If we were able to pull off that kind of a trick, we would probably be advanced enough so that we wouldn't have to do that.

A couple of points come to mind watching this. 1) you talked about capturing a black hole and moving it. I think it would be simpler to just create one where we need it. 2) getting rid of Jupiter's magnetic field. Don't Black Holes also have strong magnetic fields of their own? Or would the field not reach far enough to matter because of how small the black hole we need is?

Kyle is getting out of control, now he wants to vaporize Jupiter just to read at night? Someone needs to stop this lunatic.

Missed the opportunity to use Black Hole Sun as the title. I'm disappointed Kyle.

You seem like a modern day Bill Nye and I love it. Some of the questions that you ask on your channel are so out there but you approach it so scientifically. I find myself asking the same questions from time to time but never had the background or resources to do research into it. Glad to have someone who not only does the big legwork but is able to talk about it in approachable and understandable ways. Keep it coming!

Hey Kyle, loved the video as always, and I know it's a bit late to comment on it, but I think it would be super important for you to do a video about the rainforest being burned. It's possible effects on the world - our world- if it's totally destroyed, as well as tipping points for it's self destruction cycle.
