Black holes are amongst the most extraordinary objects that are known to exist in the universe. Jerome Gauntlett will discuss their fascinating properties and describe the dramatic recent observations of black holes using gravitational waves. He will also explain why it is believed that black holes hold the key to unlocking the next level of our understanding of the fundamental laws of physics.
Jerome Gauntlett is a professor of theoretical physics at Imperial College. His principal research interests are focussed on string theory, quantum field theory and black holes. Most recently he has been investigating whether string theory techniques can be used to study exotic states of matter that arise in condensed matter physics. He was Head of the Theoretical Physics Group at Imperial from 2011-2016.
He was the theoretical physics consultant for the film The Theory of Everything and he has an Erdos-Bacon number of six (having written a paper with Shing-Tung Yau and appeared in the film Windrider with Nicole Kidman).

Professor Gauntlett gave the lectures for the General Relativity module for our physics course. Despite having learnt all this already, I still find myself sitting down and listening to him speak about physics! Easily one of the best, articulate and well-prepared lecturers I've ever come across!
Okay so iam a middle schooler and i want to study physics. I love to hear more about physics and life. This was the best lesson ever . I love this lesson.

Not alone.....
Keep learning. Maybe we'll be watching your lecture on this channel one day
Literally, who would dislike a free University Lecture?! much less 600 people. wow
This guy is a phenomenal teacher. This is the first time I have heard that the singularity inside a black hole is a singularity in time. He made the entire subject approachable and understandable to someone with little math and physics education.
I have my own theory that there is no such thing as a singularity.
I think Black Holes are just giant neutron stars.
They are full of neutrons and they can't collapse because time stands still.
Without time - nothing can happen.

I never would have had any understanding of what Hawking Radiation is had I not listened to this talk. Just one of many great nuggets free for the asking!
A brilliant and concise lecture. Thank you for sharing it.
i truly do not believe that anyone on the planet could take that lecture better than him......even though I'm off field here(dentist😅) i tend to have an interest in the topic and almost all of the lecture gave me an insight to what answers I've been looking for years .....hats off professor Jerome!!
Just come across of this channel on you tube, so grateful I found it, incredible incredible lecture and all of them I listened so far very unique. Public is dying for such knowledge and information, its so important for us to know about our Universe and us. Thank you for sharing it with us.
This was excellent. Thank you for offering it to us!
I know absolutely nothing about physics but I just recently started learning about black holes and now I’m hooked. Found this lecture and while this is definitely not my area of educational knowledge, I love how he explained things throughout. Made me feel a bit smarter after watching :)
That the LIGO detectors can even be built at all is amazing. That they actually work is even more amazing!
Fascinating talk, really brilliant new insights!
Great talk, I learned a bit about hawking radiation, the tuesday analogy and essentially what the next big projects in cosmology might be.
You get a glimpse of how things in science/physics are connected, the theories, how Newton wasn't invalidated but rather being a puzzle piece the next generation built upon. Then having relativity and quantum in parallel until we have more knowledge for the next theory. Then there are observations or experiments which are made by essentially spending money on detectors and accelerators. And with more advanced theories we as consumers get more powerful tools, spaceships, GPS, smartphones, that's the engineering benefit of it.
One of the best lectures about black holes. Even though it is one of the toughest and mysterious stuff in physics, he did explain it in a very simple way. Thank you Professor for such a wonderful lecture.
Such a deep, clear, concise and simple to understand explanation. Fascinating.

@@calvinames8528 Yes Moose....but the psychological vacuum created by the material density of the conception in the Neoplatonic sense warps the physical dimension in accord with the ideal construction in the higher domain which renders any human measurement mute. Therefore the conceptual web of the human organism is tied down to a constraint of time and the associated curvature of this complex. Once this ideal realm is created it is perfectly possible for the human mind to get sucked into the vortex of its own creation, a type of a black hole. Therefore the ideal realm becomes reality.

Found this in 2020. And since this lecture "we" have also obtained a photograph of a black hole.
sorry but no... we did not obtain a picture of a black hole. we obtained a picture of the gases and material orbiting a black hole. NOT the actual hole itself. it is literally impossible to photograph a black hole in anyway other than images of it's surroundings. because a black hole doesn't itself emit anything we can photograph.
@Nemesis um... no armchair science please. magnetism, lol.... um.... no. and yes, time does exist and thus there is also space. and yes, they are relative.... because EVERYTHING is relative. literally.... EVERYTHING. hence the term.... "relativity". welcome to life in a 3 dimensional reality.
but just for laughs... what do you call the "space" between two objects?
@Nemesis
It is reletive only to those who measure it outside the black hole.
Inside the black hole past, present and future probably exist in a higher dimension all together at the same one instant.

Excellent presentation. The animation of the stars orbiting the galactic black hole was amazing. I also liked how the presenter emphasized Newton's theories were not disproven so much as subsumed into the larger framework of General Relativity. This is one key aspect of scientific progression that is misunderstood by the general populace.
A really beautiful lecture, thank you.
Just happened upon these lectures. Thank you for making them available to the public. Mr. Gauntletts presentation was incredibly good. Makes me wish I paid more attention in college.
pourquoi?
The experiment with the clip and the magnet at 23:00 left me genuinely shocked. I never actually thought of comparing the gravitational force of Earth with a magnet the size of my thumb. Like he said, it sounds like a simple, meaningless experiment. But it does show without question that gravity is by far weaker than we usually think.
WOAH! Amazing demonstration! 29:09 Had no clue the interference was so sensitive... to a sound wave (moving the lasers right?). That was crazy.
Extremely clear and comprehensible presentation.

According to the knowledge we have of black holes, I do believe that black holes must be a single particle . However big or small , they couldn't be made up of many particles . They're one of the missing particles .
Hmm

Excellent lecture about the black holes. Thank you professor.
If the effect of gravity is instantaneous, how does a gravitational waves work? The very nature of a wave suggests that it propagates from the source which means it takes time for the 'signal' to travel. I'm totally missing something.
From what I understand, in the lecture around the 12 min mark. The observations Newton made were an emergent property of the curvature of space-time.
Newton was right to be suspicious about the observations he made, unfortunately he didn't have the scientific capability of making the types of measurements we can make today.
The LIGO detectors are an incredibly advanced engineering and technology accomplishment.
I sure wish I could get into the field of physics haha
'instantaneous' would still be limited by the speed of light though I think. I also know space-time itself doesn't have that speed limit, but I think any kind of wave would have that speed limit, which would still make it 'instant' since that the fastest speed information can travel. I think?
if sun disappeared now earth would still feel its gravity for 8,3 minutes
I heard from another lecture that they confirmed that light and gravity travels at around the same speed because of a star that was detected by Ligo and by observatories. Been binging so I can't remember which video.
Beautiful lecture ... Overwhelming ... Humbling ...

Perhaps my biggest peeve of all time: Einstein did not CONCLUDE that the speed of light was constant. He INTERPRETED the constant speed of light that physicists of the time kept observing.

Excellent description and very helpful understanding of the physics of black holes.
I just closed my eyes and enjoyed the ambient utters.
Fantastic lecture! Taking something so complex and making it so simple. Im quite earily in my space engineering studies and must say I did not know how the particles formed and collapsed in vacuum before. Thank you professor!
In quantum mechanics, the concept of a point-like particle is complicated by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, because even an elementary particle, with no internal structure, occupies a nonzero volume... but great lecture 🔥🔥🔥
A demonstration of the art of speaking at its best.
Prof. Gauntlett has a superb command of his material, speaks beautifully and rationally, and does not invent arbitrary nonsenses to make his facts and his ideas, which he distinguishes well, fit into any arbitrary plan.
A very fine and responsible teacher!
He speaks the macro and quantum views being unconnected in the concepts we have achieved so far with elegance and precision from 47:33.
Recall that gravity is indistinguishable from acceleration. It's a heck of a lot easier to think about acceleration than curved space-time IMO. So, with the acceleration metaphor for gravity in mind, is the following an accurate description of events?
Throw a ball up into the air. Our arm's muscle overcomes the ball's weight and gives the ball momentum relative to us. Up it flies. Gravity is not a force, so the ball does not "run out of momentum against the force of gravity and fall back to earth." Instead, is it exactly as if, standing on the earth, our 'floor' is pushing us ever faster upward and outward such that we are being accelerated at 9.8m/s^2, but the ball, not being pushed on by the earth, does not accelerate but rather continues moving uniformly just as it moved the instant it left our hand, with no further forces acting on it, until we, being further accelerated by our connection to the earth, observe the ball seeming to slow its rise, pause, and then change direction to "fall" back down to earth with what appears to us to be a 9.8m/s^2 acceleration. So it's not the ball falling to earth, it's us being accelerated until we overtake the ball's uniform motion.
Weird. But okay.
I found this lecture to be lip smacking good.
-OK Internet- ha!
Great speaker, minus the lip smacking .....geeesh, horrible habit
Eli King Biting the lips, and lip smacking is a signs of uncertainty!
I was peacefully listening until I read this, now I cant help but notice it damnit
It's killing me
I have many questions, but first, about the LIGO or interferometer specifically. Does the gravity wave manifest as a space or time distortion or is it a spacetime distortion? Does one arm see a length change or is the wavelength phase modulated or is there difference between looking at it either way over what is happening in the other arm? Is a gravity wave propagated as orthogonal space and time fields analogous to EM waves? Where can I find these answers?
@ around 11:25 he says imagine space is like a rubber sheet... the way i see it it's more like an infinite ocean and matter inside of it pushes/displaces the water around it just like when you enter a bath tub and water rises. The more massive an object is the stronger the gravity and the more spacetime is bent around it.
the most easy to understand explanation for me so far about how these things fundamentally works. Thank you Professor, great talks.

I love this topic. I want to know more about this lesson. thankyou
Absolutely superb presentation!!!
I fell asleep listening to this and had awesome scifi dreams about traveling through black holes!
You were dreaming about what we might actually be doing. Pretty insightful. Our perception of the expansion or inflation of the universe would be exactly the same assuming we were collapsing in, rather than far out galaxies moving away. This would also serve to explain dark energy, or how 'empty' space, contains 99% of the energy within the cosmos. I'm convinced our current theories about the nature of our reality are exactly opposite the truth, and were too stubborn to retheorize these fundamental understandings, for fear of reprisal.
19:30 pretty cool that the star that passed the closest reached a vertex (point (0,0) on an x^2 parabola) almost exactly at year 2000. just coincidence but a pretty neat one.
No one cares
it might be stimulated.. who knows. :/ Some coincidences are too good to be true
One of the very best RI-lectures.
This lecture is mind blowing
I've been sick so I put on some lectures to listen to while I rest, I fell asleep and the nextvideos opening theme came on. I think my heart stopped for a moment and sh*t myself...
We've made them less deafeningly loud recently. Sorry for the scare!
didn't even notice the lip smacking until I read the comments and even after that it didn't bother me!
udo dirkschneider I noticed it but it didn’t bother me. That’s just something some people do, including a lot of lecturers.
udo dirkschneider you weren't really listening then.
UDO: but his lip smacking is better than the "haaa.... haaa" uttered during pauses in between sentences by other speakers !!
I didn't notice either but after it was pointed out it was all I could hear lol
Polite and considerate people don't do that.
6:50 I’d pay for someone to find for me every single person who laughed, giggled, smiled or you can see they’re holding in a smile or a laugh
Wonderful lecture. Great, intellectual speaker. Learnt so much about black holes. Tq...
11:35 Here the idea that in GR gravity is understood as curvature of spacetime and not a force in Newtonian sense is explained by an analogy which assumes that gravity is a force in Newtonian sense :-)
I agree. That was sloppy. A clearer image is that everything moves in a straight line and that the space they travel in is curved. The straight line in curved space image makes the most sense to me.
The opening theme is too loud. I've been following this channel for years, and I jump out of my skin every single time I play a video. Would someone do something about it, please? Thanks.
UA-cam has this function called Auto-Play, where it'll automatically play the next video before you can alter the volume lower. The lecture volume is fine. The intro isn't. I do agree it's minorly cumbersome to have to manually lower the volume specifically for the first 6 seconds of every lecture video but then not have to adjust the volume after.
Yes, that's what I meant: only the first few seconds when the logo is showing, otherwise I have nothing against the lecture volume as a whole.
Agreed!

With regards
is graviton an elemental particle that is somehow responsible for the gravitational field or the geometric orientation of space time or is it a different quantum particle?
Mass(in kilograms)=Charge squared(in Coulombs squared) x 10 to the power minus 7 divided by distance(between two charges in meters). Thus Newton's Law Of Universal Gravitation is absolutely equivalent to Coulomb's Law of electromagnetic attraction (or repulsion) and therefore gravity is identical with electromagnetism and quantum gravity is just electromagnetism of the quanta.
Electric charge comes in positive and negative varieties though, so its definitely different.
Newton's intuition (though he declined to hypothesize this) was that gravity attracts at near distances, and cohere, but at greater distances, both attracts and repels( that is both positive and negative charges are acted on at greater distance by gravity). Thus both positive and negative charges are subsumed in Newton's Law of Gravity ( "On the Shoulders of Giants" 2002 edition, page 1160).

Finally! New info on black holes. After learning their was a extra large blackhole in our galaxy I freaked out! My basic understanding of them was that they gobble everything up and nothing could escape. I can rest now knowing that they disappeared leaving behind what they gobbled up.

is there a Computer Generated picture of only known or conjectured black holes of the universe ? any possibility of seeing the topographical display in toto ? as it exists at some/any known state? projected with or without "Spin" perhaps outlined in a red outer ring to represent them?
Most or all galaxies have a major black hole at their centers. So a map of all the galaxies is also a map of all the supermassive black holes. Google 'Hubble Ultra Deep Field' for the famous photograph.
Brilliant.
"Gravity, my old nemesis, you win again" - Zap Brannigan
Great concise explanation of black holes.
if the gravitational wave was detected soon after the detector was turned on, then its reasonable to assume that we are hit by gravity waves pretty regularly, we were just unable to detect them before.
The zero-point energy emitted might be the origin of the discovered dark energy, which comprise 73% of the total mass of the universe. My surmise is that dark energy then condense into dark matter, which in turn condense into ordinary matter:hydrogen atoms, thus completing an eternal cosmic cycle of matter to energy, and energy to matter.
if you mean hawking radiation by "zero-point energy" this cannot be. Dark Matter and Dark Energy are not radiation, as any known form of radiation, that includes the one coming from a black hole, does not behave how they do. Dark Matter seems to only interact through gravity, not any other force. All forms of radiation interact with the electromagnatic field.
"my surmise" is bad phrasing. Dark matter and dark energy are theorized because physicist has a general idea of the amount of matter present in the entire universe and the gravitational behaviour suggest there are more "things" than just ordinary matter. Also, matter don't just disappear, you can follow how they evolve from compound to compound and matter to energy. This doesn't mean your theory is wrong though, just that physicist have their ducks in a row, and are most likely justified being puzzled or justified how they postulate ideas.
Maybe there is no dark matter/energy

Every time I hear about the incompatibility of quantum physics and general relativity I always start thinking about the same metal experiment: what happens if somebody begins to shrink or get bigger at a super fast speed, a speed which would make that one person infinite times smaller than a subatomic particle or infinite times bigger than the biggest galaxies, or even the entire universe, in a short given time of, let's say, few hours? I don't know how physics would work that out, nor if it is possible to write a formula to explain what I'm trying to say, nor if it makes any sense at all, but my intuition tells me that that person would ultimately end up finding herself in the exact same moment in time and space when and where her change of size began to happen. Help please!
Sir, I have a question and request a video on this and maybe scientist community should concentrate on this too
Which is : If a simple star does mass coronal discharge every second and releases million tons of plasma outside in universe, then a) Where does it negate or propagate, b) With reducing mass, according to Newton's law of gravitation, the force of attraction should reduce every second even if by fraction, but in long time run it should result in something. Please make a video on this.
But the ball goes around the curved sheet because of gravitational force in the first place...so what causes the objects to move in curved spacetime?
In the curved sheet analogy the ball is already moving (in a straight line) before it hits the curve. The curve of spacetime is what causes the ball to change direction/go into orbit/accelerate etc as it takes the shortest/straightest path in that curve of spacetime (which is actually 3 dimensions of frictionless space and 1 dimension of time - spacetime, not the crude analogy of a 2D sheet). In general relativity, gravity is not a force, it is the curvature of spacetime. Any number of different forces could have been initially applied to that object to set it in motion in the first place (a push, an explosion, a collision etc etc). Spacetime is an almost impossible thing to visualise and any analogy is going to fail in some respect. The only true explanation is the mathematics.
Amit Mondal ..INERTIA!!
Marcos, you are right, it all is irrational BS... The problem is that all physic is irrational BS... Literally...

WONDERFUL LECTURE FROM GRAVITY ALL THE WAY TO STRING THEORY
As Prof. Gauntlett mentioned different frequency of string would correspond to different particle, so are there infinite types of particle or we have a certain allowed frequency over the strings?
As I understand it, which is not much, the vibrations on the string are the equivalent of standing waves on a guitar or cello string. The possibilities are limited to whole number multiples of the fundamental (whole length) vibration of the string. Which is why there are only so many notes in an octave. The analogy turns to shit when one considers that a guitar or cello string can be of any length, but apparently vibrating quantum strings are constrained in what their lengths can be. If they weren't, there would be, as you note, an infinite number of possible particles. There are examples of an infinite series of particles, notably the photon, which has arbitrary values from ultra-long radio waves to blasts-through-concrete gamma rays. The fundamental weakness of the standing wave analogy is that it is just an analogy.

I am watching this on a 2009 iMac 27". There is no lip-smacking / tutting sound. Check your source.
I find your conception of our universe quite bizzare.
Wonderful. Thank you.
I spend my days amongst other humans who are utterly oblivious to any and all of the wonderously complex and insanely mindblowing knowledge of our ginormous universe. It's sad really that they know so very little and do not strive to come to know anything to expand their almost nonexistent mental file on the subject. For them, they are aware of an abstract idea that is called space and all the matter in it and that we occupy a space in this bigger space, but beyond that, they are generally unable to conceive of a more complex idea than that. Why do I have to know what I'm able to know and learn what I'm able to learn and they do not? I do not believe I am somehow better or superior to them, I just have the mental capacity to be capable of understanding, in large part, these physics questions and wonderful ideas and amazing theories. It does make me feel quite lonely at times though. Does anyone else experience this problem in their lives who are watching this? I'm just curious.

36 septillion yottawatts; about 50 times more. Yep, that sure is a lot.
@@nemesis4785 sounds like a made up number, but a quick web search confirms it:

@@thomasr7129 @Nemesis It's true. Converting three solar masses to energy almost instantly produces a lotta yotta.
But space time is isn't a sheet bend in / out of one specific horizontally direction..
it would be bend in all directions around a mass, so an object ( or objects )
would be prone to falling in all possible directions surrounding that specific mass..
( black hole )
thus an object would normally stay perfectly stabilized ?
At 16:30, what does he mean that positively charged matter will neutralize a black hole immediately? I have not heard of that. Unless of course theres some kind of interaction between the EM charge of the black hole and its event horizon and matter caught in the "vortex". (Term used very loosely)
