========== Hey, Vsauce. Michael here. And today we are
going to go inside a black hole. It's notgoing to be comfortable, but it will be pretty

if you were to compress it into a small enoughspace. That's right, you, me, this camera -
everything in the unvierse has what is knownas a "Schwarzschild radius." A tiny, tiny amount
of space that, were you to collapse the entiremass of the object into, its density would
be so great that its gravitational pull wouldbe so great that not even light could escape
from it. You would have a black hole.If you were to compress Mount Everest into
something smaller than a nanometer, you wouldhave a black hole. And if y...
