Summary of Black Holes Explained | They are not what you think they are! | Dhruv Rathee

00:00:00 - 00:15:00

Dhruv Rathee explains that black holes are not what people think they are. They are actually just a place where light orbits around a very strong gravitational force. Once someone falls into a black hole, they will die within milliseconds due to the immense gravitational force. However, there is no need to be scared of black holes because they are only destructive in the sense that they will disintegrate any matter that falls into them.

• 00:00:00 In the film Interstellar, a black hole is depicted as a region in space where the force of gravity is so strong not even light can escape. Black holes remain largely unknown until the 20th century, and when Einstein developed General Theory of Relativity, the concept of black holes was merely theoretical.
• 00:05:00 Black holes are the result of stars collapsing due to their own gravity. They are not what you think they are, as they are not actually holes in space, but masses of material condensed to a small size. Black holes have a maximum mass that a star can reach before it can no longer be stable and will turn into either a neutron star or black hole.

• 00:10:00 Black holes are objects that have a very high gravitational pull, which attracts surrounding objects, including gas and dust. The black hole's surface is surrounded by a visible disk of matter that is heated to high temperatures. Black holes are classified based on their size and the type of gravitational force they produce. Black holes of a certain size are believed to exist in every galaxy, while supermassive black holes are believed to exist at the centers of galaxies. There may be a fourth type of black hole, intermediate in size, between Stellar and Supermassive.
• 00:15:00 In this video, Dhruv Rathee explains that black holes are not what people think they are. They are actually just a place where light orbits around a very strong gravitational force. Once someone falls into a black hole, they will die within milliseconds due to the immense gravitational force. However, there is no need to be scared of black holes because they are only destructive in the sense that they will disintegrate any matter that falls into them. Black holes are found at the center of galaxies and are similar to the way planets orbit around the sun.
