This video is about how efficient various reactions are at converting mass to energy (as we know from the Einstein mass-energy equivalence of E=mc^2). Antimatter is very efficient but it is not naturally-occurring. Chemical reactions like fire or explosions are very inefficient. Nuclear fission and nuclear fusion are better, but not amazing on an absolute scale. Non-rotating black holes (Schwarzschild) and rotating (Kerr) are by far the most efficient, due to their accretion disks and very small radius of their innermost stable circular orbits.

Mistake in your calculations. Cats have 9 lives. So, you only need 1/9 of a cat to power Norway for a year.

Okay, got the black hole, but I’m having troubles finding a cat
With a small enough black hole, you can convert 100% of the infalling mass to energy. Small ones are "hot" and have significant Hawking radiation. So you get one that's the right size to produce the power you want and then throw in mass periodically to keep it from getting smaller. If you stop feeding it, it shrinks, gets hotter and radiates faster and eventually blows up. But keeping it in balance is pretty easy if you are talking power needs along the lines of Norway or the world. Trickier if you want really gigantic power production from a smaller black hole.
That’s actually really smart.
I like it how cats are the basic units for calculating stuff over internet.

But Egyptians didn't even know Norwegians existed.
Shh... Don't ruin my moment.
Humans could produce lots more energy... heyhehejehehehehe
I had no idea the event horizon would be further in in the spinning black hole. I thought the size depended on mass only and had wondered if it possibly was because space couldn't hold more information in that volume.
There's an even better solution to this with rotating black holes. You can directly harvest the rotational energy of the black hole through superradiance of lasers. Surround it in a reflective surface - or more likely arrange wave guides in specific patterns, and superradiant scattering will dump huge amounts of energy into the laser drawn from the rotational energy of the black hole
Indeed, but cat is much funnier than lambda
I think it’s called a Penrose Sphere, for anyone wondering - Kurzgesagt did a video on it also about the biggest bomb in the universe
My ancestors have been mining cats since the Industrial Revolution. It's a reliable source of energy and honest labor.

No cats were harmed. Just killed.
i like the random notes in the background, adds alot of character to the video
I really think that there was a typo in the Chemical Reaction's section:
I.e., [5e-10 (Released Energy in Grams) / 5e+3 (Cat’s Weight in Grams)] × 100 = 1e-11% (not 1e-9%); and it’d take (after removing the percentage) 1e13 (ten trillion, not ten billion) cats to power Norway with chemical reactions for a year.
P.S. If one is to use the percentage’s perspective (i.e., in the Nuclear Reaction’s section, 150 cats were supposedly needed (which is 100/0.7 = 142.9 cats)), the Chemical Reaction’s section shall then be needing a hundred billion, also not ten billion, cats.

Depends, are you burning them, splitting/fusing them, or dropping them into black holes?
No cats were harmed in the making of this film.
Or they did after loosing 42% of their mass, but we will never know.
Vincent Cantin Sounds like a great diet
All information was lost after throwing the cats into the black hole, so you can't tell if any were harmed.
Mpd but they were by calculating this
Now you just have figure out how to capture a rotating black hole and how to fully collect the energy from the cats you throw in.
Thanks for the tutorial, in gonna make it now.
I love the units used
So now we can justify the statements :" CURIOSITY IS GOOD, BUT IT COULD KILL THE CAT"
Norwegian minister of energy sees his video:
"That's it guys, divert all of our funds into researching svarte hul & katter."
Energy crisis solved.
The object I threw into the black hole is crashing into stuff as it orbits / spirals in... but the stuff around the black hole is also necessarily orbiting / spiraling in, too. So the crashing doesn't have as much oomph. It's not like my object is crashing into stationary stuff. I could throw it against the tide of the accretion disk-then there'd be more violent crashing-but that goes against the thing he was saying about rotating black holes.
I'm guessing that the chemical energy released in reactions was itself stored as the mass of chemical bonds themselves, which when broken are converted into energy.
Endothermic reactions presumably result in more mass stored in the reactants, that mass coming from the ambient heat of the room
The idea that you'd cut a cat in half to get the right amount of energy.. I can't stop laughing

Questn, actually, as a macroscopic object, we are 99% energy and 1% matter. The protons and neutrons in our atoms weigh more than the sum of their parts (being the quarks inside them). The quarks alone account for 1% of the mass of the hadron and the rest is energy coming from the kinetic energy of the quarks and the strong force interactions binding them together.

is the loss of mass from the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen an actual quantity that was measured or a result of using E=mc^2 to backwards compute the mass from the change in enthalpy?
from my understanding, no mass is lost in a chemical reaction but rather chemical energy in the form of energy levels of electrons and chemical bonds is being converted to heat energy and vice versa
Time to update this great presentation: In Sept, 2020 LIGO reported a merger of two BHs of 85 and 66 solar masses to form a BH of 142 solar masses, radiating 9 solar masses! of gravitational wave energy, so the total BH mass was dramatically reduced (and not by Hawking radiation). What is the mechanism? Where was this mass/energy relative to the EH before merger? I can't find discussions of this anywhere, not in scientific papers, internet presentations or TH-cam. Thanks.

Assuming that we some day create a processes that can capture energy from matter, anti-matter annihilation and turn it into anti-matter con be done at more than 50% efficiency so long as we keep feeding in matter we sustain this cycle and use the energy not used to create more antimatter as profit to power things or create even more anti-matter. So long as this process is scalable you could in theory start from a single anti-quark (bit small, anti-hydrogen would be better) and keep feeding in mass and scaling your anti-matter production until you are producing sufficient power. This will obviously take a huge amount of mass, just a fun thought though.

Basically, you'd have to throw a cat into the region called ergosphere (which is the region where things cannot stay stationary anymore) with the right amount of speed and in certain direction. End product is the cat (unfortunately to be more precise, a part of the cat) emerging out with more kinetic energy than she initially had.

He's so evil, that he throws *3* 1/2 cats into the black hole, even though he only needed to throw in 2 1/2.
He threw in kittens instead of cats because he is soooooo evil.
As a result he needed more what made him even more evil.
I was gonna say that I feel bad for the cat that has to be chopped in half for this to work, but honestly, getting chopped in half is a much less painful way to die than being spaghettified in a black hole.
Do black holes have a charge or a magnetic field? So that you could encapsulate a black hole in a safe enclosure to constantly feed it and extract the heat energy to power stuff like steam turbines?
The math is way off in this video. Everybody knows that cats have 9 lives, so each cat can convert 9 times and thus all these numbers should be divided or multiplied by 9 depending upon which direction we're doing the conversions. Remember folks: reduce cat overpopulation, reuse cats up to 9 times and recycle their litter too (it smells bad, might as well burn it away at the same time).
yes it is
Why burn the litter if you could just throw it into the black hole? It's more efficient and doesn't smell as bad.
Besides cats can't have 9 lives because it would mean there's like 378% efficiency in their case, which obviously violates the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
Because of that, Cats can generate more energy than an Gamma-Ray-Burst, and would thereby make almost the entire Universe collapse. That is why alien live has ceased to exist. Once they found cats, they didn't know about their 9 lives, and threw a cat into a black hole to power their colony. After that, they were completely wiped out, but the solar-system was in the safe zone. You should thank cats for sparing such mere un-cute humans
I use a cat with buttered toast strapped to its back to levitate my flying car.
How many lives do politicians have? They seem to be rather weighty, so there's an energysource just waiting for us . . .
Today: "Don't play with fire!"
Later today: "Don't Play with nuclear fission!"
Tomorrow: "Don't play with cold fusion!"
1 week from now: "Don't play with black holes!"
1 month later: "Don't play with antimatter!"
Yesterday: "Don't play with anaerobic cellular respiration?"
1 year later: Do not play with cats!
Or how about, “Don’t play with yourself!”
What do you mean by not playing with one's self? ;-)
4:38 Wasn't the event horizon of a rotating black hole squished at the poles, making it larger?
You should do a video on the Penrose process :D I thought that was where you were going
And it was this day on the eve of 2018 that the great cat genocide began to take full swing.
Best comment.
Scott Klimek there is no genocide, illuminate will be there shortly to ensure you understand
*looks at my cat*
Me:"well Lucy, i need energy, and its time for you to help with the bills"
Lucy: *meows in dispair*
Just dump your trash can into the black hole
3:14 Please correct me if im wrong, but a kinetic energy of 50%mc2, would mean that the object would need to have a velocity equal to the speed of light (KE=1/2mv2) which is impossible.
Object near the event horizon will have speed close to the speed of light, theoretically breaking it right on the event horizon. But the whole video seems oversimplistic and decieving to me. For example product of chemical reaction will have the same mass, just converted from binding energy to heat. Objects falling into black hole don't fall faster because they have more space but because black hole is infinitely denser then Earth.
@@iondustt The object falling would behave the exact same regardless of earth or earth mass black hole, right up until it hit the ground of the earth (ignoring air resistance), but it would keep accelerating with the earth mass black hole because it's so much smaller.
Wait why do chemical reactions lose a little bit of mass? Is it because the breaking of bonds? I seem to remember something about bonds being "made" of photons or some other such particle...
