- Black Holes are amongst the most destructive things in the Universe, but it may be that properly utilized, they might be the best places in the galaxy to live around in the future, and possibly right here in our own solar system too.

I think that extra episode, Paperclip Maximizer, is actually already out today, today was the 'all goes right' launch date and amazingly it appears to have :)
Check out the Paperclip Maximizer: watchnebula.com/isaacarthur
What's that about, Isaac?
@@albertjackinson got to be about an a.i. designed to make paperclips as its prime motivation. He has mentioned it before as a possible doomsday scenario
@@albertjackinson It's a thought experiment about a PDA that is told to ensure your office has enough paperclips. The AI could be in perfect working order, but even this innocent goal can result in disaster because the AI is not following human morals or "common sense", so if getting more paperclips is it's highest goal it will consider things like following laws, taking new orders, or not taking over the world to enslave humanity in paperclip factories that will convert all available matter and energy into more paperclips, to be of secondary importance and therefore ignored if doing so will give it even one more paperclip than following such rules would do.
This vid about the paperclip maximizer is great!

Thanks from many to many.
Is there an app version of the website? I like to make playlists from different content providers
Aliens: Black hole is dangerous
Arthur: Free real estate
😂😂😂😂
Alien: "Well, there are some terran humanoids realizing some rather good space space space space stuff actually and communicating it rather efficiently. l like e dat! hmm cool."
Me: "I know right!"
Alien: You understand that stuff a bit eh?
Me: Well... try me.. not on the most fked up math details or that delightfully useful not delightful algebra IMM cuz I was not enjoying school at age 10 to now... fuk that box.. school was ridiculous and gets an F+ hahahaha!!! Really..
teachers comment on that test says to it: "Laughable, not even a nice try.. try again please.. gentleman. You can do so much better. ENJOY YOUR SUMMER!"
Alien: "Exactly dude!.. yeah.. Sweet. YOU wanna check out my ride little dude?"
Me: Hmm later I want to take the next days at least for my employer and work hard and confident for her sake and mine since she did just give me a good bone to chew on metaphorically speaking.. but soon dude yes please. Very yes!"
Alien: Cool, have a good one lets stay comm range after a week or so ok?"
Me: " Yeees.. Excellent! Cya slimy! 😁"
@@gumunduringigumundsson9344
I actually have trouble understanding what you said here. I have no kind words for you right now.
@The Coward Liberius Alien: Sir.. some heroic coward dude is cool btw but please take into account the savagegery in theyre medicine so called business.
Alien: So what.
Alien: And no doctor or medical professional has, except one time, suggested any pills except some shit called quintapene that he threw away after two tries.
Alien: Right. And what?
Alien: lol Im going afk see you sir hahaha..
Me: Okay.. so hava a good one! Try to take care and also care please. You do.. I know.. but perhaps someone else would like to be reminded. Heyrumst vinir!"
Alien: "But he sounds so rational, despite the obvious.. he said some pretty gooshi right?"
Alien: Mhm perpaps.. who cares?
Alien: Sir.. you know who.
Alien: Yes, I suppose you are right.
Me: Wtf you guys talking about.. I just met (on what is easily the warmest and brightest day of the year so far) two dudes that I heard through my hotel window and greeted them. They spoke some high level jumbo jibberish but with almost my accent nota bene... intriguing. They reminded me to put Færeyjar on the list I was referring to on another comment/question.
@@The_Crimson_Fucker Me: Yo there Crimson Fuck thing I know what you mean. If you had made this I would say the same to you. I would and do very much hope you would tell me also to give it a chance like me I atm here will do.
Me: Can you like.. think about it please.. or not dude. No one needs to read everything if we stay at least somewhat greatly back to back to back to back to back etc.. (pedantic jibberish happened one time here for some words) ok fine cool bro.
I respect humans and life and even rocks and shi a great deal about almost all of the time.. live and learn baby.

"Black Holes are among the most dangerous and deatructive things in the universe...... So let's go live on one!"
Your sales pitch could use some work Isaac!
Have to admit; as an estate agent you're not convincing. I don't think I'd be buying any property based on that pitch myself :)
@@frankreynolds445 not completely impossible but there are quite a few assumptions there. Like how do you know the value of the weak nuclear force can be altered? Maybe it's just fundamental
I think he was saying it ironically.
@@iStormUK Lots of people like to live dangerously; that pitch has niche appeal, but the niche exists.
I love this! What an opening! But let us perfect living on the surface of the sun first and then the center. Then we are ready to move on a black hole.
"Black Holes are among the most dangerous and destructive things in the universe...... So let's go live on one!"
Oh Isaac, in previous times I would have been more than skeptical, but now it does not even warrant raised eyebrow from me. Great and informative as always.
It’s dark and stormy outside as I watch.⛈ thunder rumbling. But the coffee is hot the snacks delicious and the vid is excellent.
*click* nice
“It’s dark and stormy outside as I watch”
... so, you live on a Neptunian chandelier city? Lol
"The Ultimate Tourist Trap" seems like it would be an epic 'Doctor Who' or 'Hitchhiker's Guide'-style storyline.
If making a Doctor Who episode, I'd suggest getting Steven Moffat to write it. The title just begs to be paired with a tanker full of Nightmare Fuel.
@@Roxor128 "But *why* would anyone wish to keep us all here with a Black Hole's gravity well?"
" It can only be because they derive nourishment from the emotions of the trapped tourists!"
Look up Doctor Who episode 'Impossible Planet'.
@@Roxor128 Most indeedy do do that.. I will ask my buddy S.Fry to order Moffat to aim to please you for the duration it takes to finish the episode as you like it.
Dr Who 4tw. Seen all old and new a few times. That name is terrifying btw, perfectly uuuu!
@@anna-elizabeth Or are keeping them in a slow time stasis around the EH to experiment and use them when it suits.
Next up Issac will explain how to colonise a supernova . This I am sure of
I eagerly await lol
Technically that would be this episode, since black holes are often formed from the core of a star going supernova, generally quite large ones too
@@UNSCPILOT good point
"Technically, anything close enough to a blazar to be considered 'living on' it would be immediately vaporized and spread across millions of lightyears. However..."
@@abhiprakash74999 so riding supernovae? Not gonna lie that sounds freakin sweet.

*Gets interdicted by a thargoid* Nope. Nope. Nope.
“...the most dangerous and destructive...so, let’s go mess about with one...”. I love the image of optimistic scientists and engineers starting such a big project. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😂❤️❤️❤️🙈🥔👽👽👽👽👽👽🦄

@@nandodando9695 The "Push The Button, Frank" methodology
@@Satellite_Of_Love a corollary to the "Watch this!" and "Hold my beer..." modalities.
One of the most, dangerous things that exist in the universe - so lets go live on one.
Isaac sounds like a dwarf fortress player.
Given how useful (yet dangerous) volcanoes are to the typical dwarf? Ayup.
I want a space Dwarf Fortress game now.
It was inevitable.
Life is just dwarf fortress but more boring and less clowns
Praise Armok!
End of 2017/Beginning of 2018: Intergalactic Colonization and Colonizing the Sun
Now: Dying Stars, Planet Ships, Matrioshka Worlds, Black Hole Ships, Fleet of Stars, Colonizing Black Holes, Weaponizing Black Holes.
The scale increase is awesome. This episode reached a literal mega earth as a sidenote. That used to be the big point to build up to in an episode, now it's only 8-9 minutes in.
The power scaling in this show is terrifying, and terrificly awesome
Order of magnitude of imagination in this channel is amazing, truly galactic scale of imagination !!
Let's colonize that imagination!
We’re in it for the long run Isaac 👍👍👍
im only at 1:10 but this comment has a realll omenius fell to it lol
Rum first.. Now our longest run yet.
The perfect bedtime story videos.
I play em as I doze off and find myself with amazing near-sleep dreams. Although I do feel bad that I miss a third of the videos because of such. But It does mean they've got even more replay value.
Thanks Issac for somehow never missing a beat with each and every video.
Same
I'll have to try that! Might make my dreams more interesting.
You get an upvote for that "tourist trap" comment. Welcome to the Hotel California.
Too bad the episode was written too early to mention the Halo Drive.
Yeah we'll get to the halo drive, at some point, it doesn't fit this topic for today anyway
Yeah, black holes are the ultimate hotel Californias! You can check into a black hole, but you can't check out again!
It sounds like such a cheerful song, but the lyrics are absolutely horrific
@@libertopaeurekananarch7562 hotel California is you can check it any time you want but your can never leave
@12:30 it sounds like the place to build The Restaurant at the End of the Universe.
Just enough time to get an autograph from Hotblack Desiato!
One of the coolest concepts that i have waited for you to make a video on. Thank you Isaac, you are by far my favorite youtuber!
I'll have to watch it, then. No, wait, I WANT to watch it!
Thank you sir. You never disappoint.
Great job! Looking forward to an episode on "Faster than Light"
He already did a serie on this subject, go check out his older work.
@@gaspardduclos5203 Ah, thank you :D
m.th-cam.com/play/PLIIOUpOge0Lv2jCm7LnYBiRYAPvxHyuWL.html
I love this channel! Suns as ships. Black holes as valuable real estate.
SyFy or some mainstream outlet should pick this up. As a culture it could teach us to dream again. Going back to the moon is not enough to remind us that we are ALL just tiny sparks, on a tiny rock, circling around a tiny spark that’s swirling among other tiny sparks....
Someday.
Thank you Isaac!
There's a misconception you might be unintentionally spreading. Escape velocity does not mean you have to be moving at that velocity in order to escape its gravity well. That's just the initial velocity necessary to escape a gravity well if it does not have any acceleration beyond the initial shove. You can still escape a gravity well at well beneath escape velocity as long as you have constant acceleration that surpasses the acceleration due to gravity at the ship's positive relative to the gravity well.
So if you are in orbit around a super massive black hole with an escape velocity of 50%c, but are at a distance where gravity is equal to 10 m/s^2, you only need to maintain an acceleration greater than that to escape the black hole.
Black Holes: *is the most dangerous and destructive thing in the universe*
Issac Arthur: Let's go live on one
Imagine star trek or star gate running into a civilization using black holes. Issac needs to consult on a scyfy series because it would be incredible.
"That's no Dyson sphere..."
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair
"This episo--"
*LIKE*
Now I can start the episode...
Hahaha... Nice one.
Isaac: Black holes are amongst the most dangerous and destructive things in the universe... so let's go live on one.
Dude your comedic timing is next level sometimes :D
Isaac, I'm certainly looking forward to you covering Skylon and the SABRE engine. It seems like once it's a solved problem entry to orbit via a planetary body with an atmosphere rich in oxygen would be relatively easy in the future, given a suitable gravity well that we'd be comfortable living in. Spaceplanes need to factor in the rocket equation at the moment which inevitably means leads to a 'staged approach' or a carrier aircraft launching a smaller orbital craft designed to operate at higher altitudes. Carrying both your fuel and oxidiser to orbit along with the weight of your ship, crew, passengers and any cargo faces the law of diminishing returns very quickly.
Alan Bond and Reaction Engines have been trying to solve the SSTO conundrum for some time, since HOTOL in the 1980's. I've followed their progress closely and have watched several of his lectures/presentations over the years.
Once again an excellent video this week, more black hole videos are always appreciated :)
The force of gravity is the same as felt on Earth, but has 32X the escape velocity of Earth... making it quite the tourist trap. *Rotflmao* You sir can be unexpectedly hilarious sometimes--I tip my hat to you. = )
How can something have the same gravity as Earth, yet a higher escape velocity?
Libertopa EurekanAnarch Massive bodies have a much larger gravitational field. As the strength of gravity decreases dramatically with distance (inverse square), you could cherrypick a range from the black hole where you would feel an Earth level g of 9.8 m/s2 as long as you weren't orbiting around it and the ground you stood on wasn't falling towards it.
Now about escape velocity. Have you ever played Kerbal? As you learn to play it, you'll invariably shoot for the Mun, miss it, and discover you're now stuck out in space orbiting the sun watching your home planet (and its moons) float away.
Leaving a large gravity field is expensive. Once off the surface and in orbit, you're free falling, and can do it forever, but when changing your velocity to escape orbit, you're like a boat fighting against a current except it's a space ship traveling opposite of the pull of gravity.
As you traveled away from this humongous planet-like candy coating shell around a black hole, you would notice its gravitational attraction doesn't diminish like Earth's but instead feels like trying to leave a solar system, which takes orders of magnitude more energy to overcome than a mere planet, moon, or whatnot. Hope that helps. = )
IT'S A TRAP
I had to.
@@coopergates9680 good point. The tourist trap moment should have had a screen cap of Admiral Akbar in a Hawaiian shirt and straw hat, with an umbrella'ed fruity drink [and a snack!] at his side.
That lovely Stellardrone music
We will need to pin a huge bumper sticker onto the moon, reading: "My other ride is a black hole"
One thing about colonizing black holes is that the job of real estate agent becomes orders of magnitude harder. I mean, what happens if you're trying to sell a property orbiting a black hole, what do you say when the prospective client asks "What's the neighbourhood like?"
richardlbowles
The neighbors are friendly, because who would want to anger someone that lives on a black hole?
You won’t - almost can’t - be robbed by space pirates because the gravity well is too powerful for them to leave.
Anyone living nearby will inevitably grow older faster, meaning you will always be the wisest and most learned person around.
Oh, and you have an engine beneath your feet with the most amazing matter to energy ratio available.
Safe, secure, self sustaining for the most part, and you live longer?
Yes, please just sign on these lines...
@@nicholashernandez4611 True. I've also heard that public transport links and local schools are very good and the trash is collected twice weekly by the local council. Consider that a sale!
I believe that after 100 years scientists will laugh with the whole "Dyson sphere" concept.
I think it will look very primitive.
I am sure that there is a much easier way to get energy but we just haven't found it yet.
one thing I can think of is ZPMs, from Stargate the energy source that works by creating an artificial pocket universe and drawing power that way. But there are a labyrinth of possibilities that we haven't even dreamed of yet.
@@Brakiros - I wouldn't count on harvesting zero-point energy. As far as I know, it's the energy in our universe that's already at maximum entropy, so you can't use it for anything. To be able to do anything, you need an energy gradient you can harvest energy from as it flows down. Zero-point energy is the ocean at bottom of the mountain range. Or, at least, that's my understanding of it.
@@Roxor128 it doesn't draw energy from our universe though, but it would require knowing if making artificial universes or being able to crack into other universes if they exist that is. But drawing energy from other universes if they do exist doesn't sound like a very smart idea.
Love your channel. I've been doing my best to share it with friends/family, because you definitely deserve more subs.
Thats a lots of real estate
Isaac Arthur: its free real estate
Are you gonna do a video on super strong materials
I find it hard to accept that some people dislike some of Issac videos, almost sacrilege.
the concept of a giant artificial planet with a million times the area of earth powered by and given gravity by a black hole within - this is definitely my new favorite megastructure.
Right!
the graphics team is doing outstanding work on the episodes lately.
Next episode
Colonizing empty space 🤗
EZ XD
LOL. Great thought.
Isaac will /never/ do that one because it's so wrong scientifically. 😁 Okay, not unless he filled it with disclaimers that space is not completely empty, what with the interstellar medium and whatnot.
would you be willing to consider '' colonizing brown dwarfs"? I think it would be interesting to consider whar options exist in-between colonizing a star and a gas giant
Provided we see existence as emanation of power, then things like neutron star or active galaxy aka quasars or even black holes are more than fit for that. All comes down to what kind of life we are talking about.
Love your videos man! Really educating and interesting!
That title is something you'd only find on an Isaac Arthur video
Your Channel is Amazing! Very interesting topics and explained brilliantly, very glad I found your Channel.
Another Isaac Arthur's video, another insane fascinating ideas :D
Yus!
@Headhunter_FRANK - No doubt!!!
A fine Arthursday to you all!
Just want to say thanks for all you have given. Always love your content. Always.
I love the idea of the Nebula platform, I’ll be subscribing for sure. As you said, being at the mercy of TH-cam and the algorithm isn’t ideal.
Yeah, most YT creators would like to see some other options and changes to YT and a lot of the platforms connected to it, we figured we should give it a try. Hopefully it works out well and either grows or encourages some parallel attempts.
Isaac Arthur I hope so, I watched the paper clip maximizer video and it was the perfect kind of “side content” for your channel. It might be a great opportunity for you to explore topics you find interesting but not worth making a full video on. I hope the platform works out!
Holy cow! 8 seconds since posting? Normally, TH-cam doesn't let me know stuff is up until 2 days later.
@Roger Dottin Bell, yes - the rest no, but I thought the goat would be enough. ;p
Yaaas! Arthursadays give me life.
This is the kind of content i love most from this channel. This deep far future shit gets me so pumped.
yesssssssssssss this episode is going to be lit!! Isaac being amazing as usual
Love your videos man.
great video and thank you for the great content.
some highlight from this video
black hole = black hoo
Star = stoo
its own = it's ooo
deeper = dipoo
normal = nooomoo
center = sentoo
hole = "horse" sometimes
bigger = bigoo
slower = slovoo
closer = clousoo
Isaac seems to be aiming for being the first human to get the job title of stellar engineer
Here on Sol 3, we have Jupiter to vacuum the system to keep too much debris from hitting the Earth, a small target, but deep in Sol's gravity well. Seems to me that a shell world around a black hole would need some serious system cleaning before being viable.
Hell yeah! Let's go!
you are truly insane bro. keep the good work
Very nice to see this episode at my birthday. Thx Isaac :P
A star is literally a nuclear reactor dumping radioactive waste will corrupt and contaminate and completely throw off that reaction
could either poison the star or could make it suddenly balloon in size roasting any planet in the now no longer habitable green ring
I haven't done the math but I suspect you'd probably need multiple Earth masses worth of waste to have any noticeable effect on the Sun. It's still a terrible idea, of course, but for more mundane reasons.
We can colonize black holes now? *mind blown*
Mark Folashade are you New around here?
The title sounds ridiculous but I'm sure by the end of the video, It'll sound like the most basic thing ever
from clickbait to Manifest destiny in 30 minutes or your money back!
@@madhijz6846 But I paid nothing..!
I see this isn't your first episode, my friend
0:06 My house's quite comfortable; it has a nice view, friendly neighbours, free pizza (that's always great), and the best part is, IT'S SUPER DANGEROUS!!! :D
Another interesting video. Thanks!
great content. thanks Isaac
One of the reasons I love this channel: "...transporting the black hole would be no problem...." *shows ship casually transporting black hole* :) No where else do you hear that.
yeah, another quote iconic of this channel
I smiled with inner warmth as I saw the title of the new episode!
Now I'm going to...watch it!
4:50 "dumping radioactive material in the sun': one bad reason is, that we signal our existenze to 'the universe'. Let s see if I'm wrong. Now, I continue...
Watched it.
Once again a vision of a could be future, a will to live.
Thank you so much!
I am very interested in your videos. In them you are quite detailed and comprehensively consider specific issues and their aspects. And I want to share the most interesting, in my opinion, works of science fiction writers: Accelerando (Charles Stross) and Looking forward (Jacque Fresco).
If you read these works, it is interesting to know what you think about the representation of the estimated future in them.
Successes in your interests.
Isaac! I'm all caught up. Keep the videos coming! :-)
cool
This is now my headcannon about how the Kerbol system works.
Isaac Arthur: Let's colonize the sun.
Also Isaac Arthur: Let's colonize a black hole.
Literally no one:
Isaac Arthur: let's go live on a black hole
Me: 😂😂😂😂😂
This should be good
Cool cool cool, I love all of these videos.
Wow. One of the greatest concepts I've heard of.
Wow there's a different perspective. That's ingenious.
I am continually amazed. Is nice to work the brain for a change
Unrelated to black holes, but I love the graphics in this video, especially the vfx on the black holes and stars. It's inspiring the graphics programmer in me to whip up some shaders.
Checks email to see If I missed the Nebula invitation. Nope.
MEh. I wouldn't want to be included in anything founded by Kurzgesagt anyway.
Why doesnt cody like kurzgesagt? I got a pretty legit vibe from them.
Great video!
Everyone:black holes are chaotic mysterious objects don’t go near them
Authur:it’s free real estate
And i thought colonizing stars was silly.
Community: Arthur’s Video on Colonizing the Sun was the most ridiculous by far

That opening line is one of the most human statements I've ever heard.
Who else clicks the notification for these videos and immediately clicks like before even watching lol. It's a no-brainer
@Roger Dottin lol
Actually I've been watching his videos for 2 years now I just never comment
I don't. I usually forget the ratings buttons even exist.
I definitely do!
On the small scale side of type 2 civilizations, you should do an episode on corporations in a type 2 civilization
4:37 Ok, Issac. You've got me intrigued and left me on a cliffhanger! Why the heck wouldn't we want to dispose of radioactive waste in the sun??? Is there a balance we don't want to disturb or something (since a misbehaving sun is very bad for earth)?
Some one should look at the cool worlds black hole highways. You shoot a laser round the black hole and then catch it. Getting extra energy from the speed it picked up. You can also get a push from it, so you don't need to build a Giant Laser.
Thanks for all the videos - keep it up!
I could imagine some future civilization using one of these black-hole eaga-Earths as a galactic prison, like Australia was a few hundred years ago. Just dump 'em there and forget about em, cause you know they won't be able to escape.
I work shifts. This is how I knew it's Thursday :)
Thank you for another amazing video!!!
Just pushing that envelope Isaac. I love it
Just want to say that the first ten seconds of this are the most human thing I've ever seen/heard. That quote has been ringing around in my head since I first heard it.
I hope we make it to an economy that is renewable energy so we don't get filtered out of the universe.
Gonna be a close call at best
Extreme colonization.
I have to wonder if Soundgarden would have gone there. Maybe Chris is there now.
I thought you would discuss building a mirror surround the ergosphere and then sending an electromagnetic wave into it to start superradiant scattering which could be used to extract energy or if you didn't extract it, use it as a massive bomb. In any case, nice video.
I would like to see a video, or series of videos, on world-ships (not planets made into ships, but very large ships that carry an entire biome like the Voth ship)
