The Largest Black Holes in the Universe (VERSION ONE)

Watch the REVIVED and EXPANDED version of this video on: http://youtu.be/xp-8HysWkxw Meet the new record-holder for largest black hole in the universe.. so far. How big can they get? What's the largest so far detected? Where does an 18 billion solar mass black hole hide? We've never seen them directly... yet we know they are there... Lurking within dense star clusters... Or wandering the dust lanes of the galaxy.... Where they prey on stars... Or swallow planets whole. Our Milky Way may harbor millions of these black holes... the ultra dense remnants of dead stars. But now, in the universe far beyond our galaxy, there's evidence of something even more ominous... A breed of black holes that have reached incomprehensible size and destructive power. It has taken a new era in astronomy to find them... High-tech instruments in space tuned to sense high-energy forms of light -- x-rays and gamma rays -- that are invisible to our eyes. New precision telescopes equipped with technologies that allow them to cancel out the blurring effects of the atmosphere... and see to the far reaches of the universe. Peering into distant galaxies, astronomers are now finding evidence that space and time can be shattered by eruptions so vast they boggle the mind. We are just beginning to understand the impact these outbursts have had on the universe around us. That understanding recently took a leap forward. A team operating at the Subaru Observatory atop Hawaii's Mauna Kea volcano looked out to one of the deepest reaches of the universe... And captured a beam of light that had taken nearly 13 billion years to reach us. It was a messenger from a time not long after the universe was born. They focused on an object known as a quasar... short for "quasi-stellar radio source." It offered a stunning surprise... A tiny region in its center is so bright that astronomers believe it's light is coming from a single object at least a billion times the mass of our sun... Inside this brilliant beacon, space suddenly turns dark... as it's literally swallowed by a giant black hole. As strange as they may seem, even huge black holes like these are thought to be products of the familiar universe of stars and gravity. They get their start in rare types of large stars... at least ten times the mass of our sun. These giants burn hot and fast... and die young. The star is a cosmic pressure-cooker. In its core, the crush of gravity produces such intense heat that atoms are stripped and rearranged. Lighter elements like hydrogen and helium fuse together to form heavier ones like calcium, oxygen, silicon, and finally iron. When enough iron accumulates in the core of the star, it begins to collapse under its own weight. That can send a shock wave racing outward... Literally blowing the star apart:... a supernova. At the moment the star dies, if enough matter falls into its core, it collapses to a point, forming a black hole. Intense gravitational forces surround that point with a dark sphere... the event horizon... beyond which nothing, not even light, can escape. That's how an average-size black hole forms. What about a monster the size of the Subaru quasar? Recent discoveries about the rapid rise of these giant black holes have led theorists to rethink their view of cosmic history.

how can scientist find its size
-
I like this guy more than the new guy
-
greate documentary
-
if u don't wanna go go space press the like button or say I
-
We shall build a galactic wall, and make the black holes pay for it.
-
one time one time I saw the black hole😒😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😵😵😵😵😵😵😵GG Son

Our interpretation of gravity, electric, and magnetic force has been wrong. We can not create real vacuum as far. That what we call vacuum because it does not have matter like gas, liquid or solid matter still has space. Space is not empty it has gravity, electric and magnetic property and maybe more. When wave of sounds move, it has to have something to move in or on, to spread to an other location . Sounds spread through matter. If matter does not exists we can not generate sound. Ocean waves spread by liquid. Electromagnetic waves spread by changing electric and magnetic properties of space and so does gravitational waves by changing gravity force of space. That means that gravitational force, electric and magnetic are property of space. Mass probably does not create gravity force only it focus this force as glass lens can focus light from electric bulb but it is obvious that in focus space of light is no bulb emitting light. Greater mass focus gravity force stronger according to Newton's law. This interpretation gives fictional constant speed of light in vacuum ( has no matter but has space ). The electric and magnetic properties of space create way that electromagnetic waves can move in our fictional vacuum. The thing is if our space have constant density it has constant speed. What happens if density of space change caused by mass that focus gravity force that i consider as space property not created by mass (mass works only as lens). That means that light in different density of space will move with different of speed as it does in different density of matter (glass or air ). If some how we create perfect vacuum that does not have anything including space, electromagnetic waves will not exist. We can not be sure if there are no different form of spaces that actually light can go faster like in different density of matter. In that case that matter works only as lens for gravitational force. That what we call black hole does not have to have mass but it can be focused gravity force of space. It could create illusion of super dense object in center of black hole when in true it can be empty space or passage to an other space. The same as light from electric bulb focused by glass lens to small space gives us illusion of electric bulb with much stronger light in focused space but there is no electric bulb. In that case astronaut who fell into black hole would move from one space to an other. It would be up to his protection if he stayed alive that fall because he would reappear in new space.

Fantastic!!!!
-
this guy talks like Captain Kirk
-
Giant Black Hoes
:P -
black holes not exist! 😊
-
my wife has a super massive black hole that keeps sucking me in
-
black hole is the creator and destroyer of life.

I would wanna go in a black hole because i hate myself
