      @@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.

That for reference is about 70% of the distance to the nearest other star besides our Sun, Proxima Centauri.

      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 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.

      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.

However, this video truly introduced something new to me.

      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.

    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! ✨💜💙

    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-

      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.
