A black hole is a region in space where the force of gravity is so strong, not even light can escape. What intrigues the most about these mysterious objects in our universe?

Wish I could live long enough to see human kind progress into space travelling and find out which secrets our universe holds, which new materials we could find, finding life on a planet, new types of energy, new dimensions and black holes.

The Scariest part of our universe.

All the greed and power of people on earth will vanish in just 1 black hole. Life is short guys Be kind always

Incredible to think we're just a tiny microscopic part of this gigantic universe.

One of the most beautiful yet immensely frightening things in our universe

I am fascinated by this "universe subject" but I don't think I'm smart enough to study/understand it.

that’s the scariest and fascinating thing i’ve ever seen, the most interesting question for me is, where do all the materials go when they are being sucked into the hole, and is there something that can escape from this enormous power

I love National Geography channel so much because it's a informative Chanel. Many many Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩

This reminded me of how small we are in this galaxy amongst others

Every black hole documentary: "Nothing, not even light, can escape"

the scariest part even if u get into it and get the information you’ll never be able to tell the information

I just love science when it talks about universe❤️

Background music is also absorbed by the black holes.

In my childhood, I used to get a very strange, terrifying dream, after which I was scared to go back to sleep, fearing the nightmare would return. The dream was like this. Darkness has no mass, as far as we know. But imagine all that darkness condensing, shrinking into a dense mass of body, like a ball, like dough. I no longer have that dream. But when I later read about the blackhole, I could understand the concept very well.

This is extremely helpful! This is truly the most I had ever understood about black holes (other than the report I got back from my doctor regarding these pesky hemorrhoids) 🙂

This is one of the reasons why i want to study astronomy and astrophysics in University, because I think it's both beautiful and interesting

2015: Sent humans to mars 2050: sent humans to black hole

the passion you put into your videos is palpable, it’s inspiring! ❤️

These short " universe related " videos are absolutely phenomenal.

what if a black hole is a portal to an alternate universe

Born to late to explore the earth born to early to explore the universe

The feeling of the black hole is probably actually the same feeling We have when we are effortlessly being ourselves. In our point of view the black hole is a powerful gravitational pull. But from a black holes point of view it’s just a natural, effortless feeling.

The fact that these objects exist is so mind blowing to me. Like we barely just now have the science to explain, or attemot to explain, how these absurdly extreme phenomena happen. But they still just happen, whether we understand them or not, they still exist out there.

It's amazing how something so infinitely small is harder to picture that something infinitely big.

The existence of these extreme objects are so inspiring

Knowing that even light can't escape a black hole made it seem scary to me. But understanding how they form made me curious to study them more.10504

Whats scarier Knowing we’re not alone in our universe Or knowing theirs no other life in the universe

After watching past 0:37, the video reminded me of how little we actually know about the universe

Somehow, it makes me want to fall into it.

Why I haven't teachers like u in my school? Thanks Mam U explained very well

hello My name is Indriyani, I go to school at SMK BAKTI NUSA Bogor Indonesia and I am in grade 11, after I saw the video above, I can see what is happening At the center of our galaxy, how a rotating supermassive black hole is pictured. I also learned about types of black holes, such as how they look like, and how scientists find these invisible but extraordinary objects in our universe. Very interesting video and fantastic knowledge that is very useful. I hope that many students see the video as a learning medium. Thank you.

One of the rare times when a lack of music actually adds to the experience. Nice touch!

2:03 LMAO EINSTEIN CHIEFING ON THAT GOOD HERB IM DEAD

I like to think that when you fall into a black hole, realty itself unravels. pretty trippy stuff!

Thank you ❤

The world could be ending as we know it and this presenters voice will keep me calm

today ted-ed also uploaded the video on the exact same subject, is there something we should be prepared for?

Seeing the shaking of space and the photon around the empty black hole makes me feel like we are just water

Already in 8.5 billion years till a black hole comes I would be in heaven

If light can’t escape black holes, then why do quasars happen. “Nailed it”

Can black holes like... eat themselves? and can if humans invented anything faster than light, could it escape from a black hole? What happens inside a black hole?

Thanks. I had a space quiz and this helped me.

Every video on black hole: even light can't escape

can we just have a moment of silence for the cameraman that went into the black hole

Most overrated black hole phrase "NOT EVEN LIGHT CAN ESCAPE"

After watching this video I can conclude that we literally know nothing about back holes. Everything stated in this video are simply theories.

Props to the cameraman for filming this and staying calm around that massive thing

Human beings are a universe of atoms and an atom in the universe 😊 I read it somewhere.

This video explains it better for me... it's so hard to be a visual learner most especially if it's about astronomy. Thank you =)

I Wish humans had the Tech to travel to different galaxies and not be bound to earth like we are now.

영상이 유익하고 궁금증을 해결해주는 좋은 영상이였습니다.

Let's travel through a black hole. Anyone's gonna sign up for the trip next week?

These “101” vids are fantastic!

Black holes are the most fascinating things in the universe.

یا اللہ تیری قدرتاں ماشاءاللہ

Please Nat Geo, will you make the next video about dimensions?? Please vote if anybody wants to watch too.

Nice vid! Love these kinds of videos, keep it up!

Q: In the early universe there were larger stars, that lived shorter, and could form supernova’s that created black holes?

Finally a video without music or any track at back

University EX

I was scrolling through my feed fast and I thought I saw an eye lmao

Can you please make an video on solar and luner eclipse? I want to just know more about these beautiful phenomena

Can we just appreciate cameraman went inside of a black hole just for our entertainment

So these are basically Zip files of our Universe.

And now , the picture of one has been taken! milestone!

These are the holes that maintains the equilibrium and stability of our galaxy system

Things like this is humbling, we are literally nothing. We can all just seize to exist in a matter of seconds

My favourite subject : The black hole

Thank you NG for these very informative brief snippets. This is like a multivitamin tablet all the goodies the body needs in a small tablet. 👏👍👌🙏💐🙏

Black holes throw the planets in past with their speed and the planet turn back in space and it's a continuous process

Bearing in mind "gravity’s relative weakness simply by using an ordinary bar magnet to pick up paper clips from a desk. Battling the gravitational pull of all of Earth, the tiny magnet wins! In fact, gravity is a staggering 10 40 times weaker than electromagnetism". I have often wondered if you had 2 black holes made purely of electrons (so both as negatively charged as possible), would it ever be possible for them to merge or would the repulsive forces be far stronger than the gravitational forces? As a follow on to this question, if you had a highly charged super-massive black hole and your space ship crossed the event horizon could you leave the black hole simply by generating a strong enough repulsive force (the same magnetic charge as the black hole) because after all magnetism is so much stronger than gravity?

Our imagination is like a black hole, we didn't know where it is but all the possible actions are done

Question: How do quasars escape from the center of a black hole?

I'm surprised that National Geographic decided not to bother looking up how to pronounce “Schwarzschild” at 2:14

I really think they’re going to figure it out hopefully in my lifetime

I was reading a book about black holes and it said if humans entered a black hole they would be stretched out like spaghetti and then incinerated in a wall of fire. Isn't that amazing!?🙃

Pierre-Simon marquis de Laplace is the first mathematician to postulate the existence of black holes and the notion of gravitational collapse. The first modern solution of general relativity that would characterize a black hole was found by Karl Schwarzschild in 1916. Fred Lo was close enough to announcing that the Milky Way contained a black hole in 1971.

Anyone know of any videos that explains the process of determining what black holes do? For example, how was the conclusion arrived at about the speed at which objects travel through the black hole?

So, you’re saying the back holes are the universe garbage disposals?

Lifes amazing question: What if two black holes married?

Cool the graphics are really descriptive and most of the content has been the same since my childhood

The missing of background "epic music" in this video makes it even more scary, and realises me that there won't be any music in the black hole either, just endless loneliness, darkness and speghettification at the end.

If they exist Blackholes may bend and compress light as it Len's around the hole but not consume it! I think we may be wrong on how we see blackholes and light, I think gravity is strong in these areas but not so strong to consume light itself it just has more of an optical lensing effect which is difficult to detect so gives an illusion of light being swallowed when it's just more flexing and passing around the object hole at high speeds, gravity may move it slightly quicker but not consume it. Whatever it is a core of a dead sun or something else we don't know of it produces a gravity well strong enough to distort light, now I don't think gravity can move light faster than the constant allows so that leaves me to believe that the light would just compress and pass around the object but create distortion in the area the gravity has an effect over. Light is typically cast on it from other sources so it will effect the light based on distance and direction from those sources, you would have to determine how far away any light source would be from the centre of a blackhole and how that light interacts with it which could be difficult considering how many light sources would reflect on it, the whole universe that we know of.

These videos need to be longer. So interesting!

That's the second best black hole I have ever seen. My girlfriend's one is still on top

If a black hole caught you, that would be the worst thing to happen to you. Black holes absorb time. So if you got caught in one you would stay there for an eternity, staying freezed.

The black hole is a star and it is also a path to a alternate universe of angels who travel through it in a day which in our time is 50,000 years. There are so much mysteries in our universe that human mind can never comprehend.

Going through a black hole without dying is the the closest anyone can get to Time Travel

Don't mass shame black holes... size is relative, after all.

Rewatched this and reminded me how scary it was

The music at the end though

It even absorbed the music from the video.

National Geographic:Not even light can escape The Flash:Am i a joke to you? Edit:wow 4 likes!

These videos are too short. I want more

These black holes are one of the most mystyrious object in our universe

Sun:you can never defeat me Earth:I can’t but he can Black hole

Black holes make even light feel heavy.

In, through, and beyond!

Black holes sound like some mega super villain.
