This matter is not normal.... What should we call it?


_Strange matter_

[Imad_Oofus]

As a physicist once told me:
Quarks are strange - if you try to separate them the energy used creates new ones.
This is comparable to pulling on a rubber band so hard that, instead of breaking, a new rubber band pops into existence and the original reverts to its original position.

[dovahkat]

Having come back to this video after seeing a lot of theoretical apocalypse scenarios, it occurs to me that a lot of those scenarios can be summed up as "Our destruction would be instant, unavoidable, and we would have no idea it was about to happen beforehand because it would hit us at the speed of light."

Just a lovely little thought. Instant, spontaneous annihilation.

[hollyleaf]

Normal ducks: Quack quack
Kurzgesagt: Quark quark

>throws strange matter into black hole
>black holes turn strange holes
Me: huh, that's strange

[Regibois]

The four horsemen of what the heck are you

1. Strange matter
2. Singularities
3. Antimatter
4. Dark matter

“We first need to learn the rules before learning how they can be broken.

Idk why but I love this quote

[josemanuel]

Kurzgesagt is the only channel that I´ve seen that says "and this is where things get weird", and things get actually weird.

[foskupac]

I want to imagine a casino in the future where the people are betting if a star becomes a black hole or a neutron star

[totmgsrockxd]

_"What doesn't kill you simply makes you... _*_stranger."_*

[speedymg]

I think a Spore-like universe creation game made by you in your art style would be the coolest thing. Like say you're at the begining of the universe and the conditions are right to form a neutron star and the player decides whether it collapses into a black hole or not and whatever decision the player makes sets conditions for the future of the system. Once you've created the conditions for a planet to harbor life, you begin the planet stage and control conditions and events on the planet until the conditions create intelligent life. Once they reach their space age you go back to space and control their exploration and conditions of colonized planets. I'd play the hell out of something like that.

*Humans:* throws strange star in black hole.
Sector clear.
*blackhole:* vibrates and turns into strange black hole*
sECTOR NOT CLEAR NOT CLEAR

[esd]

"the ideal state of matter"
"earth will be consumed"
"we'll never see it coming"
ngl you could make a religion outta this

[asterghst]

love how scientists just come up with the most terrifying, existential crisis inducing ideas about how the universe works just to inflict them on us and then go about their day like they didn't just create a brand new phobia for everyone who knows what this stuff is!


scientists would make excellent writers tbh

[alternax]

I love when he says the “there’s good odds that this will never happen to us” it like gives me a full on existential chrisis and then calms me down lol.

[WahooMc]

Nobody:
Kurzgesagt: *New ways to kill the Universe*

[Keriously]

Sun: *exists*
Strangelet: I'm about to end this star's entire career

[jomarhidalgo]

I just watched a video about atoms that they released 8 years ago. Neutron stars were mentioned there and it didn't discuss much about their core. I'm just amazed at how much science progresses over time.

[SylentWhyspir]

This reminds me of the story of King Midas. All that he touched, turned to gold.
