you know i find it extremely funny how all of the scietific community is willing to put a cap on size in relation to objects including black holes. the idea of an object that is a voied swallowing other mass should tell you that it is not subject to the precieved limits placed on it by man. you know they used to teach that . now the scietific community is nothing but closed minds and no imagination it is no shock they have not advanced humanity in decades as a whole. where once stood a collection of minds that created countless things now sits a room of people simply hording information and passing opinion as rules.
It still blows my mind how accurately Einstein predicted the nature of the universe and reality using maths nearly a century before tech was able to confirm any of it.
Well, it does make sense when you think about it. Einstein was quite literally made from parts of the universe itself. I mean, sure, so is literally everyone and everything, but I'm trying to be profound here.
@@Crazdor lmao what... i mean yeah, but being made up by the universe doesnt explain how Einstein knew all these theories a hundred years in advance. Its the fact that by simple logical approach and mathematics he simply figured out how things have to be if other things are true.
@paulgarcher Einstein fields equations are a headache, it includes dividing same fields equation to 10 different equations with different component and then calculate curvature and null geodesics there is no gravity in relativity, i doubt you have done it..
“Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.” - Douglas Adams
You shouldn't be smaller then the planck length you shouldn't go faster then light you shouldn't try and live off earth, the universe is awesome science is cruel.
This is highly underrated channel. The explanation is eloquent while being sufficiently detailed. Helps people like me who are in for curiosity and interest and lagi proper education to understand minute details.
@@MediHusky it isnt. they just converted the image to sound and stated that this is not what it actually sound like, its just another perspective. but, people likes to hear/read what the want...
4:08 "Here's the gravitational waves played at their natural pitch." *Ad with Scottish bagpipes music blaring plays a second later before the recording* Thanks youtube, i really needed this right now 😒
Looks like popular mechanics was trying to beat you to breaking this story. Their article came out literally in the same 10 mins as your video. I prefer yours, more entertaining, educational, and peaceful. Thanks Christian! Cheers
The event was described in 2 papers published on the 2nd of September by R. Abbott et al. In other words, the people who 'break' stories like this are the scientists themselves. Everyone else is simply reporting what the scientists publish.
Carl Sagan had a bit where he went “wooooooop gaahhhh”, he was mimicking a whale song, little did he know he was actually perfectly sounding a black hole merger.
14:19 but when you repeat several measurements, 1% becomes high, because you expect eventually you should see such a merger. It would be unlikely after enough time that we don't see something which by itself is unlikely
You are as of now the most pleasent newscaster I have heard, you don't talk a mile a minute, don't jump around like a cangaroo. If this is the same for the other videos you have made, you have a new subscriber. Oh and the subject in it self also was interesting, and yet posed more questions than answers for me. Keep up the good work
That's some mind bending fascinating stuff haha I love it. It's always down the rabbit hole in your videos and I come out realizing how much is going on out there that I have no idea about.
"Most massive black hole merger EVER detected" is the same as "Most massive black hole merger detected in the PAST FIVE YEARS" They found one as soon as they turned the damn thing on. This stuff happens literally ALL THE TIME.
My favorite space channel. You explain things so clearly and keep things interesting and detailed with all extra research you put in compared to other channels.
I saw this announcement over the weekend, was planning to do some research myself, and so was pleasantly surprised to see your video pop up in my feed this morning. Thanks for putting this together so quickly, and for your thorough, cogent explanation of the data / phenomenon they appear to describe. Really enjoyed this.
You really enlighten us with the most complex terms and information with a very simple manner!! It becomes easy to understand! Thanks for making such quality content!
Hands down one of the best channels on the subject of astrophysics. You explain how things work in details for the everyone to understand. Very direct, no assuming, and admitting that things can go one way or another. We at an age where the world's science departments are creating ground breaking machinery. I for one am excited to hear this, the possibilities are in fact endless. Amazing channel, thanks for your hard work!
Great video, thanks. I am in Italy and I have heard of Virgo decades ago, when I was a kid. Glad to know that finally it’s been put to work and it’s earning its keep. 😁😂
@@LaunchPadAstronomy Oh yeah sure I'm all for that, but willful ignorance is just that. Willful ignorance. And not calling that out is reprehensible. That being said, putting the ball back into your court, how is it kind to keep your audience in the dark about the science facts vs science theory, when it comes to black holes and the demonstrable flaws in the theory. Pun fully intended.
@@ResurrectingJiriki I mean, if you wanna overturn one of the most well supported theories in physics, go ahead. I would love to read the paper that disproves the theory of relativity, special or general. But proclaiming that black holes and curved space-time don't exist is rather presumptuous to say the least if your are not to put forth a better explanation of the observed phenomena.
The sound is like a condenser microphone used as a room microphone. The production value is so high but the sound is like that. I would suggest a small dynamic mic which you can attach to your shirt.
I always thought that the expansion of the universe is a reaction to more and more matter coming together to form larger black holes. The black holes push down and stretch space time and Without spacetime being able to bend further that stress ripples out causing space to expand. Like the harder you push on a ballon the more the air inside the ballon gets moved and causes stretching along the edges in response to pressure. I also thought it explains why galaxies don't come apart and dark matter.
I don't think so. Just look at how much we humans have progressed in last 100 years is more than enough of a proof that Humans can achieve anything that seems impossible. next 1000 years we might even leave our solar system and have a 3rd base of human civilisation say to trapist1 sys or alpha century sys
@@datdudeinred i did not say our ability to understand it. i said OUR as in me and you. maybe our kids might be closer. but something like that will always be lost in translation. because we can't even communicate efficiently yet.
@@datdudeinred also i was making fun of the video's title. you can always point out a idiot when they say a real recorded event was impossible. usually the recorded event is a disaster and the person saying its impossible was the person who could have prevented it.
I am avid reader every day and will never be able to read the number on my list, especially in my fields of work. I was intrigued to review Blinkist, a site which you brought to my attention last week, and can say that I am now a yearly paid subscriber through the embedded link here. Additionally I have passed on a recommendation this weekend to two friends based on their interests. Thank you again for the brilliantly detailed and engaging videos you produce and I look forward to all forthcoming productions!! With my best regards, Andrew Waldie.
The natural pitch of these mergers sounds like a bubble popping, which is both mystifying and terrifying that such masses can merge so quickly and carelessly. I never heard of an "ERG" unit, which makes it a little hard to understand just how much energy is being released during a merger, but if it has more energy than a quasar I know it's a MASSIVE amount of energy!
This pair-instability supernova is downright batshit crazy. 50 Mt Tsar bomba was equivalent of roughly 1kg of antimatter. He we're talking about literally star's worth of mass anihillating.
another great upload. Not only friendly< interesting and informative too with an infectious enthusiasm and a simplified way of explaining for us less informed!!
A great video Christian thank you for the great video and explanations. The universe is full of surprises that don't conform to our thinking or theories. I find Black Holes and their related subjects incredibly fascinating. Thanks again for the informative video.
Thanks for another brilliant video Christian. Your explanations and presentation are top knotch,helping mere mortals to get their heads around just how fast our knowledge of the seemingly expanding Universe is itself expanding. Perhaps the Universe needs to expand thusly in order to accommodate our rapidly expanding consciousness and all those extra data storage servers we'll need :-)
Your voice is calming, kinda like the channel 'SEA' he also does space related stuff like this and is also really calming though he has a more storey style than just information. Not boring clam, but more like will calm me down if i feel like doing something really dumb or potentially harmful to myself.
@@LaunchPadAstronomy I know, I tend to calm down before anything happens but some I don't but i haven't in almost a month or so thanks to my therapist.
As we build up more data I think we'll start to get a handle on many of these puzzlers. It seems to me that right now we just don't have a great sense for how common many of these events are. With more detectors coming online and upgrades to existing systems allow us to explore a larger volume of space, we'll build up better statistics on these events. I'm very much looking forward to that happening.
"When you do not have time to read an entire book, you can listen to all its highlights in just 15 minutes" I laughed. I know you are reading a paid for script but damn...
Yeah, it's either the result of a previous merger, the result of the black hole feeding on some 50 M star or something similar, or a much bigger direct collapse black hole that radiated away half of its mass
Christian Ready said that when black holes merge they “ring like a bell” at the end of the merge/orbiting process. Wouldn’t the gravitational waves from that”ringing” tell us something about the structure and density of the stuff making up the black hole?
I might be late to the party but didn't people realize they could use millisecond pulsars as super stellar LISA array. I'm thinking it would be hard to get super exact measurements of micro fluctuations considering the distances involved, but then I'm not the experts.
@@LaunchPadAstronomy thank you! Now the task of getting that out of my head. 😵 After I crank up the song half a dozen times and make sure it's cemented in my brain. And I still haven't watched the new video on black holes I just saw posted. Ugh! Whooop...
Hence proved these black holes actually work similar to the formation of planets or just the opposite where smaller blackholes merge with a bigger one while the smaller one gets caught up in the gravitational pull of the bigger black hole and it causes them to rotate just like satellites
Yes they do orbit each other for a while. A very long time! But eventually, it may take a billion years, but eventually they will radiate energy through gravitational waves and most likely merge with each other. But it can take a very very very long time!

GREAT! Now my dogs are into gravitational waves too.
