Imagine traversing the galaxy in the future and getting very close to a black hole without realising that you probably won't see your family again because of it (as the very strong gravitational force causes time dilation).

Very small black hole. Supermassive ones have a nsity comparable with the water sphere of their size. Blackhole radius rise linearly with their mass and not logarithmically like planets. Their entropy is given by the surface of the event horizon. It is very counterintuitive.

[@skeltek7487]

Funny fact: Real really large black holes would accelerate you towards them, effectively reducing the distance to them by time dilation effects. One second you are a 100 light seconds away from the horizon, the next second you are 50 light seconds away because of your own time dilation causing Lorenz contraction. Also you would probably be inside the event horizon significantly before you are able to realize you already crosse the event horizon.

[@hunterg24]

That would depend on if your ship is able to handle the extreme gravity. If it could, you could actually pass the event horizon without realizing you had.

[@robopiplup5193]

That's not the way relativity works. You don't experience the effects of time dilation and length contraction yourself, they're only things observed by another observer in different spacetime geometries.

[@skeltek7487]

@@robopiplup5193 Uhm no. That is how it works. The BH moving towards you at relativistic speeds shifts the plane of simultaneousness, which also changes ‘when’ you see a certain space coordinate pass a certain distance.

[@eucherenkov]

event horizons have no substance, they aren't a physical object, they are just a threshold that you cross you wouldn't even notice it at all if you were crossing the event horizon of a particularly massive black hole. a not particularly massive black hole would tear you to shreds, however, due to tidal forces.

The black holes in elite cant kill you, I know. I flew into one so close the game stopped me from getting any closer, sure its scary as hell but wont kill you.

[@MrMyu]

They used to be able to. As you got closer and closer your heat would spike /hard/ and just keep climbing, and if you weren't watching, your ship would melt. That obviously got changed, but around the time I was recording this I'd heard about it, but was still mighty wary.

[@jeshika4940]

I don't blame you for being cautious, my first time near a black hole I wanted to get as far away from it as possible. My friend told me quote "No go into it, it wont kill you. Frontier made it that way since no one knows what would truly happen." I was still freaking out but by the time I was at the entrance to it my ship stopped moving forward.

Nice to see a game accurately portraying a blackhole. Blackholes aren't like how they're depicted in the media. They're basically invisible and all you'll see is the light distortion. Edit: Also realistically, if you're traveling faster than light to warp out, nothing would happen to you since you warped through the black hole.

5:05 NO! this is not the singularity. You can't see the singularity, noone can see the singularity. In essence you can't even "see" a black hole or the event horizon, you can only percieve its presence by the effects the singularity has on light, but for communication simplicity's sake we assume that you see them. The singularity is a collapsed core of a very massive star and the immense gravity bends light to the extent it cannot escape if too close - which is why all there is is a seemingly void ("black") region with light bending around it - and that's the black hole - the visual effect casued by the unseen singularity

Was wary approaching my first black hole because I didn't know if the distance was to the event horizon or center. Wish they had kept things more dangerous with sensors telling you how close you are to EH.

I see where you're coming from but consider this; IRL we're starting to be able to identify the composition of expolanetary atmospheres from hundreds of light years away. It makes sense in a thousand years that we'd be able to ID stuff light seconds or light hours away. Plus to get full credit and payout you still have to approach and use probes, so there's still incentive to do close inspection.

Goddamn shoutout to the Elite Dangerous develloper

[@flyboymb]

Best game to utilize black holes was Klingon Academy. You'd go into a battle with a stereotypical vortex of debris around the event horizon. There'd be the odd stream of Hawking radiation streaming from the 'poles' of the singularity. At the outskirts, there was little effect. As you got closer, the pull of gravity increasingly affected your movement, debris would damage your system, and your ship could be ripped apart from a surge of energy from the matter moving at such high velocities. Get too close, and you'd lose all helm control and eventually be heading towards certain destruction at the speed of light. Goofing around with a friend, you could play chicken with the singularity and see who could get closest before having to engage warp to escape. The engines took about 6-7 seconds to power up, so you couldn't get too close.

Actually, I think a black hole this size would have inescapably pulled you towards it at that distance. Or maybe 483 km was the outer reach of the event horizon? And is gravity distortion really visible like this?

[@VestedUTuber]

483km would be the outer reach of the event horizon. In pretty much any game that simulates black holes, the 3D object used to represent the black hole is based on the event horizon, not the singularity. A singularity is an infinitesimally small point and it's not like you'd see it anyway.

[@ferociousfeind8538]

I maintain that gravitational effects should hinder supercruise and hyperspace capabilities. The way a Beluga liner too close increases the time it takes to spool up your supercruise, and mass puts a speed limit on your supercruise, masses should also increase the time and fuel consumption of a jump, on top of perhaps very heavy objects being very close causing some turbulence and doing some damage. Jumping from a black hole shouldn't be so easy! (For a benchmark, perhaps if the supercruise speed limit is under 1C, jumping is very costly and destructive, but anything above 10C is almost completely indistinguishable from taking no damage or mass penalties to jumping at all)

If I'm not mistaken I think you meant to say gravitational distortion not gravitational lensing. Gravitational lensing is when a source of light appears to become many sources or a ring of light due to diffraction of it around a large stellar body.

Black holes cause gravitational lensing, because they're so impossibly dense they act like a body MUCH larger but without the matter to make the lensing less prominent.
