@@JustinOhio This is the closest thing we will probably ever get to a true picture of a black hole like it or not. So much of what you said is incorrect that it’s upsetting that you would refer to the work of real scientists as “simple models”.

I find it funny that you, knowing full well that those scientists are far more knowledgeable and studied on this topic than you, would downplay the work that went into creating the accurate model of a black hole with our current understanding of physics. A healthy amount of skepticism is necessary for science to happen but effectively baseless assumptions like this border on pure nonsense. Something else that bothers me about your comment is about this whole applying some “simple logic” to the topic. Black holes are likely the most extreme objects in the universe and often don’t follow the norms of what we see in the rest of the universe. Just using “simple logic” doesn’t work when the object in question essentially functions by its own set of rules. So how about we stop attempting to downplay what might be the single most incredible picture taken by humanity to date, ok? Mind you this is a targeted comment and I most likely wouldn’t have felt the need to call you out if you didn’t needlessly insult the work of people who actually understand the topic you’re trying to discuss.
At least we've solved most of the problems associated with falling into the Earth. Though my kids are constantly trying to find new ways to make falling into the Earth hurt...
I have a technical question that I've been struggling to find an answer to. If you were somehow able to remove and isolate an Earth mass of magnetar material, would it maintain its density and magnetic properties (can still spin if necessary), or is there a minimum mass for these things and it would just explode?
Why would a magnetar just explode out of nowhere? If neutron stars were unstable, they would not form in the first place. How and why should a neutron star explode? Any object can be compressed into a neutron star in theory.
I grew up hearing the word said both ways, never are the stuff at home. Asked many families what it was (‘90-‘05 people weren’t as fancy in my small town or modern) and no one was able to explain it to me until befriending a person with Italian roots. It usually takes me some time before I get the right way to do something that I know nothing about.
As an Italian, I consider notchee the English translation of gnocchi (kinda nnee-ockee). Like brooshettah is English for bruschetta (broo-skeeit-tah) and zook-kee-neeeee is American English for zucchine (zook-keenai)
@@ffrreeddyy123456 gn in gnocchi is an Italian sound without any similar sound in English. Kinda pronounced with your tongue touching the back if your palate. Fun fact, it's also the only spelling in Italian that you cannot immediately recognise reading the letters. In some words it is pronounced g-n as in gnome, and you need to know ancient Greek to guess which words. Double fun fact. In Italian, gnomo (gnome) is pronounced nnioh-moh like gnocchi.

Honestly, photons interacting with a magnetic field at all doesn't occur, if my understanding about the force carrier particles and their interactions with fields is somewhat sound.
I found this video a few months ago while researching info for a science communications project for a class (yep i did a podcast on magnetars) and have been binging all your videos since then.

(And i did get an A on that project, and cited your video so thanks for that too!)

@@idastenlund7041 the curiousity set in our hearts seems to be not just a coincidence. I feel like it’s purposefully made to be fulfilled brother. I feel the same way. I want to be able to see the artwork of the universe which I believe is Gods canvas. And to see the things our temporary limited bodies can witness.
From Wikipedia: "A magnetar's 10^10 tesla field has an energy density of 4.0×10^25 J/m^3, with an E/c^2 mass density more than 10,000 times that of lead... X-ray photons readily split in two or merge. The vacuum itself is polarized, becoming strongly birefringent, like a calcite crystal. Atoms are deformed into long cylinders thinner than the quantum-relativistic de Broglie wavelength of an electron. In a field of about 10^5 teslas atomic orbitals deform into rod shapes. At 10^10 teslas, a hydrogen atom becomes a spindle 200 times narrower than its normal diameter." What even
Do you have a specific question about that, or do just have problems imagining the effects of a magnetic field that strong? I might be able to help, if your "What even" refers to the first option. If it is the second option, I can only recommend learning about physics until your brain is ready to imagine things way beyond the human experience of the world, granted this usually takes some time.
The shape of the orbits deforming like that is one of those things that you don't expect yet is so obvious in hindsight. But at a macro level what does it look like?
The Jupiter video has always been a favorite of mine. The “I will remember you” joke has stuck with me and I still laugh about it when I randomly think of it
12:15 "it would be the acceleration that would kill you first" In free fall you're in an inertial reference frame, so you don't feel any acceleration. If it weren't for the tidal forces, you wouldn't feel anything. In fact, the only reason you feel the acceleration in a racing car for instance, is that the accelerating forces are applied non-uniformly : the back of your seat transmit forces to the posterior side of your body which then squishes the anterior side. In a way, it's similar to a tidal effect : it's all about acceleration differentials, not absolutes.
Never have I heard a better explanation of how stars function and become Black Holes (The whole fusion thing), but you just broke it down super simple and in about 15 seconds. Wow, nicely done!
I've been subscribed for over 4 years now and its been great to watch you mature and really find your style. You are one of the few channels that I look forward to your new videos. Thank you for all your effort, keep up the great work!
Hey Scott! Are you sure you "feel" the acceleration while in free fall? Falling into a magnestar is still free fall right? Its like floating, but in a curved spacetime.
Dude with 2 first names, This video was epic. You're like a better mashup of NDT and chuck nice. Not quite halfway through and I sub'd. Keep doing you!
I like you re show the most of you tube. You combine interesting subjects with nice kind of dry ironic humor :) Go on. Make more. I cant get enough of it 😊
@japanese machine with mint eyes Ify ou are in free fall towards such a body, you don't experience forces, just like astronaughts experience zero gravity, or weightlessness. Joe got that wrong in the video. I'll just assume English isn't your first language.
What he says at 1:35 is impossible. You cannot see the singularity of a black hole. You cannot see anything inside the event horizon. No one knows what's inside. There is no proof that black hole singularities exist. I believe what's inside the event horizon is either a neutron star or a quark star given that the radius of the event horizon of the smallest ever discovered black hole is larger than the radius of the largest ever discovered neutron star. Black holes could simply be neutron stars that are massive enough to generate event horizons. Both neutron stars and black holes have jets.
I’d like to propose Joe Scott’s Law, modelled after Betteridge’s Law of Headlines. If one of Joe’s videos starts with “What would happen if...” the answer is a horrible death.
11:29 I think time dilation would work in another direction in this case, similar to falling in a black hole. Seconds of your subjective time will stretch in tens of seconds for an outside observer.
I look at the title: "What Would Happen If You Fell Into A Magnetar?" ... I start laughing: "Well... you would DIE, duuh!" ... then I click on the video and start watching it...
I remember reading a paper years ago that speculated that the answer to the Fermi paradox and the Drake equation is that the frequency that GRBs happen has slowed over time, and now allows enough time for intelligent life to evolve. In our part of the universe at least. So we're among the first, and the filter is early on in a species evolution but is getting less hazardous.
Well that was pretty good.! But you got the process a little wrong plus backwards. The first thing that would happen if you were approaching the magnetic field of a magnetar is as follows. First every electrical impulse in your body would be short-circuited by an EMP strong enough to do that. Which would cause your death. And before ever reaching anywhere near the speed of light. It would rip the iron right out of your body. And so forth and so on with every other material your body is made out of. Because all materials respond to magnetic fields of a high enough intensity or Gaus. And so you would become spaghettifyd. But from the magnetic field not the gravity. If you could somehow make it close enough to the magnetar without being affected by its electromagnetic field. Then you'd be spaghettified by the gravity. But not before becoming spaghettified by the magnetic field. And while you may experienced some hallucinations. You would certainly die first from all the nerves in your body ceasing function at the same time. So you're right that he wouldn't feel anything. When all of this other stuff happens. Because you'd be long dead before then.
I was thinking this. It's not the acceleration that kills you; you wouldn't even feel that. It's the tidal force, IE the difference in force pulling on different parts of your body. For instance, your head may be pulled by 10,000 Gs while your feet are pulled at 10,100. You wouldn't feel the 10,000 Gs at all while in freefall, but you would certainly feel your feet being pulled away at nearly 1,000 ft/s². I haven't done the math, but I imagine you'd have to be well into the magnetic field before that happened.
@@chitlitlah Exactly. The Magnetic field stretches out for light-years. While a gravitational field that's strong for something that small in diameter would be much closer to the pulsar. Which means you would be pulled apart over a very short distance from the magnetar. Assuming the magnetic field didn't get you first. Which it would. Similar to a supermassive black hole. Which have such a long gravitational gradient. You can actually passed the event horizon before you even notice you're in the black hole. Thing is that you would die from heat and radiation present in the Accretion Disc around the black. From light-years away. Our biology is simply not designed to function even a couple of light-years away from such hostile environments.
I have to say, as much as I've heard about being spaghettified by black holes and other superdense objects, it's more interesting and novel to think about being killed by magnetism so great, it may electrocute you by pushing your electrons around in your body. If it doesn't, the magnetic field would get so intense, it would start ionizing your molecules and atoms and it's hard to even say what exactly would kill you: the heat, shutdown of synapses, being ripped apart, etc. Death by magnetism is something you don't hear about often.
@@chitlitlah LOL. That's true. It is a scarcely cover topic.! But Dr. Michio Kaku Did a pretty good. I originally first learned it from him. If you're interested. I'm sure you could just Google "Dr. Michio Kaku Magnetar"
1:38 " You can see the singularity and the event horizon there in the middle...". What was that joe! No you can't see the singularity. Only the absence of light in the middle shows whereabouts of the event horizon is; that's all we can see. BTW great fan of your work. Salute Bro.
Yes he screwed up. Also note that that dark shadow is exactly 2.5 times the actual event horizon distance since that is the distance at which light can orbit the black hole the light ring the EVT imaged is actually a projection of the photon sphere or photons which had enough energy to bend around the black hole just outside the light orbital distance. This is an important distinction as the black hole shadow is the closest you can see around a black hole in the region far closer to the black hole well within the ISCO(Innermost Stable Circular Orbit) where the accretion disk ends as no matter can orbit. The EVT was and is truly one of the most spectacular accomplishments of all time.

Joe. The image of the SMBH at the centre of M87 was 'taken' using numerous Radio Telescopes set up like an interferometer. The invisible radiowaves were then processed by very powerful computers and algorithms that 'represented' their data as an image expressed in visible wavelengths (colours) of light that we can see. The event horizon and the SMBH towards the centre are not visible and cannot be visualised in any way since nothing escapes from there.
I've always thought of a star as a explosion so massive that its gravity wouldn't let it expand beyond a point that kept it dense enough to keep feeding itself. It's great to know that, like with most things, I'm both right and wrong.
hey Joe -- i could be wrong here but I don't think acceleration from gravity would kill you no matter how strong the gravity is. Only the sheer force of the gravity would be apparent to you as you get closer toward the center (ie you feel when different parts of your body are accelerated at different rates which is what happens in a car but not when all parts of your body are accelerated evenly e.g. falling in a constant gravitational field.)
Being accelerated by gravity does not cause g-forces. All the atoms in your body are being accelerated equally, so there are no stresses on your body. What you will get are tidal forces, which pull the side of you facing the source of gravity a bit stronger than the side facing away from it. Which with the massive gravity gradient near neutron stars and black holes can rip you apart. But that's spagettifications.

For people who missheard it: The Thors hammer was forged IN the core of the neutron star. Not FROM the core of the neutron stars core. It does not weigh as much as an neutron stars core. Its just very advanced technology. Even Thor himself says it. "You call it magic, where I comefrom its technilogy.
The smallest black hole is the smallest distance in space time - 1 planck volume. Compress enough mass in to one Planck volume it will become a black hole. It will also explode picoseconds later. So with "the smallest black hole" you need to define what the shortest period it can exist for as well.
Thumbs up. + 11:10 the problem is not the high acceleration, magnetar or not, it's still free fall, rather it's that _close_ to the star/magnetar the free fall acceleration of your feet (falling feet first) becomes significantly higher than the free fall acceleration of your head, hence spaghettification, or, in other words, tidal forces pull you apart.
No, the star itself will have to be like 8 solar masses minimum to create a black hole. The black hole that will be left behind is about 3 solar masses. The line between neutron star and black hole is somewhere between 2 and 3, but it requires a star of about 8 solar masses because most of the mass is lost in the blast. And time dilation works in the opposite direction
You guys just blew my mind and made me think up my own question; Suppose you have an object just barely above that limit to become either a star or a black hole. The star or black hole looses mass in the form of radiation. Eventually, over time it's no longer above that minimum limit. What happens to the star or black hole that's LESS than the predicted minimum mass? 🤔
How a magnetar generates the extreme magnetic field is that in the process of collspse the surface of it has a very thin layer of atomic iron nuclei that has a spin in phase. Due to the extreme gravity it is what is called a topological superconductor at this point. As it continues to collapse, the flux is pinned within the substrate by anything charged. As the core collapses the neutrons expel the magnetic field that gathers in the surface layers.
You would not feel any acceleration falling into a star, or any other body no matter how strong its gravity is. 12:13 That's why they call it "free fall". The force that eventually causes spaghettification as you get very close is similar to Earth's "tides", i.e. the uneven gravitational attraction on your body due to the different distances from the center of the object.
As a lasagne lover who has savoured the best AND worst of lasagnes in countries across Europe… including those microwave ones in the UK years ago with horse meat in them… I can safely say my chosen way to leave this realm. Is to eat a slice of neutron star lasagne as it blows half the planet off of my blissful face in a thermonuclear apocalypse of delicious tasty pasta.
9:53 - When a proton and an electron fuse (which also needs enough energy to provide the gain of mass), they don't emit a neutrino to equalize the charge, but to preserve the number of leptons.
The strong gravitational field from any celestial body will not rip you apart. Acceleration from a gravitation force does not create the feeling of acceleration, it creates the feeling of weightlessness. Think the vomit commit or skydiving with no air friction. Now the gravitational gradient may indeed rip you apart as your feet are farther into the gravity well then your head, but the exceptionally strong gravity would not be the culprit.

Just using “simple logic” doesn’t work when the object in question essentially functions by its own set of rules. So how about we stop attempting to downplay what might be the single most incredible picture taken by humanity to date, ok? Mind you this is a targeted comment and I most likely wouldn’t have felt the need to call you out if you didn’t needlessly insult the work of people who actually understand the topic you’re trying to discuss.

I have a technical question that I've been struggling to find an answer to.
If you were somehow able to remove and isolate an Earth mass of magnetar material, would it maintain its density and magnetic properties (can still spin if necessary), or is there a minimum mass for these things and it would just explode?

From Wikipedia:
"A magnetar's 10^10 tesla field has an energy density of 4.0×10^25 J/m^3, with an E/c^2 mass density more than 10,000 times that of lead... X-ray photons readily split in two or merge. The vacuum itself is polarized, becoming strongly birefringent, like a calcite crystal. Atoms are deformed into long cylinders thinner than the quantum-relativistic de Broglie wavelength of an electron. In a field of about 10^5 teslas atomic orbitals deform into rod shapes. At 10^10 teslas, a hydrogen atom becomes a spindle 200 times narrower than its normal diameter."
What even
What even indeed. Physics in those extreme environments is nuts.
Do you have a specific question about that, or do just have problems imagining the effects of a magnetic field that strong? I might be able to help, if your "What even" refers to the first option.
If it is the second option, I can only recommend learning about physics until your brain is ready to imagine things way beyond the human experience of the world, granted this usually takes some time.
The shape of the orbits deforming like that is one of those things that you don't expect yet is so obvious in hindsight. But at a macro level what does it look like?

12:15 "it would be the acceleration that would kill you first"
In free fall you're in an inertial reference frame, so you don't feel any acceleration. If it weren't for the tidal forces, you wouldn't feel anything.
In fact, the only reason you feel the acceleration in a racing car for instance, is that the accelerating forces are applied non-uniformly : the back of your seat transmit forces to the posterior side of your body which then squishes the anterior side. In a way, it's similar to a tidal effect : it's all about acceleration differentials, not absolutes.

What he says at 1:35 is impossible. You cannot see the singularity of a black hole. You cannot see anything inside the event horizon. No one knows what's inside. There is no proof that black hole singularities exist. I believe what's inside the event horizon is either a neutron star or a quark star given that the radius of the event horizon of the smallest ever discovered black hole is larger than the radius of the largest ever discovered neutron star. Black holes could simply be neutron stars that are massive enough to generate event horizons. Both neutron stars and black holes have jets.

I remember reading a paper years ago that speculated that the answer to the Fermi paradox and the Drake equation is that the frequency that GRBs happen has slowed over time, and now allows enough time for intelligent life to evolve. In our part of the universe at least. So we're among the first, and the filter is early on in a species evolution but is getting less hazardous.
There's no empirical evidence for the drake equation.
And there's no evidence that the frequency of GRB has slowed.
"falling into Jupiter would be bad, very bad, don't do this!"
thanks mate, i keep it in mind.
Well that was pretty good.!
But you got the process a little wrong plus backwards.
The first thing that would happen if you were approaching the magnetic field of a magnetar is as follows.
First every electrical impulse in your body would be short-circuited by an EMP strong enough to do that. Which would cause your death.
And before ever reaching anywhere near the speed of light.
It would rip the iron right out of your body.
And so forth and so on with every other material your body is made out of. Because all materials respond to magnetic fields of a high enough intensity or Gaus.
And so you would become spaghettifyd. But from the magnetic field not the gravity.
If you could somehow make it close enough to the magnetar without being affected by its electromagnetic field. Then you'd be spaghettified by the gravity.
But not before becoming spaghettified by the magnetic field.
And while you may experienced some hallucinations. You would certainly die first from all the nerves in your body ceasing function at the same time.
So you're right that he wouldn't feel anything. When all of this other stuff happens. Because you'd be long dead before then.
I was thinking this. It's not the acceleration that kills you; you wouldn't even feel that. It's the tidal force, IE the difference in force pulling on different parts of your body. For instance, your head may be pulled by 10,000 Gs while your feet are pulled at 10,100. You wouldn't feel the 10,000 Gs at all while in freefall, but you would certainly feel your feet being pulled away at nearly 1,000 ft/s². I haven't done the math, but I imagine you'd have to be well into the magnetic field before that happened.
@@chitlitlah Exactly. The Magnetic field stretches out for light-years. While a gravitational field that's strong for something that small in diameter would be much closer to the pulsar. Which means you would be pulled apart over a very short distance from the magnetar. Assuming the magnetic field didn't get you first. Which it would.
Similar to a supermassive black hole. Which have such a long gravitational gradient. You can actually passed the event horizon before you even notice you're in the black hole.
Thing is that you would die from heat and radiation present in the Accretion Disc around the black. From light-years away.
Our biology is simply not designed to function even a couple of light-years away from such hostile environments.
I have to say, as much as I've heard about being spaghettified by black holes and other superdense objects, it's more interesting and novel to think about being killed by magnetism so great, it may electrocute you by pushing your electrons around in your body. If it doesn't, the magnetic field would get so intense, it would start ionizing your molecules and atoms and it's hard to even say what exactly would kill you: the heat, shutdown of synapses, being ripped apart, etc. Death by magnetism is something you don't hear about often.
@@chitlitlah LOL. That's true. It is a scarcely cover topic.!

What was that joe! No you can't see the singularity. Only the absence of light in the middle shows whereabouts of the event horizon is; that's all we can see. BTW great fan of your work. Salute Bro.
Yes he screwed up. Also note that that dark shadow is exactly 2.5 times the actual event horizon distance since that is the distance at which light can orbit the black hole the light ring the EVT imaged is actually a projection of the photon sphere or photons which had enough energy to bend around the black hole just outside the light orbital distance. This is an important distinction as the black hole shadow is the closest you can see around a black hole in the region far closer to the black hole well within the ISCO(Innermost Stable Circular Orbit) where the accretion disk ends as no matter can orbit. The EVT was and is truly one of the most spectacular accomplishments of all time.

Joe. The image of the SMBH at the centre of M87 was 'taken' using numerous Radio Telescopes set up like an interferometer. The invisible radiowaves were then processed by very powerful computers and algorithms that 'represented' their data as an image expressed in visible wavelengths (colours) of light that we can see. The event horizon and the SMBH towards the centre are not visible and cannot be visualised in any way since nothing escapes from there.
You know, last week I almost fell into one of them cheeky little magnetars.
Sillly me.
I've always thought of a star as a explosion so massive that its gravity wouldn't let it expand beyond a point that kept it dense enough to keep feeding itself. It's great to know that, like with most things, I'm both right and wrong.
"While Jupiter might be the hotshot of the solar system" Oh so my plans of base jumping into the Sun are still good.
hey Joe -- i could be wrong here but I don't think acceleration from gravity would kill you no matter how strong the gravity is. Only the sheer force of the gravity would be apparent to you as you get closer toward the center (ie you feel when different parts of your body are accelerated at different rates which is what happens in a car but not when all parts of your body are accelerated evenly e.g. falling in a constant gravitational field.)

Being accelerated by gravity does not cause g-forces. All the atoms in your body are being accelerated equally, so there are no stresses on your body.
What you will get are tidal forces, which pull the side of you facing the source of gravity a bit stronger than the side facing away from it. Which with the massive gravity gradient near neutron stars and black holes can rip you apart. But that's spagettifications.

The smallest black hole is the smallest distance in space time - 1 planck volume. Compress enough mass in to one Planck volume it will become a black hole. It will also explode picoseconds later. So with "the smallest black hole" you need to define what the shortest period it can exist for as well.
Thumbs up.
+ 11:10 the problem is not the high acceleration, magnetar or not, it's still free fall, rather it's that _close_ to the star/magnetar the free fall acceleration of your feet (falling feet first) becomes significantly higher than the free fall acceleration of your head, hence spaghettification, or, in other words, tidal forces pull you apart.
No, the star itself will have to be like 8 solar masses minimum to create a black hole. The black hole that will be left behind is about 3 solar masses. The line between neutron star and black hole is somewhere between 2 and 3, but it requires a star of about 8 solar masses because most of the mass is lost in the blast. And time dilation works in the opposite direction
This is the video that has actually sent me to Brilliant- I teach a space class (9x/week) and that space one you mentioned at the end sounds awesome!
Your analogies are the greatest!
You guys just blew my mind and made me think up my own question;
Suppose you have an object just barely above that limit to become either a star or a black hole.
The star or black hole looses mass in the form of radiation.
Eventually, over time it's no longer above that minimum limit.
What happens to the star or black hole that's LESS than the predicted minimum mass? 🤔
How a magnetar generates the extreme magnetic field is that in the process of collspse the surface of it has a very thin layer of atomic iron nuclei that has a spin in phase. Due to the extreme gravity it is what is called a topological superconductor at this point. As it continues to collapse, the flux is pinned within the substrate by anything charged. As the core collapses the neutrons expel the magnetic field that gathers in the surface layers.
More of this please and Thank you

“Eating physics, bro?” Made me lol for real! Love your videos!
You would not feel any acceleration falling into a star, or any other body no matter how strong its gravity is. 12:13 That's why they call it "free fall". The force that eventually causes spaghettification as you get very close is similar to Earth's "tides", i.e. the uneven gravitational attraction on your body due to the different distances from the center of the object.

The strong gravitational field from any celestial body will not rip you apart. Acceleration from a gravitation force does not create the feeling of acceleration, it creates the feeling of weightlessness. Think the vomit commit or skydiving with no air friction. Now the gravitational gradient may indeed rip you apart as your feet are farther into the gravity well then your head, but the exceptionally strong gravity would not be the culprit.
