      Haven't looked at the paper, but it is a decent enough idea. Primordial black holes are a legit possibility, and if they exist then it is possible our solar system could have grabbed one. The bit about it being surrounded by dark matter is also a legit idea already in the literature, but it is a bit more wishful imo. That's because if primordial black holes exist then it seems likely that they simply *are* dark matter themselves, so there wouldn't be any other dark matter to self-annihilate into gamma rays. Which is sad for this scenario, because it would mean that this tiny black hole was basically impossible to observe.

      The only reason blackholes, dark matter and dark energy exist is because theoretical physicists needed extra energy to explain the movements of galaxies, they are constrained with gravity being the strongest force in the universe. On the other hand plasma cosmology already has explanations of observed phenomenon because they regard electricity as the strongest force, a force technically trillions of times stronger than gravity. The safire project has experimental evidence for the electric model of stars, theoretical physics using the standard model have no experimental evidence. when it comes to black holes they have basically divided a huge number by zero and are constantly dumbfounded by new observations already predicted by the electric model!

      Elwyn R yeah except the CMB is an observable thing, not explainable by plasma cosmology, which means the Big Bang must have happened, which means Einstein’s theory of general relativity is accurate, which means the conclusion of black holes must be, too. Same for dark matter. There are several explanations for dark energy but the term is a blanket term for all of them. We’ve seen and studied black holes. Therefore current plasma cosmology theories must be wrong.

    • @elwynr1108
      @elwynr1108 5 років тому +1

      @@adamcawa The theory/hypothesis of the big bang has been questioned by many astrophysicists. For example.
      Halton Arp’s paper “Companion Galaxies on the Ends of Spiral Arms” was submitted to the prestigious Astrophysical Journal. The paper shows an active spiral galaxy NGC 7603 with its companion attached by a bridge of matter to a spiral arm. The redshift of the larger galaxy is 8,700 km/sec and the smaller, 17,000 km/sec. According to the redshift-distance equation, the companion galaxy should be a far-distant background object with no possible connection to NGC 7603. Since then, two small quasars with far more discordant redshifts have been found in the bridge. And in another celebrated instance, a supposedly distant quasar has been found in front of an opaque, much nearer galaxy.
      So if Arp and others are right and the Big Bang is dead, the simplest answer as to what the Cosmic Microwave Background signifies is that it represents the natural microwave radiation from electric current filaments in interstellar plasma local to the Sun.
      Radio astronomers have mapped the interstellar hydrogen filaments by using longer wavelength receivers. The dense thicket formed by those filaments produces a perfect fog of microwave radiation-as if we were located inside a microwave oven. Instead of the Cosmic Microwave Background, it is the Interstellar Microwave Background.
      That makes sense of the fact that the CMB is too smooth to account for the lumpiness of galaxies and galactic clusters in the universe.
      So, in reality, there is no temperature fluctuation from the earliest days of the universe. There is no CMB and there is no anti-gravity accelerating matter in the distant cosmos to almost the speed of light. Birkeland currents flowing through plasma in mega-parsec filaments ignite the stars and form spinning galactic pinwheels as far out as our instruments can see.
      The widely lauded "photograph" of a black hole exactly resembles a plasmoid, something expected in an electric universe.
      The Electric Universe theory does not rely on unseen and undetectable matter whose existence can only be inferred. It does not violate its own gravitational cosmology by inventing an anti-gravity force so that galactic acceleration can be explained. Instead, EU theory states that what we see in the universe is what we get. The electric currents flowing through ionized gas and dust provide the energy for the stars and present themselves in straightforward and understandable ways without resorting to arcane sophistry

For a lump of mass to gravitationally collapse into a black hole/singularity, it has to Have enough mass for there to be enough gravity to do so, otherwise it would just evaporate, like the micro black holes created in the Large Hadron Collider. I do not believe in these "Small" black holes. They are just a quirk of math (when was the last time you saw a negative amount of anything, which is a math standard).

Another similarity being the near impossibleness of imaging a black hole by itself, due to it being literally absorbing all light. my hypothesis is that most of what we call dark matter may be numerous "primordial" black holes.

Jupiter is close to being as massive as this black hole so we can use it to compare. Imagine the size of Jupiter, if you go to it’s surface you experience the normal gravity of a planet of that mass. Now turn it into a black hole and it will be around 9cm across like mentioned in the video, you are still standing at the original surface of Jupiter which means you are now about 6000km from the black hole but still experiencing 11 times earth gravity due to its mass, that alone is enough to crush you and you will be so far away from the tiny black hole that you will have no idea what’s happening, the tidal forces will only get stronger as you get closer.

      Astronomers are just as capable of "unconventional" thinking as the rest of us. Fortunately, they know when to keep the craziest ideas to themselves.

    I like to think that primordial black holes drag worm tunnels behind them that connect to all the others around the universe by routes as short as they were at the start of the universe. That is to say, very short tunnels. I imagine that aliens herded that tunnel entrance here to get access to the earth when they first started gardening here a few billion years ago.

    I remember back in the 80s and 90s hearing about a potential "Planet X". And then I heard that the idea of Planet X was largely debunked. And now that Pluto is no longer a planet, I've been hearing about Planet 9. Is Planet 9 just a renumbered Planet X, or is this something somehow significantly different?

      If you're talking about Nibiru then it was a supposed 10th planet that would collide with Earth, but there is no evidence for something like that. The proposed Planet 9 would have an orbit far beyond Neptune which would be why we never managed to detect it. It was hypothesized because certain far away objects had orbits that were aligned with each other in a way that is improbable to have happened on its own, so some researchers hypothesized that there might be a planet that influences them gravitationally.

      @@tomshraderd4915 Nope, not talking about Niburu. This was a proposed tenth planet beyond Pluto that was proposed to explain some discrepancies in Neptune's orbit. This was supposedly debunked when ...one of the Voyagers, I forget which... determined that Neptune was more massive than thought, which supposedly explained the discrepancies. But a lot of what I hear about the properties of Planet Nine sound an awful like the properties of Planet X.

      I'm on a proper keyboard now, so I can type better (was on my phone for the last reply). What I remember from "Planet X" from back in the 80s was it was hypothesized to be an object several times more massive than the Earth (but less massive than the gas giants) significantly farther out of Pluto's orbit and, most memorably, on an angle that was 30-ish degrees off the ecliptic plane. But as I said, that was supposedly debunked when Voyager discovered Neptune was more massive than previously expected.
      Except now we are looking for Planet Nine (or a black hole) that is... several times more massive than the Earth but less massive than the gas giants, on an orbit farther out than Pluto's, and possibly in an orbit that could be 30-ish degrees off the ecliptic plane.
      Maybe I'm misunderstanding Planet Nine, or maybe I'm mis-remembering Planet X, but to me, they sound an awful lot alike. But there could be something fundamentally different about them that I'm not aware of.

      ​@@JasonCorfman Planet X was hypothesized by Percival Lowell because he thought Uranus' orbital wobble couldn't be explained by Neptune alone because he didn't do his math right. Clyde Tombaugh claimed Pluto was Planet X, but other scientists cast increased doubt on this when Pluto kept turning out to be too small to affect another planet's orbit. When Voyager 2 came to Neptune, it remeasured its mass, and when the correct mass was plugged into Lowell's equation, the discrepancies in Uranus' orbit disappeared. Planet X does not exist.
      That "Tenth Planet" was Eris before the dwarf planet classification was established.
      Some researchers have proposed a Mars-sized object between Neptune and Planet Nine, but this is not well-supported.
