Hi Julian, loved the video but I wanted to clarify that the Schwarzschild radius is only the radius to the event horizon of a non-rotating uncharged black hole (Schwarzschild-type) - in fact a rotating uncharged black hole (Kerr-type) has two event horizons (outer event horizon, and Cauchy horizon) and neither of these are perfect spheres - so do not have uniform radii (rotation is weird).
For me, I enjoy these a lot. I'm fascinated by astronomy but never studied it on my own. These refreshers help me lock the concepts down a lot better. Please keep doing what you do!
You did a wonderful job covering one of my greatest (and most fascinating) obsessions. Thank you!
I liked your simplification of Hawking radiation. I've heard the term before but never had the concept itself dumbed down enough for me to quite get it until now 😅
A most excellent explanation of black holes. The best I've seen giving simple to understand description on this subject without the unnecessary bending of the mind. Well done Seeker.
Gravity Sucks, but, Black Holes Swollow! This should be a new T-Shirt from Sci-Show Space!
It's always kinda eerie to me... It seems like every edutainment channel I follow on Youtube seems to know exactly what I am studying in class when I am studying it in class, and drops content like this literally 2 days after I wrap up the chapter on Black Holes in Astronomy... I know it's probably a mental bias, since I just studied it and it's fresh in my mind... but still
Super interesting. Thanks guys! Small correction though regarding the pronunciation. It’s not Schwarz”child” but rather Schwarz”shilled” (say it as if you would combine shoe and chilled). Name comes from the German language and directly translated would mean black-shield.
i found your description of blackholes great!
I’m a black hole fanatic so I’m up to speed on them and I have a favorite black hole. Ton-618 is my favorite one!!!
Thanks for making me understand Hawkings Radiation in a couple sentences.
thanks for teaching me about the Schwarzchild radius, and the reference to Sauron's Eye was prodigious. you sir are a gentleman of great wit and sagacity! 😎
If space expands at an ever increasing rate, wont there be a point where virtual particles will be seperated faster than they can destroy each other?
Amazing stuff as per usual 👏🏽 👌🏽
A Schwarzchild singularity is a fictional thing, Einstein repeatedly spoke about this, he wrote about it in the 1939 journal "Annals of Mathematics". Wherever you have an astronomical quantity of mass "dilation" (sometimes called gamma or y) will occur. General relativity does not predict singularities when you factor in dilation. Mass that is dilated is smeared through spacetime relative to an outside observer. There is no place in the universe where mass is more concentrated than at the center of a galaxy. The mass at the center of our own galaxy is dilated, in some sublime way that mass is all around us.
I would like a more in-depth PBS Spacetime-esque video.
His proclivity to explore is that of an ancient explorer from a principality. circa bce. Yet his tendency of benevolence is that of an ancient explorer from a municipality, circa ad. Nonetheless, shall your creative prowess prosper and the tides of history always in your favour.
the fact that we have not been sucked into a black hole yet blows my mind
Maybe the reason the speed of light is the speed it is is because of at least 2opposing force's pulling on space time and the speed light is is how they balance out
