As a physicist once told me: Quarks are strange - if you try to separate them the energy used creates new ones. This is comparable to pulling on a rubber band so hard that, instead of breaking, a new rubber band pops into existence and the original reverts to its original position.
But what if they aren't dangerous? What if they're actually just superpowered elves that run around making sure nobody kills the universe before them but then they get so preoccupied they forget to destroy the universe?
Having come back to this video after seeing a lot of theoretical apocalypse scenarios, it occurs to me that a lot of those scenarios can be summed up as "Our destruction would be instant, unavoidable, and we would have no idea it was about to happen beforehand because it would hit us at the speed of light." Just a lovely little thought. Instant, spontaneous annihilation.
It really makes me wonder if and how mankind could go extinct, or if mankind would just keep pushing and living on until the last black hole in the universe dies out, and then humans would eventually run out of energy and resources and die
Pushing strange matter into black holes is like when the main villain in the cartoon needs to join forces with the hero of the story to defeat an even more powerful villain.
Lmao, although it'd be more accurate to say that the arrogant main villain helps the hero destroy the new villain because only he has the right to torment the hero and test his strength.
@@reasonablyobsessed If by the light around the black hole you mean the accretion disk then that matter could probably become strange, but it probably wouldn't matter too much because its about to get sucked into the black hole anyway. As for the black hole itself, it probably wouldn't matter if it became strange because all that matter will still be in the singularity, with no hopes of getting out.
It violated a lot of rules during the oversimplification . Their representations of the quarks are quite outdated . We use a Y bend to represent the bonding between the quarks . Also, according to Quantum Chromo mechanics , there can be any odd number of quarks in a proton . But as they said : oversimplification.
Raja Sundar Precisely, there are a lot of oversimplifications for the sake of general understanding. These videos are made for people who are just getting into science, math, and physics, not for experienced people. Still, they do a really great job and the animations are beautiful.
I think a Spore-like universe creation game made by you in your art style would be the coolest thing. Like say you're at the begining of the universe and the conditions are right to form a neutron star and the player decides whether it collapses into a black hole or not and whatever decision the player makes sets conditions for the future of the system. Once you've created the conditions for a planet to harbor life, you begin the planet stage and control conditions and events on the planet until the conditions create intelligent life. Once they reach their space age you go back to space and control their exploration and conditions of colonized planets. I'd play the hell out of something like that.
This does sound like a good idea for a game. You shouldnt hand out good ideas for free in the comments...instead, with a little development and the right team, you could make it a reality and who knows where that could lead?
It'd be more like "I am the perfect one. Become perfect with me or live life as a lame, unstable short lived mortal" And literally any matter would just- "ok"
Lol as funny as that is, its impossible, Black holes are the complete opposite of neutrom stars and would just turn strange matter into dark matter like anything else.
Deathstar 699 Black holes don't turn matter into dark matter. we don't know anything about dark matter other than that it's gravity interacts with regular matter

I have to really thank you for your consistent use of "could," "might be," and "it's possible" throughout this video. Too many things I've seen discussing topics we are only hypothesizing about state things very matter of factly, as if we know this is how it all is. As such, this ends up with more scientific integrity, and I appreciate that.
Ragd0ll - I like to be paranoid about these things, gives me more motivation to live life like it could end tomorrow, because it could (gamma ray bursts/ strange matter) etc
The idea that something like just casually existing in our universe is freaking terrifying to me. I watched this as a kid, and it was one of the many things that added to my pre-mature existential dread. And just watching the 1 minute clip explaining what this stuff could do to us was enough to instantly freak me the hell out and send me into the brink of tears. Even while writing this j feel scared. Thanks Kurz, just a what I needed at 11pm.
I'm not mad tbh, the most intelligent comments you find in a normal youtube comment section are usually still mind numbingly stupid, it's insane how much bullshit there is on this site
Can we take in and appreciate the work that goes into these videos. It’s truly amazing and I learn so much from it. Absolutely astonishing! Keep up the great work!
Vacuum decay can't catch up with expansion, so it depends on where the two occur in this hypothetical scenario. If they happen within the horizon of each other, vacuum decay would change the fundamental rules that allow quarks (strange or otherwise) to exist. If they don't happen within the horizon of each other, they go on blissfully unaware of each other. Both are extremely unlikely to be true, though. Both require a bare assertion to be accepted - that they are a more stable energy state than what the universe settled into after 14.7+ billion years of numerous extreme conditions.
Stangelets will have to start working fast, considering the universe is expanding exponentially. If it waits a few millions or billions of years, eventually there will be parts it'll never reach, because space is expanding so fast.
@@Cakemagic1 Actually, it's far too late for it to reach the entire universe from any given point. We can see the CMB in every direction, which is too early in the universe for star formation and shows uniform mixing of the early universe up to that point. The oldest things we can see in one direction inherently could never interact with the things we see in the other direction.
You can. 1. Separate each of their videos into long compilations of bitmap images (which is what a video is, a huge compilation of pictures). 2. Convert the bitmaps into binary. Use C programming language to read in each bitmap and convert from ASCII to binary. 3. Engrave a microscopic chunk of quartz with the binary using an electron microscope. 4. Put the piece of quartz into saline solution and inject.
@@IOIO6 The translation for Quark you're looking for is curd. And yeah, although we rather eat it with something called Rote Grütze than with common marmalade. It also fits really good with potatoes, if you mix it with linseed oil, salt and little bits of chives in it.
I have one question. If strange matter was to be put into a black hole, could it convert the singularity into strange matter? What would happen then, would it change into something horrific or just be a black hole except with a funky singularity?
The answer is…maybe, but it makes zero difference. Nothing is more dense than a black hole’s singularity. period. A “strange” black hole would be entirely identical to any other black hole of comparable size.
On the outside? Absolutely nothing would happen. On the inside? No one can know or even attempt to guess. Things inside a black hole are so weird and unpredictable that there is literally no way to guess what goes on there. All our rules of space and time and matter and energy don’t just break, they cease to exist entirely. Infinity becomes possible and exists alongside negative infinity. A singularity is infinitely small yet at the same time is infinitely large as soon as you cross the event horizon.
The information paradox dictates that all matter falling into a black hole is effectively eliminated from existence once it reaches the horizon it doesn’t matter if it was strange because now it’s just more black hole
@@rolan4dezwinz381 ? I mean, thats literally what he fucking explained in the video, it would condense the earth into a microscopic ball, with the same mass, but small. It would literally kill us, like actually watch the video 🤣🤣
Beautiful animation, every video is designed so incredibly well. We appreciate all the time and effort put into these videos, it pays off. Also the narrator could definitely be the new David Attenborough. Keep up the brilliant work
@@arkuess9066 Oh god I didn't even realise. I wish I could say I'm an absolute pun genius but it's just a happy accident, like the invention of the microwave.
Strange quark: Hey do you want to know about our religion? It's stable, perfect and dense. Every other flavour of quark: *I'm interested* -converts to strange quark-
Actually, it looks much cooler and fancier than, say, blowing up stars and spawning black holes which, I believe, became somewhat usual ways to write super-advanced aliens (as usual as they can be).
They could make a gun that looks like a laser gun until you realize it is shooting a compressed jet of strange quarks instead of light. Godzilla's atomic breath with some cosmic power up. Of course since it would be moving at a % of light speed and it is super dense strange matter, it would obliterate whatever it impacts before converting it to strange matter.
If you consider Kurge said theres a way to move stars by throwing their mass to where you want, you could do this but with Strange Stars and instead of being slow enough for it to stay in place its would be launched at high speeds. To contain strangelets inside some kind of magazine it would need a imense power to keep the inside of the gun in absolute vacuum to prevent air turning into strange matter, and a gravitation system to prevent the strangelet from touching anything that isnt a atom or matter. Strangelets guns probally would be only viable in space since any kind of atmosphere is made of matter too, so only in space where theres no matter to get transformed
@@entropy8634 But seeing as "activation energy" would be greatly more abundant at the beginning of the universe, due to the universe being much hotter and denser, wouldn't it be more likely for strange matter to have consumed the universe then than pose any threat to us now?
@@j.athanasius9832 it's also possible that strange matter at beginning transformed into micro black hole (which eventually grows to supermasive black holes in centers of galaxies). That would rip apart any matter including strange. I'm just guessing, cause your question might actually need tons of math to answer. In my analogy, it skips ash and goes straight to CO2
@@h_pandher4275 old? m old? shiii. If you never watched it, but do have time for endless postponing... do watch 300 something episodes that just make arcs of dragonball z (saiyan arc, frieza arc, androids arc, buu arc). There are few fillers and movies specials too, all relating to stories happening in between Z arcs. They are usually not cannon (they become unofficial... even tho they were once official, but creators decided they don't fit with where story wants to go) and are remade later in dragon ball super (next in life after Z). If you really don't have anything to do in your life, watch dragon ball>dragon ball z>dragon ball super. Movies and fillers are optional. You will have to discover them as you go. Oh yes, there are also basically tad bit different copies like dragon ball gt, but it is not cannon. So, just follow the route I mentioned before and watch dragon ball gt if you really fall for the anime and had already watched everything else before.
Strange matter has apparently been made in particle accelerators quite a few times. What Kurzgesagt didn't mention is that these strangelets decay immediately. It could only exist under extreme conditions
Yes. That is correct. They are only formed under extreme conditions. But even if they could persist, it wouldn’t do anything. Because it is not those strange matters that zombiefy everything. It is the gravity when they are crowded into tiny volume.
Maybe a dense clump of strange matter could create its own extreme conditions, because it's a lot of mass compressed into a tiny space. That means extreme gravity and hence also extreme pressure.
Thx, now im gonna add strangelets to my Kurzgesagt fear list: gamma ray bursts, black holes, supernovas, nukes, robots, vacuum decay, alien life, and now strangelets

I have to really thank you for your consistent use of "could," "might be," and "it's possible" throughout this video. Too many things I've seen discussing topics we are only hypothesizing about state things very matter of factly, as if we know this is how it all is.
As such, this ends up with more scientific integrity, and I appreciate that.

Who would win
The Unstoppable Vacuum Decay
Or
Some strange bois
i would vote for vacuum decay... cause many of the neutron stars collided by the time we are here.. so everything should be already strange matter
Vacuum decay can't catch up with expansion, so it depends on where the two occur in this hypothetical scenario. If they happen within the horizon of each other, vacuum decay would change the fundamental rules that allow quarks (strange or otherwise) to exist. If they don't happen within the horizon of each other, they go on blissfully unaware of each other.
Both are extremely unlikely to be true, though. Both require a bare assertion to be accepted - that they are a more stable energy state than what the universe settled into after 14.7+ billion years of numerous extreme conditions.
@@Merennulli is speaking the language of gods
Stangelets will have to start working fast, considering the universe is expanding exponentially. If it waits a few millions or billions of years, eventually there will be parts it'll never reach, because space is expanding so fast.
@@Cakemagic1 Actually, it's far too late for it to reach the entire universe from any given point. We can see the CMB in every direction, which is too early in the universe for star formation and shows uniform mixing of the early universe up to that point. The oldest things we can see in one direction inherently could never interact with the things we see in the other direction.

You can.

2. Convert the bitmaps into binary. Use C programming language to read in each bitmap and convert from ASCII to binary.
3. Engrave a microscopic chunk of quartz with the binary using an electron microscope.

I have one question. If strange matter was to be put into a black hole, could it convert the singularity into strange matter? What would happen then, would it change into something horrific or just be a black hole except with a funky singularity?
The answer is…maybe, but it makes zero difference.
Nothing is more dense than a black hole’s singularity. period. A “strange” black hole would be entirely identical to any other black hole of comparable size.
@@AJSSPACEPLACE Maybe black holes are 'strange' on the inside
On the outside? Absolutely nothing would happen. On the inside? No one can know or even attempt to guess. Things inside a black hole are so weird and unpredictable that there is literally no way to guess what goes on there. All our rules of space and time and matter and energy don’t just break, they cease to exist entirely. Infinity becomes possible and exists alongside negative infinity. A singularity is infinitely small yet at the same time is infinitely large as soon as you cross the event horizon.
The information paradox dictates that all matter falling into a black hole is effectively eliminated from existence once it reaches the horizon it doesn’t matter if it was strange because now it’s just more black hole
Strange matter would also get spaghettified and get absorb by the black hole. It would basically become a singularity
You know it’s weird when it’s scientific name is literally ‘strange’
There are many weird names like that in astrophysics.
Especially for the very extreme phenomena like falling into a black hole.

Here's a weird question: Could a REALLY advanced alien civilization make some kind of weapon that shoots strangelets?
Maybe, if they are very advanced.
Actually, it looks much cooler and fancier than, say, blowing up stars and spawning black holes which, I believe, became somewhat usual ways to write super-advanced aliens (as usual as they can be).
They could make a gun that looks like a laser gun until you realize it is shooting a compressed jet of strange quarks instead of light. Godzilla's atomic breath with some cosmic power up. Of course since it would be moving at a % of light speed and it is super dense strange matter, it would obliterate whatever it impacts before converting it to strange matter.
If you consider Kurge said theres a way to move stars by throwing their mass to where you want, you could do this but with Strange Stars and instead of being slow enough for it to stay in place its would be launched at high speeds. To contain strangelets inside some kind of magazine it would need a imense power to keep the inside of the gun in absolute vacuum to prevent air turning into strange matter, and a gravitation system to prevent the strangelet from touching anything that isnt a atom or matter. Strangelets guns probally would be only viable in space since any kind of atmosphere is made of matter too, so only in space where theres no matter to get transformed
Wouldn’t the gun itself turn to strange matter?

Question: If Strange Matter is hyper-stable self-replicating, why didn't it take over during the formation of the universe?
It's probably similar to why if ash is so stable, why don't all wood burn: activation energy
@@entropy8634 that's actually a good explanation
@@entropy8634 But seeing as "activation energy" would be greatly more abundant at the beginning of the universe, due to the universe being much hotter and denser, wouldn't it be more likely for strange matter to have consumed the universe then than pose any threat to us now?
@@j.athanasius9832 it's also possible that strange matter at beginning transformed into micro black hole (which eventually grows to supermasive black holes in centers of galaxies). That would rip apart any matter including strange.
I'm just guessing, cause your question might actually need tons of math to answer.
In my analogy, it skips ash and goes straight to CO2
It didn't happen that way because God wanted earth and all of creation to actually exist as he intended it to.

If you never watched it, but do have time for endless postponing... do watch 300 something episodes that just make arcs of dragonball z (saiyan arc, frieza arc, androids arc, buu arc). There are few fillers and movies specials too, all relating to stories happening in between Z arcs. They are usually not cannon (they become unofficial... even tho they were once official, but creators decided they don't fit with where story wants to go) and are remade later in dragon ball super (next in life after Z). If you really don't have anything to do in your life, watch dragon ball>dragon ball z>dragon ball super. Movies and fillers are optional. You will have to discover them as you go. Oh yes, there are also basically tad bit different copies like dragon ball gt, but it is not cannon.

Strange matter has apparently been made in particle accelerators quite a few times. What Kurzgesagt didn't mention is that these strangelets decay immediately. It could only exist under extreme conditions
Yes. That is correct. They are only formed under extreme conditions. But even if they could persist, it wouldn’t do anything. Because it is not those strange matters that zombiefy everything. It is the gravity when they are crowded into tiny volume.
Maybe a dense clump of strange matter could create its own extreme conditions, because it's a lot of mass compressed into a tiny space. That means extreme gravity and hence also extreme pressure.
