Thanks for watching super nerds! Quick correction: I was referring to *angular diameter* not size in my discussion of how hard it was to see M87*. See you next week! -- kH
Hey Kyle! Quick idea, could Thor's hammer be made by putting a black hole into the hammer? That would give it the excessive mass the comics imply it would need, and explain the gravity to pull it back to Thor if he has a kindve black hole magnet.
Hey Kyle I have a question. Was this one of the super massive black holes I've heard of that exists at the center of all galaxies?
Black holes being so immensely, ridiculously large, surely this tells us something about the nature of fundamental energy. What i'm trying to say, rather poorly, is that something like this black hole, because of its vast impossible size, it's telling us, it's not a "thing" or just "something really dense", but rather some sort of fundamental state of whatever our material (universe) existence may have expanded from, a clue to the nature of reality, its origins and its existence cycle.
For some reason I miss parts of your videos because I daydream about you with me. Sorry.
I've heard of a different black hole on the Cygnus constellation that Steven Hawking co-founded that presumably is much,much smaller than this one and I've heard of the super massive ones found at the center of all galaxies and wondered if this was one of the latter kind
If it emits radio waves, could you listen to "black hole music"?
Yes, they already have this actully, they have special instraments that transmit he radio waves into sound they have the sounds of space venus mars neptune its super cool look into it if you have the time
Just listen to Back Hole Sun by Soundgarden.
Yeah but we don’t here light waves, only sound, so u would need to convert the light info into sounds...
It makes you wonder if any stars nearby would yell at the black hole to turn its "music" down.
@@SCP.343 Exactly. 🕳️🎶
I'm not a sciency dude (I love science, i'm just some random teenager out in the middle of missouri that knows next to nothing) but I love this channel, it's always fun to watch, you make great content.
All it takes to be a sciencey guy is an ability to ask a question.
Dido:)
You can always learn more dude. Never stop being curious
@@FnRenner And to write the numbers :p
Also from Missouri :D
I think most people feeling underwhelmed by the image quality of M87BH might be too young to remember a time when the best images we had of Pluto were a handful of enlarged pixels; not to mention all the tv shows that couldn’t but take artistic liberties onscreen. We’ve now reached that point with black holes.
Kyle: *draws orange oval for the sun, and blue oval for a focusing lens*
Me: ...Portal. The focusing lens is a lie.
I love how much Internet Thor is geeking out over this. Is adorable.
SCIENCE NERDS ASSEMBLE!
"The Watcher in the Lake" is the name of the creature from the Fellowship of the Ring you referenced.
The Watcher in the Water.
If it’s spinning, it supports not only a possibility of an Einstein-Rosenstein Bridge existing. It also supports the possibility of Einstein’s theory for how time travel could be real.
Kind of. In that they require a spinning black hole to be theoretically possible. But basically all models of black holes predict they will spin, thanks to the conservation of angular momentum.
🤷♂️I’m not a scientist.
I know it requires spinning black holes
And theories said that the spin
But this provides evidence those theories are true.
Which is just cool.
But here is the real question it actually spinnig? Because its technically not there.
every object in the universe has a rotation to it.
a rotating black hole proves absolutely nothing.
the direction of the rotation doesnt mean anything either.
You are a true enthusiast of science, happy to see how excited you are with the black hole photo!
Cheers from México!
14:05 Perfect time to mention Isaac Arthur's channel. He has multiple videos which cover this precise topic. It's called a Nicoll Dyson Beam.
Calls humans "mostly hairless apes", has the most glorious locks.
Great episode as always in my opinion. I hate that I missed the live version of it because of internet issues, however it was still awesome to see this video and hear this type of thing explained in the fashion you did.
The weapon from Ender's Game is the Molecular Disruption Device, or M.D. Device. Since MD is the abbreviation for a doctor, it was ironically called the Doctor Device. IIRC it creates a field that prevents atoms from sharing electrons, thus breaking all molecules into their constituent parts.
fantastic content. binge watching everything because science and nerdist. seeing someone so enthusiastic and PASSIONATE about science (and general nerdism) is so cool:)
Thank you so much Alex! Best praise I can get -- kH
Keep doing what youre doing Kyle, I love this channel and these nerdy videos. In this day and age, I feel that passion for knowledge and intellect of any sort (however trivial or not the topic is) seems underappreciated and often brushed off. Seeing people talking about something they love really makes me happy, so THANK YOU!
I love all of the videos this channel does, my sons are always amazed at them all, from why you don’t want a certain super power to a tree that literally evolved to kill everything that would harm it in basically every way know to man besides looking at it from afar. That was amazing to me that all four of us sit to watch your shows when we are all around each other an it is great to have this show that we live watching as I did with the Spider-Man show with my dad, you gave me that memory I have of my dad, with my sons an for that I thank you from that ever expanding edge of the known universe and back! Thank You Because Science and Thank You Kyle Hill.
The Sun magnifying glass was the evil weapon of the villain in the James Bond film "Die Another Day". It was crazy.
Yo Kyle, Veritassium said it, the M87 black hole spins clockwise !
Clockwise from what perspective?
@@justinsims7935 ours?
Justin Sims from the image
🤔🤨🤩
@@justinsims7935 clockwise is clockwise, you cant change it.
I absolutely love how excited you are about M87! I was jumping around my front room when I saw it, and I'm just a random person. To be a scientist and have that photo, I can't imagine the thrill! Thanks for all your videos and all your excitement in everything you teach. Even an "older person" like me loves to learn.
I enjoyed this very much. great job and I like the LIVE thing. you pull it off well.
4:55 for the video
Is it just me or is the waiting intro getting longer and longer.
Having posted many of these time stamps…
I feel the average is a little over 5:00.
A god among men
Well the intro was also very interesting so i dont get why someone would skip it
@@alexkaff4864 When the video is first released its a direct rip from the livestream that generally has 5 minutes of music with a logo as the only thing on the screen. This is later edited out.
Yes, we love your highly educational science videos. Thank you!
This whole video is basically just Kyle fangirling over M87... It's awesome
10:27 Kyle goes country and then had to restart to get back to his normal voice 😂😂
That's really funny. What if that IS his normal voice trying to assert itself and Kyle we know is the stage voice??
I would try a question:
If the Black Hole is sorrounded of heated gas and that is what we are seeing glowing around it, Why we see a "black" circle in the center and not the glowing gas in front of the black hole (between the Black part and where we are)? In other words, why we dont see a glowing sphere?
You spoke with Kip Thorn? Holy smokes you've got a great life Kyle.
AND, Derek Muller is his dad!! 😲 😉
I love how excited you are about it! It's the same way I feel about science, and it's really nice to see others get so much joy out of knowledge.
It's cool to see you so excited! As an amateur astrophotographer the interesting part is way they managed to combine all that data to resolve something so tiny more than the numbers associated with the subject. (It's really not all that far away or that large, compared to a lot of things we photograph...what's amazing here is the image process itself.) Also, don't forget to tell people to hold their pinky *at arm's length* in order for it to be about a degree across.
Thank you, that was my question because a finger's apparent "size" is hugely variable depending on the distance to the eye, so I was like "what?".
@@h1r086 Yep. Hand measuring arc sizes this way works (as a rough measurement, it's hardly precise) because if you have bigger/smaller hands, you probably also have longer/shorter arms so it balances out.
Broski, you help make Science relatable. and that is just cool!
As per the magnifying the sun on earth...A James Bond movie did that lol
20:40 - Yes, you can definitely pass close to a black hole without being pulled in. If you fall in from a large distance, provided you have the right angular momentum, you can pass by 2 times the radius of the event horizon and escape again. If it is a large black hole then you don't need to worry about tidal forces either, because the tidal forces are smaller for a larger black hole (provided you are outside the event horizon).
yeah, lightsabers would have been a game-changer in LotR. can you imagine the mayhem if a group of jedi threw their lightsabers into groups of orcs during, for example, the battle for Helms Deep?
So glad we did this I love science!!!
To gather all the suns sun's energy you wouldn't use a magnifying glass, you would surround it with parabolic mirrors angled in such a way the merge to a singular focal point.
But if the focal point is small enough you can wind up making a kugelblitz. So the question is black hole related after all.
@@StumpyDaPaladin who said it wasn't black hole related, after all? it's just not magnifying glass related.
Event Horizon references make every day better. Personally I cannot be doing with spaghettification, it takes forever.
This is also why it's so hard to visualize gravity. The bowling ball on a sheet analogy is missing the fact that the "sheet" is in every single dimension and angle possible.
Omg the hair portion is 🤣
Damn black holes are just amazing
The way that I understand Star Wars travel is that the faster a ship can go in hyperspace, also dependent on ship mass, the less a gravity well affects it. That means that when the hyperspace jump is getting calculated, the Falcon can get closer to gravity wells and thus the 12 parsecs is a good measurement when other ships might have to take 15 parsecs or something.
Can you do an episode about all the measurements you use, like joules, pascals, arc seconds? It would be nice to better understand all that.
Love the show, Thank you for doing this channel, the world needs this now more than ever!
Biggest takeaway for me in this video: Now I know The Expanse will get a fourth season. 😍
Mane-tain is starting to sound like Gym business with that leaving your ego at the door talk.
+Because Science - I love watching all your videos as you make science more interesting and fun. I especially like the sentiment put into WHY you are a science educator and the enjoyment you get out-of it. I have been jnterested in all sorts of sciencey stuff since I was a boy, hanging around my local library, (with REAL BOOKS. To youngsters out there, books are like the internet, bur made of wood pulp). I was lucky enough to get a job working in science for a long time, although now am doing stuff of a more artistic bent. Keep on keeping on.
I absolutely love watching your videos. I actually really want to be a Physicist/Astrophysicist/Astronomer and am I'm college for a double major in Environmental Science and History to use for an eventual Physics Master's if I can do it. Keep up the amazing work and I hope maybe one day I'd be honored enough to work with you or win a Nobel based on inspiration from these videos. I love you Kyle! Stay cool, stay classy, and never cut your hair.
Thanks for solving my doubt Kyle. Love the show.
I would really like if you make the calculations about Nicol bolas setting Liliana on fire with a single look. Thanks.

Helium filled drives are cool, but also industry standard for most enterprise data centers at this point. The fun part is finding out there's a transfer standard for how fast you can move data using physical drives named IP over Avian Carrier (IPoAC) after the idea of strapping small USB drives to pigeons.
I was in a university astronomy class when Interstellar came out (which was a riot watching the professor trying to answer all the questions everyone had about the theories and physics in the movie), but it would've been 100x cooler to be in that astronomy class for the release of the M87 Black Hole photo.
Do you add captions after the recording? It's great material on our projector at the brewery
They're auto generated by CZcams
Not always, sometimes it's actual people adding the captions
@@kegangardner2277 you can tell when it's people because those captioners do stuff like "up's and downs", either you use apostrophes to denote plurals or not. HINT: YOU DON'T USE ONE EVER EVER EVER lest you look like a moron...
Their music always reminds me of Perfect Dark
You've been the only one so far to show just how big the actual black hole is. I know there are stars out there that would easily engulf half of our solar system if placed in the center, but I don't think anyone else has shown the scale of how big it is. That blew my mind
Good stuff Kyle....Looking forward to the next episode
What's at the center of a black hole? Nougat or caramel?
Probably caramel. He did say that black holes can release plasma
Both at the same time
How many licks will it take to get the the center to find out?
I started watching the Expanse because of this show. Great show.
Same here!
Best show on tv. Have you started reading the books? I'm on book 5
I know people always complain about he whole a parsec is a unit of distance not time, but in Solo he takes a shortcut that no one dared to take in the kessel run. That's why its so impressive when he said he made the kessel run in 12 parsecs.
I love how you can go from being so enthusiastic about black holes to giving humble and great advice about hair . :)
Poor Hawking...
We basically saw the plasma around the 🕳.
I just wanted to add something really cool about the formation of black holes. When the form, it is because the gravitational force has overpowered the strong nuclear force that keeps particles from existing in the same place. Basically, they break physics!
Regarding the color of the accretion disk in M87 black hole, the scientist who worked on the project stated that they colored it orange to depict how bright the emissions are, while in reality if you could see the black hole's accretion disk with your naked eyes it would most likely appear white slightly tainted red or blue.

Kyle, could you do a how to fight a black hole and win video?
Spoiler I'm guessing the answer is don't.
Fight it by not going near it

While trying to explain lightyears visually and interstellar distances I thought of using rice to represent a second and gluing them in a line to show a lightyear....I would love to make this simple representation with 31,536,000 seconds and an average length of rice being 7-9 mm sadly the total distance would stretch between 137-176 miles!!! I have always loved your videos and you have beautiful👐🏻👐🏻... I hope you found my visual insightful and can adapt it while doing your ambidextrous pen spins🤹🏼♂️!! Keep educating because knowledge is our greatest tool against negitivtity!! Thank you and be blessed my friend 🖖🏽
I actually love this channel and show keep up the good work bro
Kyle, first off I love the show, second, how much force does it take to rip someone apart particle by particle. And would a black hole have enough force to do so????
I don't know the answer to the first, but I can tell you that black holes absolutely do that.
When humans work together, we can achieve great things!
A parsec is indeed a unit of distance. Even before Disney's new canon shift, Han Solo was not referring to time or speed. He was referring to the fact that his ship and his piloting skills were such that he could skirt closer to black holes than others, thus shortening the distance he had to travel.
For mentioning the Little Doctor weapon from Ender's game you just became my favorite.
The Enemy's gate is down
Watching "BS" always puts a smile on my face, and I always learn something new. Thanks a lot everyone, I hope I'll catch a live stream at some point :)
Thank you for answering my question. Just so you know, Iam not going to use it as an evil villain plan. I have other plans that will work way better.

Dude I love your show. It’s funny and informative.
Douglas Adams got that part right in his hitch hikers guide, Space it says is big, really big, you won't believe how hugely mind boggling big it is.
What? Helium filled hard drives aren't anything special, and are regularly available. This is a bit of misinformation, but no one is perfect. That's not at all why they are filled with helium. They're filled with helium to allow for high capacity per platter in addition to maintaining 7200 rpm for the HDD. You can buy them on newegg right now for ~300 for a 12TB HDD. (You can search it on newegg as 12TB helium HDD). Helium filled HDD's were purchased entirely for their space density, not because of altitude constraints, and they were certainly NOT created for this project exclusively.
I don't suppose you work for NewEgg do ya?
@@schmoozingkaboodle5405 No, I'm just in IT.
I was only yoking about the new egg thing ✌ (ya see what I done there= genius😒👎)
@@UEGIIVIRUSIIXO you're in a new egg?
@@schmoozingkaboodle5405 YOLKING , so no, i don't see what you did there...
So if a Neutron Star is "the max" in gravitational pull and mass, then a black hole is the result of the physics engine that runs us being overloaded.
Science is like a million times more interesting with you explaining it. I really like your channel!
Yo Farticuno GOT ME DYING 😂😂😂

....how do you watch this channel and not know what a light-year is? Like the actual numbers involved aside, how do you just not know the definition 'the distance light travels in a year'? O_o
Because you never know when somebody will come in via youtube algorithms or being linked to this via a friend off facebook. When explaining shit to an audience you don't know, always set your explanation bar as low as possible to avoid confusion.
@@shadowfiresword ....but it's literally the name ...how O.o......
@@mudpie6927 Never underestimate the potential for human idiocy :P
Maybe someone just wants CLARIFICATION
Sigh, I'm just annoyed that they spent time on a simple question-that, as @MUD PIE mentioned, is in the name, and while I don't really know what would need clarifying, especially given the point I'm about to make-that the answer to is *easily* found by spending less than 5 seconds on Google, when they could have spent time answering something actually interesting.
I was just as excited about this trying to tell my friends why this was so amazing and on par with the moon landing and all I got was absolute indifference. I went from absolute elation to depressed in the matter of an hour. Thanks Because Science I appreciate what you are doing.
The HDD being filled with helium is likely not because of the altitude but being the newer Shingled Magnetic Recording such as HGST released 10 TB drive filled with helium in September 2014.
HDD were used because at the time because HDD provided the best storage to cost rather than other options like SSD. Magnetic tape is still used in backups as it is even cheaper than HDD per GB. The newest tech in HDD is Heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) [HDD=HardDiskDrive, SSD=SolidStateDrive]

I feel smart after i watch the video
also when you don't KNOW ANYTHING about it
Hey Kyle, love your work mate, I'm going to try and educate you on Han's reference to the Parsec when talking about the Kessel Run. The Asteroid known as Kessel (where much of that Galaxies Spice comes from) is located extremely close to the Maw of 3 Super Massive Black Holes. The Kessel Run is between (I think, not 100% sure) the Hutts home world of Null Hutta and Kessel, because of the black holes there is only one approach, now, if Han says that he is the only one that can do the Kessel Run in 7 parsecs (or whatever it was) what he is referring to is the fact that he made that run using that route and did it in X amount of parsecs because his ship the Falcon, is capable of going closer to the Event Horizon of the Black holes effectively travelling the same route, but less distance. I hope that makes sense? :)
Yeah, but all of that is retcon. When the line was written and performed, it was because Lucas didn't know what a parsec was, and didn't ask anyone.
Dr. device vs. Galactus would be an awesome fight to witness
Wrong! A light year is just like a regular year, it just has less calories
Lol
as Ralph Kramden would say, "Har-har HARDY-Har- har!" Though that preceded light beers, even the LITE beers.
One light-year is 9.46 trillion( 9.46x 10¹²) kilometers or 5.88 trillion miles (5.88x 10¹²)
Just one light year is nearly impossible to comprehend and 55 million of them is just insane.
This was my idea of fun.... In 4th grade I figured out how far a light year was.... On paper. I'm a dork
so easy when you explain it
It's amazing how strong sunlight is. Just a few square inches of sunlight, that has all ready been filtered by our atmosphere, focused to a point is enough to burn wood. A few square feet of sunlight is enough to melt metals. There is a video somewhere on the internet were they took an old TV screen and they were melting stacks of coins in a matter of moments.
A pic of a black hole plus a recent pic of a quantum entangled particle. This has been a very good year for scientific discovery
TFW you only contribute 0.26% to the group project and get 100% of the credit
TFW when the 0.26% made all the difference and you deserve the recognition for being the person who put it all together when no one else could.
Don't mess with thor

I think the "0.26% of the work" you're claiming she did was ultimately the lesser part of her greater contribution to the project.
I just watched the first episode of expanse and loved it!
I love you for accentuating the DISTANCE part when you mentioned parsects as a measure. :) I probably spelled that wrong and I apologize.
You did. It's parsecs. One parsec, two parsecs.
If you have curly hair - own that. Trying to straighten it is only going to damage it.
I have naturally curly hair and can tell you, Kyle's basic tips work for curly hair, too. Daily Shampoo, Conditioner, and Argan Oil. The only alteration I suggest from Kyle's advice - do not blow dry. Apply the oil, brush it out to reduce tangles (the oil makes this easier, btw) and leave it be.
What's also amazing is that this was originally thought to be impossible, until one physicist put some of the theoretical information together, and realised that light coming to us from near the event horizon would have particular properties, enabling us to see the silhouette of the black hole itself.
Hey! Love your vids! #becausescience
If lightning was much hotter when it struck something, would it make a louder boom? Being that the sound comes from air and water molecules moving out of the way super fast/ heating up- would adding more heat make a difference?
back in the 60"s when I was in school we would see this science clip.I do not remember the person who did it but it was cool. I had a semi bald science guy suit and tie...and the thing that made it interesting was that he would talk to cartoon figures dealing with what he was talking about....Like the sun and how its energy would help earth and its plant and animal life on it...He would talk about blood and how it helped our bodies and various other subjects...and for the life of me I cannot remember his name or the series he did but it was entertaining and interesting
