The largest things in the universe are black holes. In contrast to things like planets or stars they have no physical size limit, and can literally grow endlessly. Although in reality specific things need to happen to create different kinds of black holes, from really tiny ones to the largest single things in the universe. So how do black holes grow and how large is the largest of them all?

I'm very early
You said you were done with black hole videos?
Not complaining, just asking.
Answer: MONEY money money, must be funny, in a rich -man's- bird's world
I love your videos
Ok
These videos hurt my brain. I love it.
hey lmao love ur vids
yo even marques vibes with us 😫👍
yooo its markass brownie
+1
The overwhelming scale presented in these videos that make you feel so small and insignificant... I love it XD
Me too
THE MUSIC WITH THE SIZE COMPARISON AT THE END WAS SO INTENSE
Ikr
LOL YES
Yessss
I agree so bad
I recommend watching the video of "Gas - Microscopic [Powers Of Ten]"
/watch?v=egBWkVfBdCw
It's poop-yo-pants material level of scale.
The weirdest thing i’ve heard today is that a tiny blackhole named “unicorn” is bullying a star many times the mass of our sun
oh god the irony
Yeah
Yeah lol
Called "unicorn" because we weren't detecting black holes of about 3 times the mass of the Sun and we weren't sure if it was our fault or they weren't there for some reason… Finally this one was found 😄
(Also inspired by the name of the constellation it was in, which is "unicorn" in Latin)

profanaram os meus sábados, e os seus olhos iam após os ídolos de seus pais.
Por isso também lhes dei estatutos que não eram bons, juízos pelos quais não
haviam de viver;
E os contaminei em seus próprios dons, nos quais faziam passar pelo fogo tudo o
que abre a madre; para assolá-los para que soubessem que eu sou o Senhor.
Portanto fala à casa de Israel, ó filho do homem, e dize-lhe: Assim diz o Senhor
DEUS: Ainda até nisto me blasfemaram vossos pais, e que procederam
traiçoeiramente contra mim.
Porque, havendo-os eu introduzido na terra sobre a qual eu levantara a minha
mão, para lha dar, então olharam para todo o outeiro alto, e para toda a árvore
frondosa, e ofereceram ali os seus sacrifícios e apresentaram ali a provocação das
suas ofertas; puseram ali os seus cheiros suaves, e ali derramaram as suas libações.
E eu lhes disse: Que alto é este, aonde vós ides? E seu nome tem sido Bamá até o
dia de hoje.
Portanto dize à casa de Israel: Assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Contaminai-vos a vós
mesmos a maneira de vossos pais? E vos prostituístes com as suas abominações?
E, quando ofereceis os vossos dons, e fazeis passar os vossos filhos pelo fogo, não
Hearing that dark matter could be microscopic black holes that are nearly as old as the universe itself was a mind blow that I wasn't prepared for.

The "Behind the Scenes" portion is the best thing ever. Thank you for treating us like adults. Reality is complicated.
I am here to support this.
yea true, i love this way so we can verify it by our own by showing their process/formula/solution
Thats not reality..thats theoratical at best. Speculations..unproven dum shit
I couldn’t agree more (with the original comment, not some of the bullshit here)
Agree
*Quick Update:*
This video was produced 2 years ago. As of January 2024, the largest black hole is Phoenix A
Yeah
I was reading the wiki on Phoenix A and saw it was discovered in 2010. Was it not determined that Phoenix A should be considered in this size comparison till this year? What changed?
@@shogunsovereign it was detected in 2010 , its size was unknown
@@shogunsovereign It's size was estimated to be around 100 billion solarmasses back then, but so was Holmberg 15A and the black hole in IC1101. Most evidence points to all of them being around the more common 40 billion solarmasses range because of how they interact with their surroundings.
Have yet to see any good evidence to actually support it's size claim after the initial paper on it. Don't know why it suddenly gained popularity and why everyone is claiming ut to be the largest black hole when TON 618 has a lot more evidence to back up it's claim for the throne.
That is nothing more than an indirectly derived estimate. There is nothing known about phoenix A*. Ton 618 is still the biggest one as of now
The "behind the lies" segment is genius. It should be a staple of any scientific popularization attempt as it allows simplification for the sake of clarity and communication while also pointing at the innacuracies. Fantastic stuff as always.
Well as "Black Holes" are themselves THEORY, not Scientific "LAW", the producers of this type of Theoretical Science, can continue to say what they like. Further this is just more ammunition for unethical and misleading programmes such as this one, to earn money.
@@JamesSmith-mv9fp We got a picture of a black hole, the theory is no longer
@@JamesSmith-mv9fp if you think black holes are fake then I assume you haven't heard of M87?
@@JamesSmith-mv9fp "A scientific theory is an explanation of an aspect of the natural world and universe that can be repeatedly tested and verified in accordance with the scientific method, using accepted protocols of observation, measurement, and evaluation of results." -- Wikipedia
@@JamesSmith-mv9fp That's why the image of the black hole was a huge deal it isn't just theory. I dont get what you mean by black holes aren't 'LAW' , that's like saying stars and plants aren't law what are you trying to say? With your use of words like 'theory' and 'law' you sound like the person that claims Evolution is just a theory. It should be understood while science behind things like black holes and evolution isn't fully understood they are still observed phenomena.
We can appreciate 3 interesting details here:
- Kurzgesagt is amazing at doing this.
- The universe is really scary, but beautiful and fascinating.
- Scientists are awful at naming things.
fr "black hole" "ton 618" Lmao
Well, to be fair, there are far too many things in the universe to have actual names so.
I laughed but judging by how I name my word documents I actually feel their struggle.
Tbh, Ton 618 just sounds badass in my opinion
@@cheesewheel_121 then you will become a scientist is the future
That final animation......is wild
Made me have a meltdown bro
Amen.
Btw: This big Black Hole is about 181440000000000 meters Big:TRY TO IMAGINE THAT!!!
The step between earth and sagittarius a was just intense and horrifying. xD
Basically we are dust compared to earth which is dust compared to the biggest known star which is dust to the biggest blackhole
I am not gonna lie. This is my top 1 youtube video. I keep coming back to it every few weeks. Kurzgesagt, I love what you do
"Since TON 618 is so far away, we only see what it looked like 10 billion years ago" these lines gave me huge chills
Don't worry it's just been getting its reps in and plundering its neighbors like a good Viking!
Edit: Imagine all the loot in its belly!
And the Universe is only 13B years old
@@jirehchoo2151 ONLY??? U ACT LIKE ITS NOT THE OLDEST MF AROUND
Tho he also says "...is shining with a brightness of a hundred trillion stars, visible from 18 Billion Light Years away. "
at 9:54
Does that mean Ton 618 has moved 8 Billion lightyears further away from us since it emitted that light we see today 10 Billion years ago?
@@Broockle idk probably..
I LOVE the wholesomeness of "Behind the Lies".
How they've admitted to inaccuracies.
It takes courage to admit that, and it's very much appreciated.
It show how dedicated and reliable they are, they truly care about getting the general public interested in science.
I feel like that part was a realy accurate description of the whole process of publishing a peer reviewed scientific paper
All in the process of being as accurate as possible. It's very difficult to see inner planets with a "to scale" model of our solar system, too.
I wish the NASA, WHO etc. would do that.
Nothing to do with being courageous since they only care about being as truthful as possible.
"Our sun is like a grain of dust compared to hypergiant stars"
"Hypergiant stars get thrown around easily by supermassive black holes"
"Supermassive black holes are nowhere near as large as Ultramassive black holes"
This is starting to feel like DBZ in terms of size progression.
Lol😂😂
DBZ not even in comparison, nor ANY fictional characters in human history
ultramassive blackholes, specially TON 618 have stupendous power output, that even all fictional characters including lovecraftians teaming together, still impossible to destroy TON 618, TON not even get scratches, everyone powers, skills, and their life is just get warped by it and become food instead
TON literally weigh as same as galaxy, eating galaxies all at once, while the gravitational effect + the light visible from the half edge of observable universe like normal star inside milky way!
(imagine a single dust shining so brightly, that you can see it in the middle of ocean while the dust is on horizon like a normal lighthouse and you can still feel the warm [i repeat, its a single dust])
that even our own real universe expansion cant scratches it
edit: half edge of observable universe, not edge*
also if TON 618 replace andromeda galaxy
and if you just a baby inside a womb, still developing your own eyes
you immediately get blinded by TON, while earth being burned alive, and everyone definitely dead
from as far as andromeda galaxy
imagine...
@@blacktigerace6687 lol no😂😂 there are many "fictional characters" who can destroy a ton618
@@blacktigerace6687 Yeah but what about the frightening and massive UY Scuti??? I bet this black hole won’t look so scary compared to the mighty UY Scuti!
I've always been fascinated by space. Seeing one of those explosions up close and somehow surviving would be the ultimate experience. Or seeing a black hole from the least safe (but still safe) distance would be incredible. Seeing then collide would be the coolest thing ever.
Agreed
The boss music when moving up to ultramassive blackholes was a nice touch
It sounds a bit like the interstellar soundtrack
Ah yes, I was hoping they’d include the soundtrack info so I could find it on iTunes
@@LuisSierra42 I was thinking the same thing. Very interstellar.
That's not a black hole, that's THE EYE OF TERROR
@@JRudd At least there's a Soundcloud link in the description
Love the background tune
It becomes exponentially better with earphones
the artists that made it are called epic mountain, if you want to listen to the soundtracks
Clearly inspired by Interestellar's soundtrack, which makes sense due to the subject
All background tunes are uploaded full-length on TH-cam shortly after the release of the video by the creators "Epic Mountain Music", in case you want to hop over and leave some love :)
Reminds me of the Deepwater Horizon movie theme
As an astrophysicist who's done his PhD in precisely this topic, I wanted to commend you on the content and on the scripting of your video. It's not only very *very* scientifically accurate, but also very clear and well explained, without entering in unnecessary details and keeping it entertaining. I loved it!
Good to hear. Also, congrats on your PhD on Such a topic.
@@stickyoutubechannel6259 True
Does your job pay anything?
@@vasiavisilievic1873 Yes, it does, and not-so-bad actually. The tricky thing is to find stability. A regular scientist has probably changed their working country (or at the very least city) probably 3 to 5 times by age 35.

I've gotten used to universe size scale, what melts my brain is the absurd brightness generated by these objects. Great video.

I really like how, in my short 37 years, black holes basically went from complete SciFi fantasy objects to being real things that have been found and are currently being studied. It's truly an amazing time to be alive.
Good science fiction has its basis in science and can often be used as a point of loose predictions.
I wouldn’t really say it’s the best time to be alive, maybe if the 1980’s carried on forever.
@@munchken man it is such a rip off thou :/

Excellent stuff!
This channel at its best gives me that feeling I used to have as a kid staring at the milky way trying to comprehend how big every little dot is and how impossibly small we are. It's a feeling of awe and wonder, a little fear and a lot of curiosity.
It's a feeling pretty hard to come by as an adult.
True, there are some feelings of wonder and adventure you can only feel as a child
It's not often you can learn new things and be truly enthusiastic and excited, where it's in a way that's just fascinating and grabs your attention
Ikr I miss that
Videos like these make me question why I had not taken astrophysics as my major... it's not that I don't like biotech but i feel like astrophysics is my ex and videos like these make me regret not choosing that instead of the biology..

*Laughs nervously*
My bwain hurts and I’m scared mom come pick me up
Here is the funny thing... the more recent view we get of the black hole, the sooner we will die
just when you thought it couldn't get bigger...
so when you think about how time is relative (going lightspeed for a few hours could equate to something like years later (my math is non existant)), stop to think that we are actually all time travelers.
Think of it this was: it takes light 10 billion years to travel from TON 618 to earth. Even if it were to move in our direction it would take waaay longer than that to reach us. Also, considering that the universe is expanding it probably steadily moves away from us and might not ever come into contact with our milky way. But before all of this could happen, our sun will burn out anyway.
is nobody gonna talk about that epic music just getting louder and more dramatic as the scale went up? its amazing.
I just want to make clear the importance of this channel for the world. I'm Brazilian and everyone here loves Kurzgesagt. You also inspire me and others to create scientific content.
Thanks for spreading so much knowledge!

Verdade
as a fellow Brazilian i most agree :) we love it
This scale is literally unfathomable. Those black holes are incomprehensibly large. Terrifying.
These are the things that dwell where God doesn't travel.
It doesn't matter everything keeps expanding even space itself... so they will never be able to get to us. We'd have more change getting sucked up by our own sun then ever being sucked in by a black hole
The day we know what lies inside a black hole is the day we understand the universe and reality itself.

Not exaggerating, this is one of the greatest visual representations of Black Holes on TH-cam. It's impossible to really show the scale, but boy does Kurzgesagt does an exceptional job at portraying the best possible job.
Truly singularly brilliant.

I’ve watched this video like 6 times since last year periodically. It brings things like life into perspective. It’s one of my favorite videos of all time. Especially considering that the idea of space has fascinated me since I was a kid. I grew up in a pretty religious house but had all of these questions about the wonders of the universe. How that correlates with religion and our existence and what it means. I’m no longer religious but I’m still in love with idea of what existence is and how that relates to things like this.

Videos like this turn my brain into a noodle
Hello
love ur sea of theives vids
noodl :)
Its Sir "Pumpking" Welyn
You call that ''Spaghettification'' ;)
I shed a tear of joy everytime a come across a channel such as this
I have to say: HUGE props for the sound design in this one! The music was epic and fit the topic perfectly!
"The largest single things in existence"
*video is only half over*
it was...?
Look at me go
The largest single thing in this universe is the wrath of Business Man
Naw it's my mom some x box kid said
@TEE PERO and what makes god tee?
I got chills
okay cool
The only thing scarier than the ocean is space... this video was killing me lol
Me too
Same bruh
I probably would get existential crisis from now on.
This is the best TH-cam channel ever!! Many of these videos should be included in schools officially, I'm not kidding
The soundtracks made for these videos don't get enough attention, they are really good!
I just noticed! Its true!
Do not worry they get attention. There are alot of people that are more excited for epic mountain than kurzgesagt.
I believe they have a channel on soundcloud
Oh yes I agree. My favorite is the one from Stellar engines. I listened to it on repeat for two weeks when that video came out. But most of them are amazing. The one about loneliness too.
For 2 years i have used them as wake up alarm
Me: Wow that black hole is huge. How could anything possibly be bigger than-
Kurzgesagt: 8:50
I thought it could fit 45 solar systems-
komedy
@DON'T dont worry i won't :)
you cant remake those in FL
...
your mom
sorry i couldn't resist
I really appreciated the “Behind the Lies” section, helped put into perspective how little we really know about Black Holes and necessary liberties need to he taken when we discuss then
Edit: why is there a fight in the replies?
Yeah but why did they say we can't see them, when we've seen a picture of one
musica
CrittingOut We personally can’t see them up in person pictures is all we have and reality compared to picture is different
@@CrittingOut You actually will never "see" the black hole, cause to see something, light has to leave the object and reach your eye. Since blackholes swallow light whole, nothing ever comes back for you to see, you will only see the accretion disk around it. Kinda like seeing a hole in the wall, you see the wall and part of it is missing
@@kusalg Seems pretty pedantic
1:14 something I'm confused about and would like to know more about is: If black holes decay faster and faster through Hawking radiation the smaller they get, how could primordial black holes from the big bang still exist?
Because it would still take far longer than the current age of the universe for them to evaporate (depending on their mass)
The song is so intense that it feels like we discovered the strongest secret boss in every existence
they should have called TON618...DOG618, calamity players would get this one.
@@alegendsock2581 nice one XD
They cleverly got one with Hans Zimmer vibes. The ticking from Interstellar's score, makes it epic.
Ultramassive Boss
@@alegendsock2581 I see you're a man of culture.
As I get older, there are fewer and fewer things that make me happy anymore. While watching this video, I realised I was grinning just like I used to as a child watching the Discovery channel 10 years ago. Thanks Kurzgesagt.
:)
aww
If it was 10 years since a child you cant be that old
Legit same!
@Issach Hazut what the hell are you on about guy?
@Issach Hazut lmao
"this script was written with the tears of experts" may just be the best Kurzgesagt line yet
Thanks a lot for these videos, really appreciate it,all these works
Wierd how I literally cannot imagine how big these stars are. In the final comparison once earth popped out of view I was like wow those are big.. then at a point I couldn’t comprehend the size of them anymore. Crazy.
It's beyond human intuition to imagine anything this big! Once you get over several times the size of the Burj Khalifa it begins to not make sense. Even the size of the Earth is impossible to imagine from ground level (maybe unless you went to the ISS).
Nah, this was easy, try to imagine Graham number, its even bigger than biggest black hole here :D
@@plasmoid99 oh man! Did you by any chance read Tim Urban's post on _really really_ large numbers?
@@plasmoid99 It's not a competition.
Monkey brains weren't made go count numbers above 20 sheeps. So we of course have a hard time imagining anything truly big. 900.000 thousands deaths by Covid is a large number, but we can't imagine 900.000 human faces.
At this point, the unit billion doesnt even sound that big to me anymore
This comment also works on a government spending video
@Earth seriously? You don’t get it?
maybe we should consider a billion to the billionth power.
@henk
I'm laughing too, because of how true that is.
@@Marinealver too big. Maybe billon to the millionth power?
The universe is just a massive agario playfield.
What an underrated comment
@@mikhaels6624 Haha thanks mate :)
lol this is underrated
Lmao this is the best comparison 💀
@@YodaSama0 Thanks mate. Now we know what lies beyond the event horizon in a massive black hole.. A true agario master.
Incredible ending. Not only did you maintain integrity, but you educated everyone on the nuances of why it's important to consider. Thank you.
Ton 618: shines with a brightness of a 100 trillion stars.
Discord light mode: Pathetic.
discord light mode: brightness of 1 billion google stars
or 1billion + 100 zeros
@@imibuks-replit a gogolplex brighter
TON 618 is as bright is IC 1101
Actually i use light mode at night and it's fine (i know it's joke) (please do not misunderstand)
@@mumujibirb yeah i know
who will actually use light mode
ESPECCIALLY AT NIGHTT
The music for this episode was so fitting and ominous.
Sound design too, goosebumps on multiple occasions
Sounds like the theme of a main villain in anime
huge Hans Zimmer vibes
kept thinking of interstellar lol
The background music really made the whole video feel like an epic journey... Especially when TON 618 was introduced... It basically felt like a final level boss entrance...
Thank you all at the Kurzgesagt team, thank you for your valiant efforts...
thinkig the same !
The musicians who make their songs are called epic mountain, theyre on Spotify
@@yaboio3349 gotta go and add them to my favs...
I rarely like (let alone comment on) videos on TH-cam, but a brief "Hey, there are reasonable limitations here" at the end is something I've never seen before. Supporter for as long as I exist.
Absolutely love the behind the "lies" portion. It's being honest about how sacrifices have to be made to be entertaining while adding back some of the realism that you decided to forgo. Nice. :D
My thoughts exactly. Also I think that this kind of self-critisizing doesn't exist even on scientific papers. I just love the way a digest of data is presented and have all the sources available for further reading. Brilliant job.
@@dr3ik0 The funny thing is, it's half "just understood" that there's a lot of guesswork going on here... The videos that really need it involve the flat out wrong (and there's plenty to choose from lol).
Definitely an honorable gesture. 👍
Yes! Please keep doing this!
I can’t get over the part where he said “we only see what I looked like 10 billion years ago” that’s so mind blowing that it takes light to travel 10 billion years for us to see it.
That’s why I find it insanely unlikely we will ever make it far in the universe. Even if we find a way to travel the speed of light it’ll still take us 10 billion years to get there
@@Ownxer if there is a way to effectively travel to really far planets there has to be some sort of "wormhole" that can actively be opened/used to act as a shortcut. If someone is able to correctly "solve" quantumgravity it might become possible. Considering the progress that humanity made in the last 100 years im pretty excited for what will be discovered in the next 100 years. Hopefully i live long enough to see some real gamechanging things :)
@@MasterJoEJG I doubt we'll produce a wormhole in just a 100 years. I doubt we'll survive to a 100 years though if what the situation on Earth is anything to go by. Still, it's nice to dream
@@pillarmenn1936 i wasn specifically talking about creating wormholes in the next 100 years. Just overall there is stuff to be discovered that we basically cant imagine at the moment.
Lets hope humanity doesnt eradicate itself too soon...
@@MasterJoEJG let's hope some super advance alien race that doesn't look "ugly" by our standars comes by , and enslave us to them break free of it and live in armony between the 2 of us so we can advance more...
Like what happen between the Europeans and the old Mexicans in the 1500's
The Animations and Sound Design are getting better over time.
Keep Growing, Kurzgesagt...
This episode had their best music by far in my opinion.
I swear, when they did the comparison showcase in the end. I had goosebumps... right here 10:48
@TwiceMeOne The sentence was fine, he didn't need to change it.
Beautiful video.
Who is your animation designer?! Who ever picked the style for this animation is brilliant.
I love that they used the latest trend on style. There's hardly a way around it though. Retro 80's is just beautiful combined with futuristic touches. Another work of art made here.
I was gonna say, the art and animation is gorgeous! I applaud whoever did the work!
Facts indeed
I would love to see black hole clothes
skill share
Ton-618: “I am the biggest thing ev…”
Probably bigger unknown black hole: “was that a fly that just landed on me?”
Bruh
Just think this is the OBSERVABLE universe NOT EVEN THE FULL UNIVERSE just what we can see, let that sink in
@@victorcartagena8524 Well the observable universe could be the full universe. We just don't know.
@WorthlessVids actually no we don’t. We don’t for 100% know that the universe doesn’t or does carry on past the observable part.
@@rockstar-5934 it is very safe to think that the universe expands past it
That has to be the single most astronomically epic and fitting soundtrack for a video ngl
It was perfect👍
Idk man. Muse’s “Supermassive Black Hole” might’ve been an even better choice.
But yeah, the music is very fitting.
@@azi8855 it was a joke lol obviously they can't use copyrighted music like that but still fitting

Interstellar...
Beautiful video, beautiful music, clear pleasant talk. Thank you, Birds!!!
Kurzgesagt's animations just get better and better, plus the music, it makes you feel like you are actually there, i love this channel so much.
Not sure “makes you feel you’re actually there” is a nice thing to say about a video of eyeball-vaporizing instant-death space monsters ;-)
the sound design too
@@NilfNilf1972 That would actually be a cool way to die lmao
@@totallynoteverything1. Ikr, gives you orchestral music vibes but it aint orchestral music, it's pretty cool
The combination of music and visual is stunning. This video is really interesting and freaking epic!
Imagining black holes is a funny concept. "Imagine something so big and massive that, even if you could imagine what you can't imagine, you couldn't imagine."
and then there's the quarks and other stuff which are so small that we again can't really fathom it either
Throw on top aphantasia and I’m having a ball
It's amazing that us... such small little beings stuck on a single planet know about these things
"I don't know I can imagine quite a bit"
Yet you still don't have an idea of it's size despite this realisation and neither do I. Yet even after understanding and making the statement I just made, I still probably don't really get the true scale of it all. Now how many times must I repeat this "despite this statement I still don't really get the true scale of it" statement? That is the real question.
I have real love for this channel.
Please continue doing "Behind The Lies", super interesting and a great reminder of the messiness and uncertainty inherent with looking at a topic that's at the frontier of modern science
