The super massive black hole has enough gravity to keep the stars in orbit around it, similiar to how the sun has enough mass to bend space time/gravity so that we orbit it. The more stars that orbit and are consumed, make the black hole larger and attract even more stars and smaller galaxies. There’s also many black holes in the galaxy that are much smaller than the super massive ones at the center of our galaxy

Seems so logical. . . Through a black hole is a new universe. I'm also intrigued by the idea of Everything being cyclical. Space returns to a primordial state, until a new big bang happens and we begin again. I have doubts about the existence of WIMPs. Here's a weird theory: that "dark matter" actually IS other universes, or more like other planes of reality existing concurrently with the one we occupy. We are starting to be able to detect but have yet to fully unlock capabilities to interact with them.

I haven't read up a lot on this recently, but I do believe one theory postulates that the black holes would eventually combine together at the heat death of the universe, and ultimately reform the singularity that was the Big Bang, essentially resetting the universe upon its end.

The problem with the Big Crunch is that more recent readings have suggested the expansion of the universe is increasing, not decreasing.

In other words, they're pretty sure the Big Crunch is not going to happen.

One thing that fascinates me is how people still talk about black holes in terms of gravity being an attractive force, while, according to Relativity, mass warps space, so a black hole is an area where mass has warped space to the extent that it's created basically a sinkhole - a closed circle, where things can be added around it, like a pearl growing layer by layer, but nothing can escape because 'out' is not a direction that exists any longer. I only know enough about physics to sort of have a vague hint at the general outlines, but it's still an interesting concept that does alter how one sees parts of the discussion.

The poetic narration at the last few seconds was just beautiful.

Surprised you didn't give a nod to the other crazy black hole theories out there, the maddest one I heard recently was we are all living inside black holes and its black holes all the way down, that an entire perception of our reality is contained within the shell of a black hole. That just hurts my grey matter on so many levels as it tries to work out the extent of infinity and what that actually means.

Funny thing is we already know the answer, we have stumbled across it over the decades but didnt see the importance yet. We will and very soon; certainly in our lifetime. The james webb telescope, the L erray and the hadron collider (the center of the collider to be more precise) are all i need to prove my calculations correct, at the moment its just theorytical quantum physics on paper. Ive heard the backlash the internet provides. Alot of people yelling no without disproving anything and a scatter few who understand on some level. No big deal, im sure i can just stroll into these secure facilities and say hi lol. If im correct time will tell. James webb dont let me down lol.

There is a typo at 12:25 on the title slide for Primordial Black Holes (it's spelled "Primordiar")

That last part at the end of this video sounds like the big bang. One Universes end may be another's beginning.

15:24-15:47 all I can think about is the time travel episode of futurama where theres a second big bang.

Okay yeah this is solid confirmation that Simon is One of Us because only an actual star trek nerd would KNOW something as specific as the Romulans using a quantum singularity (artificial black hole) as the power source for their space flight

The problem is, we don't have a mathematical description of what happens, inside a black hole, to anything entering into it, or even what are the forces or the fields operating inside it. This includes the structure of Space and the passage of time. Zero. The General Theory of Relativity declares itself inoperative at that level of energy. Therefore any hypothesis, no matter how wild, can't be excluded nor confirmed. A black hole is, for the time being, a lapse of Science...

How many Channels is Simon Whistler on??? I mean I’m not complaining,he’s one of my favorite, just no idea how he has the time to get out there so much!

I swear I see this guy on almost every channel that explores mysteries and interesting phenomena.

Since i heard about the big bang, a huge universal explosion from a infinately small spec, i started to think about black holes as a universal decay and renewal of the resources the universe holdes

I agree. It’s like 1 earth day is (very close to) 24 hours, an hour is 60 minutes, a minute is 60 seconds, and so on. We made these units to fit our day.

I always sort of thought of them as the universes recycling center. Sucking everything in, breaking it down to it's base components then expelling it back in space (on the other side) to start the process of building the universe all over again.

Im imagining the black holes gravitate to eachother and cause another big bang

Using a bit of the old ‘just for men’ on that beard are we Simon 😂

interesting is roger penrose theory about what happens after your last sentence. because there is only energy left (photons) time and space will no longer exist at that point (cuz photons have no mass and travel at the speed of light), thus recreating the big bang (cuz if the size doesnt matter anymore cuz space doesnt exist everything is a tiny point again with all the energy that was left in the big universe). its called the cyclical universe.

"black holes have hairs" then the add. Perfect segue for a Keeps add.

It's the abundance of matter, that causes the displacement of the fabric of space, that causes a black hole. While this abundance of the fabric of space, being displaced, causees the intense gravity

I am listening to Simons voice while doing a nap...He wakes me up with "because black holes have Hair" and know I NEED to rewatch this ans taking notes O.o

in one of your other videos on a similar topic, you pondered a couple of things. the empty void and why we seem to be getting closer to the stars in our galaxy, yet further from the other galaxies (mostly)... purely layman conjecture here, but, if the big bang, cosmically speaking has 'just happened' then there would be a hole in the explosion, at the point where it began... also, this video is on the subject that could answer the second part... the supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy is pulling everything around it inwards, even if slowly, yet it, and most other galaxy cores are still being thrown by the force of the explosion that began it all, so they're all moving slowly apart. on a cosmic scale, it has been milliseconds since detonation.

To put that time figure for the black hole era into a LITTLE more perspective: Take a grain of sand and remove every single atom, one at a time, every single second. Do that with every grain of sand on earth. Now do it with every rock, tree, flower, bug, building... everything on the planet. Reduce the entire thing to atoms, one at a time, every second. Now do it to every single object in our solar system, including the sun. Atom by atom, second by second. When you are finished, roughly 10^75 years will have passed. Which is 0.00000001% the duration of the Black Hole Era.
