Me: Dog ate my homework

Teacher: "It isnt lost, its just hard to read"

[rufus]

Flat earthers: The earth is flat

Kurzegasgt: reality is flat

[daniellekropp]

Yes, this video about black holes is definitely what I should be watching the night before my AP Bio test. A little bit of existential dread won't do me harm.

[JoseTorres-mgmx]

When I played No Man’s Sky, it was absolutely amazing to enter a black hole. I didn’t know what was going to happen, and even knowing that it’s a video game, it still scared me.

[joshuagraham]

I go into these videos wanting to learn stuff, then not understanding it, then understanding it, then completely forgetting it.

[bolosantosi]

Black hole: “Felt like keeping this information, might delete it later”

[brormannerbirkly]

Old men: “Outlive your enemies” black holes: “ok”

[merikmalhads]

If this is true, teleportation might be a heck of a lot easier because you would simply need to rewrite your position code rather then actually being required to travel or use a wormhole

[Sarubotai]

Me failing every answer on the exam: "I still have the right answer, its just that the atoms are rearranged differently"

[MrDudeTheth]

I love how they go from "The universe will be deleted" to "Let's put some socks, into baskets, into a room, and let's see what happens!"

[Ksiolijideb]

Imagine you just chilling and the universe gets deleted

[mosiacsoml]

"They might delete the universe itself." *Cue the happy intro music*

[brayzaroo]

I will never get over the fact that we named the most powerful cosmic entity a "Black Hole." It's like calling the greatest piece of art ever made a "Pretty Drawing."

[Framie]

This channel right here deserves more subs. The videos are so well put together and makes such complicated phenomenons some what easy to understand. And provides some interesting facts and information.

[yruhere]

These people have spent so much time researching you have to have respect for them keep up the work

[TuddecBMW]

Black hole after absorbing information:
felt cute, might delete later

[Cħris]

What people think happens when you fall into a black hole: you die
What actually happens: you teleport behind your daughters book shelf then get shot out of Saturn

[OrdinaryDude]

“Information can never be destroyed” sounds like a philosophical statement.

[thenextgen]

“Cosmic housekeeping”

My mom when the guests are about to arrive: *Its showtime.*
