so much its super intresting listening to them talk about our universe and its actually fun to watch stuff like this ngl

The "Behind the Scenes" portion is the best thing ever. Thank you for treating us like adults. Reality is complicated.

@0TickPulse eh 99% is an exaggeration. some theories are preferred simply because its the one people are aware of the most

@Freddy Kruger once again theories are like 99% proven. I don’t want to argue anymore because it’s really dumb. Have a good day

@Freddy Kruger there’s a difference between theories and random guessing… if you haven’t noticed scientists don’t just randomly guess stuff and call it a day

Love how they openly admitted to holding experts hostage for the sake of our entertainment and education

I know the animation and research put on to this is phenomenal but so is the music! It's so emotional and powerful.

Watching these videos I can never fully wrap my mind around the idea of size in the universe.

Watching this kind of video is so much fun! Incredible animation too!

As an astrophysicist who's done his PhD in precisely this topic, I wanted to commend you on the content and on the scripting of your video. It's not only very *very* scientifically accurate, but also very clear and well explained, without entering in unnecessary details and keeping it entertaining. I loved it!

What about the part where they reference two black holes merging, *17* Billion light years away? Older than the age of the universe.

@Juan Barrera idk i heard it was 16 billion years old, and that was a few years ago so you know. time flies by.

Good to hear. Also, congrats on your PhD on such a topic

I have a question, how is the light from black hole TON 618 reaching us from 18 billion light years away if our universe is only around 14 billion years old?? Or are we seeing how that black hole looked like 18 billion years ago meaning our universe is older than we thought??????

@Ezequiel Marchesini this video says we are not sure how the bigger black holes formed and 1 probable process was through the qauisai stars and that too maybe if quaisai stars existed, so let's assume this one is not the correct explanation what other possible options there are that these blackhole could have grown to this size?

5:55 really makes me feel im staring at a giant black hole from earth, and it makes a really good atmosphere

I love how the depiction from my childhood has expanded and changed from a simple black marble to this beautiful accretion disk.

This makes our brains even more amazing. Something the size of I don't know what compared to these black holes, but complicated enough to be a universe of itself.

I love this video for so many reasons, not only that Kurzgesagt make some damn amazing videos, share so much informative content but the music that goes with their videos. Especially this one! Just emphasises so much the size and sheer scale of what is out there compared to not only us but what is local to us and out own place in the universe.

I massively appreciate the behind the "lies" segment. Science at this level is not simple and whilst it helps general audiences appreciate the basics by simplifying information, it is also really important to understand how complicated a question like "how big is a black hole" really is. Great video. Excellent work.

Uij

@SakuyaPie if it is only 1%, how do we know it's only 1%?

Its not as big as your mom gotem

Very deep insight, thanks

I come to this video once in a while to remember how all of our lives and problems are so insignificant and small compared to the things in universe.

Suddenly my problems seem pretty small in comparison. Granted they still appear pretty large in my mind, but my sense of scale has been permanently altered. It's impossible not to believe everything else including my problems are microscopically small in comparison.

Crazy to think we aren’t even a grain of sand on the grand scale of the universe…

The primary thing I took away from this is that out solar system is way larger than I thought it was.

THE MUSIC WITH THE SIZE COMPARISON AT THE END WAS SO INTENSE

Yes

I still tear up come that final size comparison 😢

@ACR Stephenson 2-18 is bigger than UY SCUTI lmao

U have full right to write this in all caps!

Yes. So true pete

I can learn a lot by watching ur videos,keep up the good work!

TERRIFIC video! Loved the visuals, the sounds ... felt like I was actually floating in space :D

9:15 Me: That have’s to be the biggest thing in the universe! 9:36 Why do i hear boss music?

It’s hard to imagine something bigger than the sun.

13 minutes of “This isn’t even my final form”

@Pmccann ‘ Yes, since that thing doesnt exist

13 minutes of seeing comments like these that make me realize just how disastrously stupid/incompetent people are in regards to actually creating humorous jokes.

@Pmccann ‘ yes, yes they are. Goku was imagined by humans. This is what was observed and our brains aren't capable of actually understanding the scales

@gamers55 L

@Pmccann ‘ well they beat any version of goku on dbz

Thanks for the round clarification because I don't know of any object that's truly round. Look at a bubble float down as it falls it flexes and wobbles. Look at clips of astronauts experimenting with water in LEO and how the water wobbles. I theorize that the Earth as it moves around the Sun also flexes like that just on a scale undetectable unless the tectonic plates buckle.

Someone needs to tell the universe that some of these back holes are overkill at this point

The fact that it's so hard to truly grasp the size of the Sun compared to the size of the Earth and then you show black holes that have the same size difference, but on a different scale is literally insane to me. We spend a few hours to circle the Earth, but even a small portion of the "pole" of a super massive black hole is enough to to fit Jupiter several times not to mention the Sun. Afaik the Sun's gravity is 250 G, may br Jupiter's idk, but a black hole like that should have so many Gs that it's impossible to do anything other than melt from friction

It doesn’t hurt my brain it literally breaks it… I freeze for a few seconds when I try to imagine something so massive

The musical score was absolutely awesome. It gave the entire video a real sense of 𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑣𝑖𝑡𝑦.

Yes. *Gravity*

@Соɾу ℛ. why

please leave

What a STELLAR joke.

Nice one

Is it bad that this doesn’t frighten me at all. I find it kinda beautiful

It still blows my mind how talking about the universe numbers like 17 trillion light years is used. When I was young, I’d try to count just to try to gain an appreciation for how large somethings were. And Wgen greyhound used to offer a 3 month bus pass traveled all around to get a better idea how huge the USA was. How many cultures, people, groups, towns, plains, farms etc were. Once in northern GA, I saw a sign in Spanish, followed the road down and found a huge community where I heard next to no English. Yeah the USA doesn’t have a national language but American English is a thing. But I adore the number of dialects. The difficulty for some in northern Louisiana would have a hard time communicating with a guy with a thick Boston or Pittsburgh accent both using their slangs, heavy accents without using effort to understand the other. People do make the effort to understand each other obviously, but there are some who can’t.

"one of the brightest event in universe comes from the darkest " its fascinating

I love how we know so much about the universe but still haven't had a human land on mars

So in the grand scheme of things, paying my taxes doesn’t matter.

You’re not 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘥 enough to consider the 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘥 scheme of things.

Does that also apply to living? It doesn't matter

In the grand scheme of your life, it does matter.

EXACTLY 💯

@heptitius_b in the grand scheme of things the acommaony doesn’t matter

"we only see what it looked like 10 billion years ago" . I wonder how massive it is right now

The most precious part of this video is the end bit... It is the honest grounding in limits of our understanding and clumsiness in expressing it You're up there in my hero-list...thanks

Also, we cannot ever receive the light from a distance where everything recedes faster than the speed of light, because the universe is expanding. It is as if the universe is surrounded by a black wall.

Thats my mind well and truly blown. I find that anytime I watch anything about the universe the numbers involved quickly become so unfathomably massive that they lose all meaning. My brain simply cannot keep up.

0:27: I love how, in the intro, the monkey is holding a coin. The monkey is holding something related to the video, and Kurzgesagt had a video from a while back about if a black hole the size of a coin suddenly appeared. The attention to detail is simply amazing.

With our technology, we just barely started to understand the universe. There's no doubt there are lots of things we can't know about black holes for decades or maybe for centuries. Our observations are limited from the perspective of the world we live and stuck in. If our technology advances enough to send probes to these black holes most likely we'll learn that much of our knowledge has been wrong for a long time. Still, trying to understand with minimum information and observation is much better than ignorance.

Good points. So far, all we really know for sure is that black holes *exist.* Until just now, they have pretty much only been theoretical and almost on the level of science-fiction. But now we finally have images and direct evidence that black holes are real. As far as I know, this is the first time that we have hard evidence that black holes exist. Now imagine next if somehow astronomers can get proof of wormholes! THAT would really be crazy!

How does the event horizon of these things grow so large, while the singularity inside, despite it's mass remain the size of an atom? Or have they changed the theory of this once again?

another excellent video is it just me, or is the animation really improved previous vids?

That "Behind the Lies" segment was fantastic, really cool to have a little insight into your research, and a great way to make me even more excited for the engineering physics course I'm going to start taking in October

@Sakura bro serch Aditya Rathore he is very good journalist

@Arati Rao thanks!

@Sakura 🟤SERCH ADITYA RATHORE, HE ALSO MAKES INFORMATIVE CONTENT LIKE KURZGESAGT

Omg good luck! That sounds really cool

good luck! physics is not my thing at all, hope you can keep the enthusiasm for long!

I know that you guys used Special and General Relativity to make this video. The Schwarzchild radius which you calculated is definitely not exact, but it's ok. I don't think there was any human who ever existed and calculated the Schwarzchild radius with 100% precision. This is also why Quantum Physics and Relativity never wanna sync with each other.

While we don't actually know what "dark matter" is per se, we do know that it isn't microscopic black holes. The thing about "dark matter" is that we infer it's existence based on the rate at which many galaxies rotate. Most rotate far too quickly/evenly based strictly on the visible matter we observe. We call it "dark" because we don't know what it is (only that it adds significant gravitational influence) and it seems to not interact with visible matter. It doesn't seem to even interact with itself much outside of tenuously gathering loosely near massive galaxies. If this were caused by microscopic black holes, they would interact with each other through gravity and cause millions/billions of mergers. Those would become a much greater, single object which would interact with everything around it in very specific ways.

Don't use the term "we" when you're say this stuff. If you didn't research it, replace it with "I believe". PBH dark matter halos have recently been a breakthrough in science especially when studying mergers. We may not know what it is, but PBHs are a very plausible explanation. Lots of studies have put the idea of non baryonic matter in the place of the ellipsoidal/spherical halo when studying mergers and it has led to a few key details in our understanding of gravitational radiation. I would provide a source but youtube doesn't like the link.

I struggle to comprehend how big these are due to not having a true comparison I can visually and physically see. That's terrifying..

Can you do a video on evidence for/against the theory that our universe was birthed from a black hole?

These videos hurt my brain. I love it.

So you’re telling me that oversimplification hurts your brain

@Deathstroke me?

What? I had a subscribe on you? Unsubscribe! Bye

@Goblin Slayer urs too

T e c h s w a g

I must have the black hole plushie!!! I hope it comes back soon! Also, very well done, this is amazing!

What if we are all inside beyond imaginable black hole and that's what keeps everything together and compact in a single point 🤔

Another immeasurable and unimaginable thing is the epicness of this video.

Theres an infinite universe we can never see... its hard to imagine what could be out there

@idontwannatypeaname heaven

imagine earth 2 but tikok wasn't invented yet

The art direction and music were nothing short of perfect. When the music reached its crescendo during the King of Kings reveal, I got chills. Goddy classical music paired with science is one of my favorite combos 💚

@JsXr8 mi know your not talking to me but I like idk

I know… I think the only other thing that made me feel like that are the legendary Red vs Blue fights.

God is dead, we have found a greater source of awe, And it’s is fearful.

@Skissers oh you really got him with that one! Humanity wishes it was as capable as you are at roasting people.

You must like interstellar then, eh? 😏

If you where immune to the effects of gravity, what would it feel like to touch the event horizon?

Physics and by that extension human perception break down completely when you get close to a black hole. They literally bend time and space.

Well, from your point of view, nothing! You wouldn't even be able to tell if you've crossed the horizon without calculations. There would be complete darkness but a tiny point above your head that is or rather "was" the outside world.

I still thank Interstellar for changing how the media represents black holes. The more accurate "Saturn" like accretion disk with the gravitational lensing on the sides replaced the old black 2 dimensional vortex that most media used to show.

Bearing in mind "gravity’s relative weakness simply by using an ordinary bar magnet to pick up paper clips from a desk. Battling the gravitational pull of all of Earth, the tiny magnet wins! In fact, gravity is a staggering 10 40 times weaker than electromagnetism". I have often wondered if you had 2 black holes made purely of electrons (so both as negatively charged as possible), would it ever be possible for them to merge or would the repulsive forces be far stronger than the gravitational forces? As a follow on to this question, if you had a highly charged super-massive black hole and your space ship crossed the event horizon could you leave the black hole simply by generating a strong enough repulsive force (the same magnetic charge as the black hole) because after all magnetism is so much stronger than gravity?

@Matthew Griffin all good points, in my hypothetical black hole I don't think you need to 'know' the way out, the magnetic field should simply repel you away from center of charge. I had thought about the 1/r and 1/r² relationships and thought that might be the answer to this but I've just never heard people talk about charge in a black hole very much so I don't know.

@Philtography - Cotswold Wedding Photographer Well besides that, there is the issue of not knowing which way is out, as inside space-time is too distorted to actually get away from the center. There is also the problem of gravity having a longer range than electromagnetism in terms of its field. Funny enough gravity is the dominant force in astronomical scales and the weakest at atomic. Mostly because the nature of electromagnetic charges work to reduce each other, resulting in the field strength weakening faster than gravity would at that range.

@Matthew Griffin Yeah that is why I chose a super/ultra massive blackhole as actually the tidal forces at the event horizon are really not very much at all, on a ship you wouldn't even know you had crossed over.

This is assuming the ship hasn't been ripped apart by the blackholes sheer gravitational field.

I need a "Black holes explained" video that explains everything about it and makes the user understand and not to think about how they work anymore

This makes me kind of realize not only is our Universe incredibly large in scale, but our science is most likely just in its infancy in fully understanding it.

You need to know this: Jesus will be here soon. Are you ready?

@Elon Simp well, yeah but after a Google research, I found that the universe can actually be finite because it’s not infinitely old. It’s 13.8 billion years old. So, light has had 13.8 billion yrs to travel. I guess the universe ends 13.8 billion light years away😆

@Frank Almanzar infinity?

I like when he said “this black hole is so far away, we only see what it looked like 10 billion years ago.” Really puts into perspective the infinity of space and I guess time.

It’s not even in its infancy yet. In fact, I would say the sperm hasn’t even combined with the egg yet.

2:41 According to conservation of momentum, shouldn't the black hole and its companion star be on opposite sides relative to their orbital center?

Scariest thing is that we don’t even know what they look like in reality. We only get a picture of what they looked like in the past because they are so many light years away

The collapse-and-expansion animation just before the 2-minute mark seems simple and basic; but I'm very fond of it for some reason.

Are primordial black holes always small? My understanding was supermassive black holes could be primordial, forming as very dense regions of the primordial soup cool and collapse into million/billion solar mass black holes - around which the first galaxies formed. Touched on in A Brief History of Time I believe.

I really liked the “behind the *lies” bit at the end. I think that’s important for us to hear.

Jesus Christ is coming soon. Are you ready?

@Thocka Ever heard of the NIGHT SKY?? Stop playing league of legends or something and actually experience real life

All the Babylonians completely distracted with the Bread and Circuses.

The music for this vid was absolute FIRE. Amazingly well done, especially the crescendo at 10:44 til end. CHILLS

To think something immensely bigger in size would be needed to make an ultramassive black hole

"The largest star" video have a "majestic" feeling, makes me feel amazed, and somewhat happy, at how the big the universe is. Now, this one... Makes me feel tiny, useless, scared at how incomprehensibly large the universe can be.

this is so good i had constant chills through this video
