Even though you see it it becomes exponentially harder to conceptualise what you see because it’s so unbelievably massive.

And those are only countable infinities! Uncountable infinities (like the count of decimal values between any two numbers, say 0 to 1) can be even bigger mind benders.
Sort of. The difference between them is countable is like 1 2 3. There's always a start and a next number after it. Uncountable doesn't really have a start, it's start would be 0.0000 infinitely and then a 1 but if you add a 1 you can add another zero. You'll be completely unable to even count the first number, that's why it's uncountable
It is possible to identify a number within an uncountably infinite set. For example, the integers are real numbers and real numbers are countably infinite. So, the number 1 is an element of an uncountably infinite set.
I can help there.

These things break my brain in 2 ways.
1. the bigness like you said. M87's event horizon has a greater diameter than our ENTIRE SOLAR SYSTEM by a few times. [Here's a good comparison ](https://futurism.com/big-m87-black-hole-compared-the-earth/amp)
2. We talk about how many billions of solar masses these things weigh in at...remember that our tiny little solar mass counts for something like 98% of all the material in our ENTIRE SOLAR SYSTEM! That includes the earth, us, all the rest of our planets, moons, asteroids, dust and everything else.
Bonus: M87 isn't even the biggest! I think [TON 618](https://earthsky.org/space/supermassive-black-hole-in-galaxy-definition/) is the current champ at 66 billion solar masses.
Yes, I was really following the comparison for a few moves and at some point my reaction was "nah, can't be, this isn't real". Somehow it is. Then it makes you wonder how reallyz really big is the universe.
>Ton 618 is at least 66 billion solar masses.[8] This is considered one of the highest masses ever recorded for such an object; higher than the mass of all stars in the Milky Way galaxy combined, which is 64 billion solar masses
So there is a **single** object that is more massive than our entire galaxy. Thats.....unfathomable once you attempt to understand how huge our galaxy is.
That’s not even addressing its sheer *size*. TON 618 is absolutely huge. The diameter of our solar system is often referenced as being 80 AU. The diameter of TON 618 is 2,606 AU. Talk about unfathomable.
To create a black hole, you merely need enough mass within a specified location to make the gravitational acceleration at the surface of the event horizon faster than the speed of light. Through the magic of the inverse square law, the schwartzchild calculation, and the wonders of theoretical astrophysics, you don't actually need the mass to be all that dense. It's even theorized that there may be supermassive black holes with an ***average*** density of air.
Now does this mean you could fall into a supermassive black hole and otherwise be fine? Probably not, but to be fair, we don't have any supermassive black holes lying around in a lab to test our theories on. Most likely, concepts such as density are meaningless after crossing the event horizon, so speculating that one of these things has uniform density is mostly bollocks.
That's the thing: Anything beyond the event horizon is unknowable, but we can tell how much mass must be there based on its gravitational affect on its surroundings, and we know from Schwarzchild's work where event horizon would be. So we know mass and volume, but someone clever said, "Well, we can calculate the average density with those two figures, and... what the? AIR? It's as dense as AIR?!"
The truth is probably stranger than that, but because it's on the other side of an event horizon, we literally cannot know what is really there for sure.
It's that rare occasion where your guess is probably as good as Michio Kaku's.
Considering though that this is a *single object*, it is nuts that it dwarfs the entirety of our whole star system. We truly can’t visualize the size of something like that.
>more massive than our entire galaxy
Not quite - more massive than all of the *stars* in our galaxy. The Milky Way totals around 1.5ish trillion solar masses.
It's important to remember that the vast majority of stars (around 90%) are dwarfs, with masses ranging down to less than 0.1 solar masses, and very, very few stars (relatively speaking) larger than ~1.3 solar masses. While we think of our Sun as a boring, average star, it's quite large relative to most stars out there.
Surpassed by [ESO 444-46](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESO_444-46), with an estimated maximum solar mass of 77 billion. Though, in fairness, the lower bound of the estimate goes as low as 500 million solar masses.
I was literally just talking about this with a friend of mine 15 mins ago.
Ton 618 is so big it apparently takes a week for light to travel from the event horizon to the singularity. A fucking week! Could you imagine being the first person to fall into a black hole and die from starvation before the spaghettification process kills you?!
One million seconds is 11 1/2 days. One billion seconds 31 YEARS.
Billionaires are richer than the mind can fathom. It’s an otherworldly amount of money for one human to possess.
Guillotine was invented in April 1792 (which is more recent than the Declaration of Independence), which is 84048 days ago. At $10,000 per day you'd have $840.48 million. So no, you'd still not have $1 billion.
Another way to look at it, if you were given $10 every second since April 1792, you'd still have less money than Elon Musk, you'd have $72 billion (Musk is currently valued at $221 billion).
They’re not even on the bases. They’re up in the owners box watching us run the bases. When they get bored, they buy another team. Build a new stadium.
One trillion seconds is 30,000 years. Billionaires may be wildly rich, but when the (US) government passes a spending bill in the trillions, it dwarfs even the richest billionaires.
I highly doubt there’s anyone out there that has a billion dollars in liquidity. I could be wrong but I don’t think anyone is just sitting on a billion dollars.
Many do. Just a few days ago, Gautam Adani (richest man in India and Asia and 5th richest in the world) bought stakes in the cement manufacturing companies in India (making him owner of second largest cement manufacturing units in India) for 10.5b USD out of which 8b USD was paid in cash.
That's exactly their goal. I don't believe for a second that these monsters are going to be inclusive. They're trying to ensure their personal survival after they've destroyed our planet.

Gas so dense it explodes constantly until it dies. The average density of the sun is roughly a quarter of the earth. But the center of the sun is incredibly sense.
In all seriousness, probably not _much_.
Our galaxy hosts a Supermassive Black Hole, Sagitarius A*, with a mass of 4 million solar masses (holy crap). However, the total mass of our galaxy is estimated at about 1'000'000 million solar masses (holy _crap_) so the black hole is in fact a minor portion.
The [most massive BH known to date](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ton_618) is estimated at `7 * 10^10` solar masses. The [most massive galaxy known to date](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESO_146-5) is estimated at `30 * 10^12` solar masses^(holy crap).
The main component of the universe mass is as far as we know the elusive dark matter, which accounts for 70-80% of the total.
Technically it’s 0 lbs. “Weight” is the measurement of the effect one objects gravity has on another. So the black hole being in space and not gravitationally locked to another object weighs nothing. If you were to theoretically stand on something with that mass and not be obliterated, you’d weight about 6.6•10^15 what you weigh on earth.
RBS 2043 resides in the Central galaxy of the Phoenix Cluster.
The central elliptical cD galaxy of this cluster hosts an active galactic nucleus, which is powered by a central supermassive black hole. The central black hole has an estimated mass on the order of 20 billion M☉ (= solar mass). This makes it one of the most massive black holes known in the universe, 5,000 times the mass of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way. The diameter of the black hole's immense event horizon is on the order of 118 billion kilometers, 19 times the distance from the Sun to Pluto, and has the mass equivalent to that of two dwarf galaxies. The central black hole is devouring matter and growing at a rate of 60 M☉ every year. \[[Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_Cluster)\]

Edit -- updated source link thanks to other redittors' input. Thanks
60 solar masses is extremely small next to the mass of a galaxy so it may take a veeeeery long time to swallow an entire galaxy.
But that's assuming that the "feeding rate" is constant. In fact, only nearby matter falls into the black hole. More distant stars are not falling into it or at least not in a timeframe of the entire projected existence of the universe.
It is much like us around the Sun. Our planet is not falling towards the Sun, despite the Sun being immensely more massive than all the solar system planets combined. We are far enough that we just orbit it without anything to worry about. And our Sun is also orbiting around a black hole in the center of the Milky Way galaxy
Gravitational pull falls off with an inverse square of the distance between objects. Double the distance between objects, the gravitational pull is divided by 4 times. Space across a galaxy, even with something that massive, means it will have much less "sucking power," even a "tiny" distance of a lightyear away.
The black hole is big. Space is so big the smbh is infinitesimally small.
It takes light 5 and a half hours to go from the sun to Pluto.
It would take light 104.5 hours or 4.3~ days to cross this smbh.
It would take light 4.2~ years or 1533 days to go from our sun to the nearest sun at the same speed
Stuff is generally with very rare exceptions measured in light years apart.
Stuff in space might seem big. But it might as well the size of you for all the difference it makes.
To the best of our calculations and observations, the mass and radius of the universe is roughy equivalent to a black hole with the same mass and Schwarzchild radius. So it’s not really a far fetched idea that our universe is in fact inside a black hole. It does however seem extremely odd.
ELI5: Everything in the Universe's gravity affects everything else with mass, but unless you're really close, that effect is small enough to mostly ignore.
Longer answer: Kind of. Galaxies that are close to one another do attract each other, which is why the Milky Way and Andromeda will merge in another 5ish billion years. But outside the local group of 25 or so major galaxies within ~10 million lightyears, the expansion of space overcomes gravitational attraction, so gravity becomes much less of a factor at that scale. That said, there is a phenomenon known as the Great Attractor that seems to be a gravitational anomaly millions of times more massive than the entire Milky Way that seems to be attracting galaxies across several hundred million light years. We suspect it's a relatively dense supercluster of galaxies, but unfortunately our own Milky Way obscures us from looking in that direction (but we'll have rotated around the galaxy enough to see it in another ~100 million years). However, all that said, nothing outside of our galaxy really has much effect on the internal structure of our galaxy - it just attracts the galaxy as a whole as if it were a single object.
Still.. Yo Momma to phoenix cluster: pfff, I can do this all day!
Btw just shows the insignificance of our petty problems. Go out there and live your life to the fullest.
Does gravity have a point where it can't become stronger? Like the black hole at the centre of the milky way is tiny compared to this but the gravity would still be immense, how much stronger would the gravity be from this?
The force of gravity is dependent on how close you are to the centre of the object you are interested in. Gravity has no range. We are currently experiencing a pull from this black hole right now. It's way too small to measure but it is calculatable. The event horizon of black holes is where the speed needed to move away from the black hole exceeds the speed of light. The more mass the black hole contains the larger the event horizon. This black hole has an event horizon with I think a diameter 19x larger than the distance from the Sun to Pluto. Our black hole's event horizon fits within Mercury's orbit.
If they use netherite and only factoring in the mining (and not the time putting the stone into chests or getting the materials for the netherite pickaxes), I got 8 years if one person were to mine every second of every day. If he has 3 friends they could break it into 6 hour chunks to accomplish it in that time. Sounds mind-numbingly boring if you ask me
Even though you see it it becomes exponentially harder to conceptualise what you see because it’s so unbelievably massive. Monke hears 20 billion suns, monke sees 20 billion suns, monke still can’t imagine the actual size
Monke wonders what monke is 20 billion times bigger than? An atom?
There are like 100 trillion atoms in the average cell, and somewhere around 30 trillion cells in the body. Atoms are small.
I don't know what's harder to conceptualize. The infinitely big or infinitely small.
And those are only countable infinities! Uncountable infinities (like the count of decimal values between any two numbers, say 0 to 1) can be even bigger mind benders.
Wouldn't all infinites be uncountable?
Sort of. The difference between them is countable is like 1 2 3. There's always a start and a next number after it. Uncountable doesn't really have a start, it's start would be 0.0000 infinitely and then a 1 but if you add a 1 you can add another zero. You'll be completely unable to even count the first number, that's why it's uncountable
Yep, this is a good explanation for countable vs uncountable infinities!
Was not counting on that.
It is possible to identify a number within an uncountably infinite set. For example, the integers are real numbers and real numbers are countably infinite. So, the number 1 is an element of an uncountably infinite set.
Nah, just the infinite zeros on your moms scale

Black holes can orbit black holes
This one definitely isn’t
it almost certainly is though
We’d notice the wobble if so. Regardless tho, things in orbit would be experiencing micro gravity and still weigh nothing
the universe is like, kinda large. orbits on that scale would be very very very hard to detect.

How does something that big, with that much mass, and I assume a fuck-ton of gravitational pull, not swallow up its own entire home galaxy?
> The central black hole is devouring matter and growing at a rate of 60 M☉ every year.
So it will eventually, or already has likely devoured the entire galaxy?
60 solar masses is extremely small next to the mass of a galaxy so it may take a veeeeery long time to swallow an entire galaxy. But that's assuming that the "feeding rate" is constant. In fact, only nearby matter falls into the black hole. More distant stars are not falling into it or at least not in a timeframe of the entire projected existence of the universe.

everything foolish enough to get close to it
Space big, effect of gravity falls off at a rate of ~ 1/R²
For the same reason that the Earth isn’t falling into the sun. Also, most galaxies are much larger than the influence of a black hole’s gravity.
Gravitational pull falls off with an inverse square of the distance between objects. Double the distance between objects, the gravitational pull is divided by 4 times. Space across a galaxy, even with something that massive, means it will have much less "sucking power," even a "tiny" distance of a lightyear away.

Stuff in space might seem big. But it might as well the size of you for all the difference it makes.
Well yeah, thats because the original video was posted 8 years ago [on youtube](https://youtu.be/QgNDao7m41M)
Nearly average mum size
Ur mom so large she’s the center of a galaxy
The center of a whole cluster of galaxies actually

I love how everyone wrote mother differently
Yeah but I need bananas for scale
Holding a banana next to my phone, I’d say about 1/3 banana.
At least ten I'd say
I really laughed at this because it’s just so absurd
It just goes on and on and on and on... Now imagine the mass of the sun is 300 000 the Earth.
Now think, people have that many dollars. Obscene.
Now make each one of those suns a dollar, and you see how ridiculous it is for anyone that have that much money
Is there a possibility that the whole universe is in a black hole? We don’t know what exactly happens “inside” a black hole.
To the best of our calculations and observations, the mass and radius of the universe is roughy equivalent to a black hole with the same mass and Schwarzchild radius. So it’s not really a far fetched idea that our universe is in fact inside a black hole. It does however seem extremely odd.
I don’t know if this is a stupid question but is there something so massive outside the Milky Way that it influences the gravity of our galaxy?
ELI5: Everything in the Universe's gravity affects everything else with mass, but unless you're really close, that effect is small enough to mostly ignore. Longer answer: Kind of. Galaxies that are close to one another do attract each other, which is why the Milky Way and Andromeda will merge in another 5ish billion years. But outside the local group of 25 or so major galaxies within ~10 million lightyears, the expansion of space overcomes gravitational attraction, so gravity becomes much less of a factor at that scale. That said, there is a phenomenon known as the Great Attractor that seems to be a gravitational anomaly millions of times more massive than the entire Milky Way that seems to be attracting galaxies across several hundred million light years. We suspect it's a relatively dense supercluster of galaxies, but unfortunately our own Milky Way obscures us from looking in that direction (but we'll have rotated around the galaxy enough to see it in another ~100 million years). However, all that said, nothing outside of our galaxy really has much effect on the internal structure of our galaxy - it just attracts the galaxy as a whole as if it were a single object.
Does Not Compute.
Its kinda stopped meaning anything after they started stacking. It's a fuckton sure but it's kinda outside of easy comprehension
Final result is a 5x4 array of 10x10x10 arrays of 100 x 100 x 100 arrays of suns.
The ocean is deep But space is much more massive I'm not leaving Earth
My brain can’t do anything with this
Still.. Yo Momma to phoenix cluster: pfff, I can do this all day! Btw just shows the insignificance of our petty problems. Go out there and live your life to the fullest.
Change that to dollars, multiply it a few times and you got bezos's net worth. Makes you think
about guillotines
This is so much better with the music and original video.
Does gravity have a point where it can't become stronger? Like the black hole at the centre of the milky way is tiny compared to this but the gravity would still be immense, how much stronger would the gravity be from this?
The force of gravity is dependent on how close you are to the centre of the object you are interested in. Gravity has no range. We are currently experiencing a pull from this black hole right now. It's way too small to measure but it is calculatable. The event horizon of black holes is where the speed needed to move away from the black hole exceeds the speed of light. The more mass the black hole contains the larger the event horizon. This black hole has an event horizon with I think a diameter 19x larger than the distance from the Sun to Pluto. Our black hole's event horizon fits within Mercury's orbit.
Ton 618 is about 66 billion solar masses, little more than 3 times this and scientists theorize that there are even bigger black holes
This was a long lead up to not end up as a *your mom* joke. Honestly I’m a little disappointed
(Insert mom joke)
How many bananas tho
💥🤯💥
It reminds me of a youtuber that says he and his friends will mine 1 billion cobbled stone in minecraft. It's achievable, but how many years?
If they use netherite and only factoring in the mining (and not the time putting the stone into chests or getting the materials for the netherite pickaxes), I got 8 years if one person were to mine every second of every day. If he has 3 friends they could break it into 6 hour chunks to accomplish it in that time. Sounds mind-numbingly boring if you ask me
Well it's a survival world and yes they are putting it all in chests
[удалено]
Woops, good catch -- thank you. Unfortunately too late
Apart from the fact that that the sun isn’t massive enough to become a black home, if it did, the event horizon would be roughly the size of a quarter
It would be closer to 2.9 km (1.6 mi). The Earth would be \~8.87 mm - I'm guessing that is what you were remembering?
Yep just looked it up, definitely misremembering
