Professor Dave, that’s the best H-R diagram description I’ve ever seen! Most H-R discussions are simply temperature vs mass explanations. You correctly make it a “roadmap” for the life of high/low mass stars. Even textbooks I’ve read don’t make that connection.

This is incredibly helpful for my astronomy class this summer. You managed to take around 4 weeks of information, with all lecture videos coming to a total of about 5 hours, and condensed it into a much more comprehensive video with better visuals that is under 20 minutes. Absolutely amazing and I thank you so much for this.
ZaWakingEagle except for the part where he says that a black holes center has infinite density because some scientists believe it may be the plank length and not a single point
@@Human-gu2cx I googled what you were talking about. I think for the sake of reaching the audience of interest, defining the concentration of mass at a single point is an ok simplification since the plank length is so small. Taking a pretty large mass and dividing it by that extremely small plank length would cause the density to skyrocket to an insane number. thoughts?
They just want a simple explanation of everything. It’s way easier to say “it was all created by a god / the gods”, than actually trying to understand it all.
what a moronic statement. Science is wrong all the time, so how are you defining "denial"? Its just disagreeing till theres evidence that its incorrect, which happens quite often. In this topic, where we know so very little through direct evidence, skepticism is a necessity
I think this is aimed at kids, and despite being an adult with a lifelong interest in science and astronomy and having an above-average level knowledge of both, I find these videos extremely entertaining and chocked full of facts I had forgotten or didn't even know in the first place.

You are a saint. In school in order to graduate we need to make scientific paper about any subject that interests uns and I chose stars.

(Also the way you narrate is extremely fun and engaging) I hope you have cold pillow for the rest of your life, that you are happy and successful and may life grant you all your wishes.
This is the best explanation that I've looked for in what happens with the atoms actually, when the mass is contracting that much, first atom pushing atom, then an huge nucleus of neutrons, then a black hole. Now I've figured out finally all, generally speaking. Thank you, that's light in my head now.
Plus Professor Dave is excellent at explaining complicated concepts in an easy to understand fashion... not a lot of people can manage that... especially without being patronising...my man is a star, pardon the pun...
Professor dave I'm a teacher and I've got to hand it to you. You do such a good job simplifying difficult ideas that it's beautiful to see as well as being informative and enjoyable. Rock on :)))))
This is the best explanation of the death of stars I have so far seen on youtube. I was always confused about supernovae, neutron stars and black hole formation. Now I feel I know a lot more and am less confused. Thank you so much for this informative video.
Thanks.this is the first video on RUclips which gives complete information about star formation,their life and death. I requested many RUclipsr to make videos on this topic

That was incredibly fascinating and easily the best explanation I've seen for the formation and life cycle of the main planetary objects. You make it all very intuitive. 👍
there is a lot more that going on in between these fusions cycles into new elements, also there is a difference luminescence between type of starts as well as the temperature they are burned at. however this is very good concise information on very lengthy and somewhat complicated topic. great job!
I have an Astronomy class this semester and the students teach each other so I am happy I could find someone to help me teach (not really me but 🤫) so thank you. 😂✌️

Was literally looking for a video that explains this topic in depth..but my expectations were not meant to be fulfilled until I found this video🙌🏻thanks for sharing this video..
With the knowledge researched for this video and subsequently put out by it we can now be truly humble in the face of our maker, that turns out not to be a Who but a very long natural process.

I was wondering - if the universe fell back and collapsed and expanded into / out of another big bang - could / would chemistry and physics be different that time? Or the distribution between matter and antimatter?
Not me. The theory of relativity breaks down at the center of a black hole. People like to say "infinite density", including this video, but what actually happens is unknown, and the theory of relativity does not provide the answer. Black holes are fascinating phenomena and we are circling one right now! But it is not infinitely dense. It has a known mass and a known volume as well. Why not just calculate the density from that?
@@RetroPianoGuy Because all the mass of the black hole is on the singularity, which is infinitly small (planck length). How do you calculate density of something infinitly small =)
13:38f > _This object is called a black hole._ No, it's called _the singularity of_ a black hole. The black hole itself is the inner part of the point masse's gravitational field which is divided from the rest of spacetime by an event horizon. Note that this is just the simplest case of a SCHWARZSCHILD black hole which doesn't rotate which most black holes will.
I know you are dumbing it down for others but red dwarfs (the most common star) won't super Nova or even nova but they will live the longest and fizzle down like a piece of charcoal.
@@danyaverplak8910 Define "near" Sufficiently close, the tidal effects (the satellite bit closest to the start experiences a *lot* more gravity that the furthest bit) to shred it to a spagetti of dust.
One thing I found missing was that when star produce Fe in the centre the Iron starts to absorb the energy of the star which is needed in the war with the gravity that is not to collapse .So Iron is a star killer ! And because of it Star have to use all its resources to be alive that is making so much energy that it can't hold and go BANG!
Pretty good. Of course there were a few over-simplifications, which make it easier to understand for the people that can't do the math. For example, proton + electron --> neutron is not so much the electron being swallowed by the proton, as it is the energy of the electron being used to flip a quark in the proton, via the weak force. Well done on the stellar burning cycle yielding said elements. And Chandra was a terrible driver. I almost hit his car getting off Lake Shore Drive on the way to school. I think it was a black Mercedes. I love the story of his work on stellar nucleosynthesis. As he was mapping stellar spectra (every nuclear reaction has a distinct spectra), there was one spectra that didn't match up with any of the known reaction. Not one to be wrong, since he was sure that reaction had to be there, he dug up the original nuclear physics paper, and found a mathematical error. Correcting the math, the reaction fell perfectly in place. So much for that student's thesis defense comity. Oh the embarrassment!
Whats ironic... I came here because of a misclick... and I stayed for the content. Truly fine work with this video bud. My hats off... and you just earned my sub too!
How are people not utterly breathtaken by astronomy? I'm glad I spent my childhood looking through a telescope and wanting to study the universe with my own eyes. Flat earthers clearly haven't done so enough.
Nah, they rather believe whatever they don't understand just makes no sense, and if it doesn't make sense to them it can't be right... and then imagine everything to be made of nothing but light, and all the beautiful special sky-lights must be very close to us because we're so goddamn special! That's why they can't accept the sun, moon and stars are millions and billions of miles away... It would make them feel a lot less special... They can't handle their own insignificance! So they keep telling themselves how special and important they are... I'm not familiar with psychology, but it could be some sort "defense mechanism" to avoid having an existential crysis.
You explain everything so well... yet i suck at science and still find myself confused. If ive understood correctly, our sun isnt large enough to create a supernova? Other questions i have if anyone knows: 1) How powerful is a supernova? 2) How far does a supernova reach? What is a safe distance from one? Assuming previous answers are in terms of exponents and/or light years... 3) What would a supernova destroy? 4) How far away is a light year?
Took astronomy in college and remember thinking to myself the idea of infinity. If we do not know or understand the boundaries of the universe, then who is to say it isn’t infinite? That there aren’t several universes within the infinite, and there being several planes of depth. It is a hard concept to grasp, but I’ll take it.
This was very well explained. The images and animations you used to show it was "STELLAR." Get it? Overall, great video. You earned a new subscriber. Your videos are neat, and I feel like I could show these to my science teacher. Thank you.
Thanks a lot .... I am 14 and still ur explanation convinced me even though I wasn't aware of alot ..... literally thanks dude ...I needed this info for My NAC(National Astronomy Challenge) exam in india ❤️❤️....
what you forgot to mention is that as the stars core shrinks more and more, centripetal force is gained where as a black hole it is spinning near the speed of light
It is really helpful professor 🙏🏻... I am preparing for international space Olympiad and your video is the most satisfying and really really understandable video... Thank you sir...

@@RetroPianoGuy Because all the mass of the black hole is on the singularity, which is infinitly small (planck length). How do you calculate density of something infinitly small =)
u are a genius. i saw billions videos abt stellar evolution but no one explained it like u
13:38f > _This object is called a black hole._
No, it's called _the singularity of_ a black hole. The black hole itself is the inner part of the point masse's gravitational field which is divided from the rest of spacetime by an event horizon.
Note that this is just the simplest case of a SCHWARZSCHILD black hole which doesn't rotate which most black holes will.
The centers of spinning black holes are called ringularities. 😉
And now we have 'white holes'.
Oo...thank u sir...u can teach far better than our school teachers...once again thank u very much
I know you are dumbing it down for others but red dwarfs (the most common star) won't super Nova or even nova but they will live the longest and fizzle down like a piece of charcoal.
what happens if you fly a satellite near a white dwarfs orbit?
@@danyaverplak8910 Define "near"
Sufficiently close, the tidal effects (the satellite bit closest to the start experiences a *lot* more gravity that the furthest bit) to shred it to a spagetti of dust.
One thing I found missing was that when star produce Fe in the centre the
Iron starts to absorb the energy of the star which is needed in the war with the gravity that is not to collapse .So Iron is a star killer ! And because of it Star have to use all its resources to be alive that is making so much energy that it can't hold and go BANG!
Pretty good. Of course there were a few over-simplifications, which make it easier to understand for the people that can't do the math. For example, proton + electron --> neutron is not so much the electron being swallowed by the proton, as it is the energy of the electron being used to flip a quark in the proton, via the weak force. Well done on the stellar burning cycle yielding said elements.
And Chandra was a terrible driver. I almost hit his car getting off Lake Shore Drive on the way to school. I think it was a black Mercedes. I love the story of his work on stellar nucleosynthesis. As he was mapping stellar spectra (every nuclear reaction has a distinct spectra), there was one spectra that didn't match up with any of the known reaction. Not one to be wrong, since he was sure that reaction had to be there, he dug up the original nuclear physics paper, and found a mathematical error. Correcting the math, the reaction fell perfectly in place. So much for that student's thesis defense comity. Oh the embarrassment!
Whats ironic... I came here because of a misclick... and I stayed for the content.
Truly fine work with this video bud. My hats off... and you just earned my sub too!
Thanks for this awesome video! One question , though: the “horizontal branch” doesn’t look very horizontal. How did it get that name?
Best structured and most instructive video I've seen on this topic. Thank you very much!
How are people not utterly breathtaken by astronomy? I'm glad I spent my childhood looking through a telescope and wanting to study the universe with my own eyes. Flat earthers clearly haven't done so enough.
Nah, they rather believe whatever they don't understand just makes no sense, and if it doesn't make sense to them it can't be right... and then imagine everything to be made of nothing but light, and all the beautiful special sky-lights must be very close to us because we're so goddamn special!
That's why they can't accept the sun, moon and stars are millions and billions of miles away... It would make them feel a lot less special... They can't handle their own insignificance! So they keep telling themselves how special and important they are...
I'm not familiar with psychology, but it could be some sort "defense mechanism" to avoid having an existential crysis.
You explain everything so well... yet i suck at science and still find myself confused. If ive understood correctly, our sun isnt large enough to create a supernova?
Other questions i have if anyone knows:
1) How powerful is a supernova?
2) How far does a supernova reach? What is a safe distance from one?
Assuming previous answers are in terms of exponents and/or light years...
3) What would a supernova destroy?
4) How far away is a light year?
Explaining level : 100%
Interesting level : 100%
Understood level : 10%
Repeating the video for nth time ;-)
Took astronomy in college and remember thinking to myself the idea of infinity. If we do not know or understand the boundaries of the universe, then who is to say it isn’t infinite? That there aren’t several universes within the infinite, and there being several planes of depth. It is a hard concept to grasp, but I’ll take it.
That was the best explained video I have seen. Well done you made it easier for some of us to understand all this stuff. Worth subscribing to 👍
inspired and proud for the real star of our country, Sir Chandrasekhar. Love from india
"lets kill some stars"
*insert intro*
Hahahaahaha.
what dont kill the our sun
This video hooked me to your channel. Thanks for providing such in depth knowledge :) . Also I love your intro songs and animation.
Professor Dave again, let's k i l l s o m e s t a r s.
I just started the video, and I don't know what's next, but I was shocked ny the "Professor Dave again, Let's kill some stars !"
This was very well explained. The images and animations you used to show it was "STELLAR."
Get it? Overall, great video. You earned a new subscriber. Your videos are neat, and I feel like I could show these to my science teacher. Thank you.
Thanks a lot ....
I am 14 and still ur explanation convinced me even though I wasn't aware of alot ..... literally thanks dude ...I needed this info for My NAC(National Astronomy Challenge) exam in india ❤️❤️....
why do kids need to specify their age all the time, its fucking annoying
GREETINGS FROM INDIA.
I'm from India.
ME TOO!!!!!!!
what you forgot to mention is that as the stars core shrinks more and more, centripetal force is gained where as a black hole it is spinning near the speed of light
me:*sees thumbnail*
also me:EVOLUTIONS?
It is really helpful professor 🙏🏻... I am preparing for international space Olympiad and your video is the most satisfying and really really understandable video... Thank you sir...
13:40 "this is called a Black Hole!"
So that's how my ex-girlfriend's heart was made?
Your ex had a heart !?. That must have been nice ??.
My ex is probably a black hole, she's very attractive.
@@Silhouex Im starting to suspect i may have drawn the short straw in the girlfriend stakes !?...
