    If I fall into a black hole, will my family receive money from the insurance company?
    Because the lawyers and everyone in the company will observe from the outside of the black hole, meaning they can always see my red shifted shape on the event horizon. Which means to them, the accident hasn’t happened and never will, because they will never see me fall into the black hole, but only me falling but slowing down and becoming redder constantly. But from my perspective I did, soooooo....

    1:57 It's actually the other way around. In a supernova the mass of the star is so large that, lacking more radiation pressure of new fusion, it collapses into a black hole anyway. The supernova is a result of the rebound of neutrinos generated in the process racing through the material of the star still outside the Schwarzschild-radius.

  • @Mike__B
    @Mike__B 7 лет назад +34

    Correction over why giant/massive stars make black holes, the super nova is not compressing the core, the gravity of the star and the fact it's no longer making energy to balance out that gravity squeezes the core to become a black hole. Plus there's more than enough mass in the cores of these very massive stars (>25Ms) that they can overcome both electron and neutron degeneracy, so in the end gravity just wins. Even if the star did not explode in a super nova the core would become a black hole.

    • @rocketcrazy3467
      @rocketcrazy3467 7 лет назад +3

      Although, in the end only super big stars and very large combining stars supernova.
      And also the supernova does help creating the black hole, but you are right the star doesn't have to go supernova to create a black hole, if sufficiently massive

    • @JM-us3fr
      @JM-us3fr 7 лет назад +1

      So what causes the explosion? I thought the supernova was the result of the non-core mass rebounding off of an ultra-dense core. It follows that the core cannot be a black hole until after the supernova, otherwise the surrounding mass would just fall into the black hole resulting in no supernova. Isn't that right?

    • @Bodyknock
      @Bodyknock 7 лет назад +3

      Remember the black hole within the core is incredibly, incredibly small compared to the size of the rest of the star. Some of the matter will fall into the hole but a huge amount of matter will miss the hole and ricochet and rebound off everything else near it. Think of it like having a bathtub with a tiny, straw-sized drain and shooting a firehose at the drain. Yes, all the water that directly hits the drain will be gone forever down the drain, but a huge amount of water will miss the drain and bounce back off the tub and water near the drain.

    • @luongmaihunggia
      @luongmaihunggia 7 лет назад +1

      Yes, you are right, super massive stars become black hole because all the fusion reactions in the star have stop and can't no longer push against the star massive gravity so it can't prevent the star from collapse on it self and become a black hole.

    • @Mike__B
      @Mike__B 7 лет назад

      @QED not sure what the latest research says, but I seem to recall it was not well understood. What I got from it "back in the day" was the collapsing layers initiated a massive fusion event since the compression causes temperatures to spike to hotter than the core originally was, this creates all sort of weird things (particle pair creation, rapid fusion, etc) and this sudden burst of energy is what "rebounds" the layers outward. Very similar to white dwarf SN1a creation, where carbon fusion just runs wild once they pass the Chandrasekhar limit and kaboom.

    According to my calculations, assuming an average cat density of around 850 kg*m^-3, I obtained a radius close to 4,34*10^8 km, which is almost 2.9 AU.
    I'm pretty sure of my result but I think that some peer review would be very helpful.
    If you are interested, I did it by finding the radius from the sphere formula and putting it into the Schwartzchild radius formula.
    I than isolated the mass and guessed the cat's density in order to calculate it.
    In the end, I put the newly found mass in the sphere formula in order to get the final radius.

      I obtained a significantly lesser answer (1.36au) since I used 380 kg/m^3 as a cat’s density (8.9 pounds as the mass and 648 in^3 as the volume). I’m not completely sure of my answer though.

    This video misses the third way a black hole can be made not only by mass density but out of pure energy. Its called a kugalblitz and it happens when you pack enough energy into a space that it the energy mass equivalence passes the Swartzschild radius. It takes a lot of energy though.

"after careful analysis the statistics tell us we're biased and even hint at where those biases are or aren't coming into play know the paradox is that we've remained so reluctant to fight our biases even when they're put in plain sight." So after explaining how there can seem to be bias but in fact be down to personal choice of the individual (what college course they chose) your conclusion is "we've remained so reluctant to fight our biases even when they're put in plain sight."

    I know I'm a nerd, but you'll thank me later.
    To find the radius of material where it correlates to the event horizon, I derived this cute little equation.
    z = ~6.2087*10^-27
    p = density
    R = Square root of (1/pz)
    Derivation if anyone's interested:
    Swarschild radius = 2GM/c^2
    R = radius
    M = p×4/3×r^3×pi
    New Swarschild equation
    = (8Gp×pi×r^3)/3c^2
    C, G and pi are constants, so the equation simplifies to (6.2087×10^-27)pr^3
    If Swarschild radius and radius is the same, then
    Z = 6.2087×10^-27
    R = Zpr^3
    1 = Zpr^2
    1/Zp = r^2
    R = Square root of 1/Zp

    I think this would have been a good video to mention the fact that black holes under a certain mass cannot sustain the density required to “stay” a black hole for a significant amount of time.
    Basically, compressing any old mass down to a tiny volume won’t actually work, because the forces inside the tiny black hole pushing out will exceed the force pushing the matter together.

      If you put another planet "gently" onto earth with no velocity with respect to earth alot will happen. Most notably since the earth has an equatorial speed of 465.1 m/s you would expect a massive collision as soon as the planets touch, followed by 1000+ meteroids being swung onto the surfaces of the planets, followed by massive destruction within the first few days. Extinction for sure

    • @LordPelegorn
      @LordPelegorn 7 лет назад +27

      well it depends on the mass of the second planet in relation to earth (obviously).
      if they were the same mass the new center of gravity would at the touching point of the planets which means that at that exact point you would not feel any gravity at all (expect the sun and so on but not from the two planets) meanwhile on the other side of the earth the gravitational pull would all of a sudden double making everything twice "as heavy".
      Of course such a situation would not be stable at all since the matter of the planets would now be pulled towards the new center of gravity and not to the center of the planets anymore probably breaking the earths crust and resulting in huge waves towards that point.
      after long enough the planets would merge to one big one id image

      Yamnasm - that is a bs reason. All comment sections on youtube are "toxic". Just look at a simple top 10 lost. He obviously just did not like disagreement with hiseminist ideas that will always say women are put down even when favored. You say it does not matter who is right or wrong but of everyone agreed with him they would not be disabled.

    So, in the video, you mentioned that the supernova compresses the core of the star to create a black hole, when in reality it's the other way around. In your video on how black holes are incredibly efficient generators, you had it correct. When a star goes supernova, the force of gravity compresses the core beyond the strength of nuclear forces causing all the fermions to stop pushing outwards and collapse into a superdense object. This collapse releases so much gravitational potential energy that it heats up this material, and releases an insane amount of energy literally blowing the everything outside the collapsing region into space.
    The correct statement would be that the gravitational forces and pressure inside a star cause a black hole to form releasing enough energy to make the star go supernova.
    That said, I loved this video, and I appreciate what you do. I dream of someday making video games with accurate physics to help teach kids about physics. Most video games have physics that's grossly inaccurate causing many in the rising generation to believe physics works differently than it does, and what you're doing is helping correct some of these misunderstandings and falsehoods, so I really appreciate the videos on your youtube channel.

    Thank you. I have been looking for a tutorial to hide my cat from my boyfriend for so long. Now I can finally compress it to microscopic size. That hydrolic press will finally become handy after all!

    I went back in time with a black hole, that's why I'm so early

    How about a hydraulic press?

      Hydraullic press can't generate enough force to compress mass into black hole
      +1 sin for asking stupid question *ding!*

      I think the hydraulic press would become a black hole before the cat. Because of its higher density.

      They are part of a strictly static solution of the Einstein equation. Usually we consider only black holes that have come into being, by means of the processes discussed in the video. Then there is no white hole involved. However, it is conceivable that there are 'primordial' or 'eternal' black holes, which originate with the universe itself at the Big Bang. Then a white hole is conceivable. No such hole has been confirmed.
