    What makes black holes special is how small they are. They pack an enormous quantity of mass into a relatively small size. The strength of gravity depends on the amount of mass and how far you are from the centre of mass, the fact that black holes are so small means you can get very close to the centre of mass, meaning their gravity can be super strong.

      "into a relatively small size."
      It feels like you're describing neutron stars more than black holes, since as mentioned by someone above black holes actually (probably) don't have a size. Or an incredibly (not relatively) small one.
      But I guess I'm just being annoying for the sake of it, since if we get close to a neutron star we'd instantly be vaporized and destroyed in every way possible before having the chance to actually die from that fancy super strong gravity.

  • @savmiller8327
    @savmiller8327 2 года назад +67

    Technically speaking, black holes don't have a "size." They have a density so high that if you travelled inside one, space would become a linear dimension and time would become three dimensional (time and space switch essentially). This makes absolutely no intuitive sense, but very little about black holes makes intuitive sense. The diameter of a black hole as we observe it is actually the diameter of its event horizon. The event horizon is the point of no return where even light is too slow to resist the pull of gravity-hence it forms a sphere of absolute darkness.

    • @cottoncatt1186
      @cottoncatt1186 2 года назад +3

      I always had a problem with a massless particule being directly affected by gravity. The bending and the breaking of space-time as we know it is they key, as you pointed out with the switch between space and time.
      The speed of causality, the fastest speed a cause can affect its surrundings with a consequence and an information can travel at, is the speed limit. Light only manage to reach this speed due to its massless particules (no mass, no impediment to movement). It is not suprising that where the event horizon lies, the speed required to orbit the black hole is the speed of causality. Beyond this frontier, space-time as we know it breaks and so the causality in a "normal" space time too.
      Beyond the frontier, as you said, consequences can only travel in space in one and only one spacial direction, no matter the speed or the acceleration : to the singularity. Any event (cause) that happend beyond the frontier will never have consequences that can reach the outside. And from the outside point of view, an observer will only see a black nothingness, a black zone where no event happens (because consequences and informations will never reach him). The frontier is called the event horizon because it is the limit (the horizon) where any cause (event) is still able to affect the outside, the limit where beyond it no event exist from an outside point of view.

    • @ChocciAdam
      @ChocciAdam 2 года назад +2

      @@cottoncatt1186 The event horizon is not where light orbits, it’s the location at which light most point directly away to escape. What you are thinking of is called the innermost stable circular orbit or ISCO, and for a non-rotating black hole that’s 3x the radius of the event horizon. When you cross the event horizon space-time does not “break”. In fact if you fell into a black hole you wouldn’t notice anything special happen when you cross the event horizon. It’s often described that the spatial dimensions become “time like” but this is only true in the sense that all spatial dimensions point to and terminate at the cosmic horizon, which is normally the infinite time horizon but is now the singularity inside a black hole.

    Finding black holes is like playing Sudoku.
    We have a bunch of stuff we CAN see around it, doing weird stuff. That's like the numbers you get to start the Sudoku puzzle. Black holes are like the "solution" to the Sudoku puzzle, where we figure out how everything can fit together to make it work. You see a line with 1-7, then 9, so the solution must be 8. You see a blank spot that a bunch of big stars are getting thrown around by, it must be a black hole.
    We know how gravity and mass work from our own sun and planet. The sun is mass X and has a certain relationship with Earth which is mass Y. So if we see a giant star that is mass Y*9999999999 look like it's in the same relationship with a black hole, we can figure the black hole is mass X*999999999.

      The singularity is the geometric center point of a black hole. At the singularity, density becomes infinite. Which is why classical physics breaks down. The mathematics can no longer meaningfully describe what is...
      The "event horizon" is not a physical boundary. It delineates the point where light cannot escape the gravity of the black hole. If a given black hole is non-rotating, the event horizon would be a sphere with a radius equal to the Schwarzschild radius.

    To answer your question at like 5 minutes in the way a small blackhole would eat up the object next to it is stretch it out in a way known as "spagetification" where the end of an object closer to the center of a blackhole is being pulled on harder. By doing this the object would be dtretched into eventually a steaming line of plasma into the black hole

    To blow your mind for a second time, due to the nature of our understanding of physics, it is theoretically possible that there are things even larger than the things discussed in that video. This is because of the fact that the Observable Universe only equates to the theoretical "age of the universe." I say theoretical, as this "Age" is based on cosmic radiation that is assumed to have been caused/around since the big bang, and the is used to predict both the age and size of the universe.
    However, due to how physics works in our understanding, it's not perfectly accurate due to everything being based on the speed of light. While yes, we have yet to find anything out there that indeed does seem to be older than the estimated age of the universe, the universe is so mind-bogglingly large, that it might take a further billion-billion years to discover such a thing.
    Now, don't get me wrong, I am not outright disputing the age of the universe, as I have no proof to believe it's wrong. However, with the nature of science, the absence of proof does not exactly mean either way. That is to say, just because we haven't found something like that yet, does not mean it doesn't exist. It just means it's so far away that nothing we've developed can detect it.
    Yet.

    Looking at black holes is like watching a guy get his ass kicked by an invisible man. You can figure out how strong the invisible man is by how hard the guy gets punched, fist size by the bruising, and shoe size by the bloody footprints, but it's all just educated guesswork.
    My favorite thing to remember about black holes is that when they talk about "size," they mean the event horizon (the point at which everything goes black because not even light can escape). But black holes are more like the whirlpool when you drain a bathtub, and the hole everything gets sucked into is actually INFINITELY SMALL! Black holes differ in mass (and therefore the strength/distance at which they suck things in), but all of them are just pinpricks in spacetime!

  • @Ruosteinenknight

  • @TsarDragon
    @TsarDragon 2 года назад

    What I find amazing is how all black holes are the same size (physically but not visually) since all of the mass is described as being compressed in an "infinitely small space", which means it also has an infinite density.
    When we talk about the size of a black hole we're actually referring to the 3-dimensional shadow it casts (the black ball that we see in all the pictures). It's like a super particle that can't be touched by anything without being annihilated. Terrifying yet it makes me excited to know such crazy shit exists out there.

    The other problem in studying black holes is that we are looking at the past when looking at space. For example, a space object 1 billion light years away from us will only finally be visible 1 billion years after its birth. Therefore, we would see how the object was 1 billion year ago, not how it is now. Another example is that the Sun is 10 light minutes away from us, so we only see the Sun how it was 10 minutes ago.
    Using this logic, we technically have no clue how any of the observed black holes really look like at the moment since they are probably millions of light years away from us.

    A last point, and it's sad they didn't tell it in the video. The "Size" of the black hole here is the size of the event horizon, the sphere where light cannot escape. but the actual size of the singularity, where all te mass is concentrate have a size of : 0. yes, no size, no volume, just a point in the universe with infinite density.

  • @Canada_Goose
    @Canada_Goose 2 года назад +1

    Black holes are technically infinitely small particles with near infinite mass and what we see as there surface is the event horizon, or the point of no return, which is the area that even moving at the speed of light, you can't escape the blackhole's gravity.there is a theory that a blackhole is actually a Planck, which is the smallest a distance can be without becoming a blackhole. A Blackhole's gravity can be 1 million times stronger than earth's and 1 billion times stronger than the sun's gravity 1 inch(2 and a half centimeters) closer making you feel more gravity closer and causing the part of you closer to the blackhole thinner and longer, this process is called spaghettification, in other words virtually infinitely long spaghetti anyone?
    Edit:the way scientists find blackholes is that they find thing orbiting nothing or large amounts of gravity be emitted by nothing.

    Well Lav, the reason why high mass is being contained in small size... well not even a reason, it has it's own name aka it has high density (kg/m^3), and if we talk of density of Black Holes, it gets ridiculously high, the distance between subatomic components there is approaching zero which practically makes it able to approach really small sizes despite they huge mass

    5:10 being small is what black holes do, typically. The reason they exist is because the matter in said object is unable to cope with the amount of mass in the object, and being unable to combat the levels of gravity, it infinitely collapses in on itself, to what we believe to be an infinitesimally small point.

    When we talk about the size of a black hole, we’re talking about the size of the sphere within which the pull of the black hole’s gravity is so great that nothing can escape, even if traveling at the speed of light. That’s the Schwarzchild radius. We can calculate that easily because we know how the force of gravity relates to mass and the escape velocity of objects.

  • @ashoif77

    Black holes are far more dense then they are large. In fact, by thier very nature they're suppose to be small. They crush the most amount of material possible, into the smallest space possible
    A black hole with the diameter of a nickel would be slightly more massive than the Earth.
