Cosmos:elementary | Black holes are less dense than water? What? @Cosmos_elementary | Uploaded December 2019 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
“Supermassive black holes’ density is lower than density of water”. Sometimes people are confused with statements like this one. How can that be if black holes are thought to be the densest objects is the Universe? We are going to figure it out in this video.
