  • Not only black holes with this method but hudge massiv blocks of black matter...^^

  • the ring..

  • Thats scary!

  • @moostar2 Well you'd be torn apart so quickly that you might not even notice it. Black holes don't do any damage til you cross the event horizon which is still far away from the hole, but once you do, you're gone in a flash. Or, a blackening, for lack of a better term. ;P

  • Sooo thats why black guys perfer white chicks.

  • That was really awesome.

  • @ZackAttack261 "what does this have to do with black holes"

    It was a response to someone else before YT started automatically inserting '@username'

    "there is evidence to supports that you can sit in the chair with out it breaking it also takes faith to believe in that evidence"

    I'm sorry but you are just inserting the word 'fath' where it doesn belong. Belief with evidence is not faith. It could be a mistake, but it is not faith. Faith is belief without evidence. Look it up.

  • This video is not scary as the vídeo "A Journey into a Black Hole"

  • I use to orbit around a black hole, OH WAIT ! Never mind, That was my EX she was a "BIG" Black Hole

  • Actually the black hole is created by a big explosion force such as the big bang of a dieing star, the explosion pushes out everything later it sucks in to full in the emptiness of that sector. Some said the explosion too big enough even blow through to the other side of space or should i say dimension creating a wormhole,

  • "Actually the black hole is created by a big explosion force such as the big bang of a dieing star, the explosion pushes out everything later it sucks in to full in the emptiness of that sector."

    Emptiness doesn't "suck in" to create black holes, or they'd be forming spontaneously in intergalactic space. Big super nova can form black holes because the force of the explosion is not all outward, some of it is inward, compacting matter beyond what gravity alone would have done.

  • @sleepyneol and you know that because you read it in a children's magazine? Haha I love these kids. If you want to explain something first be sure to know it well. (Facepalm)

  • i thought the black hole suppose to suck in anything in its path, not like the video shows that they just spin around the it and reassemble its original body at the otherside. It is very impossible that once the stars or galaxy disassemble by such a force can be reassemble by the same force. As far as i know, They suppose to suck in by the black hole and come out from a white hole from another side of the galaxy. Not just spin around it.

  • @sleepyneol It's called gravitational lensing, just like the distortion you see through a lens but much greater.

  • @sleepyneol are you retarded?

  • @sleepyneol who does that thing of travelling from a point to other is wormholes...

  • @sleepyneol its the light thats bending, the stars are not actually going through the black hole, they are far away behind it, the light traveling towards us goes around the black hole which distorts the image. Stop trying to be scientific when you dont know what your talking about.

  • @sleepyneol its just the image of the stars that is bended you cant see in a black hole because the light is absorbed by the gravity of that enormus mass

  • Very interesting.

  • the ring is the last thing you see

  • cool cool cool cool

  • The pic on my subscriptions list for this video looked like the ring video where it looks up at the top of the well.

  • why the anisotropy?

  • Trippy as hell.

  • god damn amazing

  • black hole tour... sounds kinky :O

  • @eyhexs Yes, you dirty slut!!

  • It's a simple lens effect. We knew this with Einstein's theory when he said that the sun would alter the light of a star. This is just done at a larger degree.

  • its sad to hear that Albert Einstein spent his last ten years trying to figure whats wrong with his special theory of relativity...

  • when will adults stop believing in their version of santa claus ? and start taking responsibility for themselves ? or will they keep waiting for their big daddy to do everything for them and attributing whatever happens to him ?

  • the simulation missed the part where Jesus welcomes us with open arms when we pass the black hole. XD

  • or a pink elephant

  • hahhahahha

    lololool

  • where can we play with this?

    is there a website?

  • please keep God away from the science pleez...

    He's so 0 A.D.

  • You should use the proper term "C.E", instead of "A.D." then. A.D. means Ad Domini or "Year of the Lord", while C.E. means "Common Era".

  • sarcasm is hard to implement in text *on the A.D. :(

  • where can i get this simulator?

  • Someone put the light on please, it's dark in here.

  • cute disco lights! :P everyone is getting off topic!

  • "The light from the entire universe"

    ....um.... looks like only the visible light from the POV in question... FAR FAR FAR less than "The light from the entire universe"

  • :-O !!!!!!!!!!!

  • Incredible.

    I think that black hole singularities are all the exact same point, and the start and end of the universe are also that same point.

  • i just went back in time watching this video

  • where is the link to the simulator?

  • black holes annoy me

  • someone should kill them, we are here for you dude

  • Who divided by zero?

  • oops forgot restrictions!

  • start our engine! we are heading right into the blackhole! that's right, we gonna travel through time!!! *dead

  • this is the most interesting video on youtube.

  • ive seen that before... after a few beers

  • @shaolindreams beers r for fags

  • woah that's crazy

  • Urgh, this guy narrator's voice!

    Kidding. Just busting some balls 'cause everyone always pans the female narrator's voice.

  • @Vid

    Wow... scary. I'll be glad when scientist finally figure black holes out.

  • I don't get why using rocket engines to slow your decent produces a completely different image to the free fall..

  • Trippy

  • Anybody an expert on black holes?

    I'd like to know: Suppose you are in a space-suit and drifting towards a black hole... What would actually kill you?

    - radiation?

    - gravity?

    - acceleration so strong it tears you to pieces?

  • @mcbrite im prety sure it would be gravity

  • radiation, if the blackhole is big enough it's gravity would be weak enough for a probe but the radiation would completely destroy your body.

  • ??... A blackhole's gravity is powerful enough to strip the atoms from your body

  • In other words... you wouldn't even see a black hole if you were to come close to it.

  • @Gearz86 not every black hole is small enough for that to happen, if it's diameter is as big as Mercury's orbit around the sun it's gravitational pull is significantly weaker than a black hole the size of say our moon. if that wasn't true our galaxy wouldn't exist as it would be already sucked into the central black hole.

  • No, the reason we don't get sucked into the black hole in the centre of the Milkyway is because we are in orbit around it; the same reason we don't get sucked into the sun. If you were to replace the sun with a black hole of the same mass, we would continue to orbit around it. Why does everyone think black holes are like giant vacuum cleaners sucking everything up? You can orbit them just like any other massive objects.

  • Gravity is not a problem when you are in free fall. The fall does not kill you, the ground does.

  • yeah, but the gravity around a black hole would turn you into spaghetti because it's stronger at your legs than at your head. So you'd die.

  • Nah, this would never happen. It's true that in small black holes the pull could twist you in strange ways, but in big black holes you would not notice any gradient of force along your body like the one you describe. In fact, if you do the equations with Newton's law you can see the gradient of force along a radius does not depend on the mass, just on the distance, so the gradient that you'd feel falling into a black hole would be the same you feel falling onto the earth.

  • The force of gravity between two objects is given by F = G(m1*m2)/r^2

    How is that not dependent on mass?

  • Hehehehe, obviously I am not talking about the force of gravity, but about the gradient of force along different points in a radius.

  • Right... Though if you are travelling towards a black hole, you'd have to be travelling faster than light since light can't escape the gravity, and at those speeds your physical form would be disintegrated into atomic level particles and then fall in to the hole.

    The gravity itself will pull you apart, because of the extreme acceleration, before you even "enter" the black hole.

    Its just a theory i have...

  • Haha... nice theory, but you fail physics forever.

  • you cant really say if the black hole would be bigger its gravity would be less strong. as space is probably infinity. Meaning its a matter of conception and we are not used to play with forces this big.

    Atm we know a black hole could capture light. pretty strong...

  • Radiation if it is an active black hole. That is it has an accretion disk of in-falling matter.

    Gravity will if it is in active, especially if it is a small stellar black hole, where tidal forces will bifurcate you until you become nothing but a stream of sub atomic particles.

    From your frame of reference a free fall in a gravitational field is not an acceleration. You are weightless; you would feel no acceleration.

  • wow. very exciting

  • thats freakin scary!

  • that be cool to see

  • thats just magnitic interfreance with wave leanth ,,,all stars do that to some extent ,,, black holes , ,there cold ooo so cold ,,,, like an orphanpaper bridge star lol

  • would u die once sucked up and from what

  • @sackboy1997 lol, of course! I don't know what would get you first, probably radiation or gravity....

  • free fall and rocket engines slowing your decent, seem like the same amount of time.

  • Was it just my eyes that went funny at 1:00 onwards or anybody elses? XD

  • Before you die... you see the ring... o_o

  • @binkusama seven days

  • coooooooooooool !!

  • thats awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

  • Buddhists are athiests

  • Nope! they are Deists. look that up.

  • I don't need to. I am a Buddhist. But don't take my word for it. Wikipedia: "Since the time of the Buddha, the refutation of the existence of a creator has been seen as a key point in distinguishing Buddhist from non-Buddhist views.[1] Buddhism is usually considered a religion, but is also commonly described as a "spiritual philosophy", because it generally lacks an absolute creator god."

  • before you die you see the ring

  • Why does a video about black holes spawn an unnecessary religious debate?

    Ridiculous.

  • I agree! Completely religulous!

  • You are hilarious XD I should use that line more often too.

  • Why do the stars move away/around it, aren't they meant to be sucked into the middle?

  • They don't, they only appear to. It's like an optical illusion. Black holes are like "nothing", you cant see through "nothing", so everything else appears to be around them. But yeah if they were close enough to a black hole and small enough they would get sucked in. But Orion is probably light years away.

  • They don't, they only appear to. It's like an optical illusion. Black holes are like "nothing", you cant see through "nothing", so everything else appears to be around them. But yeah if they were close enough to a black hole and small enough they would get sucked in. But Orion is probably light years away.

  • The stars you see are thousands of light years in the background. It's the light from them you see lensed by gravity.

  • I believe in things that can be proven.

    Now I haven't seen any evidence on a guy that heals people, splits lakes or walks on water without any tricks or other logical solutions...

    Prove me wrong please. :)

  • "We jump into a black hole, so you don't have to."

  • well, I'm going to contribute to this little fight about god.

    God may be there

    God may not be there

    there's no way to know for sure

    we could talk endlessly about the "evidence" of a superior being or about how "irrational" the presence of that being could be, but we'll (human beings) always crash against what I said before. As long as the believers do do anything stupid (or harmful) because of their believes, I don't care.

  • 'there's no way to know for sure'

    Well, yes there is. If God does exist, and wants us to acknowledge the fact and worship him, then he can turn up and say Hi.

    If he is all knowing I'm sure he will know what evidence we would need to see to believe him and if he is all powerful then he could provide it.

    The fact he hasn't is rather telling.

  • hahaha well said. so want every thing without struggling. u cant even get 1 dollar without working so how u can find God by just posting comments. u dumb

  • everytime they post something about space, the God wars begin anew.

  • And the atheist team wins every time :)

  • Win? seriously? LOL look around you pal, you might ''win'' on youtube but reality proves otherwise.

  • Why the hell does this comment have 4 thumbs down? The guy has got a valid point.

    You're definitely right with that. It's true that the majority of our planet's population is religious and it doesn't really matter whether we "win" an argument on youtube.

    I just think religion is something that belongs in the past, but somehow it still manages to cope with the constant flow of refutations modern science puts it through.

  • religious doesn't bring facts to prove its point, science does.

  • actually, anyone who participates, loses.

  • i managed to get out from a black hole, its a giant vacuum cleaner

  • I wouldnt call your ex that.

  • Why not just fly a machine with a camera feeding a harddrive into a black hole : o?

  • how would the waves transmitted by the camera not get sucked in by the black hole?

  • @O0oXvXo0O It would get crushed before it could even get near it.

    We're talking about an object that distorts light itself due to the sheer gravity.

    Even Mario can't approach black holes, or he'd die :P

  • what do you guys think is a black hole.

    i think its interdimentianl gate like the ones in stargate

  • The stargates aren't based on black holes, they're based on wormholes. There's a HUGE difference.

    Black holes are singularities. And if the LHC does its job, we could show gravity expands into one of the dimensions we don't directly experience, which is why its so much weaker than electromagnetism.

  • Why do you guys hate me cause i believe in God?

  • No, just keep that fairy-tale shit to yourself, if you don't mind.... I don't push my views on you, do I?

  • I didnt push my views on anyone just said I believe in God and everyone hates me. I didnt say anything about hating atheist either.

  • @nascarkam Loooool, you're even CALLED nascar... Sorry, but that's just too hillarious!

    Nobody hates you, but don't you see how it might be a bit dumb talking about god in the new scientist channel of ALL PLACES? That's just asking for it...

  • Lol I think You have a STRONG point there hahahahaha

  • @nascarkam Here is a funny quote about Religion by one of my favourite comics:

    If you believe in heaven, then why are you wearing a seatbelt? ;-D

  • Because the law requires me too. :P

  • lol

  • @nascarkam don't worry about other people. they feel like they have to through their opinions out there, because you did.

    they are either inferior or trolls

  • I dont hate u, but I can say you are narrow minded

  • @nascarkam haha no, we are different from believers :) we don't hate people that believes that kind of...things...unlike believers that consider atheists inmoral

  • so is this what would realy happen if you entered a black hole?

  • @mylesbradley1234 not sure! Either hend into a parrallel universe, either appear somewhere else in the universe, you would most likely simply die by the immense gravitation ^^

  • these are theories with evidence

  • Spaghettification.

    And yes, that is actually the formal term.

  • Cool!

  • 7 days.....

  • @JohnnyZoo 7 Days? D: lol

  • ... 4 days?

  • Way cool. But I hope I never have the experience of falling into a black hole.

  • You're component parts probably will but you will have been dead a very long time by that point.

  • @thanos64 isn't it? ah, my bad. I thought it was, oh well.

  • Interesting.

    I always wonder why they call it a black "hole", when it would obviously be a black "sphere" with the massive gravity being in the middle. Oh well.

  • To truly understand the "black hole" you just have to visits your local back alley every night.

  • reminds me of the ring

  • why the fuck would the black hole move?!

  • a: why wouldn't it?

    b: it isn't necessarily, just your vantage point (in that simulation)

    but again, why wouldn't it? and relative to what?

  • if it's a gravity sucking thing, then there's no way it will move...like it is the center of the frickin universe or something

  • A black holes is basically just a very massive object. It moves through space just as any other object (remember Newton's laws?) - they are remains of old stars.

    In this simulation you are actually spinning clockwise around the singularity, though.

  • tripping balls

  • But i though things got sucked into black holes, not warped around them.

  • read the comment I just made 5 seconds ago...

  • The light that does not get sucked in gets warped, the black spot is where the light is being sucked in.

  • gravitational lensing

  • @1exile1 you wanna be turned into pieces of spaghetti? Thats what happens when u enter a black hole apparently, when u travel into it your body turns into long pieces of string (string theory), when you come out the other end your body turns back to its original self. but obv u'd be dead.

  • That's not String Theory lol

  • some misunderstanding of scientific principles here

    what happens as you enter a black hole is that you die from the shearing forces way before "spaghettification" sets in. spaghettification is just the effect of a gravitational gradient, the same principle that causes tides on earth

    string theory is a completely different idea, and is merely used to describe what some consider to be the most basic building blocks... it is hoped that it will eventually lead to a unified theory

  • "when you come out the other end your body turns back to its original self."

    As has been pointed out, there's a little bit of misunderstanding in this post.

    You don't come out the "other end". A black hole isn't actually a hole. It's a dead star. You don't come out the other end, you collide with the star's "surface" and will probably not be leaving any time soon.

  • errr sorta...the star gets to about the size of a pinhead.

  • actually there are only theories whats at the blackhole's singularity, but at galaxy blackholes you can observer matter leaving the blackholes.

  • not exactly leaving the black hole. The matter that gets flung out was never inside the event horizon.

  • what? you think if a star dies it just lays there like a dead person? that you will collide with it??

    please remember that a star explodes before it dies :)

    and it leaves a gravitational void in the center..

  • can't they implode too?

  • why would they?

  • Stars can die without turning nebula/supernova/hypernova (they become white dwarves).

    Also, in the event of a star being so massive that the remains from the supernova becomes a black hole instead of a neutron star, the sheer gravity sucks everything back in again.

  • your point is?

  • That you generalised and was therefore factually incorrect.

    Also, stating it's a "gravitational void" would mean there's no gravity there, which was a linguistic error.

  • ok fine, not a gravitational void because i thought the void word would fit in....i mean some thing in the center.

    and isnt what i said just like yours? come on,

    after the star dies it becomes a black hole which is what i just said and what you said is the same!

  • ahhhh! Science! So much more beautiful than any made up god could ever be!

  • Comment removed

  • Scientists give the answer "we don't know, but we're trying to figure it out"

    Creationists give the answer "we know because a book says so, we don't need more proof than that"
