Speaking as a geologist, yes, that might be an explanation for *one* of the major mass extinctions in recent Earth history. But, as a geologist, I'd worry more about the causes of the other 4 (or 5, or 6) major mass extinctions in the Phanerozoic's fossil record. Worry about one event, or worry about the other large handful. Worry about the one, or worry about the many. Hard decision?

@a.karley4672 9 күн бұрын
@@GammaFields Actually, in the relatively small number of stars pointing their rotation axes in the right direction (our way) AND close enough to have a significant effect, it very much is a question of IF not WHEN. The population of suitable progenitor stars is fairly small, and the timing and orientation requirements are quite stiff. It is very definitely an IF. That one of the 6 or 7 largest extinctions does not have a *detected* terrestrial explanation doesn't mean there wasn't one - just that nobody has worked it out. Yet. Plus, of course, the necessary evidence might have disappeared down a subduction zone. Meantime, we are, as a species, reproducing the causes of the #6 mass extinction, but doing it faster and harder than nature did. Which doesn't seem to worry people enough to actually *do* anything about it.

But in that case, I would have the consolation of winning my bet, which would win me four years of the magazine _*_Private Eye_*_ . If black holes do exist, Kip will get one year of _*_Penthouse_*_ . When we made the bet in 1975, we were 80% certain that Cygnus X-1 was a black hole. By now [1988], I would say that we are about 95% certain, but the bet has yet to be settled._ _Private Eye_ is a satirical current events magazine.

@cheeeeezewizzz 10 күн бұрын
Very unlikely. The gravitational reach of a black hole isn't any greater than that of the star which formed it. The total amount of gravity excerted is the same, just highly concentrated the further you get towards the center. For instance if the sun were to suddenly be replaced by a black hole of the same mass tomorrow and continue rotating as normal the entire solar system would just continue as usual, just in darkness. You would feel the gravity from any black hole WAY before you got anywhere near the event horizon even in space. Now, you might have trouble if it's one of the theorized rogue black holes that are just flying around the galaxy, those things supposedly move really fast. Could totally intercept your course out of nowhere conceivably before course corrections could be done to avoid it.

@@Toxicpoolofreekingmascul-lj4ydSmallest known blackhole would still be more massive than all the combined stars within 5 light years, so that would be hard to go unnoticed, especially with our continuous observation of Sirius via satellites, for even the slightest changes in angular momentum. I mean there are probably still numerous unknown non-light emitting bodies out there, but relatively stability in orientation(for probably billions of years by now), is part of what makes them hard to find. We have like 13K+ stars moving with us like a river of stars within 100 light years. A blackhole not moving with the flow already, would easily disturb the stellar river and give itself away.

There is a new plague where most KZfaq "science" videos are some idiot twisting facts into a story with tension, a buildup, and a climax. In my opinion, while maybe it makes science more engaging for certain people, it's turning it into a game and oftentimes spreading misinformation. A game to get clicks, make money, and say whatever needs to be said to keep their audience engaged. As KZfaq becomes a more popular medium for science, more and more lies get shoved into these videos. So again, you are one of the few remaining science channels that is respectable and trustworthy, so thank you

Oh really?? Anton's recent video "the most powerful explosion humanity has seen" described something 2 billion light years away. That doesn't exactly make me comfortable about something 1500-2,000 light years away!!

Just glad that all the experts say there is almost no chance of one sneaking up on us and causing a disturbance to the delicate balance of our planets, since that has been a fear of mine for as long as I can remember.
@avereth 11 күн бұрын
Well to be fair, whether we can detect one sneaking up on us or not, it's not gonna make any difference since it's going to possibly slingshot Earth out of the solar system or rip off its atmosphere regardless of anything we do. I bet they wouldn't even tell us. X)

Quick thought... Could ancient apocalypse stories of anything along the lines of "the dark one came from below the earth" mean an unseen asteroid/meteorites that cause catastrophic events? The wording of ancient texts, and how it has been translated and transcribed over history especially, intrigues me.
@Meboy-uv5td 9 күн бұрын
very unlikely, considering how much evidence those sorts of events would leave. that line in particular actually makes me think of volcanic activity far more, which I would think is far more likely, as we know of plenty of examples of people being killed by volcanoes (Pompeii anyone?)
