When Black Holes Collide

Black holes are fascinating in so many ways- especially when you put two of them together. Their resonance and orbit physically ripples space itself, emitting waves that can travel through space for billions of years. Since 2016, we have been able to detect these gravitational wave events, and earlier this month, we detected a record-breaking one.

“Just like you can’t escape that early start tomorrow morning”

That hurt

[thegoodjuices]

Nothing can escape black holes? I'd like to test that theory cause I've been lifting lately and I think I could take it

[Business_Memo]

12:22 "... just like you can't escape from that early start you have tomorrow morning"

Listening to this before bed, I feel targeted

[cska]

Shoutout to the numerous camera men falling into black holes and shooting their cameras our way so we can watch the footage 😢

[tedfaun]

I've slept with this guys voice in my ears more than my boyfriends.

When you get spaghettified, you are on your way pasta event horizon.

[QuestionEverythingButWHY]

“Black holes ain’t as black as they are painted. They are not the eternal prisons they were once thought. Things can get out of a black hole both on the outside and possibly to another universe. So if you feel you are in a black hole, don’t give up—there’s a way out.”
-- *Stephen Hawking*

[CaptainJack]

Such a brilliant creator who creates videos that are amazing in so many ways.

I am always taken aback by the level of research done into these. Not only do you collate an incredible amount of information about these topics, but you extensively understand them to the point that you can calmly explain them to the layman.

Couple this with the pacing of your diction, the fantastically edited graphics and the intrigue of the source material; here is of the most underrated channels on YouTube, and certainly one of the most deserving subs that I've made.

*I don't know how, but Sea just makes the titles and thumbnails to be very interesting which makes me watch him*

[basic]

"What a privilege it is to be alive at such a time when we know so much..Something that has been said many times before and will be said again, and again...forever."

[Madplanetguy]

Black holes gotta be one of my favourite things in space

[oliverseibert]

I cant sleep anymore without SEA's voice

[josefrinderer]

I’m very impressed by how much you studied on this subject and how accurate this video is. I have a degree in physics (though I haven’t used it in years) and everything, from the smallest details like the differences in tidal forces based on the size of the black hole, or even comparing the earths orbit if a black hole replaced our sun are so spot on.
You’ve gained a loyal subscriber. Thank you for this great content.

gonna ask my science teacher if we can watch this in class on monday

[normieee_]

Mans said cataclysm and i got reminded of...of different times.

[InsaneElmosGaming]

Im so glad I found this channel. Space is and will always be my biggest curiosity. The loop of time, multi universe theory, time travel and ETs really make you feel like nothing. Makes you value life a little more too.

[jacke]

Aww yeah a half hour episode! This is gonna be good!

Edit: How the hell did you know I have an early start, waking up at 7:00 tomorrow?!

[ThrashGeniusOG]

0:31 Sea: “cataclysms”

Also Sea: Why is nostalgia stabbing me right now?

[ManicPandaz]

Scientist: “I feel a disturbance in the space-time continuum...”
Star Wars: “Hey..!”

[qziz]

You know it’s a good day when SEA uploads a 26minute video
