Just 3,000 light-years from Earth is a black hole visible to the naked eye. Thankfully, we are a safe distance from this stellar black hole and many others like it. There are approximately 100 million of them out there in our galaxy that we know of. They are the remnants of supernovae, which occur when stars 10 to 20 times larger than our Sun collapse in on themselves. Could a black hole devour us all one day? There are millions of them out there just waiting. And if we happened to make a black hole accidentally, well, you better fasten your seatbelts. Things are going to really suck! Quite literally. What would we see if we got pulled into a black hole? Could Earth orbit the Sun and a black hole? Would we survive spaghettification? What would happen if we get past the event horizon?

This channel teaches me more than my school
Props to the camera man risking his life for all these crazy shots ✊✊
This channel is the most professional, interesting and educational channel i’ve ever come across. Love your videos!
me: wanting to learn about black holes, also me: terrified of black holes
I love how cheerfully this guy talks about the earth being eaten by a black hole, and all of us dying, that's hilarious🙃
1. The end of everything. 2. no one would be alive to witness it
Makes you wonder if there are other civilizations out there that have had something catastrophic like this happen to their planet.
Ah yes, I do love learning of all the realistic ways humanity could go extinct
Your last words scared me the most....."may be we are inside a black hole already" 🤪🤪😬
I think for most of these what ifs, the alternative questions is "How many ways can humans go extinct?"
I like how they finish every Cool theory of theirs with *Now that's a story for another What If*
"Things are really going to suck. Literally" 🤣😂😂 Loved that.
Today Sir Michael Collins, who remained on orbit when Apollo 11 landed first humans on the Moon passed away. I told my grandmother who saw the landing and she started crying. She saw it. We bought our first TV to watch it. May he rest in peace. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un
Hint: Do not watch this when high or on shrooms. The paranoia & anxiety is real
My daily dose of knowledge
The fact our universe has shit happen that can mess with space time on such a scale is truly incredible.
"Maybe we're already in a black hole" Now event horizon is getting close😨
When a black hole will come near us, I'll make sure my old friend Luke Skywalker will use the Force to remove it from danger proximity
