Could a massive cube collapse into a black hole?

Explore the extreme physics of density in this Numberphile feature. The video examines a theoretical cube of incredible mass and radius, investigating the point at which such a structure would likely collapse into a black hole.

As part of the MegaFavNumbers collaboration, this video explores the properties of a specific, massive number. The discussion, which included insights from Professor Mike Merrermfield, considers the physical implications of a cube containing such immense mass within its radius. The density required for such a structure is so great that it would, in all likelihood, undergo gravitational collapse to form a black hole.
