I put 4 Million Suns in a Black Hole over New York

This is a video on the scale of Black Holes in the Universe. I've been making it for four months now so I'm really happy to finally get it out to everyone, I hope you enjoy it! Black Holes are fascinating and there's so much to say about them, from atoms to neutron stars, gravitational lensing, supermassive black holes, quasars, the secrets of the Universe even time travel. So I couldn't cover quite everything here, which means there will definitely be more on them in the future. It's also an area where we're still learning a lot so it's quite possible the largest black hole crown will go to another black hole soon, even bigger than the one in TON618.
Quick corrections and points to note:
I messed up one of the lines towards the end, I said TON618 has more mass than the entire Milky Way but I meant to say more mass than all the stars in the Milky Way. The Milky Way has a lot of hidden matter called dark matter which makes the galaxy incredibly heavy, a lot heavier than the stars.
Also the physicists out there might not be super happy with my description of gravity reaching out and grabbing things, technically it bends spacetime but I do try to balance how technical I am so everyone can appreciate it.
A few people have said Phoenix A is bigger than TON618 but as of February 2024 I think TON618 still has the crown, PhoenixA has been measured indirectly by a couple of different methods, one bigger than TON618 and one smaller. TON618 has been measured directly so is the more reliable black hole king… for now.

Otherwise, as I said at the end, thank you so much everyone for all the kind comments, I just hit 100k subscribers two days ago with 5 videos on my channel, I couldn't have gotten here without your support. I've had so many touching comments about how much the videos have meant to people and that really motivates me to keep trying to make this channel as different and special as I can make it.
I've got lots of plans for 2024 and will be making videos more regularly so thank you for being here, for believing in me, in the channel and I'm already looking forward to the next video.
Cheers,
Epic

@@tomraeymaekers3580 Current AI couldn't generate this level of detail, at least not in a way that would make sense. AI is not to the point you think it is if you think it's capable of this clearly human-made masterpiece. Current AI is certainly impressive in many ways, but not for highly detailed cinematic vfx generation as demonstrated in these Epic Spaceman videos. Maybe (big emphasis on the "maybe") in another decade or two with very expensive, cutting edge purpose-made tech, but definitely not now (it would also take additional years of development to train a competent AI to potentially match Epic Spaceman's vfx quality). If a current AI generated this it would be a sloppy incoherent mess of poorer quality graphics that would fail to convey any intelligible information.

I’m interested in Unreal for sure and have done some tests, I might move to it in the future, you’d be surprised how fast Blender can be though, I did one test render with ray tracing or path tracing and Blender was actually faster. It really depends on the scene, if you can use Lumen then definitely faster and you can build pretty much any sized scene with Nanite which is really the thing that entices me as I often make these absolutely massive sets.

It would be amazing to be alive in 10,000 years or 100,000,000,000 years to see what theories are billions of kilometers off or are just a lightyear off

[@kaerukun5340]

Wow thank you for this amazing video! That scale made it so much easier to comprehend the mind boggling sizes of the objects

[@davien21]

This is one of the best videos I’ve ever watched. It’s do good I’m gonna donate some money on patreon, and I’ve never done it. It’s really important that you keep making these

[@EpicSpaceman]

Thank you again, I’m so pleased you enjoyed it so much

[@SamMaki]

Fair play bro stood next to multiple black holes and didn't budge a muscle. Absolute stud

[@alexandregagne6577]

Dude! I've never seen videos of this quality anywhere on KZbin! I've been a 3d artists for 25 years and I see all the hard work you've put in just this video. Keep this up and you'll be at 1M subscribers in a few months! Subscribed of course! 😁

[@EpicSpaceman]

Thank you so much! Massively appreciate the support and perspective from someone with so much VFX experience, the last couple of years of learning while making has been hard but really rewarding and comments like this really motivate to keep heading down this path. Fingers crossed on the million and thanks for the sub too!

[@QMCSecurity]

I am absolutely amazed. My only regret is that it took me this long to find you. You are truly so inspiring and I love your work. If I may be so bold, I’d love to see a video where you explain the speed of light and the theory of relativity and all the awesome implications which are associated with it. I’d love to help your mission as well in any way I could. Thank you so much for inspiring me

[@DemonYucky]

Amazing work, just found out your channel through KZbin recommendations. Instant sub! This is the type of videos I dreamed of having when I was younger.

[@danielvaega]

No one has to tell you how hard you worked, or how great this is, or how novel, or how beautiful. No one NEEDS to tell you these things, but here I am, telling them to you, because you deserve to know how much brighter you’ve made all our lives for this video existing 🌌

[@nancyjo517]

I’ve seen A LOT of videos on this topic, but this one actually left my mouth hanging open. The way you broke it down & explained the scale of these monsters in a way that we could actually understand & visualize, instead of just throwing out these insane numbers that really mean nothing to use because we can’t comprehend them with our limited understanding of outer space from Earth…just amazing. The only problem I see for you in the foreseeable future is being able to crank these videos out quick enough to satiate your undoubtedly growing audience. I’ll be impatiently waiting. Excellent work.

[@AsaCarmona]

The way you manage to explain something as complex as a black hole in a way that it becomes understandable to everyone is amazing ! Also, it's impressive to see someone with such knowledge also beeing able to create such high quality videos. You're an inspiration ! Thank you !

[@wotenjoyer2777]

Today I was graced by this amazing video! Keep it up

[@wrs900]

No ai reading script and dull graphics seen time after time. Had to sub. Also the tom hiddleston vibes from voice was just spectacular imo

[@EpicSpaceman]

Thanks again! Yeah there’s a lot of not great and similar stuff out there, definitely trying to do something different, glad you’re enjoying that!

[@wrs900]

@@EpicSpaceman nah not just enjoying, this blew me away. Just spectacular presentation with enthusiasm. When you can notice somebody does something with passion, its just something else. Feels authentic and not quantity over quality. Im the one saying thank you!

[@SilentSamurai8]

Congrats on 100K but I still couldn’t believe you were not ALREADY larger when I first found the channel. The production in writing is on another level. Still, similar to your simulation, this “pen tip” size channel will definitely grow exponentially as you begin to post videos more regularly and “devour” those subscriptions. Cheers 🥂

[@EpicSpaceman]

Thank you! Hopefully I can get the channel to super-massive territory one day and make a scale video on the channel itself haha. For now I’m just super happy and motivated having comments like yours, amazing and personal feedback is better than any follower count.

[@rw2452]

Damn, I'm glad this came across my feed. I'm very impressed. He got himself another subscriber.

[@dalladymon]

Your work is incredible! Very enjoyable and super informative. Thanks for taking the time to do this!

[@ludovicmamet]

Man, I've wathed tons of content on the same topic, I did not learn one single new fact in the video, but the visualisation was on a whole other level! The animation of the black whole forming with 4 million stars was crazy! And even then you couldn't do it a scale if you think how long it really took and how spread out all the matter that ends up in it initially was... Your videos will change lives, don't stop!

[@01Peebee10]

The detail of this content is absolutely incredible. 100% just subscribed and I can't wait to check out more of your work.

[@marquionyt]

This may be the best KZbin video production ever. In terms of the amount of people behind this beautiful work. It’s only you who created this but somehow this is movie level quality and better looking then most big movie cgi. Beauty all around great work

[@EpicSpaceman]

Thank you! Massively appreciate the super supportive words and kindness!

Melodysheep is another space related channel with amazing production quality. But of course Melodysheep isn’t just a one man band.

Love the editing, looks so real! And great work on reaching the 100k milestone🎉

Thanks so much! It was a really big milestone for me!

Agreed, very cool production and visual effects.

Am I still in youtube???? Omg it felt like I'm in Imax theater here. You're amazing sir. Plus this is the only vid in youtube I disabled the "cc" because your voice is freeeeeakin amazing and clear! Thank you sir, thank you! 😢😢😢

[@drsuperhero]

Your animation and coordination with the animation is off the charts!

[@Adamant-D-Funk]

I've been watching You Tube for years and this is the first comment I have ever left a channel. Epic Spaceman I salute you. Your graphics are amazing and the way you explain the science alongside is nothing short of EPIC. My only criticism is that it takes so long for your wonderful videos to create. Thank you so much, good Sir.

[@joshs8273]

This was unbelievably impressive. I subscribed in the first 30 seconds. I’ve never seen quality of this caliber on KZbin. You’re a legend, brother.

Unreal quality! I have enjoyed it so much and wish to say a big thank you. It was a truly an amazing experience to watch your video.

[@cesarvalencia8457]

OMG!! I don't have enough words to describe how much I LOVED this video ❤️

[@albertomartin70]

Wtf! What was that!? First video and instantly better than every documentary I have ever seen! Even Brian Cox could not surpass you! I’m also an engineer and I noticed the level of detail and information gathered. No mistake seen here! Perfect! Glad I saw this in the earliest channel development!!! Amazing!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@imthatoneguyirl]

I can’t tell you how many nights I spent looking at the stars as a child, dreaming about all sorts of things I could barely understand. Your video brought back that innocent sense of wonder in a way that I haven’t felt in years. This was beautiful in every way (and ABSURDLY impressive for a one person project). I wish nothing more than for your continued success with the channel :)
