    This video is about how efficient various reactions are at converting mass to energy (as we know from the Einstein mass-energy equivalence of E=mc^2). Antimatter is very efficient but it is not naturally-occurring. Chemical reactions like fire or explosions are very inefficient. Nuclear fission and nuclear fusion are better, but not amazing on an absolute scale. Non-rotating black holes (Schwarzschild) and rotating (Kerr) are by far the most efficient, due to their accretion disks and very small radius of their innermost stable circular orbits.

    With a small enough black hole, you can convert 100% of the infalling mass to energy. Small ones are "hot" and have significant Hawking radiation. So you get one that's the right size to produce the power you want and then throw in mass periodically to keep it from getting smaller. If you stop feeding it, it shrinks, gets hotter and radiates faster and eventually blows up. But keeping it in balance is pretty easy if you are talking power needs along the lines of Norway or the world. Trickier if you want really gigantic power production from a smaller black hole.

    There's an even better solution to this with rotating black holes. You can directly harvest the rotational energy of the black hole through superradiance of lasers. Surround it in a reflective surface - or more likely arrange wave guides in specific patterns, and superradiant scattering will dump huge amounts of energy into the laser drawn from the rotational energy of the black hole

    I really think that there was a typo in the Chemical Reaction's section:

    P.S. If one is to use the percentage’s perspective (i.e., in the Nuclear Reaction’s section, 150 cats were supposedly needed (which is 100/0.7 = 142.9 cats)), the Chemical Reaction’s section shall then be needing a hundred billion, also not ten billion, cats.

So the crashing doesn't have as much oomph. It's not like my object is crashing into stationary stuff. I could throw it against the tide of the accretion disk-then there'd be more violent crashing-but that goes against the thing he was saying about rotating black holes.

    Assuming that we some day create a processes that can capture energy from matter, anti-matter annihilation and turn it into anti-matter con be done at more than 50% efficiency so long as we keep feeding in matter we sustain this cycle and use the energy not used to create more antimatter as profit to power things or create even more anti-matter. So long as this process is scalable you could in theory start from a single anti-quark (bit small, anti-hydrogen would be better) and keep feeding in mass and scaling your anti-matter production until you are producing sufficient power. This will obviously take a huge amount of mass, just a fun thought though.

    To be precise, black holes produce so much energy from stuff falling into them because those 42% are the mass equivalent of the kinetic energy gained by it which can be turned into radiation e.g. by fricton. None of the rest mass of the object is converted to energy, assuming it doesn't undergo nuclear reactions in the process (which would not add much to it anyway, as said in the video) or get into an environment that is extreme enough to violate particle conservation laws. Hawking radiation violates particle conservation, for example.
    Another pretty efficient energy source involving black holes is to extract rotational energy from it. That can be achieved by sending stuff close to it, but not so close that it cannot escape anymore on its own, which can lead to that stuff ending up with a higher sum of kinetic plus potential energy than before... or perhaps it just works wirh photons which can end up witha higher frequency (aka more energy) than before, I'm not sure (there is a video about it somewhere on UA-cam). That would be an almost limitless source of energy, as black holes can have stupendously huge amounts of it. For example, the supermassive black hole at M87 (the one we have a picture of) has a rotational energy of about the equivalent of 10 trillion supernova explosions IIRC... and a few people here might know about how huge just a single supernova is, from the following cite from what-if.xkcd.com/73/
    "However big you think supernovae are, they're bigger than that.
    Here's a question to give you a sense of scale: Which of the following would be brighter, in terms of the amount of energy delivered to your retina:
    - A supernova, seen from as far away as the Sun is from the Earth, or
    - The detonation of a hydrogen bomb pressed against your eyeball?
    Applying the physicist rule of thumb suggests that the supernova is brighter. And indeed, it is ... by nine orders of magnitude."
    Just a single supernova is so huge that some astronomers use a separate energy term for it: The foe. It stands for "ten to the *F*ifty-*O*ne *E*rg" which is the order of magnitude of a supernova, in cgs units which are still common in astronomy.

    is the loss of mass from the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen an actual quantity that was measured or a result of using E=mc^2 to backwards compute the mass from the change in enthalpy?
    from my understanding, no mass is lost in a chemical reaction but rather chemical energy in the form of energy levels of electrons and chemical bonds is being converted to heat energy and vice versa

  • @petersmythe6462
    @petersmythe6462 3 роки тому

    Another benefit of using neutron stars over black holes is that in principle you can build structures on their surface, within the photon sphere. This is significant because it means the energy is greatly blue shifted. So you actually can in principle break 100% efficiency. I don't know that you want to since the surface of a neutron star being bombarded with cats is going to be a very hellish place with high gravity and relativistic debris, but you could.

    You guys are right about black holes. They are made of the most efficient reaction in the universe. They are made of quark plasma. It is this plasma that is the reaction that is the point of E=mc2. This is the reaction that the matter in the cat would have to be broken down to in order to get maximum energy. Quark plasma uses the power between the quarks as opposed to the power between atoms like fusion. While fusion requires massive amounts of electricity to create, quark plasma, once shocked into existence, uses the dark matter of space as a catalyst as it flows through us causing gravity. Quark plasma is so broken down that the absolute zero dark matter of space actually deters it from reconnecting even though the dark matter is what eventually puts it back together. Dark matter is extremely pressurized electron neutrinos.

    The math is way off in this video.

Remember folks: reduce cat overpopulation, reuse cats up to 9 times and recycle their litter too (it smells bad, might as well burn it away at the same time).

After that, they were completely wiped out, but the solar-system was in the safe zone. You should thank cats for sparing such mere un-cute humans

    the problem from there is now converting the heat into a usable energy. so in reality through all these means you still need to go through one more set of efficiency, a steam turbine.
