Planet Vulcan Gets Owned By Black Hole

[3DPlanets]

Did you record your screen with a potato?

[wii2050]

If you zoom in you can see the arrow that the planet takes to it's knee.

[BoyArmor]

i like the divided by zero jokes, but enough, cuz u wish doing that will cause BLACK HOLE

[Nueroactive]

Brought to you by "Oreck" the Universe's strongest vacuum.

[BillyJimOMFG]

As useless as it was, I thought it was funny.



[gotchaf4i]

Didn't the 2009 Star Trek movie by J.J Abrams just fuck up the time line in the entire Star Trek franchise? Vulcan was never destroyed at anytime in the previous Star Trek shows or movies...

[PeachWookiee]

@gotchaf4i It's an alternate reality/timeline/universe, so I don't think so. This is a timeline separate from the original. And since Spock Prime is still there, I'd say his time is still intact.

[bolden0000]

WHO THE FUCK DIVIDED BY ZERO!?!?!??!!?!?!?!??

[Luna7871]

CaraNitrus Excellent observation. In my earlier comment I was referring to normal black holes.

[vetwannabe8ball]

This is a good lesson to be learned.  NEVER Google Google!

[whitecloadsscareme1]

i hate the fact that planet Vulcan was destroyed.

[kallemick]

planet vulcan gets "owned"? what kind of stupid title is that!?

[phuturephunk]

This looked cool but I think trying to conceptualize what it would actually do would be much much more trippy.

[Luna7871]

Why did they make a hole appear in the planet? Black holes are spherical. And what's with the weird flashing lights? Light cannot escape from a black hole. If there was light it would only be visible from the core of the singularity, or if you were moving towards it at the speed of light or faster. And even if you could see the light, it would appear red because of the redshift. A black "hole" is not really a hole, a hole was simply the easiest way to illustrate the effects of a black hole's gr

[gigoer]

@Luna7871 Dude it's just a movie to be enjoyed. Stop thinking so hard

[CaraNitrus]

@Luna7871 Just an observation, Light can escape a Black Hole in Quasars, in Hawking radiations or in the reflection of particles that didn't entered in the horizon yet, and since a black hole have magnetic charge, everything with the same polarity would be reflected instead of dragged.

For instance, our Galaxy have a super-massive black hole that seems thousands times brighter than our sun.

[aluisious]

@CaraNitrus The black hole in our galaxy is dark. It does not have any matter emitting light around it. The only way they detected it was by analyzing the orbits of nearby stars.

[aluisious]

@Luna7871 Light can escape from near a black hole just fine. ie, if you happen to be crushing the matter of a planet into a very dense state.

Now the thing that I find a bit silly about this animation is that a new black hole that was absorbing a planets matter would not exert more gravity than the mass it had consumed, so the planet wouldn't collapse this fast. It would collapse at a rate less than it's own gravity. Wouldn't make for a dramatic scene I guess.

[TheInspector3000]

awesome but unrealistic and fake, like plastic tits...

[gigoer]

A ballsy thing to do in the new movie. Star Trek has never been brave enough to do things like this

Can't wait for the next one

[bluenail03]

@gigoer I agree. And don't forget that the Romulus in the 'proper' reality was destroyed too.

[dongerado]

is that richard gere´s ass?

[truedude30]

I don't normally geek-out about this shit, but if Vulcan is 16 light-years away (94 trillion miles) at the Enterprise's current max warp (7), it would take about 9 days to reach the planet. Yet Kirk and Spock arrived within minutes to hours (?) just in time to see Vulcan go down the rabbit hole...either Nero had dull drill bits or the Enterprise pulled warp-9.99 out of J.J.'s arse.

[therunningman09]

@truedude30 they were travelling faster than light

[truedude30]

@therunningman09 they were travelling 680 times faster than the speed of light (warp 7). Still, it would take 9 days yet they arrived in minutes to hours. Anyhoo. Like I noted - just my personal moment of geek. Still enjoyed the new cast and movie.

[therunningman09]

@truedude30 Right, ah it's not the first time a movie f-ed up on the science, and sure as hell won't be the last.

[KNS1996DFS]

@truedude30 Well, JJ's version of Trek is going to play fast and loose with the science from now on; it may be that they reset the warp scale. And it seemed from the dialogue that Enterprise's max speed was around Warp 4. I liked the movie as an action flick - as a Trek fan, I was philosophical about it. Nemesis flopped and Enterprise got canceled. This is Trek, now. We might as well try to enjoy it.

[truedude30]

@KNS1996DFS I agree.

[CrazyBear65]

@KNS1996DFS Enterprise had potential, damn shame they canceled it, if you ask me.

[aluisious]

@KNS1996DFS Star Trek always played fast and loose with science.

[F14ace]

Shit! Somebody down there divided by zero!

[CFitzm777]

@F14ace A most illogical choice of mathematic problem.

[ZeeThree33]

Noobs just got pwned XD

[666lilnickY]

haha N()()l3 it's called pwnd.  lulz.

[Blacktide212]

That looks fun...

[MrConundrum2020]

why didn't they use dense mass/matter stuff against borg cubes?...unless a core is needed, where as borg cubes don't have certain types of ideal cores.

[jackanoryjames]

This is how we teach the galaxy about Terran superiority and our contempt for the universe...

..

How else are they going to learn...?

[Trans4mers8456]

This just goes to show: Never divide by zero.

[luigi19987]

because of sulus cock up vulcan was destroyed

[hafabee]

According to the logic of Star Trek 2009 the planet Vulcan just jumped through time, because black holes are now time travel portals. Maybe it'll reappear in the next movie. ;)

[wiseidiot5763]

@hafabee I'm sorry to say, but that principle probably doesn't apply the way you're hoping. Besides, even if it did come back, it would basically just be an asteroid field

[hafabee]

@wiseidiot5763 then why was Spock's little ship or the Narada able to go through the black hole and get tossed backwards through time and not get turned into spaghetti

[TOK150]

@hafabee I guess because there ships were shielded?^^

[hafabee]

@TOK150 yeah, I guess, that's probably a good an answer as any!

[SHdudeproductions]

PWNED

[LUXITANIE]

USS enterprise just passing by the planet destroyed by black hole,WTF...

[wiseidiot5763]

How is it that the black hole disappeared after sucking up Vulcan, but the one that sucked up the supernova kept going?

[1000FireEagles]

@wiseidiot5763 It did not disappear. Just like any black hole it can't be seen, but it is there.

[JWLuke787]

@wiseidiot5763 more matter inside the supernova for the black hole to get rid of before it disapates. And yes black holes do slowly fall apart.

[gamerlegend]

didn't spock create that black hole to save romulus? Failing in the process?

[bulluis]

HaHaHA i like your choice of words ;P gets owned by black hole hahaha xD Owned xD

[arthurschl]

cheese, this shit on a IMAX ...

[realitycheckman87]

Does this mean that tuvok from voyager series won't exsist In this timeline? O.o

[SVWillmer]

Whats more is that this universe will travel back in time to Zefram Cochrane, along with Voyager when it goes back and may not stop that bloke in the 20th century...

And again and again the universes will keep going back in time. That one event in time on this film that one travel in time will cause so many alternate (5th dimensional) universes.

And thats not half the story. No wonder there are temporal agents in the future, or in the one set future.

[HELLOPEOPLEPEOPLEHI]

@realitycheckman87 Not necessarily. Though it was never really elaborated on in the movie J.J. Abrams was talking about how the timeline is constantly trying to 'fix' itself, and now that Nero's gone it could try and make the best with what it has, thus meaning that everything else important to Trek could return, just in a different manner.

[spork24601]

Maybe, Tuvok was born 4 years after this, but on a Vulcan lunar colony. So if his parents were already on that colony, they might have survived.

[calvingmail]

@spork24601

the timeline changed...tuvok is history

[IletrikBJ131225]

@calvingmail

His grandparents may have survived

but this is Star Trek according to another universe

[SpartanX189]

Least the kids who bullied him are dead now lol

[1bulma1]

@SpartanX189 lol

[Muffinfordinner]

If the black hole destroyed the planet, why did it send spock back in time rather than killing him?

[HELLOPEOPLEPEOPLEHI]

The black hole was created in the center of Vulcan. Spock was outside the black hole when it was created. Thus he was able to be taken in as whole, instead of piece by piece.

[Renji9031]

@Muffinfordinner I don't really think that the singularity created by the Red Matter is a black hole, rather, a sophisticated wormhole with the properties of a black hole and the ability to transcend space-time, which means that right now there could be two identical planets in the universe, both Vulcan.

[SpiritofVersaille]

This was soo sad, nevertheless I hope they expand on this alternate universe. I like the actors better lol.

[aceyorba]

looks like the state of Taxifornia

[ifly6]

You do know that all of the black holes generated by ther CERN project, would evaporate instantly due to Hawking Radiation.

[thegtagamerz]

thats the CERN project

[smallvillian1007]

red matter is actully the affect that we see something moving away from us at great speeds nearing the speed of light

[gabedamien]

@smallvillian1007 You're probably referring to "red shift" which is an optical effect, not a kind of matter.

[SpiritofVersaille]

You're correct, and its a unit of measurement not actually matter at all xD.

[PhysicsCardiology]

@smallvillian1007

Are you crazy? The effect of moving come from our biological eyes. It's when the light penetrates our eyes to see, called red shift. When something is moving is then a cause of the gravitational force and time, not red matter. Red matter, for now, is not provable. Not saying that it doesn't exist, as I heard in a physics documentary about red matter and as well white matter. Don't remember them, unfortunately.

[MPPproducciones]

like cern

[megacide84]

Oh My God!! they killed Kenny,er I mean Vulcan!!!!

YOU BASTURDS!!!!!!

[silversoftCEO]

This is a cool clip. But it IS unrealistic. To create a black hole, you need to have a mass 8 times that of the Sun. That's ALOT of mass for something they can, in the movie, fit in a syringe. If the droplet of red matter is 8 times the mass of the sun, the inward pull of gravity should ALREADY crush it into a black hole. It won't need heat. When a massive star dies, the black hole is created by the crushing implosion, and the core is compacted to a point of infinite density: a singularity.

[Trans4mers8456]

True, but remember: 'tis science FICTION.

[silversoftCEO]

As long as they don't put this on Nat Geo, I have no quarrel with it xD

[InsertZipCode]

OH COME ON. This is supposed to be fantasy. D;

[fpsBeaTt]

Science-fiction, not fantasy.

[fpsBeaTt]

Well der, that's how a black hole would be formed naturally. Red matter however is a sufficiently advanced technology to be indistinguishable from magic. Instead of calling it magic, you're calling it unrealistic. Gee, that must mean replicators are also unrealistic, since to get a beef sandwich one must have the cow and grind it into beef patty. Sorry, but your comment is asinine in the most criminal of ways, stifling imagination and possibilities by labelling them as 'unrealistic'. It's Sci-fi

[silversoftCEO]

Watch the episode of The Universe on the History Channel where they actually talk about "red matter" in their sci-fi episode. You'll be surprised they're saying the same thing I'm saying. And I don't think magic has anything do to with Star Trek. It's Sci-Fi like you said. Not Harry Potter or Twilight. And I'm "stifling creativity with asinine and criminal comments"? Jeez I was just making an observation as to how out there yet admittedly cool the clip was. Cool your warp jets, Scotty.

[fpsBeaTt]

Sorry:P Thy do get energised too readily.

[silversoftCEO]

Haha. It's alright mate.

[w00dy101]

AmericanFighter1212 STFU punk ass, just a movie not a science lesson.

[AmericanFighter1212]

Fake.... Black holes dont look like that at all......... It wouldnt just vanish, thats stupid, It would leave remnants...

[WoAzMM]

It's still there, but there is nothing left to have light reflect from derbies around it, and the hole its self can't emit light.

[fpsBeaTt]

Actually, in a sense it can during consumption. It shoots out streams of energy. Have you heard of quasars?

[D31u5i0n]

You fight for your accident of birth geographic region caused by plate tectonics? Hm...

[AmericanFighter1212]

.... Are you trying to be funny? Fucking loser get a life.

[ThomasWHill]

actually the do have the capacity to just vanish. evidence of such i refer you to stephen hawking whos research actually indicates that a blackhole can indeed just disappear and stop growing or it will consume itself due to the fact that it has nothing left to consume but itself. And we can assume that this is part of the red matters functionality. Thank god Hawking is British :D he rocks

[bulked]

i read a poll that %70 of Americans think hes American-a little tweaking to his computer and we can convince the world hes Klingon!

[ThomasWHill]

@bulked hahahaha klingon speaking hawking..... british klingons...... hmms wtf lol

[fambrandon3737]

Now that the Young Spock know what will happen to Romulus and Vulcan he can change events and everything will be different, again.

[OhGawDuhhh]

Actually, it would create an alternate reality where Spock changed the future.

ANYTHING THAT CAN HAPPEN WILL HAPPEN IN ANY OF THE ALTERNATE UNIVERSE.

[WilliamABoi]

@fambrandon3737 Well, he can save Romulus... not Vulcan though (1 year later, hi)

[eweruh]

volound, it's a film, no-one has seen a planet pulled into a black hole's event horizon, I think they did a pretty good job. :)

[volound]

frankly, nobody has seen a black hole but we still know how they behave.

WE still know how they behave.

[volound]

im sorry but this scene kind of annoyed me. black holes do not behave like that. wheres the gravitational red shift at the event horizon? why is there lightning in the black hole? and the way it slowly works its way out the planet is bullshit.

[GavinJ06]

I guess they just did it this way because it would make the scene too long if they had made it scientifically accurate.

[potterpower2006]

and the fact that its an artificial black hole might have something to do with the lightning o.o

[CoSzaro17]

its like a cloud, massive ammounts of dust at such high speeds cause friction and mass amounts of static electricity to the point of firm visibility

[volound]

yes, but these would discharge earlier and would be on a much smaller scale.

these lightning bolts are clearly visible.

[0ojoliveruleso0]

i love the film and its killer effects!

[dingdongditch1000]

Where do blak holes go to??? I have no clue!!!

[volound]

black holes constantly shrink and will eventually evapourate depending on the amount of matter that enters the event horizon and is emitted as radiation from its poles.

[CoSzaro17]

they dont, they super compress u to pure energy and shoot u out

[volound]

the opposite of compress actually.

[CoSzaro17]

oh. ma bad

[SugarbloodSB]

lololololol

[MoonarEclipse]

@SugarbloodSB

olololololo trollololololo

[overlordblinky]

LAWL! PWNED!

[crammen90vegeta]

just awesome, saw it today loved the film :)

[Elentor]

I disagree. I think seeing a planet being sucked from the inside by a black hole is fantastic. It's a very unique scene, no one had pulled anything like this before with CGI.

[mattwatchesvids]

you need to make one of the final black hole because that one was way cooler. or if you know where i can find it that would be cool too

[MegamanNG]

That very thing scares the crap out of me.
