What If a Black Hole Entered Our Solar System?

Eight planets, hundreds of moons, hundreds of thousands of asteroids, and billions of comets orbiting our Sun make up our Solar System. And not once has a single black hole disturbed our planetary routine.

But what if it did? Would this uninvited guest swallow up everything on its way through the Solar System? Or would it just slightly disrupt it?

Watch more what-if scenarios:

Produced by Underknown in Toronto, What If is a mini-documentary web series that takes you on an epic journey through hypothetical worlds and possibilities. Join us on an imaginary adventure — grounded in scientific theory — through time, space and chance, as we ask what if some of the most fundamental aspects of our existence were different.

Short answer: we die.
Long answer: we die, fast.
