I've been rewatching but I might have still missed it. What's the answer to: -There is one catch though. We know that our universe is expanding - and an expanding universe is not what you would expect to see if you were inside a black hole. So our universe can’t be a black hole - at least not in the naive way we’ve just described.
Their existence implies a specific puncturing of the fabric of reality at which general relativity is not a model for the universe. If the rest of the universe operates under general relativity, then how does this not indicate a breaking of the universe? There is literally a surface where space flows infinitely inward at the speed of light.

Ikr. I've been struggling to build a black hole but this tutorial helped tremendously. 10/10 highly recommended for anyone who needs a black hole for..... reasons.
But time is finite, were in a hole we cant dig out of, theres no hope of escape. All our work would just be trying to build a small statue of the hole we exist in, which is in a hole, which is in a hole, which is in a hole, which is in a hole, which is in a hole, it just keeps going, not even alice can keep track of where wonderland is...
kurzgesagt videos were always good but I didnt check them for a while. Oh my god, how much thought, effort, passion and excitement you guys must've put into this one. i love everything about it.
Not much thought has been put into the video. The Schwarzschild radius only guarantees the formation of a black hole if the outside forces are negligible. In case of the observable universe, however, not only is there dark energy, which has an immense anti-gravitational effect, but even gravitational forces from all the matter outside the observable universe also counteract its internal gravity. When all the forces are taken into account, the universe has been observed to actually sit on the fence: there is _exactly_ as much force pulling the universe in as there is stretching it out. I'm actually surprised that Kurzgesagt don't appear to know this: it's common knowledge not only in professional cosmology, but even in popular science.
Moment for moment it's good but I really wish they'd slow the pace a bit. It's an assault on the senses. I find it a bit much these days, especially with the over compressed audio. Middle era kurzgesagt was the best pacing and most interesting subjects imo.
its heartwarming to think that this big black weird things that seemed so lifeless and deadly and threatening might be the reason life exist and the reason that life might goes on forever
@@animon9819 but after a singularity maybe at some point there could be a rebound like they said! It could be next one, or it could have already happened!

Except that all of these universes are inside other universes, almost endlessly. So like 100 blackholes up the chain could just die and take all of its children and further generations out with it.
@@TomoHawKzZ in essence all you're saying is "Universes could end". Well sure. Funnily though we have no physical evidence for black holes expiring through any means, though math describes they ought to eventually.

This is like they transcribed some things someone said when they were really stoned, then had a friendly British voiceover artist read it back - and then they animated it.
@@theassailer18 The expanding of our universe isn't happening because more matter is being added to it. Space is growing, not the amount of stuff in space.
I really love how much more dynamic and free flowing your animation style is becoming! Especially with such a visually difficult video its fun to see how it can be told creatively
I've wrapped my mind around black holes birthing universes, but I can't quite wrap my mind around merging black holes and how that affects this theory.
Well, I just tried to visualize what would happen if a small black hole universe (stellar mass), merged with a large black hole universe (ultra massive). What I got was that from the perspective of the small black hole universe, there would be a sudden massive decrease in density. This could cause the contents of the small universe to disperse rapidly (from the inflow of spacetime) in what I imagine would resemble cosmic inflation. Of course this is speculative (more like fanciful thinking), but if we are in a black hole universe and the density of matter is greater than what we should observe, then perhaps the perceived expansion of the universe will continue until the density is close to what should be observed in a black hole the size of our universe and the effects of gravity can dominate again (unless more mergers happen and cause it to accelerate again).
@@Lawsonomy1 Look into Lee Smolin's book "The Life of the Cosmos". He brings in the cosmological constant and other physical constants (i.e. speed of light, alpha, mass of the electron, ratio of mass between neutron and proton, etc.) and suggests that each new universe capable of producing black holes will tweak those constants and go on to produce universes with more black holes, or they may produce universes which slightly lessen the production of black holes relative to the parent universe. A sort of cosmological evolution: a universe which produces many black holes would likely produce a universe with many black holes & hence many new universes with slightly different physical constants. Smolin doesn't attempt to establish rules for how the constants change for epistomological reasons: all we can ever know exists within our universe & we can't step outside of it. Interesting food for thought
"Our observable universe alone has created at least ten to the power of seventeen black holes so far." Subtitles: "Our observable universe alone has created at least 1017 black holes so far." That's a huge difference in the number of black holes for people with functional ears and deaf people.
But in the end it's the same type of thought and problem, if you change the concept of a black hole with Gods. Who created the Universe? = A creator God Who created God? = His creator God Who created him ? = His creator God It always ends in an Infinite regress
I totally agree, somehow I see endless, romantic, good willing beauty in this. And I do firmly believe this has to be a slice of incomprehensible, extradimensional truth. Also, it fits perfectly with the "Egg Theory" and so much more Also, let's agree to ignore this UTTP guy, I reported him, that's going to get the weird comments in between removed if more do
@@manuelkohpei3719 Also The "Egg Theory" is just simply amazing ❤ But I also think that ahhhh i just love it I'm glad I see another user like you loving the theory By the way let's just report the bots and UTTP channel user and ignore that is the best action to clean the Comment section 😂😂
@@a.o.e7168 For me, Theology and the Physics of the incomprehensible go hand in hand, not in a sense that "god must be doing the physics", it's rather "there is nothing in physics that isn't god". To give a keyword one could look up: life as a controlled hallucination. If there are parts of me, I, the controlled hallucination agree on and call reality, how could I ever truely understand what else is aware? If there are parts of me aware enough to create me, it would be foolish to call all parts that make me up unaware. Leads me to the point where I think, that awareness is an aspect of spacetime itself. And that, for me, creates the clear bridge between this black hole theory, the "universe is finite, but is some sort of hypersphere" theory, "when there is one hypersphere, then there should be many more hence multiverse" theory and "the egg" theory. It's like being is enough to be a being, the universe as it's own observer. Free will is also a wonderful subject, where I am a believer of free will, because I think if there wasn't free will, then it wouldn't make actual sense for "me" to be in this body and observe thoughts, rather then my "meat computer" just calculating the output to any given input. And whoever gets me here, at least in parts, will probably know what i'm talking about when i'm saying there are things in life better used as tools, rather than toys 😄 I'm glad to have met you here ☺ i wish you well friend
This video has perfectly explained an uneducated theory ive thought about for YEARS i always thought our universe existed within a blackhole and this is just absolutely surreal
My personal theory is that all black holes share and lead to the same singularity. But tbh I prefer your version more. It's weirdly comforting in a way I don't have words for yet.
@@zenitpett2183 My only question is how our near black holes are creating universe based on what enters them especially small ones. Does that mean matter gets converted to infinity. Like throw your egg in the black hole that spawns stars and stuff inside it
Every Kurzgesagt intro ever: - Infinite black hole loop that breaks time and space, creating infinite universes - Building a black hole out of air - Merch advertisement
The concept of our universe potentially being a black hole inside a larger universe is astounding. All this cosmic information goes to show how much more there is to learn and discover.
@@EntergeticalakaBot Captions contain errors. Captions are usually made by third parties who listen and write down. (Or more recently, using speech to text systems). Not by uploading the script.
You have perfectly described the theory that I had 10 to 15 years ago that all black holes harbor universes and I am glad to see theory explained in a video. This is amazing!
Kurzgesagt, I've watched every single one of your videos, and I think this one covers the grandest scope yet. One of the finest works not just on your channel, but on all of UA-cam. Amazing, and I can't thank you enough for your work.
I truly am starting to feel that the basic state of the universe is infinity. Infinity large. Infinitely small. Continually growing at the cosmic and microscopic levels. It’s a mind bending thought.
An infinite universe would be too expensive. It’s much cheaper and easier to just make smaller, short lived critters, not even a trillion trillionth the size of a small star. They think they’re special! 😂
Infinity in physics usually arises from incomplete mathematic models or usage of constants that mask an unexplainable but measurable or emergent property or limit. It's illogical that a finite amount of matter would create an infinite anything, given that we also believe that black holes also evaporate via hawking radiation therefore their lifespan and energy/mass content is clearly finite. When you stop treating limits of mathematics of general relativity as limits of the universe, you can start explaining black holes away in many ways. So there may be real physical infinities and there may not be any, infinities and finite constants may simply be errors in our mathematics, or the universe is continuous, or there may be a smallest unit of time, or smallest unit of space, at the moment it's impossible to tell. GR does not play well at extremely small scales, and it does not play well with extreme scales, e.g. inside black holes.
Ever since I first discovered this channel, I have been impressed by the quality of the videos, and this one is no exception. I especially enjoy the music. Fantastic work; I look forward to the next.
The universe may be inside a black hole, and that may be existentially terrifying for the universe, but the bit of the universe I’m in has my friends in it too.
I know a lot of common discussions of black holes use the simply-but-obviously-wrong "eternal black hole" model: that being a BH that has always existed, never changes, and will never cease to exist. This model is mathematically much simpler, and presumably makes accurate predictions about most of the BH's lifetime, but obviously can't be used as-is for radical changes to the BH itself, like formation, evaporation, and mergers. Those events are _much_ harder to mathematically model with the same level of internal detail, largely because of how awkwardly BHs fit into our current best theory of gravity (general relativity). Finally circling back to the question: I suspect that the most honest answer is probably "we don't know". However... if we take the idea that the singularity is a point in time, specifically infinitely(!) in the future, rather than a point in space seriously... it seems fairly reasonable to suppose that nothing would actually reach it until long _after_ any possible mergers, and that the "contained" universes would not (could not?) properly exist "within" the BH until that (infinitely distant) future time. To shift the framing of the thought experiment a bit: a BH as we could observe it now doesn't actually, yet, contain the "child" universe, but rather a "promise" that the child universe _will_ exist in the (infinite) future. If BHs merge, then there would presumably be fewer such "promises", but since the children themselves don't exist yet from the perspective of someone observing the merger, it/they would be unaffected, except insofar as the contents of its/their "parent" BH(s) affect them, but that'd presumably be analogous to "changing the recipe before making the cake".
Most Black Hole calculations suggest that when you cross the Event Horizon, time in the 'outside' universe stops. This means whatever is inside will technically never experience the merger even if that happened - it would take an infinity for the two Black Holes to get near each other, let alone merge. This would also mean the 'black hole universe tree' can't collapse to the death of the 'mother universes' either.
And it doesn’t even have to be another black hole to join. A simpler question is, what happens when a matter from this universe falls into the black hole? Does it appear as a magical appearance from heavens for someone in the black hole universe?
Hawking radiation doesn't make sense to me. That idea is that pairs of particles pop into existence all over the place and they normally immediately collide with each other and disappear, but at the edge of a BH one of them flies off while the other falls in. Somehow that makes the hole shrink even though it consumed something it didn't have before.
@@ongerekno, that matter would get released with all the other matter that fell into the black hole at the same time, whenever the child universe gets born, which is in the infinite future singularity of the black hole.
i love that because of kurzgesagt I now sit in my office watching these videos, then panic for a second at the thought that strange quarks, universal collapse, or some other universal end is hurtling at me silently and my existence will be blown out like a candle before i can even react. good times
Ive been struggling ever since I started thinking about the ultimate death and end of the universe, and this video actually calmed me down. Thank you so much!
It's not a multiverse; a multiverse would be parallel universes to our own, with our own versions of us etc. This theory posits that every universe (including ours) contains infinite universes.
@@92HazelMocha It actually is a form of multiverse theory. These types of multiverse models (including other models like inflation driven bubble universes) also have an interesting side effect when you follow their logic to its ultimate conclusion: if you pick a random intelligent being from a technological civilization that can be selected from any universe in the multiverse, that intelligent being will, with almost certainty, be a member of the first technological civilization in its particular universe. This is an inevitable consequence of the exponential growth of universes in models like this one. Basically, there are always vastly, vastly more new universes than their were old ones, to such a degree that older universes are outnumbered effectively infinity to 1. Each new instant of time that passes, the sum total of old, previously existing universes approaches zero when compared to the number of new universes created in that instant. Because any given universe you could point at (from a hypothetical not-really-real position viewing the entire multiverse) is virtually guaranteed to have been created in the past infinitesimal instant of time, the any given lifeform you choose at random will always be the youngest lifeform that its universe could have produced, when viewed from the point of view of existence as a whole. What's nice about this is that you can derive the Fermi Paradox from these models. If we exist in such a universe/multiverse, one that follows anything even approaching this set of rules, then you wouldn't expect us to see any aliens around us. We'd be the first in our region, if not in the entire universe. Of course this type of multiverse model also solves "fine tuning" issues, and a host of other weird things that are hard to explain about our universe's setup. But that's a feature that most multiverse models possess, so it's not that important.
@@92HazelMocha Oh no, it would by definition be a multiverse. It may or may not contain multiple universes "with its own version of us", but that was never a requirement to begin with. After all, it's not like every solar system, or even every universe, has an Earth.
Because if that universe can’t create black hole it will decay and die out but if they have black hole in side it will get replace. This is what I understand
It makes sense though, we couldn’t exist if the conditions weren’t right for us to exist. And since nothing doesn’t exist, everything that can happen eventually will, if it hasn’t already. We may have all had a similar experience a few universes ago, nice to see you all again. 😊
I know a very interesting topic it’s about honey bees you could make a video talking about the bee caste system and that the queen be has no power and the the worker bees are the ones who have power over the hive.And you can also talk about chemical communication and hive warfare and how bees wage war with wasps and you could also talk about pollination and how bees make honey. You don’t have to make the video because you may have other ideas but it’s ok if you don’t make the video but I think it’s an really interesting topic and I hope you make it. Sorry for the long comment 0:02
I never imagined I could feel EVEN smaller after a theory. Let alone that the universe is huge... It might only be a fraction of something even a lot bigger! Truly interesting and thought provoking!
i mean scientifically, ANYTHING is possible. the fact that black holes exist is an example of that. no “outrageous” theory is actually outrageous. any possible thought you could ever think when it comes to the universe is a possibility. i’m not saying the universe is reigned by something like a unicorn made of spaghetti, what im saying is that there are infinite possibilities and every idea is just as feasible as the other
The truth is: we don't know. Oxymoronic truth? Who knows? We are so small and tiny currently, if we did travel to a black hole -somehow and went in it....and survived the new "universe" maybe so different that.... It was just a dream and that nothing actually exists in this computer program... just 1's and 0's on a computer inside a black hole in a different universe. My brain Explodes.. but my brain isn't real? Whaaaaaaaaat???? Nothing! I'm on my lunch break Maah!
Classical pseudo science, sounds reasonable at first, can't stand if you just put a little thought into it. Even if, a big if, BH creates a baby universe, it's still contained inside the parent universe, and has limited mass. There is NO natural selection, baby universes don't survive the parent universe.

Yes. Our universe is expanding, because we are in a hungry black hole.
@@theassailer18 The expanding of our universe isn't happening because more matter is being added to it. Space is growing, not the amount of stuff in space.

Black holes don’t care
I've wrapped my mind around black holes birthing universes, but I can't quite wrap my mind around merging black holes and how that affects this theory.
And what about hyper-inflation and the cosmological constant. How does that fit in?
Well, I just tried to visualize what would happen if a small black hole universe (stellar mass), merged with a large black hole universe (ultra massive). What I got was that from the perspective of the small black hole universe, there would be a sudden massive decrease in density. This could cause the contents of the small universe to disperse rapidly (from the inflow of spacetime) in what I imagine would resemble cosmic inflation. Of course this is speculative (more like fanciful thinking), but if we are in a black hole universe and the density of matter is greater than what we should observe, then perhaps the perceived expansion of the universe will continue until the density is close to what should be observed in a black hole the size of our universe and the effects of gravity can dominate again (unless more mergers happen and cause it to accelerate again).
@@Lawsonomy1 Look into Lee Smolin's book "The Life of the Cosmos". He brings in the cosmological constant and other physical constants (i.e. speed of light, alpha, mass of the electron, ratio of mass between neutron and proton, etc.) and suggests that each new universe capable of producing black holes will tweak those constants and go on to produce universes with more black holes, or they may produce universes which slightly lessen the production of black holes relative to the parent universe. A sort of cosmological evolution: a universe which produces many black holes would likely produce a universe with many black holes & hence many new universes with slightly different physical constants. Smolin doesn't attempt to establish rules for how the constants change for epistomological reasons: all we can ever know exists within our universe & we can't step outside of it. Interesting food for thought
@@charlesdufour9276☝🏻🤓
i think the idea is that black holes form new universes at their singularity, which would be after any merging
"Our observable universe alone has created at least ten to the power of seventeen black holes so far."

That's a huge difference in the number of black holes for people with functional ears and deaf people.
Both numbers are technically right though.

But in the end it's the same type of thought and problem, if you change the concept of a black hole with Gods.

@@a.o.e7168 For me, Theology and the Physics of the incomprehensible go hand in hand, not in a sense that "god must be doing the physics", it's rather "there is nothing in physics that isn't god".
To give a keyword one could look up: life as a controlled hallucination.
If there are parts of me, I, the controlled hallucination agree on and call reality, how could I ever truely understand what else is aware? If there are parts of me aware enough to create me, it would be foolish to call all parts that make me up unaware. Leads me to the point where I think, that awareness is an aspect of spacetime itself. And that, for me, creates the clear bridge between this black hole theory, the "universe is finite, but is some sort of hypersphere" theory, "when there is one hypersphere, then there should be many more hence multiverse" theory and "the egg" theory. It's like being is enough to be a being, the universe as it's own observer.
Free will is also a wonderful subject, where I am a believer of free will, because I think if there wasn't free will, then it wouldn't make actual sense for "me" to be in this body and observe thoughts, rather then my "meat computer" just calculating the output to any given input.
And whoever gets me here, at least in parts, will probably know what i'm talking about when i'm saying there are things in life better used as tools, rather than toys 😄

My personal theory is that all black holes share and lead to the same singularity.

@@rakoboy8what’s a glazaer???
I truly am starting to feel that the basic state of the universe is infinity. Infinity large. Infinitely small. Continually growing at the cosmic and microscopic levels. It’s a mind bending thought.
An infinite universe would be too expensive. It’s much cheaper and easier to just make smaller, short lived critters, not even a trillion trillionth the size of a small star. They think they’re special! 😂
cheers jeff for that powerful insight
Jeffrey
Much like the Dude, the universe abides.
Infinity in physics usually arises from incomplete mathematic models or usage of constants that mask an unexplainable but measurable or emergent property or limit. It's illogical that a finite amount of matter would create an infinite anything, given that we also believe that black holes also evaporate via hawking radiation therefore their lifespan and energy/mass content is clearly finite.
When you stop treating limits of mathematics of general relativity as limits of the universe, you can start explaining black holes away in many ways. So there may be real physical infinities and there may not be any, infinities and finite constants may simply be errors in our mathematics, or the universe is continuous, or there may be a smallest unit of time, or smallest unit of space, at the moment it's impossible to tell. GR does not play well at extremely small scales, and it does not play well with extreme scales, e.g. inside black holes.

kurzgesagt never fails to give me a life chrisis.
This begs the question, if two black holes merger, what happens to the contained universes inside?
Edit) interesting comments below!
I know a lot of common discussions of black holes use the simply-but-obviously-wrong "eternal black hole" model: that being a BH that has always existed, never changes, and will never cease to exist. This model is mathematically much simpler, and presumably makes accurate predictions about most of the BH's lifetime, but obviously can't be used as-is for radical changes to the BH itself, like formation, evaporation, and mergers. Those events are _much_ harder to mathematically model with the same level of internal detail, largely because of how awkwardly BHs fit into our current best theory of gravity (general relativity).
Finally circling back to the question: I suspect that the most honest answer is probably "we don't know".
However... if we take the idea that the singularity is a point in time, specifically infinitely(!) in the future, rather than a point in space seriously... it seems fairly reasonable to suppose that nothing would actually reach it until long _after_ any possible mergers, and that the "contained" universes would not (could not?) properly exist "within" the BH until that (infinitely distant) future time.
To shift the framing of the thought experiment a bit: a BH as we could observe it now doesn't actually, yet, contain the "child" universe, but rather a "promise" that the child universe _will_ exist in the (infinite) future. If BHs merge, then there would presumably be fewer such "promises", but since the children themselves don't exist yet from the perspective of someone observing the merger, it/they would be unaffected, except insofar as the contents of its/their "parent" BH(s) affect them, but that'd presumably be analogous to "changing the recipe before making the cake".
Most Black Hole calculations suggest that when you cross the Event Horizon, time in the 'outside' universe stops. This means whatever is inside will technically never experience the merger even if that happened - it would take an infinity for the two Black Holes to get near each other, let alone merge.
This would also mean the 'black hole universe tree' can't collapse to the death of the 'mother universes' either.
And it doesn’t even have to be another black hole to join. A simpler question is, what happens when a matter from this universe falls into the black hole? Does it appear as a magical appearance from heavens for someone in the black hole universe?
Hawking radiation doesn't make sense to me. That idea is that pairs of particles pop into existence all over the place and they normally immediately collide with each other and disappear, but at the edge of a BH one of them flies off while the other falls in. Somehow that makes the hole shrink even though it consumed something it didn't have before.
@@ongerekno, that matter would get released with all the other matter that fell into the black hole at the same time, whenever the child universe gets born, which is in the infinite future singularity of the black hole.
i love that because of kurzgesagt I now sit in my office watching these videos, then panic for a second at the thought that strange quarks, universal collapse, or some other universal end is hurtling at me silently and my existence will be blown out like a candle before i can even react. good times

Bro just created a new multiverse theory and disguised it as a black hole video and thought we wouldn’t notice 💀
It's not a multiverse; a multiverse would be parallel universes to our own, with our own versions of us etc. This theory posits that every universe (including ours) contains infinite universes.
@@92HazelMocha just a tidbit 😅 i was just
Making a small joke mate, not actually being serious lol
This shit made me literally have an existential crisis 💀
@@92HazelMocha It actually is a form of multiverse theory. These types of multiverse models (including other models like inflation driven bubble universes) also have an interesting side effect when you follow their logic to its ultimate conclusion: if you pick a random intelligent being from a technological civilization that can be selected from any universe in the multiverse, that intelligent being will, with almost certainty, be a member of the first technological civilization in its particular universe.
This is an inevitable consequence of the exponential growth of universes in models like this one. Basically, there are always vastly, vastly more new universes than their were old ones, to such a degree that older universes are outnumbered effectively infinity to 1. Each new instant of time that passes, the sum total of old, previously existing universes approaches zero when compared to the number of new universes created in that instant. Because any given universe you could point at (from a hypothetical not-really-real position viewing the entire multiverse) is virtually guaranteed to have been created in the past infinitesimal instant of time, the any given lifeform you choose at random will always be the youngest lifeform that its universe could have produced, when viewed from the point of view of existence as a whole.
What's nice about this is that you can derive the Fermi Paradox from these models. If we exist in such a universe/multiverse, one that follows anything even approaching this set of rules, then you wouldn't expect us to see any aliens around us. We'd be the first in our region, if not in the entire universe.
Of course this type of multiverse model also solves "fine tuning" issues, and a host of other weird things that are hard to explain about our universe's setup. But that's a feature that most multiverse models possess, so it's not that important.
@@92HazelMocha Oh no, it would by definition be a multiverse.
It may or may not contain multiple universes "with its own version of us", but that was never a requirement to begin with. After all, it's not like every solar system, or even every universe, has an Earth.

Because if that universe can’t create black hole it will decay and die out but if they have black hole in side it will get replace. This is what I understand
It makes sense though,
we couldn’t exist if the conditions weren’t right for us to exist.
And since nothing doesn’t exist, everything that can happen eventually will, if it hasn’t already.
