    First off, you can’t.

    A nuke is a device. By the time it approached the event horizon, the gravitational tidal forces would rip it to pieces. There would be no functioning device. Actually it is not even accurate to say it would rip it to pieces. What the black hole would do is convert the nuke into a stretched-out string of individual particles, before sucking it all the way to the inner part of the black hole, where those incredibly super-fried particles would just then merge with the massively dense singularity at its core. So. Nothin would happen, explosion-wise.

    Second off, even it you could explode the bomb, as the video explains, it would be meaningless.

    Black holes have been spotted sucking in the material of entire stars.That doesn’t alter it, that just adds to it. All the entire star does is add to the mass of the black hole. One little nuke is nothing compared to an entire star.
