Black Hole at the Galactic Core

[MrMrShobear]

Who searched the following key words "galactic core" after playing a certain sequence in mass effect 2

lol <3

[CircusofPython]

Isn't there also the Collector Base at the Galactic Core?

[PaulXPZ]

@CircusofPython yeah and there's also a dodgy mass relay around, be sure to have that IFF handy if you want to go sightseeing...

[adam11mpls]

@PaulXPZ Gotta be careful of those Reapers......

[adam11mpls]

@CircusofPython Shepard blew it up.

[CyberPhyco398]

If they think that we will eventually spiral into the "black hole" in the core, then I estimate it would atleast take 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000­,000,000,000,000,000,000 years to get there. So...Yeah.

[rotagen5]

Apparently space is filled with new age elevator music....I'm travelling to another universe.

[marlothedrugmule]

is a black hole round and flat or spherical? dumb question but just wondering, like does it look flat which ever angle u would aproach it from, still trying to get my head round black holes they confuse me lol

[GalacticKitten]

@marlothedrugmule That's something that we don't know for sure, because you can't image one directly. But in all likelihood they are circular, but would appear flat. Of course we can't see it directly, but they often have disks of gas orbiting around them (called accretion disks), which can give a very rough idea to their shape. If you could see one in 3-D, it would resemble a cone, where the point is the singularity. I'm an astronomy masters student, and I still find them confusing sometimes =)

[R4Zy3L]

Pretty unbelievable that a small thing like that can keep our huge galaxy in it's spiral form and spinning.

[pnd97]

It's so amazing to me that we have the technology to actually see the center of our own galaxy and track the orbits of the central stars around the SMBH.

This feat would have been unthinkable 20 years ago, heck black holes were even just mathematical constructs (or extrapolations) in those dark ages.

[vogelkillyou]

i thought this was a spore video -.- hehe :]

[PREDAL1ENWARRIOR]

@vogelkillyou so did i,lol

[kamur]

Cool!

[JAWSHOEWAA]

@ 2:27, is that the planet of the crossing?

[pipwalter77]

Time slows down as you approach the black hole, as your speed increases to near light speed your perception of time would slow to a crawl and you would have plenty of time to think about what's going on as you pass the event horizon and

continue with your being compacted into oblivion!

[MrSilver222]

Galactic core is nothing but exploding suns and black holes

[rspawn]

Galactic Core video'd.

Epic Win for the Astronomers.

[teedan89]

whats the music btw?

[SkunkHunt]

Good thing black holes aren't real, cause we'd be in a lot of trouble! The only black hole that actually exists is the Federal Reserve

[Palafico3]

Fuck you asshole. how else would the galaxy stay together? black holes ARE real. there are none that are REALLY close to us.

[melis256]

@Palafico3

I hope that SkunkHunt Falls into an event horizon of a black hole.

And lucky us that there REALY aren't any black holes in our vissinity.

[JAWSHOEWAA]

Not yet, we are making our way to one.

[2011FindTheTruth]

lol great post, and i seriously agree with you that other than the one in the reserve, they don't exist. Hopefully one day the academic mistake of black holes is realized.

[GalacticKitten]

@2011FindTheTruth it's no mistake! There is a lot of evidence to support them, and they have been indirectly imaged, like the one shown here. Also, we can see disks of matter that are falling into stellar mass black holes. While they are a seemingly impossible existence, we have enough evidence to back it.

[2011FindTheTruth]

@GalacticKitten

There might be some evidence to support them, but it has not come close to actually being proven. Many scientists support the idea that a "black hole" is a really heavy condensed star that has collapsed into tiny dense matter at the bottom of the well (the singularity I guess).

[tcuk]

Fake.

The Sun revolves around Earth which is flat.

You damn witches will be burnt at the stakes.

[stargen5]

Nonsense! You don't know what you are talking about. Earth is carried by a big bearded man in toga...and he stands on a big turtle, and so on downwards...with many many monsters...

[hazgown]

@stargen5 Correct!

[deathbringer187]

@stargen5 O.o XD

[pschodog3]

@stargen5

Dude it is turtles all the way down

[lanamail98]

@stargen5 which century are you live in?

[minecraftaltair]

@stargen5 wha....?

[faxegy]

re: "fake - tcuk"

have you considered just "tcuking off!" ?? :-)

[yomangr]

hahahaahhaha

[elvino000]

It's a bow-wow-wow shock because it looks like the bow-bow-bow of an aircraft making a shock wave in a medium like air-air-air, in a wind tunnel (& you can say that three times too). Woof woof woof!

[nystagmus]

homer simpson: "HOLY MACERONI!"

[sinwow33]

Therefore would it be correct to think that it is the space in which the light travels that is pulled into the black hole like I said?

[MaDrung]

Study relativity Einstein came up with.

Gravity bends time and space, just like the speed of an object bends time.

So actualy because of bended time and space the light which has no direct attraction to gravity falls into black hole, because it bends the space so much, that it redirects it into itself.

[FasterThenWind]

Also, in a black hole, No time or space exists in it, so for example 5 seconds in a black hole could be 5 minutes outside of it. Not only that, but when your close enough to a black hole you brain will get "confused" with all this gravity, and with the light pulled in, you don't see straight anymore, you will basically see the back of your head,

[MaDrung]

If time doesn't exist in black hole, then 5 sec can't be 5 min, because the only answer is infinity.

And I'm not sure if time completely stops also.

I think it goes like this: The more speed you have, the faster the time goes. And bigger the gravitational field, the slover time goes. So time might almost stop going, but still is going, because otherwise there would be no way of black hole containing the gravitational pull.

[FasterThenWind]

No, i actually checked up with a scientist, and my professor, and he said that time does exists but in finite amounts, so basically its almost like time doesnt exist

[Darkfoster22]

FasterThenWind.

What is time, as you live with it does it not go by faster? I tell time is not what you see on a clock, time changes it self but also it changes the clock...But why does it feel it pass's faster for all people? Because people are going some place other then matter.

[KingWing777]

@Darkfoster22 time flys when you sleep. does that mean our spirit is leaving the body? after all its just energy....

[FasterThenWind]

i meant as in, it might feel for you like 5 seconds, but could be 5 minutes in reality.

[sinwow33]

They say that black holes also trap light because they have such a strong gravitational pull. However, this seems odd to me because photons have no mass and therefore should not be affected by gravity. So my question is how is this possible? Is it in actual fact just pulling in the space in which the light travels and this getting the light also?

[skax]

Don't worry nobody understands that. Is one BIG question to black holes.

[Thymonico]

Light doesn't have any mass, so does not inflict any gravity - but gravity is the curvature of spacetime and photons have to move through spacetime, thus is affected by it. ;)

[JayDay111]

Its a "bow shock". Pronounced like bow and arrow... because i looks like a bow. Definitely not "Bauw" lol

[poopie4521]

i didnt understand at first but after watching it 2 to 3 times i quickly understood the entire movie, and over time we have been able to develop extremely strong telescopes and satalites that can now give us information about the universe instead of only knowing about Earth

[clockwise28786]

is this a good or bad thing cause i dont want to be sucked into a scary whole

[Neso906]

Good or bad, we are going to collide with Andromeda in 5 billion years, and we'll all be sucked into the megasupermassive black hole that is created xD

[Smoking799]

thx for the upload

mind blowing like always when I think about it

[bubbs0643]

Lol google earth

[SkateRocKeszti]

nice,

[NAMLegolas]

Very nice, makes me want to watch in High Definition :P

[galaxi0]

Wonderful. Impressive. Clearly explained. Great video. Thanks.

[jpagel]

and yes you could see black holes bending light. you can't see the black hole itself, but you can see the effects it has on matter and light around it.

[fabbio8888]

In fact I wonder why we don't see any bend of orbits we see. Not a distorsion, despite the fact that stars go usefully in every direction in good available data. That's all.

[GalacticKitten]

@fabbio8888 if we were to replace the sun with a black hole of the same mass, our orbit wouldn't change. So the only distortions that are seen are the gravitationally bent light rays from objects behind them.

[fabbio8888]

There is a very useful mistake: when he says "if we could get near enough we would see the black hole bending the light". Nope, every object, far and near, bends the light. He probably meant "we would see the event horizon".

The video is wonderful but it should be s falsification of black holes, the facts tell a different story than the speaker say. Black holes is a doubtful theory that fails every prediction and prove. It only gets patched every time. Like this unfair attempt on this video.

[jpagel]

you're completely and utterly wrong. black holes are not theory anymore... they're proven factual objects. read up on it next time before you try and sound smart.

[fabbio8888]

Ok. This is what I am talking about. It's not true what you write. In fact it's impossible to find any document of this ghost proof.

[BillyTheKD]

Black holes are one of the several results found from the special relativity equations created by Einstein and researched by a huge quantity of scientists. They do exist mathematically at least, we just need to gather tons of data to prove OR deny them.

It's the same way with the Bing Bang, its still just a theory, but the one best accepted due to all the simmilarities found between theory and research.

What else could exist in the galactic core so massive and emitting so much radiation then?

[fabbio8888]

I agree, except for the fact that black holes come from general, not special relativity. What else could exist? Well since ever, humans had this question. It's good to make theories but what I'm saying is that there is an attempt to pretend black holes are proven.

[DannyQDempsey]

Neat! :-)

[cathevans58]

WOW!

[ROTFLOLer]

This is Fickin google earth.

[nevermore1000]

Great video.

[KUNGFUGANGSTA86]

fuckin liar
