Weirdness: The Moon in Majora's Mask Probably Has a Black Hole Inside, Because Science

These videos are always entertaining stuff.

as for the vid... eh still random thing he through out there but i find it weird how he didnt mention that his mouth could be the black hole itself?

lol? I click the video and it starts at 7:20

my issues is how was this mcreated, and we're assuming that the planet has the same density as earth. this is the smallest Zelda game ever created, and there is no known size of links planet, but what if link is not on his planet. What if the skullkid teleported link in the intro scene too his world a small moon of links home planet. This would explain away the theory that the moon is a black hole just because if the outside shell of a black hole were rock it should be sucked past the event horizon. Also a black hole the size you theriozed would be immensely hot, would it not?

No it doesn't; it has a big grassy field with a lone tree and 5 kids playing around it.

Science is always awesome.

I think the video was linked after having been viewed; it starts at 7:20 as he's signing off.

Now I'm not arguing with his math, but the fact that Link goes inside the moon already crushes this theory. The moon isn't falling because science, it's falling because a malevolent mask is pulling it down. Magic is already involved with its appearance so it doesn't need a black hole to stay intact, it just uses the magic. Applying science to games is one thing but when there's magic involved, science goes out the window.

I think the moon is too small to have a black hole in it. Besides, a black hole would have destroyed it anyway.

Forget science. When magic is involved, all logic is thrown out the window

Where's Jesse Pinkman when you need him.

If there was a black hole inside it the moon would have been destroyed before Link got there and Majora's Mask would have became a OOT rehash, a game that I already don't like.

I think the moon might actually be magic. If it was just a black hole there wouldn't be the gap in the teeth...or a face on it because everything would be pulled into it in a more perfect sphere. Further evidence of my theory is that there is a giant empty space with a grass field and tree inside it. I admit my theory sounds crazy but magic could possibly exist in the Zelda universe.

To all those saying the moon would be destroyed by the black hole - not necessarily. It would depend in the size if the singularity. If the sun were to turn into a black hole the Earth would not get sucked inside - it would continue to orbit just like it does with the sun. The gravity well only increases as you move closer to the event horizon. If the black hole in Majors's moon were hollow with a micro singularity at it's core it could survive. As for how one could form - particles colliding at high enough energies can overcome the exclusion principle and form the singularity - however singularities that are too small will dissipate quickly due to Hawking radiation.
But magic mask seems more likely...

Guys, the inside of the moon is just empty space.

Dear NintendoLife:

You request that we not use ad blocker while visiting your site, since it reduces your revenue and makes it harder to continue running the site. Fair enough.

However, while trying to watch these videos and enjoy the content that you make available, I have repeatedly been interrupted by audio from the video ads you allow on your site which rudely start themselves up and play at the most inconvenient times, requiring me to close out of your site and view the videos elsewhere so I can enjoy them properly.

Video ads are one of the most annoying types of ads on the planet, and the reason that so many people turn to ad blockers for relief. Please visit sites like Penny Arcade and GMail to see how ads can be done correctly, and without forcing themselves into viewers' lives and making us want to find ways to kill them. Then you will continue to get your revenue, and we will be happier with your site.

That is all.

The moon with the face in majoras mask has a black hole inside of it because of science...WHY YOU DO THAT SCIENCE haha

Well that, plus it looks eerily similar to the asteroids in Star Fox (snes) which you shoot to reveal a black hole during the Asteroid Belt level.

Really PBS? I know you need money from "viewers like us" but trying to make science "interesting" for gamers so we would donate, it's kind of dumb and trying to explain why something in a game with faeries, magical masks, walking tree creatures and drowned kids is even dumber. This better be an April Fool's joke. If you want to make videos about science in video games, why don't you explain why the Atari 2600 seems to display more colors than the NES or the MD/Genesis or how motion controls work or something like that? You know, real science.
If this keeps up, they are gonna try to explain why Yoshi is a dinosaur that can talk, why Bowser spits fire, why Princess Peach floats or why a cartridge of dynamite can blow a bridge but won't kill the Coyote, all with science.
If things that happen in video games or cartoons were possible, the science that would try to explain it would be very different to begin with.
I challenge them to apply videogame or cartoon physics to explain something that happens in real life, for example, why would a man die from radiation instead of becoming green if we'd have the same physics and physiology as in the Marvel universe.
It's just dumb. If video games were supposed to be possible in the real world, we'd have life bars floating in our heads instead of blood. You should explain with science why things in fiction don't happen in the real world, not why they happen in fiction.
