This video is about how efficient various reactions are at converting mass to energy (as we know from the Einstein mass-energy equivalence of E=mc^2). Antimatter is very efficient but it is not naturally-occurring. Chemical reactions like fire or explosions are very inefficient. Nuclear fission and nuclear fusion are better, but not amazing on an absolute scale. Non-rotating black holes (Schwarzschild) and rotating (Kerr) are by far the most efficient, due to their accretion disks and very small radius of their innermost stable circular orbits.

With a small enough black hole, you can convert 100% of the infalling mass to energy. Small ones are "hot" and have significant Hawking radiation. So you get one that's the right size to produce the power you want and then throw in mass periodically to keep it from getting smaller. If you stop feeding it, it shrinks, gets hotter and radiates faster and eventually blows up. But keeping it in balance is pretty easy if you are talking power needs along the lines of Norway or the world. Trickier if you want really gigantic power production from a smaller black hole.
That’s actually really smart.

@@susnojutsu2525 That breaks the law of conservation of energy
But Japascho would be losing mass by having his cells ripped off from him by the air
@@LeonBlack666 That's incorrect. The mass does reduce. Wasn't this taught in the final year of HighSchool?
I had no idea the event horizon would be further in in the spinning black hole. I thought the size depended on mass only and had wondered if it possibly was because space couldn't hold more information in that volume.
I like the idea of sacreficing cats to the cosmos to get energy in return
No cats were harmed in the making of this film.
Or they did after loosing 42% of their mass, but we will never know.
Vincent Cantin Sounds like a great diet
All information was lost after throwing the cats into the black hole, so you can't tell if any were harmed.

Now you just have figure out how to capture a rotating black hole and how to fully collect the energy from the cats you throw in.

Questn, actually, as a macroscopic object, we are 99% energy and 1% matter. The protons and neutrons in our atoms weigh more than the sum of their parts (being the quarks inside them). The quarks alone account for 1% of the mass of the hadron and the rest is energy coming from the kinetic energy of the quarks and the strong force interactions binding them together.

I really think that there was a typo in the Chemical Reaction's section:
I.e., [5e-10 (Released Energy in Grams) / 5e+3 (Cat’s Weight in Grams)] × 100 = 1e-11% (not 1e-9%); and it’d take (after removing the percentage) 1e13 (ten trillion, not ten billion) cats to power Norway with chemical reactions for a year.
P.S. If one is to use the percentage’s perspective (i.e., in the Nuclear Reaction’s section, 150 cats were supposedly needed (which is 100/0.7 = 142.9 cats)), the Chemical Reaction’s section shall then be needing a hundred billion, also not ten billion, cats.
Nerd/ᐠ｡ꞈ｡ᐟ\
I'm guessing that the chemical energy released in reactions was itself stored as the mass of chemical bonds themselves, which when broken are converted into energy.
Endothermic reactions presumably result in more mass stored in the reactants, that mass coming from the ambient heat of the room

There's an even better solution to this with rotating black holes. You can directly harvest the rotational energy of the black hole through superradiance of lasers. Surround it in a reflective surface - or more likely arrange wave guides in specific patterns, and superradiant scattering will dump huge amounts of energy into the laser drawn from the rotational energy of the black hole
Indeed, but cat is much funnier than lambda
I think it’s called a Penrose Sphere, for anyone wondering - Kurzgesagt did a video on it also about the biggest bomb in the universe
Time to update this great presentation: In Sept, 2020 LIGO reported a merger of two BHs of 85 and 66 solar masses to form a BH of 142 solar masses, radiating 9 solar masses! of gravitational wave energy, so the total BH mass was dramatically reduced (and not by Hawking radiation). What is the mechanism? Where was this mass/energy relative to the EH before merger? I can't find discussions of this anywhere, not in scientific papers, internet presentations or CZcams. Thanks.

You're asking the right questions, my friend!
I _think_ yes, but asymptotically far into the future for any frame of reference further outwards than the cat's. So if you want to actually see the cat land, you have to throw yourself in at the latest with the cat, if not just ahead of the cat.

The object I threw into the black hole is crashing into stuff as it orbits / spirals in... but the stuff around the black hole is also necessarily orbiting / spiraling in, too. So the crashing doesn't have as much oomph. It's not like my object is crashing into stationary stuff. I could throw it against the tide of the accretion disk-then there'd be more violent crashing-but that goes against the thing he was saying about rotating black holes.

I read something before and it said the efficiency could reach almost 100% if you drop the object into a black hole very slowly to almost 0 speed. It was mind blowing.
Time to drop everything, but slowly
In the schwarzchild radius video, you said the mass of the Earth would need to be shoved into a sphere 1cm in diameter to collapse into a black hole; Here you say 2cm, what’s up with that?
The math is way off in this video. Everybody knows that cats have 9 lives, so each cat can convert 9 times and thus all these numbers should be divided or multiplied by 9 depending upon which direction we're doing the conversions. Remember folks: reduce cat overpopulation, reuse cats up to 9 times and recycle their litter too (it smells bad, might as well burn it away at the same time).
yes it is
Why burn the litter if you could just throw it into the black hole? It's more efficient and doesn't smell as bad.
Besides cats can't have 9 lives because it would mean there's like 378% efficiency in their case, which obviously violates the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
Because of that, Cats can generate more energy than an Gamma-Ray-Burst, and would thereby make almost the entire Universe collapse. That is why alien live has ceased to exist. Once they found cats, they didn't know about their 9 lives, and threw a cat into a black hole to power their colony. After that, they were completely wiped out, but the solar-system was in the safe zone. You should thank cats for sparing such mere un-cute humans

Oh my, i love that game
Assuming that we some day create a processes that can capture energy from matter, anti-matter annihilation and turn it into anti-matter con be done at more than 50% efficiency so long as we keep feeding in matter we sustain this cycle and use the energy not used to create more antimatter as profit to power things or create even more anti-matter. So long as this process is scalable you could in theory start from a single anti-quark (bit small, anti-hydrogen would be better) and keep feeding in mass and scaling your anti-matter production until you are producing sufficient power. This will obviously take a huge amount of mass, just a fun thought though.
I was gonna say that I feel bad for the cat that has to be chopped in half for this to work, but honestly, getting chopped in half is a much less painful way to die than being spaghettified in a black hole.
Step 1 find a cat
Step 2 throw the cat into a spinning black hole
Step 3 find a way to extract energy from black hole
Step 4 rule norway
Step 5 ???
Step 6 Profit
We could extract the energy using some sort of solar panels? It's heat, right?
@@Alexander99602 Google Penrose process. You can literally extract energy from a black hole on the expense of its rotation. Basically, you'd have to throw a cat into the region called ergosphere (which is the region where things cannot stay stationary anymore) with the right amount of speed and in certain direction. End product is the cat (unfortunately to be more precise, a part of the cat) emerging out with more kinetic energy than she initially had.
@@dariobarisic3502 guess we found a good ideea how to gain energy... Too bad we can't use it for now
Instructions unclear, powered Sweden instead
Me: But how do you change the radiation into electricity?
People: We boil water with it and rotate a turbine!
Nayuta Ito you can also harvest the mechanical energy.
Looks at Dyson Sphere
"wow, so fancy and advanced! How do it works?"
"we pick the heat from the star, boil water with it and spin some turbines"
@@ynntari2775 500 years after:
Humanity has learnt to extract infinite amounts of vacuum energy in order to boil water and spin turbines.
Humans spend so much time trying to define what elements they associate with humanity. If aliens see humans, humanity's associated element would be spinning turbines.
Well humanity discovered a new way
Solar cells
To be precise, black holes produce so much energy from stuff falling into them because those 42% are the mass equivalent of the kinetic energy gained by it which can be turned into radiation e.g. by fricton. None of the rest mass of the object is converted to energy, assuming it doesn't undergo nuclear reactions in the process (which would not add much to it anyway, as said in the video) or get into an environment that is extreme enough to violate particle conservation laws. Hawking radiation violates particle conservation, for example.
Another pretty efficient energy source involving black holes is to extract rotational energy from it. That can be achieved by sending stuff close to it, but not so close that it cannot escape anymore on its own, which can lead to that stuff ending up with a higher sum of kinetic plus potential energy than before... or perhaps it just works wirh photons which can end up witha higher frequency (aka more energy) than before, I'm not sure (there is a video about it somewhere on CZcams). That would be an almost limitless source of energy, as black holes can have stupendously huge amounts of it. For example, the supermassive black hole at M87 (the one we have a picture of) has a rotational energy of about the equivalent of 10 trillion supernova explosions IIRC... and a few people here might know about how huge just a single supernova is, from the following cite from what-if.xkcd.com/73/
"However big you think supernovae are, they're bigger than that.
Here's a question to give you a sense of scale: Which of the following would be brighter, in terms of the amount of energy delivered to your retina:
- A supernova, seen from as far away as the Sun is from the Earth, or
- The detonation of a hydrogen bomb pressed against your eyeball?
Applying the physicist rule of thumb suggests that the supernova is brighter. And indeed, it is ... by nine orders of magnitude."
Just a single supernova is so huge that some astronomers use a separate energy term for it: The foe. It stands for "ten to the *F*ifty-*O*ne *E*rg" which is the order of magnitude of a supernova, in cgs units which are still common in astronomy.
