A black hole is a region in space where the force of gravity is so strong, not even light can escape. What intrigues the most about these mysterious objects in our universe?
My opinion: I don't think that black holes are just “holes“ without a surface because that would just make no sense.
spaghettification.
The theories about how the laws of physics are broken are the most fascinating thing. It redefines how we can even measure them...or whether we observe them "correctly".
I would say rather that the laws of physics are not broken but that we do not understand all the laws of physics. To say that something is broken implies that is should normally not be broken. The laws are just different in black holes
dose anyone know what happens inside?
Wish I could live long enough to see human kind progress into space travelling and find out which secrets our universe holds, which new materials we could find, finding life on a planet, new types of energy, new dimensions and black holes.
@Dogifish 2500? That's VERY optimistic
That’s even IF earth or humanity survives that long. It’s too bad none of us will though.
Oh sure! besides if it turns out that there is no space! 99% of it is not seen in kind! But everyone believes that he is! 👍

Sort of like my wife
@@harrybooth6956 haha you deserve 1k likes for this reply
Beautiful in the metaphysical sense? I mean beauty is usually associated with vision, which involves light reflecting off of something with a physical surface. A black hole cannot reflect light because the light gets trapped in its void, which is the opposite of a surface, so it's invisible.

All the greed and power of people on earth will vanish in just 1 black hole. Life is short guys Be kind always
Is this a threat
Our neighbourhood blackhole has been discovered..it's name is.. Unicorn..just 1500 light years afar.
All the kindness and good deeds of people on the earth will vanish in just 1 blackhole. Life is short guys Live your life your way😏
How can a poor people afford to travel in space and get lost in black hole ?

Incredible to think we're just a tiny microscopic part of this gigantic universe.
The earth is like a grain of sand on the biggest planet out there compared to a black hole. Scary stuff.
I am fascinated by this "universe subject" but I don't think I'm smart enough to study/understand it.

This reminded me of how small we are in this galaxy amongst others
Don't live in that existencial crisis. Live in a much bigger existencial crisis😭
makes me feel skinny 🧜🏻♀️
We don't even exist in the comprehension of universe...
Hey but be motivated, we may be small... But we are definitely dense.
Universe is big, expanding far out. People are dense and complex, going far minute even smaller than subatomic particles, which form everything all around. I’ve come to realize there is order and patterns in the forming of things at different levels -which means n0n-random. Random means mess and no order, no structure, which means nothingness and meaninglessness. But there’s so much structure in things to be able to form. You can’t have so much order and structure if everything were meaningless and directionless. This is one of the reasons for the belief in intelligent design/intelligent designer/ intelligent Creator outside and inside of the universe. Keep searching -‘search and you will find.’ God Bless :)
I just love science when it talks about universe❤️
yeah all the speculation and guessing .. i especially like the hand drawn and coloured pictures from hubble that arent really there , that was a kick in the nads
I love science too.
It's called Astronomy if you want to study in it
Bro I think I know you 🤔🤔
☺️💯❣️
that’s the scariest and fascinating thing i’ve ever seen, the most interesting question for me is, where do all the materials go when they are being sucked into the hole, and is there something that can escape from this enormous power
It is thought that the matter that goes into a black hole gets crushed into a tiny point at the center called a "singularity". That's the only place that matter is, so if you were to fall into a black hole you wouldn't hit a surface as you would with a normal star. And nope there is nothing that can escape black hole .
Redistributes the energy and grows the Cosmos?
What if all the matter light etc... that gets sucked into a black hole explodes into a solar system or a sun on the other side? What if another sun is created on the other side and that in turn created created a wormhole tunnel which collapsed a different section and region of space and created another Sun? What if the Cosmos' architecture is similar and akin to the human brain? What if the Cosmos recycles itself?
@@eugenechun4140 I think you're on to something! You should present your theory to NASA.
@@swatdog2820 I was recently thinking that certain stars or suns displace space itself to form a funnel or tunnel that creates another sun, but I don't know for sure and that this process repeats itself.
the passion you put into your videos is palpable, it’s inspiring! ❤️
Background music is also absorbed by the black holes.
Lol
Yes
😂
Haha benar juga
Hahaha
This is one of the reasons why i want to study astronomy and astrophysics in University, because I think it's both beautiful and interesting
I’m a computer science student and take Astronomy classes frequently.
@@IssyFishyy Oh really?
Did you end up going for it?

This is extremely helpful! This is truly the most I had ever understood about black holes (other than the report I got back from my doctor regarding these pesky hemorrhoids) 🙂

These short " universe related " videos are absolutely phenomenal.
2015: Sent humans to mars 2050: sent humans to black hole
Humans to mars,? Not yet
When is 2050
Nilam Khatry in 30 years 🥴
Humans don't go to black hole because if you have a light speed than you required 6million year to reach blackhole
Martian released in 2015.. That was a movie ...🤦♂️
what if a black hole is a portal to an alternate universe
Yes it is , If you can survive it's mass pressure...
shinchan and doremon it’s only a theory and it would be physically impossible for a black hole to be a portal because a black holes density is almost infinite and it would only just slow down time due to the immense graving pull that it has on spacetime
M A R V basically a black hole is just a very unstable time machine
Stop believing in Marvel's Pseudo-Science.

Black Holes: Hello guys today we are doing a galaxy mukbang
Every black hole documentary: "Nothing, not even light, can escape"
Somehow, it makes me want to fall into it.
No. Even lights can't escape
Imagine if it's a time portal
call of the void
Well, then have a fun time being simultaneously being stretched, crushed, brunt alive, frozen in time, While have your atoms ripped and turned inside out.
It would better than dying by getting old or a accident.
Nice. Learned alot about Black Holes
Fascinating !
It's amazing how something so infinitely small is harder to picture that something infinitely big.

Excellent information
In my childhood, I used to get a very strange, terrifying dream, after which I was scared to go back to sleep, fearing the nightmare would return. The dream was like this. Darkness has no mass, as far as we know. But imagine all that darkness condensing, shrinking into a dense mass of body, like a ball, like dough. I no longer have that dream. But when I later read about the blackhole, I could understand the concept very well.
I had same dreams. Its like u shrink into darkness and everything used to being bigger in all area without any of light at all. This dream will take me when i mostly at some point so tired or get flu/high temp. When i hold one of my finger it will become bigger and biggger. its like hallucination but i didt really sleep at that time. I wonder whats kind of dream is that but suppose human can travel thru space and time in their brains. Sometimes i'd dream about some place that i didnt arrived yet for several times and at some time when i come to the exact place i noticed that id already been there. And after that the dream about that place is gone forever. This kind of dreams that i really remember was 3 places.
I had this dream many times in my childhood. were there was a big dark rock, it was getting bigger and bigger like a dough, eating and killing everything on its way. I was trying to rescue everybody but it always catched me and that woked me up
After watching past 0:37, the video reminded me of how little we actually know about the universe
Yes..do we are..we are just negligible.
What we know is a drop of an ocean what we dont know is an ocean
Most overrated black hole phrase "NOT EVEN LIGHT CAN ESCAPE"
Hahahaha I was waiting for this comment.
Only they can do this so it is obvious to use this phrase while introducing them
It isn't overrated. It is what it is.
I can't say it's the most overrated, but it certainly would be near the top of such a list. It is, however, a simple phrase that can help non physics people to gain some understanding.
It is not overrated. It actually explains why the black hole IS black and why we will never be able to see it! The blackness comes from the fact that the incredible strong gravity even swallows light, which is a mindblown thing that is always worth mentioning!
I really love Learning about them 😎
the scariest part even if u get into it and get the information you’ll never be able to tell the information
Can black holes like... eat themselves? and can if humans invented anything faster than light, could it escape from a black hole? What happens inside a black hole?
I don't think inventing and object faster than light is possible, I think it would just explode.
One of the rare times when a lack of music actually adds to the experience. Nice touch!
astronomy is fascinating and magnificent!
hello My name is Indriyani, I go to school at SMK BAKTI NUSA Bogor Indonesia and I am in grade 11, after I saw the video above, I can see what is happening At the center of our galaxy, how a rotating supermassive black hole is pictured. I also learned about types of black holes, such as how they look like, and how scientists find these invisible but extraordinary objects in our universe. Very interesting video and fantastic knowledge that is very useful. I hope that many students see the video as a learning medium. Thank you.
thank you.
These “101” vids are fantastic!
Human beings are a universe of atoms and an atom in the universe 😊 I read it somewhere.

We're glad you enjoyed watching, Brian! Never stop exploring.
thanks for giving me information.
This is very useful about black holes
today ted-ed also uploaded the video on the exact same subject, is there something we should be prepared for?
omg i just watched it like seconds agoo!!
If you are referring to the preparation of a black hole encounter, I think you might've missed the gist of what a black hole eats for breakfast. If not, my bad, dude.
There has been a report of a black hole moving at a rate very fast coming our way
The apoCATlypse!
earth is going to be eaten by a black hole I guess
can we just have a moment of silence for the cameraman that went into the black hole
Lol 🤣🤣

Mind blowing stuff
Why I haven't teachers like u in my school? Thanks Mam U explained very well
This video explains it better for me... it's so hard to be a visual learner most especially if it's about astronomy. Thank you =)
Please Nat Geo, will you make the next video about dimensions?? Please vote if anybody wants to watch too.
this is so cool! make more viseo's!!!
I like to think that when you fall into a black hole, realty itself unravels. pretty trippy stuff!
And now , the picture of one has been taken! milestone!
If light can’t escape black holes, then why do quasars happen. “Nailed it”
quasars are black holes spitting matter. there is no black hole is big enough to consume all the universe. They have limits on their 'belly' capacity.

Wow 4 likes is such a joke😂
Why is it called a black hole? If it forms from a star that once was almost a perfect sphere, wouldn't it still be a sphere just infinitely small?
Supposedly black holes are stars that imploded. The density of gravity is so great that light cannot escape it. Another theory or formulated fact is that the mass or substance in the black hole from its original star is now so heavy/concentrated/dense that one teaspoon and or tablespoon can weigh greater than a Volkswagen Bug!
Well due to the fact a black hole is infinity black it has no shading, if you could somehow see a black hole if would look almost 2D
Oh my God this is so helpful.

Black holes are basically the most powerful things in the universe!
TARS! Set the excitement to 100%
I was reading a book about black holes and it said if humans entered a black hole they would be stretched out like spaghetti and then incinerated in a wall of fire. Isn't that amazing!?🙃

The feeling of the black hole is probably actually the same feeling We have when we are effortlessly being ourselves. In our point of view the black hole is a powerful gravitational pull. But from a black holes point of view it’s just a natural, effortless feeling.
Wow that's so deep it's like a black hole.
It even absorbed the music from the video.
Lmaoooooo
Pierre-Simon marquis de Laplace is the first mathematician to postulate the existence of black holes and the notion of gravitational collapse. The first modern solution of general relativity that would characterize a black hole was found by Karl Schwarzschild in 1916. Fred Lo was close enough to announcing that the Milky Way contained a black hole in 1971.
Every video on black hole: even light can't escape
Wonderful
Our imagination is like a black hole, we didn't know where it is but all the possible actions are done

After watching this video I can conclude that we literally know nothing about back holes. Everything stated in this video are simply theories.
Yeah, but we know what they’re capable of (to some extent)
Knowing that even light can't escape a black hole made it seem scary to me. But understanding how they form made me curious to study them more.10504
So fascinating but hard to understand! Point of no return, sounds too scary

Q: In the early universe there were larger stars, that lived shorter, and could form supernova’s that created black holes?
