Black holes are the most powerful and extreme things in the universe and they are wildly weird and complicated. What would happen if you fell inside one and what are they really?

    Ok, phew. So we are done explaining any properties of black holes forever. If we ever talk about black holes in future videos we'll always link to this video.

    Murderer in the year 4023 in Italy: "Sentenced to death by spaghettification".
  • falls into black hole and opens eyes “hey you, you’re finally awake”
  • @Clutchjigsaw
    As a kid I was both intrigued and terrified of space. Nothing's changed.
  • @FPJourney
    I love learning about black holes and the amazing phenomena they can produce. The idea of falling into a black hole is both terrifying and fascinating. It's incredible to think about the immense gravitational forces at play and the potential effects on an object or person. Keep up the awesome content!
  • "Black holes are even more screwed up than they get credit for." Same, honestly.
  • I genuinely feel grateful to these birds for their acts of extreme sacrifices, just so we can know more about the universe. They don't seem to hesitate even when the narrator mentions certainty of death. Respect.
  • A note that is weird: It is surprisingly hard to actually fall into a black hole. This is for much the same reason as it is surprisingly hard to fall into the sun. Namely, if you are in orbit around a black hole, you have to expend a huge amount of energy to slow down enough to reach the center(or let the accretion disk do this for you), and if you are not in orbit of the black hole (which is unlikely), your best bet to getting there is to go into orbit first and then slow down.
  • the line “black holes are the universe’s equivalent of diving by 0” is the best way to explain black holes in one sentence

    Kurzgesagt : "To survive longer, you must do nothing" me : doing exactly the same thing during my math exam.
  • Kurzgesagt: To survive the longest you must do nothing. Me: Proud to be a contributor to the cause of black hole safety.
  • @Neony435
    When I was a kid, I heard about black holes and my friends said they were dangerous because they could swallow our planet! With your explanations, I now have a better understanding of black holes!
  • @AnomNum
    I like how this video started out centered around the idea of falling into a black hole, and then halfway through, turned into a compendium of all information known about black holes in general.
  • @Torchingale
    The guy has one of those voices that should be turned into a voice assistant, soothing, clear, and precise.
  • @finzar
    I wanna take this time to thank the team at Kurzgesagt for existing, on behalf of the whole YouTube platform.
  • @user-rv7my5vu5s
    Please never stop makeing videos. Your videos make me think in ways I've never imaged and I thank you for that.
  • @NSingh22
    Your channel is great!! It really teaches me useful information, sometimes I just watch for fun!
  • @mkbhd
    My brain hurts. I love it.

    Universe: "what happened to my stuff?" Black hole: " Gone, reduced to a singularity"
  • @hafoola
    This is the part I love about your YouTube channel you make what if , bright side and your videos combined
