as a member of the hard of hearing community, i must say that i really appreciate you captioning your videos! i have an audio processing disorder so its really hard for me to understand and process spoken information and speech. you can imagine that makes it really hard for me to learn what i need to at school, and so i supplement with a lot of youtube videos. it's so hard for me to find good material that doesn't just have auto-generated captions. thanks for being inclusive of all your audience :)
Professor Dave, that’s the best H-R diagram description I’ve ever seen! Most H-R discussions are simply temperature vs mass explanations. You correctly make it a “roadmap” for the life of high/low mass stars. Even textbooks I’ve read don’t make that connection.
ZaWakingEagle except for the part where he says that a black holes center has infinite density because some scientists believe it may be the plank length and not a single point
@@Human-gu2cx I googled what you were talking about. I think for the sake of reaching the audience of interest, defining the concentration of mass at a single point is an ok simplification since the plank length is so small. Taking a pretty large mass and dividing it by that extremely small plank length would cause the density to skyrocket to an insane number. thoughts?

This is incredibly helpful for my astronomy class this summer.

Absolutely amazing and I thank you so much for this.

what a moronic statement. Science is wrong all the time, so how are you defining "denial"? Its just disagreeing till theres evidence that its incorrect, which happens quite often. In this topic, where we know so very little through direct evidence, skepticism is a necessity
Every time I come here I'd get so fascinated by not just the facts but also by how easily understandable Dave delivers the topic, to the point that I feel so eager to click the like button right after watching, only to find that I've liked it already!
Professor Dave. I am a student of Anthropology and i never thought in a million years i could understand astronomy. I picked it up half a year ago to fill a hobby. and you have made it so easy and fascinating to study, i always take to my telescope after your videos man. Thanks a ton
I'm working through your course right now Dave, and I wanted to let you know that this is such a beautifully constructed course.

(Also the way you narrate is extremely fun and engaging) I hope you have cold pillow for the rest of your life, that you are happy and successful and may life grant you all your wishes.
This is the best explanation that I've looked for in what happens with the atoms actually, when the mass is contracting that much, first atom pushing atom, then an huge nucleus of neutrons, then a black hole. Now I've figured out finally all, generally speaking. Thank you, that's light in my head now.
knowing about stars is my favorite hobby. i have seen tons of videos about stars and black hole, but you are too good. you deserves millions of subscribers
This is the best explanation of the death of stars I have so far seen on youtube. I was always confused about supernovae, neutron stars and black hole formation. Now I feel I know a lot more and am less confused. Thank you so much for this informative video.
Thanks.this is the first video on TH-cam which gives complete information about star formation,their life and death. I requested many TH-camr to make videos on this topic
I learned all this in Jr college, but I have to give you credit with how you simplified it and made it so understandable. That's exactly why education works well with the right people doing the educating rather than a guy droning on endlessly saying "Mkay?" every 5 seconds. Thank you for your efforts.
there is a lot more that going on in between these fusions cycles into new elements, also there is a difference luminescence between type of starts as well as the temperature they are burned at. however this is very good concise information on very lengthy and somewhat complicated topic. great job!

Was literally looking for a video that explains this topic in depth..but my expectations were not meant to be fulfilled until I found this video🙌🏻thanks for sharing this video..
At 5:58 I don't understand why the core wants to eject all its energy by expanding in the giant red phase and why does it push the outer layers in order to do so? And how does expanding cause energy release?
I was wondering - if the universe fell back and collapsed and expanded into / out of another big bang - could / would chemistry and physics be different that time? Or the distribution between matter and antimatter?
13:38f > _This object is called a black hole._ No, it's called _the singularity of_ a black hole.

Nah, they rather believe whatever they don't understand just makes no sense, and if it doesn't make sense to them it can't be right... and then imagine everything to be made of nothing but light, and all the beautiful special sky-lights must be very close to us because we're so goddamn special! That's why they can't accept the sun, moon and stars are millions and billions of miles away... It would make them feel a lot less special... They can't handle their own insignificance! So they keep telling themselves how special and important they are... I'm not familiar with psychology, but it could be some sort "defense mechanism" to avoid having an existential crysis.
I thought that an M-class star, especially the smaller ones, didn't experience a Red Giant stage? That they went to White Dwarf in a more "relaxed" manner if you will. Can you enlighten me on that ? I loved the vid; thanks !
Not me. The theory of relativity breaks down at the center of a black hole. People like to say "infinite density", including this video, but what actually happens is unknown, and the theory of relativity does not provide the answer. Black holes are fascinating phenomena and we are circling one right now! But it is not infinitely dense. It has a known mass and a known volume as well. Why not just calculate the density from that?
@@RetroPianoGuy Because all the mass of the black hole is on the singularity, which is infinitly small (planck length). How do you calculate density of something infinitly small =)
Pretty good. Of course there were a few over-simplifications, which make it easier to understand for the people that can't do the math. For example, proton + electron --> neutron is not so much the electron being swallowed by the proton, as it is the energy of the electron being used to flip a quark in the proton, via the weak force. Well done on the stellar burning cycle yielding said elements. And Chandra was a terrible driver. I almost hit his car getting off Lake Shore Drive on the way to school. I think it was a black Mercedes. I love the story of his work on stellar nucleosynthesis. As he was mapping stellar spectra (every nuclear reaction has a distinct spectra), there was one spectra that didn't match up with any of the known reaction. Not one to be wrong, since he was sure that reaction had to be there, he dug up the original nuclear physics paper, and found a mathematical error. Correcting the math, the reaction fell perfectly in place. So much for that student's thesis defense comity. Oh the embarrassment!
Whats ironic... I came here because of a misclick... and I stayed for the content. Truly fine work with this video bud. My hats off... and you just earned my sub too!
I know you are dumbing it down for others but red dwarfs (the most common star) won't super Nova or even nova but they will live the longest and fizzle down like a piece of charcoal.

I thought that an M-class star, especially the smaller ones, didn't experience a Red Giant stage? That they went to White Dwarf in a more "relaxed" manner if you will.
Can you enlighten me on that ?
I loved the vid; thanks !
13:06 but even more MIRACULOUSLY✨
simply the best✨
Who's here after the first picture of a black hole was revealed?
Not me. The theory of relativity breaks down at the center of a black hole. People like to say "infinite density", including this video, but what actually happens is unknown, and the theory of relativity does not provide the answer. Black holes are fascinating phenomena and we are circling one right now! But it is not infinitely dense. It has a known mass and a known volume as well. Why not just calculate the density from that?

Not me
@@RetroPianoGuy What's the mass and volume?
@@RetroPianoGuy Because all the mass of the black hole is on the singularity, which is infinitly small (planck length). How do you calculate density of something infinitly small =)
That was a stellar explanation. Thank you, Professor Dave.
Punny you are.
Pretty good. Of course there were a few over-simplifications, which make it easier to understand for the people that can't do the math. For example, proton + electron --> neutron is not so much the electron being swallowed by the proton, as it is the energy of the electron being used to flip a quark in the proton, via the weak force. Well done on the stellar burning cycle yielding said elements.
And Chandra was a terrible driver. I almost hit his car getting off Lake Shore Drive on the way to school. I think it was a black Mercedes. I love the story of his work on stellar nucleosynthesis. As he was mapping stellar spectra (every nuclear reaction has a distinct spectra), there was one spectra that didn't match up with any of the known reaction. Not one to be wrong, since he was sure that reaction had to be there, he dug up the original nuclear physics paper, and found a mathematical error. Correcting the math, the reaction fell perfectly in place. So much for that student's thesis defense comity. Oh the embarrassment!
Whats ironic... I came here because of a misclick... and I stayed for the content.
Truly fine work with this video bud. My hats off... and you just earned my sub too!
"lets kill some stars"
*insert intro*
Hahahaahaha.
what dont kill the our sun
How did people even figure this stuff out 😮,it's crazy
13:40 "this is called a Black Hole!"
So that's how my ex-girlfriend's heart was made?
Your ex had a heart !?. That must have been nice ??.
My ex is probably a black hole, she's very attractive.
@@Silhouex Im starting to suspect i may have drawn the short straw in the girlfriend stakes !?...
I just started the video, and I don't know what's next, but I was shocked ny the "Professor Dave again, Let's kill some stars !"
me:*sees thumbnail*
also me:EVOLUTIONS?
How am I only just now discovering your channel? Subscribed!
That was the best explained video I have seen. Well done you made it easier for some of us to understand all this stuff. Worth subscribing to 👍
u are a genius. i saw billions videos abt stellar evolution but no one explained it like u
I know you are dumbing it down for others but red dwarfs (the most common star) won't super Nova or even nova but they will live the longest and fizzle down like a piece of charcoal.
what happens if you fly a satellite near a white dwarfs orbit?
@@danyaverplak8910 Define "near"
Sufficiently close, the tidal effects (the satellite bit closest to the start experiences a *lot* more gravity that the furthest bit) to shred it to a spagetti of dust.
man,you make it look so easy......big fan of ur style..
This was very well explained. The images and animations you used to show it was "STELLAR."
Get it? Overall, great video. You earned a new subscriber. Your videos are neat, and I feel like I could show these to my science teacher. Thank you.
Great and amazing video as usual.
Professor Dave again, let's k i l l s o m e s t a r s.
