The largest things in the universe are black holes. In contrast to things like planets or stars they have no physical size limit, and can literally grow endlessly. Although in reality specific things need to happen to create different kinds of black holes, from really tiny ones to the largest single things in the universe. So how do black holes grow and how large is the largest of them all?

Called "unicorn" because we weren't detecting black holes of about 3 times the mass of the Sun and we weren't sure if it was our fault or they weren't there for some reason… Finally this one was found 😄 (Also inspired by the name of the constellation it was in, which is "unicorn" in Latin)

@@shogunsovereign It's size was estimated to be around 100 billion solarmasses back then, but so was Holmberg 15A and the black hole in IC1101. Most evidence points to all of them being around the more common 40 billion solarmasses range because of how they interact with their surroundings. Have yet to see any good evidence to actually support it's size claim after the initial paper on it. Don't know why it suddenly gained popularity and why everyone is claiming ut to be the largest black hole when TON 618 has a lot more evidence to back up it's claim for the throne.

Think of it this was: it takes light 10 billion years to travel from TON 618 to earth. Even if it were to move in our direction it would take waaay longer than that to reach us. Also, considering that the universe is expanding it probably steadily moves away from us and might not ever come into contact with our milky way. But before all of this could happen, our sun will burn out anyway.

As a scientist myself I fucking love the final mention of having to paraphrase and use certain data sets, as well as omitting others. Regardless of which academics work will have made the cut, I just know they'll all have been so pumped just to have been asked and involved. All while also linking sources and preempting anyso-calledd experts pooping some or any of whatyou'vee had to present to make an educational, fun and paletable video for the masses. I think linking and making use in posters and merch of that additional work which was perhaps initially thought to be superfluous information and research not needed for the videos final cut is such a fantastic and well thought through idea. Super efficient and the complete opposite of wasteful. Massive props for that! 😁 And speaking of preempting, just because anyone can say anything on the Internet. Should someone decide to tell me for whatever reason that I'm making my background up and would like specifics: I have a life/ biosciences background, particularly in chemistry and pharmaceutical sciences and am currently working in a clinical research and innovation setting for an organisation focused on the future and widespread implementation of digital pathology in clinical pathology pipelines worldwide

@patrickwalker6327 3 месяца назад

Here's a thought about the curious black hole size jump. That if when black holes get to a certain size they punch through another space time and eject material to a white hole. And the closer they are to another space time the more energy they lose. Let's say a lot of the black holes used to be a pretty close size but most of them ejected a bunch of their material at once because the other side of space time changed and got suddenly closer.
