How a Black Hole Would Kill You

What would happen if you crossed paths with a black hole? Nothing good, that's for sure. Here are two popular theories about how exactly a black hole would kill you.

[BuyBBStonk]

If you were near a black hole and looking back out into the universe, millions of years of time would pass before your eyes, watching galaxies fly across everywhere in your relative few minutes.

2:26 "the space ship approaches the event horizon, then disappears behind it" is incorrect. Light takes an infinite amount of time to escape from the event horizon - that is what defines the "event horizon", so an outside observer can never see the ship disappearing behind the horizon. What happens instead is that the light from the space ship becomes redshifted the more the ship approaches the horizon, and at the horizon becomes infinitely redshifted (and darkened) with the ship being seemingly frozen in its position at the horizon. The ship will have passed the event horizon without noticing anything special, but the outside observer can never see it passing the horizon.

I once read that the gravity from black holes is so powerful that even light can not escape it.I thought in this simulation it would describe the ship compressed down to the size of just a few atoms yet still retaining it's mass.

Black holes are just giant lag spikes in the universe

[JackBrilla]

Not even space can stop me from going into that black hole....

This video needs to contain more theoretical elements such as, what would happen if the spaceship COULD withstand the superheated gas. Would spaghettification happen then

[LiberatoCaires]

Keep doing a great job, +SpaceRip ! Very informative videos for every sort of space-lovers

[garryentropy]

warp factor nine in reverse counterbalances the gravity, affording a quick side step into multiple universes via wormholes, thus avoiding spagettification.

Spaghettification sounds like a sick album title

[radithyajoenan]

yeah?? ask mccoughnahey because he survived this shit without breaking a sweat..

Excellent video! And very well written script and music. Kudos to all who helped produce the video.

Actually, an outside observer would NOT see the ship go through the event horizon. An outside observer would see the ship slowly approach it and eventually stop on the horizon, then red shift until it disappears.

[uzimachi]

Since black holes are still a huge mystery to us, I always imagine alternative scenarios, one of which you get passed the event horizon, and then suddenly poof, you show up in space, like nothing happened, and then you travel back to earth and find yourself back in 1455, then you realize the black hole's warp of time and space jumped you into another time in the past, or in the future, something cool like that.

2:17 to 2:27

I don't think this is correct, is it? An outside observer witnessing a falling object, accelerating to c at the event horizon, would witness the object become immensely red-shifted to the point of invisibility. Even if the falling ship remained visible, it would appear to slow down indefinitely due to the effects of time dilation within the immense gravitational field. It would appear to remain on the edge of the event horizon forever, frozen in time.

We don't have a clue what black holes are. We still view space through this small minded human thought process. We assume that the entire universe functions withing the laws of physics we understand to date but all we can really do is look through a telescope and guess. Black holes could be a natural wormhole to other areas of the universe or to a different universe altogether because why assume there is only one? I often think about physics and wonder if each sun affects its solar system in different ways? I think if we ever get to actually explore beyond our solar system we are going to find out that we know very little about how the universe really functions. Lets all remember that nothing about the universe that we have looked into so far is a solid factual analysis that should be taken as is. Its all theory and speculation which means everything is open to debate. Its one of the main reasons I love astronomy. Anything is possible because the universe is seemingly endless.

A++ for video effects and narrator's voice; but I'm really sorry to say C- for scientific accuracy in this video.

Black hole: *exist*
Hawking radiation: *iam about to evaporate this hole whole career*

[TheRolemodel]

shouldnt it be "how would a black hole kill you?" i think the black hole doesnt know why it is killing you
would be cool if they were selfaware tho

[MyEyesAhh]

An outside observer would technically see you redshift then disappear
