    The universe isn't just a vast empty ocean sprinkled with galaxies - most of the atoms are actually drifting in between, in the intergalactic medium.
    If we look closely, we can see who is in charge here: Quasars, the single most powerful objects in existence. As small as a grain of sand compared to the amazon river, they reside in the centers of some galaxies, shining with the power of a trillion stars, blasting out huge jets of matter, completely reshaping the cosmos around them. They are so powerful that they can kill a galaxy.
    What are they, and how do they mold the structure of the universe at their whim?

      That's because it's the same, just on another scale.
      As a baby you know nothing, and your home is your world. As a young kid you start to understand your town/city. Then the planet. Then our Sun and our neighboring planets ... and if you show interest, that 'zooming out' of scale never ends.

    It so hard to comprehend stuff like that, honestly I spent a lot of time just wrapping my head around the fact that the time when something happens and when we see it due to the light needing to move through vasts amount of space to seem like a mere dot or line in the sky is amazing to me like what if a minute streak across the sky happened when my ancestors were alive? and it took THIS long to reach someone's eyes? just makes you appreciate everything a little bit more.

    The concept of time dilation near black holes always blows my mind. It's mind-bending to think about how time can slow down near such immense gravitational fields. Black holes truly bend the rules of our familiar reality.

      well, it's relative. Time never slows down from our perspective. And how hefty the time dilation is around a black hole is a mystery.

    • @ArawnOfAnnwn
      @ArawnOfAnnwn Před 10 měsíci +99

      You won't feel it. Time only slows relative to people far away. As far as you're concerned, nothing has changed (apart from you being burned to a crisp and reduced to a stream of atoms of course).

    • @Mike__B
      @Mike__B Před 10 měsíci +82

      Time dilation occurs near ever gravitational body, hell GPS satellites need to be programmed to deal with it because time ticks differently on Earth than it does for things orbiting Earth, granted the amount is absolutely minuscule but for something that requires high precision clocks to help triangulate where you are it absolutely is necessary.

    Can we talk about how INSANELY beautiful Kurzgesagt's animations got lately? I mean, they were always beautiful, but FOR GOD'S SAKE, just look at this! They somehow manage to keep their charming characteristic style, while making their science videos a full art piece. I can't put my finger on what exactly makes their new animation so amazing, but it's just STUNNING and every time I finish watching one I can't wait to see the next one.

    Space is terrifying. Beautiful, but terrifying. Ever since I first learned of quasars, I've wondered if some day Earth might get blasted by the polar jets from a quasar. We'd have no way to detect it, much less defend ourselves from it. Too often it feels like we are a sitting duck in a sea of violent chaos.

      We’re at a point where we’ve mapped enough of our galactic neighborhood that we’d definitely know if a quasar jet was drifting towards us, and galactic drift like that takes a _long_ time from our perspective. It absolutely will not happen in your lifetime, or even your great grandkids.

      There's a limit to how much you can improve something.
      The animation will likely reach peak quality and after that it either stays that way or you change the style but it won't be the same.
      Also top quality animation takes way too much time which maybe is worth it.

Makes me wish I still had children young enough to sit and watch educational videos with. But I still love watching them on my own.
    I won't thank you for putting that terrifying visualization of a fanged quasar into my head. I'll say this much: Kurzgesagt does not gratuitously horrify us, but it certainly doesn't shy away from showing us scary stuff in an honest and straightforward way.

    • @TheVanillatech

      We'd have to live another 15,000 years or so, and continue of the same level of exponential in technology we have been in since the Industrial Revolution, to even come close to being able to observe deep space phenomena in real time. It will probably take us another 2000 years or so just to be able to get a vessel safely to another system, such as Alpha Centauri. The only way to get the speed would be thermo fusion engines, with stellar nagivation able to see and avoid any rubble entirely, some form of huge stellar shield AND enough living space to provide for multiple generations of travellers, as it would still take dozens if not hundreds of years to get there.
      But yes. There is no chance in hell we live that long. If the 55 degrees Summers, failures of crops, 90% ocean coverage and all out nuclear war doesn't get us ... the mosquitos will. Eventually. It's only a matter of time...

    It's hard to imagine, but one of my favourite parts about this is that, if you pointed a quasar at an entire galaxy, it would be shredded apart by the massive radiation beam coming off of the accretion disk. We like to think about powerful anime characters throwing attacks that split worlds but imagine a single blast that even just lightly strobing for one or two passes capable of not only shreding every habitable world unlucky enough to have a line of sight with it, but literally capable of cooking a star and shunting enough mass off of it that it could go extinct. Of course it would take hundreds of thousands of years just for the blast wave to reach their targets but this would be doom to an entire sci-fi universe by itself

    Minor note - It's practically impossible to fall "straight" into a black hole. Afaik, they all spin at extreme velocities, quite literally dragging spacetime around them as they spin. This forces anything coming close to the blackhole to take curved paths around the event horizon as Space itself is twisted like a corkscrew around it.

    I'm curious what the collision path of Andromeda and the milky way looks like. The math behind such an event sounds incalculable between the numbers of stars, their positions, and the relativistic speeds of these galaxies.
    Heck, we still can't even account for how galaxies are holding together as our current theories show that there is a severe lack of matter for it to work, so we have stop-gap theories like dark matter to fill the void (hehe) until we have a clear picture.
