Black hole blade sounds like an anime character's ultimate attack.
IDK if this was an intentional Black Clover ref or if you just hit that nail on the head.
@@giz6385 what do u mean?
@@zhangbill1194 In Black Clover there is a character with Shadow magic who cloaks his blade in darkness, he calls his attacks things like Black hole Blade and Dimension Slash.
Yup yup
@@giz6385 I don't remember yami having something called black hole blade, but i am probably wrong
but I don't think dimensional slash counts
"How does the dark saber work?" dude just lower the brightness slider on the handle.
Or just have a science fiction explanation for something like antimatter that would destroy light and not allow it to escape the saber.
This would also explain the pull of the saber in canon since not just the light but also air and anything that came close would be destroyed, creating a vacuum.
@@kly8105 ye i was thinking about that dark saber is made from condense dark matter
@@kly8105 Antimatter does not destroy light. Antimatter annihilates matter thus creating light, but recent experiences in CERN's antiproton decelerator show antihydrogen has the same emission and absorption spectrums as hydrogen, as we had theoretically predicted. So, as far as we know, antimatter interacts with light in exactly the same way as matter does
dude, just turn the night mode on
Or put in a black lightbuld.
This video is going to get a whole lotta viewers soon.
Your damn right
That's why I'm here 😂
That’s...why I’m here.
199 yes
He used a “black kyber crystal” to build the dark saber. Black kyber crystals in the Star Wars universe are EXTREMELY RARE hence why most light sabers used different color crystals. As the first Mandalorian Jedi many 1000’s of years ago Tarre Vizsla wanted to build a weapon that was distinctive to his people which is why it represents so much more to Mandalorians than just a lightsaber. Trying to help you out sir.
R LI yeah he did use a black kyber crystal but we don’t have a black kyber crystal in real life so he trying to explain it using science in our world
@@wat3r-243 We don't have kyber crystal period so that's kinda moot.

@@RazielGrimm yeah plus they were made like how "he can eat black holes!" without having to explain stuff since not everyone is a scientist

Still flawed, but more likely than a black hole lol.
Alternatively the plasma just doesn't radiate away its heat due to some reason or another.

That's because it's scientifically correct

Or... You know, make it so hot it radiates in the ultra-violent range and turns invisible for us
Yeah, that's what I assumed. Possibly because the Darksaber always looked more like a really dark purple to me.
Was looking for this comment, figuring I wouldn't be the first to think that. A Jedi's black light.
with real-world physics, that's not a thing. The hotter an object gets the more light it radiates at all wavelengths. The color shifting just shows where the majority of the light is emitted.
@@meganofsherwood3665 ultra-violet just means, light that has a wavelength shorter than that of the violet end of the visible spectrum but longer than that of X-rays, I don’t think most know this because I (a person who likes to know thing) had to google it so most everyday non-scientists would probably not know this so here you go KNOWLEDGE
Kyle: Dark Saber is super heavy and has black hole effect
Real explanation: It's just a Mandalorian made Lightsaber powered by a black Kyber crystal
Just ignore the white edges
Saameon Williams according to Wookiepedia, the blade actually has a black hole effect, being able to pull nearby object towards it, and that the aura around the blade is simply highly compressed photons as they are forced into the blade, their energy once in the blade is converted to sound, hence the blade making a higher pitched sound than any other. The flatness is explained away as being that the emitter is a line, and the emitter stretches the energy beam within the hilt to fit outside, so the blade is completely flat.
The kyber crystals within the SW universe are extremely small, and so fitting in the colour crystal and focusing crystals would be easy even with the odd shaped hilt
@@authorofone Huh,never thought of that
Also the darksaber (depending on the canon) gets heavier either the less you have wielded it OR the more uncontrolled emotions you have

Kyle: This is how the Darksaber works
Tarre Vizsla: **Nervous laughter**
Ok, so I did some research and I found out that what's much more viable than a 'black hole sword' is just a regular lightsaber that contains an invisible plasma (like the kind we see in the ITER plasma in the Korean tokamak KSTAR (you can read about it on their website)) the plasma here is a blistering 150 million °C, and it isn't even visible because it simply doesn't emit light in the visible spectrum. Maybe the Darksaber is some kind of hyper advanced form of this? Idk, just seems more practical to me 🤷♂️ I realize there are a lot of logistical hiccups with this idea too, but I'm just throwing it out there.
Keep scienceing!
humans don't emmit light in the visible spectrum, yet we don't all look like darksabers
Also in the canon it appears that this particular blade appears this way to every species regardless of what part of the EM spectrum they can perceive.
Since all visible light lies within the full electromagnetic spectrum and our weak primitive eyes only see visible 'white' light, it would be perfectly plausible for a darksaber to appear invisible or dark to most species.
If the darksaber is truly stronger and hotter than the normal blue Jedi lightsabers, then it could just be operating at much higher frequencies in the Ultra-Violet, X-ray, & Gamma Ray ranges. Any atmosphere near the blade might give off a faint indigo or ultra-violet corona around the blade. In fact, the darksaber might actually go completely invisible in space or without atmosphere and glow brighter when it is swung through the air as bits of oxygen around the saber are superheated...
@@travisholloway3792 you've got a good point which means the dark saber is even more dangerous than the regular lightsabers. Not only is the heat gonna kill you but radiation sickness as well!
Not visible to or eyes does not make it invisible. It would still block the light from passing through it. Vantablack.
czcams.com/video/QCI2KYhC8vk/video.html
1:09 "The light saber is hot and dangerous, just like Han Solo"
LMAO
So we know now: the mandalorians were far ahead of the other species in star wars and could control a black hole. Or create a sword with similar properties
Suprise spaghettifacation!
Perhaps instead of having a black hole in the hilt, it instead creates a Einstein-Rosen bridge that has an exit near a black hole. So when the "blade" is powered, it just opens the door to the gravity, allowing it to come through.
Also, in the past you conjectured that opposing magnetic fields is what allowed light sabers to interact with each other. How would a dark and light saber interact with each other?
At any rate, if there exists an accretion disk, there exists an abundance of gamma and X rays being emitted from them. So, suprise cancer too, I guess.
So, it is more of a sword shaped portal generator than having a black hole next to your face? That could solve the spaghetti problem.
Just Said that exact same thing
Sh@t
Thought i had an original idea
It's funny, but I was thinking of a dark Jedi that journies to a black hole and traps it in his kyber crystal, turning it a void-like black. Thus using 'The Force' to get around pesky science facts that stops having a black hole in yet face.
But what If it is so hot that you cant see it with your eyes and you can see a glowing because it is cooling down?
I'd be that person who brings a sword-shaped portal to a gunfight. Haha.
Kyle: if it was a dark sphere it wouldn't be a sword
Me: no but it would be one helluva mace!!

@@outboundflight4455 this is the way
*nods*
Kyle, first I would like to say that I have watched your show for a long time and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I am currently in college as a physics major and have thought of a couple of ways to make the dark saber work though they aren't as cool as your hypothesis with the Black Hole Blade.
The first way is that super black substances and objects, such as vanta black, can absorb massive amounts of radiation such a light and convert it to heat. Combined with a super strong magnetic field that is opposite to the traditional lightsaber, for the attraction effect (though not really useful unless you can change it instantly), it might be able to absorb enough radiation to turn the air around it's edge into a plasma, which allows for the unusual shape.
The second way is more likely. The mandelorians may have been able to create a super bright plasma that makes the center of the saber appear black. This effect is observed when looking at bright lights, objects around the light appears black or dissapears entirely. That's just my two cents though.
I like your style.
I think clashing with "regular" ( >.< ) Lightsabers may become a problem for your lightsaber designs though.
I mean, assuming we're even accurately characterizing how "regular" Lightsabers actually work... which... um... I mean at that point, like Kyle said "because science..." your designs are just as valid lmao
Because none of it is valid, y'know?
Completely agree with your second hypothesis and actually expanded a bit on it on possible mechanical mechanisms behind how to do it but for the first wouldn't that require producing a physical center to even suspend a dispersion of the super black substance? Also, the attraction your talking about would cause problems even if you could change it instantly as the field would then pull the other blade into the super black suspension destroying the material
So to elaborate a bit more on the first hypothesis I thought of using maybe an extendable interlocking plates made of graphene and carbon nanotube. This would allow the blade to be light and durable. The carbon nanotubes would provide structural stability and be the super black coating I mentioned ,vanta black. You could then run magnetic fields around the edge of the blade. By switching the polarity instantly you could attract the opponents saber to yours and then switch back to create a repealing effect instead keeping the blades from coming into contact with each other, which would also allow the user to strike the enemy without the darksaber being attracted to the lightsaber when reposting. I could be overestimating the effectiveness of the materials though so you would need a more science fiction material to take their place.
The second thing just sounds like differences in exposure latitude that would depend on the sensitivity range of your equipment than an actual event.

Star wars: Hey we love the channel and would love to sponsor a video
Kyle : Ok..... Heres why star wars gets everything so wrong!
It's actually because it uses what's known as an "inverted Kyber crystal" most lightsabers use a Kyber crystal to focus the blade, but under the gravitational force of a black hole, a Kyber crystal compresses into an inverted kyber crystal That focuses the blade in the opposite way, combine an inverted Kyber crystal with a fine cut Kyber crystal and you get the flat blade like design with the inverted properties (the reason there's no more darksabers is because there was only ever one inverted Kyber crystal found)

Boze Einstein condensate shaped like a sword vibrating at fast speed it would be both a wave and a particle basically frozen light anyway.....it would be dark and very efficient at cutting
How's that for a theory
Also Kyle there are more than 4 phases of matter 😮🤭
That would be a good theory except for in Star wars Rebels we see Sabine Wren wielding this blade and all over its surface white material shimmers and moves therefore using a Boze Einstein condensate would not be the most accurate. Please check out my comment where I outline my theory of a dark matter blade.
I must however congratulate you: you are still closer than Kyle 😁
I think he was referring to the 4 natural phases of matter. Boze Einstein Condensate is an artificial state of matter as there isn't anywhere in the universe cold enough to produce it.
i mean, technically, not really? for there are only four NATURAL phases of matter, those being, solid, gas and plasma, however, the fifth state is man-made, thus, 'artificial'
@@feliciacorreia2 There's more than four phases of matter that exist naturally. Rather than say 'artificial' it might be more accurate to say there's only 4 states of matter that exist outside of extreme conditions.
Sounds like a vibroblade
The theory I love is that the blade is flat rather than cylindrical, as it appears to be, and the electromagnetic field prevents it from cutting on the flat of the blade, meaning it only emits light along the cutting edge. This also comes with an explanation for the hilt design that aides in edge alignment, and perhaps even it’s purpose in construction, as the plasma energy concentrated along the edge may be far stronger than on a normal blade and able to cut through Mandalorian materials like beskar.
After using the "darksaber" almost exclusively in the force unleashed seeing the darksaber appear in TCW show was awesome. They aren't the same design, but the blade color is the same still my favorite lightsaber to date.

Hey Kyle, love the show! I think you might have fun with a couple ideas here:
1) you mentioned in the video about standard lightsabers that they're composed of a few grams of plasma; how long could you stretch a couple grams in a cylindrical black hole?
2) sometimes in physics, things can be "effectively infinite" without going to infinity; how long would you have to make a cylindrical black hole for it to have an "effectively infinite" length? Is there an ideal "length to width" ratio for black holes to manage effectively infinite lengths such that we might be able to relate size of black hole to mass, something akin to the schwarzschild radius but for cylinders?
If those turn out to be questions that either can't be answered or can't be answered easily, that's fine, but I figure they're at least worth going through! Thanks for all you do, man; you're totally rad fam! (that's how the kids these days talk right)
Kyle when will you do a Gundam themed episode? We need a video on Gundam's unique weapons.
"Gravity works to make everything a sphere"
A *sphere*
I'll say it one more time for the flat earthers.
*......A SPHERE!*
yes but a lot of flat earthers don't believe in gravity and you need gravity to pull an object into said sphere.
@Mihails Akulenkovs Mathematically a sphere is the volume inside it. A sphere is a 3 dimensional object (defined by (x-xc)^2 + (y-yc)^2 + (z-zc)^2
@Mihails Akulenkovs But that equation simply describes which points belong to the sphere and which don't. It is ultimately a semantics question, but at least I was always taught in geometry (and this might be different outside of Portugal) That a sphere is to the spherical surface what the circle is to the circumference. A sphere is a 3d object. The spherical surface is the 2d shape. It's in the name, it's a surface
As for calculating volume, the fact that the equation shows r^2 is irrelevant to that. That is simply the product of following many pyhtagorean theorem calculations one after the other. Notice how both the spherical surface and the sphere exhibit r^2. The change is in one being an equation and the other an inequation. Similarly, both the circle and circumference exhibit r^2, the first in an equation ( (x-xc)^2 + (y-yc)^2 = r^2 ) and the second in an inequation. You could go to the nth dimension, and still, you would have r^2. ( (a-ac)^2 + (b-bc)^2 + ... + (z-zc)^2 = r^2)
But flat earthers deny gravity too. Didn't you know?
Mihails Akulenkovs: czcams.com/video/4FShc3zcLBw/video.html
this is the funniest video I've seen from yall. The Porg joke made me laugh more and more. Gotta remember that unexpected stuff repeated with the right timing is hilarious
There is also another explanation. Previously you discussed the subject of "blackest substance" with paints. What if the "blade" is a reaction creating an elementary particle that once interacting within the confined field holding the blade shape begins to absorb light. This absorption generates heat and also would eventually generate light. Now if this force is sped up through the use of further technology (its star wars, they have it 😂), we could also theorize this could create a hot plasma around the edge of the blades field. As for the "pulling" effect on other lightsabers, this also would explain it as the matter would be absorbing immense amounts of light. As a lightsaber is essentially a blade of just, well, light, it would be drawn into this light absorbing material.
So in theory, the blade isnt a light saber in the traditional sense, but a sword containing a field array to hold the release of generated matter that greatly absorbs light to a scale we havent recorded yet with a high efficiency. It might use a lightsaber crystal to generate the light to kick off the initial reaction so that it had a way to generate the extreme heat and cutting ability instantaneously, but would weigh more due to the added materials needed for the overall reaction.
Best I got. Love the videos. ^.^
"What If": That Mandalorian Jedi just used the hyper-advanced magnetic field technology to create a slimmer, straight, and much stronger field to crush the plasma into an extremely fine line of extremely high density? The radius on the event horizon could then be explained by perhaps something to do with the combination of extreme magnetism and gravity and the way our visual centers adjust for contrast: Perhaps some light does make it through that area, but not enough to register.
you dont have an event horizon with plasma though, only with a a black hole.

Hey Kyle, great video as always. How about this as a way to make the darksaber work:
Instead of the blade being made of extremely large amounts of mass a la a black hole, what if the blade is dark due to the absence of any radiation? Imagine a blade capable of reducing the gases in it to absolute zero (kinda the opposite to the way a regular light saber heats a set of gases to plasma). The heat removed from the gas would need to go somewhere. I propose this heat is channeled along the same magnetic fields as a regular light saber to create the heat needed for cutting, thus giving the glow to the dark saber.
The absence of heat, in addition to some form of magnetic field shielding the gases inside, should create a black saber. Any photons entering the saber would lose all their energy and be absorbed, turning into the heat energy along the edge of the weapon. This also would mean that the air near the exposed, extremely cold gas would condense, creating a slight fog around the blade. The reflected photons from the helical bands of magnetic fields carrying the heat would light this condensed vapor in a glow around the dark portions of the blade.
Obviously, this solution has the problem of what happens when the blade passes through something, but if the heat along the magnetic fields is sufficient to vaporize the material it touches, the blade itself should pull the heat from that vapor in a feedback loop.
My math skills aren’t near strong enough to determine the feasibility of such a device, but it sounds like it might be more feasible than a black hole blade.
Actually, doesn’t work that way because once you get to negative Kelvin It produces heat that is hotter than any positive temperature no. I know it’s weird, but that’s what happens and that’s why dark matter/dark energy works that way. Anyway that’s what I put in my comment, the actual science behind it
Hi Kyle, love the show!
One quick observation: if the light emitted by a lightsaber was simply due to the heat of its plasma as dictated by Wien’s law, then you could not have all the colours that we see in the movies. You could only add up the colours from the large wavelength end of the spectrum to the smaller wavelength end i.e. red, orange, yellow then white and eventually blue for the hottest plasma. In the same way there are no green stars, there could not be green lightsaber.
Therefore lightsaber colour has to be due to some other mechanism such as the photons emitted from transitions in energy levels.
he gave his own theory on light saber color in another vid, don't know which one tho
The colour of the blade is dictated by the colour of the focussing crystal
You're presuming that the plasma being used is acting as a perfect black body, but there's nothing stopping you from putting some boron in your plasma to get a green color. In principle one should be able to get plasma of any color that you can make a neon sign.
But why then is the Black Hole shaped like a single-edged sword?
Because a Mandelorian made it. Mandalorians are a war race and usually find work as bounty hunters, so if one of them was to design a light saber, they'd want it to be bladed
Maybe it's not a black hole, it just emits light in a spectrum we can't see.
UV light saber!
I feel like kyle is just gonna keep "accidentally" losing body parts until he can fulfil his dream of being all robot

That's easy.. just make a tech so he dont lose his personal self awareness and then go join the Borg.. make them think they assimilated him and then he takes over

"The lightsaber is hot and dangerous just like Han Solo"
Firstly, the Darksaber is easily the coolest lightsaber in Star Wars. I think the Darksaber could be black because it's "Dark Matter plasma" a science fictional state of matter(you know, like the show lol). I love this channel for attempting to bring some science to science fiction. Great video!
Second, I recently watched a pretty interesting video on a micro "cold plasma" jet that can be used to sterilize surfaces without being hot. I think it was the plasma channel or something like that.

In my opinion, I think the dark saber has some sort of antimatter crystal in it. Because we don't yet know what kind of light antimatter would emit or reflect, that it's possible instead of emitting light when energy is added it actually absorbs and even pulls light towards it. This could explain the white glow around it as well as why light sabers seem to get pulled towards it.

Apparently you need more mass :-P
Great episode as always... But I felt the lack of "surprise light saber!" and spontaneously catching on fire (a problem the darksaber doesn't fix either)
My headcanon is that Kyber crystals are stable amorphous solids, they stay as crystals until they're vibrated at a high speed, making the crystals expand. The vibrations makes them move so fast that friction is what grants them cutting power and its cauterizing and burning properties
Me: thinks I'll be a warrior if I can get a lightsaber
What I'll actually do 0:17
That's in fact why only Jedi can wield them. Having a blade with zero weight and a 100% chance of cutting whatever it touches would require a precision that makes it useless to any but the most skilled sword fighter

Discount Thor: if you had a sword made out of a black hole no one could lift it, no one could swing it.

@@RDeathmark kinda - I don't know if your thinking about it right - let me try explain :
5 x10^2 = 500
5 x 10^3 = 5000
So in the same way that multiplication is just fast adding the difference in density is just by one power of 10
(I seem to remember it was like x10^16 vs x10^17)
Hey Kyle another great episode! For a blackhole blade for the purposes of the blade being more real or capable of existing, coundn’t the blade be actually just a casing with a microscopic blackhole with matter being shoved inside being used to produce extra radiation like the matter of Jupiter does in the your one episode. This way it could be just do as it should minor amounts of attraction while the radiation produced heats up the casing to slice through anything. What would the casing be? Idk dark matter maybe still need to figure out what that exactly is.
By any means would you consider the blacksaber an anti matter or dark matter saber? Could this be possible? How would that add up?
0:09 uncharacteristic void-canonical error of activating a lightsaber this close to yourself and not immediately bursting into flames.
and screams.
Maybe because the fire was due to the plasma, and this was a black hole blade?
Void Kyle is just omnipotent and invincible in his natural void habitat.
If the dark Sabre were indeed a black hole, there is a mechanism that exists within the Star Wars universe that could potentially allow someone to use this weapon, and you even mentioned it in your Outro.
In Star Wars, the ships that they use have full normal gravity. This isn’t achieved by rotation, but by some kind of technology that allows the manipulation of gravity directly. Presumably, they would have discovered the mechanism by which gravity works, such as the proposed Gravitons, and be able to manipulate them in a variety of ways. Which means they would very likely have the ability to increase or decrease the strength of gravitational fields, at least on a small scale.
This likely explains how their ships of such odd shapes but obviously high masses aren’t crushed by the gravity on a planet, and also explains how they can lift off from the gravity wells of planets with such ease, and could perhaps explain their faster than light travel capabilities.
Now, if the Dark Sabre were indeed composed of black holes, or more likely, a chain of black holes lined up and locked in place by magnetic fields such that their event horizons overlapped, then all someone would have to do in that situation is incorporate some form of anti-gravity shielding into their blade or perhaps their armour, to mitigate the effects of the gravity from the black holes.
I do see another potential problem though if this is true. Such a blade would never be able to be turned off, like a normal light sabre, because the black holes would be released to cause damage. If they were particularly small kugelblitz black holes, then turning off the blade would cause the black holes to violently explode, destroying everything in the area.
Ryan Hibbs Thats pretty in depth
Ryan Hibbs Dad, you’re crazy haha
If they have gravity and anti-gravity technology, couldn’t they just make a gravitational field without mass? Then when it’s turned off, the gravity goes away.
Angela Haar Oh yeah, I mean, I’m not a physicist or anything, but I think that might work. Any physicists want to weigh in?
This is fascinating. I think I need to make a sci-fi story next on my channel. This gives me so many ideas.
I would consider it an artificial event horizon created by manipulation of scapetime like a warp engine.. A directed spatial field that only looks like and at the surface acts like touching an event horizon without all the mass. Though it would not cut. It would rip matter apart at the basest level.
Expect this to get a lot more views

@@becausescience No, transhumanism wins
Silly science man! Dark Saber is just what happens when you put your Kyber Crystal in upside-down!
Also: Love the show; keep science-ing!
hey, kyle great video as always. but I had a thought what if the Mandalorians thought of all of this and either made some Futuristic way to manipulate the gravity in either direction or force on specific objects (because come on if they do know how to shape black holes then maybe they can control the gravity as well) or maybe they have something in there armour that protects them from the tidal force that would spegettifiy them
"What is a darksaber?" A reconstruction of the original superlaser, controlled by Durga the Hutt. Oh, wait, they took that out of canon when Disney bought Lucasfilm.
Hey Kyle, love the show. However there are a few other problems with a black hole sword. Assuming it has a Mass of 1.5kg (a rough average for a European Longsword) and using a calculator I found online (because I'll admit I don't know the math) you wind up with a black hole with some... Exciting characteristics.
Specifically the black hole would have a lifetime of approximately 2.837424e-16 seconds, reach a temperature of 8.181355e+22 Kelvin (not degrees, Kelvin is an absolute scale!) and achieve a peak luminosity of 1.583752e+26 megawatts.
So, on the one hand, you'd go to activate the darksaber and wind up in the middle of a rapidly expanding shock front of problems. On the other hand, smuggling one in so someone could activate it would be a really quick way to cripple the Jedi Order.
I like to think it’s dark matter energy. A reverse polarity plasma that’s generated. This would possibly explain the attraction to other lightsabers.
It could also just be a mandalorian iron crystal. Fill in the mysterious & omitted pseudo science gimmick with another omitted pseudo science gimmick.
@@hunter5822 hmmm by my understanding it wouldnt do anything if out of dark anything the only thing it would would be to pull with the equivalent of a normal sword and the attracted enemy sword would go right throug it basically creating unparryable unvoluntary attacks you have to deal with with an unobservable sword XD
You basically just described the radioactive decay of an extremely (relatively) large atomic nucleus, and the temp is pretty close to absolute zero if it’s correct (why would the temp be so low with that amount of luminosity?). Sounds like it would be a decent flashbang more than anything.
@@Rwdphotos I think you've got the temperature integers a little mixed up. To put it into perspective the core of the sun is estimated to be 15.6 million Kelvin... which is still like 15 decimal places short of the temperature of the blackhole sword. The long version of the temperature is 81,813,550,000,000,000,000,000 Kelvin.
Michael Cave did you mean to write e^22 and not e+22?

They say lightsabers don't have an edge, but they couldn't have been more wrong.
Always fond lightsabers, energy sabers, and beam swords rather interesting. Though only few use a blade like the darksaber. Most similar to either star wars lightsaber or gundam beam sabers. Could you compare the types of energy, laser, and plasma swords and blades from different genres?
Hey just a thought, what if you superheat plasma to such temperature that is emitting light in x-ray range? Regular light is absorbed due to it being a thing and all emission is in non visible
