@@chinnuv494 yes it's indeed the same track that used for their Black Hole Size comparison video, but that's mainly because this video is a continuation of that. They mentioned Quasi-Stars on that video and it's creation finally gets explained here. 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.
Just when you think it couldn't get stranger than strange stars, Kurtzgesagt delivers something extra strange to out strange what we had even remotely heard of previously. Never change.
I always love how these scales are shown, knowing that it's basically impossible for anyone to really be able to grasp how absolutely massive these things really are
A black hole star at the end of it´s life would appear as big as our Sun today as seen from Earth if it were 28,928,571,428,571 km away, or close to 193 thousand times further than the Earth orbits the Sun. That for reference is about 70% of the distance to the nearest other star besides our Sun, Proxima Centauri.
No matter how many times I see a scale-up of the universe, I’m still shocked as ever to see it again, because I just can’t comprehend how unbelievably colossal the universe is. Truly awe-inspiring.

@@louisgamercool2324 To bring down the scale for you the black hole at the end ton 618 is 30million times the diameter of the earth or if the earth was the size of a pea Ton 618 would stretch from New York to Philadelphia. Assuming they have their sizes right the black hole star would stretch from London to Paris.
No one knows if these ever existed, they have been proposed as possible in theory, that's all. The narrator said "if they existed" once at 0:45 and then spent the rest of the video describing them as if they did.
@@allisterblossfeld9329 what gets to me is that that number, 800,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, is applicable and real, and we just found it in nature.
Animation that looks this beautiful and fluid is easy to take for granted, but I know there are sometimes thousands of human-hours involved in their creation. Kudos to all who worked on this.
This one is probably on the "easier" side, the ones that involve cities and world overviews are really brutal, but, yeah, at least hundreds of hours of work to get a couple of minutes of a nice moving pictures.
@@axvan2158 a black holes gravitational pull is strong enough to rip you apart before you even notice you're dead. What's scary about not feeling pain and it being over before you even notice what happened?
This channel makes me feel again like a kid learning for the first time about space in school. Glued to my sit, completely focused and amazed by the science. You guys are the absolute teachers. Following since early 2014, I’m impressed and glad to have witnessed the exponential growth in quality of your videos, but still having the same energy and philosophy of the beginning. Truly happy 🎉
This channel has absolutely stunned me in the last weeks because they started from uploading every few weeks to uploading every few days. The amount of help, donations and editors they're getting must be immense. Congrats, man!
That's the subtle difference all the merch we bought made. I'm happy they're not thinking of coasting and are using all the funds to continue growing the channel.
@@Frogger373 Nuh uh I took it from ice age lol I ain’t even scrolled bruh I just wrote it down cause I thought it was funny also “stealer” isn’t really a word. The proper word is “thief”, of which I am not. :)
PART 2 Black hole:sup Black hole star:AHHHH BLACK HOLE wait but why you in m-WHY ARE YOU EATING ME black hole:IM BEING FORCE FED still yummy tho black hole star:AHHHHHHHHHHHHH Universe:yup peace Black hole star:AHGGGGHGHHH IM LITERALLY INSIDE Y-AHHHHHHHHGGHHH
Imagine being part of the team that theorise all of this. And the more information you put forward the more realistic the theory becomes. The level of excitement. The goose bumps!
I love that “a star powered by a black hole”, which sounds like something a ten-year old would come up with, turns out to be a legitimate hypothesis in science.
This is my favorite video of all time, out of all the videos in RUclips. I love the visuals, the explanations, and the actual quasi-star is a cool thing. This was explained in such a good way, i thank you for how good this video is. I hope these get confirmed, these are also my favorite space objects of all time.
a star so massive that its core gets compressed into a black hole and it somehow can still exist because it's so massive that the outward push of its energy keeps it alive. and it's all theoretically possible, that is utterly insane to think about
The part where the accretion disk rips apart the star literally gives me chills. It's like, a reverse supernova. Instead of gravity rebounding or collapsing entirely, it's completely overwhelmed by the energy of the core. The illustration of the event is the best kind of eye candy 👍
I love how they always put references in their videos! 6:21 11:40 Their editors are cracked to be able to make amazing animations and still have time and energy to put Easter eggs
Three whole Kurzgesagt videos in as little as 8 days? This *has* to be a brand new record in the history of this channel. You guys are absolutely *relentless* when it comes to making these masterpices! Yeah, the video was amazing honestly. I liked how you made use of faces and facial expressions on inanimate objects, just like how you did in the older videos. The visuals in here were absolutely *top notch,* the *9:07* part honestly gave me chills in the first viewing. The topic of Quasi Stars is truly out of this world. You guys truly weren't lying when you said that you were planning to make a dedicated video about these reality-bending behemoths...
im guessing that they had a couple videos ready and had made them earlier and just released them consecutively cause this kind of video of this high quality takes several hundred hours or even a thousands to make
The zoom outs from earth to the black holes and stars always gives me chills. Just the sheer size of it all, how beings like us that are insignificant in size even compared to our planet can somehow put into perspective how inconceivable the scale of the universe is.
What's also interesting to think is that we're all part of it. We are made of the same materials found inside stars. So we are the cosmos. And through our eyes the universe is perceiving itself.
People commend often how good the animation is ,which it is.But the sound design of these videos is even more brilliant, I could feel the tension keep building up as the video progressed.Big kudos to that sound team too(and ofc the rest of the team too).
The animation in these videos are always levelling up even further and further. I love it, especially for showing big cataclysmic events. The animators need more appreciation.
What an absolutely fantastic episode this is! How Kurzgesagt manages to continuously improve production standards with each passing release is utterly beyond me.
Woah, kurzgesagt. You guys just gonna keep dropping bangers all throughout December or something? I’ll take that as an early Christmas present! Thank you for all the hard work! Edit: nah, looks like this is their last video for the year. Still, three videos in a month is a great Christmas present!
I cannot believe that the band Soundgarden was able to accurately predict the existence of such a thing all the way back in 1994 with their hit single 'Black Hole Sun'
15 point to griffindor... so I was thinking maybe this is a concept that's been around for awhile and I am just hearing about it,hence the song. Is this more like a Simpsons thing though?
I'm kind of sad they left out the stars which run (very briefly) on matter-antimatter reactions. But those aren't really relevant to black holes, I suppose, since their deaths typically leave *nothing* behind.
This was one of, if not the best video i've watched in this channel (and that says A LOT). Just everything, from the animation, to the epic music and feel throughout the entire video and the way it was built and narrated, just hit different this time. It was just so fun to watch, I really hope you guys lean more into this style!
Have you got their smartphone app? I bought it last month and it blew me away. I'm sure theres youtube videois showing its contents but a lot of this video is similar to features in the app! I sound like I'm trying to sell it to you haha but seriously check it out. I think its title is the universe in a nutshell.
I would go so far as to say that this video has been one of the best pieces of content that I have ever seen, especially when it comes to the educational variety!
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate Kurzgesagt for being able to upload 3 phenomenal videos in the space of just two weeks! This is amazing especially considering their pledge to a monthly upload schedule, but I’m sure all of us are more than grateful. Thank you Team!
And the fact that they dont work in a single project at a time, but many projects at the same time, and still being able to upload so oftenly should be impossible
Honestly, there's something incredible about the simplicity of the animation style this channel uses. It makes these videos so much more intriguing and fun to watch. I have a severe learning disability yet I find myself completely immersed and actually being able to focus throughout the entirety of these!! :)
I agree, they do an amazing job with that. They keep things so simple yet interesting and understandable. Most other educational channels are so monotone I feel like they’re trying to put me to sleep! 😆
I love how Interstellar not only completely changed the way we present black holes visually, but also aurally. All footage of black holes is now accompanied by organs and choruses thanks to the genius of Hans Zimmer lol
@@1tortillapls I never said they made it up, I said they changed the way we visualize black holes. Their modeling was so groundbreaking that it resulted in something like three scientific papers being published.
@@ZHL242 it also brought it to the public’s attention. 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.
Dude like 4 videos in the last month? Y’all are on a roll, I can only imagine how much time and effort goes into each of these videos so thanks for giving us a lot of content recently!
I noticed that too! I think it's probably because it's December, and there are more active users on yt then, so videos posted in December do better. Idk just a thought though.
@@cutie_cake_cat Considering how long it takes to make just one video, this must have been planned months ago to release multiple videos in one month. Smart too, considering how ad money works in the month of December and January.
@@jjbarajas5341 Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Makes sense that a company that relies on intelligent thinking would be posting and saving more videos for this time haha :D
The music used during the visual journey is phenomenal, as awe inspiring as the subject matter, which has itself been extremely well-composed into what is easily one of Kurzgesagt's best cosmology video yet. The fact that you continue to release works like these on a free-to-watch medium is astounding. Thank you.
Their composer is so good. One of their other black hole videos also had a killer soundtrack. I think you can find these soundtracks on streaming services.
@@jakefromstatefarm1405 Me too! I was listening intently to hear if it would be integrated in some way, but I don't think it was. I did like the parts that were inspired by the "Interstellar" soundtrack though.
I can't put into words how much I love blackholes, space and neutron stars. This video is hauntingly amazing and I love it sooo much. It's crazy to see how much is in space, how much we have to learn so on so forth. The music makes it all the better and is soo good. The choir really do a good job at making these behemoths of galactic bodies show the power and respect they demand. I can watch everything space related for a lifetime in all honesty. I love this channel so much!
This has blown me away. All of this is nearly unfathomable. But the video puts it into perspective in a very humanly-consumable way. It's incredible. Always my favorite part of Kurzgesagt
The fact that I loved space as a kid and couldn’t even begin to fathom some of the things I know now and now I can really just appreciate how amazingly massive everything is. Couldn’t be more thankful for this channel and everyone that makes it happen.
@@ynemey1243 This particular video is just a hypothesis based on the fact that this would currently be the only way that we can think of that would allow the existence of the huge black holes we have right now. Black holes that are too big to develop in the way we know. But with that being said, many other video's on this channel are definitely 'science fact'. I'm not sure what exactly you mean when saying science fact, as nothing is ever an unchangeable fact. The closest thing that comes to science fact is a peer reviewed theory. It's hard to fathom anything else than a peer reviewed theory (mass generates gravity, for example), but it could still be debunked when new data arrives. Although it's, once again, very unlikely.
Petition for writers to make more sci-fi films (similarly to Gravity and Interstellar) so we can explore more of these horrifying yet mystical objects of our universe
i've been watching kurzgesagt for a long time, and what i've learned is as follows: if you make it bigger or more powerful, or both, anything can happen
It won't. The supernova already happened when the black hole gets seeded. What you get looks like something else, where the runaway fusion occurinh on the accretion disk expands the star so much it just kinda disintegrates, with the matter either having escape velocity or not. There's no real kaboom so much as a scaling up and then down of absurd levels of radiation.
I thought Kurzgesagt was supposed to be a monthly thing, but we're getting a video almost every week? This seems to good to be true, I have no idea how they're keeping the quality this freaking good
@@darkmystery5731 even if some clips are reused, its still such high quality for free video. If you look back at their older videos from only 1 or 2 years ago, you can really see how much they have improved since then
This video is mostly a more detailed explanation of the "quasi-stars" that were already described in last year's "Largest Black Holes" video, so they were able to re-use a significant portion of the visual assets and music.
Honestly, usually when I watch these kinds of videos I learn a little about small details and enjoy the visuals, but I am already broadly familiar with the topic. However, this video truly introduced something new to me. I have watched videos about the dilemma of supermassive black holes before, but this explanation of their existence sounds very plausible indeed. Thanks Kurzgesagt for presenting it in such an enjoyable and mentally stimulating manner!
Dilemma of supermassive black holes should be solved by scientists, not by cartoonists. There are cosmological theories that solve this dilemma without introducing exotic objects. Introducing new exotic objects or hypothetical particles/fields every time a theory doesn't explain observations is a dead end.
@@sergeysmyshlyaev9716 are you okay? They "just" take information from scientists. And explain it in a way undestandable for the average Human being, using animations. The don't pull any theories out there ass or solve any dilemmas.
That was intense! It's like I could feel the pressure increasing and just a growing sense of dread and fear. Coupled with the existential uneasiness that always comes with realizing how tiny and insignificant we are compared to the rest of the universe, this is definitely one of the best videos they've ever done, props!!!
When there is 100-200 billion or so stars in our galaxy. And there is an estimate is that there is between 100-200 billion galaxies. Yeah... our planet is insignificant on galactic scale. Irrelevant on an intergalactic scale. And well... we are but little creatures on one planet... that hoves a round a star... that hovers around a central galaxy.... that floats between billions of galaxies... you fill in the blanks on how relevant we are.
@@Redisia Perspective helps. All that is there just to support my existence? I must be super important. Thanks for your service, participating in my universe.
9:17 Every time I see a scale comparison in a space-themed video it's always "you thought this was the largest thing in the universe, but there's actually another, and another and so on"... Simply amazing! Thanks for this great content, Kurzgesagt!
This really is the pinnacle of violence in the universe. I can’t think of anything more epic. P.S. Perfect sound effects bring it to a whole new level.
from creatures on a microscopic scale, to ants and to blackhole stars… what an epic journey this year was with Kurtzgesagt well done team and thank you
I could not tell you how many times I've replayed the visual scale starting at 9:16. Haven't felt such awe of cosmic proportions since reading H.P. Lovecraft's works. Many thanks as always, Kurzgesagt.
Out by the orbit of Neptune, our Sun is supposedly just barely discernible as being closer than any of the other dots on the stary sky. Just imagine a star that stretches not once, but several dozen times past the edge of our solar system. Incomprehensible scale indeed.
Where do you think he got the inspiration? In the 1920s as our knowledge of the universe was changed forever (We once though other galaxies were nebulas in the milky way universe, much less think the universe was 13.8 billion years old) in the sky, and on the ground (discovery of ancient ruins like the Pyramids) Lovecraft lost his mind & was inspired to spread that insanity.
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! ✨💜💙
Extremely well said. Videos like these leave me with this profound sense of existential awe where I find myself humbled and grateful to live in a universe infinitely more interesting and mind bending than anything science fiction has yet to produce.
Another black hole related impressive feat that we have actually observed is that some super massive blackholes have such massive accretion disks that even stars form inside them.
@@missquprison I didn't read it as "I doubt anything could orbit a black hole" (which is false) and more as "I don't think the gas inside the accretion disc can both orbit the black hole and simultaneously collapse under its own local gravity" (most likely because the gravity of the black hole should be dominating as otherwise we wouldn't actually be talking about the accretion disc but of gaseous stuff just outside the disc which collapses first/starts collapse first and THEN becomes part of the disc, growing in size until we find it)
@@Mernom Giant black holes and the farther reaches of their accretion discs aren't really 'extreme environments', they're relatively slow and calm because of their scale
the thing is the video is awesome but sadly the big bang theory is not yet proved so its basically like we know how the universe is now but not the origin
I currently have one of my classes doing a project based on Kurzgesagt's video about falling into a black hole, and now this video comes out! This video, however, is blowing my mind even more! Thank you, KGZ team, for providing the world with such quality content for fans and educators alike!
I love how every time I'm convinced we've reached the outermost cosmic scale- the biggest star, or black hole, or *thing* - kurzgesagt destroys my whole perception of size. every video is a trip and i love it
Kurzgesagt sometimes makes me cry like a baby for no reason. The existential awe induced by awe inducing content, the beautiful animation, the phenomenal music... just everything. I'm a baby in your hands
The incomprehensible size of the universe may be terrifying, but to me it's beautiful. So much to learn and so much to see, it's just incredible, that no matter what, there is still something we have yet to see over the event horizon.
Kurzgesagts videos should be compulsory in all primary schools in the world. Sort of an end of day wind down treat for the kids and highly educational. Such a great talent goes into making their awesome videos.
@@Eldoofus Well it's theorettical space anomolies. Of course we don't KNOW, but then - what DO we know? 99% of what we *think* we know, are merely constructs created within the boundaries of our emergent primitive minds to explain the impossible unknown all around us. BUT we need *something* to slot in there! Other than "GOD MADE IT!" (derp face). Right? What good did "GOD MADE It!" ever do any child in history, when they ask their infinite number of questions growing up? Nothing! XD This is at least better than THAT!
Wow, this video has broadened my perspective on how humans understand space and physics! Every time I watch a video like this, I feel like I'm entering a wonderful intellectual adventure!
6:59 Alright, that is truly mind-blowing. I always heard about Quasi stars being maybe 10 million kilometres in diameter. 30 TIMES the size of the solar system is just incredible
The faces the black hole makes in this are seriously the best thing. I LOVE this video, entertaining, informative, and amazing animation and music! Thank you again! :)
@@Zadrixvaz The hated one's video is bullshit, he didn't even show where was there propaganda in that video, he simply said that the video was funded by a billionaire, I don't see what's so bad about it.
@@PeakPeakPeakPeakPeak You don't see what is so bad about a channel that many people trust being funded by Bill Gates while barely anyone even knows he funds the channel in the first place? Watch the whole video.
@@eliass8118 I watched the whole video, it's basically "Kurzgesagt said something that i disagree with. So it means that they are a neoliberal group controlled by the goverment and billionaires"
@@eliass8118 I mean he's not wrong. The literally Video feels like a Twitter leftie spreads some conspiracy theories beacause some people have more money and therefore they must be manipulative assholes that inject us microchips. BOOHOO And please stop spaming these kind of comments in Kurzgesagt comment sections it's getting kinda annoying.
The amount of work put into this videos are insane it’s amazing how much work is put into this videos most people have no idea but every single video is a masterpiece
What's intensely interesting here, is that realistically speaking the mechanics of the black hole star are actually virtually identical to even a main sequence star. An internal core having pressure and mass forced into it, it pushing back, and a steady inflation as the fuel is used up, with a core growing in density. Literally the only difference is the scale mass of the core itself.
@@EmeraldEyesEsoteric what I'm saying here is the only defining difference between a primordial black hole star and modern stars is virtually nothing other than size scales. Our sun is a main sequence star, so it is not a primordial black hole star, at least not as far as conventional science organized it to be. What I will say is that if you seek proof or validation of a belief, you will find it. That dosent make your belief true. It's confirmation bias. You already have some level of belief and faith in your religion. Religion has predicted the end for a long time. Every generation pushes at least one end of days theory, and rarely is any truth gleamed out of religion true in the interpretation it was written in. When it comes to things like stars, be mindful that the gods were originally created to help explain stars in a way that we could have some grasp of. As well astrological events have inspired a great many works. Your caught between intent, and meaning. My advice is look for meaning, and reason why it is more purposeful to see things objectively, but intend well; than to see things subjectively and not question why.
@@EmeraldEyesEsoteric our sun is way, and I mean way to small for that. In fact our sun is soo small that even at the end of its life it wont even form a black hole. In order for our sun to be able to form a black hole, ie condense all of its mass into a infinitely small point of space, it would have to be 20 times larger.
@@a-drewg1716 I think what OP means here is it's the basic mechanics of the idea. Both a black hole star and a current time star have the following: - A insanely delicate balance of forces formed by the heat and intensity of a radioactive reaction occurring in the core against the natural curvature (according to Einstein's theories) of space-time on the large mass's tendency to want to collapse into it. - A "giant" stage, or more specifically a stage marked by a sudden change of methods which causes the star itself to bloat to many many times its current size due to the fact that the new radiation energy is far far stronger than what the actual mass of the star can collapse into. - Some variation where in which the outer layer of the stars are dispersed into space, and where the only thing that remains is the core, where it will live the rest of its days until it's death, destruction or absorption. Small stars just dissolve their outer layers, large stars create a large shockwave from collapsing against iron, or a black hole itself if it's large enough, and black hole stars outright tear the star apart before it could die from other methods. Regardless of the size of the star, the effective outcome is the same, the outer layers get launched outwards, leaving a core left to stay, whether that be a slowly decaying white dwarf star, a neutron star, a normal black hole, or a massive black hole. It's honestly quite terrifying to understand the sheer extent of what truly is possible in the universe, and well- it's nice and reassuring to know that in a way, we do understand certain topics- at least as the amount that we do-
9:16 I can’t wrap my head around how absolutely massive black hole stars would be if we could see one from even a remotely safe distance. Mind boggling.
I was thinking about this also. This thing is so large that if you were trying to go around it you could travel at the speed of light for weeks or months or possibly even longer and it would look like you didn't move at all. That is really hard to wrap your head around and I love it.
@@DashEpyon I mean, this is the size of the solar system... If we take the picture shown, which is just a bit farther than the Kuipler Belt, we get a radius of about 60AU, so 8,975,872,242 km. This is a circumference of 56,397,068,600 km. Considering that light goes at 299,792,458 m/s, this would take something going at lightspeed 188,120.37 seconds, or 522.55 hours, or 21.77 days to around it ON ITS SURFACE. Three weeks to go around it at lightspeed. Now, we don't know at what distance it would be "safe" to look at it, but let's assume the proportion between the Sun and Mercury should be "safe enough". Considering that Mercury orbits the Sun at an "average" of about 57,909,050 km (the Sun having a radius of 348,171 km), the extrapolated safe point should be at about 37,322,428,347,494.7 km from the center of the star, or 37,313,452,475,252.7 km from the surface. Meaning that the orbit (circumference) would be 234,503,733,000,000 km long, so 782,220,255.18 seconds, 2,172,834.04 hours, 90,534.75 days, 248.04 years FOR AN OBJECT GOING AT LIGHTSPEED to orbit. Unless I've somehow made a mistake in my maths, holy fucking shit.
@@raznaak so that's the closest you could get to it before orbital velocity required to maintain a centrifical balance would exceed the speed of light?
@@illusiveelk2558 I mean, there's a LOT of assumptions I made concerning a thing that defy logic, but I guess that assuming Mercury's distance ratio from the sun is a valid distance from the black hole star is a good guess I guess... Anyways, it may even be farther than that, as perhaps when it comes to that sheer size things get weird, but theoretical paleoastronomy isn't my thing so eh.
Truly one of the best channels on the site. I deeply appreciate how you guys beat the controversy about the research that goes into your videos and used that to better your channel. You guys do it the right way, I can always trust that anything you guys put out is backed by real science. Truly a bar not many can reach.

I always love how these scales are shown, knowing that it's basically impossible for anyone to really be able to grasp how absolutely massive these things really are
tl;dr dey big
because it's infinite in both directions. scale is essentially meaningless due to the conformal nature of the cosmos and the quantum.
there is no banana for scale :(
A black hole star at the end of it´s life would appear as big as our Sun today as seen from Earth if it were 28,928,571,428,571 km away, or close to 193 thousand times further than the Earth orbits the Sun. That for reference is about 70% of the distance to the nearest other star besides our Sun, Proxima Centauri.

I love that “a star powered by a black hole”, which sounds like something a ten-year old would come up with, turns out to be a legitimate hypothesis in science.
It sounds like a soundgarden song, literally!
@@jonathanberry1111 it is a Soundgarden song, actually. "Black hole sun" is it's name (well, it's similar in concept anyways,)
@@yellowskycreations4542 I said "sounds like" because the Soundgarden song is blackhole sun not blackhole star, but clearly I was aware of their song.
yeah, i think they are called quasi stars
@@Kneecaptain Quasi star won't you come, and wash away the rain, quasi star won't you come, won't you come, won't you come.
This is my favorite video of all time, out of all the videos in RUclips. I love the visuals, the explanations, and the actual quasi-star is a cool thing. This was explained in such a good way, i thank you for how good this video is. I hope these get confirmed, these are also my favorite space objects of all time.
a star so massive that its core gets compressed into a black hole and it somehow can still exist because it's so massive that the outward push of its energy keeps it alive. and it's all theoretically possible, that is utterly insane to think about
It makes so much sense. These were likely what created the super massive black holes in the centers of galaxies. They CREATED the galaxies
What's even more concerning is if that is possible, it brings up the question- could our "universe" be the singularity of some even LARGER blackhole?
Shouldn't the temperature reached just before core collapse be the maximum possible temperature
@@simohayha6031 probably
@@simohayha6031I thought there isn’t an actual maximum temperature?
The part where the accretion disk rips apart the star literally gives me chills. It's like, a reverse supernova. Instead of gravity rebounding or collapsing entirely, it's completely overwhelmed by the energy of the core.

What's also interesting to think is that we're all part of it. We are made of the same materials found inside stars. So we are the cosmos. And through our eyes the universe is perceiving itself.

There could easily be space fish that would hoover up our planet like a flake of food. Domesticated space whales for interstellar travel...
People commend often how good the animation is ,which it is.But the sound design of these videos is even more brilliant, I could feel the tension keep building up as the video progressed.Big kudos to that sound team too(and ofc the rest of the team too).
So true 👍
This track was actually reused from the Largest Black Hole video, and while it is *epic* , I would really have liked an original track.

"The star is so large and massive that not even a supernova can destroy it." That just blew my mind.
I'm kind of sad they left out the stars which run (very briefly) on matter-antimatter reactions. But those aren't really relevant to black holes, I suppose, since their deaths typically leave *nothing* behind.

the scale at the end dropped my jaw... massive appreciation to all the team effort
This animation looked stunning, but just imagine for a minute what this would have looked like in person. Just.... insane

We can't even look Earth in person, no one can even imagine looking at something 30 times bigger than solar system
I imagine it would be so bright you could see right through your hand and still see it clear enough to burn your eyes
Impossible to comprehend
i misread and i thought you wrote "imagine if this would look like as a person" and yeah it would look insane still
I love how Interstellar not only completely changed the way we present black holes visually, but also aurally. All footage of black holes is now accompanied by organs and choruses thanks to the genius of Hans Zimmer lol
The movie used an actual simulation though, that is how black holes really look like
@@1tortillapls I never said they made it up, I said they changed the way we visualize black holes. Their modeling was so groundbreaking that it resulted in something like three scientific papers being published.
Yeah this sounded like Galactus music or something...
@@ZHL242 it also brought it to the public’s attention.
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'm not complaining though. Those choruses made me feel like i was going to heaven
Dude like 4 videos in the last month? Y’all are on a roll, I can only imagine how much time and effort goes into each of these videos so thanks for giving us a lot of content recently!
I'm surprised too! I remember the days when Kurzgesagt had an upload schedule that was barely a video a month, haha.

This channel is science fiction, not actual science fact.
@@ynemey1243 This particular video is just a hypothesis based on the fact that this would currently be the only way that we can think of that would allow the existence of the huge black holes we have right now. Black holes that are too big to develop in the way we know. But with that being said, many other video's on this channel are definitely 'science fact'. I'm not sure what exactly you mean when saying science fact, as nothing is ever an unchangeable fact. The closest thing that comes to science fact is a peer reviewed theory. It's hard to fathom anything else than a peer reviewed theory (mass generates gravity, for example), but it could still be debunked when new data arrives. Although it's, once again, very unlikely.

Nothing stops you from writing a sci-fi movie script.
i've been watching kurzgesagt for a long time, and what i've learned is as follows: if you make it bigger or more powerful, or both, anything can happen
With a star that ridiculously big, I cannot hope to imagine the power it has when it explodes into a supernova.
Personally, I'd call that explosion an "Ultranova".
The star alone would be a whole light year across at the end of its life. It's supernova should be small galaxy sized
@@azizcalva-navarro6170 nope that's a epicnova
It won't. The supernova already happened when the black hole gets seeded. What you get looks like something else, where the runaway fusion occurinh on the accretion disk expands the star so much it just kinda disintegrates, with the matter either having escape velocity or not. There's no real kaboom so much as a scaling up and then down of absurd levels of radiation.
@Wither Storm and Wither Storm Segments Can't. That name is already taken. Hypernovas are supernovas of hypergiant stars.
I thought Kurzgesagt was supposed to be a monthly thing, but we're getting a video almost every week? This seems to good to be true, I have no idea how they're keeping the quality this freaking good
They've started reusing music, and this video has reused animation. Quality has definitely gone down a little.
@@darkmystery5731 even if some clips are reused, its still such high quality for free video. If you look back at their older videos from only 1 or 2 years ago, you can really see how much they have improved since then
This video is mostly a more detailed explanation of the "quasi-stars" that were already described in last year's "Largest Black Holes" video, so they were able to re-use a significant portion of the visual assets and music.
@@darkmystery5731 what’s wrong with reusing music? This video had really good quality and educational
I'm getting worried. Maybe they are pulling an EA? trying to hit a quota before 12,023?
Honestly, usually when I watch these kinds of videos I learn a little about small details and enjoy the visuals, but I am already broadly familiar with the topic. However, this video truly introduced something new to me. I have watched videos about the dilemma of supermassive black holes before, but this explanation of their existence sounds very plausible indeed. Thanks Kurzgesagt for presenting it in such an enjoyable and mentally stimulating manner!
Dilemma of supermassive black holes should be solved by scientists, not by cartoonists. There are cosmological theories that solve this dilemma without introducing exotic objects. Introducing new exotic objects or hypothetical particles/fields every time a theory doesn't explain observations is a dead end.

When there is 100-200 billion or so stars in our galaxy. And there is an estimate is that there is between 100-200 billion galaxies. Yeah... our planet is insignificant on galactic scale. Irrelevant on an intergalactic scale. And well... we are but little creatures on one planet... that hoves a round a star... that hovers around a central galaxy.... that floats between billions of galaxies... you fill in the blanks on how relevant we are.

I could not tell you how many times I've replayed the visual scale starting at 9:16. Haven't felt such awe of cosmic proportions since reading H.P. Lovecraft's works.
Many thanks as always, Kurzgesagt.
Bro your comment got stolen by a spam bot
Out by the orbit of Neptune, our Sun is supposedly just barely discernible as being closer than any of the other dots on the stary sky. Just imagine a star that stretches not once, but several dozen times past the edge of our solar system. Incomprehensible scale indeed.
"until then, let us do the visual journey again, just for fun" 😄
Indeed it's hard to wrap your head around the sizes you're watching 🤯
Same here!
Where do you think he got the inspiration? In the 1920s as our knowledge of the universe was changed forever (We once though other galaxies were nebulas in the milky way universe, much less think the universe was 13.8 billion years old) in the sky, and on the ground (discovery of ancient ruins like the Pyramids) Lovecraft lost his mind & was inspired to spread that insanity.
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! ✨💜💙
That's long
Extremely well said. Videos like these leave me with this profound sense of existential awe where I find myself humbled and grateful to live in a universe infinitely more interesting and mind bending than anything science fiction has yet to produce.
Black hole: did you die? Star: sadly yes, but I lived!

Another black hole related impressive feat that we have actually observed is that some super massive blackholes have such massive accretion disks that even stars form inside them.
Really? I somehow doubt they can form in such extreme environments.
@@Mernom you doubt that something can orbit a black hole? I have some news for you
@@Mernom Meanwhile physics:
@@missquprison I didn't read it as "I doubt anything could orbit a black hole" (which is false) and more as "I don't think the gas inside the accretion disc can both orbit the black hole and simultaneously collapse under its own local gravity" (most likely because the gravity of the black hole should be dominating as otherwise we wouldn't actually be talking about the accretion disc but of gaseous stuff just outside the disc which collapses first/starts collapse first and THEN becomes part of the disc, growing in size until we find it)
@@Mernom Giant black holes and the farther reaches of their accretion discs aren't really 'extreme environments', they're relatively slow and calm because of their scale
The physics behind this monster is violently beautiful. Probably the most fascinating video I've ever seen.

We've been blessed this month to have three Kurzgesagt videos! Guys really got some gifts to give us :)
I currently have one of my classes doing a project based on Kurzgesagt's video about falling into a black hole, and now this video comes out! This video, however, is blowing my mind even more! Thank you, KGZ team, for providing the world with such quality content for fans and educators alike!
I love how every time I'm convinced we've reached the outermost cosmic scale- the biggest star, or black hole, or *thing* - kurzgesagt destroys my whole perception of size. every video is a trip and i love it
huge thanks to the team making this, it's top tier quality!

I love that despite the massive amounts of effort it takes to make these videos Kurzgesagt still posts quite a lot lately.
The incomprehensible size of the universe may be terrifying, but to me it's beautiful.
So much to learn and so much to see, it's just incredible, that no matter what, there is still something we have yet to see over the event horizon.

What's intensely interesting here, is that realistically speaking the mechanics of the black hole star are actually virtually identical to even a main sequence star.
An internal core having pressure and mass forced into it, it pushing back, and a steady inflation as the fuel is used up, with a core growing in density.
Literally the only difference is the scale mass of the core itself.
@@EmeraldEyesEsoteric what I'm saying here is the only defining difference between a primordial black hole star and modern stars is virtually nothing other than size scales. Our sun is a main sequence star, so it is not a primordial black hole star, at least not as far as conventional science organized it to be.
What I will say is that if you seek proof or validation of a belief, you will find it. That dosent make your belief true. It's confirmation bias. You already have some level of belief and faith in your religion.
Religion has predicted the end for a long time. Every generation pushes at least one end of days theory, and rarely is any truth gleamed out of religion true in the interpretation it was written in.
When it comes to things like stars, be mindful that the gods were originally created to help explain stars in a way that we could have some grasp of.
As well astrological events have inspired a great many works.
Your caught between intent, and meaning. My advice is look for meaning, and reason why it is more purposeful to see things objectively, but intend well; than to see things subjectively and not question why.
@@EmeraldEyesEsoteric No, our star is tiny
@@EmeraldEyesEsoteric our sun is way, and I mean way to small for that. In fact our sun is soo small that even at the end of its life it wont even form a black hole. In order for our sun to be able to form a black hole, ie condense all of its mass into a infinitely small point of space, it would have to be 20 times larger.
@@a-drewg1716 I think what OP means here is it's the basic mechanics of the idea. Both a black hole star and a current time star have the following:
- A insanely delicate balance of forces formed by the heat and intensity of a radioactive reaction occurring in the core against the natural curvature (according to Einstein's theories) of space-time on the large mass's tendency to want to collapse into it.
- A "giant" stage, or more specifically a stage marked by a sudden change of methods which causes the star itself to bloat to many many times its current size due to the fact that the new radiation energy is far far stronger than what the actual mass of the star can collapse into.
- Some variation where in which the outer layer of the stars are dispersed into space, and where the only thing that remains is the core, where it will live the rest of its days until it's death, destruction or absorption.
Small stars just dissolve their outer layers, large stars create a large shockwave from collapsing against iron, or a black hole itself if it's large enough, and black hole stars outright tear the star apart before it could die from other methods. Regardless of the size of the star, the effective outcome is the same, the outer layers get launched outwards, leaving a core left to stay, whether that be a slowly decaying white dwarf star, a neutron star, a normal black hole, or a massive black hole.
It's honestly quite terrifying to understand the sheer extent of what truly is possible in the universe, and well- it's nice and reassuring to know that in a way, we do understand certain topics- at least as the amount that we do-
Except the black hole core itself keeps consuming or taking away matter.
This video has so many freaking bars “angry radiation of a force fed black hole” “cosmic beacon” “the star survives its own death” bro this is crazy
9:16 I can’t wrap my head around how absolutely massive black hole stars would be if we could see one from even a remotely safe distance. Mind boggling.
I was thinking about this also. This thing is so large that if you were trying to go around it you could travel at the speed of light for weeks or months or possibly even longer and it would look like you didn't move at all. That is really hard to wrap your head around and I love it.
@@DashEpyon I mean, this is the size of the solar system...
If we take the picture shown, which is just a bit farther than the Kuipler Belt, we get a radius of about 60AU, so 8,975,872,242 km. This is a circumference of 56,397,068,600 km.
Considering that light goes at 299,792,458 m/s, this would take something going at lightspeed 188,120.37 seconds, or 522.55 hours, or 21.77 days to around it ON ITS SURFACE.
Three weeks to go around it at lightspeed.
Now, we don't know at what distance it would be "safe" to look at it, but let's assume the proportion between the Sun and Mercury should be "safe enough".
Considering that Mercury orbits the Sun at an "average" of about 57,909,050 km (the Sun having a radius of 348,171 km), the extrapolated safe point should be at about 37,322,428,347,494.7 km from the center of the star, or 37,313,452,475,252.7 km from the surface.
Meaning that the orbit (circumference) would be 234,503,733,000,000 km long, so 782,220,255.18 seconds, 2,172,834.04 hours, 90,534.75 days, 248.04 years FOR AN OBJECT GOING AT LIGHTSPEED to orbit.
Unless I've somehow made a mistake in my maths, holy fucking shit.
@@raznaak so that's the closest you could get to it before orbital velocity required to maintain a centrifical balance would exceed the speed of light?
@@illusiveelk2558 I mean, there's a LOT of assumptions I made concerning a thing that defy logic, but I guess that assuming Mercury's distance ratio from the sun is a valid distance from the black hole star is a good guess I guess...
Anyways, it may even be farther than that, as perhaps when it comes to that sheer size things get weird, but theoretical paleoastronomy isn't my thing so eh.
You would probably have to be *at least* a light year away to be looking from a safe distance
