“Yeah, I’m really getting into non-black-hole stellar mass singularities at the moment. You’ve probably never heard of it.”

Isn’t the whole thing about gravastars that they don’t have singularities?

Imma wait to be excited about this, it’s some kinda nonsense like gigantic atoms, with a hard candy shell made of bubbles but the energy of 10 suns idk man that’s pretty out there
Ofc existence is pretty strange on a good day …

I mean physics is insane in general. XKCD had a video the other day that mentioned that if you had enough light/a strong enough laser, space itself stops being transparent because matter suddenly starts materialising out of nothing and blocks the light.

I watched it last night. I’m still trying to get my head around positive pressure vacuum.

Can you get your head around singularities? Because as much as I do understand, I still don’t understand them.

Its just a part in the equation where you’re dividing by zero, that’s all. It means our theories are incomplete.
The gravastar theory is notable (IMO) because it does away with the singularity. Although, it seems like this theory is borderline unfalsifiable, since anyway you could detect a gravastar would also be insistinguishable from a black hole.
Personally, I am of the (completely unsubstantiated) opinion that black holes create universes (somehow) because it is a simple, succinct answer to many questions. So, any theory that takes that seriously would be worth further research, imo. But until there is some kind of observational evidence, I think this is just relegated to the realm of “that’s a neat thing that math can do”.

I’m gonna rephrase that for both of us, I think (hope):
We understand better what it is we don’t understand about them.

I wonder how old these three people are now …

The source image was from 2015, and the people appear to be in their mid-20s then, soooo… about 35 now.
Huh.

That’s not a person it’s a picture

Gravastar are sexy but Black hole can suck better.

You know I got super high a few weeks ago and imagined something similar to this so I’m pretty sure they’re on to something here.

The soundtrack on this video was a banger too

I used to love Kurzgesagt but I just don’t like their videos anymore, and I’m not sure why. They definitely make the kind of content I enjoy, always did and still do, but when I try to watch any of their videos from the last 3-4 years I just don’t like it. I also get this feeling that they are kinda smug about their popularity and how famous they are, it’s weird.

They recently repeated establishment disinformation about drugs. Didn’t address the real problem. They pro status quo bias and hide behind science justifications.
They’re good, but they’re stretching the sauce and don’t get to tge bottom of things that are too controversial even if high probability of being true.
Kacarott@aussie.zone 5 months ago
“hide behind science justifications” maybe I’m misunderstanding you, but isn’t basing opinions and world views on science exactly what people should be doing?

I unsubscribed after they put out a vid that felt like an unmarked ad for the cyberpunk game
NerdsGonnaNerd@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
I feel the same. If I had to put a finger on it, I would say it is since the time they parted ways with the german “GEZ”. Wiki GEZ
pineapplelover@lemm.ee 5 months ago
I feel the same way. I can’t put my finger on it, but I feel something is off and not as good as the older videos. Definitely not because they’re more mainstream now though
blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Nope, you’re definitely not a contrarian by nature in real life.
You’re also immune to Russian apathy propaganda and Lemmy complaints about green washing…
It’s gotta be because they managed to make money off spreading well researched and sauced scientific videos and something just feels off now…

Probably since they decided to take billionaire money, which limited what they can now say in their videos. It feels more superficial and vague now.

Glad I’m not alone on this
