the mass and momentum, it's a self replicating multi-density point sine-cosine function which produces more sine-cosines, more timespace and more universes. It increases probabilistic density exponentially, through the compression of entropy. When you compress entropy exponentially, it folds against itself, and crates universes. that;s my theory.
@Peter Mortensen Michael Collins, the astronaut who stayed in orbit around the moon in 1969, passed away on 28 April, Dr Becky was interviewed about him on BBC News, and it was a heart felt tribute.
The first thing I saw on TV this morning was you! Your interview on BBC commenting about Michael Collins life was very touching. Thank you so much for all the great videos.
More years ago than I care to remember, I sat in an introduction to Astronomy university class, so excited to learn about all these wonders of the universe...and was so disappointed by the monotone disinterest of the professor that that class became a slog to get through. And then I found your channel, and the way I wish I had been taught then - thoroughly, professionally, but most importantly (I think) passionately and excitedly. You’re the embodiment of what I hoped for then, so thank you for teaching me now.
@Abby Tandon - There once was a lady named Bright, who travelled much faster than light. She left home one day, in the usual way, and returned the preceding night.
@Abby Tandon Making it seem like you are clicking faster than the speed of light is actually pretty easy. You just have to correctly guess the id of the video and predictively visit its URL in time.

That "Phew! Escaped." starship has got to have an incredible engine. It's just *barely* outside the photon sphere, and moving straight away from the black hole - that's going to use up *a lot* of fuel.
You have become my cosmological constant Dr. B. I have been practically binge watching your videos since discovering your channel. I may even be in danger of starting to pronounce it Sa-un, & I’m American. Thanks for all the knowledge, you are awesome.
@@icannotcomeupwithanything4609 Alexander Unzicker is a physicist and author (the higgs fake, bankrupting physics, Einstein's lost key, etc.. )and on the above mentioned channel you can find interesting and controversial conversations on topics like astronomy, cosmology, particle and quantum physics, etc.. Wolfgang Kundt is an astrophysicist and did extensive research on active galactic nuclei and astrophysical jets.. wiki quote: In his publications since 1978, Kundt has increasingly expressed doubts about the existence of black holes. They are a scientific error. If they existed, they would have swallowed us long ago, he claims. Rather, he believes that the cores of large galaxies are hydrogen-rich, nuclear-burning plasma disks. He calls them Burning Discs (BD). i think there are a few rather huge anomalies in astronomy today and the popular science communicators love to tell stories, black holes in an expanding universe magically started with the big bang, needing dark matter to explain the rotation of galaxies such as our own, the concept that is a SMBH was theorized to be a gravitational phenomena yet now we found a way to map magnetic fields they are claimed to be very weak. this is done through a technique of polarized light and is most likely only a glimpse of the real magnetic fields which are hard if not impossible to fully detect. the so called crisis in cosmology is talked about more and more these days but always presented as specific problems while its actually much more severe and fundamental.. anyhow thats my honest opinion based on the work of many researchers considered to be ignored by academia such as above mentioned people and Halton Arp, Eric Lerner, P M Robitaille, Eugene Bagashov, Anthony Peratt Hannes Alfvén and the mainstream accepted models.. (no i'm not an electric universe advocate, that would be the easy way of dismissing and ignoring what i wrote here, i know :p) cheers
hmmm... tennis ball sized black holes... i remember those from the eighties, when matches between agassi, becker, graf, or whomever started to suddenly consume five to six hours of afternoon television time, to the point, where i as a nerd felt actually forced to leave the house and explore that 'outside' everyone kept talking about, in order to escape the jogs.
Yes this is good and entertaining. Some people really knows how to present fact in a dullest boaring way possible. They often become teachers. It is a good thing that Becky isn't one of those.
@@DrBecky (just thought I'd mention) I was introduced to your channel by a friend who's in commercial studies and has no interest in physics. That is to say, your videos are so good, anyone can watch them :)
Dr Becky uploads a video, instantly I watch and hit like, then I comment, Dr Becky rocks! Edit: It goes further, I learned within the comments on this vid that Dr. Becky hosts a podcast and has published a book, my weekend is full now.
I love it when astrotube and educational channels plug each other without it being an "advertizing our new channel" thing. TH-cam really isn't about competition like that and it shows a kind of respect and camaraderie for/with each other that really goes beyond zero sum thinking. It benefits and helps educate everyone so much better.
My favourite TH-camrs seem to have a habit of turning up on each other's channels, even though their usual subjects are often somewhat different (hello Anton). Coming next week - the Big Clive, Jay Foreman and Dr. Becky collab you've always wanted, just never knew it.
Just watched a famelab video from 6 years ago with Becky on it. Very good. I'm taking a speech class right now and I can imagine being or looking that comfortable on stage. Well done.
You're an incredible scientist and an awesome science communicator. It'd be great to get to see you in a crossover video with other science communicators. Have you met Veritasium? I'm sure you'll get along!
We have a presentation for customer today at work, for two weeks already I am stressed out, barely sleeping and today I wanted to head to work early to prepare everything thats needed before that big moment. But dr Becky published video about black holes, so that definitely has a priority.
@@DrBecky thank you, it went quite well before the application we were presenting crashed. However, afterwards we found it actually did not crash, but that our coworker logged via remote access and unintensionally closed the application. Guess you just can't think of everything. But overall it was a success.
I have always wondered why our super massive blackhole is so small. Less than 1/10th of 1 percent of some of them out there. The Milky Way is a pretty big galaxy, so why is our super massive blackhole so small?
I thought it was gonna be about charged/uncharged and rotating/non-rotating. Also I loved the anatomy of black hole. "We're doomed" 😂😂 Can we get that on merch??
I'm with you about charge/spin making the difference, along with the keugelblitz concept... But maybe she doesn't want to step on Matt's toes over on PBS Space-Time.
And of course, there's the fact that in one sense, the universe (or at least the observable universe) is a black hole, and the fact that fundamental particles share a number of characteristics with black holes...
I had never thought of gas sinking straight into a supermassive black hole. Interesting! I'm so glad you referred to Anton. He's underrated, imo. Also, Spongebob. Wonderful!
Didn’t spot that one! This is why not being in the office is annoying because you don’t get water cooler chat about cool new papers outside your research field
Dr Becky, your enthusiastic sharing of these concepts, and sometimes wonderfully explosive excitement in relaying to us the news of the moment, is just enchanting. I apologize if that sounds a bit naff, but there it is. People who talk science and space rarely make any of it sounds as appealing and understandable as you do, I suppose because they are rarely as normal and down-to-earth as you....Also I love the outro's, todays esp....just gorgeous, doctor...
One equation I learned and never forgot was M=rv2/G. It still blows my mind that with this elegant little equation I can weigh the Sun. Or the Earth. Or pretty much anything in the entire Universe!
The enthusiasm you show for your chosen subject is I think a lesson to up-and=coming students about how to approach what they choose to do. So many express ambition and aspiration to be something (probably to have their name etched into historical records) but alongside that is apparent uncertainty about which subject to which I can only say, pick the one that absolutely grabs you and go for it. A final note: I'm hoping beyond hope that Betelgeuse goes before I do.
Likes and commented early to push your video up the ranks. It’s entering winter here in Australia so summer is on its way for you. Oh I use Star Walk as my iPad sky mapping program. I’ve had it for maybe 10 years. It’s the only way to find Saturn reliably for me and is dead set necessary for me to sort of see mercury.
Came here from a random comment on one of Anton's videos talking about how you talked about his black hole video in this video about black holes... So I came to this video to check it out... Interesting! lol I'm a fan, now! Your channel has now been subbed and belledー
Amazing video ❤ as you use to make. i wanted to know so bad witch was the missed type ! it was so hard to contain myself not reading the chapter's title 😁 Thanks for the video, merci
Dr. Becky, may I suggest you making a video about the mechanism of a supernova explosion, touching maybe the revival of the shock wave by neutrinos. Also about where we are in supernova simulations, are we succeeding actually making the start explode in the simulation? I know all this is complicated, but you have this talent of making complicated things accessible for the rest of us. I just discovered your channel and subscribed immediately. Thanks for what you're doing, it's wonderful.
then go thru this great talk with sadly very gritty audio: channel: Unzicker's real physics talks. video: Wolfgang Kundt, do black holes exist? it might not be a paper but just a conversation with someone who studied these phenomena a whole life long..
Dear Dr. Becky i just discovered this and i relay like your way of explanation. Im working on a different way of asolution how to explain a Galaxy. A mayor key is how creativity works . I just working on this idea to set new order pattern . On my think pattern the order a galaxy is build up is cyclical and is the key for understanding. But is still complex and i try to get it in order and write it down. So hopefully i can set it online in few weeks. . Best Chris
I would love to see a current explanation of Kerr type (spinning) black holes. The hypothesis that it has a ringularity (ring with zero thicknesss but non-zero radius) that could possibly be transversed and serve as a wormhole entrance has fascinated me for decades. I came for the memes and Expanse reaction but I subscribed for the serious science. Keep it up Dr Becky! p.s. The parentheses are for the amateur black hole fans. I know I don’t need to physicsplain to Dr. B
Just subscribed after enjoying the film view video, looked at the channel video list, Excellent! I have so much good stuff to watch and increase my scientific knowledge, thank you, I am going to sign up to Brilliant because of your good self and how you do these videos, it's you, Professor Brian Cox at the top of my long watch and learn list. Ha! You just mentioned Anton. 'not her great channel. So much good stuff out there.
I read in the Time Life Series, Mysteries of the Unknown, mid-90s, that quasars might be the other side of a black hole separated by a worm-hole. The light was all the mass sucked into the black hole escaping (iow, black holes literally poop rainbows). The force of the gravity and amount and speed of the matter entering it caused the wormhole. It seems reality is simpler but less fun.
well this is nice. anton showing up means that 2 of my favourite youtubers are in the same vid. half expected to hear a clip of him saying "hello you wonderful person". nice surprise thanks for the thorough analysis as usual, and for the links. it's much appreciated. black holes could be said to be the singularly most attractive bodies in physicists' imaginations :)
I love your videos so much. I've always loved space but sometimes the information is overwhelming that I don't know where to start. Your videos are so easy to understand.
I can't thank you enough for sparking my interest in astrophysics, if it wasn't for you I probably would of had no idea what to do with my life (I'm in highschool so I'm talking about future career)
6) The black hole that forms in the pit of your stomach whenever you see the photo of the original LHC scientists, and see the guy who looks exactly like Gordon Freeman.
I’ve been watching other videos on TH-cam about Motion Amplification. They take a high resolution video of machinery in operation and run it through a computer algorithm that amplifies any small change in the pixels by 5, 10, 100 times, whatever you need. The result is you can see vibrations and oscillations in equipment and structures. You can spot problems before they become breakdowns, or worse. It seems to me this would be perfect for astronomy! It could help detect small changes or patterns of movement or even changes in color. Maybe even help visualize some of that raw data. Just a thought.
Great summary. Be aware that there are many assumptions and inferences that go into black hole astrophysics. This can and has led to confirmation bias. The mass gap problem is unresolved.
I never realised stars "lost" so much mass before collapsing into black holes. I'd always had it in my head that a 3 stellar mass black hole came from a star three times the mass of our sun. Huh. Thanks Dr Becky 😁
I can never figure out why the early universe didn't form a black hole pretty much straight away. I asked my physics teacher at high school some thirty five years ago, and he had no idea.
The simple answer is that the universe was expanding so quickly that a black hole could not form. See math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/BlackHoles/universe.html
Maybe I am just too sleep-deprived, but every time you said "stellar remnants" I heard "stellar revenants". So now black holes are undead stars. That is awesome.
Can you please make a video on what books should an aspiring astrophysicist should definitely read .I will be super happy if you do and I am sure the other thousands of people will be too . Thanks
I like the idea of black holes being the recycling centers of the universe that create new universes. Black holes are my favorite thing in space because they're so freaking weird lol. Plus, they're fun for the imagination. Love the idea that our big bang happened from an ultra massive black hole in another universe eating a galaxy bigger than the largest known galaxy in our universe. The time and reality distortion always makes me wonder if what takes trillions of years in one universe is happening in the time of a big bang in a new universe.
"I have already selected the picture of Spongebob to insert in the meme" - it's good to know our scientists are prepared for the future!
Purely theoretical memes are an important development.
This would qualify as theoretical astrophysics.
I expect nothing less!

I missed that, alas.
I’m imagining our little pet black hole with a dogs collar, chained to Pluto and barking at the other members of the Kuiper belt.
Considering all the moons Pluto already has adding another pet to the family would be fitting.
I kinda wanna draw this now, Pluto walking all of his dogs and one 'dog' that looks suspiciously much like a demon xD
Now that’s just silly
6:58 Love the 'fingers crossed' emoji beside the note about JWST launch date.

I have so much good stuff to watch and increase my scientific knowledge, thank you, I am going to sign up to Brilliant because of your good self and how you do these videos, it's you, Professor Brian Cox at the top of my long watch and learn list. Ha! You just mentioned Anton. 'not her great channel. So much good stuff out there.
This is so perfectly good explained! Thank you ❤️
I'm so glad I stumbled upon this channel.
I also follow Anton! Nice to see you recommending one of his videos!
I read in the Time Life Series, Mysteries of the Unknown, mid-90s, that quasars might be the other side of a black hole separated by a worm-hole. The light was all the mass sucked into the black hole escaping (iow, black holes literally poop rainbows). The force of the gravity and amount and speed of the matter entering it caused the wormhole. It seems reality is simpler but less fun.
I was suppose to ask about these intermediate black holes in your guest lecture once, finally explained!
well this is nice. anton showing up means that 2 of my favourite youtubers are in the same vid. half expected to hear a clip of him saying "hello you wonderful person". nice surprise
thanks for the thorough analysis as usual, and for the links. it's much appreciated.
black holes could be said to be the singularly most attractive bodies in physicists' imaginations :)
I love the Anton mention! All these wonderful people ❤
Could you do an in-depth video on quasars and blazars?
I love your videos so much. I've always loved space but sometimes the information is overwhelming that I don't know where to start. Your videos are so easy to understand.
Dr. Becky, you have a wonderful voice. You should make a record about black holes or some other stellar object. ❣
I can't thank you enough for sparking my interest in astrophysics, if it wasn't for you I probably would of had no idea what to do with my life (I'm in highschool so I'm talking about future career)
Great presentation and I understood it. My question: are any teams specifically searching for the intermediate size black holes?
Love the nod to Anton. You're both awesome.
6) The black hole that forms in the pit of your stomach whenever you see the photo of the original LHC scientists, and see the guy who looks exactly like Gordon Freeman.
I’ve been watching other videos on TH-cam about Motion Amplification. They take a high resolution video of machinery in operation and run it through a computer algorithm that amplifies any small change in the pixels by 5, 10, 100 times, whatever you need. The result is you can see vibrations and oscillations in equipment and structures. You can spot problems before they become breakdowns, or worse.
It seems to me this would be perfect for astronomy! It could help detect small changes or patterns of movement or even changes in color. Maybe even help visualize some of that raw data. Just a thought.
I come to Dr. Becky for the science. I stay for those stellar eyes!
Thankyou ma'am for this knowledge...You are great ma'am thankyou so much....👍
That you mentioned Anton, made my day.
Thank you so much for uploading this video. It is helping me get through the pandemic!
Very good content Dr Becky. Thanks, I've learned thanks to your video a bunch of things about black holes that I didn't know.
Great summary. Be aware that there are many assumptions and inferences that go into black hole astrophysics. This can and has led to confirmation bias. The mass gap problem is unresolved.
Love reliving my youth watching Spongebob with my son. And getting him to watch physics stuff and math, a lot a math. (He’s almost 7)
cool the work on the star orbiting the center of the galaxy just won a Nobel prize
@Peter Mortensen last physics prize, Andrea Mia Ghez, Reinhard Genzel, and Sir Roger Penrose.
I never realised stars "lost" so much mass before collapsing into black holes. I'd always had it in my head that a 3 stellar mass black hole came from a star three times the mass of our sun. Huh. Thanks Dr Becky 😁
I can never figure out why the early universe didn't form a black hole pretty much straight away. I asked my physics teacher at high school some thirty five years ago, and he had no idea.
The simple answer is that the universe was expanding so quickly that a black hole could not form. See
math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/BlackHoles/universe.html
Maybe I am just too sleep-deprived, but every time you said "stellar remnants" I heard "stellar revenants". So now black holes are undead stars. That is awesome.
Can you please make a video on what books should an aspiring astrophysicist should definitely read .I will be super happy if you do and I am sure the other thousands of people will be too .
Thanks
Thanks for the vid. Always great.
love your channel so informative
Black Holes have always been fascinating to me
Like *so* cool.
This was an amazing video!
Great video. You are one of the people who made me interested in black holes.
Hello wonderful person Dr. Becky!
Can’t wait for your follow up episode discussing the Spin of Black Holes and how it affects a galaxy’s growth and size.
Your content is great. Thanks for sharing! ♥♥
I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready... for a DrBecky Sings Supermassive Compilation
I like the idea of black holes being the recycling centers of the universe that create new universes. Black holes are my favorite thing in space because they're so freaking weird lol. Plus, they're fun for the imagination. Love the idea that our big bang happened from an ultra massive black hole in another universe eating a galaxy bigger than the largest known galaxy in our universe. The time and reality distortion always makes me wonder if what takes trillions of years in one universe is happening in the time of a big bang in a new universe.
Dr Becky using Spongebobs for the thumbnail, I say that's AWESOME!!😂😂
