What If a Black Hole Hits the Earth? — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00If a black hole [music] the exact size
- 0:01of a golf ball struck the Earth
- 0:02tomorrow, it would not destroy us
- 0:04instantly. It would be infinitely more
- 0:06terrifying. Most people assume that any
- 0:09black hole would immediately swallow our
- 0:10planet in a massive cosmic explosion.
- 0:13But according to quantum cosmology, the
- 0:15universe is full of microscopic
- 0:17primordial black holes. If one of these
- 0:19tiny invisible monsters collided with
- 0:21Earth, it wouldn't crush us on impact.
- 0:24Instead, its immense gravity would allow
- 0:26it to shoot straight through the crust
- 0:27and sink directly into the Earth's core.
- 0:30Astrophysicists consider this the
- 0:32ultimate cosmic parasite. Once trapped
- 0:34inside, it would slowly and silently
- 0:36begin to consume our entire planet from
- 0:38the inside out. But here is the most
- 0:40chilling reality of this theoretical
- 0:42nightmare. We would have absolutely no
- 0:44[music] idea it was even there. It could
- 0:46take thousands of years for the
- 0:47microscopic anomaly to hollow out our
- 0:49world. Right now, [music] as you watch
- 0:51this, there could be a tiny black hole
- 0:53silently eating the core of the Earth.
- 0:55The only [music] warning humanity will
- 0:57ever get is the day the ground collapses
- 0:59beneath our feet into absolute darkness.
