I've been watching these on my phone before going to sleep lately and there's something oddly relaxing about them. Merry Christmas and keep up the fascinating work!
collision of black holes would kill everything in long range and it creates gravitional waves. We discovered gravitional waves this year, I mean 2016. It was created in collision of two black holes.
The reason why there are roche limits is because the satellite (moon, planet, planetoid, etc.) is close enough to a large enough body that the gravity is unevenly distributed across the surface of the satellite, meaning it is stronger on one side than the other. This, in turn, pulls it apart.
Raptor22 that's assuming it orbits fast enough so that there is centrifugal force acting nn it aswell and gravity is stronger on each parts across the diameter.of the moon, mainly if the object is big enough too that's why you are left Sith asteroid rings and why satellites don't bust (unless they orbit really fast)
These videos are so much fun. And yes, the community growing around these videos is amazing. I am learning a lot from the videos and the comments. As for the accent. My mum was from Greystones, I don't even notice the accent, lol.
I love this stuff! I keep racking my brain trying to figure out an interesting scenario and I think I have one: What would happen if the planets orbited 10 times faster than their current speeds? 100 times? 1000 times?
Yes, the Roche limit is the reason why the gas giants have a ring system instead of moons under that radius. The gravitational perturbations keep agitating and fracturing any accumulation of large masses. It's also why you don't often see gas giants in low orbits around stars, so-called hot Jupiters bloat up from the heat, lowering their density, and the star's radiation pressure and gravity strips them of their gas until only their rocky/metallic core remains.
I love your videos! Most people want you to destroy stuff, which is still cool, but what if you could could make something.Maybe like a star out of a nebula, or a planet out of smaller stellar bodies. I think watching the process would be really neat.
Don't worry about talking "too much." You're pleasant and fun to listen to. Best Irish accent too haha. Great video yet again. Merry Xmas and Happy New Year back at ya! :)
Interesting stuff. You have placed a Moon-sized object inside the Roche limit and had it in a stable orbit at a constant distance from the Earth. You could make it even more interesting by: --having a similar object approach the Earth DIRECTLY at various speeds. As it approached, the 'Moon' would begin to disintegrate slowly, but the tidal effects would increase as it got nearer. I believe (depending, of course, on the speed) it would break up at an accelerating rate. I think this would mean that various size debris fragments would impact the Earth. If the 'Moon' was approaching extremely fast, it might be able to hold together long enough to get a massive, single collision for the simulation. --experimenting with differing compositions for the 'Moon' to see how it held together. Try a sold iron object, for example. Should be fascinating. Another idea. Try a very small black hole orbiting very close to the Earth. It would begin to attract the Earth's atmosphere, but that might be all that would happen. The end result might be a black hole orbiting an airless Earth but with increased tectonic activity. I wonder how the Earth's gravity would affect the black hole in terms of its shape.
Love the new intro! Keep up the good work! Also what do you plan on doing for your upcoming 5K special? Try shaking things up a bit and do something spectacular!
The tidal forces that rip apart the moon in this video is due to the moon being inside what is called the Roche Limit. And to answer your question, yes it is responsible at least in part (in conjunction with additional collisions) for the rings around some planets.
I just came across your channel and i'm blown away. I love what you are doing here, it is awesome. I don't know if you take requests but What if a Neutron Star passed through the heart of our solar system on a collision course with the sun starting from beyond pluto?
Awesome videos! Here are some of my questions you might consider for future videos: 1. What if Earth was not tilted on its axis and instead was straight? 2. What if Earth was twice as big? 3. What would happen if you interchanged Mars and Earth orbit with one another? Thanks!
i like your vids u dont go crazy with the talking like other chanels and such or make extreme fake things love it and i like all the info that you give :)
I'm not a scientist ( yet ;v; ) but i have a theory, Our planet would probably be flooded and it would almost always be cold, the day would be even longer and.. yeah.. madness ._.
Another thought is to change the moon's perigee while leaving apogee alone. Might not be as fast, the moon would lose material only a short time on each orbit. Also check out J002E3, an Apollo module that went into Solar orbit but came back to orbit Earth in 2003 for 6 loops, and expected back around 2043 or so.
The Director 135 Let's simplify this and exclude our Moon and most laws of physics from consideration. If the Sun and the Earth-Moon system swapped places just now, it would be mayhem. Every other planet would be sucked into the Sun almost instantaneously depending on which side of the orbit they are on, unless they collided with each other in the process and disintegrated. The Earth itself might or might not remain in a stable orbit. However, with Jupiter gone, it would be hard to tell how much longer Earth would survive because the entire equilibrium of the system has shifted. If the giant planets are on the other side, they might steady themselves and become more elliptical in their orbits, but that seems unlikely. If some of them do and the others don't, they might migrate back and forth and might destabilize or capture the Earth. Since the Sun would have moved closer to the Kuiper belt, its gravity could cause planetary growth there. We could suddenly (in a span of a couple of million years) have new planets. But the billion or so haphazard movements of bodies would definitely increase the likelihood of one of them colliding into Earth and destroying it permanently to almost 99%.
The moon's orbit velocity would have to be increased as it was moved in closer but in theory you could put the moon within even 100 miles of earth and it be perfectly stable... The effects of that would be incredible such as very high tides several hundred feet if not more.
Here is a thought. Daft I know. What about a dozen moons placed in a line between Earth and the "real" Moon location, then press play to see what happens.
What if we swapped the sun for a star twice as massive? What if Jupiter and Mars swapped places? What if earth had a mass twice/thrice etc as much as it currently does?
I like to imagine how beautiful some of the planets would be at closer distance. For example, what would Jupiter look like from Earth if it was at the same distance as the moon? It would be interesting to view in both real time (before earth is torn apart) and at 10x speed during day and night with normal sun lighting conditions. Perhaps also viewing the umbra of earth on Jupiter. I really appreciate the work you are doing. Also, the channel "Yeti dynamics" has some of the most scientifically accurate simulations that I've seen.
Would be about the same as if the Sun stopped existing altogether. We would be hurled away from everything else literally but probably we would stay in Milky Way, lone planet orbiting giant black hole.
I love your vids and I believe part of your fame is do to your amazing personality and voice 😂😄with all honestly I think that might be a possible factor
8:25 moon is no longer held together gravitationally and stops losing mass. actually gains mass from collisions with other objects. cool. but then it starts losing mass again :( i guess a 100km object will still feel huge stresses from the delta in gravity when orbiting that close to earth.
Dude don't mention it I mean it was you who wished me a happy birthday first and you don't talk nonsense its quiet exciting how you keep us in suspense and then kaboom the solar system starts getting devastated its was quiet beautiful what happened to the sun in the last video I really loved it 😊😃😄😍
This is pretty cool! :D I'm not sure if you can do this, but can you do something at a way larger scale such as galaxies? If so, I'd love to see the Milky Way and Andromeda meet up. If not, that's totally fine :3
In earth moon system Roche limit is about 9400 km ,if moon get closer the stress due too earth gravity pull from one side and the centrifuge force from other side will rip the moon rocks appart
i thought the moon getting torn apart was amazing. I thought that the moon was going to just crash into the earth or spin each other out of there orbit and sling shot each other into space, Damn I was wrong...Ha Ha... Great video.. and yes I know this video is a year old, but it's the first time me seeing it.
instead of crumbling the moon, what is the closest the moon can be without it breaking up - and would that have allowed dinosaurs to grow the size that they did? would the ocean then have evaporated moreso to create a more moist atmosphere and warmer atmosphere? and would there have been a little more volcanism and plate tectonic activity?
Hey big fan of yours Merry Christmas and happy belated birthday I hope that you will make many more what if videos I'm 11 years old and I would be grateful that you make this video what The Earth was to close to the sun
I think you need some more mellow intro music - the current one is noisy and is kinda juxtaposed with the Universe Sandbox 2 Soundtrack. That way you can maintain the lovely relaxed mood your videos have, with the soft Irish voice and wonderful relaxing music, from start to finish, uninterrupted RUclips goodness. Or, dare to not have an intro at all.
Would love to see a simulation video of the hypothesis of how the moon formed by the suggested mars sized planet Thea crashing into the earth and then forming the moon. Can this be done?
I've been watching these on my phone before going to sleep lately and there's something oddly relaxing about them. Merry Christmas and keep up the fascinating work!
+Tommy Lellan Merry Christmas
@@Shenanigames I'm no expert, but the failed moons of Saturn's idea is probably how the rings formed
What if the Sun and Earth switched places? What if multiple back holes collided?
Superb Gamer how do back holes form do they form on the back of space
And do you believe in wite holes
(The wrong spelling is intetional)
seriously dude?
Superb Gamer if black holes collided, it can create bigger black holes

For you information yes this is why Saturn has rings. It tore apart one of its moons because of its size comparison.

What if Earth had Rings?
GreenScep 124 cool
GreenScep 124 why do I hate that I know what your profile pic is
if the rings is like saturn the comets of rings will colide with Earth and end with life and heat up planet

You should do a space engine series it's free btw

What if everything was a black hole?
2:30 "...let's not put it over Africa..."
Kids in Africa could have eaten that moon.
Surprised you didn't see that coming...
So that means that the moon formed outside the Rosch limit since astronomers say that it was very close at the beginning.
instead of crumbling the moon, what is the closest the moon can be without it breaking up - and would that have allowed dinosaurs to grow the size that they did? would the ocean then have evaporated moreso to create a more moist atmosphere and warmer atmosphere? and would there have been a little more volcanism and plate tectonic activity?
It's tidal forces of Earth ripping apart the moon.
