Scientists say supermassive black hole spins fast enough to warp space-time



Scientists say Sagittarius A, a supermassive black hole 26,000 light years from Earth, spins so fast it warps the fabric of space-time around it. Astrophysicist Dr. Paul Sutter joins NBC’s Ellison Barber to explain the discovery.

  1. I flew by it once and its an amazing feat of nature.

  2. Thank you for taking the topic seriously! Far too often reporters act childish over science news and… worse.. act like regular folks do not know basic Astronomy. For example, as regular folks, space news is part of our family's daily news coverage. Even my youngest kid knows basic facts about Black Holes. Every day I gather science topics from YouTube and we watch as a family together after dinner. That is normal for all responsible parents.

  3. "W O W”, that is mind blowing! ! ! And to think; Virtually all we know about “Black Holes”, are MATH Projections! ! ! What in the name 
    of GOD, are these things, REALLY? ? ? ONE of the scarier projections is; Black Holes are the END of EVERYTHING! ! ! One guestimate
    today is; We “MAY” have found a way to move in space as fast as light, MAYBE even faster! ! ! BUT imagine flying at that speed right
    into a “Black Hole”, because you couldn’t see it? GEE, what kind of a warning system could they make, if your traveling at light speed?

  4. Study music. The cosmos will make more sense.

  5. Look how they dodge are we alone theory. Pathetic deepstate and their helpers the libturds

  6. 00:17, Did she say "even though it's a hole, it weighs a lot" 😂😂😂, does she thinks "black hole" means a hole in space 🤣🤣🤣

  7. Yall always play excited and miss the whole message.

  8. Basically bracing us for death caused by space.

  9. I thought we already knew black holes were spinning and that they warp space time

  10. Time is a human construct. It's just the fabric of space.

  11. Send Matthew McConoughey to it.

  12. We getting sucked in that why the yrs goin so fast

  13. Once in a star, existence wasn't so far, but it was silly.

  14. Some how, many of us already knew that. It’s a portal to another point.

  15. There is no such thing as space-time.

  16. We need that now. Maybe we can go back 3+ years when America was thriving!

  17. If not you know we can blay

  18. That's black hole is the multiverse

  19. Wow the bible talk about this

  20. Scientists say a lot of false stupid things–heres another one

  21. This title is idiotic. All black holes, even a theoretical black one with no spin would warp space-time. All massive bodies do. We tested it decades ago by sending radio waves near the sun and measuring how much they slow down from the sun's gravity. If you want to learn more about spinning black holes, check out PBS spacetime's video on naked singularities. It talks about the math of spinning black holes and asks if you could spin a black hole fast enough to expose the singularity

  22. It's interesting that the ancient Indians knew very well about this black hole, they called it moolah nakshatra and worshiped it in the form of the crushing destructive goddess, Niriti. 🙏

  23. This is great. This should be what is shown on the news! Real experts passionate about what they do.

  24. Yeah but what about UFOs?

  25. Watched 3X and still confused 🤔😅🤓🤓

  26. Once they said nasal I said he lying

  27. So we gone be 65 in a year ?

  28. Black holes are the exit points for information data of the simulation, white holes would be the entry point for the information data, aka the code of universe. This is why all physics breakdown when anything gets close and why it’s impossible for us to see what is on the other side.
