How to Make A BLACK HOLE bomb & Black Hole Civilization | Kurzgesagt Reaction

Kurzgesagt explains Black Hole Bombs and Black Hole Civilizations and now I'm thinking about figure skaters, Brian Cox & getting caught in a rip current + a music recommendation. Please recommend me some Sci-Fi books!

If you look into a Black Hole, all you will see is Michio Kaku's evil grin.

I usually watch these types of videos BECAUSE of you. This is the rare exception that I'd already stumbled upon. Good stuff.

There is an astrophysicist here on youtube called Dr Becky Smethurst.
She covers all sorts of space news and answers question. She is very enthusiastic and she loves black holes the most.
She has a book called "A Brief History of Black Holes". It didn't get me into science fiction, that accolade goes to Star Trek: TNG.
Songs.
Ayreon - The Space Hotel
David Bowie – Space Oddity
Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun
Quad City DJ's - Space Jam
Black Sabbath - Planet Caravan

Isaac Arthur has a whole section of videos about megastructures, including Dyson Spheres.

As for Science Fiction, I will again recommend the Heechee series by Frederick Pohl, beginning with the novel “Gateway.”

Some interesting music is “The Pentateuch of The Cosmogony, ” by Dave Greenslade and Patrick Woodroffe. There is an accompanying book called “The Second Earth.” Another fun album is “Children of The Sun, ” by Billy Thorpe.

It sparks joy to discover you know of and listen to Isaac Arthur. Fantastic channel, I have surely listened to hundreds of hours of Isaac.

Astrum has done an excellent video on why it's actually difficult to get into the event horizon of a blackhole: the most gravitationally attractive things are paradoxically the most difficult to crash into.

I enjoyed "The Expanse" series of novels. I was introduced to the story by the screen adaptation and was immediately hooked, then read all the published books to keep going while waiting for more of the show. iirc it's written by a pair of authors who shared the nom de plume "James S. A. Corey". They did a lot of the world building for a game of some sort then pivoted to writing their own stories. The first in the series is called "Leviathan Wakes (2011)". idk if you'll enjoy them, but I certainly did.

Book: “Stranger in a Strange Land” - Robert A. Heinlein / Song: “Starman” - David Bowie

[linkinblack]

Somebody else has probably commented this and if not you probably know it already but for anyone who doesnt--if you ever get stuck in a riptide swim to the side. The pull is relatively narrow and usually you can get out of it! I hope!

Have you read the Foundation novels by Isaac Asimov? That's one of the first bunch of science fiction I ever read back when I was 14 and it got me hooked. There are also the Robot novels (I, Robot is part of the canon, but takes place millennia before) which Asimov connected with the Foundation series in the 80s. Asimov also wrote a lot of other interesting works. Fantastic Voyage (a novelization of the movie) and Fantastic Voyage II: Destination Brain (a standalone novel not connected to the first one) are interesting reads.

The Space Odyssey books by Arthur C. Clarke are science fiction mainstays. Everyone knows 2001: A Space Odyssey, but he also wrote 2010: Odyssey Two, 2061: Odyssey Three, and 3001: The Final Odyssey.

For good Science Fiction books, wow, er, here are two choices I rate hugely. Read DUNE by Frank Herbert, that is a fave for me. Also, read the book BEFORE you see the film. if not, read the book soon after. Another choice I highly recommend would be Children Of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Absolutely written so well. Prepare to be surprised. A lot!
Oh, yeah, Issac Arthurs channel is superb. Love your channel too.

Kurzgesagt did a great video about the Dyson sphere, it’s definitely worth a watch

[Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

Music, I suggest:
"David Bowie - Space Oddity",
"Muse - Supermassive Black Hole",
"Muse - Starlight",
"Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun",
"The Prodigy - Out of Space",
"Jamiroquai - Cosmic Girl",
"Jamiroquai - Space Cowboy",
"Incubus - Stellar",
"Newcleus - Space is the Place",
"Elton John - Rocket Man",
"Moby - We Are All Made of Stars",
"The Police - Walking on The Moon",
"Radiohead - Subterranean Homesick Alien".
There are many more but these are good ones to start with.

Two things come to mind...
First, The Simpsons episode where Homer gets sucked into a black hole (introducing then-cutting-edge animation).
Second, the last song on Rush's album, A Farewell To Kings album, where 'our hero' flies his spaceship into a black hole; and then we had to wait for the release of the following album, Hemispheres, to find out if the character lives or dies. The rest of the story is steeped in Greek mythology, and is well worth listening to...

Japanese rock band called Band-Maid have a song called Black Hole that uses the idea of falling into a black hole as a metaphor for falling in love. It's mostly in Japanese, but there are subtitles in the live video that's combined with their song Manners.

Dr. Becky and Anton Petrov both make very good space related videos imo.

[toprap]

Brian Greene and Sean Carroll has interested most about Black Holes, I can listen to Sean all day. He`s an amazing teacher, I usually struggle with focusing but with him I cant stop watching. His videos are usually long but he has some good clips.
I would look at Billy Carson for ancient time and mega structures, I have been reading this stuff for over 20yrs and he became my favorite the moment he entered the field. He`s really good

I had a military philosophy course in college which delved pretty heavily into a science fiction novel. Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein. In addition to being a pretty great story (and made into a pretty poor movie), it discussed concepts like citizenship through service, rules of war, fair treatment of prisoners, suffrage, punishment, and civic virtue. It's really a philosophical novel masquerading as science fiction. I recommend it.

[markofisaiah]

Psyche And Singularity by Timothy Desmond goes DEEP on black holes, Jungian Archetypes, synchronicities, how the mind meets matter and much more

[jaykaufman]

An Isaac Arthur Rabbit Hole is the best kind of rabbit hole. You have good taste!
