What would we see if we fell into a Black Hole? 

I hope you enjoy this video! As a bonus here is a VR 360° version of the fall : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-17tEg_uTF_A.html For more details about the simulation : - The apparent shape of the disc is calculated using raytracing and general relativity (I calculate the motion of light rays from the source to the observer, and the apparent angle of this lightray in the observer's frame of reference) - The disc however is not simulated, I created a volumetric shader to replicate GRMHD simulations of Sagittarius A* (a GRMHD simulation would require very powerful computers and a lot of computing time). You can find an example of such a simulation here : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J8sLSQ54bHE.html - The colour of the disc is calculated by converting an infinite temperature blackbody spectrum to CIE XYZ and RGB colour spaces - The parameters you see at the bottom left corner of the video are calculated analytically for a Schwarzschild infalling observer - I also did simulations for a Kerr black hole to make sure the results weren't too different (for example : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sFcnfg8KU1g.html) - For Sagittarius A* we don't know exactly the value of its angular momentum yet, therefore some details about its accretion disc and the shape of its horizon might change

"Suicide by Black Hole" sounds like something depressed rich people would try in the year 10765.

There's something very haunting about passing the event horizon, knowing you'll never return, but seeing the spaceship you came from getting larger as if you were being given a second chance to reconsider.

I've seen many videos on what happens if you fall into a black hole. I was expecting yet another focus on spaghettification, but I was learning from the first minute! This is a NEW, DIFFERENT perspective from other videos. In fact, if you watch just one video on how light and time are affected by a drop into a black hole, start with this one. The visuals were fantastic and educational.

Imagine being spaghettified and ending up on someones plate, in another dimension, covered in tomato sauce.

It's all fun and games until you turn to pasta.

This just proves that being a cameraman gives you immortality

I want to thank the cameraman that went into the black hole to study this stuff. Hats off to him

It's always so fascinating learning something new about this scenario. The notion of the black hole's "surface" engulfing our view as we get closer to the event horizon is everywhere and is even what happens in Space Engine, and I appreciate very much the explanation of _why_ that model is incorrect.

Space is terrifying but at the same time just incredibly interesting

The dude who volunteered to jump into the black hole is a legend

Black holes have always fascinated me. The universe itself pushed to its limits. It shocked me when Carl Sagan suggested, in Cosmos, that based on the density of the known universe, it's quite possible we're living inside a black hole right now.

I just want to comment that I’ve shared this video multiple times, describing it as “the best explanation of what would happen if you fell into a black hole I’ve ever seen.” Absolutely tremendous work and thank you!

Imagine going into a Blackhole thinking you are about to die, then you get teleported to another world.

I'm just going to come out and say it.... This is hands-down the best video about falling into a black hole that exists on RU-vid

well, this video finally helped me understand why the event horizon on a black hole looks warped on half of the hole, I appreciate the level of detail put into this!

3:18 This has got to be the most haunting picture of space I’ve ever seen. Almost like staring into oblivion itself.

Hats off to the camera guy for this one.

“The plasma itself, which can reach several billion degrees, might also as well burn us alive.” You don’t say

This is one of the absolute best videos on black holes I've ever seen.

Hands down the best video I have seen on the subject. Extremely interesting, my deepest congratulations. Kudos for your amazing effort to be as scientifically accurate as possible and keep it simple and faschinating at the same time!

The fact that spaghettification is a scientific phrase is almost as amazing as this video

Besides the dying like spaghetti part, seems like a fun ride with a awesome view 😀

Well, this was the best video I've ever seen on "What Would Happen If you Fell into a Black Hole". And I've seen a lot.

You explain things so clearly and interestingly, great video

I like how we already discovered something we didn’t discover yet

14:03 Although your clock continues to run normally for you, once you cross the event horizon, an infinite amount of time will have passed for an outside observer. Which is the same thing as saying it would take an infinite amount of time for an outside observer to see you cross the event horizon. Even if you can "see" the residual image of the outside universe due to perceptional effects like doppler and aberration, in reality there's no "outside universe" left to go back _to_ once you cross the horizon. Which is the same as saying that the interior of the black hole _is_ your new universe, and any direction you might travel within that new universe will not get you any closer to the universe you just came from; you will _always_ be moving, spatially and temporally, toward the singularity.

This is by far the best science and space channel on yt

Fantastic video! the animations were amazing. Thank you

Just send me in a black hole with rope and a gopro hero 10, i'll be fine Edit: Imagine if I survive and forgot to press record... I'll return inside with no rope this time

"The Aberration of Light" is a killer name for a doom metal album

Loved your video. Others are throwing around with technical terms without thouroughly explaining it for us ordinary people. But here I felt like I finally understood how black holes approximately work.

3:58 because we perceive color regarding the frequency of light when looking to the plasma on the left side, you would see a diferent color (one equivalent to a lower frequency)

Dude, I gotta be honest, this is such a well done explanation that I'm actually thoroughly learning more about black holes

“Don’t let me go murph, don’t let me go!”

Wow, what an incredible, definitive video on this topic. 👏

Perfect explanation! Many details became clear for me!

There'd be a bookshelf. Very interesting stuff, and well explained. Poor astronaut meeting their likely end to spaghettification!

I think it's funny how everyone says "after the horizon, there's no turning back" true...but that's the horizon for light. With matter, the horizon of no return is much much further out

This is such a clever and creative video I absolutely love it! Keep sharing these studies this is an amazingly put together assumption of what it would be like.

Omg! This Video was so cool! I like to watch theories about the space, especially black holes. You explained it very well. Thank you. This video was very enjoyable!🤩

This makes a clear, non-dramatized explanation of this concept. This is what I think should be shown to kids these days because of how concise it is. Well done.

Black holes have and will still always continue to terrify me, as well as amaze me. Just the idea of going towards a black hole, knowing I will inevitably be ripped to shreds and turned into nothing more than super dense particles in the centre is frightening as all hell. Now combine that terror with knowing you can never go back once you get close enough. Imagine being in a space ship getting sucked in, and because of the limits of human technology, you cannot escape and you have to accept your fate. Which, might I add, takes a cruel amount of time before you actually are consumed. You would have over an hour of thinking.

This is brilliant. Wonderful production details

The best video with full of concepts and clearity

Kudos to everyone who made this animation. It is so easy to understand when you see the clear picture. You really did a great job and I’m so greatful for this.

Science is so fascinating I can never get enough.

Interesting how you see the clock in the spaceship ticking slower, when time is actually flowing faster in the spaceship than where you are, as the spaceship is further from the black hole than you, and time slows down the closer you are to the black hole's gravity.

Exciting, educational and full of new and never heard of infos. A+!!! I wish I even had one physics prof with such an interesting approach and all these facts. Subscribed! ☑️

This is by far THE BEST explanation of what you can expect from a black hole but also gives you a very fair explanation of what it is and how it works, I think is art! I just would like to see another video using this example and the theory of heating black holes and virtual particles.

Well, that was terrifying. more please!

your videos are extrimely clear and well made. A little background music would make it even better

I remember as a kid. My ma got a space encyclopedia for my 9th birthday. Got me hooked on astronomy. Ive lost my way in life a little but watching this made me smile 🥲 feel a little joyous just like back then

This was awesome

I wasn't expecting it, but this is a fantastic breakdown of special and general relativity. Bravo.

Awarness which created this video, yo this is absolutely stunning and am immense pleasure to watch. The Illustation skills here are really impressive and the thought which went into the explanation while thinking of the visuals must have been really skilled ❤ Also this applies to every video of you that ive seen

I just found this channel the other day, and I gotta say that I’ve never seen a channel explain the physics as comprehensively as this one. I’ve never felt like I understand the way the universe works in such a practical way. Thanks for helping me understand the concepts you talk about. Your team is very talented, and I don’t take that for granted.

'Spaghettification' Love it. The most complex scientific phenomenon known to mankind and our last terrifying moments when interacting with it are reduced to a pasta dish-type reference 😂

Thank you for taking me through the black hole till my end, very grateful 🙏

You guys deserve an award for this. My god it’s just perfect.

This was one of the best scientific videos I've ever watched. Beautifully done and the teaching explanations were amazing

I've had nightmares that were more calming than this...

Congratulations, your explication about the topic is awesome 🚀

Seen a lot of black hole videos, but man this video is dammmm best one I’ve ever seen. You create mind blowing stuff man mind blowing trully ❤

Thanks to the cameraman for going through all this.

This is truly a masterpiece

Thanks a lot for this video! Beautiful one

This is one of my favorite videos of all time, istg

One of the best and coolest videos you have ever made. This deserves millions of views.

"There's no going back" You assume there was a way back if you yeet yourself in it.

The tidal forces would rip you apart before you got past the event horizon. Actually, since time is affected by the intense gravity, it's theoretically impossible to ever enter the center of one since time slows down the closer you get to the center. It would be like going halfway across a room. Then go halfway again. Then again and again and again. You move less and less each time and theoretically never reach the other side. It's fascinating!

Great explanation. Thanks a lot!

when i was a kid, i remember reading about spaghettification as if it was just some abstract stretching of matter, hardly even considering that you're actually being ripped apart on an atomic level. that is horrifying and i couldn't even imagine how painful that would be - at least it only takes less than a second.

EDIT: Please stop with the spammy replies to this. Definitely something that fills me with dread when it comes to black holes. It's like a morbid fascination ... like I can't not ask questions, even though I know what I learn may freak me out. They are incredibly fascinating. I don't understand the space-time things, but it's still fascinating to hear about.

This is one of the best videos I've ever seen.

wonderful explanation, very clear and easily understandable for those who are not phisycists. to me black holes must have a function which is more useful and more creative than just attracting anything that orbits around their horizon to let them disappear like water down to a sink drain. I guess the next thing to prove is the existence of wormholes that connect two blackholes at their extremities.

i tried 3 "other guys" videos about black hole physics, and what one would experience through human perspective. This one explained it perfectly. No mathematics necessary, nor graphs, just beautifully-designed imagery. Thanks for the trip!

This takes the saying "nature, you scary" to a whole new level

Best video on this subject by far

Amazing video, thank you!

What a masterpiece. Please never change the music, it's so perfect!

Yes, I have always heard that once you fall into a black hole, the extremely dense gravitational force (or whatever that is called) would pull you into many pieces.

The image right before spaghettification where it's as if the astronaut is landing on a pitch black planet is quite eerie.

I start my day with your videos! I'm hooked hahhaha

This is honestly one of the best videos I've ever seen on RU-vid, and I've watched many about blackholes. The effort that went into this to achieve this quality is amazing, visualizing the strange nature of blackholes is difficult, but this video makes it easy.

This is horrifying, but fascinating. Thank you for sharing my nightmare fuel lol

Amazing, same energy just like kurzegast, and melody sheep, made me subscribed at almost the speed of light

Beautifully explained!

“Auuuu were goin into the black hole!” “Jerry stop.” “Im just kid-“ “JERRY WHAT WAS THAT NOISE?” “Were becoming noodles, bob.”

If I'm getting spaghettified, I'd want to see the history of the universe unfold before my eyes.

Fascinating, thank you.

Great video! Visuals, explanation - all excellent. At first I felt the desolation of that hypothetical astronaut - falling towards doom, more alone than anyone has ever been. But the last minute or so of the fall - the things one would see, also alone of all humanity, and the beauty of them - that last minute would be glorious. (I realize that, IRL, the ride would be a lot less enjoyable as no current technology can protect us from that initial onslaught of radiation and gravity even well before hitting the horizon, and whoever is making the trip would quite likely be blinded, unconscious, in agony, or already dead.)

Darn i was really hoping it would show out history right before our eyes.

Its truly a once in a lifetime experience.

So, regarding the "watching the history of the universe unfold" thing. Am I right in thinking that the history of the universe does still appear to play out, but all around us (due to aberration) and growing constantly simmer until it's invisible (as the Doppler effect redshifts it out of our visible spectrum)?

These videos should be funded by academic organizations it is of best quality I've ever seen.

I always thought it'd be crazy if in the future we discover that by sending a person into the black hole sends them back in time.

Really clearly laid out and explained, both verbally and graphically. Thank you.

Best video on Black Holes. Also, The idea that even if one tries to send signals back to people on the spacecraft, let's say to share the answer that can solve all mysteries of life, but it will never reach. Is such a haunting yet poetic situation.

Amaxing theory video! I would love (as an old man) to fall into a black hole in such a protective suite to experience all and more You mentioned in the video!
