Even though this is from the mid 90s, this is one of the best, most well-done, dramatic and informative of these black hole documentaries. The musical score is great too.
Anything that actually encounters the black hole would be consumed by it. But you'd actually have to get pretty close. Most stuff would just go into orbit or get ejected out of its way through gravitational interactions.
This is amazing, but what's sad is that the highest rated comments have NOTHING to do with the video! Come on people, if your going to take the time to comment, at least comment something relative...
I love the universe because it is so unknown...the idea of something being unknown is beautiful in a way, because it makes room for imagination and theories. Ambiguity is a great thing for such huge concepts like the universe.
It's a sad irony, I got into computer technology because I wanted to help promote space exploration .... yet now I know so little about astronomy I miss it.
@ItalKid28 I'm young aswell, I'm only 17, but I've always been interested in space, and have been increasingly interested in Physics and Cosmology. :) Keep on chasing your own dreams and you'll be an astronomer I'm sure!
I got to use a high powered telescope at my university for an astronomy class and it was pretty awesome to see a binary star system and the different colours the stars were. It would be cool to use the ones they show here though above the clouds on a clear night.
For anyone wanting to know how small a radius (R) any mass (M) needs to be compressed into, to become a Black Hole, then use this formula, R = 2GM/c² Where G is the gravitational constant and c is the speed of light. Now have fun trying that out for random masses. :P
@immortalvegitto999 okay so here is how it works. A super massive start called " A super massive red giant" Becomes so dense due to its own nuclear reactions, that it becomes super massive, having the matter on it surface (usually iron or some other heavy metal) collapse in on itself and stick closer together due to the overwhelming force of gravity. has nothing to do with galaxies, but can potentially create and destroy them.
Well he might have a point. The point where tidal forces rip you apart in a Supermassive black hole is situated inside the event-horizon which means you can safely orbit within the ergosphere (the region around a black hole where the spin of said black hole tugs the surrounding space) of the black hole (unlike stellar mass black holes which would rip you apart before you could reach that point) and thereby use it to accelerate to beyond relativistic speeds (to an outside observer).
I'm getting the feeling that this is not the most update material here. Where all this information changes so quickly there does not seem to be much point in watching documentaries that are 10, 15 or 20 odd, years old. I'll watch it anyway, but I wish it were more current. My Best. Out.
Black Holes + creepy music = even cooler experience! :D they devour everything including light.. & probably swirling darkness around them.. even eachother, damn that's incredible!
Question for someone here: Could we in theory while sitting behind a telescope watch the star explosions that created us or the Earth for that matter billions of years ago? If so, isn't that kind weird? thanks
i have a question. What do you call the space or area or ???? that lies beyond or further away then any electro-magnetic waves have traveled since the big bang.
@0darkG yes, in space does positive and negative neutrons continuously appear and disappear out of nothing, but if they appear near a black hole will the negative neutron get sucked inside the black hole and the positive neutron will be sucked towards the black hole without entering, when this happens a lot of times will the black hole get smaller and smaller (because of the negative N) and hotter and hotter (because of the positive N) and explode or implode depending on the size.
It is not possible to model a Black Hole. We should call the star eaters Super Massive Objects. As gravity approaches a singularity, time dilation restricts acceleration and prevents further development.
@pogpog28 Wait, which planets have been reported to have life on them? I think you are mistaken but it would be awesome if we actually found another planet with life on it.
Random Question. . . . If the universe is 14 billion years old, how is it 93 billion light years wide?? Wouldn't light take 93 billion years to travel this distance... Please explain
A pulsar is a neutron star with a blackhole inside feeding on it. The radio waves are the radiation jets of the blackhole.The jets should rotate opposite the blackhole, Universal reversibility.The singularity of the blackhole is a condensate.
@longhaurules the inside of black holes aren't black. actually its the oppsite, the light that is captured by black holes doesnt just disappear, the energy stays in the black hole, so basically it would be very, VERY bright...enough to vaporize matter instantly. ...they only look black from outside observers
Without them Google wouldn't be able to pay for hundreds (or maybe thousands) of servers dedicated to TH-cam and we wouldn't be watching such an exciting and eye-opening video.
IIRC there's no unanymous consensus upon the mass required to build a black hole. Some say 30 solar masses, some say 40, this guy said THREE. If it's true, then we're totally surrounded by billions of black holes. Another thing I don't understand is the mass of the BH itself. The BH originating from Arcturus will be as massive as the one built by VY Canis Majoris? What does "size" mean in this case, a larger event horizon?!
@Esperu2008 IT's called physics. And I think that there is a huge misunderstanding when talking about black holes. Why would a BH dramatically influence the earth? Why a black hole and not the bulge of our galaxy which, btw, is much more massive? And, BTW, I never said I am SO sure. But anyway a million years is quite a short time, in astrophysical terms
@megamuffin1517 neutron stars are not " just neutrons". the atoms are squashed down so the empty space between the electrons and nuclei is nearly gone. it says this in the video.
It amazes me how we have completely transitioned the topic from "Mysterious Black Holes" to assaulting people who have less than mediocre grammar skills.
Ok so the universe was created when everything was compressed to an impossibly small density and it then exploded which is known as the big bang right? Isn't there a chance that it was at that density because it was the singularity of a black hole? Meaning there are many different universes existing with each other?
nothing can escape from black holes, except space, or, somebody please explain to me if space is moving with us, or we are moving through space, if so, then what happens on a black hole's path. what's left behind?
There are black holes but aren't white holes predicted too? Where are they or is it that worm holes from a black hole are going to go through a quick collapse? that's what it was saying in cold sparks and black holes right?
@MrMaximusi ever heard of string therory? thats actually when a black hole tears a person into string and sucks em in, if you went through YOUD be the half.
@Greatdivinity you're wrong. the theory of relativity is exactly what would allow an advanced civilization to travel massive distances really quickly. i'm talking about millions of light years in a very very short amount of time.
Rather than exiting the known universe perhaps as the star collapses at some point, no matter how minuscule, the gravitational attraction of the mass of the event horizon exceeds that of the remaining mass of the interior. The result being a vacuum of perfect zero of which nothing can enter or pass through and anything colliding with it would be instantly destroyed.
I just can't understand at 8:30. If the gravity of the black hole is so powerful that even light can't escape and IF light is the fastest speed we can have in the universe, how can the black hole shoot radiation? If so, this radiation could beat its gravity... can anyone explain? 1) Is the lightspeed the maximum possible speed achievable? 2) How do these radiations, gases and mass be "shot" out of the black hole? Thanks :)
yes when my moms dad died she said he came to her...before he did she told him if heaven is real to come to her when he dies and she said he did because she saw a white bright light with his silhouette...yes i do believ but when i think abotu it it seems kind of impossible and sometimes i think it sarted by a couple of ppl with a book saying that there are gods...but i also think that nobody would just do that so yes i believe but i just have my questions thanks for the advice it helped
@ShaliniJonathan You are right.And I think the reason why stars go supernova is because of Newtons laws of thermodynamics.I'll tell you,if evolution is true,how did the supposed gravity (that supposedly created the earth) come to be?
@Zurround100 so if ur close to the blk hole, you will see everything movin at normal speed, but someone lookin at you from out there will see you movin in slow motion, and if you look at them from the black hole, you will see them movin very fast, but they will feel and see things in normal speed, so thts why as you fall into the black hole, u start gettin slower, but u dont notice, u see everything in normal speed.
We can't just send polution somewhere, even if we could, it would take billions of years to actually reach our closest black hole. And noone knows where they lead to.
@SexyArcanine666 the earth is considered an "essentially closed system" (real sientific term) this means ALMOST no matter enters or leaves. Also, the earth doesn't need to be a closed system for this to work. It needs to be a closed system in which no energy leaves or enters. Energy is not included in the definition of closed sytstems
actually you dont...gravity is formed by both mass and energy. this is what e=mc2 means. einsteins general theory of relativity says that a very dense amount of vast energy (or mass) could create a black hole.
How did anyone or anything get close enough to a black hole without getting sucked in? Plus black holes aren't visible. They do have an 'event horizon' but not even that is visible.
I love these documentaries. The narrator, score, presentation. It helps me sleep. Who makes these?
Jo makes them.. You don't know Jo?
Me
Back in the 90s, it was PBS who made these.
Even though this is from the mid 90s, this is one of the best, most well-done, dramatic and informative of these black hole documentaries. The musical score is great too.
Anything that actually encounters the black hole would be consumed by it. But you'd actually have to get pretty close. Most stuff would just go into orbit or get ejected out of its way through gravitational interactions.
I have been looking for this video, its one of my favorites!
Who else is watching this stoned?
Only you. No one else is stupid.
@TheOtherMike
Then why is it the top comment?
Mitchell 😂😂😂👍🏾
Mitchell holy crap. I thought it was only me. Not alone...
Acid!😎💪👍
One of the most informative TH-cam videos I've seen, period.
theres literaly billions of year between now and the nearest danger to our solar system
@xvdifug I installed both, but ads still appear... what exactly do i need to do to stop the annoying ads?
The voice over and soundtrack to this video are sooooo good. Kinda sounds like Unsolved Mysteries , very eerie.
Loved the dramatic background music
Thanks for these awesome videos
Thanks so much...no words to describe this video, or at least, is the humble opinion of a 75 years old woman...so grateful...
This is amazing, but what's sad is that the highest rated comments have NOTHING to do with the video!
Come on people, if your going to take the time to comment, at least comment something relative...
Nice editing dude.
yo dawg, if dat vid was from space, how'd dey get da plane bak wit da camera on it?
I know where one of the mysterious black holes is located: in my wallet.
I love the universe because it is so unknown...the idea of something being unknown is beautiful in a way, because it makes room for imagination and theories. Ambiguity is a great thing for such huge concepts like the universe.

17:07 you can actually see the earths rotation very clearly. Thats one of the most amazing things ive seen
I got to use a high powered telescope at my university for an astronomy class and it was pretty awesome to see a binary star system and the different colours the stars were. It would be cool to use the ones they show here though above the clouds on a clear night.
when was this filmed? looks like the mid-90s

Is this from a longer documentary?
What's up with an ad interupting in the middle of the video? Thanks, google.
does anyone know what is flashed on the screen at 5:04-5:05?
it's like a paragraph and it won't let me rewind it to where it's flashed.
I can't believe i watched all of this.
So amazing!
Good video!
This video was pretty, ah.. crazy, and, ah.. awesome
Well he might have a point.

14:55 What music is that? I am 100% sure that that music was used in Baldur's Gate 2 in one level. ^^
In what font are the opening subtitles?
I'm getting the feeling that this is not the most update material here. Where all this information changes so quickly there does not seem to be much point in watching documentaries that are 10, 15 or 20 odd, years old.
I'll watch it anyway, but I wish it were more current.
My Best. Out.
PS: This is some, 30 odd, years out of date, for goodness sakes. Can you imagine what's been discovered since this?! That's my point. Out.
Black Holes + creepy music = even cooler experience! :D they devour everything including light.. & probably swirling darkness around them.. even eachother, damn that's incredible!
old video its amazing to see how far we have come
At 02:04 - he had North Face vest before it was cool.
Question for someone here: Could we in theory while sitting behind a telescope watch the star explosions that created us or the Earth for that matter billions of years ago? If so, isn't that kind weird? thanks
science is soooooo much more worth learning then english and other usulas subjects thumbs up if you agree
قال تعالى : (فلا اقسمُ بالخنَّسِ * الجوار الكنَّس ) في سورة التكوير The black holes have been mentioned in Qura'an 1433 years ago
i have a question. What do you call the space or area or ???? that lies beyond or further away then any electro-magnetic waves have traveled since the big bang.
".65! Hot dog!" xD that made me laugh a bit
@0darkG yes, in space does positive and negative neutrons continuously appear and disappear out of nothing, but if they appear near a black hole will the negative neutron get sucked inside the black hole and the positive neutron will be sucked towards the black hole without entering, when this happens a lot of times will the black hole get smaller and smaller (because of the negative N) and hotter and hotter (because of the positive N) and explode or implode depending on the size.
Does anyone know the background music that plays from 3:10 - 3:45?
No, thermo dynamics makes running out of energy impossible. The net energy of the universe now is the same as it was right after the big bang
This video must be at least 15 years old. We know much more about black holes since this was made.
It is not possible to model a Black Hole. We should call the star eaters Super Massive Objects.
As gravity approaches a singularity, time dilation restricts acceleration and prevents further development.
thanx 4 not taking this wrongly
@pogpog28 Wait, which planets have been reported to have life on them? I think you are mistaken but it would be awesome if we actually found another planet with life on it.
Random Question. . . . If the universe is 14 billion years old, how is it 93 billion light years wide?? Wouldn't light take 93 billion years to travel this distance... Please explain
excellent video
Im I the only one who noticed the baby they dunked into a vat of water just to create context...lmfao
Baby's face expression is like wtf?!!
A pulsar is a neutron star with a blackhole inside feeding on it. The radio waves are the radiation jets of the blackhole.The jets should rotate opposite the blackhole, Universal reversibility.The singularity of the blackhole is a condensate.
can our sun beacom a huge dark hole or a small dark hole or A MASSIVE DARK HOLE please answer
@longhaurules the inside of black holes aren't black. actually its the oppsite, the light that is captured by black holes doesnt just disappear, the energy stays in the black hole, so basically it would be very, VERY bright...enough to vaporize matter instantly. ...they only look black from outside observers

To quote Ogre, from Revenge of the Nerds...."NEEEERDS!!!"
haha JK i luv this space stuff
@01Highflyer which lord? the invisible one in that fairy tale book?
@megamuffin1517 neutron stars are not " just neutrons". the atoms are squashed down so the empty space between the electrons and nuclei is nearly gone. it says this in the video.
It amazes me how we have completely transitioned the topic from "Mysterious Black Holes" to assaulting people who have less than mediocre grammar skills.
Many of us watch this because we're interested. Not because we want to seem smart.

how the heck did u get a video longer than 10 minuets
@ThisIsATroll - well what if its possible? didnt andromeda galaxy collided & fused with another galaxy?
0:50-1:07 what instrumental is that? i
theres a gap in video between 20:01-20:02. clip should be longer
@masedama quasar's are vertically exploding supernovas aren't they?
Good thing our atmosphere will destroy any meteoroids, comets, and black holes that enters it, because of their speed :)
So when a black whole pulls things in wouldnt it just be compressed to the surface of it? Why does it say that the stuff falls out of the universe?
What happens in a black hole, stays in a black hole
15:50. Edge of the universe? Didn't know the universe had an edge. Wonder what's on the other side of that edge.
There are black holes but aren't white holes predicted too? Where are they or is it that worm holes from a black hole are going to go through a quick collapse? that's what it was saying in cold sparks and black holes right?
Why cant they aim the hubble right at it and see whats what? Or at leasae at the star it is effecting and see?
@MrMaximusi ever heard of string therory? thats actually when a black hole tears a person into string and sucks em in, if you went through YOUD be the half.

i seen th the funniest Google ad with this video the continent soy milk commercial its hilarious haha
At 2:35 is that a borg cube coming into view in the lower left?
@BBoyMerciless
because black holes is a gravitational "hole". it spins like the earth spins around the sun..
sorry if I am wrong
I just can't understand at 8:30.
If the gravity of the black hole is so powerful that even light can't escape and IF light is the fastest speed we can have in the universe, how can the black hole shoot radiation? If so, this radiation could beat its gravity... can anyone explain?

Arrh any of you know the 0:58 to 1:07 instrumental/song, whatever its called?
i must know!
yes when my moms dad died she said he came to her...before he did she told him if heaven is real to come to her when he dies and she said he did because she saw a white bright light with his silhouette...yes i do believ but when i think abotu it it seems kind of impossible and sometimes i think it sarted by a couple of ppl with a book saying that there are gods...but i also think that nobody would just do that so yes i believe but i just have my questions thanks for the advice it helped

@ 1:39 Isn't that the music from the game Amnesia: The Dark Descent?
I look at the Universe and it's beauty and wonder make me cry. It's beyond human comprehension.
Black holes are what you get when you try to divide by 0.
@Zurround100 so if ur close to the blk hole, you will see everything movin at normal speed, but someone lookin at you from out there will see you movin in slow motion, and if you look at them from the black hole, you will see them movin very fast, but they will feel and see things in normal speed, so thts why as you fall into the black hole, u start gettin slower, but u dont notice, u see everything in normal speed.
Einstein is so clever I want to be as smart as him when I get older
We can't just send polution somewhere, even if we could, it would take billions of years to actually reach our closest black hole.
And noone knows where they lead to.
Too bad, we will never visit another galaxy..
Maybe in the far future by using wormholes
@SexyArcanine666 the earth is considered an "essentially closed system" (real sientific term) this means ALMOST no matter enters or leaves.

What show do i know this voice from. ????????? Damnit ,,. City confidental ..... Damnit
@starter656 which is why i use firefox with adblock plus. I didnt see not 1 add!
How did anyone or anything get close enough to a black hole without getting sucked in? Plus black holes aren't visible. They do have an 'event horizon' but not even that is visible.
Do DMA count ?
More recent observations of Cygnus X-1 have put the mass closer to 11x that of our sun.
