Black holes can destroy everything – but can they be destroyed? What happens if we push physics to the absolute limits, maybe even break it and the universe in the process? Let’s create a tiny black hole, about the mass of our moon, in the Kurzgesagt Labs and try to rip it apart.

It's interesting to note that singularities don't break actual physics, more like they break the model we use at the moment to understand physics. This is important, because it means that singularities can and do make sense, the problem is we don't have the right model to understand them yet.

@drdca8263 - 2023-08-19

Couldn’t the answer instead be that within the event horizon, there is something other than a singularity? E.g. iirc one idea assuming string theory is that the interior of a black hole is like, a big jumble of the “strings” , which end up (I guess due to having so much energy) having size comparable to the size of the black hole, instead of being of a subatomic size?

As an astrophysicist, I'm extremely impressed with how Kurzgesagt was able to put this into understandable or simplified terms. Studying the capacity of black holes has always boggled my mind no matter the depths I go into the physics we have now.

@absalomdraconis - 2023-08-17

Honestly, I'm surprised they never threw in white holes, whether for the anti-blackhole (if a white hole isn't the anti-particle of a black hole, then nothing is), or as a comment on the "anything can come out" aspect of a naked singularity.

They even mentioned Hawking radiation, and that might be the real-world manifestation of a white hole, and still no mention of white holes.

@MewPurPur - 2023-08-17

White hole isn't an anti-black hole. Also they are sort of complete nonsense that can't exist in our Universe. But just for the fun of it, I'm also curious.

The concept of a naked singularity is just incredible to me. It's a concept reminiscent of cosmic horror stories, as it is something so unfathomably powerful, indescribable, inconceivable and incomprehensible that simple observation of it could potentially cause reality itself to break in ways we couldn't even begin to imagine. And yet, this is a scientific hypothesis, not a horror story. The idea of something like that potentially being possible sends shivers down my spine. While I'd honestly be shocked if naked singularities were actually physically possible in our universe, the concept has an appeal nothing else can really quite match.

The real horror comes from the concept of something and nothing and its far reaching implications. Either something came from nothing, which should be impossible. Or something always existed. Either way the full picture of reality is far beyond our current experience.

@Nibsipipsi - 2023-08-16

Sorry to be a buzzkill, but in this video they kinda forget what a singularity is to begin with: a kind of divide by zero error. It's just a hole in the mathematics we use to describe gravity. Singularities aren't physical. You can't have a naked singularity because they don't exist.

If we have a theory of quantum gravity, that might explain what would happen if we push a black hole past its breaking point (if there even is such a thing). There is no such thing as breaking reality however.

I feel like this video failed to cover two important notes about those singularities though: one being that infinite mass is impossible and its effects would have to wane at some distance, and second that it is not unlikely that it just forms a new event horizon around its tiny self immediately after the previous one dissipates

@lukasrafajpps - 2023-08-17

Just a quick note. Singularity as a point is only for static (non-rotating) black holes. If the blackhole rotates, its singularity has a shape of a ring (ringularity). Another interesting point is that a rotating black hole has two event horizons. The funny fact is that in between the horizons, you don't have to necessarily travel towards the singularity although you can't escape from there. You could live happily there for years but if you crossed the second horizon you have to reach the singularity.

@fries6402 - 2023-08-17

replying for visibility- very cool stuff

@baraapudding - 2023-08-17

a ringshaped singularity actually makes me wonder: what happens if you are in the exact centre of that "ringularity"?
Because, like Kurzgesagt also explained, the singularity would be your future. But if you are in the exact centre of this ring, every direction points toward the future.

@gordontaylor2815 - 2023-08-17

@GLUBSCHI - 2023-08-17

⁠@@baraapuddingas far as i understand, as long as you're past the event horizon every direction you can go will only ever lead you towards the singularity (which is the reason nothing can escape the event horizon). So i don't think it would matter if you were in the "hole" of a ringularity or somewhere else inside of the black hole.

Any mass can have an event horizon. It just gets smaller if your mass shrinks. However, there appears to be a lower limit that arises from quantum physics. Once that has been reached the black hole emits a photon whose energy corresponds to its remaining mass and it is gone. Sadly this is not very interesting, but that is probably the way all matter in the universe will ultimately go. At that time we will have reached the heat death of the universe.

well, probably not literal, it's just our theory breaks at that point so we replace the "??????" at the centre of a blackhole with the logical prediction of our theory, a singularity. but that means the theory is probably wrong, or more likely, incomplete

Yes, it's hard to fathom such a state. Even calling it a state is a misrepresentation. My mind struggles to grasp the singularity, but to no avail.

Because the event horizon is the thing decaying to hawking radiation, not the singularity.
This should mean, that most likely a naked singularity would be eternal.

We can't know this for sure, as no black hole will die within the lifetime of our civilization.

@buttersponge39 - 2023-08-16

​@@jb76489not a physicist but from what I know the Hawking Radiation is what happens when a particle and antiparticle are created out of nothing. Normally they cancel eachother out and nothing happens. But when one particle is inside the event horizon and the other isn't, one particle "exists and the black whole "pays" the energetic toll for forcing it to exist. This is a very simplified explanation so I recommend you look into Hawking Radiation for more info

Too bad they're grossly inaccurate on this video. There's no such thing as a singularity in real life, that simply means the mathematics has broken down and is no longer valid.

The most chilling creatures in Lovecrafts work are these incredibly powerful and haughty extraterrestrials who as they say care less about humanity than the dirt under our shoes. But the horror fades at some point you notice two things:
1. They prefer to take privileged white young men with money and from good families to drive them crazy.
2. For the fact that they despise humanity so incredibly, they hang around with us very often and for a very long time.

There was a PBS Space Time video where Matt explained how black holes might not be able to fully evaporate. Something about Planck scale shenanigans suggests a (really small) lower size limit, making them a possible candidate for dark matter.

@gordontaylor2815 - 2023-08-17

Knowing what we know about quantum physics suggests that "true" singularities (i.e. matter compressed to a mathematical point of infinite density) can't really exist - any "real life" singularity SHOULD have a finite (if really small) size and finite (if really high) density just from the uncertainty principle. The problem is we can't do any better than this because we don't have the necessary theories of quantum gravity to explain what happens during the black hole collapse yet. (And that doesn't even get into the "fuzzball" possibility from string theory...)
