@blitzphd: Have you heard about the newly discovered star, S301? It's slightly old news, but I wanted to do it right! #space #physics #blackhole #lensethirring #explained

A star mass object flying at 8% of the speed of light, I didn't fucking evolve to comprehend anything like that 😭

Measuring a celestials objects speed in percentages of SOL is horrifying

I'm going to need you to post a reminder in like 9 years and 10 months. I don't want to miss this.

I often cant get over (in the good way) that blackholes went from “probably” to “heres a photo!” In my lifetime. Cant wait to learn whats next!

I know gravity probe b already pulled this off but having it done by telescopes and measurements is still a landmark moment in astronomical observation. I won’t rant about my theory today and just say that this is good news.

Does the fact that it completes 1 orbit in 8.7 earth years mean that that star is actually orbiting faster from its perspective due to time dilation being that close to the black hole?

What would happen to a star moving at 8% the speed of light?

You need something called "To sum up..." at the end of your video. It would ready more people who can't keep up :p

I think that some company should make official watches to be used by astronauts and call it the Space Time.

I wonder about the stress that star gets when it is moving at at speeds close to 0.1c, and that close to Supermassive Black Hole

what is their rate of time on this star relative to earth?

Hey Blitz, I have a question Is it possible for objects to reach 100% the speed of light? And if not, what % of the speed of light can an object hypothetically reach?

why doesn't that star get torn apart by the black hole when travelling so close? is there anything special about that star that protects it or would the sun also be fine if it did the same?

Why did we assume a rotation of the gravitational well? I may be mistaken but i understood that we made calculations with rotating back holes and non rotating. So does rotation get confirmed by this? Or was there evidence before this?
