    Black hole stars may have been the largest stars to ever exist. They burned brighter than galaxies and were Larger than any star today or that could ever exist in the future. But besides their scale, what makes them special and weird is that deep inside, they were occupied by a cosmic parasite, an endlessly hungry black hole. How is that even possible?

      Also TON 618 being used as a comparison here means that Kurgesazt is pretty much describing the creation of the Phoenix A* cluster Black Hole, which recently unseated TON 618.

      ​@@thelastroman7791 I've actually simulated a quasi-star in Universe Sandbox and it took Earth 620,270 years to orbit it in its habitable zone (semi-major axis = 9.97 ly).
      It definitely will complete a full orbit, but it only has a handful of orbits left.
      Wikipedia stated that a quasi-star lives for only 7 million years at most.
      That means Earth can only orbit it for ~11 times before it dies.
      Compare that with Earth around Sun before the latter's death counted onwards from now, which is pretty much still 5 billion orbits left.

      Star Trek uses relatively accurate visualisations now, but in 2003 they used a literal black star with no lensing in the accretion disk. And they had advisors that a lot of other sci-fi didn’t, but just didn’t see the need to render all that. But now it’s mandatory, to the extent that sometimes there’s glitches and they don’t make the lensed portion always face the camera, because not having the effect at all would be unthinkable.

I mean, we're talking just after things cooled enough from the Big Bang (or whatever you want to call it) for stars to form. So yeah. The molecules were simpler, like, hydrogen, helium mainly. Some theories also suggest that the gas-clouds might have collapsed directly into a black hole.

    I have kept myself updated with cosmology for more than a decade now, being astonished by new concepts that peer into the makings of our universe, but after all of that... this was the one that shook me the most.
    I was stunned, stupefied, wrapping my head about how this could even be remotely possible. _"The sheer scale that extends to millions of horizons on both sides, the seemingly impossible clash of then-familiar forces amplified to unseen scales, and its remnants being the behemoths of the present universe whose origin has yet been explained"..._ my mind has been accustomed to separating "reality" and "science fiction" so I expected to not be surprised by this like most things, yet what shook me to the core is the proposition that... in the well-established story telling the early stages of the universe, the ones that many science nerds are fond and familiar with, smack in the middle of that is this utter monster bordering well into what I see as science fiction... and that it could have been real.
    It's mind-boggling.. it's terrifying.. and so thrilling... It's like being a kid again, discovering for the very first time the impressive features out into the universe and feeling this bit of cosmic dread topped with a ridiculous amount of awe thinking that "Holy sh*t, a [e.g. black hole] might actually exist??!"
    I haven't felt this mind-blown for something in a long time and it was great! Thanks for the wonderful *wonderful* execution, you guys at Kurzgesagt! I'll save this in my Favorites, reaffirm my sub to you, and watch out for the next run of cosmic birb calendars to try and get one! ✨💜💙
