    The universe isn't just a vast empty ocean sprinkled with galaxies - most of the atoms are actually drifting in between, in the intergalactic medium.
    If we look closely, we can see who is in charge here: Quasars, the single most powerful objects in existence. As small as a grain of sand compared to the amazon river, they reside in the centers of some galaxies, shining with the power of a trillion stars, blasting out huge jets of matter, completely reshaping the cosmos around them. They are so powerful that they can kill a galaxy.
    What are they, and how do they mold the structure of the universe at their whim?

    The concept of time dilation near black holes always blows my mind. It's mind-bending to think about how time can slow down near such immense gravitational fields. Black holes truly bend the rules of our familiar reality.

    • @ArawnOfAnnwn
      @ArawnOfAnnwn 10 месяцев назад +99

      You won't feel it. Time only slows relative to people far away. As far as you're concerned, nothing has changed (apart from you being burned to a crisp and reduced to a stream of atoms of course).

    • @Mike__B
      @Mike__B 10 месяцев назад +82

      Time dilation occurs near ever gravitational body, hell GPS satellites need to be programmed to deal with it because time ticks differently on Earth than it does for things orbiting Earth, granted the amount is absolutely minuscule but for something that requires high precision clocks to help triangulate where you are it absolutely is necessary.

    It so hard to comprehend stuff like that, honestly I spent a lot of time just wrapping my head around the fact that the time when something happens and when we see it due to the light needing to move through vasts amount of space to seem like a mere dot or line in the sky is amazing to me like what if a minute streak across the sky happened when my ancestors were alive? and it took THIS long to reach someone's eyes? just makes you appreciate everything a little bit more.

    Can we talk about how INSANELY beautiful Kurzgesagt's animations got lately? I mean, they were always beautiful, but FOR GOD'S SAKE, just look at this! They somehow manage to keep their charming characteristic style, while making their science videos a full art piece. I can't put my finger on what exactly makes their new animation so amazing, but it's just STUNNING and every time I finish watching one I can't wait to see the next one.

    Space is terrifying. Beautiful, but terrifying. Ever since I first learned of quasars, I've wondered if some day Earth might get blasted by the polar jets from a quasar. We'd have no way to detect it, much less defend ourselves from it. Too often it feels like we are a sitting duck in a sea of violent chaos.

      There's a limit to how much you can improve something.
      The animation will likely reach peak quality and after that it either stays that way or you change the style but it won't be the same.
      Also top quality animation takes way too much time which maybe is worth it.

Makes me wish I still had children young enough to sit and watch educational videos with. But I still love watching them on my own.
    I won't thank you for putting that terrifying visualization of a fanged quasar into my head. I'll say this much: Kurzgesagt does not gratuitously horrify us, but it certainly doesn't shy away from showing us scary stuff in an honest and straightforward way.
    Like I said, honest education at its best. And sometimes knowledge is scary.

      We'd have to live another 15,000 years or so, and continue of the same level of exponential in technology we have been in since the Industrial Revolution, to even come close to being able to observe deep space phenomena in real time. It will probably take us another 2000 years or so just to be able to get a vessel safely to another system, such as Alpha Centauri. The only way to get the speed would be thermo fusion engines, with stellar nagivation able to see and avoid any rubble entirely, some form of huge stellar shield AND enough living space to provide for multiple generations of travellers, as it would still take dozens if not hundreds of years to get there.
      But yes. There is no chance in hell we live that long. If the 55 degrees Summers, failures of crops, 90% ocean coverage and all out nuclear war doesn't get us ... the mosquitos will. Eventually. It's only a matter of time...

    Hey kuezgesagt team I really appreciate what your doing and hope you all keep up the good work. My request is that you guys have sone videos on the ways the types of civilizations in the universe get energy.
    Type 1: Nuclear Power ( I think so)
    Type 2: Dyson spheres
    Type 3: Black hole bombs
    So my request is you guys continue the series and make the same research and videos for type 4 and 5 civilizations as well. Love you guys and keep up the good work❤❤❤

    It's hard to imagine, but one of my favourite parts about this is that, if you pointed a quasar at an entire galaxy, it would be shredded apart by the massive radiation beam coming off of the accretion disk. We like to think about powerful anime characters throwing attacks that split worlds but imagine a single blast that even just lightly strobing for one or two passes capable of not only shreding every habitable world unlucky enough to have a line of sight with it, but literally capable of cooking a star and shunting enough mass off of it that it could go extinct. Of course it would take hundreds of thousands of years just for the blast wave to reach their targets but this would be doom to an entire sci-fi universe by itself

If it hurts your brain and makes you feel small just stop. We often feel responsible to stay informed about the world around us, or we fear getting ridiculed for being less educated. But we're first and foremost responsible for ourselves, and we can chose what seems beneficial to us and what does not. You deserve to concentrate on the things that make you feel great not small.

    Kurzgesagt does such a good job at making things fun and interesting. As a person that struggles with ADHD it's hard focusing on things, but now I couldn't do anything but focus. Kurzgesagt does such a phenominal job at this, and I learn so much from these videos. I also want to show love for the sound team, they did such a good job here.

    I'm curious what the collision path of Andromeda and the milky way looks like. The math behind such an event sounds incalculable between the numbers of stars, their positions, and the relativistic speeds of these galaxies.
    Heck, we still can't even account for how galaxies are holding together as our current theories show that there is a severe lack of matter for it to work, so we have stop-gap theories like dark matter to fill the void (hehe) until we have a clear picture.

      It could be that one does not understand the lonely parts of the galaxys, but the galaxys as an object. Like when we see a balloon as an object and not as a sub-object with air, witch is also made up of different gases, you also get the same result.
      So you can also imagine the galaxy as an single object and calculate as an single object.

      Afaik, the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies colliding is unlikely to affect us much. The distance between stars in galaxies is so vast that most systems will just pass by their new neighbors and only ever interact with them gravitationally.

      ​@@LuQingthat's completely incorrect. You can't calculate collisions that way.

    I always love to learn more in depth about the universe, and this provides some kind of background for what a quasar is so I can grasp at the understanding of the one mod that weaponizes quasar black holes for a game of stellaris
