      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

      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

    The way he purposely misleads the answer to his own question to purposely force your brain into countering it just to properly answer it the exact way you were originally thinking about it to then add new PROPER information onto the way you were already thinking about it to begin with, so you spiral into correlating past random thoughts that directly relate to the EXACT new points that he brings up is just perfect.

      Viewer outside: black hole (material flow in)
      . -- ~~~ -- .
      .-~ ~-.
      / Viewer \
      / inside: \ material flow

      ~- . _ . -~
      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? :)

It is possible for him to be an utter genius when it came to physics and mathematics, while simultaneously holding horrible racist and misogynistic views. Many "great" people in history held views we would today find totally despicable. Apparently, Isaac Newton was a deeply unpleasant person. It doesn't mean we should discount his work. It also doesn't mean that his unpleasantness was somehow a virtuous thing because of his ground-breaking work, likewise Einstein's racism is not somehow vindicated by his scientific endeavours.

    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.

This creates a whole new way of finding out about blackholes and we can also theorize that the radius of singularity must be proportional to something(maybe size of original star , size of blackhole , its mass , its age , its angular speed or maybe something else) , but i have no way of knowing or theorizing this as i am only a high-school student.

    3. What if when you travel into a black hole, and get expelled through the white hole, the universe you end up in is always the same universe? Making the white hole you come out of dump you out off it some predetermined or controllable stellar coordinates. (Worm Hole).

    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.

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.

    I love the waterfall analogy because supercritical (fast) and subcritical (slow) flow in rivers are separated by a critical singularity in a waterfall. Surface waves (such as the ones a pebble would make) can never go up if they are downstream of the critical point, but propagate up and down in slow flow.

      (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.

I turned to my right and saw the opposite. An infinite amount of my bodies in a line each slightly in the future. It really made me believe that I have already lived that exact moment an infinite amount of times and will continue to experience that exact moment for eternity. Like a permanent imprint on space time itself. I’m convinced we can learn and study about our universe from certain psycho active substances because it completely removes your time perception.

      Go check out ScienceClic youtube channel (the one who made the animation). The is one of the best channel here on UA-cam. State of the art videos for understanding advanced astronomical concepts. Maybe the best educational channel. He does videos in french, but I know that he now uploads the same videos on a new English equivalent clone channel with English voice explanation.

      I like to think those that watch and briefly understand the concept of videos like this are the privileged ones. Those who can appreciate the complexity of what's out there.
      There are millions, if not billions of people out there that have no idea what a black hole is and don't care.

      Its like origami. We fold the physics as much as we can (without tearing it up) to make it understandable which eventually turns into a beautiful object.

If you need every hour to work-eat-sleep (+ household & care) and survive, you better don't care about this, even if you would have access to youtube. So, you need double privilige for it: education/intelligence and a certain level of wealth. It should be our mission to make more people have this double privilige.

    my professor once introduced me a concept of what if we calculate time as space itself. you see here on Earth we always calculate space and time as a different variable, how much time do it takes to go from here to there, that's always happend right? so he came up with this concept of calculating time and space as a single variable, so basically time is space itself. with this concept in mind, I remember he was trying to simplified Einstein's theory of relativity, but I don't think I've seen the finished equations of that tho'. but honestly, with this concept, those 2D diagrams (x and time variable), that always become our sort of "boundary", can be simplified and we can add more "dimensions" to the diagram.
