What If You Fall into a Black Hole?

If you want to continue thinking about black holes a tad more, you can do so by getting one of the many black hole related things the Kurzgesagt team made with love:

Black holes are the most powerful and extreme things in the universe and they are wildly weird and complicated. What would happen if you fell inside one and what are they really?

Murderer in the year 4023 in Italy:
"Sentenced to death by spaghettification".

[Clutchjigsaw]

As a kid I was both intrigued and terrified of space. Nothing's changed.

[FPJourney]

I love learning about black holes and the amazing phenomena they can produce. The idea of falling into a black hole is both terrifying and fascinating. It's incredible to think about the immense gravitational forces at play and the potential effects on an object or person. Keep up the awesome content!

[richardthomas]

I genuinely feel grateful to these birds for their acts of extreme sacrifices, just so we can know more about the universe. They don't seem to hesitate even when the narrator mentions certainty of death. Respect.

Kurzgesagt : "To survive longer, you must do nothing"

me : doing exactly the same thing during my math exam.

[piguyalamode]

A note that is weird: It is surprisingly hard to actually fall into a black hole. This is for much the same reason as it is surprisingly hard to fall into the sun. Namely, if you are in orbit around a black hole, you have to expend a huge amount of energy to slow down enough to reach the center(or let the accretion disk do this for you), and if you are not in orbit of the black hole (which is unlikely), your best bet to getting there is to go into orbit first and then slow down.

[ReusableRocket]

the line “black holes are the universe’s equivalent of diving by 0” is the best way to explain black holes in one sentence

[christianmoreno]

*falls into black hole and opens eyes*


“hey you, you’re finally awake”

[Torchingale]

The guy has one of those voices that should be turned into a voice assistant, soothing, clear, and precise.

[Neony]

When I was a kid, I heard about black holes and my friends said they were dangerous because they could swallow our planet! With your explanations, I now have a better understanding of black holes!

[rvmyvus]

Please never stop makeing videos. Your videos make me think in ways I've never imaged and I thank you for that.

[finzar]

I wanna take this time to thank the team at Kurzgesagt for existing, on behalf of the whole YouTube platform.

[AnomNum]

I like how this video started out centered around the idea of falling into a black hole, and then halfway through, turned into a compendium of all information known about black holes in general.

[NSingh]

Your channel is great!! It really teaches me useful information, sometimes I just watch for fun!

[failedleopard]

"Black holes are even more screwed up than they get credit for."
Same, honestly.

[demolisherman]

Not gonna lie, jumping down a super massive black hole sounds like a really rad way to go

[hafoola]

This is the part I love about your YouTube channel you make what if, bright side and your videos combined

[dgareandro]

This channel is certainly guilty of my love for science and learning new things since 2012 :) so thank you Kurzgesagt!

[burntgrass]

It’s honestly ironic how I’m procrastinating my homework by watching an educational video

[mikotagayuna]

Kurzgesagt: To survive the longest you must do nothing.
Me: Proud to be a contributor to the cause of black hole safety.
