What you're seeing in your thumbnail is a cross-section of a torrid on one side of the singularity of the toroid time Flows In Reverse and on the other side it flows regular this is the shape of the universe and we observe a flat universe because we are not the fundamental dimension of space and we have proof of Singularity inside of a convex or concave mirror and also inside of magnetism which is also a toroid with opposite spinning toroidal flows

And now I can begin to understand why photographing a black hole was such a big deal. Incredible.
1930s: black holes are crazy, how can they exist!
2019: here's a photo
@@windws7137 Leave black hole we didn't even knew if Pluto was real.
It seems that the first black hole discovery was in 1971 tho
@@PowerateKinda, it's my understanding that there was objects that were assumed to be black holes with the observation methods available (without being able to detect gravitational waves) and they were then used to form the basis of Penrose and Hawkings' work on thermodynamics and radiation, but in 2016 they were able to detect gravitational waves, probing their existence and in 2017 they were able to capture an image which 2 years later was proved to be the first confirmed and sighted black hole.
Though earlier observations were assumed and formed a basis, it is impossible to know that they weren't something else that acted in the same way, and in this field you kinda don't count anything out until you've got all the proof, you just keep working at it.
@@ProjectMATHEW This is very interesting because media culture has been portraying black holes for decades, I wonder if the perception or how they are portrayed will change by taking inspiration from the photo
Once you get so far into math, the math doesn’t even look like math anymore

Finding out about a black hole on paper and then finding it in real life must’ve been an eerie and horrific endeavor.
I can only imagine the existential crisis some of these theorists and scientists felt when they discovered one
Must have felt good though.
A lot of times I know the inner workings of things without opening them up. But when the day comes that the object is broken and I get to open it; I enjoy seeing I was right.
I imagine it was a similar feeling.

As a german, I'm still stunned how a person with the name "Schwarzschild" could predict the radius of a black hole. It's such an unbelievable semantic coincident, as it basically is translated to "Blackshield"... Feels very weird hearing this, as I couldn't imagine a better word describing this phenomenon.
Simulation confirmed - lore designers got lazy with the naming conventions
superior beings were like "this humans are dumb, lets create somebody who can actually solve it, I've got a perfect name"

Yeah, and the poynting vector is the vector, pointing to the energy flux. When you experiment with cold nitrogen, the Leidenfrost Effect will prevent you from Frostleiden (german for: frost damage / frost suffer). The Rayleigh scatter scribes the scatter of a light ray. Nomen est omen!
P.S.: It's a pitty Amalie Noether didn't proved that there is no ether in spacetime.
i thought the same thing! very certain Schwarzschild already visited it and came back and changed his name, or, he actually came from another universe. ooooooooooooh
Insane that you’ve kept 6.3 million people watching so far (after 5 days) and gotten to #1 on trending with a math heavy video with the word math in the title. It’s an educational UA-camr master class
Yeah math and topics like this are dope, shouldn’t be a surprise
Also a visualization master class. Visualizing this in this way made it understandable for people with no math affinity.
Many things help: Eistein still have a stardom fame in popular imagination, and then the title also lures with Strange - and something... something what? A weird/exotic/strange mistery around einsteins greatest work. Then that vagueness of the title +mistery +strange can also allude to way more things- like what if its alluding to something wrong or something shattering...
Sadly the kind of public interest (even more so for education) we ideally need would be one where this kind of view count would be in a video called 'the fascinating math of eistein' wich just doesnt happen

This is probably the hardest thing about math. When you get this deep into math in college, it all becomes just numbers, variables, expressions, and equations. Things start to remove themselves from a tangible way of understanding.
Breaking it down like this so all of it can be consumed and comprehended in such a simple fashion while still being awe-inspiring is the most astounding things that people can do in STEM fields. People explaining an entire field like this in such a tangible fashion is so important and hard to come by.

🎯 Key points for quick navigation:
00:00 *🚀 Time Dilation Near the Event Horizon*
- As objects approach a black hole’s event horizon, they appear to slow down and even seem frozen in time due to extreme gravitational time dilation,
- Light from the object gets redshifted, eventually fading away entirely as it nears the horizon.
01:26 *🌌 Implications of Einstein’s Relativity on Black and White Holes*
- Einstein’s equations hinted not only at black holes but also white holes and potential bridges, or wormholes, connecting parallel universes.
- Black holes absorb all nearby matter and energy, while white holes theoretically do the opposite, ejecting matter.
02:26 *🌀 Einstein’s Field Equations: A Gravitational Shift from Newton*
- Newton’s gravity faced a conceptual gap that Einstein resolved by showing gravity as the result of spacetime curvature, with masses shaping their surroundings.
- These equations link mass-energy distribution with spacetime curvature, effectively describing gravitational interactions without “action at a distance.”
04:22 *⏳ Spacetime Light Cones and Event Horizons*
- Light cones determine which regions of spacetime can affect or be affected by a point in space-time, defining reachable and observable areas.
- Close to massive bodies, light cones narrow, signifying that objects cannot escape certain regions, hinting at black holes' event horizons.
06:22 *🌍 Karl Schwarzschild’s Solution and the Singularity Paradox*
- Schwarzschild solved Einstein’s equations in 1915, discovering that near a black hole, spacetime curves steeply, leading to a “singularity” at r=0.
- A second apparent singularity arises at the Schwarzschild radius, the event horizon, where escape velocity equals the speed of light.
08:22 *💥 Black Holes and Star Collapse Theories*
- Early theorists doubted black holes’ existence, suggesting degeneracy pressures (electron and neutron) might prevent collapse, forming white dwarfs or neutron stars.
- Chandrasekhar discovered a mass limit where even these pressures fail, suggesting massive stars could collapse into black holes.
11:55 *🌠 Event Horizons and the Spacetime Experience*
- Oppenheimer’s insight showed that while external observers never see objects cross the event horizon, a person crossing it wouldn’t notice anything unusual.
- Spacetime diagrams demonstrate how light cones change near a black hole, tipping inward so that anything within the horizon must continue towards the singularity.
15:25 *🌍 Distortions of Spacetime Projections*
- Just as map projections distort Earth’s geography, different spacetime maps alter how we view black hole dynamics.
- Reframing the coordinates at the event horizon removes the apparent singularity, allowing objects to cross it smoothly.
16:56 *🕳️ The “Waterfall” Model of Black Holes*
- Space near a black hole behaves like a waterfall, where space flows inward; photons near the event horizon struggle against this flow but eventually fall in.
- At the horizon, space itself falls faster than light speed, trapping everything inside.
20:19 *⌛ The Kruskal-Szekeres and Penrose Diagrams*
- The Kruskal-Szekeres diagram reinterprets the black hole singularity as a final moment in time rather than a spatial point, revealing spacetime’s temporal boundary.
- Penrose diagrams compress spacetime, illustrating the inevitable progression toward the singularity and showing reachable and unreachable zones in spacetime.
22:15 *🌌 White Holes: Black Hole Counterparts*
- White holes, theorized counterparts of black holes, eject material instead of absorbing it, remaining inaccessible as nothing can enter them.
- Unlike black holes, white holes exist in theory as time-reversed black holes, theoretically expelling matter and light.
23:46 *🌌 White Holes as Time-Reversed Black Holes*
- White holes, the theoretical inverse of black holes, expel matter instead of trapping it, as relativity allows time-reversed solutions to the equations,
- If real, white holes would prevent entry but eject everything inside back into space.
24:44 *🌍 Parallel Universes and Coordinate Systems*
- Relativity equations allow alternate universes; parallel worlds might theoretically exist beyond the black hole's horizon,
- Schwarzschild’s model shows that another universe could be mapped mathematically, similar to discovering a “southern hemisphere” on a previously unknown Earth.
27:09 *🌀 Einstein-Rosen Bridges and Wormholes*
- Extending solutions to Einstein’s equations reveals theoretical wormholes, or Einstein-Rosen bridges, that link separate universes,
- This model, while hypothetical, suggests that black holes might connect different regions or universes in spacetime.
28:11 *🕳️ Challenges of Traversing Wormholes*
- Wormholes, if real, are thought to be unstable, with the connection “pinching off” before anything can cross,
- Light cannot bridge these gaps, making travel between universes through a wormhole impossible with current understanding.
29:40 *🔄 Rotating Black Holes and Ergosphere Dynamics*
- Kerr’s solution for rotating black holes includes layers such as the ergosphere, where space is dragged by rotation, making escape challenging but possible,
- A second inner horizon allows limited movement but would still lead toward a ring singularity, theoretically providing a way through.
31:45 *🌠 Entering New Realms in Rotating Black Holes*
- Within a rotating black hole, explorers might navigate freely around the ring singularity and enter other universes or an “anti-verse” with reversed gravity,
- This remains theoretical; even if spacetime curves allow such transitions, verifying them remains beyond current science.
33:43 *⚠️ Limitations of Eternal Solutions for Black Holes*
- Extended models of black holes and parallel universes assume static, eternal conditions not found in our universe,
- Real black holes are formed through star collapse, making white holes improbable, as they would lack the necessary formation mechanism.
34:43 *💥 Instability of Inner Horizons in Real Black Holes*
- Real black holes’ inner horizons may concentrate energy infinitely, creating singularities that block passage to any parallel universe,
- This would limit any wormhole-like structures to theoretical speculation rather than practical reality.
35:13 *🚀 Theoretical Wormholes and Exotic Matter*
- Wormholes suitable for stable travel require “exotic matter” with negative energy, an idea not supported by current physics,
- Without exotic matter, wormholes collapse, preventing them from connecting distant parts of the universe or separate universes.
36:17 *🌌 Possibility of Surprises in Cosmology*
- While white holes, wormholes, and parallel universes seem improbable by today’s physics, black holes were once deemed impossible too,
- Continuing advancements in cosmology may reveal unexpected realities in our understanding of the universe.

White hole by definition is a "surface" where anything can only fly out of it and nothing can fall in/reach it. So when someone outside of black hole he just see like everything fall in and disappears. But when he fall in he see material can only fly out of that same "surface" he just pass through. And nothing can reach it back. Then that is a "white hole" now.
How do find this idea? :)

@@hector4913Well you can't really label his hypothesis true/false either seeing as *_all_* theories on black/white hole physics are simply unproven hypothesis based on hypothetical possibilities and thus are *equally* possible of being "true" _regardless_ of how "supported/unsupported" they are due to the amount of *_direct_*_ observation/ _*_objective_*_ data_ which we base these hypothesis on being *none* precisely lmao 💯👍

Fun fact as fellow artilleryman, when calculating ballistic trajectories you start by pretending there is nothing in a flat 2-d universe except the howitzer, the round, and a constant 'down'-word acceleration. From that start point of the "standard" world, you then add corrections for every error, wind speed/direction/density, humidity, your distance from the equator, the rotation of the earth, wether [sic] you're firing with or against that rotation, the weight of the round, air temperature, and most anything else that could effect any part of the round traveling. It makes logical sense to me that Schwartzchild would take a similarly empty starting approach to solve Einstein's equations.
how many did you hit.
@@trrrmac I've never missed? Missing is pretty uncommon in the US. The math is surprisingly detailed, facilitated by hundreds of reference pages of raw reference data and simple/repeatable step-by-step reference sheets you use everytime all to make sure the round goes where you were asked to put it. 🤣 Not the most fun thing thing to do manually, but it works! Plus, we have a few computer systems we use as the primary means to do the math once we're out of training which helps dramatically!
@@trrrmac A conventional unguided M549A1 155 mm artillery projectile has a circular error probable (CEP) of 267 m (876 ft) at its maximum range, meaning that half of the rounds can be expected to land within 267 m (876 ft) of their intended target. The lethal radius of a typical 155mm round is about 50m, but fragments can extend well beyond that for "soft" targets (i.e. humans, light vehicles like unarmored trucks, etc.).
So a "hit" depends on a lot of factors, not the least of which is what you're trying to hit. Troops in the open? 50m away is likely lethal to them. A tank? Unless you hit it directly, you're probably not even damaging it. A bunker? Not only must you hit it, but you must penetrate it.
This is the common approach to basically any problem that applies mathematical theory to the physical world.
Not just a run-of-the-mill grunt... They're grunts who are good at ballistics and calculus 😂🎉 thanks for your service!

One thing I’m confused about is, he speaks about anti-universes where gravity pushes rather than pulls. But, in that case, wouldn’t it be impossible for black holes to form? Aren’t black holes essentially wells of inwardly pulling gravity?
@@DarthHoosier3038 I think it would be similar to how white holes are most likely impossible in regular universes
@@DarthHoosier3038 Yes, which is why in an anti-verse white holes would dominate instead of black holes. The mode of travel to a new universe would be the same. Not sure how a ship would react being in such a universe, however. Interesting thought experiment.

So, someone correct me if I'm wrong. As you get closer to the black hole, the more time slows down relative to a static observer far away from the event horizon. So hypothetically, if you fell beyond the event horizon and reached a point close to the singularly (and you were still alive) would you be perceiving time flowing at a normal rate for all things in a similar proximity to the event horizon? The implications of this question I believe are very significant and incredible. Because, if the singularly is truly the absolute end of time, that would mean time dilation would be able to continue exponentially to infinity, which in turn means that you theoretically never reach the singularity from the perspective of an observer in relatively normal time. Secondly, if you did reach the singularity, wouldn't you essentially be fast forwarded to the last possible point in time? So my theory based on this, is intriguing to say the least. If you fell in, you would be falling towards the singularly for what would feel like a reasonable amount of time from your perspective, but before you reached the singularity the entire rest of time outside the time distortion of the black hole would have passed. (Until something happens to the black hole itself.) So basically in the most crude of explanations, you fall in for a little over an hour and right before you reach the singularity, the black hole fizzles out. If you miraculously survive, you're in a universe where there are only black holes. No stars, no planets, no light. You're at the end.
I've given this comment great thought, and the more I think about it, the more conceptions I can come up with. I can't comprehend how a singularity could possibly be a single point. I was looking at the Penrose diagram and I feel, through intuition, that it could be improved. At the point before the concept of a rotating black hole where it was just the 4 regions, black hole, white hole, our universe and parallel universe, I believe for the case of the diagram it could be copied in any direction and still make sense. For example if you copied the four regions in the same format, aligned where r=0 , above each other, that it would make everything make sense. The singularity is a point of 0, to go beyond it is to be negative. The singularity of the black hole is simultaneously the singularity of a white hole.
I ask everyone that reads this to boost this post, I want these options to be explored. I have hypotheses that have inadequate time, resources or knowledge, to disprove or prove. I truly believe that the equation could be altered, but I'm no Einstein.
Also, a completely new thought as of about a minute ago, white hole singularities. Time near one is opposite of that of a black hole. The closer you are to the singularity of a white hole, the closer you are to the infinite beginning of time. Everything moves faster relative to an observer outside the radius of space time distortion. All the math regarding the black hole works in opposite.
@@travissmith34 My physics capabilities are pretty basic but I can recall from watching some videos about black holes on the Kurzgesagt channel - another fantastic channel for science & discovery - that a singularity is actually meant to be a ring; something similar to the shape of a donut! I can't remember much more, you'll have to check out their videos.
Your first post is very interesting by the way. A similar thing I've wondered myself and seen a few other commenters suggest that if you fell into a black hole but were facing back towards the event horizon, then surely you'd be able to see all the rest of time/history pass incredibly quickly. Just like time dilation in other scenarios - one observer will see the other's time going really slowly, but for that other observer they will see the first observer's time going really quickly. So if a distant observer is seeing the events in time next to a black hole's event horizon go really slowly, from the black hole's perspective the time outside it would be going incredibly quickly.
As you say, would time dilation be infinite at the singularity? If so would that mean that, from the perspective of the singularity, it begins & finishes its existence in a single moment? A single moment in which it sees the entirety of time from its creation - or at least up until it ceases to exist through some other means.
Actually I can see a kind of analogue with a photon in this. I recently discovered that from the perspective of a photon, travelling anywhere in the universe is instantaneous. We see it travel at the speed of light from our frame of reference, but if a photon could experience its own existence, its creation, travel and absorption (or dissipation if that's the best word) would all be in a single moment in which no time passes in its own frame of reference. So the similarity I see here is that this time dilation for a photon is infinite - caused by relativity, but special relativity - the time dilation is caused by the high speed, the highest possible speed in fact (I have seen 'kinematic time dilation' as a term for this). Whereas the time dilation from a black hole is caused by gravitational strength - but the end result is pretty much the same, an infinite amount of time dilation.
@@travissmith34 this is some great stuff to think about :)

For the last several years I’ve always considered Veritasium as a warm up to the next climactic Mark Rober video drop. I don’t know why I felt this way, this channel has become far superior than any other STEM edutainment. I now consider your animated discovery/biography videos to be my most sought after “latest drop” in all of UA-cam.
Mark Rober is for kids and occasionally adults, and Veritasium is for adults and occasionally kids. This has only grown wider over time as Derek's voice has grown smoother and more professional, and Mark's voice has grown shriller and more childish. Not an insult to Mark; just the direction he chose, and inspiring kids is fine. To put it another way, Mark is trending toward Mr. Wizard/Bill Nye, Derek is trending toward Carl Sagan.

9:14 honestly, it's like poetry that a guy called Schwarzschild (Black shield) coined the term for the radius around a singularity in which light can't escape it. For a german, that makes so much sense because it's literally the black shield around the object.
Not so poetic is translating ‘Albert Einstein’ from German into English: ‘Burt OneStone’.
oh my goodness, that's so cool. the black shield that hides away all matter.
nomen est omen^^i wonder if he ever (publicly) commented on that "coincidence" or if he just got tired of random folks pointing that out. 😀
27:52 this is eerily similar to Dante's journey through the Earth from hell to heaven, only 800 years later.
Love this. Also, nothing says, "this is a math video" as much as, "your nemesis looks back at you, shaking his fist AT A CONSTANT RATE" 😅😅😅
LMAOOOO sooo true
more physics but yes
It's very considerate of them!
Tiny inaccuracy at 9:46: for most stars it is not the radiation pressure but rather the gas pressure that is dominant in counter-balancing the force of gravity. The radiation pressure, which is the pressure exerted by the emitted photons, is usually many orders of magnitude smaller than the gas pressure which is caused by the motion of the atoms themselves. However, radiation pressure is proportional to T^4 whereas gas pressure is simply proportional to T (where T is the temperature). This means that in very heavy stars where the temperature is higher, radiation pressure can indeed become more important than gas pressure. But this is usually very rare.
Otherwise, awesome video!
Yep, I knew that too..
Thank you so much for this comment! I'm just a layman, but that point immediately stood out as suspect to me.
You mean molecyles?
I don't think the wording necessarily excludes other effects being involved, but it can be misleading.
This may be the second best explanation of parallel universes I've seen
what is the first?
Super mario
Sheeeeeeeeeesh
Best explanation is what happens when you put bacon bits on a strip of bacon.
@@ModernMugs The best is presumably in a parallel universe.
I am very confident that white holes do exist, and based on work I'm doing via o1 and AlphaGeometry, It looks very strongly that we are in one... as is every other non-virtual universe. Also, they appear to be edge-defined, meaning for the purpose of my work that (1) we were created by one, and (2) if they create additional points of connection then they do so at what appears by us to be the points of furthest distances from wherever you are in a given universe. This also explains why we don't see them in the same way as we do for black holes. In other words, one way to look at them is that they connect at the beginning of time for us, and effectively define the direction for time/entropy for a given universe. I doubt that I am alone in coming to this, but I can say that the speed of working with AI is taking me to solutions that would have not been possible in my lifetime without it.
That big reveal with the penrose diagram implying the existence of a white hole was absolutely incredible! Gave me chills! Bravo!
It's weird i've had several chills through out the video. This video is something i've always imagined what it'd look like if someone try to explain what happens around event horizon but didn't think no one is articulate enough to come up with it. Except this amazing dude ofc. My god this was amazing.
37 minutes long on purpose? veritasium you naughty boy

oh, reference to an earlier video.
I thought the maximum time a StarGate can kept open xD
But this would be 38 ;)

Bravo! The best video I have ever seen on UA-cam! Bravo!
You outdid yourself on this one. Magnum, opus.
Although I learned some of this 40 years ago as I got a physics degree, not only did you make those topics much easier to understand, but by stacking things together, you had me understand things that I didn’t even know existed when I woke up this morning. You have a gift. Thank you for using it to make a complicated concept fun and interesting.
Another issue that isn't covered here is that if you passed through into that antiverse you mentioned, you could continue tiling the universes, black holes and white holes laterally into infinity - and if you did that then you could enter the same universes from both sides of singularities. From one side you'd enter via a white hole from a universe, the other via a different white hole from an antiverse, where gravity would work backwards. Somewhere in that process there would have to be a reversal of gravity for one of the travelers, suggesting that the equivalent to a singularity must exist on some edge of a white hole. There's nothing in the models shown that accounts for that (it would be interesting to see one that did).
It's amazing how you can see the passion and bliss in the faces of these mathematicians when they're talking about something they truly love.
I love all the anecdotes from history of famous scientists basically saying "Yeah theoretically maybe but there's no way that actually exists, no sane man would believe it, it's absurd.
And the video is about worm holes and parallel universes.
The only possible journey one can have at the moment 😊

This "37" minute video on black holes might be one of the best educational video to ever exist.
36, the ad
37 | 73
12 | 21 (prime ranks)
144 | 441 (prime ranks squared)
37 | 27 | 73
12 | - | 21
37+27+73 = 137
12+21 = 33 (prime rank of 137)
Behold the mathematical Trinity ;)
37 -> Your inner world (Red, Thor, Animus, Conscious, Horus)
73 -> Your outer world (Blue, Hel, Anima, Unconscious, Set)
27 -> the observer (Green, Loki, No One, Subconscious, Anubis)
137 -> everything and nothing (White/Black, Odin/Freyja, Self/No Self, No Self/Self, Isis/Osiris)
(Check them out geometrically as well, centered hexagonal numbers, star numbers, triangular numbers (makes the "triforce" together), etc)
Note, 37 and 73 are hyperbolically mirrored, such that one appears larger from the vantage point of the other, one appears to wrap around the other, until you cross the "event horizon" between them, just like crossing a black hole event horizon, the horizon would wrap around you completely, appearing at first convex, then a perfectly flat infinite plane, and finally concave until the last bit of light directly behind you was gone, and at that point you have "crossed". You would never see yourself pass through, but the inside would become the outside, and the outside would become the inside, going from Spacetime to Timespace.
23:46 But then, according to the external observer, nothing can ever have been inside the white hole, like nothing ever can enter the black hole, right?
