Hello Jan. I have attempted to utilize your main website, and I'm not even sure if I have succeeded. Anyway, If you don't mind, I have another question. Can matter undergo fusion upon entering the event horizon? I understand there are enormous temperatures and pressures involved to the extent that there is a "backup" of hot plasma at the crucial point where the accretion disk nears the surface of a black hole.

If I'm not mistaken, aren't black holes infinitely dense points of matter themselves? Meaning that almost anything is bigger than a black hole? I think that black holes only look large because they pull in any light around them. Although this isn't exactly my area of expertise, I'm planning on getting a degree in computer science, not physics lol

But I like to get all into it :)

well, I don't see why it wouldn't. However, there aren't many situations when this could happen. Black holes form from the collapse from very massive stars and they keep a great part of their mass. So, you wouldn't normally find a black hole next to a more massive star because that star would probably turned to a black hole itself.

Another effect to consider as well is that black holes emit gamma ray beams as they feed which pushes matter around them away, which can eventually stop matter from falling in.

Hope this helped

Oh shit. It's medic from TF2, amirite?

nice videos

Hello Jan, I was wondering if a stellar or supermassive black hole gets near a star larger than themselves can the black hole still suck in something that is larger or much larger ? A yes or no will do if you dont want to get all into it lol

HAPPY NEW YEAR ASKaPHYSICIST... If you're already re-subbed...then im very sorry to sound annoying, but im trying to let all my subs know about my current situation....I had to start a WHOLE NEW CHANNEL called GY6vids...Please come Re-Subscribe to my new channel....That is where all my new videos are being posted. Got a CANNON FUSE FIREBALL video soon to be posted come check it out
Link to my NEW CHANNEL is on my TOP CHANNELS LIST

Flying is going well,thanks. Its winter and we're getting awesome performance on the aircraft's engine and surface control!!

Finally..I meet another Physicist on YouTube!

Great videos.

I am not a scientific person by trade but the questions raised from just a little bit of scientific knowledge always tickles my brain. Currently, I have been wrapping my mind around the formation of the Universe, a truly daunting task. From neutrinos to super massive black holes, it is all astounding.

Question, if you take as fact that the Universe is expanding at an exponential rate and is infinitely large; does physics dictate that the reverse is true? Nothing I have read or seen really touches on the subject. If something is infinitely large then is it also infinitely small? Once we capture particles like the higgs boson, will we then learn that those particles are affected by even smaller particles, and so on down the line? It seems to me that if you can accept that the Universe came from a singularity and is growing to infinity then the reverse may also be true. Thanks again for the videos.

It doesn't matter why? Wouldn't it be nice to figure out? There must be a reason. However, I see your point in regards to Einstein vs. Newton, accuracy-wise. Einstein is clearly more "correct" than Newton. It just seems strange to me how the very meaning of a dimensional "direction" would curve in the presence of matter, much less, near it. I should really look in to learning the math on this stuff. It's a little scary though...
