The Black Hole Tipping Point #SaturdayMorningCartoons

via Minute Physics

This video is about the Schwarzschild radius of a black hole, (its “event horizon”), and how much mass and density is required to reach the point of no return where an object like a star, neutron star, red giant, etc will collapse into a black hole singularity. You can calculate it yourself using just the volume equation for a sphere, and the equation for the Schwarzschild radius (and knowing the speed of light and Newton’s gravitational constant).
