In my Montessori school I learned a bit of the theory of relativity and got super hooked on black hole information. Maybe it was a bit over my head but it totally got me interested in space for life. Never underestimate how smart kids can be and what kinds of stuff they'll latch on to.
@DanielVerberne
I'd add a question mark to the answer that everything falling into a black hole becomes more black hole. As a layperson I'm aware that information is supposed to be conserved rather than fully destroyed, even in a black hole and that in principle; infalling stuff should be recoverable and reconstitutable (in principle) at some point in the far future.

YAY nature background again!!

The whole theory of the expanding universe is based on The speed of light being constant, which we can’t prove because we don’t even know what the one-way speed of light and this idea that the speed of light is constant forever which totally defies everything we know about quantum physics and physics in short, the theory of the expanding universe is based on Unprovable theory of light, but you would have to think above the eighth grade level to realize that

Scavenger’s Reign was so great. Can’t wait for a second season.
@severeon
Fun fact, a black hole with a diameter of 1 Planck length would have a mass a bit above 0.00001g It would go kaboom instantly tho.

Somebody in the universe knows the answers. Let’s talk to our alien visitors.

Fraser - re the black hole mass of the solar system question. I thought the answer would be if all the mass was ADDED to the sun, would it be a black hole. That is of course no, as the sun is 99.86% of the solar system mass, so,adding the remaining 0.14% is negligible.
@ioresult
I love every part of you answering questions. What a coincidence!
@MelindaGreen
Not all questions are answerable, because lots of questions are based on false assumptions and don't really make sense. For example some people claim there is a profound question of what it feels like to be conscious, but the subjective and objective realms are non-overlapping magisteria.
@endlessrage4062
When one is younger, one feels that you may know almost everything. That maybe the case for knowledge, but knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, but wisdom is knowing not the put it in a fruit salad….. wisdom only comes with age and is always evolving until we pass on…
@Dan-Simms
Scavengers Reign was so good, highly recommend as well.

13:50 I think this is a super fun question.
@TheTamriel
Matter that passes the event horizon adds to the mass of the black hole.

I hope you guys are enjoying your summer break.

"A get out of jail card"...😄😄 Although I love learning and even though a whole lot of the time I may just be listening, trying to even grasp so many ideas I have not yet grasped... I thank you for loving to answer questions. Thank you!
@austinp8942
I know that black holes usually shred matter into smaller particles as it is crossing the even horizon because of spaghettification. BUT does it regather and form heavy elements at the center of the black hole? Like after it’s ripped apart from the black hole when it gets to the center would it just form heavier and heavier elements or is the gravitational force too strong to form anything or is it the opposite. I’m just a dumb person that probably worded that poorly and hopefully someone can help me understand.

Could the impact that created the Moon and the continued existence of the Moon be the reason we have plate tectonics and Venus doesn't?
