    I like how the 2 possible options for falling into a black hole are:
    1. a quick death
    2. a VERY quick death

    • @lilysantiago679
      @lilysantiago679 Год назад +11

      1. If you were going inside a black hole, near the center, you would be brutally crushed to death. 2. Black holes did not have fire inside it. It can't be. And finally,
      you would not go out of the black hole. Even faster than the speed of light.

    I love how the concept of death isn't scary in the video, yet its calmy explained, I really love that. Death is part of life and it will eventually happen to all humans, planets, stars, galaxies, black wholes, the entire universe. Although, humans can still witness a lot of amazing discoveries in their life times before we all part.

    If at the end of your life you could be sent into a black hole and fall into it, would you do it? Speaking about a supermassive black hole that would allow you to "see what's inside" without dying... this is a question that always makes me doubt, because imagine you survive and reach the singularity alive. Once you are there, perhaps there is no time. An eternity inside a black hole, but having satisfied your curiosity, knowing what's inside...

      But fun fact, despite magnetic field does not really affect us at all, being close to magnetar would mean the super intense magnetic field would affect how atoms in our bodies work :D

      Dash Vahzy You go forward in time all the time. And you have infinite distance to traverse towards the singularity (look up spacetime distortion by gravity), so it doesn't matter that you fall near speed of light, you won't reach it before the universe ends.
      In my opinion you can't ever reach the singularity physically because with time dilatation your DeBroglie wavelength rises and makes you too big to fit into the thinning space around the singularity, assuming there is one.

      What I find crazy is that space and time is intertwined. If you take your hands in front of you, pretending like you are holding a ball, between your hands you have space, space that can be bent with enough energy, and if you bend this space you also skew time, so if you compress the space between your hands you have a region where time will move slower relative to you, same principle as you feet right now are aging slower then your head, your feet and head does not experience the same time. Or when a person is walking towards you, you actually see him/her walking in slowmotion. We are living in directions, 4 directions currently known, time is 4th. That's why Einstein was quite the big deal :). Intergalactic travel does not only cause a danger of hitting de-bree, but time is relative, come back to Earth and it may not be there anymore.

    In 9th grade Earth Science, we very briefly learned about black holes, the life cycle of a sun, etc, but we never dove too deeply. It was just "event horizon" and "spagettification", and the doom of our sun billions of years in the future.
    I wish I learned about the intensity of black holes in that class, when I was 15. Learning about it now, it's so scary that it's beautiful to me. I'd hear phrases like "They have a black hole for a stomach," or "Our house is a black hole - once something enters, it's gone forever." But I've never known JUST how fucked these things are, and they're REAL. They're OUT THERE.
    If we had been shown these videos back in 9th grade, I'd see the universe so differently than I did until I hit about 20 years old.

      its a hard truth so don't worry about that. worry about what you can do in the time you have what can you improve how can you help the people around you.
      you don't have to build a device that can fix all the worlds issues but what you can do is help the people in your area make their lives a little better and make yours better then you will have lived a good life.

    The idea that black holes will evaporate through Hawking Radiation may be true, but at the present, this is still very speculative. We don't yet have a unified theory of gravity and quantum mechanics, so we can't yet be confident as to what is really happening in this situation.

    @AnnatalaWolf 8 лет назад +1240

    It's me again! Ms. Scientific Buzzkill here to point out errors in the video. Apologies in advance, etc.
    Fortunately, there are only two notable mistakes. However, one of them is a major mistake.
    The major mistake: _"as you enter the black hole you'll see the world around you speed up"_. This is 100% false, and it isn't surprising that Shortspeak oopsed on this one because this is an extremely common misperception perpetuated in science fiction (many physicists mix this one up, even). Here are the facts.
    While it _is_ true that somepony watching you from a distance will see time appear to slow down for you, the traveller sees no relativistic effects of any kind. Why? It's because you're currently in free-fall. Consider standing on Earth: the pressure from the ground is accelerating you away from the center (the normal force counters the gravitational force). This causes time to pass at a different rate for you-it's not just the gravity making time pass more slowly, but the normal force opposing the gravity that causes you to constantly "accelerate away" from the center of the Earth. That constant acceleration _against_ gravity is what produces the relativistic effects (such as time passing more slowly in a valley than on a mountaintop).
    If you were falling into a black hole, it would be possible to see time speed up, but for that to happen you would need to _accelerate away from the singularity as you fell in_. That acceleration would change your inertial frame of reference and produce the relativistic effects you would typically associate with acceleration. You actually _would_ be aging more slowly than the world around you. If you stood on the surface of a neutron star (forgiving the extreme impossibility), you would also age more slowly and see the universe age more rapidly, but again that's because the surface pressure would be accelerating you. Gravity by itself is always finite and only accelerates you at a finite rate, even for a mass as large as a black hole.
    The reason for the disparity in the observer's view and reality is that the appearance of time slowing down for an observer on the outside is strictly an _illusionary_ one. It is not a true relativistic effect. Rather, it's caused by the interference between the gravity of the black hole and the ability for the light of an infalling object to reach your eyes. It's easy to get these confused because people are often taught about relativity using examples that are familiar, such as imagining a clock slowing down as it moves away from you faster and faster because of light propagating more slowly to your eyes. (This is a completely false thought experiment, because the speed of light relative to the viewer doesn't change no matter how fast the object moves.)
    Think critically for a moment to confirm this. Nothing slows down because it's approaching a singularity. The same laws apply as with any gravitational mass: the black hole has finite mass, and it accelerates you toward it at a finite rate of acceleration. That can be used to calculate precisely when you hit the singularity, which must occur within a finite period of time. For time to stop you'd have to accelerate to infinite speed, and clearly that never happens. This should provide insight into the fact that the visual appearance is an illusion, rather than actual time dilation.
    To sum up: yes, an observer would see you slow down and never enter the event horizon (and consequently, you never end up seeing yourself enter the horizon, either, but that's a much more complicated lesson). However, this is an _illusionary_ effect and, not a true relativistic effect! After accounting for the time it takes light to reach their eyes, the observer would correctly deduce that you had long since passed through the event horizon and struck the singularity. The traveller would see no speed-up of time whatsoever, although the sky would end up getting smashed into a thin line perpendicular to the direction of travel (but again, that's a more complicated lesson).
    The second mistake is much more subtle. The circle you see is not actually the true event horizon of the black hole. Black holes appear larger than they are, in some sense due to visual effects; but even when you account for that, the boundary you are looking at represents the photon sphere rather than the horizon. Light that enters the black hole from the outside the black hole won't appear within that boundary because light doesn't change direction on its own, and it was headed into the black hole when it was emitted. However, if you see matter fall into the black hole, it will pass through this boundary and still be visible for a while. That's because light reflecting _off_ of the matter wasn't headed into the black hole when it was reflected. :) That light is headed in the opposite direction, away from the singularity, and until you hit the event horizon that light is still going to reach you (even though light already headed _toward_ the black hole at that point is doomed).
    As always, I only nitpick because I love.

Everytime I was headed straight for it I closed my eyes and I went back in time to the first time I spotted it, which was 3months ago with my brother, and like I knew it was gunna happen and I told everyone but no one believed me. It was the scariest thing ever because you knew EVERYONE was gunna die. The atmosphere went purple, things got super ripped apart and degraded, some people went up to it and accepted they're death, it kept getting bigger in the sky, I died the first time by running away but the ground beneath me broke and I was instantly in the air n died, the next time I tried to tell see it up close and when I got to this bridge it pulled me in, the third time I tried to figure out ways to stop my death bit I realized there was nothing I could ever hope to do to stop it. The last time I died to the black hole I had my eyes open which made it 20times as scary. N I swear to God it felt so real and looked so real. When I reached the surface of it, it was completely dark, and then I think I saw god. Or a deity in there but for second. Then I woke up, I went straight to this video bc I just needed to learn abt then after this experience. Hope Im never around to die to a black hole.

    What if the whole reason why we can’t see light pass the event horizon on a black hole is there is a point at which the speed of a photon is so fast that it “teleports” from one point to another in an elliptical manor of orbit due to the intense gravity of the object aka black hole. Meaning, once an object gains so much mass that a threshold that gets passed where its gravity is strong enough to teleport the photon so fast from point a to point b that we just can’t see it physically speaking as it travels it’s orbit around the black hole. That’s why some of these black holes have rings of light on them emulating from the elliptical orbit of these photons . Photons that we thought couldn’t be manipulated by gravity to such great measures. Then say a dying star crushes down these atoms into new elements that we have never seen before because of the immense pressures. Something that can be super super condensed and small, giving a massive weight and gravitational pull to an object even though it is much smaller than other objects, its size. That's why when things hit their event horizon, it rips apart because the gravitational pool is so strong it rips things down to even smaller atoms and molecules and condenses them once at its center point. I dunno a better way to explain it but it’s worth a thought.
