  • haha out of all the names for big he picted massive :)

  • he doesn't like thing that go bang........ he LOVES them.

  • Supernovas and now hypernovas? Is there a ludicrousnova?

  • Wait a second, if black holes are so dense that not even light can escape them, how do they release these massive gama ray jets?

  • @specialz118 Look up some videos on Quasars, it's the same principle.

  • @specialz118

    Because this light are still outside of the black hole. U dont see the black hole itself, u see the light circle around it.

  • that dude wants to bang a bang

  • This is garbage, its more entertainment than education. The suspense music, the dumbed down language, the animation.

  • what would i give just to get of this planet...

  • If you really want to know the truth about the universe I suggest you look up "tim tries to explain the universe." It will change your life.

  • I want a hypernova to go off up my ass.

  • his animation at around 2:00 was trippy as fuck.

  • very interesting :)

    

  • Shoop-Da-Whoop: IMMA FIRIN MAH LAZOR!!!!!! BBBLLAAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!

    Hypergiant Star: IMMA FIRIN MAH GAMMA BURSTS!!!!! BBLLLAAAARRGGGHHH!!!

    *gamma ray burst charges through and destroys the Shoop's laser*

    Shoop-Da-Whoop: NNNNNNUUUUU!!!!!!!! NOT MEEEEE!!!!!!! WHAT THE FU-

    *boom* BBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM!­!!!!

    Hypergiant Star: YEAH!!!!! Someone finally beat the Shoop-Da-Whoop!!

    Oh shit! NUU!!!!! I'm DYING!!!!!! DDDYYYIIIINNGGGG!!!!!! *blows up and becomes a black hole*

    Everyone: 0_o"

  • chikiwiki64 tells a joke

    Everyone: zzz

  • @rezadidhot167 -_-" Troll much? Bye.

  • The cycle of life and death continues - Nasus

  • i hate adds by google!

  • What's dark matter?

  • @Doomedeyez the stuff that holds clusters of galaxies in a web-like pattern. everywhere that isn't "web" is dark energy. voids are filled with dark energy and dark matter contain the clusters of galaxies together. dark matter only works on large scales so we don't feel it.

  • @Doomedeyez the opposite to matter, if they both collide there are massive explosions look it up, coz i may be wrong as i can only remember thats its the opposite to matter

  • @SuperRetardedPENGUIN I believe you're thinking of antimatter. But yes, when matter and antimatter collide they explode

  • @Doomedeyez We don't know yet.That's why it's called dark.It can be a number of things.

    Read up on it in wiki pedia!

  • I love space animations

  • That's what hulk eats.

  • and the mystery of the gama ray bursts was solved until they find out it was actually Chuck Norris the one behind it.

  • I don't understand why a "theory" solves this mystery?

  • The problem with trying to understand this is that our scientists do not understand what gravity is. They have not observed any 'gravitons' to this day. Understanding gravity may be the key to the whole thing.

  • The stars have squirrel aids...

  • I knew this phenomena that when stars die they form black holes

  • "Most stars live for about 10 billion years"

    Untrue, most stars are red dwarfs, living for up to a trillion years.

  • @funksolo i think he ment stars like our sun

  • So if the earth was in the way of the rays we would all turn into The Hulk right?

  • he loves things that bang

  • hahaha he loves things that bang

  • theres a star nursery i can send my (sun) there lol

  • so turns out that god created spiders AND this shit? yep, he's an ass alright

  • Stan Woosley: God?

  • ok so light and everything else cant escape the gravitational pull of a black hole but gamma rays can and what?... did the guy go around interviewing other stars? like "yea you know frank?... the big guy who lives just over on the other galaxy?... yea well he went and died the other day and this is how" lmao its hillarious. how can they say thats whats going on when the guy just came up with a theory... i got one two... i did it,... so makes sense huh? lmao

  • @CarpenterMH Gamma ray bursts shoot out at the point of inception of a black hole. They don't shoot out from an already living black hole.

    And theories are well-backed ideas with lots of evidence, anybody can make a theory, but it takes a lot of effort to create a well backed theory.

  • @CarpenterMH I would respect your opinion more, however you can't tell the difference between 'too' and 'two'.

  • Nerds :p

  • These massive stars have obviously studied under master roshi, they can perform kamehameha's.

  • assumptions, assumptions all assumptions.

  • I guess that star had SIDS...

  • how the hell could u dislike this vid?

  • @MrLimpykins If you are a fundamentalist Christian and you don't believe in stars

  • @f56789123 what's our sun then dickhead

  • @MrLimpykins I think you missed the sarcasm in my post

  • @f56789123 you can't have sarcasm in writing

  • @MrLimpykins i guess not, yeah

  • I don't see how this solves anything. What, because he says that's what happens, we're supposed to believe it?

    Can I see some proof?

    Shooting gamma rays out of black holes in concentrated beams, ok, but where's the damn proof?

  • @Bugsyboy333 there is loads of proof even pictures too . google it .

  • @leahcimrac lol

  • I don't get it, I thought that not even light can't escape the gravitational pull of a blackhole?

  • @TheDustFactory light cant gamma radiation can its different

  • @TheDustFactory the shit getting sucked in spins so fast it gives off light

  • @TheDustFactory actually it might be because it hadnt reached event horizion...

  • @TheDustFactory Light cannot escape from inside a black hole but the ycan from outside.

  • have you looked into our sun lately?? i wont go off but do some in depth research on what it is doing right now.

  • soo what there saying is if the sun gets too big we're screwed?

  • @rocksmash222 Yeah, when the sun gets to the later period of its life it will swell up and engulf the inner planets. But it will not happen in our time period, woo!

  • @rocksmash222 odds are that an asteroid about a mile long will hit out planet and destroy all life before that happens in a few billion year.

  • so that's why steam comes out of the ears when cartoons get angry

  • This isn't proof! This is only a hypothesis. No questions solved yet!!!! There is still other possibilities. The universe is full of unanswered mysteries.

  • @amazone174 That doesn't make for an interesting narrative though... Breaking news! We just uncovered an incredible....... hypothesis.

  • TEST THIS ON UNIVERSE SANDBOX.... YAY!!!

  • In just a million years.

  • some people have too much time on their hands

  • This makes sense. Most scientists believe that Canis Majoris (the biggest star discovered as of now) could erupt or cave in on itself (creating a massive black hole) in just a couple decades. Allthough Canis Majoris is about 6 trillion miles away from us, we could still get some weird activity from this star erupting.

  • im sure every star wants to hit earth

  • press 5 fast stutter much

  • advert...ummm i went straight to another video

  • Did this make the hulk?

  • @251lpm NOOOO

    You fart does make the hulk!

  • oh no its gunna only last like 5 billions years!! such a short time! -_-

  • interesting all these massive black goles at the edge of the universe - could they be pulling the uiverse outward - enough to explain the acceleration of the expansion - or are they too small and few?

  • fail there's no sound in space.... -.-

  • @Whazzakid

    Yes there is, but it isn't loud enough to hear it ;)

  • @SRADracer no there isn't....no atmosphere=no sound

  • @kmc4lfc

    Sound is a small difference in pressure, it has nothing to do with an atmosphere. You think there's a vacuum in space, but it's not 100% There are still a few molecules/m3. So there can be a very small pressure difference.

    Also there is sound on planets without an atmosphere, if you could walk on mars and someone would place his ear on the surface, he can hear you. Sound can travel trough solid/liquid material (thats why you hear things when your head is under water in a swimmingpool)

  • Wtf... That thing just ate itself, vomited itself up.... and everything goes all pew pew. Thats what happens whenever I eat at taco bell.

  • It's pathetic how people try to show some type of intellect when they have no idea

  • "I've got a revolutionary astronomical physics idea that could change how we perceive the universe!"

    -gets on legacy computer-

  • 3:06 Looks like Goku got into SS6! And made the 100x bigbangkamehameha... Neat..

  • Wait.So this guy likes explosions? Its the second coming of Michael Bay...

  • he sould call them Rock Stars. They live fast and die young.

  • @leahcimrac I guess elvis is like that

  • i find this video difficult to masterbate to

  • so mr I know know everything did u get any nobel prices for ur theory??

  • giant vagina in space?

  • cool i whant to be a scintes

  • @cf5138 you cant be a scientist if you cant spell science...soo have fun being a scintes :l

  • I wonder why there would be only 2 beams coming out of the black hole?

  • @Damaruth well, from what I understood, when the star collapses in on itself it creates a rip in time or a hole, a black hole but remember all the matter remaining from the star has to go somewhere so it enters the black hole with has a impressive gravitational pull and the gamma rays are spit out north and south, the center of the black hole is what making this 2 beams shoot out, now my questions is, how can gamma rays escape?

  • @76special The matter which is heated up to produce gamma rays, which would be gas/dust does not actually fall into the event horizon. In fact it is heated up rapidly just before falling into the event horizon causing the dust/gas to heat up millions of degrees, which will cause the matter to emit gamma rays

  • @76special the Gammy rays are radiated from the matter swirling around the black hole near, but not yet inside the event horizon. That is why they can escape.

  • how can gamma rays escape a black hole? i thought nothing can escape it..

  • @smittybang yep, not even light can escape a black hole because a black hole has enough energy to pull you to pieces and passing light bends towards the black hole and is sucked in

  • @zombiekiller09DF i know light can't escape it but i was under the impression gamma rays were faster than light.. my bad :3

  • @smittybang

    I think through hawking radiation

  • @smittybang It seems to be a reaction, when the matter of the star get sucked into the hole, the gammarays get accelerated out of the range of the black hole before passing the event horizon. I think we could imagine it like, when you lay down your hand flat onto the water and then push it down with much force, you pull the water in the direction of your hand and then some water gets catapulted in the air. It's just an idea it needn't to be correct. :)

  • @smittybang Gamma rays don't "escape" the black hole. They are what's ejected by everything close enough to be sucked in rather than pushed away by the immense power of the black hole.

  • @smittybang because when it grabs all it can the amount of pressure builds up and then it will be shot out so fast that even light cant keep up with it so its so powerful that it can blast though other galaxy's

  • @smittybang Chuck Norris did.

  • @smittybang The only way we can see black hole's is through radiation they emit. So it is more technically the matter that cannot escape. Not the energy.

  • @smittybang i dont think they escape it it just emanates from it maybe?

  • @smittybang The light doesn't escape from the black hole itself, but instead from matter just before it disappears into the black hole. **That from NASA itself**

  • @smittybang Material that's drawn near a black hole goes into orbit and it's thought that the combinations of circular motion and entrained magnetic field will cause it to shoot out as oppositely-directed jets from the black hole, overcoming even the gravity of the black hole. **also NASA**

  • @MrAODWay HA! so true xD

  • I'd love to see a hypernova

  • am i the only one who got an ad for a company called semens

  • @weeyowee97 it's siemens, but yeah, you probably were, it was just for you. don't you feel special?

  • @weeyowee97 Siemens?

  • Cue epic music! 02:13

  • kaboom

  • That's funny i just saw an advert attached to media from the bbc...they are supposed to be publicly funded aren't they?

  • @starstuff69 That's youtube, BBC don't make any money from it.

  • i dont get it.

  • LOL I dont wanna be in that place its like being disintegrated to a pile of ....

  • dude you are awsome subscribe i am a nerd too you should play a game called bully:scholarship edition its really fun and play assassinscreed brotherhood too it is fun and friend me

  • i guess the bigger they are, the harder they fall.

  • It is in the best interests of America, in order to preserve and build the national economy and protect national security, to start making major investments in renewable sources of energy. Less pollution, of course, would be an added benefit.

  • @AFAJEIOJAWFKNWE fuck the benefits and interests of america ;)

  • i make big bangs giggity :P

  • so woosely, you've discovered a new type of star, what are you going to call it? a woosely star? no. I call it a massive star.

    *physics face palm*

  • @shewdz26 And then he makes a creativity straining new name for the exploding star: hyper-nova. Wow, so we know its bigger than a super-nova at least.

  • @shewdz26 That's a stupid comment, he doesn't say anything about naming it after himself.

  • Só queria saber onde comprar este DVD. E se tem na linguagem português.

  • Sounds good for the death of anyone in my series.

  • for now you all are right about oil, but it s a fact that we are using oil for energy only because of its easy availability and effective methodologies that we have developed to convert it into energy. other energy sources like solar, wind, nuclear and hydrogen is not in perspective only for its not efficient for now due to lack of tech but i guess with proper research we will replace oil one day.

  • i like music at 3:00 .

  • @tomanaki yeah, the theme from 'capricorn 1' by Jerry Goldsmith. Fab isn't it.

  • Fossil fuels are winners because of this formula:

    cost effectiveness = energy density / cost per volume.

    Fossil fuels have both advantages. They are the most energy-dense common substances short of nuclear fuel, and producing boatloads is relatively cheap. Wind and solar power are inherently low-energy-density, and at the moment they are not cheap enough to beat fossil fuels in the above formula.

  • @DoctorFrogger If you change your formula to :- cost effectiveness = (energy density/cost per unit) / environmental impact. Fossil fuels loss to most other forms of energy. In the end the only formulary that is looked at are cost to profit ones. And as the oil companies don’t pay for the damage there products are responsible for and nether do we as consumers. These cost to profit formulas is meaningless.

  • @tina6581 I would argue that even by your formula fossil fuels are better. How much of the Earth's surface would have to be covered by wind mills or solar panels to generate the same amount of energy as fossil fuels? How much environmental damage would that do?

  • @optionqb thats a spurious argument mate. As you are assuming that if fossil fuel was taken off line we would continue to use power in the same way we do now. All the evidence suggests that when power is in limited supply it is used differently to when it is in surplus. The same modelling outcomes occur when you change the power supply. Huge change. Also look at Southampton. The power station there run by hot rock is tiny. The oil refinery massif. Almost the same power output by both.

  • @tina6581 If you are going to assume that supply decreases, then, no, we would not use power in the same quantities because it would be more expensive. But your claim is that non-fossil fuels are more cost effective socially. I'm saying that is not the case (or at least might not be the case) given the same level of energy use.

  • @optionqb Yes I understand that. But all the models I have seen explanations of don’t support that. Unless you ignore the down the line costs. You use a hot rock power station it has almost no impact in the commissioning and decommissioning. The use of fossil fuel just goes on and on. I drilled in Croydon on the old gas works. We got very high responses from deposits of gas waste from the 1830s though to post ww2. You run a petrol engine on the ground I can find the footprint ten years latter.

  • @tina6581 Ok, so EGS/DHR technology leaves no carbon footprint and are ostensibly just as profitable as fossil fuels. This is what you're saying? If this is truly the case, then I look to see private energy companies on it. Again, I'm no expert, but if these technologies can totally supplant fossil fuel technology AND meet worldwide demand for energy, then great. I'm a little skeptical though.

  • @optionqb Well mate I was a environmental driller for some time and lthough I don’t clam to be and expert ether. The drill and thermal technology guys I met where adamant on the cost/unit figures on hotrock. Also if you live near a large body of water and use a thermal exchange unit for your heating is free after five years. The house I lived in in Norway was heated this way. I fitted the pipe work in a five acre pond for a three bed house some time back and it has zero cost heating now.

  • this is the 19th mormon commercial i've seen in 30 minutes. leave me alone.

  • 1:22 "The fast livers of the stellar lane." I love how you can see the look of despair on his face at having made such a rubbish metaphor.

  • The gamma ray jets that leave a black hole are formed tangent to the event horizon by matter that is collapsing into the black hole. They are not escaping the event horizon because they never crossed it to begin with. A gamma ray inside the event horizon cannot escape any more than light can.

  • @whatwhatwhatwhat1000 AHAHAH but really if light cant escape black holes surley gamma ray bursts cant.............

  • @musoaus You should start learning Astrophysics, Gamma rays have more force than light, it doesn't go faster, just stronger. This fact is why Gamma Rays have been found coming FROM black holes. This fact was discovered 30 years ago, and our teachers still haven't been told to teach the truth. The education system is bullshit, nearly a full quarter of it has been proven wrong, from invisiblity, to black holes to a star's lifecycle.

  • @Deliphin11 ic thats interesting, sorry i was told that nothing can escape black holes

  • @musoaus That's okay, the education system is fucked up, they're like 20 years behind when it comes to science, about 40% of the stuff you learn in science class has been proven wrong.

  • @Deliphin11 Well the biology teacher was talking about mesosomes when i promply stoped him stating that it is proven to not actually be an organelle but only there because the speciman was prepared wrong.

  • @musoaus Yeah.. I can't agree or disagree if you're right, I know less in biology than I do in engineering.

  • How will it bang , there is no sound in space :|

  • @musoaus yes there is u just need to clean ur ears LOL

  • The Earth has gas.. OIL, and we fucking take it, we are destroying this planet, Nibiru or asteroids wont be the end of the world. WE will

  • @HaCkeerZ Actually, oil will kill us in about 5-10 years, next year there's a global meteor shower that will go for literally the entire year.

  • @Deliphin11 That's the stupidest shit I've ever heard. I'll place $1 Trillion on that bet.

  • @SniperViper1000 Look, I got the global meteor shower thing from astronomers and astrophysicist, blame them, and the oil thing is because people are too lazy to learn to hunt for food and to change to electricity.

  • @Deliphin11We can't support 6.8 billion people on hunting food the only reason we have that many people is because of OIL!! Also electricity is NOT an energy source. We get electricity from... wait for it... Fossil fuels. Solar and Wind power can't run your car.

  • @tvrsaint By Electricity, I meant power from solar and wind. Wind alone might not have the power, but Solar alone definitely does, Replace ALL the area taken up by Solar panels and add a few extra, you're generating EXTRA power! Solar Panels are more powerful than you think, so is Wind, one family (unknown location) has two wind collectors (Forgot name somehow) and it powers their entire house, and more for storage! Now imagine that 10 times, that's solar power!

  • @Deliphin11 I agree with you completely. I understand that solar and wind can be an answer to solve the energy crisis when it comes to provide clean power. However our whole way of life is entirely dependent on cheap fossil fuels. Solar and Wind cannot offset the decline of oil.

  • @tvrsaint Solar and Wind may offset the decline if enough people change to it, but that will take a while because so much of america is oil-dependant, Canada too, but not as much.

  • @HaCkeerZ Wrong, BIOTCH! We're maknig the planet better not destroying it. Can you prove oil is destroying the planet?

  • @SniperViper1000 Climate Change, Deforestation, pollution, oil spills, changing the face of the earth more in the last 50 years than in the entire time the planet has been around before that. Want me to list more on how oil is destroying the planet?

  • @tvrsaint Cliamte Change is not proven to be caused by "oil." There's no said and done fact about Climate Change. It could be caused by anything. Deforestation is the result of developing economies looking for a resource of which can be used for expliotion to gain money. Rich enviroments are the luxuries of rich economies. Look at Brazil. It uses barely any oil. Deforestation is high. Pollution? That's caused by alot of different sources, not just oil. Oil spills? Before the BP it was bad....

  • @tvrsaint However now it's not. Infact, the BP oil Spill wasn't even that bad. Far from what was predicted. Thanks to that oil spill though. We're ready for future ones.

    Now let me tell you what OIL has greated us with:

    Computers, Spaceship, Modern Medicine, The Automobile, Heat, Back-up generation (Deisel generators), Jobs, Economies, Cellphones, Saviour of millions, Agriculture Revolution, Green Revolution, Modern Vehicular Transportation, Modern Achievements, Games, Food, cheap prices..

  • @tvrsaint

    Conviences, Television, Advancements in Arms, Raising the qulaity of life for millions.. no... billions. Without oil this whole green shit going on would've never happened. It could be reponsible for us having life spans of 100. Who knows? All I know is that, unlike you, I'm not paranoid.

  • What a way to go out, live to only be an infant in star time yet cause an explosion with a radius in the light years.

  • oh creeby

  • things that go mmmmm XD

  • It covers the subject well, but wastes a lot of time on dramatic music over everyday visualizations.  The subject is interesting enough without that. No need to gild the lily.

  • wow this goes on quite a few times in one day(so ive heard)and did anyone else know that if a gamma ray would get close to the milky way then it would be completely singed but luckily none have come anywhere close to us because they just die out while it is traveling through the universe and that none will come anywhere near for millions and millions of years to come(apparently(but hey what the fuck do they know lol))

  • fuck global warming!!

  • What a way to die. ;p

  • @E245Productions Well...the thing is that according to the string theory...well...the only way to comunicate with other branes would be through gravity so...i don't know I had a very weird dream about strings and branes and whatnot just a few days ago...it doesn't compare to the one i had yesterday. On the scale of weirdness...it was a 8, 1 being a walk in the park 10 being torn apart in hell over and over again without dying while people is walking around fleshless as if it was nothing.

  • @thehornypuppy nice name btw

  • what if it was a big star with alot of fule :3

  • <
