As a bonus to the previous video (watch it here for more details: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/atiEqZyo29zFpGw.html), I wanted to share with you this immersive 360° experience. WARNING: This video shows the fall from a certain distance (~15 times the black hole's radius) all the way down to the singularity. If it looks like we never enter the black hole, this is because of the phenomenon of light aberration, which is explained in the previous video (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/atiEqZyo29zFpGw.html?t=643 at 10:43). The idea that we would see the sky as a small circle above us is wrong, it is a common misconception that forgets to take into account aberration (basically this mistake comes from calculating angles in the abstract coordinate system instead of doing them in the observer's frame of reference) The images are based on simulations in Python/C++ and enhanced with volumetrics in Blender, and the music (which you can find here : soundcloud.com/aroussel) is composed in Cubase. The fall is almost in real time for a 100k solar masses black hole. The last few seconds are slowed down to see how the black hole's image grows more clearly. It would otherwise take only a few milliseconds.

"falling into a realistic black hole" >looks down >copyright watermark floating in space immune to the black hole

Feels terrifying falling into an abyss even from my phone.

It's pretty terrifying once you get so close to the black hole. That feeling of isolation, lost, and fear. Damn.. quite unfortunate that we may never know what they really hold inside.

Even on a computer this is terrifying, I'm gonna try it on vr later

I was like "Hey, there is still a star in that black hole, how can that be?" I then realized my monitor has a dead pixel.

Thank you to the camera man for sacrificing himself for this wonderful video!

I absolutely love astronomy, so this was such a nice experience to see and hear the visuals, would love more like this diving into planets

The music really just adds on to the experience

Woah. The feeling of dread as the stars begin to stretch and the light around you seemingly fades out of existence is an awesome experience.

Now imagine this except you’re being spun around at up to 80% of the speed of light, literally being atomized from the friction. But that’s not nearly as cool looking. Great work!

It’s interesting seeing how much faster it goes the second time around… Also seeing how the light and everything behind you seems to just disappear at the end 🧐

I fell asleep in the dark watching KZfaq TV on autoplay and just woke up to this sight. Holy shit.

The music and visuals together... holy frick, great job on this one!

Thanks. That was terrifying. Was really looking forward to the inversion on the other side of the event horizon. Good to know that at the center of every black hole is a credits screen.

These 2 minutes felt longer and scarier than a 2 hour horror movie. Who knew casually going into a black hole with calm music for 2mins could make me doubt my existence. But Imagine that, you fall into a black hole and credits roll, like you just completed the game of the universe and you see the name of the vfx artist XD

woah this was much scarier than I thought, being able to frantically move around seeking any visible light..... not like watching a movie at all

I could feel fear in my stomach with every second of getting closer to the event horizon.

I have never seen such extraordinary simulation - honestly I was amazed and scared at the same time. I will drop by to this black hole many more times - hats off!

Can we just appreciate cameraman for surviving a black hole and upload a video

That was INCREDIBLE!!! I especially loved where you can turn your POV to the side, so you can watch yourself being pulled in. Amazing!!!

I'm a physicist, and previously did numerical relativity simulations at the gravitational astrophysics department at NASA Goddard. I just want to say thank you for the public service you've done with this video, and the care you've taken to capture the essential physics. After a few seconds of watching, I smiled and thought "this guy knows his stuff". The VR in particular makes this both science education and a work of art, like a digital monument.

This is amazing. I actually felt increasingly anxious towards the end of the video. Now I'm seeing it takes a bit more time to recover from that. I need an unicorn chaser.

It felt so calm floating at the edge observing the 360 experience. When getting close I thought it was going to make low noises like that of an opening and closing of a heavy giant door. More over when falling my expectations were that the camera view would be interrupted by crushing sounds signaling that due to the gravity I would begin being crushed into a dense object like state. Nevertheless it's a great video and experience!

The music really set the mood for me. The anxiety, despair, and feeling of doom would have consumed me, if this moment was real.

i genuinely felt so much fear. i hate black holes yet i love them, they are absolutely one of my fears, but i am just so fascinated by them that i can't help but to like them at the same time it drives me INSANE

Lol love how you start to fall from beautiful streams of blue light and then when it reaches 1:31 the black hole is like “ *it’s just you and me now* “

This is f-ing awesome.

The crazy part is from someone else’s perspective you’d be stuck outside of it

Black holes are simultaneously one of the most amazing and utterly terrifying things in our known universe. Nothing compares to the indescribable combination of wonder and sheer existential dread I feel at the thought of "falling" into a black hole like this, even through a flat screen. I have been studying black holes since I was about 6 years old, and they have mesmerized and horrified me ever since.

That was incredible. Wow. 😳 When the Black Hole almost filled my screen I felt like I couldn't breathe. All I could think of is to look at the event horizon in hope of holding onto any string of light left. Horrifying experience and I love it!! ❤️

The music is absolutely perfect for this.

Thank *me* for experiencing this crazy situation and getting it on cam, truly one of the moments of all time.

This was scary as hell, and I was watching from the monitor. Couldn't even imagine what it would feel like to watch it in VR.

1:25 The amount of anxiety, goosebumps, fear, confusion, I-want-my-mommy, and I'm f*k is just off the charts💀

Fun fact: in theory you should just spin around it without being inglobed, but, if you are unlucky, you should now be able to see the event horizon's limit because you are literally travelling in time and then, lastly, you should see all this blue stuff colored as red.

A beautiful and terrifying coalescence of art and reality

"A visual and *sound* experience based on true general relativity calculations" yes please, I want to hear this beauty for eternity *_jumps right in_*

love the effort and detail put into this video great work!

Did watch in bed before sleep. I rarely slept so well! Also I could feel the immense gravity when the phone fell on my head. Amazing job!

This is genuinely, absolutely terrifying. But i am amazed wow!

Oh great, I now can experience one of my deep dark fears in 4k VR 360º! Thank you, awesome video!

Literally one of my waking nightmares. Thanks for this.

Despite the shit that might happen to your body, I honestly would not mind falling into one. It just seems so intriguing and produces an eerily calm feeling to me.

I freakin' love this channel more with every new shit they release

I love that space has random text floating about. Hope to see it in person one day

that moment when you look in to that darkness only to discover yourself staring at the scream and not realising what the heck is happening anymore

I have no idea why, but I found this oddly calming.

This is more than a bonus: this is truly an awesome experience.

This is too beautiful!! Even light couldn't pass through

going into the black hole and looking back at space - simply amazing 🤩

This would be fun as hell on shrooms! Jokes aside, I would assume you would be shredded by all the fast moving particles.

would actually be so scary to see a black circle in front of you that big

This is one of the best black hole simulations I’ve seen, love looking at this fascinating phenomenon

This is honestly fascinating and terrifying - like, can y'all imagine what it would be like, to end up in the black hole in reality, as you continue to watch the video on your phone or device? I automatically have that thought when I watch these videos...

VR Meta 2 + edibles + real black hole audio = terrifying but awesome experience!

I like to think the music is also cientifically accurate.

Cameraman survived, that means we can all do it🔥🙌🏾🔥

that instilled more fear and panic in me than I expected. it became quite overwhelming when the black hole started to take over the whole screen.

Man cities all over the world need to have this in science and/or art galleries this is amazing

Eureka! Now we finally know whats on the other side of a black hole: "Simulation | VFX | Music Alessandro Roussel" Truly Amazing!

I'd expect your camera to stop working way earlier. God knows how you recovered the footage!

I'm so greatful for being able to see this from the comfort of my own home. Thank you

The cameraman is always invincible and returns to show us every traumatizing deadly experiences...

I found the copyright thing 😄 Its amazing the visualization of the Doppler effect is amazing

I love how this is very scientifically accurate

This is ligit scary and incredible at the same time

Shout out to the cameraman who uploaded this from inside the black hole

Well, that gave me chills.

Effin terrifying. It would be the inevitability of it… the inescapability. Heck of a way to go though.

As soon as the video started, I thought, wow, that camera man sure is wobbly. Not realizing it’s me that’s the camera man.

I heard someone stating that cameraman "sacrificed" himself. Cameraman is immortal and invincible. All-Powerful and Omnipresent. He can't be DEFEATED

How did you get this footage back from the event horizon?

The only 360° video I've ever finished. Keep showing us your great accomplishments!

OB: Have you ever heard the theory that if you fall into a black hole, you turn into spaghetti? Loki: No. OB: Good. The less you know about that, the better.

that accretion disk around it is so pretty though! seeing the waves above me as I fall in was almost mesmerizing lmao

You guy's do the best job of describing in great detail, but for the layman, the complexities of astrophysics. Thanks for doing what you do.

Potentially the coolest things on the internet!

I think it'd be much more interesting to see how things appear looking away from the black hole while falling into it. This way we'd be able to see all that light coming in from our universe, not to mention the speeding up of time to infinity, to the end of our universe. So, perhaps crossing into a black hole, from our time perspective, allows the imaginary sentient being, to see the end of time in our universe. That doesn't make sense since, presumably, the end of our universe would end all the black holes. But, it seems to be true that the distortion of time and space would result in seeing an acceleration of time to close to infinity when falling into a black hole. What am I missing here since I'm proposing a logical inconsistency?

I enjoy watching this before sleep. Not one ounce of fear or anxiety in me.

After yesterday's video I was really looking forward to this. Thank you Alessandro!

Now we know officially what's inside a black hole.... Alessandro Roussel is squatting inside the singularity

i did not know black holes had soundtracks, awesome.

Thanks to the person responsible for making the video so realistic you can alter the video by touching your screen

*How come I don't see the back of my head in this video?*

Thank you for thinking of releasing this.

WOW! There I was, peacefully looking around at the stars... Watching all that blue matter getting bent and warped in the strangest way... And there it was all of a sudden... This HUGE black hole. And there was no escape, it closed up to me so fast and totally swallowed me! What an amazing experience this was, especially because I could chose where to look by turning my phone. It made the whole thing so... REAL... GREAT!👍👍👍

Man good vid I had so much anxiety tho thank God we ain't encountering those things anytime soon what a relief

Really awesome! Thank you for putting this up! Keep watching it looking at different directions. Now I want this with a heads up display showing our speed and time compared to time on the ship we jumped from.

I was literally holding my breath the whole time! This was amazing!!!

1:09 beauty of a black hole instead of a deadly hole that eats anything in its path

The amount of fear i felt when i looked down and saw that watermark's immunity to the black hole. Really shows you the universe is a truly mysterious place.

Incredible. Thank you. This channel is evidence of how extremely subject to the algorithm youtube creators are. This content as every bit as excellent as some of your previous content that went viral. And yet... Regardless, I'm grateful for you.

Damn it sure gave me chills down my spine. Amazing work, I love this channel, please keep up the great work

Fun fact: if you have another person watching you fall inside, they will see your image freeze even before you cross the event horizon and to the person viewing you, you will just seem to be getting dimmer and tinted until you completely disappear.

That was amazing it was like escaping humanity entering a whole new dimension i loved the experience thank you

This is by far the most anxious thing i can think of! Great great job!!

I don’t know why but… I get a feeling of security and comfort when falling and looking into a black hole… almost as if it was a mother calling to her child to come here, or at least that’s how I initially thought and felt about it… I don’t know why but being engulfed by darkness, by this black hole which just happens to be apart of the same universe/macrocosm as us, just falling into it and dying by it just feels so natural to me right now… it kinda makes me tear up thinking about it like this

I watched the first 30 seconds. Skipped ahead and saw the dark empty void and said nope. I can’t watch it lol. Actually sent freezing chills down my spine

Is it weird that I wasn't really scared? Maybe it would be different in VR, but I just thought this was beautiful.
