Hello and welcome! My name is Anton and in this video, we will talk about a study that found a way to tell black holes and neutron stars apart.

“Neutron stars have a surface you can stand on, but its not recommended.” -Anton

I want that T shirt!

[wayneshirey]

As one who graduated high school in 1963, I am very much aware of how far "we" have come. I'm also aware that technical and scientific progress has been accelerating since then, and I believe that provided "our" social and political insanity doesn't halt that acceleration, we may actually get through the tipping point we seem to be approaching. (The quotation marks are meant to indicate that my progress has not kept pace.)

[sicfxmusic]

Scientists: We can harness energy from black hole
Our Sun: Am I a joke to you? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️

[Bobulisti]

I love the comment section in your videos. No trolls, no hate. Everyone just coming together to wonder the wonderous things in our universe.
Love from Finland.

[bjblitz]

Schools could just show this channel and probably result in much smarter kids

[EPiXum]

Anton I've been watching your videos for a long time now and you made me a bit more clever. I thank you.

[rextrek]

Thank you....Love this stuff...amazing universe around us...its hard to

[AliceSpeltRight]

Probably one of the best creators on this site

[joeb]

The fact that the stuff just “kind of falls through” the black hole makes you think that it’s actually going somewhere

[robincupp]

I really love this channel Anton, thanks. I lived in Tucson, Arizona for many years, and even though I was at Astronomy central station, I couldn’t figure out how to get all the good information that you provide. I just don’t have the time or money to subscribe to all the journals and read all the latest articles. Thanks for doing that for me!

[terryendicott]

It is good that you put in the disclaimer about not standing on a neutron star, "I would not recommend it." I do think that you should have made it stronger with "Do not do this at home!" Just in case some one has a neutron star at home and has a great desire to stand on it.

[edwardnikicicz]

What a great series of lectures, and completely free for us!
It does not get any better than this.
Let us support Anton as much as we can, so that he may continue to educate us.

One day an event so astounding will occur in the vastness of the cosmos that will compel all mankind to gaze upon it and realize just how insignificant we are in the scheme of things 🙂

[AceSpadeThePikachu]

"An advanced enough civilization could theoretically use neutron stars to generate tremendous amounts of energy."

Perhaps to, say, forge weapons that can control the weather, only be lifted by those who are worthy and even take down giant purple Titans bent on eradicating half of all life in the universe.

[STRIDER.A]

How is this not what everyone is interested in, Anton you break it down so well this is awesome stuff. Great video man!!

[science.and.beyond]

Imagine when we have a telescope so powerful we can see buildings on other planets...

[MCsCreations]

So blackholes spaghettify things... Hmmm... 🤔
Maybe it's there where the Flying Spaghetti Monster lives! 😃

[nemjef]

I wonder when we're going to get much clearer and more photos of different black holes. I can't imagine the precision, circumstance and zoom you would need for that.
Edit: Apparently, we're going to be seeing our own central black hole by the end of 2020, but the year is running along a bit now..

[colinadevivero]

Anton, you are the best. I look forward to watching your videos every morning with my coffee.

[glennsmith]

Thanks Anton you answered a question I've been thinking about for a little while.
