It’s the most energetic light source in the Universe against a massive gravitational monster. Could this cosmic showdown reverse the flow of time?
Pitting a black hole against a gamma-ray could spell some serious danger for our Universe.
Extremely dense and with a lot of gravity, most black holes are the remnants of massive stars. Compressed to a point called a singularity. At this infinitely small point in the center, conceptions of space and time break down.
Gamma-ray bursts are the strongest and brightest explosions in the Universe. In one second, gamma-ray bursts emit as much energy as the Sun will emit during its entire 10-billion year lifespan.
What if these two powerful phenomena collided?

I love all your videos, your so intelegent, keep up the amazing work buddy😁😁😁😁
What if internet shutdown for one year ? Would life get better in long term ? Would people's act crazy would out the internet for one year ? So big question I have for you WHAT IF, IS. what if you make this video ?
What if titan turn in too earth like moon ?
what if is the worst channel on youtube, my channel is the best
Wow thanks you heard me. Do you remember me in fb I commented this waht if and you replied. Thanks for making it
So in the end, no matter how much BS we've personally faced, we've been incredibly lucky for every second we survived in this universe so far.

hey guys did u know that more people get killed by sharks
than pigs?!! if u liked the fact and want more content like this sub to my channel! btw im a kid
@@THINKPATH no shit
Pretty much. Though that lucks quickly running thin me thinks!.
Sharks kill around one person a year. Cows and farm animals kill 20/30times more than any sea creature.
Congrats on 6 million subscribers! What if a neutron star collided with our sun?
That is an interesting idea. Thank you for sharing it with us!
It might turn into a black hole. If you keep throwing mass into a neutron star it eventually becomes a black hole.
@@BrianSu Actually wed be fucked before we know it. If it is a pulsar then its magnetic field is 100 million by the power of 1quadrillion times the earths gravity that keeps you on the ground. If your speaking magnetars, the most magnetic object in existence your fucked from even further way's and I'm only talking lightyears at the very least. The magnetic field is about the pulsars but by the power of 1 quadrillion a second time. We deleted from the universe on a molecular level. Both magnetars and pulsars are the two types of neutron stars.
If it comes for either a few lightyears from the solar system, the system would be ripped apart.
Still waiting for part two where we are actually told what will happen.
Black hole would swallow it that’s it
😂😂💯THAT PART!!
ikr he just rambled onfor 8 MINUTES TF
i dont give a shit about what it will sound lke
same
I thought I was the only one! How are you not going to discuss what happens in a video about what happens? All he needed to do was go over the effects. Instead we got a thorough explanation on why Grammarly is such a helpful tool.
Every time I think you’ve posted the most insane hypothetical you come up with an even cooler one 🤯. Gamma rays and black holes? Something new to think about but I’m still not over the Spider-Man episode 😭

@@THINKPATH look kid, simply knowing what a shark and a pig are makes this fact blatantly obvious and will impress no one.
its like saying more people die at war than in bumper cart crashes.
compared to this channel your way out of your league, but keep learning and maybe someday (probably in your mid 20's) you will know facts and theories that will impress most.
@@THINKPATH also stop spamming your comments, its annoying and some even consider it to be rude
Blackholes are a majestic and omnious part of universe and their fusion with high energy gamma rays would truly be a spectacle nonetheless scary. An amazing topic delivered with amazing animations and narration not to forget that it was also easy to understand!! Well Done!

What if a grain of sand hit the earth at the speed of light
Nothing interesting would happen
That sounds like a graystillplays video.
It would evaporate in a flash of light when it comes in contact with the atmosphere

Another great video as usual. Congratulations on 6 million subscribers. I've been part of the community for so long and im happy to see you finally hitting 6 million
1 I want to know what happens when gamma rays hit a black hole not what gamma rays do.
2 Light travels faster in a vacuum than in medium
A gamma-ray burst (GRB) is a highly energetic explosion that occurs when a massive star collapses or two neutron stars merge. A GRB would likely have a significant impact if it were to hit a black hole.
One possibility is that the intense energy of the GRB would be absorbed by the black hole, potentially causing it to increase in size. The intense radiation from the GRB could also cause the black hole's event horizon to fluctuate, potentially altering its behavior.
Another possibility is that the GRB could cause the black hole to emit a large amount of energy in the form of jets, which are highly energetic beams of particles that are expelled from the black hole's poles. These jets could potentially cause damage to nearby celestial bodies.
It's important to note that the likelihood of a GRB hitting a black hole is extremely low, as black holes are not common in the vicinity of GRBs and the chances of a coincidence are minimal. Additionally, GRBs are usually observed in distant galaxies, so even if a GRB were to hit a black hole in our galaxy, the effects would not reach us.
It's also important to note that black holes are extremely dense objects with immense gravitational pull, so most of the energy from the GRB would be absorbed, and the effects would be mostly felt in its vicinity.
Long ago I've asked for this. Thanks for bringing this what if.
Thanks for watching!
"You want me to eat WHAT?! I just spit that out! Augh, gross!" - The black hole
We need a What If cable channel I would watch this 24/7 IJS I hope Discovery+ picks this guy up soon I learn alot but also enjoy all of your videos
When "what if" talks about the universe ❤️
I'd imagine it would just feed the black hole incredible amounts of energy which would likely make it go supermassive or maybe even turn into a white hole
The short clips of the people making reactions are pretty relatable
If a gamma ray hit a black hole it would just casually absorb the radiation.
I’m sure this event has happened many times in the last 13.75 billion years.
“Gamma radiation is still in the light spectrum, and thus its speed is in fact not bigger than the speed of light. so as the other answer already said, the black hole would simply absorb the radiation and nothing would happen.” What
Sir, I had a question which was bugging me for a long time. See if nuclear fusion/ fission process is what runs the Sun, why not we could use this same process in rockets? That is this nuclear fusion/fission can be setup in Space rather than Earth. What could go wrong? Can you explain what would go wrong? And if it's successful, then, we could invent light speed. Right? Please tell me about it. Thank you.
Here's what I think:
Nuclear fission/fusion requires BIG factories and apparatus to run properly. Since rocket has to be lightweight as well we don't use it.
Or perhaps the power from the process is so strong that it can detonate the rocket itself?
The nuclei of atoms only fuse under insanely hot and pressurized conditions, which would take a ton of fuel and space to set up in a rocket. As the other reply said, that’s not very efficient in our current rockets. It’s an interesting option if we ever want to attempt space travel on a much larger scale, though.
Just no
That's an Interesting topic
Amazing!!!
What If We Could Generate and Control Cosmic Microwave Background Radiations (CMBR or comic energy)? Could we do literally anything like in comics books? Create life from nothing, warp reality, manipulate time, control the fabric of space (e.g. Dr. Strange film), or even raise the dead? Well that's a story for another...What If?

All you listed is under “almost possible”
This video is a really good one! Keep the good work up, What If! All of your videos are incredibly great! Plus, congrats on 60 lakh subscribers (6 million subscribers)! 😉
You're one of the best, maybe even _the_ best channel on UA-cam! Each and every one of your videos are incredible! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you! Without you, we wouldn’t be here.
@@WhatIfScienceShow Thanks!! I've been watching your videos since 2019 and every time I see that a video of yours comes out, I rush to see it!
I didn’t even know about all of this until you came in, love your vids (insanely scientific)
Garou just did a Gamma Ray Burst and Saitama probably took little to no damage. OPM verse solos DBZ. Idk about Dragon Ball Super though
Omg thank you so much ive always wondered this!!!!
I love watching your videos!
I didn't think the Sun was massive enough to collapse into a black hole.
Nice work!
WOAH! That would be TRULY Fascinating.
1:59
I just skipped a Grammarly ad to watch this
🤣🤣🤣
A million trillion times brighter than the sun ? Terrific !!!!
What if all the planets or planet earth start spinning in an opposite direction? What would happen to us? Will we start going back in time? 🤔
Time has nothing to do with Earth's rotation. The earth, other planets and every other celestial object rotates bc of the way they were formed. Time has a more direct relationship with gravity, but still, we can't really travel into the past methinks
No rotating backwards won't allow us to travel back in time. You need to achieve a speed faster than the constant speed of light, and a rocketship would theoretically require an infinite amount of fuel to attend that speed to travel back in time. The rotation change of our planet will only affect the seasons, the sun rising in the west.
@@robbydutta6521 Nope u will need a craft u can fold So u can hole travel thats the only way to travel in time directly
@@deleted7x847 what youre talking about is a wormhole, consisting of space-time warping. It's theoretical usage is for travelling millions of lightyears within seconds, not time travel.
@@robbydutta6521 Exacktly
and the first ever Gamma-Hole is born!
Those video graphics were fantastic.
I wonder what would happen if a gamma ray burst and orbital laser beam clash
Coldplay a sky full of stars reminds me of space
Our Sun isn’t big enough to turn into a black hole.
What if Japan was the same physical landmass as China (not suddenly)?

2:10 I have never seen you before. I only hear voices. Today I have seen you. You doing a great job.
What if a gamma ray burst hit a smart marvel scientist
What if I hit Earth at 10000000mph 😳
I need What If book please provide me.
"What if every human on the planet was a hermaphrodite?"
Pls make this out.....
Appreciate your content ❤️
If a Gamma Ray ever collides with a black hole near Earth, humanity is probably doomed lol
probably? most definitely 😭
A black hole spaghettifies you, and the UV rays emitted by a GRB would fry you alive. Add those things together, and we would turn into fried spaghetti. Sad thing there won't be anything left to eat us, bringing me to the conclusion that food waste is a universe wide problem.
I was gonna say since time is constant, time reversing would be impossible. Time can be the lowest number possible but it will never be a 0 or a negative number. A negative number suggest time is reversing and a 0 suggest time has stopped.
The beam song melody thing is very relaxing means it's ur last song
What if love your videos what if we appreciate your work and editing but can you make a video what if aliens makes contact with us tomorrow part 2 love your channel what if:)
We love you too!
💢💢💢🛑🛑🛑I remember suggesting this one!!! HAHA THANK YOU FINALLY!! Love you guys ‼️‼️‼️
Whoa, what an interesting scenario.
So in a nutshell, an invisible explosion, giving the illusion of repeating time, and also giving you a highly lethal dose of radiation, and all of that, slowly getting dragged into a black hole
The one person who would survive if something was going to happened to the universe...... everyone could be chasing him for survival he is a legend
Who? Cameraman?
@@Ryu1478Maybe also how is your name like that
really nice video
Very Interesting Video!
I thought the sun was to tiny to become a black hole
What if, these gamma ray burst end Covid variants 😂
What if all our satellites and space trash crashed into the Moon at high speed?
Then moon rage quit (explodes)
Grammarly is indeed very helpful
I find it funny how we are hurtling through the vacuum of space in an aftermath / kind of still in the middle of the explosion and here we are killing each others for the limited resources and deities which do not exist. Totally worth it. :D
what if we are simultaneously the smartest and dumbest civilisation in the galaxy
also you spelt "exist" wrong
@@michaelludlow626 Apologies, english is not my native language.
@@Semirotta its okay
This channel's video is absolutely entertaining. ✨ ⭐
ca we just thank what if for these amazing videos
I think a black hole would slurp up all that energy from a gamma ray burst, say to itself that was yummy, and nothing really more would happen
after 8 minutes of video,i am still waiting to see grb into black hole...
Next video title:what if all of the black holes disappeared
New question raises in my mind
UA-cam : what if uploaded a new video
The real question would be "could the hulk survive a gamma Ray burst? "
He needs to be a worker in NASA
The sun won’t collapse into a black hole, it’s too small of a star...
Here's a cool idea for a video? What If our sun and another star collided?
Good videos 👍
What if we all wore pajamas all our life
Now we know what happened in 'See'
This is so interesting
Even if they did collide Again let us remember that Nothing is as dense as Black holes also take into fact they absorb light so what the hell is a gamma ray going to do to a black hole💀
@what if, please make video on
What if earth change its spin direction.
Heres an idea: What If a Magnetar comes close into a black hole
nice call of duty cut there i ,like it
Unstoppable force meets immovable object
Nice video.
Your hoodie is dope. Where can I get one like it?
Did you get a app ?
I need that hoodie!!! 😩
Oh boy oh boy
This video summed up: bad news
It would probably bounce off the BH because the BH would be too dense to allow absorption. Or pool as a liquid on the surface..
You never fail to entertain us :)
True
What about a collision between two Neutron stars on the other side of our galaxy, are we in potential danger? Kilonova is pretty big space event.
what if time went backwards?
thats a sick hoodie where i can get it from?
Boom another fight which can kill you traditional videos of what if
What if a golf ball hit a star at the speed of light? (Keep in mind that when an object reaches light speed, it's mass and energy become ♾️!
"A gamma ray burst would sound a little something like this.." - and UA-cam went straight to an advert.
So, a gamma ray burst sounds like a woman talking about project management.
it's kinda hard to take any information from this video seriously considering that you presented the sound of a gammy ray as an orchestral symphony without even mentioning the resampling, the quantizing to sensible note rhythms and scales and the completely arbritrary choice of instrumentation. i mean, i'm not against sonification, but it just shouldn't be done so mindlessly
Black holes regularly erupt in gamma ray bursts, so nothing
lol i like how he added a scene from call of duty 4
Unstoppable force vs immovable object
That has happened already many times.
