  • @bake3020 YEH! a religious person on a science channel, i'm loving these death knells. The reason why you people come to these channels is simple. Religion is intrinsically protective, in the face of inhalation you are compelled to protect your texts because they are written in a way to be protective, blackmailing you, using the Devil, sins, et al.

    A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back.

    - Proverbs 29:11 And thats why we don't argue with you, Good day.

  • Black holes are scientific fantasies. 

  • @shaktir4u Great - can you offer an alternative solution to the observed phenomena? With the maths, please.

  • There is no proof of black holes...

  • ..does they ever read what they say... Black hole is infinitly small and then a a companion sun will make it grow..-> think.. its the eventhorizon that grows and gravity -not the Hole itself.- newscientist need newer scientist

  • I feal depressed after he explained what it would be like to go in to a black hole :(

    tumbs up if you felt the same...

  • Just like your mom...

    lol

  • Just like your moms...

    lol

  • it would be realy cool if you combibne an antimatter black hole and an normal black hole

  • Only two things are infinite. The universe, and human stupidity. (Einstein)

  • great vid, now i know a lot more :)

  • The image of being slowly ripped apart, falling into oblivion, sounds poetic. Painful, yes, but quite a powerful way to die, leaving time itself and slipping into some deep lasting darkness.

  • isn't when we can see large masses of the matter coming out of the black hole called a quarzar?

  • what happens when you enter the singularity is the real question.............

  • @tom5343 i think it would rip you apart... wouldn't really matter were you end up then???

  • @BrainBlowers well obviously through Chuck Norris down and see what he says when he comes out lol

  • cut what happens if you look up or down just before you enter the 'ring'? HUH? WHAT THEN, BOFFINS?

  • the surface of water is two dimensional, yes? but a vortex created by a plug hole is a three dimensional phenominon. well that's what i think black holes are. gaps in the three dimensional fabric of space, creating a four dimensional vortex that we, being three dimensional, cannot fully appreciate. all i wonder is where it leads to.

  • @lygophile tell that to a scientist and you might just get a nobel

  • @plinggotchi. i'm calling the patent office now. ;)

  • My god, too many stupid comments

    my head is going to explode

  • @ThatsSoBS or implode

  • @WhiteSerpentz No, you clearly don't

    If there is no evidence for the existence of particles faster than light, then we can "assertively" conclude that light is the fastest thing in the universe.

  • Research Nassim Haramein

  • are black holes gonna cure cancer? NO OF COURSE NOT

  • Besidesthe dieing part, wouldn't it he awesome to go into the singlearity?

  • Fabric of space time is real? fucking awesome.

  • Black holes scare me! :O

  • Brilliant video!

  • Black hole == a division by 0 in the fabric of the Universe.

  • Black holes are terribly interesting. This video, however, the polar opposite.

  • how comes that falling into a black hole is described the same way like near-death-experiences?

  • @sp4zzpp2 Due to gravity, your relative time is dilated to a limit of infinity. This causes everything outside of your relative time to appear to me moving infinitely fast.

    Near-death-experiences are often described as "your life flashing before your eyes."

    With such significant differences between your time and the external time, you would see the universe flash by to it's end

  • Cheers for the vid, most interesting!

  • So, if at least one Black Hole's activity doesn't cease, it will swallow everything that there is in the whole Universe?

    When I mean whole, I'm considering that the Universe is limited (for the smartasses that would come trolling after).

  • @in5secs well all black holes could coalesce into one gigantic one, but it would eventually fall apart because black holes give off energy and matter, slowly but they do. so eventually the universe would just once again restart.

  • @doomsday1157 restart is not an accurate representation of what will likely happen to the universe. Look up heat-death

  • @in5secs NO, Black hole activities will always cease because every black hole will eventually evaporate and dissipate back into space.

  • @bake3020 did you not see the video? the collapse of very dense stars will produce a black hole.

  • greats video def new scientists best since i subscribed

  • Every time I hear the term "black hole" I think of Neil Tyson DeGrasse orgasming about the spaghettification process. XD

  • Point of no return? Are you sure it's not a time machine in space?

  • Is there but one singularity and each black hole a doorway to that singularity? It makes no sense that whatever enters a black hole, is destroyed and no longer exists; it is more likely that this energy is recycled and could become new universes; a big bang in another dimension.

  • @rollsthepaul since when can we send shit outside our solar system? if a black hole was close enough that we could send a camera into we be fuuuuuuuucked

    and what this guy said "Thing is: even Radiowaves or whatever you use to communicate with the cam will be sucked into the black hole. And that what makes this project senseless."

  • but tey cant answer the big one. why dont they send a monkey camera through one finally. HELLO?

  • @Ratama

    You would have to have connection with this cam to check on the data.

    Thing is: even Radiowaves or whatever you use to communicate with the cam will be sucked into the black hole. And that what makes this project senseless.

  • *sigh* Listen. I'm gonna make this clear to the very small portion of the internet watching this:

    Black doesn't always mean skin!

    I know, I know. It may take some time to sink in, but it will make sense soon enough.

    Honestly, is there going to be a colour spectrum with red, yellow, blue, green, white, and african-american?

  • i doubt that light is the fasting thing in the universe. maybe on earth it is, but not in the universe.

  • @theanzer it's the fastest thing in the universe.

  • I heard one theory for someone, falling into a black hole (brace yourself!!):

    At first you'd feel a rather comfortable sensation of being stretched; then you're gonna be sucked in, meaning (because of the deformed space-time continuum) something like the Star Wars III's Tatooine traps: you'd experience eternal abscission of your body parts for thousands of years, getting worse and worse, at the same time slower and slower, the more time passes...

  • @Tressco Your eyes basically take a picture very often and shows it to your brain, which puts together all of the recent pictures to make a moving image. Because a black hole would slow everything down, your eyes would take these pictures less often, and your brain would process these images slower. You would also think slower resulting in it appearing as though everything is moving at a normal speed.

  • i don't like black holes, is a name too racist :p

  • @Faustoteinmor if black pple is all u think about when u hear the word black then that makes u racist.

  • @Faustoteinmor I agree. I call them afro-american holes.

  • i just cant understand black holes but i love science and time

  • 2:09 "stars dust, and dark matter" so has the existence of dark matter been proven conclusive now?

  • time does not exist.

  • @DiogoE6 Then you don't exist.

  • Jesus Christ, you people are fucking stupid, I swear, YoutTube has one of the worst userbases on the internet.

  • @Dazg10

    This kind of constructive commentary and sophisticated rhetoric with such a clear contextual references is probably going to bring peace over all mankind. Thank you for these words of wisdom.

  • @Dazg10 I don't know... have you seen Yahoo! Answers yet? :D

    But you're right, there are some really dumb people here, spamming the world with their useless opinions.

  • @Dazg10 this comment not only makes you a hypocrite but also explains that you are also terrible for being a user of the 'worst userbase on the internet'.

  • @nickhashair nice fallacy brosef.

  • @Dazg10 I doubt that the userbase for youtube is any more stupid than the userbase for facebook

  • @Dazg10 Collegehumor and [rule 1 and 2] have worse userbases.

  • @Dazg10 Thats cause it practicaly has the largest userbase on the internet, lol.

  • @Dazg10 And its obvious to me you dont think very much of yourself, and to many you saying this is kind of ironic

  • 0:47

    Wtf...haven't you ever heard of the Law of Conservation of Matter, that states that matter can't be created or destroyed?

  • @ALAPAT1 vanish doesn't mean it is destroyed. Since the gravitational pull at the event horizon is larger than the speed of light we can never see the object after it has passed the boundary since light cant come back past the event horizon.

  • @ALAPAT1 then its not destroyed... it's displaced.

  • @ALAPAT1 Wow are you an idiot...

  • @ALAPAT1 I think that most everyone here is aware of Lavoisiere's law. It's just that you don't seem to fully understand neither what Conservation of Matter means, nor how black holes are proposed to work.

    1. Matter can very well be destroyed - namely when it is being transformed into energy. See: nuclear reaction, matter/antimatter annihilation, etc. This is in perfect agreement with Lavoisier.

    2. Quantum mechanics teaches us that matter can also be created by means that defy Conservation.

  • 3. The above is just FYI, since black holes do not destroy matter, nor do they transform it into energy. They merely compress it, and remove it from our "cone of causality" by hiding it behind an event horizon. The matter is still there, having lost none of its mass. Neatly conserved for eternity.

  • "banish forever into the singularity" what? so the laws of physics do not apply to blackholes anymore? does that mean the total energy in blackholes are zero? does that mean matter will turn into anti-matter?

  • @fixingbraincell the laws of physics never applied to black holes. a singularity is outside the laws of physics. its more mass than should be able to exist in its given volume.

  • scary .. what would it be really like to fall into a black hole .. T_T

    my dcik will be longer anyway .. :))

  • @Nullstr1ng It would be longer for about a nanosecond. Then it would immediately be ripped into its constituent molecules.

    Sadly, no one will ever be able to experience what it feels like to fall into a back hole. You would be long dead before you would notice any relativistic changes to the universe around you. While the hole itself probably doesn't radiate much, the radiation from its accretion disk is said to be incredibly deadly.

  • @Nullstr1ng

    Wow, okay. So as you're flying toward a black hole in deep space, most likely frozen and probably dead, you're best thought is to lunge at it crotch-first? While there definitely exists some more painful ways on making "things" longer, you'd better be quick to gloat about it within the 0 seconds you'll be conscious.

  • Black Holes suck ...

  • @Poolshrrrk they suck oneway and blow the other

  • @Oxydox

    U r jumping to conclusions, using meagre information as a starting point, then letting your prejudices carry u the rest of the way. U should consider a career in academia - u will fit right in

  • ...and this can be used to rescue people.

  • @UserNamei5 lol yes but oh Well you knoW What a joke it is? no? then may be you need to add more things to listen in your life like your luagh, just joking dude :D

  • pure science fiction. Assumptions piled upon theories, built upon suppositions and in the end modelled in HD using flashy graphics and declared to be self evident. How many of u newscientist followers actually do real research? i mean real research, by yourselves, self-directed, not funded and administered and managed by an institution? hmm. thats what i thought. Now find out whos behind Newscientist if u care about knowledge.

  • @ouijaboy666 Wherever I've searched info on black holes on the Internet,in 95% of the cases they start with "It is assumed that;If we assume that etc..."I haven't seen anywhere to be said that this is solid evidence of the characteristics of a black hole.One thing is for sure,the info that they exist is true.

    I don't have the funds nor the time to do real research,so I'm satisfied with what I can read,but I don't say that I believe it as the absolute truth.Chill dude,at least graphics are cool.

  • @Mishakis

    tell u where there is one black hole: mathematical physics. Money goes in and nothing of substance comes out. U don't need to have money to find out if the claims r true: those who make it up r supposed to offer proof. Instead, we go on a wild math goose chase while we try to fathom their models. MathPhysics is supposed to b a way of understanding nature. But u will end up spending all your time merely trying to understand mathphysics. Dont' confuse the explanans with the explanandum

  • @ouijaboy666 "MathPhysics is supposed to b a way of understanding nature. But u will end up spending all your time merely trying to understand mathphysics."

    Well... we do understand it. Stop complaining just because you don't.

  • @ouijaboy666 why would they lie? u sound paranoid.

  • I think new scientist realized its audience consists of 95% morons, therefore moved to solve these 'puzzling' questions for them...

  • All i heard was...

    SUPER MASSIVE BLACK HOLE..

  • @Lachy101 Yo momma? XD

  • these are primary school facts

  • The singularity is pseudoscientific nonsense. Physics does not divide by zero. Only in incorrect *theories* of physics does that happen.

  • @tmtyler Not really pseudoscience, but just a label on information we do not yet know. Perhaps a new theory will arise from string theory... but for now we have no distance scale to use.

  • @tmtyler

    1. You do not need to divide by zero in order to get a singularity.

    2. Irrespective of the above, it is very well permissible to divide by zero under specific circumstantces, in several scientific disciplines, including physics, and even pure mathematics. Though it is rare, it's not as forbidden as laymen like you believe.

    3. If 100% of all scientists accept it as a fact, then it's not pseudoscience. Even if it turns out wrong, it's still a valid scientific concept.

  • @tmtyler Since you are not a scientist, you should inform yourself about the differences between "valid but wrong" and "pseudoscience". If a theory has been arrived at via the Scientific Method, then it is valid science, even if it later turns out to be wrong. True pseudoscience selectively ignores already established scientific concepts. Telepathy, acupuncture, homeopathy, Christian science, are examples of pseudoscience. Singularities are not.

  • @Timrath Pseudoscience is a claim, belief, or practice which is presented as scientific, but which does not adhere to a valid scientific methodology, lacks supporting evidence or plausibility, cannot be reliably tested, or otherwise lacks scientific status. Singularity beliefs lack supporting evidence - and cannot be reliably tested - and so neatly qualify as "pseudoscience".

  • @tmtyler Good job on coyping Wikipedia without acknowledging your source (once again, this shows that you are not a scientist).

    Singularity does not qualify "neatly" as pseudoscience, since it only fulfills one of the criteria - namely that it cannot be "reliably tested." However, nothing in astrophysics can be reliably tested, so that criterion has traditionally been waived for that particular discipline.

    As for evidence: you don't accept mathematical congruity as evidence?

  • @Timrath Only one? Extrapolating *far* beyond experimental evidence and a physical theory dividing by zero don't count as evidence for crackpottery, I suppose. Astrophysics is proper science - but singularities are junk science.

  • very interesting and educative

    thank you

  • If you where ever to get close to a blackhole the strength of the gravity would actually tear you into pieces and you would enter as a thin line of matter

  • Probably the best video I've ever seen from New Scientist. It was informative and very straightforward.

  • This is some well-presented, straight forward simply info about black holes. It may be too speculative for some, or too rudimentary, but I think it's great.

  • Five black hole puzzles answers get from another shows since 1970.we know the same

  • time is not as you infer , its relative to the measurement and constant to speed e a foot is a foot in what ever space matter is condensed and speed that dose not change time in a constant measured distance , ,the understanding of curved space (rotation) and time being measured in a curved it has difference periods and distances because of circumstance time is a straight line, matter how ever is not restrained by time it can change , can man

  • I cant but ponder that black holes are wormholes to somewhere, sometime. They are abviously tunnels but we just have no idea to what exactly....

  • @questionsleadtotruth They are not tunnels, or holes. They were named "Black Holes" only because they look like holes. At the center of every black hole is a collection of infinitely condensed matter.

  • @questionsleadtotruth white holes

  • No puzzles answered here, sorry -1

  • repost

  • what puzzles were answered in this video? all of it has been well established and known for a long time...

  • help us Chuck Norris

  • This could be used.... to kill everythang

  • damn nature, you scary

  • @falcon02012 the Amish will be laughing their butts off in a few decades when were all dead. ahh ha ha ha ha

  • The merging of singularities must be one for the most epic events in the universe.

  • to push the envelope i think black holes may be responsible for the big bang. all matter is funnelled back to the beginning of time, and recycled.and that's all i have to say about that.

  • no i dont believe i am mis -imformed.i have been following this debate for quite sometime. about 30 years and there is no hard evidence just speculation from data. extrapolation is not fact. and many researchers agree that certain wavelenghs do escape and are also emitted. how else do you think that we can detect them.

  • @Zendishwasher1 Clearly, you are misinformed. redbeast2 explained it to you. I suggest you read it again.

  • @WhiteSerpentz

    "A tachyon is a hypothetical subatomic particle... no experimental evidence for the existence of tachyon particles has been found"

  • blackholes? more like ASSholes :D

  • Perhaps trillions of years form now, black holes could be an accidental solution to our rapidly growing universe.

  • what a lot of bull. the misinformation in this is riff. one not all light cannot escape. x- ray and other wavelenghts can. what little we do know is just theory. i hate the way these scientist promote their work as if it was absolute fact.

  • @Zendishwasher1

    X-rays cannot escape from within the "event horizon" of any black hole, just like visible light cannot. What you're misinformed about is that when matter gets super heated close to a black hole, it starts to give off X-ray radiation. This, however, does NOT come from within the event horizon.

  • Fuck yes, who needs religion when our real world has these fuckers?

  • This is also what happens when you divide by zero.

  • This is more interesting than the optical illusions hands down.

  • i feel lucky to be alive now, not 2000 years ago when everyone believed in religion. I can only imagine how awesome it will be living in 2000 years from now.

  • I'm not afraid of black holes. We have Chuck norris.

  • I wouldn't compare it with a sink simply because it give people a false two-dimensional perspective.

  • @GrimSoul66 awesome comment.

    

  • @GrimSoul66

    A sink is 3 dimensional ಠ_ಠ

  • @redbeast2

    but the sinkhole is not ;)

  • @redbeast2 That's a great observation. But, I was referring to the perspective of the hole in the flat surface at the bottom of that 3D sink. This hole doesn't need a surface to flow threw.

  • So eventually all the stars are going to get SUCKED up in the black hole...Then what? Will there be a universe of blackholes? Will they attract each other and then SUCK on each other? Like one big frikkin black hole, what's the difference between the black hole singularity and the big bang singularity?

  • past the event horizon everything is destroyed? but I don't understand this,

    the laws of thermodynamics say nothing is created or destroyed, only transfered; so is it accurate to say black holes are destroying things?

    if the video is assuming the object is an artifical object, like a space probe the statement makes sense - but funnily enough most things that are entering black holes are probably not man made atm.

  • @AzzaRudd

    By "destroyed" he means the structures are disassembled. The INFORMATION is destroyed. See: Entropy.

  • @DanielRI02 in that case destroyed is still a misleading word in my opinion

  • @AzzaRudd Because past the event horizon is nothing. Meaning even the law of thermodynamics doesn't exist

  • @trotroy they do exist but tend to break down and how would we know for sure, again speculation presented as fact.

  • This is what's formed when you divide by zero...

  • @yellowmetalcyborg OH SHI-

  • what if 100 massive blackholes just happen to.... cross each other and consume each other until only one remains, would this one start to pull galaxies into it that are far away?? would it eat everything till theres nothing left!? WILL CHUCK NORRIS BE ABLE TO STOP IT!?!?!?!

  • WHY! does everyone say black holes "suck"?!

    they don't "suck" any more than any other body in the universe does.

    PLEASE STOP SAYING THAT BLACK HOLES SUCK!

  • @nyyght7 They don't suck. They pull with high gravity. Some people are just beeing silly.

  • Nothing new here, no puzzles answered. This is all old and well known information to most that are interested. Some animations where new or altered versions of previous animations, but that was all.

  • @N3CR1S agreed

  • So this is what you get when you feed a troll.

  • finaly a good documentary

  • I've got tons of questions about this!. first, why does black hole GROW! when matters that falls into it vanishes?. if the black hole grows, so matters didn't just vanished, but rather compressed into some state of existence beyond quarks and to smallest possible form of matter?

  • @saleall well, the common idea is that the matter is still "there", in the center of the black hole. When more matter is pulled in, it adds the already present matter, thus making the hole "grow". Im not sure if the event-horizon grows accordingly, i.e making the hole grow visibly.

  • @saleall Because they don't "Grow" ...they get larger. For example when a whirlpool in water gets larger, it's not growing, but the water flow around the hole is increasing.

    There is still nothing in the hole, and the water still didn't vanish.

  • I just came back from the black hole trip. Too bad noone from the past believes me (your present). In my time, youtube is only one branch of a much larger video site.

  • waste... what new , NEW scientist.

  • .... with a very happy ending!! LOL

  • 4:50 Time slows as you pass the event horizon and so you are SLOWLY ripped apart. and by the "time" you reach the point of where you should die, time slows further.

    You never die, you are just put into a sense of extreme pain for eternity.

    How's that for a good-night story?

  • @scientolofag It only slows relative to an outside observer. Time dilation doesn't mean you experience slow motion, your mind slows down with everything else, which means you experience no slow down. You'll perceive yourself to be falling at break neck speed, and it'll be over fast. To an outside observer, you'll slow down and become part of the event horizon, never reaching the centre.

  • Two people lost their mind in a black hole and thumbed down this video!

  • Weeeeeee!!!! That was fun!

  • Who knows what happens when you get sucked into a black hole. Has anyone considered White Holes? They spit out matter as opposed to consuming it, maybe all black holes have a white hole that spits out the matter they consume. Man doesnt, and probably never will know what happens when something enters a black hole.

  • @Oradnal There's one thing we know: whatever comes into the black hole, stays inside. So no white holes.

  • Superman is a singularity, because his density limits infinite.

  • 1:47 The large hadron collider? Anyone?

  • @Metaldude1945 I dont think that is possible. If a black hole was created in the hadron collider it would be near microscopic in size. It would dissapear almost instantly from "eating" itself because it wouldnt be able to "eat" enough mass to sustain itself. And when this video says small blackholes, it means small as in natural space ones formed by stars, not the extremely small ones like the collider ones which wouldn't even be able to exist out in space.
