Could Black Holes Be Stars Inside Stars? A New Theory Says Yes.mp4

Amaze Lab

There’s still a whole lot we don’t know about black holes and that goes double for the supermassive variety. They can be billions of times the mass of our Sun and many were created when the universe was in its infancy, meaning there weren’t any stars big enough to collapse into such large behemoths. Now, physicists have a new theory about what they are and it could change everything.

00:07variety they can be billions of times the mass of our sun and many were created when the universe

00:12was in its infancy meaning there weren't any stars big enough to collapse into such large behemoths

00:17a big problem with black holes is that physics as we know it sort of breaks down when applied

00:21to their mysterious workings however a new take on an old equation might just help us better

00:26understand how black holes work previously things break down because of enough mass is in a small

00:31enough area gravity will squish it down into an even smaller area but what happens after that

00:36well we don't really have the math to back it up a hypothesis to explain it was incepted back in 2001

00:42where physicists suggested a gravitational condensate star or gravistar could occur it's a hypothetical

00:47cosmic object consisting of a thin layer of matter compressed to extreme thinness and inflated with

00:53dark energy which is also still technically hypothetical gravistars would essentially

00:57appear to us as black holes all while circumventing paradoxes in physics that's because the new theory

01:03suggests there could be another gravistar inside that one effectively creating what they like into
