Strange Doctor, Strange.
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.
Rubber band mitosis
oh yeah i saw that happen once /s
🤣
The new rubber band literally being made out of the sheer force you used to pull it.
so infinite profit???
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.
Suppose that’s better than a slow, drawn out extinction though.
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
Or maybe 5 billion years is just not enough for humans to make it out of the solar system onto a new habitable planet…

Gustavus Adolphus oh fuck off with your anti sjw bullshit,don’t personalize science for your shitty agenda.
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.
That is the best idea for a game I've ever seen lol😂
I got the 69th like on those comment
@@BENgalFan1369 Now that's epic
This is one of the best game ideas I have seen, wish I had the skills to make this
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?
I love when he says the “there’s good odds that this will never happen to us” it like gives me a full on existential chrisis and then calms me down lol.
Unfortunately, the "good odds" usually refers to just the hundredths point. And as we all know, the hundredths point in astrophysics is a roundabout way of saying there is a certainty that it will eventually happen. Just not at this exact instant in ti- oh, it hppened.
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 so true
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.
Could the strange matter not react with the light around the black hole? Or create a strange black whole?
@@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.
Couldn't have said it better myself!

"I'm mr frundles"
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

Kurzgesagt is definitely the best educational channel I know. This channel has Birbs, funny bits, nice visuals and interesting topics. I love this channel
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.

This comment section is enlightened already
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.
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?

There is no reason to fear this. Neutron star collisions are common enough with enough matter being ejected that there is no way we haven't already encountered matter from one. Atoms are too numerous. If you dump a cup of tea in the ocean then wait a few years and make a new cup from the ocean you will have a few atoms from that first cup. There is no way neutron stars haven't ejected matter onto every celestial object.

This video is certainly fascinating, and I love a good thought adventure. As old as the universe is, if there were a danger of everything turning to strange matter wouldn't we have seen it happen already? At least in some part? The universe is like a perfect machine, and we don't understand it completely in our infancy as a species. I'm betting we're safe.
The universe is expanding faster than the speed of light at the outskirts. That's why we call it "the observable universe". The light from objects outside the observable universe will never reach us because it's coming off something that's "moving" faster than light so it'll never reach us The expansion of the universe makes it seem like two far away objects are moving away from each other but they could both be stationary in space and it would still look like movement Most of the strange matter would be too far away to reach us

Anything: *exists* Scientists: *chuckles* I’m in danger
You can kill anyone with anything so...
no one: Scientists: how can we make this random thing kill everyone on earth?

Name oxygen molecules leads to corrosion and deterioration... i cant get the definite word but you still get the point right
I was expecting some intellectual comments but instead was met with a sea of memes
welcome to youtube?
You wanted memes, you got em
That's strange, i didn't expect that.
The normies took over long ago.
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
The more I learn about the Universe the more I am glad to simply exist right now in its time and enjoy it.
4:55 What? It's called "strangelet"??? Bizarre, very strange indeed...
So this thing is basically cancer cell for the universe.
@@Sinoxqq but it would kill us is it hot the earth. And its very fast spreading just like cancer, so his analogy is valid
Flav C It wouldn’t kill us. And it wouldn’t make us hot like the earth? Whatever you just said, it wouldn’t do that.
@@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 🤣🤣
@@flavc5434 who tf still uses emojis
@@Turtler_ who fucking asked you?
How’s the world gonna end? Everyone else : World War III , bombs, disease!! Me : S T R A N G L E T S
Strangelets qualify as all of the above! XD
Kurzgesagt: I don't know, but here's another potential option to worry about.

5:28 I just find the Moon's facial expression really cute
Death of the universe: Kurzgesagt: let's make a video to make everyone scared Edit: nah I am not like everyone else so bye
Not true, the universe will die one day but I not saying that you can't have an opinion/reaction.
Black hole: I am the deadliest thing in universe Neutron star: Hold my stranglet
This is the most underrated comment! Needs more strangeness...
Black hole: *Eats strangelet* Okay, now what?

Interesting and nice video. Many thanks.

Who would win? The universe Vs One condensed boi

no u
The internet condensed into a joke, that would win for sure...

Don't mind this, just another world-ending scenario that may be possible.
69th like
It's actually the same world-ending scenario, just with more specifics! This is basically the False Vacuum apocalypse. :)
I mean. If it did happen it would be rather quick.
Or, maybe not.
its not possible. how old do you think existance is? if not eternal? the end of it or even the start of it doesn't exist. It just is.
my guess as to why we havent been strange mattered yet is because when it becomes unsquished it stops being stable
uhh the strange matter stays squished because of its stability, not the other way around
Please send this comment to your crush without context
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.
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-
More like Wololo!
Religion of strange doesn't work, all they do is supernova people who don't believe in it
