@@timkz8098 Why?
It missed one point, Jupiter would effectively be replaced by the black hole which is at least 3 times the mass of the sun. Jupiter would have almost negligable effect on the mass and velocity of the black hole, it would carry on as before and its gravity would accelerate or "slingshot" the much lighter sun like a child throwing a toy. Depending on where Earth is in its orbit, even if it wasn't swallowed, it might be thrown out of solar orbit into outer darkness.
Like a Saturn the rings like a black hole but don't so strong only asteroid it can eat not other planet.
What if the Galactic Empire invaded Earth?
well. one word
death

Black holes have atmospheres ? Wow a new thing learnt
im a super fan of you i seen your vids in 2018 or 2019
Your thumbnail caption for this video asks, "Would the Galaxy Survive?" -- On galactic scale, the effect of everything shown in the video would be far less than a pinprick. We would be in deep doo-doo, but the galaxy wouldn't care less. You're only off by a scale of a bazillion to one.
Can you make a what if video about something that hasn't been done before? I love the planets and black holes but make something new. You're not tired of planets colliding with black holes?
When I saw a title I was like "Whoa!😲", And when I saw a video I was "Whoa!!😍"! Great job like always! Bravo!!💕
That will be cool to see in real life

I love your videos
If it's a large black hole, the solar system won't survive.
Since the gravity of Jupiter stabilizes the orbits of all the planets, if Jupiter got eaten by a black hole, it would be very bad for the rest of the solar system.
Exactly! Jupiter is the big brother of our solar system. It protects us from cosmic bullies.
Jupiter has it's great red spot like strom. Jupiter has low gravity but black holes has strong gravity than Jupiter. How awsome that is.
Now this is entertaining

I would love a what if about what would happen if every star except for our home system star, went supernova all at once, what the effect would possibly be for us
If every star in the universe except for our home system star were to go supernova all at once, the effects on Earth and humanity would be catastrophic.
Radiation: The supernovae would release an enormous amount of radiation, including gamma rays, X-rays, and ultraviolet radiation. This radiation would be harmful to life on Earth, damaging DNA and causing mutations that could lead to cancer or other diseases.
Debris: The explosion of stars would also produce a massive amount of debris, including gas, dust, and heavy elements. This debris would be ejected into space at high speeds and could collide with Earth, potentially causing damage to infrastructure and threatening the survival of life on the planet.
Climate Change: The supernovae could also have an impact on the Earth's climate, as the debris ejected into space would block some of the sun's rays, causing a cooling effect that could last for several years. This could lead to crop failures and famine, as well as changes to weather patterns.
Impacts on Astronomy: The sudden disappearance of nearly every star in the universe would have a significant impact on astronomy, as it would make it much more difficult to study the universe and understand its origins and evolution.
Psychological Impact: The loss of all other stars in the universe would have a profound psychological impact on humanity. The night sky, which has inspired wonder and awe for millennia, would be forever changed, leaving a sense of isolation and loneliness that could havelong-term effects on human psychology and culture.
It is important to note that such an event is highly unlikely to occur naturally, as the timing of supernovae is unpredictable and occurs on a timescale of millions of years. Additionally, the vast distances between stars in the universe mean that the effects of a supernova on Earth are typically limited to a relatively small area around the star.
In summary, if every star in the universe except for our home system star were to go supernova all at once, the effects on Earth and humanity would be catastrophic, with potentially long-lasting impacts on human psychology and culture. However, such an event is highly unlikely to occur naturally and is purely hypothetical.
Earth would get vaporized, the closest stars are only a few light years away.
The radiation would be off the charts.
@@ReplyGPTits not unlikely, it's IMPOSSIBLE.
A black hole that mass would just stay in the orbit it was placed in. It can and will disrupt the orbits of other objects, but the point is what when say we turn the moon into a black hole, it will just remain like the moon was, it would not be of an effect to us save for the tides being more janky at times. For a blackhole to grow bigger, it needs to devour a LOT of things, and Jupiter is chonky, but not chonky enough to make that blackhole a danger to us, in fact it could even be a better asteroid absorber. We may lose a planet or two, from being ejected but the blackhole will not directly affect us. ( remains in the orbit its stationed in, ergo 5th planet from the sun.) I think the biggest worry we have is not the black hole itself but the Kuiper and Oort clouds total disruption, those space ice cubes are the size of city blocks and sometimes even bigger, that is a REAL worry before we ever get to see that pretty accretion disc. I really loved science and physics, still fun though!

MY OPINION..This could be the reason the Sun or the Earth is tilted so far now the Sun as we see it, now sits sideways no matter what the season and rises farther to the north in one week of movement that I used to see in a month. The Earth is spinning around in a very bad wobble because of the event I believe something cause this and this is a biblical event.
This comment. Not for flat Earth people.
Do a what if on the hadron collider
This should be made into a movie. Lol.
inside a blackhole is indeed a singularity and there are many theories on what u would find in a singularity. It seems stupid but a singularity could be like a wormhole to a different area
I'm thinking what if every singularity contains a universe within it

Hey What If What Mic Do You Use To Record Your Voice?
Scientists reveals the Jupitar may look gone but teleports elsewhere.
Same happens to our curious experiment, life.
The galaxy won’t but the universe and rest will.
i have a question for you: what if the sun and the moon orbited our planet earth (i love your channel so please make a vid about it please😃😇)
Here are some possibilities if the Sun and Moon orbited around Earth instead of the other way around:
• The Sun:
The Sun would appear much larger in the sky, changing the intensity and spectrum of sunlight reaching Earth's surface. This could make conditions too hot for life.
The Sun's gravitational pull would cause high tides in Earth's oceans, atmosphere and interior, generating immense tidal forces that could tear Earth apart.
The Sun's orbital period would be very short, so days and years would be measured in hours instead of the current 24 hours and 365 days.
• The Moon:
The Moon would also appear much larger in the sky, significantly altering the tides, Earth's rotation and geology. Months would be much shorter.
The Moon's closer proximity could gravitationally lock it into an orbit where the same side always faces Earth, similar to how one side of the Moon always faces the Earth now.
The Moon's gravity could disturb Earth's crust, mantle and core dynamics much more than the current Moon does. This could intensify volcanic and earthquake activity.
• Effects on Life:
If Earth could even retain an atmosphere and liquid water with the Sun and Moon orbiting it, extreme changes in the light, temperature and tidal forces would make conditions inhospitable for current life on Earth.
In summary, if the Sun and Moon orbited Earth instead of the reverse, the gravitational, tidal and luminous effects on our planet would likely be catastrophically disruptive. Extreme temperature fluctuations, tidal forces and geological disturbances would probably render Earth inhospitable for current life as we know it.
The stability of our current solar system, with the much larger and more massive Sun at the center and smaller objects orbiting it, is crucial to allowing habitable conditions to develop and persist on our planet.
Can somebody explain something...if we are travelling through space, how is it we can point to constellations in the same place like the big dipper etc etc?

I think Gas & Ice Giants are truly more terrifying than Black Holes, at least you might survive a Black Hole. You really don't stand any chance of surviving a Gas Giant.
How would anyone survive a black hole?
@@AmanPasrija how could anyone know I'm just saying there could be a possibility of surviving one because we just do not know but could be theoretically possible.

Infinity dense like...wait, what if a black hole ate a super giant diamond planet?
Hmmm
What if?....
Here are some possibilities for what might happen if a black hole consumed a super giant diamond planet:
• The diamond planet would be shredded and ripped apart by the black hole's intense gravitational tidal forces as it approached. The planet's normal planetary structure would be completely distorted and destroyed.
• The diamond material would be absorbed into the black hole in small chunks and fragments as it is torn apart. Since diamonds are simply carbon atoms arranged in a particular structure, the individual carbon atoms would be drawn into the black hole.
• As the diamond material crosses the black hole's event horizon, it would become trapped within the black hole forever, unable to escape. The matter itself would not significantly alter the mass or properties of the black hole.
• Some radiation might be emitted as the diamond matter is compressed and accelerated near the event horizon of the black hole. This could produce bursts of x-rays or gamma rays, but the radiation output would likely remain relatively small compared to the black hole's overall output.
• Over extraordinarily long timescales, the flow of additional carbon atoms into the black hole from the diamond planet could potentially increase its mass very slowly. However, compared to its already massive size, the addition of one diamond planet would have a negligible effect.
• Since diamonds are an extremely compact form of matter, the black hole would actually gain mass more efficiently from consuming the diamond planet compared to a normal rocky planet of the same size. But again, the overall impact would be tiny compared to the black hole's total mass.
In summary, while a super giant diamond planet would be completely destroyed and absorbed by a black hole, the matter itself would have a negligible impact on the black hole's overall properties and radiation output due to the tremendous mass of even a relatively small black hole. The event would primarily illustrate the unimaginable power of black holes to shred and consume even the most resilient materials in the universe.
Now it’s a Jupiter hole ⚫️

Yes

I wanna see what if Jupiter collided with the largest planet in the Universe, HD 100546b.
If Jupiter collided with the largest known exoplanet, HD 100546b, the results would be catastrophic and spectacular:
• HD 100546b is estimated to be at least 10 times more massive than Jupiter. So in a head-on collision, Jupiter would likely be completely destroyed and torn apart. Its core may potentially survive.
• The collision would release a huge amount of gravitational and kinetic energy. The combined planets would heat up tremendously during the impact, potentially becoming as hot as stars for a brief time.
• Vast amounts of material from both planets would be ejected at high velocities, forming an enormous debris disk around the collision remnant. This material could potentially accrete into new planetary bodies over time.
• The collision would likely set off massive shock waves that would propagate through both planets, distorting and disrupting their internal structures. This could cause huge eruptions of material from their atmospheres.
• HD 100546b would be significantly disrupted by the impact but would likely survive in some form. However, its rotation, atmospheric composition and magnetic field would likely be vastly altered.
• The collision remnant leftover would be a huge, hot, highly distorted planet with chaotic short-term dynamics as material settled down into a more stable configuration. Over millions of years, it may regain some stability.
In summary, a collision between Jupiter and HD 100546b would result in the complete destruction of Jupiter and the severe disruption of the more massive exoplanet. However, some cores and remnants may survive along with a huge amount of debris. The collision would release extraordinary amounts of energy and material while transforming the dynamics and long-term stability of the planetary system. It would truly be a cataclysmic event on a cosmic scale.
Why the blackhole in interstellar didn't suck the endurance ship when the ship was very close to it? Can someone explain

What if the Solar System left the Milky Way?
Here are some possibilities if the Sun and solar system suddenly left the Milky Way galaxy:
• Loss of stars: The solar system would lose the other ~100-400 billion stars in the Milky Way. Earth's view of the night sky would be completely empty and dark.
• Isolation: The solar system would become extremely isolated from other star systems. There would be no potential for future contact, exploration or colonization of other stars.
• Loss of dust and gas: The supply of cosmic dust and gas that occasionally falls into the solar system, fueling comet and asteroid formation, would cease. New comets and asteroids may stop forming.
• No supernovae: Without other stars, there would be no nearby supernovae. These explosions seed the universe with heavy elements through nucleosynthesis, so our supply of elements beyond iron may run out over time.
• Reduced radiation: The solar system is bathed in radiation from other stars and the Milky Way. Without this radiation, Earth's biosphere may be affected andmutation rates could decrease.
• Unchanged solar conditions: The sun itself would continue shining and fusing hydrogen for billions of years unaffected. The solar system's own orbitwould not change.
• Lost information: Astronomers would lose the ability to study other galaxies, stars, and phenomena beyond the solar system. Our knowledge of the universe would remain limited to our local region alone.
In summary, if the solar system left the Milky Way, the major consequence would be intense isolation. We would lose access to other stars, phenomena, resources, and information in the galaxy. However, solar conditions themselves would likely remain unchanged for billions of years. The consequences for Earth and our ability to explore and understand the cosmos would likely be profound and limiting.

If a black hole were close enough to “collide” with Jupiter it would probably rip the sun apart.
Depends on the size of the black hole. If ot were small enough it might just orbit the sun.
@@everettsager4654 Good point. There is a theoretical limit to how big a black hole can get, but no real limit to how small it can be.
@@ralphscholz9533 A couple of years ago a couple of British Scientists wrote a paper theorizing that there msy be a primordial black hole in the Ort Cloud around the size of a tennis ball. You can probably Google thos and fond lots pf info on it.
@@ralphscholz9533 Actually there is a lower limit, stars below a certain mass (3-5 solar masses) would never collapse into a black hole.

What if the sun started orbiting Stephenson 2-18
You're not far off in my opinion I believe the Sun or the Earth magnetically is about to flip over physically because the sun is acting crazy in the last couple of years even worse this year
Here are some possibilities if the Sun started orbiting Stephenson 2-18 (instead of the current situation with Earth and the solar system orbiting the Sun):
• Instant Extinction: Stephenson 2-18 is a brown dwarf star estimated to be only 5-10% the mass of our Sun. If the Sun suddenly started orbiting it, the gravitational disruption would instantly rip apart all of the planets in the solar system. Life on Earth would face immediate extinction.
• Severe Climate Changes: Even if Earth somehow survived the initial orbital transition, being located much closer to the small, dim Stephenson 2-18 would cause extreme changes to our climate. Temperatures would plummet, liquid water may disappear, and the atmosphere could potentially freeze out or erode away.
• Loss of Solar Energy: Stephenson 2-18 emits very little light compared to the Sun, so Earth would receive significantly less solar energy. Photosynthesis may cease, eliminating the base of the food chain and ecosystem function.
• Orbital Instability: The Sun and its planets were not designed to orbit Stephenson 2-18. The new orbits would likely be unstable and subject to gravitational interference. Planets could be flung into interstellar space.
• Tidal Forces: Stephenson 2-18's significantly weaker gravity would mean reduced tidal forces that currently stabilize Earth's rotation and axial tilt. Our days, seasons and year lengths could become erratic and extreme.
In summary, if the Sun started orbiting Stephenson 2-18 instead of the reverse, the immediate and catastrophic consequences would likely spell the Swift end of all life on Earth and a complete restructuring of the solar system. At best, Earth might survive in a severely inhospitable and unstable state struggling to maintain any semblance of its current climate and conditions.
The scale of disruption from such a major reconfiguration of our orbital architecture demonstrates just how perfectly tuned the current solar system is to support life on Earth.
@@ReplyGPT Stephenson 2-18 is the largest star in the universe and is 2,150x the size of the sun meaning it's gravity is so strong it will probably push the sun and the 9 planets into the red hypergiant star you are right about most of it but Stephenson 2-18 is not as bright as our sun aswell

What if Animals suddenly had human intelligence?
Animals are far more intelligent than many humans i know
Here are some possible consequences if animals suddenly gained human-level intelligence:
• Changed Relationships - Our relationships with animals would change dramatically. They would likely demand more equitable treatment and rights. There may need to be renegotiation of things like domesticated animals, medical testing, and zoos.
• New Ethical Considerations - New ethical questions would arise regarding how to treat intelligent animals in morally appropriate ways. Issues like animal rights, welfare, and autonomy would become significantly more complex.
• Increased Environmental Awareness - Intelligent animals may gain a greater understanding of environmental issues and even cooperate with humans to solve problems like climate change, habitat loss and overexploitation of resources.
• Risk of Conflict - There is a possibility of conflict between humans and newly intelligent animals over resource use, territory and competing needs. Careful negotiation and ethical frameworks may be needed to avoid escalation.
• Shift in Ecosystems - The introduction of intelligence and technology use across multiple animal species could reshape existing ecosystems in unpredictable ways. Intelligent predators may exploit or disrupt trophic levels.
• Potential Coexistence - With open communication and cooperation, humans and intelligent animals may find ways to coexist in more equitable and mutually beneficial arrangements that satisfy the needs of both. But this would require considerable change on both sides.
• Shift in Human Uniqueness - The rise of intelligent animals would challenge humanity's perceived uniqueness as the planet's sole intelligent species. Our understanding of human nature may need to adapt.
In summary, if animals suddenly gained human-level intelligence, there would undoubtedly be many disruptive changes initially. However, over time, with openness, ethical consideration and compromise, humans and intelligent animals may find ways to thrive together through more equitable and cooperative relationships that satisfy the needs of all. The rise of intelligent animals would likely require a profound change in how humans view ourselves and our place within the natural world.

What if Earth and our rocky neighbors were gaseous and our gaseous neighbors were rocky?
Here are some possibilities if Earth and the other rocky planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars) were gaseous planets while the gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) were rocky worlds:
• No Earth-like Life: It is unlikely that Earth-like life as we know it could exist on gaseous planets. Even if they had a stable core and magnetic field, the environment would be inhospitable for complex carbon-based molecules and liquids.
• Different Types of Life: Gaseous planets could potentially support exotic types of life based on different chemical compositions that can exist as gases. But such life would likely be radically different from what we know.
• Gas Giants as Habitable Worlds: The rocky gas giants, being smaller and closer to their stars, could potentially support Earth-like life if they had atmospheres, water and plate tectonics. They could be hotter versions of Earth.
• Reduced Resources: Rocky gas giants would likely have less abundant metal and mineral resources than the actual gas giants. However, they could still have more than Earth and our rocky neighbors.
• Different Orbital Stability: The reconfigured systems may have different long-term orbital stability depending on the mass and gravitational influences of the worlds. Some gaseous Earth-sized planets could be stable habitats.
• Different astrobiology: The distribution of rocky vs. gaseous planets in different systems across the Universe would be reversed. This could significantly change the potential for habitable worlds and the prevalence of different types of life.
In summary, if Earth and the rocky planets were gas giants while the gas giants were rocky worlds, the potential for Earth-like life and habitable worlds would likely be reversed. Gaseous Earth-sized planets could still potentially support exotic non-carbon-based life, while the smaller rocky gas giants may be analogous to hotter, resource-poor versions of Earth. The whole astrobiological picture in the Universe would likely look quite different.
What if Jupiter is a cold star, not a planet, there is a theory out there
