So far all Matt has said which partially answers what we're after is: Naked singularities induce event horizons. Infinite density causing maximum speed and maximum relativistic time dilation at their surface. The true merger of volume and surface so information is not lost: the entire singularity is the event horizon. Singularities convert standard concepts into others. And this is actually important for the sake of the universe as it shows that space, time and matter are far more linked than just being sets of rules we place for their interactions: time within the singularity becomes space/distance from the centre and of course vice versa. Matter of the singularity is stretch and spaghettified entirely according to its own true density to perfectly grow the rest of the singularity. The way the singularities interact with the rest of the universe causse each to shine in a unique pattern depending on what that blackhole ate [hawking radiation]. Matt explains all of this over the course of a few recent episodes.

Math infinities are weird. For example I've been told that there's an equal number of odd numbers as there are total numbers, because they're both infinite.
@@OnlyKaerius infinity is not an amount so equality works different/weird. In the case of whole vs odd numbers its because any odd number is twice a whole number plus 1, so you can get a single odd from every single number, therefore they have a 1-1 "size" ratio, so they are equal. But not all infinities are, you for example cant pair every real number with a single whole number, even if you consider a finite interval
@@antaresmc4407 Erm, not quite. Rational ("fractional") numbers are countably infinite, just like whole numbers, which means that they can indeed be paired 1:1. You're probably thinking of the real numbers, which are uncountably infinite even when restricted to a finite interval.
Well Google is your friend to fill in blanks if he hasn't made a video about it. It's assumed that viewers are beyond high school and freshman college stuff known or theorized 80 years ago. Much of what he talks about is dumbed down (about as much as it can be) versions of cutting edge papers written in the past year or so with some still getting peer-reviewed. If you have no idea about basics like how or why a black hole forms, then yeah you are going to be totally clueless and he might as well be speaking Greek.
The way Matt said it made me think of this too. Like if you saw a naked singularity it would send you mad and possibly kill you Now that is true cosmic horror
It's taken years, countless rewatches and 0 formal study but I'm no longer lost and curios, I'm actually starting to keep pace with all this. Can't do the math but I can understand the implications results and theories they create!
Here's something I've always wondered about black holes, cause it seems like this would have a pretty big impact on discussing their internal behavior: what is their proper time? Let's say I have an indestructible stopwatch and I toss it into Sagittarius A*, and then wait the 10xA-Very-Big-Number years it would take for it to finally evaporate. When it does, how much time will the stopwatch read, from its perspective of having waited inside the black hole's spacetime? A trillion years, or 8 months, or 2.5 pico seconds? It feels like the mechanics of black holes are always explained as though they're astronomical objects whose physics exist on our observed scale of the passage of time. But does their extreme time dilation actually suggest they're much shorter lived objects that we simply observe over a much longer period of time? And if they do have a very short relative lifespan how does that impact the interior? Extreme case: could it say, evaporate so quickly from its own perspective that any infalling matter doesn't actually have time to form a singularity at all?
I don't have the maths on this, but assuming that the watch was not destroyed by the singularity it would read much slower than say, a watch orbiting just outside of the event horizon due to the increased gravity at the singularity vs outside the horizon. In fact, since a singularity is defined as a space with infinite density, the gravity may be so strong at the singularity that time may very well completely stop. To you the watch would slow down and freeze at it approached the horizon, but it would continue ticking slower and slower while approaching the singularity. Once the black hole evaporated the watch would certainly have read much slower than your watch, but by how much would depend on the size of the black hole and how much distance there is between the horizon and the singularity. Of course this is all conjecture, take it with a grain of salt.
@@FurryKeidran98 Time already stops from gravitational time dilation at the event horizon. Inside it runs again, but is into another direction (namely towards the singularity). So the time the stopwatch measures will just be (time up to the event horizon ignoring its time dilation) + (up to) the radius of the event horizon (which is obviously tiny). What happens at the singularlity, I don't know, but I can't imagine anything surviving that.
Very interesting question. Since, by definition, event horizon is the point that the speed of space time reaches light speed, all clocks must stop ticking. Inside it, time dimension becomes navigable back and forth. Thus, my guess would be on average it would stay put, but, it could even go backwards??? That’s why Black holes are though. They can potentially break causality.
Astrophysicist - explains extremal black holes, then goofs up a quote at the end. UA-cam - I didn’t even know what an extremal black hole was 20 minutes ago, but clearly guy doesn’t know anything because he slightly misquoted a popular book.
Actually, what the last dolphin to give a message did was "...a surprisingly sophisticated attempt to do a double-backwards-somersault through a hoop whilst whistling the 'Star Spangled Banner'" so however you word the translation that retains the essential meaning is fine. Pedantic nitpickers of the world: You have missed the entire point of the HHGttG series. You are what's wrong with the world, you bloody Golgafrinchans.
Considering we are within an event horizon. Three bands race against the center of Gravity, growing slowly until noon on the inner band in some millions of years when the singularity of the band's edges begins to absorb material for the next Big Bang. The observable Universe has an event horizon ratio of 1 to 10, so the convergence is not far. Knowing the time between Big Bangs we can calculate critical mass. 13.7 or 27 x 2 = 27 or 54 billion years, but it could be 6:00am for 108 or 216 Gyrs.
It's claptrap. Gravitational pull is debunked by General Relativity. It is just that the more mass something has,the more it warps space and so the more likely less massive objects ar to fall toward the more massive thing. There is no such thing as gravitational pull.
You must acquire anti-water. The water you drank turned into anti-water due to dissolution with black hole matter as solvent. You need to drink anti-water to force electrostatic pull-push force between anti-water particles. That force may expel your body from the water hole you found yourself in. Hope this helps.
I believe so. Also, firing electrons at a charged black hole fast enough to overcome the repulsion would undoubtedly require so much kinetic energy that its mass (m = E/c^2), along with that of the electron, increase the black hole's mass sufficiently to keep the event horizon intact.
@@tomkerruish2982 But not protons, what about neutral particles? Or systems of neutral particles, or particle systems like atoms? At what point does this high charge region break down the neutral system/particle?

So if both angular momentum and charge work to make it extremil, but neither one would take it over the edge... what if you added angular momentum to an extremil *charged* black hole, or charge to one that was spinning?
Kerr-Newman black hole. It was covered in my advanced GR course, but they're so statistically unlikely to have any meaningful charge that the only black hole descriptions worth mentioning are Kerr and Schwarzchild black holes.
@@alexlawrence1337 Well it may be true for naturally o curing black holes, but that is only until humans go to mess with one small enough. Obviously in distant future if ever.
@@skyrask1948 without having the maths on hand, I'm more convinced that the electrostatic repulsion on an electron trying to be added to a black hole would far outweigh the gravitational attraction. By that point the energy required to overcome the electrostatic repulsion would add too much mass to the black hole.
Plus, a black hole small enough to be overwhelmed by a comparatively small electric charge would evaporate very quickly and catastrophically if it's still somewhat massive.
Extremal or near-extremal black holes still radiate athermally by the Schwinger mechanism where the e-field gradient is so large. With q>m for all known charged particles, this tends away from extremality
Damn that is heavy. Look into the abyss and the abyss looks back into you. It's like a video game error exception stopping the game from collapsing in on itself.

Spelling nitpick @1:57 in subtitles: "to doubt it's validity" should be "to doubt its validity". There is no apostrophe in "its" when the meaning is the possessive form of "it". "It's" is a contraction of "it is" (or "it has" when "has" is an auxilliary verb). Love your work!

I fall. I'm pulled. To the depths of the dark. Or to the end of space. But even beyond the speed of light, I'll never reach it. Am I looping? No, that's wrong. Is the end escaping? That's wrong, too. Stretching. What is? Space is? I am? Something approaches. Approaches slowly. In complete contrast to the disappearing surrounding stars. Is it really approaching? Is it not stopped? Its slowness gives it that illusion. I don't recognize what it is. But it is something. But I don't know what that something is. I try to reach that something. But my hand won't move. I seem to be stopped. While seemingly stopped, I continue falling. Not a complete stop. Infinite progression to a stop. After a second, when will I arrive? On second, my perception keeps stretching. One second, after a perceived second, becomes 0.1 seconds. 0.1 seconds, after a perceived second, becomes 0.01 seconds. 0.01 seconds, after a perceived second, becomes 0.001 seconds. 0.0001 seconds. 0.00001 seconds. 0.000001 seconds. 0.0000001 seconds. 0.00000001 seconds. 0.000000001 seconds. When will I arrive? Gradually, time shortens. Gradually, my senses lengthen. An illusion that we'll never arrive at zero. Abrupt, humorous words. The Demon Lord's Gate. I try to shout. But my mouth won't move. I mustn't look back. My body-- I want to look back. I want to go back. I can't look back. I can't go back. Towards something. Towards the future of becoming a jellyman. While stopped for an eternity--
Hang in there my friend, you do great invaluable educative work from your living room, that is something to be proud of. All this isolation and bitterness will pass, I myself cannot wait to down a decent ale pint or seven in a proper pub again
btw if someone is interested, there is a relatively simple "napkin" calculation that establishes that a Reissner-Noström blackhole of above 100 solar masses can be force-fed electric charge beyond extremality, but still, the electric field at the event horizon will be well below the Schwinger limit. If there is something that forbids such naked singularities to form, it MUST be due to some non-standard physics
I've been waiting for this episode ever since Space Time began talking about rotating black holes. I had heard about the there being an upper limit to a Kerr black hole's angular momentum after which its event horizon would dissolve, but I had failed to find any arguments whatsoever that would explain why it wouldn't be possible to surpass that limit (all I had found was that it shouldn't be possible because of its implications, but no mechanism as to why we couldn't just add more angular momentum to them). The idea that the rotating frame itself would prevent more momentum from being added is extremely neat, while the possibility that there might still be a way to add momentum (and thus disprove the cosmic censorship hypothesis) is even more intriguing!
I presume creating a charged, rotating black hole would also be insufficient to merge the inner and outer horizons? Say, the combined potential and kinetic energies would work to expand the outer horizon faster than the inner horizon? Stupid Chronology Protection Conjecture always ruining my fun.
Hi Matt, I am a consultant by profession but what keeps me going is physics really.. Your videos are amazing and I can't think of anything else as intriguing as astrophysics.. Love from India!
So if there's traces of the previous aeon smeared across the CMB in our aeon, are there also trace-traces of the next-previous aeon and so forth back even further? Is there a overlay of smears fading off into the infinite past?

Relative time has only stopped from the perspective of observers outside the event horizon. Moreover the motion in this case is mostly concerning the rotation of the space within and around the black hole, and the motion of space doesn't play by quite the same rules that light or matter do.

@@jansenart0 That is incorrect. Observers can fall through the event horizon and will witness only finite time in the outside universe while doing so. They have an entire episode about the event horizon and crossing it. ua-cam.com/video/-q7EvLhOK08/v-deo.html

Could there be zones of the universe that go CCC while other zones still have mass? Perhaps if they are beyond each other's observable universe horizons?
I think the existence of any matter gives the universe scale, regardless of whether that matter can ever reach all areas of the universe. I hope you get an answer though, I wonder if expansion would be so fast at that point that any particles left would each have their own rapidly approaching horizon?
I believe the idea is that in a universe filled with only radiation there is no observer who can define time or distance, since massless particles have no notion of either. So infinite distance in space and time is the exact same as here and now, since nobody can tell the difference.
To be fair, that is true of any two things orbiting each other. They both pull each other after all, moving into circles. Even if unnoticeably if one mass completely overwhelms the mass of the other.
"To create a charged black hole without an event horizon, we need to separate it from all other charged particles in the universe." So we establish an event horizon around the black hole?

What if I cross the event horizon just for a plank lenght and the instant later the black hole shrinks due to evaporation? Shall I be able to find myself outside again and have seen the inside?
Short answer: No. Long answer: I see you tried to fool the cosmos with your cute pick of the length of a plank, but the cosmos isn't so easily fooled. When you say "instant later"; what's that in relation to? Once you're inside the event horizon, time becomes space and space becomes time. I think in order to get out of the black hole from your perspective, you'd have to travel in the reverse direction with respect to whichever way time was flowing inside the black hole, and as you know - that's impossible because it no longer exists inside the black hole because the parent universe reclaimed it as space.
What if we and the whole observable universe are actually inside the event horizon of a black hole, and that the Great Attractor is the singularity we are all moving towards?
art piece behind this awesome host looks like a old shower tiled wall with mold from a 60s building half torn down so dreadful but i cannot look away love it
8:49 Maybe when a rotating object comes near the event horizon it must be torn apart into two pieces : 1) a piece that travels two fast to stay. 2) a piece that travels against the frame dragging flow that would actually cancel out some of the black holes angular momentum.
A person once asked me how I could not be religious and that they felt science took away from the beauty and mystery. I explained that religion did that by pretending to have all the answers. Reality is amazing.
To me, it's the other way around: The more science discovers, the bigger the awe of how "on earth" all this can exist at all. In my opinion, science will never be able to explain the basic mysteries of existence, consciousness, eternity and the like.
Of course science is a way better tool at explaining reality than religion. Religion and philosophy were the only intellectual tools at disposal of the Ancient, so they used them to construct myths and give what were perceived as reasonable, complete, and satisfactory explanations. Nowadays nobody uses religion to explain new discoveries (eg there's no religious explanation for radio waves). The Ancient must be given credit for logic thinking, which is an incredible tool and basis for both religion, myths and science (religion tries to be consistent with itself, myths also try, science of course couldn't work without being consistent with itself). Verifying that the premises are good is a prerogative of science. What a good religion can do is provide moral giudance and bring peace in the way our troubled beings experience life. What science can do... Well... Just look around your house and think what you would be missing if no science!
@@bodza6445 I can't understand Hungarian, but if Google Translate didn't mess your post too much I'll try to answer. The exact role of science is to come up with models that explain reality in a rigorous and repeatable manner. So when you do science, you input observations and output a mathematical expression. Anyone can use this expression to predict new phenomena, and if the prediction is verified, your expression becomes a valuable theory. Then Einstein comes along with a new set of equations that predict more precisely than yours, and his theory becomes more valuable, and the new standard by which gravity is researched and understood. To be of any use, the initial observations need to be based on reality, defined as what we humans perceive as the setting or environment we live in, including our own body. It is a process driven by curiosity, in the hopes of gaining some advantage for our lives, because these lives are perceived as real. As a result, religion is now free to let go of this burden of explaining mundane stuff with supernatural causes, and can tend to the souls of its followers. Eg there's a huge difference between understanding how sickness works, and feeling sick. Religion can now leave the "you are sick because you've sinned" attitude behind, help the sick one discover strength and perseverance in himself, and maybe tell that these are gifts from God. It's not an all encompassing religion, and it's likely someone would prefer to think that he's strong because of genetics. But why deny anyone the comfort they prefer? By contrast science cannot do this. It can only say "you've endured your sickness x number of days, which is more/less than average". That's valuable medical data, but it's a bit dry. By the Ancient I don't mean aliens or anything special, it's just a generic term for pre Roman civilizations and cultures, especially the Greek and the Egyptian
Two views. Thats when I clicked on this video. Fastest I've ever been to any video and yet there was 48 likes and 1 dislike. Now thats where causality really breaks down.
Here's an experiment to try (preferably in space for obvious reasons): Take a huge particle accelerator (or many of them) each the size of the Solar System and make a black hole massive enough to last awhile (months to years). Then blast that black hole with a really bright electron beam (or many of them) and see if a naked singularity is an eventual result before said black hole explodes. Would E=MC^2 still hold up and actually still have gravity to just make a bigger horizon like theoretical physicists assume or would it get naked? Hopefully by the time we get around to testing this we won't be needing Congress to fund it.
2 questions: 1. Does the fabric of Spacetime itself can have angular momentum? 2. What happens when I throw antimatter into a matter black hole? How or when does the mass gets converted to energy and how would the energy propagate?
These Kerr black holes are so interesting. Why aren't more people talk about this yet. You should do a more in depth video about all of the black holes.
If anyone remembers John Titor, the supposed time traveler from 2036, he explained that singularities created inside particle accelerators could be stabilized by feeding it electrons. This seems oddly matching with what's being explained here...
“Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was Oh no, not again. Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the Universe than we do now.”
I'm extremely disappointed by the total lack of Gunbuster fans in the comments to point out you can simply kick a blackhole hard enough it loses it's event horizon and then the godlike hands of Diebuster will teleport it out of reality before the naked singularity can be observed. Obviously.
I like where the video series is headed, and the graphics are excellent. While informative and entertaining, I wish PBS would emphasize up-to-date theoretical physics rather than elementary hypotheses. I'd love to see content here (or in a new series) concerning current FTL travel research & development, particle engineering, theoretical FTL navigation, and harnessing gravity. Thanks again, love the series!
What about black holes with charges other than electric charge? What kind of internal event horizon would a color-charged black hole have, could it get extremal as well? Does this concept even make sense for color charged black holes?
Well then it wouldn't be a black hole, it would be a maroon, castleton, navy, myrtle, teal, cerulean, dandilion, burgundy, grape, or some other kind of hole, depending on the specific colour charge it had.
really liked the description of 2 to 3 dimensional representations of worm holes and black holes. I would like to think this is also my interpretation of the anisotropic orientation translation of these configurations. Particle physics as colored ball representations and hard BBs as Beta particles were the graphs I instinctively knew were wrong as a kid.. I have worked a long time to get the image in my head accurate for a thought experiment. You will always mislead yourself if the image in your brain that you surmise is not totally accurate. Less than the shadow cast by a single grain of sand. That's what I am.
would be so fun to see a video looking for the different between black holes and gravastars( basicly a blak hole but without the singularity), and show some different that they have mathematicly. I believe more in gravity stars right now, but never seen so many videos on it vs blakc holes. also not seen a video looking into the different between does, and showing what could be problem with what we know so far with these models.
What I absolutely love about blackholes, is the fact that our universe COULD very well exist entirely inside of a blackhole and we would never know it. That is so long as we existed within the space between the outer event horizon and the inner event horizon were space time is at an equilibrium with the inward pulling and outward pushing forces. I mean think about it, what if our entire universe exists solely inside a single blackhole that's so large it can hold everything we can possibly conceive of inside it, which itself could either be all that there is OR it could exists inside an even larger universe. Its crazy to think about BECAUSE its NOT outside the realm of possibility.
The more I learn about physics and space time the more eerily plausible the game steins;gate becomes. That game was probably researched ridiculously deeply because this is crazy.
The writers of these really have a fantastic way of describing way-out theories in an intuitively comprehensible way. I am constantly impressed. Imagine if an advanced technological civilization developed methods of creating and controlling black holes, increasing or decreasing their mass or charge as needed?
Instructions unclear, now I have an event horizon without a singularity.

Matt has gone so deep within physics that if you haven't watched along, you'll have to watch everything before any of this makes "sense".
This is supposed to make sense?
Well Google is your friend to fill in blanks if he hasn't made a video about it. It's assumed that viewers are beyond high school and freshman college stuff known or theorized 80 years ago. Much of what he talks about is dumbed down (about as much as it can be) versions of cutting edge papers written in the past year or so with some still getting peer-reviewed. If you have no idea about basics like how or why a black hole forms, then yeah you are going to be totally clueless and he might as well be speaking Greek.

Lollll, JMG. He’s the man.

That’s the one thing always wanted to talk about was regular black holes versus spinning black holes (evaporation)
1:09 The naked singularity sounds like an Eldritch Abomination.
From Necropornomicon
it is glowing & green
And clearly there's something trying to keep it contained, and here we are trying to figure out how to break it free
Are scientists just cultists?
The way Matt said it made me think of this too. Like if you saw a naked singularity it would send you mad and possibly kill you
Now that is true cosmic horror
Didn't expect the Miss Dynamite guy here
It's taken years, countless rewatches and 0 formal study but I'm no longer lost and curios, I'm actually starting to keep pace with all this. Can't do the math but I can understand the implications results and theories they create!
Here's something I've always wondered about black holes, cause it seems like this would have a pretty big impact on discussing their internal behavior: what is their proper time?
Let's say I have an indestructible stopwatch and I toss it into Sagittarius A*, and then wait the 10xA-Very-Big-Number years it would take for it to finally evaporate. When it does, how much time will the stopwatch read, from its perspective of having waited inside the black hole's spacetime? A trillion years, or 8 months, or 2.5 pico seconds?
It feels like the mechanics of black holes are always explained as though they're astronomical objects whose physics exist on our observed scale of the passage of time. But does their extreme time dilation actually suggest they're much shorter lived objects that we simply observe over a much longer period of time? And if they do have a very short relative lifespan how does that impact the interior? Extreme case: could it say, evaporate so quickly from its own perspective that any infalling matter doesn't actually have time to form a singularity at all?
I don't have the maths on this, but assuming that the watch was not destroyed by the singularity it would read much slower than say, a watch orbiting just outside of the event horizon due to the increased gravity at the singularity vs outside the horizon. In fact, since a singularity is defined as a space with infinite density, the gravity may be so strong at the singularity that time may very well completely stop. To you the watch would slow down and freeze at it approached the horizon, but it would continue ticking slower and slower while approaching the singularity. Once the black hole evaporated the watch would certainly have read much slower than your watch, but by how much would depend on the size of the black hole and how much distance there is between the horizon and the singularity. Of course this is all conjecture, take it with a grain of salt.
Mike Richards when you fall in a black hole, you dont feel slow, but you see the universe collapse and see time end in a few seconds
@@FurryKeidran98 Time already stops from gravitational time dilation at the event horizon. Inside it runs again, but is into another direction (namely towards the singularity). So the time the stopwatch measures will just be (time up to the event horizon ignoring its time dilation) + (up to) the radius of the event horizon (which is obviously tiny). What happens at the singularlity, I don't know, but I can't imagine anything surviving that.
Very interesting question. Since, by definition, event horizon is the point that the speed of space time reaches light speed, all clocks must stop ticking. Inside it, time dimension becomes navigable back and forth. Thus, my guess would be on average it would stay put, but, it could even go backwards??? That’s why Black holes are though. They can potentially break causality.
One indestructible stopwatch, coming right up. Would you like that to be remote-winding, sir?
I cannot describe how much this series means to me. Thank you.
I do hope people wrote "so long, and thanks for all the fish" and not "goodbye..."
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed.
Now Matt will have no choice but to re-establish his nerd cred, in a future episode of... Space Time.
This guy has zero nerd cred. Zero. He's not a nerd and i often question his science creds. He's just a good voice.
Astrophysicist - explains extremal black holes, then goofs up a quote at the end. UA-cam - I didn’t even know what an extremal black hole was 20 minutes ago, but clearly guy doesn’t know anything because he slightly misquoted a popular book.

@@animistchannel2983 this guy knows where his towel is
Considering we are within an event horizon. Three bands race against the center of Gravity, growing slowly until noon on the inner band in some millions of years when the singularity of the band's edges begins to absorb material for the next Big Bang. The observable Universe has an event horizon ratio of 1 to 10, so the convergence is not far. Knowing the time between Big Bangs we can calculate critical mass. 13.7 or 27 x 2 = 27 or 54 billion years, but it could be 6:00am for 108 or 216 Gyrs.
Time to spend 16 minutes pretending like I can understand what I'm listening to.

It's claptrap.
Gravitational pull is debunked by General Relativity.
It is just that the more mass something has,the more it warps space and so the more likely less massive objects ar to fall toward the more massive thing.
There is no such thing as gravitational pull.

I tried to dissolve the event horizon in water, but the water dissolved into the black hole... What do I do now!?
Drink it
@@skwervin1 I did, it seems it drank me? Can you send help.... It's... Very dark down here..... :O
@@teaser6089 Have you tried putting it in rice
You must acquire anti-water. The water you drank turned into anti-water due to dissolution with black hole matter as solvent. You need to drink anti-water to force electrostatic pull-push force between anti-water particles. That force may expel your body from the water hole you found yourself in.
Hope this helps.

There is nothing in the universe that could prevent me from becoming a naked singularity
What about the big rip?
10:20 Also, wouldn't the negative charge of the black hole make it harder and harder to throw more electrons at it due to repulsion?
I believe so. Also, firing electrons at a charged black hole fast enough to overcome the repulsion would undoubtedly require so much kinetic energy that its mass (m = E/c^2), along with that of the electron, increase the black hole's mass sufficiently to keep the event horizon intact.
The end of GoT?
@@tomkerruish2982 that's probably equivalent to what he meant saying that the electromagnetic energy would increase the mass.
@@tomkerruish2982 But not protons, what about neutral particles? Or systems of neutral particles, or particle systems like atoms? At what point does this high charge region break down the neutral system/particle?
Maybe the gravitional pull is stronger than repulsion at this point?
So, if I fall into a black hole, I could finally wrap my head around it? 🤔
Neat.

Thank you so much. This is one of the best channels in all of media. Fascinating and so well presented. My personal favorite. Thank you so much for making these spectacular videos. I love them.
So if both angular momentum and charge work to make it extremil, but neither one would take it over the edge... what if you added angular momentum to an extremil *charged* black hole, or charge to one that was spinning?
Was going to ask just that. I imagine that physicists must have considered this and the censorship somehow still works.
Kerr-Newman black hole. It was covered in my advanced GR course, but they're so statistically unlikely to have any meaningful charge that the only black hole descriptions worth mentioning are Kerr and Schwarzchild black holes.
@@alexlawrence1337 Well it may be true for naturally o curing black holes, but that is only until humans go to mess with one small enough. Obviously in distant future if ever.
@@skyrask1948 without having the maths on hand, I'm more convinced that the electrostatic repulsion on an electron trying to be added to a black hole would far outweigh the gravitational attraction. By that point the energy required to overcome the electrostatic repulsion would add too much mass to the black hole.
Plus, a black hole small enough to be overwhelmed by a comparatively small electric charge would evaporate very quickly and catastrophically if it's still somewhat massive.
Extremal or near-extremal black holes still radiate athermally by the Schwinger mechanism where the e-field gradient is so large. With q>m for all known charged particles, this tends away from extremality
The best even is when you post a new episode...honestly you're videos keep me outta depression spells...if that's even a valid comment

Spelling nitpick @1:57 in subtitles: "to doubt it's validity" should be "to doubt its validity". There is no apostrophe in "its" when the meaning is the possessive form of "it". "It's" is a contraction of "it is" (or "it has" when "has" is an auxilliary verb).
Love your work!
If all neutrinos have left handed spin then could you increase the spin of a Kerr black hole by feeding it just neutrinos, making a naked singularity?
Couldn't those neutrinos be Kerr black holes?
@@tompatterson1548 Black hole must not be a short lived one.
Kuber K but if the inner even horizon is larger than the outer, could such radiation occur?
That's a different kind of spin isn't it? I didn't think the spin of a particle meant it's literally spinning in an angular momentum fashion.
You guys do an amazing job explaining all the theories . I love the effort put into each video. I also enjoy the math aspects too . You guys make something so complicate look easy . Keep up the work !

Hang in there my friend, you do great invaluable educative work from your living room, that is something to be proud of. All this isolation and bitterness will pass, I myself cannot wait to down a decent ale pint or seven in a proper pub again
btw if someone is interested, there is a relatively simple "napkin" calculation that establishes that a Reissner-Noström blackhole of above 100 solar masses can be force-fed electric charge beyond extremality, but still, the electric field at the event horizon will be well below the Schwinger limit. If there is something that forbids such naked singularities to form, it MUST be due to some non-standard physics
I've been waiting for this episode ever since Space Time began talking about rotating black holes. I had heard about the there being an upper limit to a Kerr black hole's angular momentum after which its event horizon would dissolve, but I had failed to find any arguments whatsoever that would explain why it wouldn't be possible to surpass that limit (all I had found was that it shouldn't be possible because of its implications, but no mechanism as to why we couldn't just add more angular momentum to them).
The idea that the rotating frame itself would prevent more momentum from being added is extremely neat, while the possibility that there might still be a way to add momentum (and thus disprove the cosmic censorship hypothesis) is even more intriguing!
I presume creating a charged, rotating black hole would also be insufficient to merge the inner and outer horizons? Say, the combined potential and kinetic energies would work to expand the outer horizon faster than the inner horizon?
Stupid Chronology Protection Conjecture always ruining my fun.
I don’t see why not?
Hi Matt,
I am a consultant by profession but what keeps me going is physics really.. Your videos are amazing and I can't think of anything else as intriguing as astrophysics..
Love from India!
So if there's traces of the previous aeon smeared across the CMB in our aeon, are there also trace-traces of the next-previous aeon and so forth back even further? Is there a overlay of smears fading off into the infinite past?
the Hitchhiker quotes are the iconic favorites...but the most favorite movie line for me of all time is from Casablanca....what to do when you have a rapidly cooling corpse..."round up the usual suspects". Classic
I don't understand how there can be relative motion in a volume where relative time has essentially stopped.
Relative time has only stopped from the perspective of observers outside the event horizon. Moreover the motion in this case is mostly concerning the rotation of the space within and around the black hole, and the motion of space doesn't play by quite the same rules that light or matter do.
It's claptrap.

@@NavarroRefugee No, you can't just drop a "moreover" after saying something bogus and expect it to be valid; relative time has stopped from the perspective of outside observers? Then where does that leave the inside observers? To them, infinity is going on outside of their frame of reference, instantly, because their time has stopped.
@@jansenart0 That is incorrect. Observers can fall through the event horizon and will witness only finite time in the outside universe while doing so. They have an entire episode about the event horizon and crossing it. ua-cam.com/video/-q7EvLhOK08/v-deo.html

Can’t wait for the follow up episode!!!
Could there be zones of the universe that go CCC while other zones still have mass? Perhaps if they are beyond each other's observable universe horizons?
I think the existence of any matter gives the universe scale, regardless of whether that matter can ever reach all areas of the universe. I hope you get an answer though, I wonder if expansion would be so fast at that point that any particles left would each have their own rapidly approaching horizon?
I believe the idea is that in a universe filled with only radiation there is no observer who can define time or distance, since massless particles have no notion of either. So infinite distance in space and time is the exact same as here and now, since nobody can tell the difference.
7:55 Does that mean, when orbiting around an extremal black hole, physically it is the black hole orbiting around you?
To be fair, that is true of any two things orbiting each other. They both pull each other after all, moving into circles. Even if unnoticeably if one mass completely overwhelms the mass of the other.
Can’t wait to see the next video on this topic!
Your titles are getting crazier and crazier! Lol
Jump the shark already!!!!!!!! XD
Shark jumping is boring.

Thank you! I finally understand what a naked singularity means. Very nice explanation
"To create a charged black hole without an event horizon, we need to separate it from all other charged particles in the universe."
So we establish an event horizon around the black hole?
Bingo.
the event-horizon is a one-way barrier tho
more like a reverse event horizon

That's not an event horizon. For example light can still travel both ways
Don't try this at home for the sake of physics? You mean we might break physics? Sounds like a good PhD thesis.

I’ve been binge watching your channel and I think my brain is slowly melting.
What if I cross the event horizon just for a plank lenght and the instant later the black hole shrinks due to evaporation? Shall I be able to find myself outside again and have seen the inside?
Short answer: No.
Long answer: I see you tried to fool the cosmos with your cute pick of the length of a plank, but the cosmos isn't so easily fooled. When you say "instant later"; what's that in relation to? Once you're inside the event horizon, time becomes space and space becomes time. I think in order to get out of the black hole from your perspective, you'd have to travel in the reverse direction with respect to whichever way time was flowing inside the black hole, and as you know - that's impossible because it no longer exists inside the black hole because the parent universe reclaimed it as space.
One of the best episode's!!!
What if we and the whole observable universe are actually inside the event horizon of a black hole, and that the Great Attractor is the singularity we are all moving towards?
Or that expansion is expanding ring of singularity due to increasing rotation with we mention as dark energy

Maybe when a rotating object comes near the event horizon it must be torn apart into two pieces :
1) a piece that travels two fast to stay.
2) a piece that travels against the frame dragging flow that would actually cancel out some of the black holes angular momentum.
A person once asked me how I could not be religious and that they felt science took away from the beauty and mystery. I explained that religion did that by pretending to have all the answers. Reality is amazing.
Clever gal.
Amen.
To me, it's the other way around: The more science discovers, the bigger the awe of how "on earth" all this can exist at all. In my opinion, science will never be able to explain the basic mysteries of existence, consciousness, eternity and the like.
Of course science is a way better tool at explaining reality than religion. Religion and philosophy were the only intellectual tools at disposal of the Ancient, so they used them to construct myths and give what were perceived as reasonable, complete, and satisfactory explanations. Nowadays nobody uses religion to explain new discoveries (eg there's no religious explanation for radio waves).
The Ancient must be given credit for logic thinking, which is an incredible tool and basis for both religion, myths and science (religion tries to be consistent with itself, myths also try, science of course couldn't work without being consistent with itself). Verifying that the premises are good is a prerogative of science.
What a good religion can do is provide moral giudance and bring peace in the way our troubled beings experience life.
What science can do... Well... Just look around your house and think what you would be missing if no science!
@@bodza6445 I can't understand Hungarian, but if Google Translate didn't mess your post too much I'll try to answer.
The exact role of science is to come up with models that explain reality in a rigorous and repeatable manner. So when you do science, you input observations and output a mathematical expression. Anyone can use this expression to predict new phenomena, and if the prediction is verified, your expression becomes a valuable theory. Then Einstein comes along with a new set of equations that predict more precisely than yours, and his theory becomes more valuable, and the new standard by which gravity is researched and understood.
To be of any use, the initial observations need to be based on reality, defined as what we humans perceive as the setting or environment we live in, including our own body.
It is a process driven by curiosity, in the hopes of gaining some advantage for our lives, because these lives are perceived as real.
As a result, religion is now free to let go of this burden of explaining mundane stuff with supernatural causes, and can tend to the souls of its followers. Eg there's a huge difference between understanding how sickness works, and feeling sick. Religion can now leave the "you are sick because you've sinned" attitude behind, help the sick one discover strength and perseverance in himself, and maybe tell that these are gifts from God.
It's not an all encompassing religion, and it's likely someone would prefer to think that he's strong because of genetics. But why deny anyone the comfort they prefer?
By contrast science cannot do this. It can only say "you've endured your sickness x number of days, which is more/less than average". That's valuable medical data, but it's a bit dry.
By the Ancient I don't mean aliens or anything special, it's just a generic term for pre Roman civilizations and cultures, especially the Greek and the Egyptian

Two views. Thats when I clicked on this video. Fastest I've ever been to any video and yet there was 48 likes and 1 dislike. Now thats where causality really breaks down.
Great stuff guys!!! Double plus good indeed!
Here's an experiment to try (preferably in space for obvious reasons): Take a huge particle accelerator (or many of them) each the size of the Solar System and make a black hole massive enough to last awhile (months to years). Then blast that black hole with a really bright electron beam (or many of them) and see if a naked singularity is an eventual result before said black hole explodes. Would E=MC^2 still hold up and actually still have gravity to just make a bigger horizon like theoretical physicists assume or would it get naked? Hopefully by the time we get around to testing this we won't be needing Congress to fund it.
2 questions:
1. Does the fabric of Spacetime itself can have angular momentum?
2. What happens when I throw antimatter into a matter black hole? How or when does the mass gets converted to energy and how would the energy propagate?
I've just realised that inside a black hole, your channel is called "PBS Time Space".
These Kerr black holes are so interesting. Why aren't more people talk about this yet. You should do a more in depth video about all of the black holes.

I'm extremely disappointed by the total lack of Gunbuster fans in the comments to point out you can simply kick a blackhole hard enough it loses it's event horizon and then the godlike hands of Diebuster will teleport it out of reality before the naked singularity can be observed.
Obviously.
I like where the video series is headed, and the graphics are excellent. While informative and entertaining, I wish PBS would emphasize up-to-date theoretical physics rather than elementary hypotheses.
I'd love to see content here (or in a new series) concerning current FTL travel research & development, particle engineering, theoretical FTL navigation, and harnessing gravity.
Thanks again, love the series!

What about black holes with charges other than electric charge? What kind of internal event horizon would a color-charged black hole have, could it get extremal as well? Does this concept even make sense for color charged black holes?
Well then it wouldn't be a black hole, it would be a maroon, castleton, navy, myrtle, teal, cerulean, dandilion, burgundy, grape, or some other kind of hole, depending on the specific colour charge it had.

really liked the description of 2 to 3 dimensional representations of worm holes and black holes.

Particle physics as colored ball representations and hard BBs as Beta particles were the graphs I instinctively knew were wrong as a kid.. I have worked a long time to get the image in my head accurate for a thought experiment. You will always mislead yourself if the image in your brain that you surmise is not totally accurate. Less than the shadow cast by a single grain of sand.
That's what I am.
would be so fun to see a video looking for the different between black holes and gravastars( basicly a blak hole but without the singularity), and show some different that they have mathematicly. I believe more in gravity stars right now, but never seen so many videos on it vs blakc holes. also not seen a video looking into the different between does, and showing what could be problem with what we know so far with these models.
I love learning about Pahticles and Chahge.
What I absolutely love about blackholes, is the fact that our universe COULD very well exist entirely inside of a blackhole and we would never know it. That is so long as we existed within the space between the outer event horizon and the inner event horizon were space time is at an equilibrium with the inward pulling and outward pushing forces. I mean think about it, what if our entire universe exists solely inside a single blackhole that's so large it can hold everything we can possibly conceive of inside it, which itself could either be all that there is OR it could exists inside an even larger universe. Its crazy to think about BECAUSE its NOT outside the realm of possibility.
The more I learn about physics and space time the more eerily plausible the game steins;gate becomes. That game was probably researched ridiculously deeply because this is crazy.
The writers of these really have a fantastic way of describing way-out theories in an intuitively comprehensible way. I am constantly impressed.
Imagine if an advanced technological civilization developed methods of creating and controlling black holes, increasing or decreasing their mass or charge as needed?
