The host of the YouTube show "Game Theory" sets out to debunk the Pokémon series' Pokedex entries, starting with Gardevoir's ability to create small black holes. The host explains the science behind black holes, including their formation, gravity, and Hawking radiation. They conclude that Gardevoir's ability to create a small black hole is either useless due to its immediate evaporation or catastrophic if it were to create a stable black hole, which would destroy the Earth. The host also points out that Gardevoir is supposedly immune to gravity, making its ability to create black holes even more nonsensical. The video ends with the host announcing a new series, "Debunk the Dex," where they will analyze and debunk more Pokedex entries.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. The Pokedex is a pocket encyclopedia that educates young trainers about Pokémon.
2. The Pokedex contains information about Pokémon that may be inaccurate or incomplete.
3. The narrator is starting a series to debunk the myths and lies in the Pokedex, starting with Gardevoir.
4. Gardevoir's Pokedex entry claims it has the power to create a small black hole.
5. Black holes are regions of space-time where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape.
6. Black holes are not actually black, but rather invisible, as they absorb all light and radiation.
7. Black holes can be formed when a massive star collapses or when subatomic particles are mashed together.
8. The Large Hadron Collider is a machine that smashes subatomic particles together to study their properties.
9. Scientists have confirmed that particle collisions can form black holes, but they are extremely small and short-lived.
10. Hawking radiation is a phenomenon where black holes emit radiation, causing them to lose mass and eventually evaporate.
11. A black hole with the mass of the moon would be microscopic, but still incredibly dense.
12. If a black hole were created with the mass of the moon, it would be affected by Earth's gravity and would fall towards the center of the planet.
13. The Earth's crust would be destroyed by the intense heat and pressure generated by a black hole at its center.
14. According to the Pokedex, Gardevoir does not feel the pull of gravity, making it immune to the effects of a black hole.
15. The narrator is recording the video in a hotel room in New Zealand under a desk covered in blankets at 2:00 in the morning.
