Well, let hope they take in the gravitational effects of adding 80x mass. the sun and JUP JUP are already in an orbit they is closer to a bi-nary star system then that of a mere planet. It might relocate with the habital zone of the solar system..... But we are very adaptive species.

[@guardsmanom134]

Hey Kyle, how big would a black hole have to be, to be powering the Sun? I'm asking you, because you mentioned that our "dim star" scenario would allow Jupiter to become (eventually) as bright as our Sun. Since we can only see the first couple of layers of fusing gas, I speculate that our Sun still has a few secrets to bare. So, please? I'd explain it, but I'd DEFINITELY lose everyone in the interim.

Yes we mine on Earth, we are not that advanced in space yet. I also doubt we would ever fully dismantle earth to turn it into a swarm of space stations.

A couple of points come to mind watching this. 1) you talked about capturing a black hole and moving it. I think it would be simpler to just create one where we need it. 2) getting rid of Jupiter's magnetic field. Don't Black Holes also have strong magnetic fields of their own? Or would the field not reach far enough to matter because of how small the black hole we need is?

[@winferdprice5310]

That would be the more reasonable approach. just build 2 LHCs focused on Saturn's poles and accelerate matter into the center until the Black hole is created then scrap them into the new star. Then we can sit back and bask in the in the brilliance of our hubris that really did cause man made Global warming.

[@joeybru]

1. We of course dont know how to create a BH. It would have to bee macroscopic, so, at least the mass of a Himalaya or more. You may know that Hawking radiation gets stronger as a BH gets smaller, at the end it probably explodes, but for this we would need Quantum Gravity. Its conceivable that some future LHC may create sg like a BH withthe mass of a few nuclei (thats less than Himalaya) which would be probably unstable because of Hawking radiation - but we dont know for sure as this would be clearly an object in the realm of Quantum Mecanics and we dont have a gravity theory describing that realm. With GR Theory we belileve to have a (perhaps good) model for macroscopic BHs only.

Red stars don't weaken Superman, being around only a red star means Supes doesn't get as much solar energy as Earth gets and is thus weaker. Adding an additional red star to the solar system would just give Superman more power.

[@mastertofu]

@@XxThunderflamexX Red sunlight drains his 'solar-energy reserves' and would dampen his kryptonian abilities, this does, in fact, mean that at night, Superman wouldn't be as super as in the day.

who cares ? is a giant ball of gas without life and soo heavy that we as humans could never live there anyway , and the amount of energy that this amazing engineering wonder would produce is soo vast that I really thing any other form of energy production would be useless .we can produce a lot of energy using nuclear power but only feel country's in the whole world have the technology to do that and even the ones who have it , know that even though is a "clean" source of energy if anything happens the whole region is destroy for centuries. We are talking about Energy enough to fuel mankind as a whole for millenniums. The true definition of Unlimited power.

[@AnInsideJoke]

It would actually destroy multiple planets, including our own. Even without any of the actual heat from the Jupiter-sun reaching us, Kyle clearly said that the light itself would, making what is supposed to be night have near daytime level brightness, completely screwing with the circadian rhythm of every plant and animal on earth, including humans (just look up how often and easily people go nuts near the arctic circle during that whole "6 months of darkness/light" thing). Plus, I can't remember, do all of Jupiter's moons have proper rotation? If not, then the ones that don't will just remain icy on one half, and super-heated on the other, which will make them even less habitable than they currently are. All of this is also without mentioning that smaller, "dwarf stars" (which Jupiter would classify as if it were turned into a sun) have super-short lifespans and tend to be unstable. And unstable stars tend to end in novas or supernovas. And supernovas are the 2nd most destructive known force in the universe (black holes being the 1st). Just the explosion itself would completely obliterate the entire solar system (and possibly a good chunk of the surrounding Oort cloud too), to say nothing of the massive amounts of gamma radiation which would be released.

[@willbordy]

​@@AnInsideJoke Even if we human reach the point to indeed do something like this , you really thing that we with a population of maybe dozens of billions of people not only in the earth, but in other planets with small population we would care for the life of minimal creatures ? if yes, we would create controlled environment for then and the day and night would be irrelevant , if no, what is most likely to happens since we as a species don't give a fuck about another species if they are no useful to us. they would just die and within 100 years no one would give a fuck. I know that is a evil way of seeing the things and I don't agree with that but we don't give a fuck to most creatures now days even we could easily save most of then ,since their environment still sustainable and renewable. we as a species don't care , all that some people do is cry out in the internet to others to see with no immediate response . And the process of heating of a planet soo much bigger then the earth would be soo slow that most likely would take century's for the planet/star Jupiter reach a temperature OR brightness high enough to have a catastrophic impact in the planet earth , and even if that's the case , we would have much bigger problems because probably a this point the Earth would be almost dry of natural resources and the population would be soo massive that even most humans would live in absolutely poverty. and the last thing yes maybe some small planets or moons be destroy .but if that is the price that humanity would have to pay to survive as a whole we would do that without a single trace of doubt. We are human and I think that nothing is a price high enough to survival of the whole species .

[@rxg9er]

The reason Jupiter exists is because it's too far away from the sun for hydrogen to be ripped away by solar radiation. Also Europa and possibly the other moons already have molten cores because of Jupiter's tidal forces.

[@ivankumrokovski3003]

Some questions: 1° What happens to the quantity of radiation that is received by earth (Jovian winds) 2° By transforming Jupiter into a star the Goldilocks zone of the sun will interfere with that of Jupiter? 3° The gravitational balance of the solar system will be disrupted and the planets will be slingshot-ed?

[@RtRowen]

The mass of the blackhole itself would be at most if an asteroid started orbiting Jupiter so the solar systems gravity would not be thrown out of whack. Jupiter's own goldilocks zone should not interfere with the central star's due to distance. Uncertain about the radiation thing due to the majority of what earth gets hit by comes from our own sun but radiation coming from Jupiter could have an impact, though the Earth's magnetosphere would probably handle it fine due to actually being stronger on the backside (due to the solar winds pressure from the sun facing side) I might be wildly wrong on the last one though and we would not want Jupiter to get super hot.

@@ssifr3331 well if we assume that pressure is extremely high in a black hole due to the extreme gravity, it can both be cool and hot, after all no heat can escape it, however it most likely acts like a Bose-Einstein condensate where all the atoms take up just 1 space and the electron cloud is what actually takes up the space. And last time I checked those things are cool. Although the mass to energy conversion says that a black hole with mass m is if it isn't rotating m×c×c joules, meaning let's assume it's 250 billion solar masses, so it's 1 Sol × 11839612713113028000000000 centigrade heat units, or 22500000000000 Peta Joules × 1 Sol... do you understand how ridiculous the energy is.

The black hole is an engine. Its ability to convert matter to useable energy is better than anything we could build. So this is kind of litteraly what we would be doing. Though putting it at the heart of a dyson swarm or matrioska brain would be better than heating a few moons.

The first hypothesis for the stellification of the sun that you proposed consisted in "squeezing" Jupiter to the point on initiating steady nuclear fusion. But wouldn't the mettalic hydrogen insise jupiter's core pose a risk to a longlasting energy source, being more stable than normal gaseous state hydrogen? Guess that the your starkiller needs a different power source

[@AsbestosMuffins]

I assume the reason why suns dom't have that problem is because of the enormous forces blasting outwards preventing that hydrogen from solidifying like that

[@adamwu4565]

Instead of trying to find a micro-blackhole for this, you could make one. Disassemble Mercury to construct a partial (about 10%) Dyson Swarm around the sun, and with that, concentrate the captured sunlight to manufacture kugelblitz black holes. Since this process allows you to make more than just one micro black hole, you can make a few extra, plop them into Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, and get FOUR new mini-stars for the Solar System.

Not really, Jupiter's mass will keep being the same and its gravity should be the same so it would still protect us from meteors and other potential threatening events like that. I guess it eventually would turn his mass into energy and burn it up but it would take millions of years before that.

Anton Petrov did this simulation in Universe Sandbox. He kept copypasting Jupiters and adding additional mass to the original one. At 60 masses of original Jupiter he got to a brown dwarf, still not technically a star because it doesn't have nuclear reaction inside but it gets quite hot, around 1400 K. But he kept going... and at 78 it crossed the star threshold, became red dwarf and got lit.

Wait... forgot something. Moving a black hole is harder than creating a Kugelblitz Hole ( pointing extremely powerful LAZORS at a point so you create a singularity). And being able to create a Kugelblitz, as a civilization, is like having dominion over one of the most advanced concepts of power generation. The next thing being industrial antimatter production.

[@WillowHY]

There's just a few GIANT problems with this idea. On the first one, if we try to just add mass to Jupiter and hope it collapses into a star, that's hoping it doesn't have a significant amount of iron in it's core which would cause it to go nova. This is wrong: (As for the second idea: You're proposing using a micro black hole which evaporates VERY quickly due to Hawking radiation. The smaller the black hole, the faster it evaporates. I don't know the exact amount of time a black hole the width of a human hair would last, but it's only a few seconds.) Also, accretion disks put out a whole lot of gamma radiation. Way way more than our own sun does. IF you somehow manage to black holerize Jupiter, you'll be bathing all of it's moons in tons of gamma radiation. We here on Earth 'might' be okay, but when you're talking about converting that amount of mass into energy, I doubt it.

[@NinjaBearFilms]

You’re thinking of super microscopic black holes that can be created in a particle accelerator by two particles crashing into each other near the speed of light. Basically Hawking Radiation causes those to dissipate faster than they can pull in an air molecule right next to it. At the size he’s talking about it would be quite stable. Though enough people are mentioning it, I’m sure he’ll go into more detail in Footnotes.

[@WillowHY]

@@NinjaBearFilms You're right. I decided to actually do the math and found a black hole with 600 times the mass of the moon would probably outlive the universe several times over. Whoops.

Hey Kyle! Quick question...how do you think we would be able to capture a black hole if we can’t get anywhere close to it?...even if it was tiny, wouldn’t it have a strong gravitational pull which restricts us from approaching it? Or would we just use crazy future technology that allows us to do so? Btw love the show! Thanks -SK

[@Mernom]

We don't actually need to touch it. Pulling it with gravity is possible. The bigger problem is that there are probably no black holes that small naturally being created in this age. The only ones that might work are black holes that were created in the very early moments of the universe, but their existence is not confirmed, and their masses might not be compatible either.

I picture Jupiter as a star being one of those street lights at night that are on constantly and become annoying so you are forced to close all window shades in your house.

Also, would the gravitational pull shift as well or would that remain the same?

This Is the greatest because science episode ever. It would be amazing if we could do this.

[@adamwu4565]

If you're contemplated the "adding mass to Jupiter" method of making it into a star, the easiest source is probably the Sun. Starlift 80J masses out of the outer solar atmosphere and move it to Jupiter. Though, frankly, since you can just make a new star with that 80J mass material on its own, you can just move it to a convenient location somewhere in the outer solar system and make a new star there, and leave Jupiter alone.

[@ericgolightly8450]

That would probably mess up all the orbits though.

[@ffagilar2245]

Doesn't Jupiter block a lot of objects from hitting earth?

It may have probably blocked some ... but not all of them because it has to be in the right place at the right time and this is a lucky lottery.

[@sporemariomaster]

Yes however it also launches objects towards us. If it were to be replaced with a black hole this effect wouldnt change

[@DFloyd84]

Its gravity warps space so that stuff that might fly past it instead gets stuck following its orbit. There are millions of these objects getting pulled along by Jupiter's gravity that never had the chance to fall deeper into the solar system and threaten Earth.

[@EpicMathTime]

Even jupiter is like a speck in when compared to the area of its orbit, or the solar system as a whole. The odds of something hitting earth are tiny. The odds of something hitting jupiter or getting caught by jupiter's gravity that _would have_ hit earth is unfathomably small. Hell, even the sun is small compared to the area traced out by planetary orbits. We're really damn far away.
