from inspiring supernovas to the tiny
dwarf planets sorry Pluto the universe
is full of natural wonders physicists
have been struggling for 40 years to try
to try to deal with this conundrum
welcome to watchmojo.com it we’re going
to delve deep into the unknown and count
down the five most astonishing things
you probably didn’t know about black
holes well I don’t know what a black
hole is a black hole is the collapse
dance started as so much gravity it acts
like a huge vacuum cleaner sucking
everything into it a light interstellar
dust time number 5 black holes can be
incredibly bright millions of stars and
on the horizon a strange dark sphere
rising though black holes have a
gravitational force so strong that light
can’t escape them black holes burn
astoundingly bright in fact astronomers
believe that quasars the brightest
objects in the universe may actually be
the result of supermassive black holes
I’m gonna take it’s just inside the
critical all right but about the time
slippage neither one of us have time to
worry about relativity right
man this is due to something called an
accretion disk which is the accumulation
of all the hot gas and dust that swirls
around two black holes that swallow
stars when matter falls into a black
hole it travels faster and faster which
releases energy in the form of intense
heat and light as it collides with other
matter
flashes plus of lightness black mention
in 2015 astronomers identified a new
black hole which shines 429 trillion
times brighter than our own Sun number
four Stephen Hawking bets on black holes
and losses and what can be more special
and that there is no boundaries Stephen
Hawking may be one of the most highly
regarded thinkers of our time
but don’t take him to Vegas his string
of Gamble’s began in 1975 when he bet
fellow astronomer Kip Thorne that a
celestial body known as Cygnus 1 wasn’t
a black hole after many years of
theoretical work on black holes Hawking
realized that it would all be for naught
if it turned out that didn’t exist
so he says he made his bet with Thorne
as an insurance policy if he was wrong
at least he’d have a one-year
subscription to Penthouse magazine
Penthouse magazine yeah he lost that bet
he has since lost other bets that only
those within the theoretical physics
community would ever think to make
including the bet against the existence
of the Higgs boson or god particle whose
existence was proven in 2013 however bad
life may seem there is always something
you can do and succeed at number three
scientists recently discovered a
monstrous puzzling black hole we exit
into another time or place
perhaps another universe in February
2015
scientists published their findings
about J zero one zero zero plus two
eight zero to a black hole measured to
be 12 billion times more massive than
our own Sun and you thought your student
debt was big this monster black hole
sits just a hop and a skip away twelve
point eight billion light years in the
Pisces constellation but it’s too far
mm-hmm not only is it large and old but
it’s one of the brightest things in the
universe it shines 40 thousand times
brighter than our entire galaxy black
famous for hiding in the dark have a
history of outbursts that have reached
across the cosmos though not technically
the most massive black hole known its
relative age presents an interesting
puzzle to cosmologists but this was a
thing that had been traveling to us for
7.5 billion years
arrived here in for 30 seconds it was
astonishingly bright the data tells that
the black hole was formed nearly 13
billion years ago but according to what
scientists currently know about the
universe there’s no way it should be as
large as it is given its age you said
science is about meeting what we don’t
know did you capture their number to a
person falling into a black hole would
be spaghettified
there are black holes located within our
own galaxy and with breakthroughs in
space travel maybe falling into a black
hole isn’t so far-fetched progeny
generation okay it still is but new
research says that if you survive the
passage and you wouldn’t you get
stretched a little thin the average
black hole is 20 times more massive than
our own Sun and 333 thousand times
heavier than the earth shut up about the
Sun shut up about the Sun the more mass
the stronger its gravitational pull so
the closer you are to a massive object
like a star or black hole the stronger
you feel their gravity with the mass of
a star squashed down to a point a black
hole is a deep puncture in space-time if
you were pulled feet first into a black
hole
to pull on your space boots we’d be
harder than the pull on your space
helmet look at me I’m shaking in my
little space boots the result would be a
hilarious spaghetti-like stretching that
would rip your body apart don’t cry
bender nobody really knows what happens
in a black hole it’s possible she’s
still alive in another dimension
somewhere right professor oh yes
absolutely not a chance
number one the closest black hole is
thousands of light-years away with all
this talk about black holes sucking in
the stars and galaxies around them it’s
natural to ask if earth could get
spaghettified
well we can definitely chill though
there are black holes within our galaxy
the nearest suspected black hole v6 one
six Mon is 2,800 light-years away
light-years by the way are actually a
measure of distance not time one light
year is equivalent to roughly nine point
five trillion miles the distance light
travels in one earth year it really puts
things in perspective I mean from up
here an entire world can seem utterly
insignificant the spacecraft New
Horizons which made headlines in 2015
with stunning new photos of Pluto took 9
years to get there traveling almost
40,000 miles per hour at that speed it
would take almost 47 million years to
get to v6 1/6 Mon if you’re taking that
trip you might want to bring a book I
can’t without weeks ago forbidded light
reading
this is light so what do you think
nobody knows what you’re talking about
ass well mankind ever figure out how to
use black holes for time travel and
teleportation that doesn’t sound too
hard and is anybody else suddenly hungry
for spaghetti I’m not even taking it
seriously
for more blindingly luminous toptenz and
way too far out there top fives be sure
