Sources & further reading:
The largest things in the universe are black holes. In contrast to things like planets or stars they have no physical size limit, and can literally grow endlessly. Although in reality specific things need to happen to create different kinds of black holes, from really tiny ones to the largest single things in the universe. So how do black holes grow and how large is the largest of them all?

For anyone talking about Phoenix A*, it isn't verified. The 100B number is a non-gravitational indirect estimate based on adiabatic gas-cooling models. It has an massive margin of error. TON 618 is still the highest directly measured, verified black hole (note that current TON 618 measurements place it at like 40.7 billion solar masses, so despite being indirect we have better data on it than on giants like Phoenix A*)
what about phoenix a?
I’m gonna make things more terrifying. The light we are seeing from Ton 618 is from around 10 billion years ago given the fact that Ton 618 was able to move with the expansion of the universe… this means that we are seeing what Ton 618 looked like 10 billion years ago… not what it looks like today.
To make matters even worse, Ton 618 has been dethroned. The largest known black hole now is Phoenix A, which is located in the center of the Phoenix cluster. It’s located around 5.8 billion light years away, and pretty decently outsizes TON-618
Black Hole so cool!
Please give the uncut version. I want to see it please.
You could say it weighs a ton
holy dooley, i knew black holes were trouble, but this is insanity
I don't think that's it. There could be a Super Duper Ultra Massive Black Hole lurking somewhere in the universe.
W Black Hole vid!
Black holes are not the biggest things in the universe the biggest thing in the universe is a filament
11:13
Phoenix A* would like to have a chat about this ranking.
Again, Phoenix A*'s 100-billion mass is just an indirect theoretical estimate from a 2016 model. TON 618 remains the actual heavyweight champion with confirmed, direct measurements.
I know I'm late to this video but what about phoenix A*
Bro why do I even go to work
ayo my boy saggy teris a1 the goat tbh
We got an boomer 0:55
Why are not Spanish subs on this video? It's been a long time and I still can not show it to my aunt 🤔
Just got this in my tl
Looks like you're not shadowbanned anymore
wait, 5 years ago??
What do you mean a small black hole orbiting THE TON 618
Now phoenix A is the largest black hole
And now the largest black hole is Phoenix A, which is so unfathomably big its got a mass of 100 BILLION SOLAR MASSES! That is so insane when I first heard about it I thought my brain was gonna break.
Interesting property of ultra massive black holes. The Schwartzchild radius of an object grows faster than its radius if you keep adding matter of the same density. This means that the larger a black hole, the less “dense” it is, which is the mass divided by the volume of the event horizon.
Primordial black holes are the mass of a mountain compressed into the size of a proton, but ultramassive black holes have the density of water.
Hate to say it but there is a black hole so so much bigger than Ton 618. The phoenix A blackhole is almost like 2 times the size.
