0:00 so it's basically it's basically like germinate like sending out seeds to form new galaxies yeah yeah maybe you're right dude it's the ████ circle of life face you should stop you should see my black hole [Music] we're gonna get a little sci-fi something happened in space that has never happened before it was a scam yeah space is a huge scab space is a scam it's just one giant Nigerian prince so uh this thing happened basically um when black holes swallow Stars usually like it'll go and then like pieces of the star get spit out as like the thing gets stuck in so um for the

0:50 first time ever in 2018 that happened where they observed the star getting sucked into a black hole so you just see a bunch of light and like it just goes in right for three years nothing happened and then three years later they observed that same black hole spitting out remnants of that same star whoa and that's like the first time that's ever been observed or recorded or anything that's ████ time I don't know what it means there's no idea like what the ████ you know like they're really just reading data in waves but that's the first of its kind what's up black hole um go ahead Colleen that's a good question right I've seen Interstellar but black hole black holes really the the what is interesting thing because it's a theory right it's it's no one's ever been to a black hole no one can really tangibly like touch it but it's basically a reading that shows there's a point where all matter is being

1:42 compressed into such a pressurized point that nothing can escape it yeah even time he's only seen it by way of gravity right yeah okay Matthew McConaughey escapes a black hole basically they did say with Interstellar the depiction of a black hole and Interstellar was the best depiction of the theoretical black people I also saw so there's that DVD extra documentary I think in the 70s where they flew in just kidding Journey to the Center of the world or something they they flew into a black hole and then they went hyperspeed and they flew out at the other end yeah but you gotta go Hyper Speed though who did that it was documentary like in the 70s right I think it was called Journey to the Center of the I think that's Event Horizon no Adventures that movie yeah but yeah for the first time they didn't know that anything so normally nothing ever escapes the black hole Yeah except these stars but some movies it

2:32 goes to like another universe or something yeah because of the parallel thing yeah but we don't know or the Wormhole Concept in general right yeah nobody nobody knows what it'll do to organic like understanding if you like enter it but don't you just get dropped off into like a library where you can ████ do Morse code and ████ yeah yeah you go into the was it the Tesseract yeah the Tesseract yeah what's her name his daughter I don't know she got a dude names dude it's so good everyone keeps telling me how good it is me and bar are gonna watch it because he's obviously never seen it I've seen it a while ago wow no no I'm still thinking because I

3:23 learned about it I've never been so uninspired to continue conversation I think I think they said there was like uh the minute time freezes it starts like eight different timelines see now you just you were literally ████ down information once you go to the point where time stops there's the first timeline of you going there and stopping the second one is you going into the black hole and then there's a third one like it just because so many things happen once time actually stops so one is you're actually going back in time and it's like yeah it's like that's like when they say we invent time travel then like the world explodes there's no history there's no future there's no who said that Doc Brown because you don't know where people are from yeah it's like here then now never

4:13 you know or the world will explode because some ████ just blew it up in the past and he goes back all right because now it's all all the time everything right all at once everything everywhere all at once Michelle yeah I never seen that that looks oh you would love it that looks too no you would love it dude that's too smart though as someone that loves Interstellar you should see that movie right you've never seen her story yeah Interstellar feels like the dumbed down version of that no no it's not it's not but I hear it's a less colorful version yeah uh yeah everything ever all at once is a fun movie I just watched five minutes and they're just hanging out on a laundromat and I turned it off that's my peoples man yeah bro you got two Asians two Asian he's too Asian they're a bit of laundry and white girlfriend in the beginning yeah we're the same

5:04 so with what you know about black holes does that mean anything to you that they were able to see remnants of a star at eight three years ago pop out I am your expert I was trying to Rattle My Brain to see if I remembered anything else but how you come up with information I gotta answer this question is that why you were buffering for so long it's like a magic eight ball Real Player just stuck in college Years he's like ask again what I'm curious about though is is was that the like how many stars of that black hole eaten previously like maybe it was full and so I had to spit this one out or was it the first like star that's a black hole ate yeah or do we know it's the exact same Stars right yeah because it could have been like 500 year old star at eight well I mean that would be even more remarkable I think the

5:55 assumption that it's the same one from three years ago is the easier thing to assume but if you said it was from even older that's even bigger of a breakthrough or how how is the star coming out is it the release of gravity or is it the the initiation of gravity somewhere else pulling the Stars yeah that's a suspension of the black hole's gravity for that to make it happen yeah usually all they've seen so far is that while this star gets sucked in the action of it sucking in kind of Ricochet ████ all over the place that's usually it's instant they've never seen it a black hole not do anything and then just ████ just pops out that's enough whoa what if it was just a speck on their lens for a long time and that ████ go crazy yeah

6:45 because isn't that astronomy though astronomy looks at a 2D image and then they look it up and they go oh this planet has these these gases yeah like how do you know from a 2D image what it has yeah I was looking up some of the new pictures though those are crazy oh the oh from the telescope oh yeah we have like eight new pictures from some ████ Multiverse yeah but but the photo was taken like 16 years ago and finally yeah because of the light yeah yeah yeah something of that nature but they look crazy well those people that read those graphs yeah they get horny off those things oh yeah so when I uh so my last the expert is back look at Colleen's face lab class was studying uh like brain activity on mice and then they would have mice like ████ eat ████ ████ or do whatever and then so you're like studying the so they're attach these

7:36 little ████ the story gets crazier as we go yeah continue we're clearly not all scientists and you see all these graphs right of like marking where all the activity is you were getting horny no for me so they're saying like sideways scratches mean this or upward scratches mean this but then when my professor comes in she's like oh ████ that's crazy because then she'll notice like wow these rats are doing new ████ do you Professor sounds hot oh my God so it's like it's like reading the Matrix yeah the community I thought he was really gonna say some like crazy ████ and he was like oh she was rubbing her name

8:27 Bart Winton the Vivid University I let the brainwave I love the brain waves you're talking about was gonna show the horniness yeah that's but it was really just hurts my professor getting a horny over ████ brain waves I'm like who the ████ is this ████ the telescope the new telescope images all the astronomers go crazy yeah they got crazy and then they look and they go now we can tell what gas is I mean how how do you know from a 2D image and I think with black holes it's a total 2D image that they see yeah and it's all like they call them hypotheses I just call them assumptions whatever now they're assuming that it's the same star that they ate three years ago but then for it to do that it has to have a suspension of gravity like their gravity pull has did that means the black hole has the ability to like lessen its gravity yeah or trapping the light or whatever it may

9:17 be or we eat and then we ████ they call it they call it like a uh they call it like a Celestial burp it's like it's like the black hole is basically what looks like burping it's a little star so you're saying like one thing went inside three years later a couple smaller things came out like debris from the Star yeah so some of it escaped which is uh that's basically first because then that kind of goes against the the existing Theory and it's probably so ████ far away that whatever ████ burp they saw was from 30 years ago anyways which takes a long time though to travel to you yeah but we say it's a first how long have we've been even like looking at black holes 100 years I don't know what about the concept that like uh you know I'm thinking about ████ really really nice child ████ like The Lion King and Mufasa explaining the circle of life no it's definitely the past Kings

10:07 yeah but exactly but you know the idea of like eating an antelope and then or whatever the animal becomes the grass when it dies blah blah so there's like Circle of Life concept right right what if there's like ████ black holes are these giant Celestial beings that are like going out like eating old stars and ████ not new ones almost like planting seeds and then now that's the new Galaxy so they're germinating it's not yeah it's not just about like ████ out the old star it's about like consuming something that needs to end its life and then putting something else out it's beautiful that is beautiful so it's basically it's basically is like Germany like sending out seeds to form new galaxies yeah yeah maybe you're right dude it's the ████ circle of life if that's if it stop you should see my black hole black holes in general are just super infinitely interesting there's always some weird ████ with them there was I was reading some other things showing what happens

10:57 when two black holes meet have you seen that is that just a like a made-up thing right it sounds like the start of a joke no like they were able to observe like so when whenever you're observing a black hole you're really just looking at the effect around it and that's how you know it's there yeah but it's not one of those things that you just see a ████ hole like you don't really see it but then they're saying like when when two of them are within range from each other the the time in between is being Twisted you ever heard of that Holy we gotta study black hole like the energy between two magnets that are on the wrong sides there's something that's going on that's invisible and yet very very very real that's how they discovered black hole right that there was some sort of gravitational pull that was happening but there was no planet or stars for them for that cause yeah so that's how they I guess discovered it first and then they they started to do a little more research yeah so what it's pretty cool

11:47 that like to find something that you thought I'm sure finding any new info about a thing you've been looking at for maybe 100 years it's pretty cool yeah they should send like a satellite into a black hole with a with a GoPro on yeah how close are these things they gotta be hella far dude's never gonna get it back though it's gone yeah like our ████ satellites that we sent out like 30 years ago are finally passing by like Jupiter right now you know what I mean like it's it's gonna take a minute to get to a black hole but then it's also gone once it gets there right so they should they should put like you know the latest technology like all the newest go like GoPro 9 yeah some cell phones like 5G LT whatever and then like have it burst out all this info as soon as it gets in yeah with the ring light we gotta get a ring light a selfie stick have it like send out emit like whatever all the photos and do it as soon I think you should write a letter to NASA

12:37 explaining your idea yeah I think they might hire you so they'll understand I'll put on I'll twitch it throw the budget yeah don't give them a budget and then just tell them what they need to send out and then I'll make sure to earmark like 10 million just for us to talk about it oh yeah that first meeting is pretty pricey [Music] foreign
