Part 1 of 4 - Who's Afraid of a Big Black Hole? - BBC Horizon

[schnides1974]

awsome info and speculation.

[EnlightenU]

A concentration of Gravitational waves colliding in the fabric of space, near a dying star, create black holes as water energy create whirlpools. The harmonics of the stars termination creates the point or center anchor for gravitational waves to create the Black hole. Just sayn....

@EnlightenU I see. Black Holes are a nightmare and well just to tell you i don't want to corsbond with one. It will stretch your body a thousand miles. So basicly your dead before what ever happend to you. Imagine yourself being stretched out a thousand miles. Mind bogling.

BBC keeps removing their science videos, why do this? why not share this with the world? Because of youtube and BBC being on it, I became familiar with great minds like Brian Cox and so on, I have learned so much and continue to "try" and enjoy them BUT they just keep on disappearing.

If parallel universes and the multi-verse are real then possibly black holes are formed when the supernova explosion is big enough (10 solar masses or something) that it rips the fabric of our universe and a hole is formed drawing matter into it which is then released in the multi-verse....Or it might be just me ive just been watching too much space videos lately....

I just cannot fail to be more and more amazed by this video. Its absolutely fascinating ,and very inspiring.

@kristensing1 Please stop trolling!

[AtrociousB]

I wish I could travel to a Black hole and jump in. Just to finally understand it... Or be killed instantly... :-/

[Gajoobles]

@AtrociousB Probably the latter:P

What is it with the world, only 2469 have watched this since 20 nov 2010, amazing to be on a planet with 7 billion ignorant people.

[joyceyboydave]

@ThermalHD You and I have watched it. 7 billion -2.

[ThermalHD]

@joyceyboydave Good, ini tiny hope for humanity then. The rest is watching justin.

@ThermalHD Itf it makes you feel any better, over 2000 years ago in ancient Greece writters and intellectuals wrote and complained of the 'mob', the majority of the population who showed no interest in finding knowledge or truth.

Personally in a trival way I like to belong to a tiny section of the society, a sort of intelligentsia . If everyone around me spent all their free time reading science books and quoting Voltaire and Keats to each other then I wouldn't feel quite so clever.

@STEPHENWRAYSFORD33 we all need a dim few to realise we're bright, hence the light bulb.
