  • @AddictedToAndrea If a class F+ star went supernova within 20 LY or so, it would sterilize all nearby solar systems (including ours) before it could collapse into a black hole, "in an apocalypse that makes the wrath of human gods seem pitiful by comparison."

  • @Blankskeen Yes and no. A singularity is a huge amount of mass (at least that of a class F star) condensed into a point of space with 0 volume and infinite density.

  • Black holes are solid objects right? So how will you travel through it?

  • 5:58 LOL they typed "waste" instead of "waist"

    "...Into a thin band around our crap" LOL

  • COPYER!

  • @stolic2012 black holes cause gravitational eddies so strong that anything that gets decently close starts to demolecularize

  • I think that one day in the distant future we will be able to travel through black holes

  • Make a video like this, then we'll talk.
