We Were Wrong! Black Hole Singularities Don't Actually Exist!

We Were Wrong! Black Hole Singularities Don't Actually Exist!

Here’s a black hole. We imagine it as an enormous, super dark region in space that pulls everything toward it. And once something falls inside, it is dragged to the central endpoint called the singularity, where everything gets squished, right? But what if we told you that’s not exactly how black holes work?

So what’s a singularity anyway? And what really is on the other side of the pitch-black curtain?

Get ready to discover a mind-bending world of black holes, where reality is way stranger than any fiction.

Singularities are just a mathematical placeholder for until we (probably never will) find out what's actually going on in there.

This shouldn't surprise anyone. As Sabine Hossenfelder has pointed out, "singularities" just indicate places where our mathematical descriptions break down. Physical quantities can't really become infinite. Which is to say, singularities simply don't exist in the real world. They only exist in mathematical models. When they do, it indicates that the model isn't perfect.

Is this AI voice based on the kurzgesagt guy

Personally I believe black holes are literally holes in space-time. This may be caused by a singularity or at the point when they are made they literally poke a hole in space-time.
Go through them and you’ll be outside of physical reality and Time.

the amount of AI science slop on youtube is insane

I think it's the general consensus that singularity doesn't exist in Physics, the fact that our equations predict a singularity is just a sign that they are no longer valid and we need better equations.

I've always thought black holes are just much more dense neutron stars, basically "hadron stars" or "quark stars". Or whatever quarks are made up of. Maybe they're just stars that have further broken down neutrons into the parts that make up neutrons.

The video starts at 7:51 for experts. A ring singularity was something that was seen as purely pseudoscience, but here we are, and I am excited if any method of detection of ring singularity is discovered!

[jaygeetee]

I would be very refreshing to hear one of these “experts” admit that they don’t have a clue.

[jamesmkay]

I think that black holes are mostly compressed empty space. So much space gets collected that it snowballs out of control. Traveling through compressed space would feel normal because your own spacetime blends with it’s surroundings, (you would stretch and compress without noticing) but watching someone travel through it would look like they’re slowing down. They have to traverse more space the closer to the black hole they get, so the closer they get, the further away it seems. Eventually the space is so compressed that it’s basically another universe in there, but theres no way out because of the way compressed space compresses time as well

"Hey we were wrong about black holes, so let me begin with a bunch of conjecture and unprovable stuff that hasn't been proven wrong yet."

Welcome back. Been waiting for your new video every day!

[tristanfarmer]

The singularly isn't a place, its an event in time you experience.

[Azzho]

You know there’s someone crazy enough to fly into one, find him, send it brah

[ELXABER]

Wait, so dividing by zero and assuming matter can compress infinitely is incorrect? 🤯 🤦‍♂

[johnb]

Singularities sound like something contradicting the cosmic limit.

[sbalfre]

Who knows, perhaps our entire universe exists inside one of these spinning black holes

[ThereIsOnlyOneRandom]

my whole existence is a theory, and probably we're already a past
