It's true. The giants that used to terrible the earth are now trapped in black holes. Your statement has biblical backing. Check the book of Enoch when God took him to explore the heavens.
"Hey, uh, we have a small issue." "What is it?" "You know how celestial bodies use that density method depending on their mass and size? Apparently a large enough body overflows and the density is calculated as infinite." "Oh. Well, I'm sure it's such an insane size that it won't realistically happen in a timeline. Maybe we could work it into a cool end-of-universe thing though." "Except it can happen in a timeline. And it has in tests. And the moment it happens everything collapses because density is infinite and thus gravity is infinite." "The universe is supposed to come out in two days! Just change the formula!" "We've tried. I'm sorry, but changing it breaks everything else that relies on it." "Well I don't know! Just hide it or something. We can do bugfixes and stuff after release, but it has to be at least playable." "What do you want me to do, just create matter voids around them?" "...you know what? Sure. But make it intuitive. Maybe they get larger the more you feed them?" "I can do that. Oh, and we can make them decay over time so that they delete themselves but it doesn't feel unrealistic!" "Perfect. Just get that coded in and we'll call it a day."
Learning that a Black Hole's center is "in the future" kind of broke my mind for several minutes. ALso: This animation just keeps getting better and better!
It's because of the relativistic effects of gravity. It's not in the future "per se", but you would experience the death of the universe if you were falling towards one
@@accountnamewithheld At the point where we talk about time in things like this, the definition of time that we use everyday becomes meaningless. Past, present and future happen at the same time. It's the same with space. You're everywhere and everywhen and that all at once.
@@accountnamewithheld I was wondering this, too. Its gravitational pull would be so massive, everything around it will look like it's going extremely fast. But how does that make singularity lie in the future? Shouldn't it be in the past? We from the outside move on, might even die, before the singularity is reached.
It's interesting to note that singularities don't break actual physics, more like they break the model we use at the moment to understand physics. This is important, because it means that singularities can and do make sense, the problem is we don't have the right model to understand them yet.
Couldn’t the answer instead be that within the event horizon, there is something other than a singularity? E.g. iirc one idea assuming string theory is that the interior of a black hole is like, a big jumble of the “strings” , which end up (I guess due to having so much energy) having size comparable to the size of the black hole, instead of being of a subatomic size?
This. My biggest petpeeve with popscience videos is the "break reality" trope. No, it doesn't break reality, it is part of reality. It can break OUR understanding (our science) of reality, but to the natural world itself that's just tuesday.
As an astrophysicist, I'm extremely impressed with how Kurzgesagt was able to put this into understandable or simplified terms. Studying the capacity of black holes has always boggled my mind no matter the depths I go into the physics we have now.
Honestly, I'm surprised they never threw in white holes, whether for the anti-blackhole (if a white hole isn't the anti-particle of a black hole, then nothing is), or as a comment on the "anything can come out" aspect of a naked singularity. They even mentioned Hawking radiation, and that might _be_ the real-world manifestation of a white hole, and still no mention of white holes.
White hole isn't an anti-black hole. Also they are sort of complete nonsense that can't exist in our Universe. But just for the fun of it, I'm also curious.
@@absalomdraconisantimatter is the opposite of matter only in charge.. same spin.. same masse.. And white wholes are opposite in mass.. Its technically negative mass.. But colliding them together would be impossible i think.. because of how positive and negative mass behave together.. plus they still dont have that much of science behind white wholes
@@ibrahimbenhmida3852It's definitely not negative mass. And, there is no such thing as negative mass. If white holes do exist, they would be composed of mass, not negative mass.
I love how it starts out funny with the silly idea of nuking a black hole then gets unsettling when talking about the effects of a singularity with no event horizon.
I feel like this video failed to cover two important notes about those singularities though: one being that infinite mass is impossible and its effects would have to wane at some distance, and second that it is not unlikely that it just forms a new event horizon around its tiny self immediately after the previous one dissipates
The concept of a naked singularity is just incredible to me. It's a concept reminiscent of cosmic horror stories, as it is something so unfathomably powerful, indescribable, inconceivable and incomprehensible that simple observation of it could potentially cause reality itself to break in ways we couldn't even begin to imagine. And yet, this is a scientific hypothesis, not a horror story. The idea of something like that potentially being possible sends shivers down my spine. While I'd honestly be shocked if naked singularities were actually physically possible in our universe, the concept has an appeal nothing else can really quite match.
Fr, imagine something so unspeakably horrible, dangerous, or just plain weird that the nature of the universe throws all the stops at you possible to prevent it from being unleashed
The real horror comes from the concept of something and nothing and its far reaching implications. Either something came from nothing, which should be impossible. Or something always existed. Either way the full picture of reality is far beyond our current experience.
Sorry to be a buzzkill, but in this video they kinda forget what a singularity is to begin with: a kind of divide by zero error. It's just a hole in the mathematics we use to describe gravity. Singularities aren't physical. You can't have a naked singularity because they don't exist. If we have a theory of quantum gravity, that might explain what would happen if we push a black hole past its breaking point (if there even is such a thing). There is no such thing as breaking reality however.
The animations are otherworldly as always, but the soundtrack for this video goes so hard it's like a final boss fight music. Props to everyone who makes these videos possible!
90% of what we know about space are mainly theories. The first breakthrough for me would be having a proper picture of an exoplanet and not just a blurry one pixel image
If future humans can get black hole bombs to work, doesn't that mean we'll have energy to survive as long as the black holes, if not longer? Long after the universe has gone dark?
Just a quick note. Singularity as a point is only for static (non-rotating) black holes. If the blackhole rotates, its singularity has a shape of a ring (ringularity). Another interesting point is that a rotating black hole has two event horizons. The funny fact is that in between the horizons, you don't have to necessarily travel towards the singularity although you can't escape from there. You could live happily there for years but if you crossed the second horizon you have to reach the singularity.
a ringshaped singularity actually makes me wonder: what happens if you are in the exact centre of that "ringularity"? Because, like Kurzgesagt also explained, the singularity would be your future. But if you are in the exact centre of this ring, every direction points toward the future.
@@baraapudding In theory, you should be able to safely pass through the middle and some think it should serve as a wormhole that spits you out into another universe from a white-hole. But I don't believe such a claims :D
@@baraapuddingas far as i understand, as long as you're past the event horizon every direction you can go will only ever lead you towards the singularity (which is the reason nothing can escape the event horizon). So i don't think it would matter if you were in the "hole" of a ringularity or somewhere else inside of the black hole. I'm not a physicist so i can't tell you for sure but i think that's how it works
I submitted the question on if there is anyway to destroy a black whole to Startalk. It actually was selected but the answer was pretty short and no theorizing as to what would happen with certain strategies. So this is nice to see :)
I love how the beginning was chill and contained simple explanations, then the Music in the end Being so Dramatic and how Kurzgesagt was basically like, "Everything has lost its meaning, The Universe becomes the definintion of Chaos and Absurdity"
well, probably not literal, it's just our theory breaks at that point so we replace the "??????" at the centre of a blackhole with the logical prediction of our theory, a singularity. but that means the theory is probably wrong, or more likely, incomplete
Are we sure those counts as being "in", or "part of" the universe? They sound like what was before the big bang, not part of the universe by definition.
I listened to a podcast recently that posited the idea that prehistoric black holes, that were formed shortly after the Big Bang, may have shrunk down to the planck scale and are stuck at that size; too small to interact with anything or disappear completely. If there are enough of these tiny black holes floating around, they could be a candidate for dark matter. Collectively they have a bunch of mass, but are individually too small to interact with matter.
Because the event horizon is the thing decaying to hawking radiation, not the singularity. This should mean, that most likely a naked singularity would be eternal. We can't know this for sure, as no black hole will die within the lifetime of our civilization.
@@jb76489not a physicist but from what I know the Hawking Radiation is what happens when a particle and antiparticle are created out of nothing. Normally they cancel eachother out and nothing happens. But when one particle is inside the event horizon and the other isn't, one particle "exists and the black whole "pays" the energetic toll for forcing it to exist. This is a very simplified explanation so I recommend you look into Hawking Radiation for more info
Yo if you are a physicist maybe you can answer my question... When a black hole shrinks over time - that must mean there is a point where its mass is no longer able to create an event horizon right? That would mean that at some point the singularity would be visible and maybe explode bc there is not enough gravity to compress itself, right?
@plantarum3276 Any mass can have an event horizon. It just gets smaller if your mass shrinks. However, there appears to be a lower limit that arises from quantum physics. Once that has been reached the black hole emits a photon whose energy corresponds to its remaining mass and it is gone. Sadly this is not very interesting, but that is probably the way all matter in the universe will ultimately go. At that time we will have reached the heat death of the universe.
Whenever I want that sense of existential dread I skip Lovecraftian horror and simply watch a ten minute video on black holes and immediately get a deep sense of fear that will never leave me questioning my perceived reality in a way that can't be done any other way. Thanks.
I don't feel the same dread... I get sad that I'll never be able to go and see such a thing for myself. Even taking a picture is pushing the limits of what we can do right now.
@@johnladuke6475 Existential dread is not necessarily fear, but a subtle sense of uncertainty, feeling your whole being belittled, that you start to question why you're brought to this universe. The sadness you feel is just that, I believe. Cuz I experience the same. I always wonder, the physics seems almost set just to prohibit us from exploring the vast 99.9999…% of all the possibilities in a Universe that is just out there for us to observe. It's almost a ridicue, a reminder to how tiny and powerless we are. Why are we still here then? Just to suffer?
The most chilling creatures in Lovecrafts work are these incredibly powerful and haughty extraterrestrials who -as they say- care less about humanity than the dirt under our shoes. But the horror fades at some point you notice two things: 1. They prefer to take privileged white young men with money and from good families to drive them crazy. 2. For the fact that they despise humanity so incredibly, they hang around with us very often and for a very long time.

@@justlivinglife6315 It's not exactly science fiction, it's more of just seeing what would happen if you inputted massive numbers into those physics equations. They just omitted the calculations. Now the validity of those physics equations is something else, as particle physics and theoretical physics are both fields that have frequent breakthroughs and rewrites of what we thought was set in stone.
From animation, to original SFX, to all the information you would need to know in a 8 minute long video, this channel finds a way to create fun and entertaining videos while giving out very good info told in a very good way.
well, break a stick enough times and you will end up with thin disks / or fine powder (depending on the way you ‘break’ it) i guess you will win eventually, which means it only needs determination and means of breaking it further and further. and when you look at the dust… its going to be hard to argue that the stick won… :) there is always a limit when things stop being a thing and they become something else. like those sticks… two sticks… 4 … etc… but at point it takes on a new form and becomes sawdust
Too bad they're grossly inaccurate on this video. There's no such thing as a singularity in real life, that simply means the mathematics has broken down and is no longer valid. A shame they constantly provide such great useful information until this video full of junk information that you cannot even claim is even the slightest bit scientifically accurate.
@@nopenope4402you do realize that most of the information we have on black holes are either hypothetical or unproven theories. You can’t prove there is no singularity in the middle of a black hole either because no one ever went there. Take a chill pill buddy.
haven’t come across a channel where i binge watch all the videos in YEARS like i mean new fresh ideas that are always engaging and interesting and every time this amazing team puts together a new video you know your gonna learn something in a fun way.
if they were advanced enough to know how to to that, they'd be advanced enough to know how stupid it would be. Only humanity level stupidity would be the reason why a black hole is stripped lmao.@@lihan6870
Way more than millions. Most scientists believe that each galaxy has a black hole at its center, and there are estimated to be 200 billion galaxies in the universe!
I heavily suspect there’s some weird physics rule we haven’t discovered yet that makes naked singularities impossible, like a process that makes it so that you can get rid of the event horizon, but it takes as long as it takes for the black hole to evaporate on its own to get rid of it, so you never get to the naked singularity.
It's just as likely that there is no such thing as a singularity to begin with. The concept of a singularity occurs because our math breaks past the event horizon. However discovering new math could change that. It's potentially similar to how there was a singularity past Mach 1 originally when calculating air resistance on planes. Then we actually went faster than Mach 1, learned the singularity was the result of a flawed model, and had to redo all the equations for calculating air resistance because it turns out air behaves differently than our equations predicted once you reach the speed of sound.
The Event Horizon is a region of extremely distorted space time, not a literal boundary. Hence the difficulty in defining it. It would be impossible to “break” or “remove” it in any way.
Or it's the start of the Big Bang as we understand it since Time becomes wonky / didn't exist where the explosion happened while the Infinite Density of whatever exploded created our set of physics. We may find something that counters that view of the Big Bang but at this point it seems the most likely.
There was a PBS Space Time video where Matt explained how black holes might not be able to fully evaporate. Something about Planck scale shenanigans suggests a (really small) lower size limit, making them a possible candidate for dark matter. It's like a hydra, the more we know about them, the more we DON'T know about them.
Knowing what we know about quantum physics suggests that "true" singularities (i.e. matter compressed to a mathematical point of infinite density) can't really exist - any "real life" singularity SHOULD have a finite (if really small) size and finite (if really high) density just from the uncertainty principle. The problem is we can't do any better than this because we don't have the necessary theories of quantum gravity to explain what happens during the black hole collapse yet. (And that doesn't even get into the "fuzzball" possibility from string theory...)
The animation is truely next level! The amount of creativity involved in showing something so difficult to fathom or make any sense of is just out if this world. Really amazing work!
Absolutely mesmerized by this video's artistic depth and expression. The animator's portrayal of the black hole is stunning and deeply moving. Fantastic work!
The more I read and know about black holes, the more I appreciate Christopher Nolan and his Interstellar. How scientifically accurate and logical he tried to make it! Kudos to your team to make everyone try to understand it!

Science and rules of physics in our universe have been created by Allah (SWT) and its mentioned multiple times for as many topics, such for this, our Prophet (saas) have indeed reached the boundaries (end of space-time) read by: --- Sûrat An- Najm ( The Star ) LIII, Chapter: 53 1. By the star when it decends 2. Your companion ( Muhammad) has neither gone astray nor has erred. 3. Nor does he speak of ( his own ) desire. 4. It is only a Revelation revealed. 5. He has been taught ( this Qur’ân ) by one mighty in power [ Jibrîl ( Gabriel ) ] 6. One free from any defect in body and mind then he ( Jibrîl - Gabriel in his real shape as created by Allah ) rose and became stable. 7. While he [ Jibrîl ( Gabriel ) ] was in the highest part of the horizon, ( Tafsir Ibn Kathir ) 8. Then he [ Jibrîl ( Gabriel ) ] approached and came closer, 9. And was at a distance of two bows’ length or ( even ) nearer. 10. So ( Allâh ) revealed to His slave [ Muhammad through Jibrîl ( Gabriel ) ( as ) ] whatever He revealed. 11. The ( Prophet’s ) heart lied not in what he ( Muhammad ) saw. 12. Will you then dispute with him ( Muhammad ) about what he saw [ during the Mi‘râj: ( Ascent of the Prophet to the seven heavens ) ] [ 1 ] 13. And indeed he ( Muhammad ) saw him [ Jibrîl ( Gabriel ) ] at a second descent ( i.e. another time ) . 14. Near Sidrat- ul- Muntaha ( a lote- tree of the utmost boundary over the seventh heaven beyond which none can pass ) . 15. Near it is the Paradise of Abode. 16. When that covered the lote- tree which did cover it! [ 2 ] 17. The sight ( of Prophet Muhammad ) turned not aside ( right or left ) , nor it transgressed beyond the limit ( ordained for it ) . 18.

Which mentioned in Quran, a day in the heavens (Space) could reach 50,000 years of our counting on earth And when the star descends, it could reach the blackhole threshold.

If falling into a black hole accelerates you into the future, and black holes evaporate in a finite amount of time, doesn't that mean nothing can ever reach a singularity?
I see it like this, when you fall on the event horizon, you become part of and are rapidly going to a future in which the black hole becomes so small it disappears, but you are still part of it Basically, the black hole is also falling into the singularity, and the moment it dissolves is the moment all of the object inside the black hole hit the singularity
You can reach it time is just distorted. What we see is anything that isn't light go to the center and vanish because your matter is crushed in the atomic level down to every atom and become a part of the mass of the black hole enhancing its gravitational pull and mass that's all compressed.
@@GIRGHGH it's not exactly how it works but it can help you understand With time, the black hole gets smaller and smaller until it disappears With time, you will fall into the singularity in the future What stops the moment you touch the singularity to be the moment the black hole disappears You both touch the singularity at the same time The black hole gets infinitely smaller (a singularity) You get squished into a singularity Think of it like a prison that is VERY slowly getting smaller and you are sentenced to death by being squished, the walls won't kill you, only in the future when there is no more space left for you, when you die and the wall touch each other, there is nothing inside the walls, so it is no longer a prison
@@GIRGHGH A black hole is compression of spacetime brought to its logical conclusion. As gravity is spacetime compression and the singularity is infinite curvature, spacetime flows into the singularity; the event horizon is simply the point where the speed of this flow is faster than the speed of light. Hawking radiation also manages to rob energy/mass from the black hole at cosmological timescales if it isn't fed, so it constantly contracts until it draws in more matter or energy (including cosmic microwave background radiation). And it will continue to contract at an ever-accelerating pace (from grass growing to snail's pace) until the final moments of evaporation are like a supernova. It'll just take a googol years to reach that point.
This is terrifying lol why do you guys love being so amazingly destructive i've been following your channel for years and it just seems to get better and better, wow
The only way I've heard singularities effectively only existing 'in the future' explained in a way I've understood was that at the moment a singularity would be created because of the immense gravity warping space-time that moment is stretched indefinitely. It's nice to see it explained in a similar way again and as always kurzgesagt is greatly informative.
I wanted to add, The nature of a "singularity" is a mathematical one. Sort of when you divide a number by zero, basically you break our arithmetics and the result can be whatever you like. The "event horizon" is the last region of Space around the Black Hole where our mathematics still apply. Beyond the event horizon, while our maths doesn't work, phylosophy still does. I see how you wonderfully expanded the concept with this video. Thanks! Anthony
you hit on a key point here. it's just math. not any real thing that we have evidence of. black holes are just like dividing by zero. you can talk about it as a concept, but it's essentially meaningless. it has no basis in reality.
@@piotrd.4850 we know that they exist, but as far as I understand, anything inside of the event horizon doesn't exist, at least in the sense that anything inside of the event horizon no longer follows any of the rules that we use to define "existing"

How would you be able to get close and not touch it? Wouldn’t the vicinity still be a huge gravitational well? Instead of just getting sucked in if you touch it? (Somewhere around 4:05)
I often think that black holes are like bugs in a game, something broke, some paradox, star got too much mass it collapsed into a black hole, it mesmerizes me that such things exist. Universe is quite magical
Perhaps we are living in a simulation and when massive objects collapse in on themselves, because the density becomes so huge, some floating-point error occurs during the computation which returns an infinite density (thus creating the singularity) and creates a black hole 🤔
@@maxave7448 That's not what a floating point error is. Floating point error is when there is a lack of adequate precision which leads to errors when performing math. If you want an example, take out your smartphone, open the calculator, divide 1 by 2, then divide the result by 2, and repeat over and over until you get some very tiny number that can only be displayed in scientific notation. Then start multiplying by 2 over and over until you get back to 1. You will find that you won't get 1, but actually a number like 1.0000269312. That's floating point error, the small numbers could not be represented with enough precision and then when you try to reverse the process you end up with the wrong result.
What bothers me about videos like this is that they fail to acknowledge the fact that we just don't know so much about how the universe works. The laws of physics don't "break down" inside a black hole, it's just that physics as we understand it doesn't work under certain conditions, but it works under most normal conditions. Our understanding of the laws of physics are incomplete, they're wrong. The way we think the universe works doesn't work inside a singularity, so we say it 'breaks the rules', when in reality, we just don't know all the rules.
The line that really got me in the gut was "...the singularity is not in front of you; it's in your future." If that ain't cosmic horror at its finest.
Ikr. And if time is flowing backwards... Wouldnt that future to us be perceived as being in the past to an observer inside the black hole? Hense the singularity that gave birth to the big bang. Then lets continue to assume that to expand is just a property of space in and of itself, then the part of space that was originally contained withen the newly formed singularity, a single planc length of space is all you need to seed an ever expanding universe. It would just continue expanding forever in all directions outwards from an event in the "past" like we observe space to do. WOAH. Hold up. I now get why the big bang isnt at the centre of the universe. Its a point in time not a point in space. Holy fuck I cant believe I never fully wrapped my head around that. Classical thinking seems to feel as though space "should" emenate "outwards" from the big bang, but from our perspective as we look into space its like space comes rushing in from all directions following an event in the past that we cant see because of the cosmic event horizon. We would have to go faster then light and therefore back in time. We cant see the singularity here either because its just like the black hole. It exists as a moment before space and time. If you can even call that a "moment." That makes the brain spin to try and imagine haha. You get what Im laying down here? I never even noticed the incompletness in the brains ability to grasp Space-time. And what it has to do with our cosmic event horizon being like a bubble around us despite the fact space has no centre to it. Should place us at the center as we observe outwards no? That right there is a hint that were not picturing space correctly. Like does that mean the big bang happened EVERYWHERE?!? No. EVERYWHEN! Wait.... See what I mean!? WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE AND WHY CAN MY BRIAN KIND OF CONTEMPLATE THAT. DOES PART OF WHATEVER "I" AM EXIST OUTSIDE OF SPACETIME? WE HAVE TOO MANNNN. AND THAT WOULD THEN GIVE RISE TO CONCIOUSNESS FOLLOWING MY ACID THEORY OF LIFE 😂 Its all connected hahaha. There was no time before the big bang, there was also no space!! The big bang THAT MADE SPACETIME, HOLD UP. took place OUTSIDE OF SPACETIME. IT HAD TO OF. IT HAPPENED RIGHT AT THE INSTANCE BEFORE SPACE AND TIME CAUSE IT CREATED SPACE AND TIME THATS WHY WE CAN NEVER SEE IT NO MATTER HOW FAR BACK WE LOOK. In order for time to exist the fastest speed at which information can travel is light speed. But light speed is actually defined as the distance at which light travels in a vacuum. "Distance" implies space. You cant have distance between things without space between them. Therefore you cant have time and causality without space. Hense. Space-time. Lol. So without there being a spacetime for the big bang to occur in. It can not occur in any specific location. Theres no location to have housed it in 😂 Time is a property of space. its literally just space. Its ALL space. Space is a mind bending concept. Spacetime is where the universe happens. Its all fuckn Space-time bro, I. I cant even right now 🤯😂💀
@@Opt1cILu5i0nThese sorts of realizations is why i personally believe in a consious Creator. If a 'naked singularity' is a construct of 'maximum absurdity with infinite range', that basically translates to being with unlimited information and ability to release said information. Yet space-time was actively construed to hold information in a recognizable form by the beings that would inhabit said 'information'. WHY???. Why not just release truly unstable things all the time/all the space, why have a universal/axiomatic censor on the truly absurd and unstable? My only answer i can understand is that constraints were not necessary but curated, intended. Anecdotally nothing in the universe typically wishes to be alone so I would like to persume God inconcievable and infinitely full of 'information' wanted to share it and the universe as observed is how he shares his space(time) with everyone. Angels, animals, solar constructs, humans, everyone and everything that 'lives' is his, Jehovah's, passion project.
I asked a physicist a couple months ago if anyone had calculated what it would take for a black hole to blow up, and he said nobody had ever tried. And here you guys are, with all your research. Nerds really are the best. ❤ Keep on asking the right questions!
The video didn't calculate anything either. Just mentioned what others hypothesize. It's all a fantasy, in the end. That physicist gave you a real answer instead of a fantasy.
This has to be most awe inducing video by you guys. Exploring these concepts and theories of the most extreme scenarios is what inspires me to understand more about how the universe works!
If that’s true, I’d strongly suggest you don’t attempt to do so by watching vids here. There were SO many concepts mentioned that are either 100% theory and absolutely no possibility of happening in the real, physical world, there were several concepts mentioned which go against the mainstream current understanding and so on. Do yourself a favour and go check out PBS Space Time. It’s hosted and written by an actual professor of astrophysics, and they have REAL graphics and an actual human being, not just this lsd inspired cartoons which are constantly shown here. I’m saying this for your benefit, if you really are inspired to learn about this awesome subject matter, don’t do it here, you’ll seriously regret it a few years down the track when you find out you’ve been misled and lied to and must relearn a shitload of the stuff you thought you already knew.
Infinite density does not make sense, if it really was infinite then the gravitational pull it exerts on the universe would be infinite, and so the whole universe would be going at the speed of light towards the singularity Plus, how a single point with 0 volume even make sense? The pauli exclusion principle forbids fermions (e.g. electrons) from occupying the same state. That means no 2 electrons can be in the same place, therefore 0 volume is impossible as that would mean 2 particles occupying the same space.
For a rotating black hole, its singularity is shaped like a ring. When you spin it too fast, its singularity grows out of its own event horizon - which is why it's deemed impossible (there's also a lot of complicated math about it). These black holes also have 2 different event horizons, one time-like and one space-like. All natural black holes are thought to be rotating, with the "standard" non-rotating black holes being purely theoretical. The inverse is true for charged black holes, those are only thought to exist in theory since natural black holes neutralize their own charge by attracting more of opposite charge matter.
a ringshaped singularity actually makes me wonder: what happens if you are in the exact centre of that "ringularity"? Because, like Kurzgesagt also explained, the singularity would be your future. But if you are in the exact centre of this ring, every direction points toward the future.
I'm curious why charged black holes are thought to only exist in theory - surely there are regions of space where, by chance, the amounts of particles with one charge vastly outnumber those of another charge?

THANK YOUUUUUUU OMG AS SOMEONE WHO IS IN A SYMPHONIC ORCHESTRA; MUSIC LIKE THIS FEELS LIKE YOU'RE FLYING IM MESMERISED WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE HOW AMAZED I AM
What a method to convey increasingly complex concepts. Physics breaking down has always meant our understanding of the universe failing us. It has always meant progress. You could refer to the gold sheet experiment of Rutherford as breaking the "physics". What you do here is amazing. Thank you.
I get what you mean, but I've always interpreted "physics breaking down" to be more than that. Not so much that our understanding of physical laws falters, but that the environment becomes such that our known set of laws becomes abstract and meaningless. A world where any set of rules or laws would need to be discovered from scratch and could completely contradict fundamental principles of the original physics that got broken.
The comparison of a black hole to an elementary particle was really interesting. I almost wonder if some of the weird properties of black holes exist because it's basically a macro object running on quantum software lol After all, the quantum world often behaves in ways that make no sense outside of it.
@@qwertyqwert2818 Good point. It would make sense that it behaves similarly considering it's actually the smallest object in the universe, just surrounded by darkness.
The idea of an naked singularity is the most Lovecraftian concept i've ever heard about. It really makes me wanna uncover one and condemn the whole fabric of reality to perish
That's probably because they aren't telling you enough about them. Singularities are widely regarded as mathematical fictions. They aren't totally unexplainable or universe shattering or physics breaking, they are probably just not real. There is no reason to worry about a naked singularity turning the universe into shrimp or something silly like that. There's no reason to think that a naked one would have any impact on the rest of the universe even if it did exist.
I really want to thank kurzgesagt for their incredible impact on our understanding of the universe, basically everything I know about it comes from your videos!
I literally got goosebumps when the whole orchestra music starts playing when they are talking about the singularity. Amazing. It's crazy to think such absurdity as the singularity exists in our physical universe, almost as if its sci-fi.
to be fair, it is currently sci-fi. Kurzgesagt was not completely accurate here, forgetting to mention that singularities are only a mathematical object, one of the main issues of general relativity theory. In the history of physics, there's a famous occurence of a theory predicting infinite value, this is called the ultraviolet catastrophe. Quantum physics came and fix it all up. General relativity might suffer some issues as well, and physicists are trying for a few decades to create a solid theory of quantum gravity to fix the issues with general relativity, but with no sucess for now. Maybe singularities are a thing, but infinite values are pretty stupid, and most likely, it's an issue with the theory.
@@totolamenace it is crazy to me that any object when compressed down enough into a blackhole will have a singularity of "infinite density, infinite mass, infinite gravity". We will probably never know if this is true or not. Or maybe quantum gravity will fix it. Because if this is true, that means an object of any mass will eventually become the same density of infinity. Or maybe I'm wrong on this because in maths, they prove that the number of real number is larger than the number of integers. Idk, but its crazy for me to think.
@@CellRus Definitely not 'infinite mass' but infinite gravity/density. Yeah and it is also up for debate because the only reason we think that is because we haven't discovered any forces in the uiverse that could potentially counteract the insane gravity , BUT that does not mean that there ARE NONE. Maybe there are some unknown yet undiscovered forces at play that we don't yet know about because they exsist at a scale we are currently unable to measure, preventing the collapse to infinity ;/. I mean the fact that they MOVE is a dead giveaway , don't you agree ? Infinite gravity implies 0 TIME ticks at the object. So how can an object move , or spin, or have a charge ?
@@EvilPauli yeah for sure, a new fundamental force, there are just so much we don't know. To me, it's mindblowing, like an object like a blackhole, with an infinite density singularity that warp space time so much yet can move from place to place. It's like the realm of science fiction, even the blackhole where we have captured the photos of. Unbelievable.
@@EvilPauliif black hole had "infinite" gravitation, why would not whole Universe be consumed by it by now ? I mean there is a literal distance at witch black hole influence matter that comes nearby, that distance is bigger the more massive is hole,thus its gravitation force is finite and should be mesurable right ?
This is one of the most kurzgesagt videos ever Somehow, I find the fact that a black hole can just evaporate without leaving a trace stranger than the whole "singularity breaks reality" thing
I mean, black holes are going to be one if not the last things to ever exist in the entire universe, and if the singularity contains the future itself, if there's nothing more to exist, there is no future at all, so they just evaporate...
Meh, we don't "know" that singularities really exist. In fact, most physicists think that encountering a singularity in calculations means that there is something wrong with the way we calculate. We have never ever encountered a singularity in real life. Only in calculations.
wow i cant believe that just ripping the kind of "shell of the black hole" off will break the very vicinity and fabric of the very physics that hold the universe up.
That is the correct view. There is a singularity according to general relativity but gravity at that point is so strong that maybe the effects of quantum gravity overtake the effects of general relativity. And we know general relativity can't work at the center of a BH because it is based on the fact that you can locally replace every point of the curved spacetime by a flat minkowski spacetime and then use methods of calculus to transfer between these points. But this will not work if the curvature is infinite as you can't create a locally flat Minkowski spacetime at that point.
Wow... black holes are so unfathomably fascinating*, I will never not be perplexed watching your videos on this topic. Educating, amusing, gorgeous to the eye. Outstanding work, Kurzgesagt team
Oh God, this is the frustrating part about physics: wanting to know what would actually happen, right now 😂 Just goes to show how incredibly interesting this is
So the inside of the black hole, are the backrooms?? Meaning the singularity is just a science name for the backrooms. And since the singularity exists in the future... Ohhh!!, so that's why everything in the backrooms knows where you are.
Both; actually. It’s a singularity in which all protons and electrons are basically forcefully merged together making it purely neutrons. In the event that the singularity is disrupted it’d be one hell of nuclear explosion forcing the extra neutrons to violently unfuse back into electrons and protons which at this point is my theory will recreate a sun.(the sun part is my speculation because a sun is essentially a continuous nuclear explosion. Don’t take what I said in that last part as fact.)

The idea that black holes are a dev workaround for a gamebreaking bug for the universe is a very compelling one.

"You know how celestial bodies use that density method depending on their mass and size? Apparently a large enough body overflows and the density is calculated as infinite."
"Oh. Well, I'm sure it's such an insane size that it won't realistically happen in a timeline. Maybe we could work it into a cool end-of-universe thing though."
"Except it can happen in a timeline. And it has in tests. And the moment it happens everything collapses because density is infinite and thus gravity is infinite."
"The universe is supposed to come out in two days! Just change the formula!"
"We've tried. I'm sorry, but changing it breaks everything else that relies on it."
"Well I don't know! Just hide it or something. We can do bugfixes and stuff after release, but it has to be at least playable."

Learning that a Black Hole's center is "in the future" kind of broke my mind for several minutes. ALso: This animation just keeps getting better and better!
It's because of the relativistic effects of gravity. It's not in the future "per se", but you would experience the death of the universe if you were falling towards one
@@accountnamewithheld At the point where we talk about time in things like this, the definition of time that we use everyday becomes meaningless. Past, present and future happen at the same time. It's the same with space. You're everywhere and everywhen and that all at once.
you don't actually go in the future, time just freezes for you.
Technically, everywhere you want to go is as much in the future as it is in front of you.
@@accountnamewithheld I was wondering this, too. Its gravitational pull would be so massive, everything around it will look like it's going extremely fast. But how does that make singularity lie in the future? Shouldn't it be in the past? We from the outside move on, might even die, before the singularity is reached.
It's interesting to note that singularities don't break actual physics, more like they break the model we use at the moment to understand physics. This is important, because it means that singularities can and do make sense, the problem is we don't have the right model to understand them yet.
Couldn’t the answer instead be that within the event horizon, there is something other than a singularity? E.g. iirc one idea assuming string theory is that the interior of a black hole is like, a big jumble of the “strings” , which end up (I guess due to having so much energy) having size comparable to the size of the black hole, instead of being of a subatomic size?
Its sooo interesting
Physics is not a thing, but our model(s) of nature. So kurzgesagt is right. A singularity breaks our models but it does not "break nature".
This.
My biggest petpeeve with popscience videos is the "break reality" trope. No, it doesn't break reality, it is part of reality. It can break OUR understanding (our science) of reality, but to the natural world itself that's just tuesday.
Would love to see what would happen to sombody if they gazed at a bare singularly
As an astrophysicist, I'm extremely impressed with how Kurzgesagt was able to put this into understandable or simplified terms. Studying the capacity of black holes has always boggled my mind no matter the depths I go into the physics we have now.
Honestly, I'm surprised they never threw in white holes, whether for the anti-blackhole (if a white hole isn't the anti-particle of a black hole, then nothing is), or as a comment on the "anything can come out" aspect of a naked singularity.
They even mentioned Hawking radiation, and that might _be_ the real-world manifestation of a white hole, and still no mention of white holes.
White hole isn't an anti-black hole. Also they are sort of complete nonsense that can't exist in our Universe. But just for the fun of it, I'm also curious.
@@absalomdraconisantimatter is the opposite of matter only in charge.. same spin.. same masse..
And white wholes are opposite in mass..
Its technically negative mass..
But colliding them together would be impossible i think.. because of how positive and negative mass behave together.. plus they still dont have that much of science behind white wholes
Hi
@@ibrahimbenhmida3852It's definitely not negative mass. And, there is no such thing as negative mass. If white holes do exist, they would be composed of mass, not negative mass.
I love how it starts out funny with the silly idea of nuking a black hole then gets unsettling when talking about the effects of a singularity with no event horizon.
I feel like this video failed to cover two important notes about those singularities though: one being that infinite mass is impossible and its effects would have to wane at some distance, and second that it is not unlikely that it just forms a new event horizon around its tiny self immediately after the previous one dissipates
I love wars
The concept of a naked singularity is just incredible to me. It's a concept reminiscent of cosmic horror stories, as it is something so unfathomably powerful, indescribable, inconceivable and incomprehensible that simple observation of it could potentially cause reality itself to break in ways we couldn't even begin to imagine. And yet, this is a scientific hypothesis, not a horror story. The idea of something like that potentially being possible sends shivers down my spine. While I'd honestly be shocked if naked singularities were actually physically possible in our universe, the concept has an appeal nothing else can really quite match.
Fr, imagine something so unspeakably horrible, dangerous, or just plain weird that the nature of the universe throws all the stops at you possible to prevent it from being unleashed
It reminds me of photons. Observing it changes reality
My brain immediately went "wait..... isn't that an infinite improbability generator?"
The real horror comes from the concept of something and nothing and its far reaching implications. Either something came from nothing, which should be impossible. Or something always existed. Either way the full picture of reality is far beyond our current experience.
Sorry to be a buzzkill, but in this video they kinda forget what a singularity is to begin with: a kind of divide by zero error. It's just a hole in the mathematics we use to describe gravity. Singularities aren't physical. You can't have a naked singularity because they don't exist.
If we have a theory of quantum gravity, that might explain what would happen if we push a black hole past its breaking point (if there even is such a thing). There is no such thing as breaking reality however.
I love how Kurzgesagt's first reaction to any information is to "nuke it"

Just a quick note. Singularity as a point is only for static (non-rotating) black holes. If the blackhole rotates, its singularity has a shape of a ring (ringularity). Another interesting point is that a rotating black hole has two event horizons. The funny fact is that in between the horizons, you don't have to necessarily travel towards the singularity although you can't escape from there. You could live happily there for years but if you crossed the second horizon you have to reach the singularity.
replying for visibility- very cool stuff
a ringshaped singularity actually makes me wonder: what happens if you are in the exact centre of that "ringularity"?
Because, like Kurzgesagt also explained, the singularity would be your future. But if you are in the exact centre of this ring, every direction points toward the future.
I believe Kurzgesagt has already done a video touching on this - the "Black Hole Bomb" video...
@@baraapudding In theory, you should be able to safely pass through the middle and some think it should serve as a wormhole that spits you out into another universe from a white-hole. But I don't believe such a claims :D
@@baraapuddingas far as i understand, as long as you're past the event horizon every direction you can go will only ever lead you towards the singularity (which is the reason nothing can escape the event horizon). So i don't think it would matter if you were in the "hole" of a ringularity or somewhere else inside of the black hole. I'm not a physicist so i can't tell you for sure but i think that's how it works
I submitted the question on if there is anyway to destroy a black whole to Startalk. It actually was selected but the answer was pretty short and no theorizing as to what would happen with certain strategies. So this is nice to see :)

The idea that there are literal points in our universe where space and time do not exist is extremely fascinating.
And are also most likely false, like all paradoxes are
Theoretically
well, probably not literal, it's just our theory breaks at that point so we replace the "??????" at the centre of a blackhole with the logical prediction of our theory, a singularity. but that means the theory is probably wrong, or more likely, incomplete
Yes, it's hard to fathom such a state. Even calling it a state is a misrepresentation. My mind struggles to grasp the singularity, but to no avail.
Are we sure those counts as being "in", or "part of" the universe? They sound like what was before the big bang, not part of the universe by definition.
I listened to a podcast recently that posited the idea that prehistoric black holes, that were formed shortly after the Big Bang, may have shrunk down to the planck scale and are stuck at that size; too small to interact with anything or disappear completely. If there are enough of these tiny black holes floating around, they could be a candidate for dark matter. Collectively they have a bunch of mass, but are individually too small to interact with matter.
The dead pixels of the universe.
I feel like we must've listened to the same podcast. Was it the recent Radiolab episode about the Tunguska event?
they would have had to be pretty small to begin with wouldn't they, since it takes so stupidly long for one to evaporate away even a little

Because the event horizon is the thing decaying to hawking radiation, not the singularity.

@@jb76489not a physicist but from what I know the Hawking Radiation is what happens when a particle and antiparticle are created out of nothing. Normally they cancel eachother out and nothing happens.

That would mean that at some point the singularity would be visible and maybe explode bc there is not enough gravity to compress itself, right?
@@plantarum3276 Not a physicist, but as I understand it, it would simply evaporate in a burst of energy
@plantarum3276
Any mass can have an event horizon. It just gets smaller if your mass shrinks. However, there appears to be a lower limit that arises from quantum physics. Once that has been reached the black hole emits a photon whose energy corresponds to its remaining mass and it is gone. Sadly this is not very interesting, but that is probably the way all matter in the universe will ultimately go. At that time we will have reached the heat death of the universe.

I heavily suspect there’s some weird physics rule we haven’t discovered yet that makes naked singularities impossible, like a process that makes it so that you can get rid of the event horizon, but it takes as long as it takes for the black hole to evaporate on its own to get rid of it, so you never get to the naked singularity.
It's just as likely that there is no such thing as a singularity to begin with. The concept of a singularity occurs because our math breaks past the event horizon. However discovering new math could change that.
It's potentially similar to how there was a singularity past Mach 1 originally when calculating air resistance on planes. Then we actually went faster than Mach 1, learned the singularity was the result of a flawed model, and had to redo all the equations for calculating air resistance because it turns out air behaves differently than our equations predicted once you reach the speed of sound.
The Event Horizon is a region of extremely distorted space time, not a literal boundary. Hence the difficulty in defining it. It would be impossible to “break” or “remove” it in any way.
@@Da0yster we had bullets before planes, and they go supersonic. It was thus very likely to be known to be possible, just impossible to calculate.
its like how if you try to separate 2 quarks the energy used to pull them apart will spawn a new one
Or it's the start of the Big Bang as we understand it since Time becomes wonky / didn't exist where the explosion happened while the Infinite Density of whatever exploded created our set of physics. We may find something that counters that view of the Big Bang but at this point it seems the most likely.
There was a PBS Space Time video where Matt explained how black holes might not be able to fully evaporate. Something about Planck scale shenanigans suggests a (really small) lower size limit, making them a possible candidate for dark matter.
It's like a hydra, the more we know about them, the more we DON'T know about them.
You can apply the last line to most things in general, apart from just physics I mean.
Knowing what we know about quantum physics suggests that "true" singularities (i.e. matter compressed to a mathematical point of infinite density) can't really exist - any "real life" singularity SHOULD have a finite (if really small) size and finite (if really high) density just from the uncertainty principle. The problem is we can't do any better than this because we don't have the necessary theories of quantum gravity to explain what happens during the black hole collapse yet. (And that doesn't even get into the "fuzzball" possibility from string theory...)
Imagine being the physicist in charge of an event horizon breaking experiment. Real Oppenheimer moment right there.
If you had the power to create a black hole with the mass of the moon, you'd have the power to annihilate a continent.

Science and rules of physics in our universe have been created by Allah (SWT) and its mentioned multiple times for as many topics, such for this, our Prophet (saas) have indeed reached the boundaries (end of space-time) read by:

Sûrat An- Najm
( The Star ) LIII, Chapter: 53
1. By the star when it decends
2. Your companion ( Muhammad) has neither gone astray nor has erred.
3. Nor does he speak of ( his own ) desire.
4. It is only a Revelation revealed.
5. He has been taught ( this Qur’ân ) by one mighty in power [ Jibrîl ( Gabriel ) ]
6. One free from any defect in body and mind then he ( Jibrîl - Gabriel in his real shape as created by Allah ) rose and became stable.
7. While he [ Jibrîl ( Gabriel ) ] was in the highest part of the horizon, ( Tafsir Ibn Kathir )
8. Then he [ Jibrîl ( Gabriel ) ] approached and came closer,
9. And was at a distance of two bows’ length or ( even ) nearer.
10. So ( Allâh ) revealed to His slave [ Muhammad through Jibrîl ( Gabriel ) ( as ) ] whatever He revealed.
11. The ( Prophet’s ) heart lied not in what he ( Muhammad ) saw.
12. Will you then dispute with him ( Muhammad ) about what he saw [ during the Mi‘râj: ( Ascent of the Prophet to the seven heavens ) ] [ 1 ]
13. And indeed he ( Muhammad ) saw him [ Jibrîl ( Gabriel ) ] at a second descent ( i.e. another time ) .
14. Near Sidrat- ul- Muntaha ( a lote- tree of the utmost boundary over the seventh heaven beyond which none can pass ) .
15. Near it is the Paradise of Abode.
16. When that covered the lote- tree which did cover it! [ 2 ]
17. The sight ( of Prophet Muhammad ) turned not aside ( right or left ) , nor it transgressed beyond the limit ( ordained for it ) .
18. Indeed he ( Muhammad ( saas ) ) did see of the Greatest Signs, of his Lord ( Allâh ).
Also:
Sûrat Al Ma'arij.

2. Upon the disbelievers, which none can avert,

If falling into a black hole accelerates you into the future, and black holes evaporate in a finite amount of time, doesn't that mean nothing can ever reach a singularity?
I see it like this, when you fall on the event horizon, you become part of and are rapidly going to a future in which the black hole becomes so small it disappears, but you are still part of it
Basically, the black hole is also falling into the singularity, and the moment it dissolves is the moment all of the object inside the black hole hit the singularity
You can reach it time is just distorted. What we see is anything that isn't light go to the center and vanish because your matter is crushed in the atomic level down to every atom and become a part of the mass of the black hole enhancing its gravitational pull and mass that's all compressed.
What do you mean "the black hole is falling into the singularity?"
@@GIRGHGH it's not exactly how it works but it can help you understand
With time, the black hole gets smaller and smaller until it disappears
With time, you will fall into the singularity in the future
What stops the moment you touch the singularity to be the moment the black hole disappears
You both touch the singularity at the same time
The black hole gets infinitely smaller (a singularity)
You get squished into a singularity
Think of it like a prison that is VERY slowly getting smaller and you are sentenced to death by being squished, the walls won't kill you, only in the future when there is no more space left for you, when you die and the wall touch each other, there is nothing inside the walls, so it is no longer a prison
@@GIRGHGH A black hole is compression of spacetime brought to its logical conclusion. As gravity is spacetime compression and the singularity is infinite curvature, spacetime flows into the singularity; the event horizon is simply the point where the speed of this flow is faster than the speed of light.
Hawking radiation also manages to rob energy/mass from the black hole at cosmological timescales if it isn't fed, so it constantly contracts until it draws in more matter or energy (including cosmic microwave background radiation). And it will continue to contract at an ever-accelerating pace (from grass growing to snail's pace) until the final moments of evaporation are like a supernova. It'll just take a googol years to reach that point.

I wanted to add,
The nature of a "singularity" is a mathematical one. Sort of when you divide a number by zero, basically you break our arithmetics and the result can be whatever you like.
The "event horizon" is the last region of Space around the Black Hole where our mathematics still apply. Beyond the event horizon, while our maths doesn't work, phylosophy still does. I see how you wonderfully expanded the concept with this video. Thanks!
Anthony
you hit on a key point here. it's just math. not any real thing that we have evidence of. black holes are just like dividing by zero. you can talk about it as a concept, but it's essentially meaningless. it has no basis in reality.
@@quickmythril2398 Except, we know black holes exist.
@@piotrd.4850 we know that they exist, but as far as I understand, anything inside of the event horizon doesn't exist, at least in the sense that anything inside of the event horizon no longer follows any of the rules that we use to define "existing"

We can describe infinites, limits and black holes for that matter pretty well with our math. Just not with a high school math lol

I often think that black holes are like bugs in a game, something broke, some paradox, star got too much mass it collapsed into a black hole, it mesmerizes me that such things exist. Universe is quite magical
Black holes be patching up stars for us 🗿
Perhaps we are living in a simulation and when massive objects collapse in on themselves, because the density becomes so huge, some floating-point error occurs during the computation which returns an infinite density (thus creating the singularity) and creates a black hole 🤔
@@maxave7448 That's not what a floating point error is. Floating point error is when there is a lack of adequate precision which leads to errors when performing math.
If you want an example, take out your smartphone, open the calculator, divide 1 by 2, then divide the result by 2, and repeat over and over until you get some very tiny number that can only be displayed in scientific notation. Then start multiplying by 2 over and over until you get back to 1. You will find that you won't get 1, but actually a number like 1.0000269312. That's floating point error, the small numbers could not be represented with enough precision and then when you try to reverse the process you end up with the wrong result.
What bothers me about videos like this is that they fail to acknowledge the fact that we just don't know so much about how the universe works. The laws of physics don't "break down" inside a black hole, it's just that physics as we understand it doesn't work under certain conditions, but it works under most normal conditions. Our understanding of the laws of physics are incomplete, they're wrong. The way we think the universe works doesn't work inside a singularity, so we say it 'breaks the rules', when in reality, we just don't know all the rules.
If nothing escapes a blackhole, than how do the particles it emits escape??
The line that really got me in the gut was "...the singularity is not in front of you; it's in your future."
If that ain't cosmic horror at its finest.
Ikr. And if time is flowing backwards... Wouldnt that future to us be perceived as being in the past to an observer inside the black hole? Hense the singularity that gave birth to the big bang. Then lets continue to assume that to expand is just a property of space in and of itself, then the part of space that was originally contained withen the newly formed singularity, a single planc length of space is all you need to seed an ever expanding universe. It would just continue expanding forever in all directions outwards from an event in the "past" like we observe space to do.
WOAH. Hold up.
I now get why the big bang isnt at the centre of the universe. Its a point in time not a point in space. Holy fuck I cant believe I never fully wrapped my head around that. Classical thinking seems to feel as though space "should" emenate "outwards" from the big bang, but from our perspective as we look into space its like space comes rushing in from all directions following an event in the past that we cant see because of the cosmic event horizon. We would have to go faster then light and therefore back in time. We cant see the singularity here either because its just like the black hole. It exists as a moment before space and time. If you can even call that a "moment." That makes the brain spin to try and imagine haha.
You get what Im laying down here? I never even noticed the incompletness in the brains ability to grasp Space-time. And what it has to do with our cosmic event horizon being like a bubble around us despite the fact space has no centre to it. Should place us at the center as we observe outwards no? That right there is a hint that were not picturing space correctly. Like does that mean the big bang happened EVERYWHERE?!? No. EVERYWHEN! Wait.... See what I mean!? WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE AND WHY CAN MY BRIAN KIND OF CONTEMPLATE THAT. DOES PART OF WHATEVER "I" AM EXIST OUTSIDE OF SPACETIME? WE HAVE TOO MANNNN. AND THAT WOULD THEN GIVE RISE TO CONCIOUSNESS FOLLOWING MY ACID THEORY OF LIFE 😂 Its all connected hahaha.
There was no time before the big bang, there was also no space!! The big bang THAT MADE SPACETIME, HOLD UP. took place OUTSIDE OF SPACETIME. IT HAD TO OF. IT HAPPENED RIGHT AT THE INSTANCE BEFORE SPACE AND TIME CAUSE IT CREATED SPACE AND TIME THATS WHY WE CAN NEVER SEE IT NO MATTER HOW FAR BACK WE LOOK.
In order for time to exist the fastest speed at which information can travel is light speed. But light speed is actually defined as the distance at which light travels in a vacuum. "Distance" implies space. You cant have distance between things without space between them. Therefore you cant have time and causality without space. Hense. Space-time. Lol. So without there being a spacetime for the big bang to occur in. It can not occur in any specific location. Theres no location to have housed it in 😂 Time is a property of space. its literally just space. Its ALL space. Space is a mind bending concept. Spacetime is where the universe happens. Its all fuckn Space-time bro, I. I cant even right now 🤯😂💀

It's so funny and fascinating watching a science channel actively make physics-breaking hypothesies like this.
Infinite density does not make sense, if it really was infinite then the gravitational pull it exerts on the universe would be infinite, and so the whole universe would be going at the speed of light towards the singularity
Plus, how a single point with 0 volume even make sense? The pauli exclusion principle forbids fermions (e.g. electrons) from occupying the same state. That means no 2 electrons can be in the same place, therefore 0 volume is impossible as that would mean 2 particles occupying the same space.

For a rotating black hole, its singularity is shaped like a ring. When you spin it too fast, its singularity grows out of its own event horizon - which is why it's deemed impossible (there's also a lot of complicated math about it). These black holes also have 2 different event horizons, one time-like and one space-like. All natural black holes are thought to be rotating, with the "standard" non-rotating black holes being purely theoretical. The inverse is true for charged black holes, those are only thought to exist in theory since natural black holes neutralize their own charge by attracting more of opposite charge matter.
a ringshaped singularity actually makes me wonder: what happens if you are in the exact centre of that "ringularity"?
Because, like Kurzgesagt also explained, the singularity would be your future. But if you are in the exact centre of this ring, every direction points toward the future.
I'm curious why charged black holes are thought to only exist in theory - surely there are regions of space where, by chance, the amounts of particles with one charge vastly outnumber those of another charge?

I literally got goosebumps when the whole orchestra music starts playing when they are talking about the singularity. Amazing. It's crazy to think such absurdity as the singularity exists in our physical universe, almost as if its sci-fi.
to be fair, it is currently sci-fi. Kurzgesagt was not completely accurate here, forgetting to mention that singularities are only a mathematical object, one of the main issues of general relativity theory. In the history of physics, there's a famous occurence of a theory predicting infinite value, this is called the ultraviolet catastrophe. Quantum physics came and fix it all up. General relativity might suffer some issues as well, and physicists are trying for a few decades to create a solid theory of quantum gravity to fix the issues with general relativity, but with no sucess for now. Maybe singularities are a thing, but infinite values are pretty stupid, and most likely, it's an issue with the theory.
@@totolamenace it is crazy to me that any object when compressed down enough into a blackhole will have a singularity of "infinite density, infinite mass, infinite gravity". We will probably never know if this is true or not. Or maybe quantum gravity will fix it. Because if this is true, that means an object of any mass will eventually become the same density of infinity. Or maybe I'm wrong on this because in maths, they prove that the number of real number is larger than the number of integers. Idk, but its crazy for me to think.
@@CellRus Definitely not 'infinite mass' but infinite gravity/density. Yeah and it is also up for debate because the only reason we think that is because we haven't discovered any forces in the uiverse that could potentially counteract the insane gravity , BUT that does not mean that there ARE NONE. Maybe there are some unknown yet undiscovered forces at play that we don't yet know about because they exsist at a scale we are currently unable to measure, preventing the collapse to infinity ;/.
I mean the fact that they MOVE is a dead giveaway , don't you agree ? Infinite gravity implies 0 TIME ticks at the object. So how can an object move , or spin, or have a charge ?
@@EvilPauli yeah for sure, a new fundamental force, there are just so much we don't know. To me, it's mindblowing, like an object like a blackhole, with an infinite density singularity that warp space time so much yet can move from place to place.

@@ceu160193 are you certain about that information?
That is the correct view. There is a singularity according to general relativity but gravity at that point is so strong that maybe the effects of quantum gravity overtake the effects of general relativity. And we know general relativity can't work at the center of a BH because it is based on the fact that you can locally replace every point of the curved spacetime by a flat minkowski spacetime and then use methods of calculus to transfer between these points. But this will not work if the curvature is infinite as you can't create a locally flat Minkowski spacetime at that point.
Wow... black holes are so unfathomably fascinating*, I will never not be perplexed watching your videos on this topic. Educating, amusing, gorgeous to the eye. Outstanding work, Kurzgesagt team
can enough nukes blow up the black hole?
Nope they're a bottomless pit
Me: *calls joe biden*
Joe Biden: *throws infinite nukes at every black hole*
That's why these videos keep getting made, because you'll just eat it up.
Oh God, this is the frustrating part about physics: wanting to know what would actually happen, right now 😂
Just goes to show how incredibly interesting this is
just accept that it's unknown and be happy with that simple🤣
Creation right?
@@SaraMorgan-ym6ueyou are ded person already , if you have this level of curiosity ;)

I think when many black holes combine and when they reach a limit, they explode like big bang
7:27 Probably even the pens and pencils that seemingly evaporate out of existence when they fall from the desk
Lol
So the inside of the black hole, are the backrooms??
Meaning the singularity is just a science name for the backrooms.
And since the singularity exists in the future...
Ohhh!!, so that's why everything in the backrooms knows where you are.
@@thetangaledbug7670 LOL scientifically accurate backrooms don't exist, they can't hurt you
Your comment:
So that's where they went?
@@Nintendo-Switchblade likely
Black holes basically turn everything into that data that takes up 60% of your computer's storage but your computer doesn't tell you what it is.
YESSSSSS😂
then we gotta figure out the universes equivalent to WinDirStat, that shows you what it is lol
@@eternorii Every single PC owner needs to install WinDirStat. It lifts the veil, scrubs naked the singularity and forces it to define itself.
@@eternoriiTreeSize is also a great tool for that
wiztree
Is 10:51 how they form if so that’s the best visualization I’ve ever seen for this.
Is a black hole an infinite prison of a singularity, or is a black hole a protective shell that's just holding the singularity in place?
Both; actually. It’s a singularity in which all protons and electrons are basically forcefully merged together making it purely neutrons. In the event that the singularity is disrupted it’d be one hell of nuclear explosion forcing the extra neutrons to violently unfuse back into electrons and protons which at this point is my theory will recreate a sun.(the sun part is my speculation because a sun is essentially a continuous nuclear explosion. Don’t take what I said in that last part as fact.)
"Is black hole infinite because of it's singularity? Or is black hole singular because of it's infinity?"
"Nah i'd win."
