Elite Dangerous - Crashing into Sagittarius A*

My first visit out to the centre of the galaxy. The views were amazing. But I had this nagging question in my head ... Can i crash into it? I created this video of my attempt.

can't believe after all this time they still haven't improved the look and feel of the black holes in the game. Especially sagittarius a* its not as calm there...

[@phuturephunk]

They would probably have to model some sort of accretion disks into them and that'd be pretty tricky. Either that or they don't want to devote the dev time to doing so.

[@Dienex]

still looks impressive, but just not as impressive as Gargantua. but yeah from what ive seen black holes are highly unfinished, which is stopping me from buying this game yet. pulsars look fucking sweet tho

[@williamwikde]

its because you cant see the ship entering the black hole because light does not bounce off the ship once it crosses the event horison because light cant escape the gravitational pull of a black hole once it passes through the event horizon

Spent a good part of my initial time in the game paranoid about crashing into celestial bodies, but it turns out the game just doesn't let you. Sort of ruins the tension.

[@tabularasa0606]

You can, if it happens during an interdiction.

[@handofcreation0]

@@tabularasa0606 To be fair, that's more just a slight oversight due to the way interdictions work. Whenever you are interdicted, you retain the speed of however fast you were going upon interdiction, so if you fly into a body at a fast enough speed, you can be outside the emergency drop zone on one frame, and have travelled fast and far enough on the next frame to be inside the object and for the game to recognize you're within the emergency exclusion drop-out zone. Usually at that point the game realizes somethings gone fucky, you're in a place you're not supposed to be, and it will boot you to menu and have you start back up in a proper area.

[@tabularasa0606]

@@handofcreation0 But still possible, at least it was a few months ago. It happened to me once. Haven't been able to repeat it though.

[@theakiwar9118]

Well here’s the thing. In physics any sufficiently fast enough particle will just go through an object without disturbing it. For barionic matter it would be a speed of more than Lightspeed. Since faster than light travel is possible in the game, you technically would just phase though an object if you were to crash into it. So neither you nor the object could experience any disturbances

[@ThorusCZ]

@@theakiwar9118 Wait what? How did they destroy the Dreadnaught in The Last Jedi by ramming it in light speed if they would phase through it?

I mean, this makes sense with how supercruise works. Basically the closer you are to mass the slower you go. And since this is a super massive Blackford you can't go all that fast by the time you hit the exclusion zone, compared to a small planet that doesn't show you down as much.

You, an aspiring spacefaerer with a dream. To see the center of our galaxy up close. To see all highly concentrated stars cluster in the sky while the massive, imposing black hole in the center tears up the lights, pulling and stretching the very tissue of spacetime. You feel an urge for discovery. You want to get close, to fall in the immense power by forces of unnimaginable magnitude. You close in, it is unsettling, but relaxing. You know this is it. And as you get to the point of no return, as your view is covered by nothing but stray photons lost in the abyss, you black out. Slowly, you hear birds, and wind, and the sounds of a carriage, feeling a cold breeze in your skin, you open your eyes and "Hey you... You're finally awake."

The PHYSICS of falling into a black hole and its effect afterwards has not been developed yet. Only the 'possibility' has been explored theoretically. It is yet to be proved.

[@lizardlegend42]

We know the physics outside the event horizon extremely well. It's inside the event horizon as you approach the singularity we're iffy on

[@TheHipOneMusic]

Saying "it is yet to be proved" is a technicality. Everything math-wise checks out, and for those sorts of things we're 99.999% sure that it's true. But since we can't physically go to a black hole, it's labelled "unproven"

[@Content_Creator10]

@@TheHipOneMusic Hey I like your comment. Just want to request you to check out Black Hole documentary on Netflix where the Nasa scientists and various others are accepting the fact that 'they do not understand the black holes fully yet and specially what actually happens when you go around it or fall into it.' They said 'only mathematically its proven yet, but black holes can't just be studied purely using maths or physics because everytime the equation says something else and the observation through the telescopes shows something else.' So how BH will affect you when you are around them is just based on the assumptions made by scientists using maths, of which even they are not fully confident about. I am not saying they are wrong or right, its just that the assumptions are not certain and cannot be assumed as its true. Please do check the documentaties!

First ever BH I encountered was the one at around 5000ly from the bubble and right away I wanted to test what happens if I fly into it (back then I didn't really know much about BH's in elite). My disappointment was more massive than the BH when it was just "bonk" and that's it 😔

Its gravity does not hold our galaxy together, this is a misconception. It acts nothing like the sun in our solar system. While it is certainly extremely massive, it is nowhere near massive enough to affect us in the slightest, we're way too far away.

[@DWal32]

1:18 thats... not how supercruise works... that's not how any warp bubble drive works All your speed is based on a spacetime bubble half-moving, which in ED gets disrupted by gravity and slows down because of it. "Building up speed" with a warp bubble doesn't work, you'll be slowed down depending on how close you are from any gravity well. Which is what happened, at 2:39 you went far enough from the gravitational Soi (sphere of influence) of Source 2 (is that its real name?) to reach 480c but went close enough to the gravitational Soi of Sagittarius that you slowed down, completely removing your built-up acceleration. Point is, with supercruise you don't build up speed to crash into a black hole.

The lensing shouldn't change when the camera moves around the ship. It would seem the game is rendering the black hole as small and up close, not at it's true size and distance

[@arthurpendragon8192]

at least the spaghettification is less severe with a huge black hole compared to the smaller ones so you won't become a noodle as fast. i.e. the differing gravitational pull difference between your feet and your head. Smaller black holes spaghettify well outside their horizon while the bigger ones spaghettify much much closer to the horizon, yea even only within the horizon sometimes. So 'technically' you can get closer to a bigger black hole when considering only that singular aspect of black holes but...it might not change much because of the freaking radiation :/

You can fly straight through the smaller black holes in Elite Dangerous and you'll only get damaged by heat.
