    Black hole stars may have been the largest stars to ever exist. They burned brighter than galaxies and were Larger than any star today or that could ever exist in the future. But besides their scale, what makes them special and weird is that deep inside, they were occupied by a cosmic parasite, an endlessly hungry black hole. How is that even possible?

      @@chinnuv494 yes it's indeed the same track that used for their Black Hole Size comparison video, but that's mainly because this video is a continuation of that. They mentioned Quasi-Stars on that video and it's creation finally gets explained here.
      Also TON 618 being used as a comparison here means that Kurgesazt is pretty much describing the creation of the Phoenix A* cluster Black Hole, which recently unseated TON 618.

      ​@@thelastroman7791 I've actually simulated a quasi-star in Universe Sandbox and it took Earth 620,270 years to orbit it in its habitable zone (semi-major axis = 9.97 ly).
      It definitely will complete a full orbit, but it only has a handful of orbits left.
      Wikipedia stated that a quasi-star lives for only 7 million years at most.
      That means Earth can only orbit it for ~11 times before it dies.
      Compare that with Earth around Sun before the latter's death counted onwards from now, which is pretty much still 5 billion orbits left.

That for reference is about 70% of the distance to the nearest other star besides our Sun, Proxima Centauri.

And they had advisors that a lot of other sci-fi didn’t, but just didn’t see the need to render all that.

Black holes that are too big to develop in the way we know. But with that being said, many other video's on this channel are definitely 'science fact'. I'm not sure what exactly you mean when saying science fact, as nothing is ever an unchangeable fact. The closest thing that comes to science fact is a peer reviewed theory.
