The Black Hole Tipping Point

The video tutorial explains the formation of black holes, emphasizing the need for high density and mass. It describes two paths: compressing a fixed mass or adding mass to an object. The Schwarzschild radius is introduced as a key concept, determining the point at which an object becomes a black hole. The video also covers the role of supernovae and neutron stars in black hole formation, highlighting the mathematical relationships between mass, radius, and density. Finally, it humorously suggests how a cat could theoretically become a black hole.
