[@Vanpotheosis]

The idea of being near an Event Horizon has scared the shit out of me since I was 8.

[@lazytanks4035]

I've always thought it's cool. Except you know, getting your body ripped apart atom by atom.

[@lazytanks4035]

Tagger Tag Possibly, but maybe not at all. But supposedly, once you enter the black whole, you get crushed into nothing.

[@jupkees650]

tidal forces would kill You before anything else

[@ONshark]

depends on the size of black hole, in bigger ones tidal forces are weaker you can even reach event horizon, but once you reach it - you are never coming back :D

[@Kottr_Warlord]

Wouldn't radiation kill first?

[@Chevifier]

Wouldve been cool if they made the ship's systems start glitching out the closer you get to the Black Hole.

[@ExoticSpeedify]

yeah, and the ship would stretch

[@FatalFist]

And yourself get torn a part

[@gamesmaker1]

+F U C K Y O U くたばれ Actually that's what a wormhole woul do, in theory inside a black hole you wold be destroyed

[@Dorraj]

That's a wormhole. A Black Hole is just a shit ton of mass. It wouldn't transport you to anywhere, if you fly into it, you would be immediately obliterated into a trillion pieces, along with all the other asteroids, planets, and stars that were already sucked into it.

[@ASSASSYN]

That would be a wormhole.

[@92Ranger4]

trillion is an understatement. from what i read in astronomy magazine, whatever goes into a black hole is essentially atomized. all of atoms in whatever goes in are seperated from eachother, after that- we don't know.

[@BenieTheDragon]

Going through a black hole: Well, okay. Ship not getting torn apart: Well, o k a y. Not heating up: Well, *okay.* The ability to see the black hole in the first place: Well.... *O K A Y.*

[@KilianMuster]

That's what I thought. If you go anywhere near a neutron star your ship starts overheating, stat. They don't even follow their own rules (I get it that they have to ignore some physics in order for the game to work, FTL travelling and all that…)

[@Fajnymaszglos]

@@KilianMuster It is possible to beat the speed of light.

[@KilianMuster]

@@Fajnymaszglos Yeah, in theory by warping spacetime itself, but I think it was Lawrence Krauss who did the math in his book "The Physics of Star Trek" and the energy required for that would be somewhat the same as all the energy in our galaxy or some other outlandishly big amount. So, not very practical.

[@Fajnymaszglos]

@@KilianMuster It makes total sense what you're saying. I mean, we understand a lot about physics, but from a certain perspective, it still seems like little, tho. I wouldn't make judgments on what's possible or not. We are just some animals that have accomplished something thru our senses, and cognition. How can we know for sure? Because if we don't know, then there may be a way, just different from what we think. What do you think about that? And maybe game developers sometimes bend reality to make things more fun :)

[@jisazuramee1006]

​​@@KilianMuster It all depends on the ship itself and the heat efficiency of said ship. An Anaconda will overheat near a star or neutron star even with the best power plant, a Beluga will overheat just from grazing past a star (or from charging up to simply jump with the worst power plant) but a T-10 can literally sit on a star without even going over 60% heat with the best power plant. The science behind it is supposed to revolve around the Frame Shift Drive, which is based on the Alcubierre Drive, *which* is still only an idea or theory more than reality. The FSD is supposed to create a barrier around the ships that alter the space around it. There was an episode of Futurama where Cubert says "the ship doesn't move through space, it moves space around it" which happens to be the best description of how it works. This is why we're capable of traveling faster than light by 2,001 times. The device is also supposed to somewhat mitigate incoming temperature changes of extreme magnitude.

[@CthulhuSauce]

For the life of me I can't remember where it was, but a buddy and I found a black hole at the edge of the galaxy when doing some exploring. As we got close we realized it had not heat damage so we flew towards it only to be bounced back like a rubber ball. No damage to shields or nothing, just bounced right back. It was some dumb fun after a long exploration trip, lol.

[@VTRDC27]

interesting that you can still see light through this black hole

[@AIRburst95]

Should one encounter a black hole and not experience spaghettification, say through some sort of magic ship which would allow you to "observe" objects from within it wouldn't be unthinkable for photons to exist, albeit in whatever form they take under such gravity. Time would slow to a halt, and everything ever passed into the black hole would leave a permanent mark on the event horizon. Again, if one could see into a black hole (depending on your definition of observation) It's not unthinkable to see everything back in time to when the object first appeared millions of years ago...

[@Oikos1602]

AIRburst95 Thanks. I too, watch Discovery Channel.

[@inoffensiveusername4684]

The definition of a blackhole environment is purely theoretical. As such, this games theory of such an environment is just as feasible. As seen in other parts of this game, relativity theory is both implemented and completely disregarded, as it is in most fictional games. I'm not surprised, however I am a little disappointed with what the developers imagination developed for this

[@VTRDC27]

Well, it isn't solely theoretical. We know that black holes cause light to be bent around it, with black at the center from light that is too close to escape the gravitation pull. This causes a distortion of bent light around the edges called lensing. That was what I was getting at. The interior of the hole should be a void of nothing, black. This visual effect is due to the fact that our eyes operate off of reflective light (to be simple about it) and if there is no light coming from the center of the black hole, which there wouldn't be due to the gravitational pull, it would appear black to us because there is no light to take in.

[@JeronCradle]

Rump Buffalo maybe it's bend around it?

[@HelenaRedgrave]

0/10 No event horizon, uninstalling the game as I write this. Nah, just kidding. For real though, can't wait for the day Frontier adds accretion discs to Black Holes and binary systems. They're already revamping Neutron Stars and White Dwarfs, so we're getting there~

[@ColdCutz]

They should also make Neutron Stars and White Dwarfs spin stupidly fast.

[@kyleairforce]

I am a space nerd so I naturally love this game, and I can't wait until everything is done and realistic according to current science, just so i can go around and look a things. I really want to see them put magnetars in the game, although your ship would be ripped apart if you got it close. And they need to add UY Scuti. An awesome thing to see to would be white holes, but those are just hypothetical at this point.

[@cmdrblahdee]

hmm, i never got too close to one because I figured there would be a sharp uptick in heat due to radiation... interesting to know that's not the case.

[@Pablo-Diablo]

Bigger ones produce more heat. In case of Sagittarius A* you would melt before dropping out of supercruise for being too close. And I doubt that I could reproduce it now without taking heat damage with my fancy new dirty drives.

[@Pablo-Diablo]

Why not? The Asp doesn't overheat that much and with 510 m/s boost I can run away from any NPC. It also makes life easier when landing on planets, searching for barnacles and so on. I also have 6D lvl 5 dirty drives on my exploration Anaconda and it can boost to about 340. I put dirty drives on everything. If it can't work with dirty drives then it's not meant to fly. I have so much fun fuel scooping in my overcharged as hell Corvette :) I turn off SCBs to generate less passive heat and most of the times I make it out without getting to 100% heat.

[@ChrisJay147]

+Pavel Frolov isnt it that bigger and more massive blackholes are actualy so cold, that their temperarureis almost at absolute Zero?

[@Pablo-Diablo]

Chris Jurco Well they all produce heat in this game. The bigger the hotter.

[@yorha_9s344]

pretty sure the heat is due to the hawking radiation and not mass

***** Eh? What's that?

[@czarpeppers]

Amir Ali The guy is obviously running a modded or bugged version, because they do kill you. They kill you hard.

[@AmirAli-qh3ve]

Stephen Prevost Eh? really? I didn't know that. You got a video to back up your claim dude?

[@Pablo-Diablo]

+CryptykNumidium not this Black Hole... Feel free to travel to it and check it out for yourself. This is just a bug because most Black Holes I've encountered have an invisible barrier that you can't pass and this one doesn't. The amount of heat they emit is corresponded to their size and mass. This particular one is obviously small. There are loads of Black Holes in the sector. Because after I flew through this one I started doing it to other Black Holes and actually found another one that you can fly through quite close by. If you do decide to travel to it and find that things have changed, don't blame me because this video was shot half a year ago and FD might have fixed it or something, but I highly doubt that. I just don't feel like doing 20k LY in one direction again... If someone is travelling to Sagittarius A* then this will be just a couple of thousand LY detour. BTW +Stephen Prevost I do not use any mods or cheats. I am not dumb enough to upload a video of myself cheating together with my CMDR name.

[@joshuak5798]

It's amazing how many people in this comment section seem to have a definitive answer for what happens inside a Black Hole...guys c'mon.

[@nicholasthebrave5535]

Its not what happens inside the black hole people are annoyed about, its everything leading up to that moment AND what happens when he is inside.

[@HeroValios]

I wish they'd bring this back. I managed to do this by accident just by trying to go inside one to see what would happen, and the wonder and innate terror I felt going inside not knowing what would happen is a moment I won't forget. It makes me sad that it's patched. :/

Yep -- gotta love the Asp Explorer. Probably the best all-around ship with a wide cockpit view and fantastic jump range, especially after you've engineered the FSD. Anytime I try to fly into a black hole, it always keeps me from getting more than a couple kilometers away from it. Seeing the gravitational lensing of the stars behind it IS pretty cool.

[@somerandomyoutubechannel5816]

Oh, but have you seen one against the nothingness of space beyond the galaxy? I think that's the most terrifying thing I've ever encountered in this game. Not being able see the black hole at all.

[@Pablo-Diablo]

Lennart That's what you need to get the elite trading rank. No, just normal trading. I doubt anyone ever made over a billion trading rares as they are not as profitable as trading normal goods in large quantities.

[@Twiggy163]

Pavel Frolov rares used to be unlimited, which allowed players to make billion during the earlier stages of the game. The devs caught on to that. If you have a ship with good jump range such as an ASP, the rares can still be more profitable. I did that for a while but got bored. A billion for elite trading rank, thats going to take a while then. Just got an Anaconda (C grade components) and going for the Elite rank in combat through bounty hunting.

[@Pablo-Diablo]

Lennart Oh, well I bought the game maybe a month after the official release so they probably already fixed the rares. Good luck to you on your endeavors, Commander!

[@Twiggy163]

Pavel Frolov thank you, sir. I might do some more trading aswell.

[@maczack87]

100,000 years is nothing on a universal scale. Everyone he knew would be dead but there would still be people. Things would look much different though, that for sure. Our technology would be unrecognizable, and he would be flying around in a 100,000 year old piece of shit space ship while most of humanity would have transcended into another plane of existence, but even then there would still be humans floating around the universe somewhere.

[@radurusnac6962]

@@maczack87 in ~100000 we would reach or ve close to reaching type 3 civilization, exploiting the energy of the Galaxy. In ED, humanity has reached type 2 civilization. At that point, humanity might not even look like us, they might look completely different from one another, going onto different evolutionary paths depending on which planets some individuals come from. Even Earth's humans will look completely different, as of today, the average man is 10cm taller than the average man from 150 years ago. A planet with 80% of Earth's gravity would have taller , sleeker humans, and a planet with a more powerful gravity would have humans that are shorter, more muscular to support their weight under that kind of gravity.

[@ihopeyouandicanbefriends]

black holes give me a form of primal fear difficult to explain. this video triggered a little bit of palm sweaty anxiety in me, especially when it really started warping the light and stars

[@OmegaManZX]

My God... It's full of stars...! On a serious note, I find it quite sad just how many people in the comments don't understand that this is a glitch and that by the game's normal standards this isn't suppose to happen. To those who haven't actually played this game, the true result of a black hole death in Elite: Dangerous IS disappointing from a physics standpoint, as it doesn't go into the realm of Hawking theories and treats getting close as an overheat, and will cause your ship to explode if exposed for too long. However, I assure you that going near a black hole and getting pulled out of Supercruise by getting too close is almost guaranteed ship destruction unless you've got good reflexes and can see it coming (sometimes the backdrop of space is too dark and the gravity lensing is hard to see). Even if it isn't as accurate or impressive it is still dangerous from a gameplay standpoint and getting too close should generally be avoided if you're playing Exploration.

[@FreshTwoSix]

***** I would say that's pretty accurate. The accretion disk of a black hole would be quite hot, though we don't see it in game. But to truly experience black hole death, would be for you to get closer and your game to slow down exponentially until it appears frozen thus forever ending your time in Elite: Dangerous.

[@OmegaManZX]

TheSuperintendent I didn't think about it like that. I guess that would be kind of bad from a "let's not kill our customers' computers" standpoint.

[@fremenGaming]

Actually you are not correct. From the point of view of the pilot time would seem to go normally (outside of the black hole would accelerate in time exponentially). You would just fall to the black hole and die due to gravitational forces (that would tear you apart). For an outside viewer indeed you would seem to slow down, but the moment you would go through event horizon (which is possible with very big black holes without dying), you would stop being visible.

[@AmeyaVaidyaExEcutESC2]

It's actually pretty realistic. The thing is that most of the depicitions you see are based on what anyone in physics would call combined electromagnetic spectrum image where things like X-Rays and other high energy emissions are used to create a compelling image. Black Holes emit a lot of X-Rays which are not visible to our eyes naturally. Granted, in 3304, we would have developed bionic eyes which replace at least one of our eyes with an intelligent eye which can see all parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, for the purposes of the game, we have none. And from that viewpoint, the black hole is completely accurate.

Hope when there's co-op you'd be able to team up with a friend and test the authenticity of this black hole out.

[@spartan20005]

From an astrophysics point of view, if you can go through a black hole than it is not a black hole but a wormhole. Both are very similar except where as a black hole leads to a singularity (Aka a dead end that will kill you) a wormhole doesn't have a singularity, but something very close. Think of it like a black hole is an icecream cone on the three-dimensional plane. If you go in, it just keeps thinning and thinning until it reaches a point of singularity (it being the tip of the cone.) But a wormhole is more like an hourglass, where once you get near the bottom it starts to widen out again and leads you to an entirely different place on the same three-dimensional plane. My analysis: This isn't a black hole, it's a wormhole that happens to lead nowhere or at least lead to someplace extremely close-by. The two separate rings that it makes (2:40) once you go through supports that it does not in fact have a singularity but a wormhole as the space of nothing in-between the two rings serve as a "pinhole" in the "hourglass". Not only that, but the visual it makes at 3:16 once you go BACK through the wormhole supports that your not going into a singularity (which would 100% kill you, no matter what sci-fi tech you have) but instead your going through that little pinhole opening in the inter-dimensional hourglass of a wormhole. Trippy, right? The only HOLE (get it?) in my logic is that wormholes usually collapse seconds (If not moments) after being made.

+spartan20005 What happens is that when you get close to black holes in this game, they kind of shift your whole view around by bending light so much. So when he goes past the black hole he can see behind him. OR he was already seeing behind him and can see forwards again. Anyways, that view is brighter, probably because it's towards the galaxy. In fact, you can see his view spinning just as he goes past the black hole. This is just my theory but it seems the most logical.

My god, it’s full of stars

[@tratondesg9028]

Behind Orion Nebular is another one without a barrier. Perfect view of visual effects, with nebular and light of galaxy behind the black hole. "ORION DARK REGION ZE-A E6" I think, thats a bug. and sry for my english, it´s not the best

[@The_Sock_]

looked like pilot was orbiting near the proton sphere the whole time. Did he actually cross the event horizon? and if so WHY IS HE STILL ALIVE!? hax

[@Restilia_ch]

+Hijiku Brynjar Given that Elite Dangerous is very faithful to RL physics, and that boundary is where our understanding of physics completely breaks, the ability to just fly by-through it is not surprising to me. Also possible is he didn't actually hit the singularity, since it's an impossibly small thing.

[@The_Sock_]

OtakuMage fair point, but still if you cross the event horizon (which i have seen happen to friends) you cant really get out, and your ships temp will just increase until poof. apparently at first they programmed black holes to work somewhat similar to a star, emitting heat or radiation (via Hawking radiation) and while you engage frameshift, it says you're moving, but you're actually being pulled closer to the singularity. Your escape vector shows up, but after a certain point, you're just boned.

[@Restilia_ch]

Hijiku Brynjar Yeah, not a perfect explanation, but other than just exploding your ship at the event horizon, there's not a lot Frontier could do. Depending on if the BH is alone or in a system, they could have an accretion disk on it that gets insanely hot before you get to the event horizon.

[@OatMeaIs]

I have never felt such fear as i did while he was getting closer... and its a youtube video... just the idea made me of doing this even in a game made me shit myself... in conclusion, great video

[@elsewyr]

oh my god, it's full of stars

[@owenwhitman6616]

I sincerely appreciate the gravitational lenseing.

[@falloutcreepy4678]

"It's imposible", "no it's nessesary"

[@Jack-iu2gl]

IRL, unfortunately the Extreme X-ray radiation and accretion disc matter would most likely blow you to bits with the fury of a supernova before you even get close to the event horizon. That's at least my hypotheses. But I guess in the chance that didn't happen or if the black hole didn't have that, you'd be ripped to atoms by the gravitational force and disintegrated before ever approaching the event horizon. A common Theory of black holes is that they spit the matter out the other side through a white hole or worm hole, but that matter would be nothing but separate particles and radiation. It's not the terror and mystery inside a black hole that you'd ever have to worry about, because you'd be ripped into nothing but quarks light-years away from eachother before you'd ever get to see what happens.

[@MrGreatDane2]

why is this so scary? ;n;

[@michaelsaylor9254]

Wow..... I think the black hole was petrifiededly happy that a commander wanted to go inside of him.

[@ceiling_cat]

Playing scary music with scanner))0

[@miasma529]

This video is scarier than most horror movies

[@doremonhg]

The last part is cool as hell lol

[@Reaver84]

there is something immensely unsettling about this.... but i cant look away

[@theninjararar]

playing interstellar soundtrack while watching this :)

[@ultrahd3388]

The most horrifying moment of gaming so far, i was holding my breath though.

[@es0teric613]

is it bad that I am scared out of my mind whenever I try this?

[@Cerberus256]

While I love the way it is done, I do think they messed up the black hole gravity aspect. It should really be the case that gravity should suck you in (no matter how fast you go in supercruise) and fade to black if you get too close. Maybe some utility could be added like slingshot to supercharge FTL. Dunno, just feels a bit broken.

[@GeekyGizmo007]

aaaw i wanted to see spaghettification

[@ademkin]

Beautiful mate, through a black hole and back.

[@JuanTreminio]

Looked like a wormhole to me.

[@Fuzzy9001]

+Extreme Encounter oh goodness me we know it was a glitch but whatever stop going on about it

[@Fuzzy9001]

+Extreme Encounter the people who knew that

[@Fuzzy9001]

I dunno lol well ive had enough of the notifications so im just not gonna comment anymore after this one

[@Fuzzy9001]

Meh sometimes stuff comes through that someone has liked or subscribed or commented to me

[@rogerdodgeraviation]

Whoa! Love it, thanks for posting this.

[@carlosmellenios]

That was beautiful... Especially when you went through in debug camera mode. Next challenge, the Great Annihilator!

[@Pablo-Diablo]

I'm afraid that wouldn't be possible for two reasons. First, Sagittarius is hot as hell. And second, all Black Holes in ED are supposed to have these imgur.com/a/KyI6q Body exclusion zones... I was just lucky enough to find one that doesn't have this invisible barrier.

[@carlosmellenios]

+Pavel Frolov haha yeah I know about the exclusion zones and heat damage and all that. But I must ask. Is this the only black hole without these restrictions? Is it a glitch? Or if any hole is small enough and not too hot, would you be able to travel through it?

[@Pablo-Diablo]

Could be a glitch. Only FD knows for sure. However this is far from the only Black Hole you can find of that type. There is one like it at HD 215227. It is only about 1K LY away from the bubble. All I can say is that they are very uncommon. Out of maybe a thousand Black Holes visited in total I have found only two like it. Some were too hot and I couldn't get closer to try to cross them.
