NEW VIDEO: The Black Hole Bomb and Black Hole Civilizations
🕑 Added 2018-04-22 12:02:42 +0000 UTC This was a hard video to make. About a year ago I stumbled about this paper about black hole bombs: https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0404096 – I was immediately fascinated and tried to learn more. But I found nothing. No articles, no videos. So I talked to Matt, our "in house" Astrophysicist and discussed how we could make this a video. He ended up talking to a bunch of experts and even the original author of the paper. It took us months to write the script. And then again months to design the video in a way that our viewers might have a chance to understand it. This has one one of the most complicated topics ever and I'm really proud of the end result. Video like this one are a prime example of what we could not do without Patreon. Thank you so much for your support. -Philipp

But it seems like anything which reaches black holes will get disintegrated :/

This is what made me a patron: I overheard my 13 and 15-year-old daughters debating whether it would be possible to harness a black hole's energy for space travel. You make a mama proud.
I wonder what kind of tests we would do to a black hole if we could reach one

more awesomeness and mind-bending stuff. Keep it up, and Geçmış olsun!!
I watched it for the third time right now and I am still amazed! The big laser space robot is my wallpaper now :D

I loved this one so much! It's been a long time learned I learned something completely new about physics from a YouTube video. Thanks guys, you're awesome.

I had heard of this before in a book I read, but I never really understood what it meant by harvesting the energy through the penrose process. This is a great explanation!

I love the video and how you explain each of the complex topics to laymen (like me).

Great Video! Made me happy to think that we already have a plan Z for the heat death of the universe :)
