Alternatively the plasma just doesn't radiate away its heat due to some reason or another.

[@anactualspider6413]

Suprise spaghettifacation! Perhaps instead of having a black hole in the hilt, it instead creates a Einstein-Rosen bridge that has an exit near a black hole. So when the "blade" is powered, it just opens the door to the gravity, allowing it to come through. Also, in the past you conjectured that opposing magnetic fields is what allowed light sabers to interact with each other. How would a dark and light saber interact with each other? At any rate, if there exists an accretion disk, there exists an abundance of gamma and X rays being emitted from them. So, suprise cancer too, I guess.

Saameon Williams according to Wookiepedia, the blade actually has a black hole effect, being able to pull nearby object towards it, and that the aura around the blade is simply highly compressed photons as they are forced into the blade, their energy once in the blade is converted to sound, hence the blade making a higher pitched sound than any other. The flatness is explained away as being that the emitter is a line, and the emitter stretches the energy beam within the hilt to fit outside, so the blade is completely flat. The kyber crystals within the SW universe are extremely small, and so fitting in the colour crystal and focusing crystals would be easy even with the odd shaped hilt

Ok, so I did some research and I found out that what's much more viable than a 'black hole sword' is just a regular lightsaber that contains an invisible plasma (like the kind we see in the ITER plasma in the Korean tokamak KSTAR (you can read about it on their website)) the plasma here is a blistering 150 million °C, and it isn't even visible because it simply doesn't emit light in the visible spectrum. Maybe the Darksaber is some kind of hyper advanced form of this? Idk, just seems more practical to me 🤷‍♂️ I realize there are a lot of logistical hiccups with this idea too, but I'm just throwing it out there. Keep scienceing!

[@sykens587]

humans don't emmit light in the visible spectrum, yet we don't all look like darksabers

[@joshuawolfsohn832]

Also in the canon it appears that this particular blade appears this way to every species regardless of what part of the EM spectrum they can perceive.

[@travisholloway3792]

Since all visible light lies within the full electromagnetic spectrum and our weak primitive eyes only see visible 'white' light, it would be perfectly plausible for a darksaber to appear invisible or dark to most species. If the darksaber is truly stronger and hotter than the normal blue Jedi lightsabers, then it could just be operating at much higher frequencies in the Ultra-Violet, X-ray, & Gamma Ray ranges. Any atmosphere near the blade might give off a faint indigo or ultra-violet corona around the blade. In fact, the darksaber might actually go completely invisible in space or without atmosphere and glow brighter when it is swung through the air as bits of oxygen around the saber are superheated...

[@zer0sense231]

Kyle, first I would like to say that I have watched your show for a long time and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I am currently in college as a physics major and have thought of a couple of ways to make the dark saber work though they aren't as cool as your hypothesis with the Black Hole Blade. The first way is that super black substances and objects, such as vanta black, can absorb massive amounts of radiation such a light and convert it to heat. Combined with a super strong magnetic field that is opposite to the traditional lightsaber, for the attraction effect (though not really useful unless you can change it instantly), it might be able to absorb enough radiation to turn the air around it's edge into a plasma, which allows for the unusual shape. The second way is more likely. The mandelorians may have been able to create a super bright plasma that makes the center of the saber appear black. This effect is observed when looking at bright lights, objects around the light appears black or dissapears entirely. That's just my two cents though.

[@zhascha]

I like your style.

[@joethestrat]

I think clashing with "regular" ( >.< ) Lightsabers may become a problem for your lightsaber designs though. I mean, assuming we're even accurately characterizing how "regular" Lightsabers actually work... which... um... I mean at that point, like Kyle said "because science..." your designs are just as valid lmao Because none of it is valid, y'know?

[@Kevrik]

Completely agree with your second hypothesis and actually expanded a bit on it on possible mechanical mechanisms behind how to do it but for the first wouldn't that require producing a physical center to even suspend a dispersion of the super black substance? Also, the attraction your talking about would cause problems even if you could change it instantly as the field would then pull the other blade into the super black suspension destroying the material

[@zer0sense231]

So to elaborate a bit more on the first hypothesis I thought of using maybe an extendable interlocking plates made of graphene and carbon nanotube. This would allow the blade to be light and durable. The carbon nanotubes would provide structural stability and be the super black coating I mentioned ,vanta black. You could then run magnetic fields around the edge of the blade. By switching the polarity instantly you could attract the opponents saber to yours and then switch back to create a repealing effect instead keeping the blades from coming into contact with each other, which would also allow the user to strike the enemy without the darksaber being attracted to the lightsaber when reposting. I could be overestimating the effectiveness of the materials though so you would need a more science fiction material to take their place.

[@Rwdphotos]

The second thing just sounds like differences in exposure latitude that would depend on the sensitivity range of your equipment than an actual event.

[@fresshwater]

so a purple lightsaber?

[@davidwilliams5497]

Hey Kyle, great video as always. How about this as a way to make the darksaber work: Instead of the blade being made of extremely large amounts of mass a la a black hole, what if the blade is dark due to the absence of any radiation? Imagine a blade capable of reducing the gases in it to absolute zero (kinda the opposite to the way a regular light saber heats a set of gases to plasma). The heat removed from the gas would need to go somewhere. I propose this heat is channeled along the same magnetic fields as a regular light saber to create the heat needed for cutting, thus giving the glow to the dark saber. The absence of heat, in addition to some form of magnetic field shielding the gases inside, should create a black saber. Any photons entering the saber would lose all their energy and be absorbed, turning into the heat energy along the edge of the weapon. This also would mean that the air near the exposed, extremely cold gas would condense, creating a slight fog around the blade. The reflected photons from the helical bands of magnetic fields carrying the heat would light this condensed vapor in a glow around the dark portions of the blade. Obviously, this solution has the problem of what happens when the blade passes through something, but if the heat along the magnetic fields is sufficient to vaporize the material it touches, the blade itself should pull the heat from that vapor in a feedback loop. My math skills aren’t near strong enough to determine the feasibility of such a device, but it sounds like it might be more feasible than a black hole blade.

[@scyberclops]

Actually, doesn’t work that way because once you get to negative Kelvin It produces heat that is hotter than any positive temperature no. I know it’s weird, but that’s what happens and that’s why dark matter/dark energy works that way. Anyway that’s what I put in my comment, the actual science behind it

Hey Kyle, love the show! I think you might have fun with a couple ideas here: 1) you mentioned in the video about standard lightsabers that they're composed of a few grams of plasma; how long could you stretch a couple grams in a cylindrical black hole? 2) sometimes in physics, things can be "effectively infinite" without going to infinity; how long would you have to make a cylindrical black hole for it to have an "effectively infinite" length? Is there an ideal "length to width" ratio for black holes to manage effectively infinite lengths such that we might be able to relate size of black hole to mass, something akin to the schwarzschild radius but for cylinders? If those turn out to be questions that either can't be answered or can't be answered easily, that's fine, but I figure they're at least worth going through! Thanks for all you do, man; you're totally rad fam! (that's how the kids these days talk right)

[@adrienbrandejsky4680]

Hi Kyle, love the show! One quick observation: if the light emitted by a lightsaber was simply due to the heat of its plasma as dictated by Wien’s law, then you could not have all the colours that we see in the movies. You could only add up the colours from the large wavelength end of the spectrum to the smaller wavelength end i.e. red, orange, yellow then white and eventually blue for the hottest plasma. In the same way there are no green stars, there could not be green lightsaber. Therefore lightsaber colour has to be due to some other mechanism such as the photons emitted from transitions in energy levels.

@Mihails Akulenkovs But that equation simply describes which points belong to the sphere and which don't. It is ultimately a semantics question, but at least I was always taught in geometry (and this might be different outside of Portugal) That a sphere is to the spherical surface what the circle is to the circumference. A sphere is a 3d object. The spherical surface is the 2d shape. It's in the name, it's a surface As for calculating volume, the fact that the equation shows r^2 is irrelevant to that. That is simply the product of following many pyhtagorean theorem calculations one after the other. Notice how both the spherical surface and the sphere exhibit r^2. The change is in one being an equation and the other an inequation. Similarly, both the circle and circumference exhibit r^2, the first in an equation ( (x-xc)^2 + (y-yc)^2 = r^2 ) and the second in an inequation. You could go to the nth dimension, and still, you would have r^2. ( (a-ac)^2 + (b-bc)^2 + ... + (z-zc)^2 = r^2)

Hey Kyle, love the show. However there are a few other problems with a black hole sword. Assuming it has a Mass of 1.5kg (a rough average for a European Longsword) and using a calculator I found online (because I'll admit I don't know the math) you wind up with a black hole with some... Exciting characteristics. Specifically the black hole would have a lifetime of approximately 2.837424e-16 seconds, reach a temperature of 8.181355e+22 Kelvin (not degrees, Kelvin is an absolute scale!) and achieve a peak luminosity of 1.583752e+26 megawatts. So, on the one hand, you'd go to activate the darksaber and wind up in the middle of a rapidly expanding shock front of problems. On the other hand, smuggling one in so someone could activate it would be a really quick way to cripple the Jedi Order.

[@HunterSentinel]

I like to think it’s dark matter energy. A reverse polarity plasma that’s generated. This would possibly explain the attraction to other lightsabers. It could also just be a mandalorian iron crystal.

[@Rwdphotos]

You basically just described the radioactive decay of an extremely (relatively) large atomic nucleus, and the temp is pretty close to absolute zero if it’s correct (why would the temp be so low with that amount of luminosity?). Sounds like it would be a decent flashbang more than anything.

Firstly, the Darksaber is easily the coolest lightsaber in Star Wars.

I love this channel for attempting to bring some science to science fiction. Great video! Second, I recently watched a pretty interesting video on a micro "cold plasma" jet that can be used to sterilize surfaces without being hot. I think it was the plasma channel or something like that.

[@tay012]

I was waiting the for a “Surprise-Darksaber” joke...

[@yourewrong9028]

Ok, here’s my explanation: Obviously, there’s a lot of gravity Manipulation tech in Star Wars. They use artificial gravity on their ships, and there’s even one Poe Cameron comic where a satellite in-orbit amplifies the gravity on a planetoid. Poe and co. Have to wear special belts that reduce the gravity so they can still move normally. So, if we wanted, we could say that the gravity Manipulation allows the shape of gravitational interaction to be shaped like a long blade rather than a sphere (stronger attraction down the length of the blade, weaker otherwise). In addition, they could also use this sort of “Gravitic containment” to make sure people aren’t instantly killed as soon as the blade is turned on. And bingo. We have an ok explanation that allows for black hole sword. I just really want a black hole sword.

[@thehollowlingwin]

I can dig this explanation, although I will say kinda brilliant that because of the gravitation towards lightsabers actually should make it easier for non force users to use the thing to block lightsabers

I think that a dark saber blade could be made of negative particles caused by the Casimir Effect, the same particles are also responsible for Hawking radiation. The hilt would do some sort of something to separate the negative particles from the positive particles before they snap out of existence and transfer the negative particles to the “blade” (no idea how it would keep its shape but eh) and transfer the positive particles out somewhere. Since these negative particles are less than nothing, anything they would come in contact with would cease to exist, allowing the blade to cut through anything. And no energy or mass would be lost, considering that the positive particles from earlier would continue to exist. The blade would most likely still look black because when light hits the blade it would cease to exist. And the glow and heat could be explained by the emitted positive particles which are in the form of photons. This in the end still doesn’t solve everything, but I think it clears a lot of the impossibilities of a black hole blade. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk

If the dark Sabre were indeed a black hole, there is a mechanism that exists within the Star Wars universe that could potentially allow someone to use this weapon, and you even mentioned it in your Outro. In Star Wars, the ships that they use have full normal gravity. This isn’t achieved by rotation, but by some kind of technology that allows the manipulation of gravity directly. Presumably, they would have discovered the mechanism by which gravity works, such as the proposed Gravitons, and be able to manipulate them in a variety of ways. Which means they would very likely have the ability to increase or decrease the strength of gravitational fields, at least on a small scale. This likely explains how their ships of such odd shapes but obviously high masses aren’t crushed by the gravity on a planet, and also explains how they can lift off from the gravity wells of planets with such ease, and could perhaps explain their faster than light travel capabilities. Now, if the Dark Sabre were indeed composed of black holes, or more likely, a chain of black holes lined up and locked in place by magnetic fields such that their event horizons overlapped, then all someone would have to do in that situation is incorporate some form of anti-gravity shielding into their blade or perhaps their armour, to mitigate the effects of the gravity from the black holes. I do see another potential problem though if this is true. Such a blade would never be able to be turned off, like a normal light sabre, because the black holes would be released to cause damage. If they were particularly small kugelblitz black holes, then turning off the blade would cause the black holes to violently explode, destroying everything in the area.

I have a few things to fix here: 1. The heaviest swords used in combat are Zweihanders which weighted closer to 4.5 KG, the 7KG you talk about is most likely a ceremonial sword aka a big fancy stick and not a weapon. 2. The source of a Lightsaber energy isn't "Plasma" or "Something" it's called a "Kyber Crystal".

The theory I love is that the blade is flat rather than cylindrical, as it appears to be, and the electromagnetic field prevents it from cutting on the flat of the blade, meaning it only emits light along the cutting edge.
