NEW VIDEO: The Black Hole Bomb and Black Hole Civilizations
Added 2018-04-22 12:02:42 +0000 UTCThis 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

2018-06-10 17:02:45 +0000 UTCThis 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.

2018-06-01 20:04:54 +0000 UTCI wonder what kind of tests we would do to a black hole if we could reach one

2018-04-25 08:11:26 +0000 UTCI watched it for the third time right now and I am still amazed! The big laser space robot is my wallpaper now :D
2018-04-24 17:54:48 +0000 UTCI 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.

2018-04-22 13:25:28 +0000 UTCI 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!
