    It's worth remembering that the idea of a black hole collapsing into a singularity is just one theory. All we know is that there's a region of space from which nothing can escape. Most models predict an infinitely dense singularity, but it's quite possible there's matter of very high density.

      I can’t help imagining it as a kind of neutron star or whatever next step, I still think of it almost like a sun, but with so much gravity light gets stuck around it and eventually gets added onto the mass of the sphere but I can’t imagine it as an actual hole leading somewhere it just feels intuitively wrong. Like a black sun that light and matter can’t escape and it’s gravity field from being so dense is so strong it rips apart matter and reintegrates it into the black sun and that’s why it gets bigger and bigger. Instead of shining out like our sun it’s shining in because the gravity won’t let the light escape.

      Italian language lesson: you say "panino" to indicate you're having ONE sandwich; the "o" at the end of a word indicates it's singular. Panini connotates more than one; the i at the end of Italian words indicates plurality, as in bambini, cannoli, molti, etc. So, unless you're having more than one panino, please don't say "...this panini..." Buon appetito.

    I understand that eventually,in some cases, a star can burn it's fuel supply completely and leave behind nothing but a "cinder'. What would this cinder be made of? I find it difficult to imagine anything other than sooty carbon, but i'm guessing a star is a bit different than a fire pit.

    • @cykkm
      @cykkm Рік тому

      Of course, stars aren't literally burning, like wood burns in air's oxygen. Stars fuse nuclei of lighter atoms into heavier ones in their cores. “Cinder” is a metaphor, the remnant of a stellar core, after a star has exhausted available hydrogen, H, and fused it into helium, He, after the rest of the exhausted star, its outer layers, have either dissipated or exploded in a supernova. The “cinder” is most often a white dwarf, sometimes a neutron star, or even, rarely, a black hole.
      Heavier stars can fuse helium into even heavier atoms, but for the most of the lifetime of a star of any mass, fusion of H to He is the main, longest lasting process, because it has by far the largest energy output per atom. Stars form from the interstellar gas, 3/4 H and 1/4 He, which were created in the Big Bang, with a dash of other elements, made in the previously exploded stars. All atoms in your body except H are made in stellar explosions and neutron star mergers. Carl Sagan once said: “The cosmos is within us. We are made of star stuff,” and this is not a metaphor! Everything on our planet, and even the planet itself, is made of the same star stuff.
      Watch videos 1 to 4 on star evolution, and 6 on star formation in this Launch Pad Astronomy's playlist, it's a very easy introduction into stellar astrophysics: ua-cam.com/play/PLrAnGxL8nxOET_FfZinl5Z-JHrH41OpZ-.html The rest is optional, only these are essential.

    I was just a few hours ag discussing supernovae with my cousin, as well as my hope that a naked-eye one will happen in my lifetime. I missed out on SN 1987A (not even being born until 4 years later), and, knowing offhand that the last naked-eye supernova was nearly four centuries before that, given the timescales involved, I assumed that an interval of centuries was the case and that SN 1987A meant (statistically) I (most likely) missed my shot by a hair. Learning that they *should* occur closer to 50 year intervals and that we are long overdue for one makes me much more hopeful that one will occur while I am still here to observe it. Thanks JMG!

After iron a star actually dies its first life and what ever it is next makes all the elements after that but at the same time those elements only get released in a small percentage of the actual supernova the rest is the neutron star or black hole.

    Strange matter can actually occur very much so from a neutron star or pulsar. There are a couple candidate stars that might actually be composed of it. It actually is much more stable than normal matter but requires very exotic conditions to form. In fact is contagious form of matter. It will convert normal matter into it if it gets in contact with normal matter. Theoretically it could destroy the universe if it got out of a gravity well of a neutron star. Although it might take trillions of years….. Because of distance and range. Anyway I thought I’d point that out

    To be honest there is no saying that 'Element Zero' _isn't_ neutronium. We know almost nothing about it, beyond the fact it is created by supernovas which would also fit. However if it were neutron matter then it would need to be meta-stable neutronium since the stuff can be picked up and manipulated. The 'Mass Effect' itself is really just another name for Anti Gravity mixed with some aspects of Doc Smith's Bergenholm-style 'free' or inertialess flight.

    The hyper nova is really interesting. Due to antimatter pair instability, gamma rays go out of control, causing more anti pairs to form and then annihilate, causing more gamma... turning the outermost layers of the star into a fusion core. The resulting explosion is so extreme it does not leave a black hole, or any remnant. The whole thing converts to energy, and simply stops existing where moments before were a massive star. Anyhoo, I've never heard of electro-weak burning, that's a novelty I'll have to checkout. The quark-gluon Star I always figured would be the ultimate degenerate star, and some physicists think that is what black holes actually are, so long as you can ignore the idea of a singularity or infinity renormalization stuff. Super compact degenerate matter would dip inside the schwarzschild radius. The fact that quarks cannot easily be obliterated, they just form new quarks when getting smashed apart, so it's a firm if degenerate pressure, unlikely to collapse by gravity... But then we might hit gluon degenerate matter

    What are atoms? Random little jiggly bits of reality that are stuck in the Higs field. They are fairly rare, at least compared to neutrinos, photons, and possibly dark matter particles, if they do infact, exist. They are uncommon in the vast expanse of the observable universe, though they tend to clump together. They are easy to find as they spawn photons when excited and neutrinos when they clump together in certain ways.

    There is a type of matter proposed that works because an anti-muon can't annihilate with an electron. It is proposed that the electron can bind to the muon in a fast-decaying arrangement (muons only exist for ~2.2 microseconds) to build "muonium" with a weight of 106 MeV and therefore 1/9th of the weight of hydrogen. The muon decays into a proton that annihilates with the electron and two neutrinos.

      I chuckled, but thought of the gold looking on from a dark corner of the bar utterly indifferently. "Meh, helium again ....". And then Argon showed up and it all went south like a villain from an old west movie. But in the end, nothing happened.

    First, I love your video's style, format, and content.
    At 16:05 you mentioned "Grey Goo" being related to a type of strange mater that converts regular matter when it comes in contact but I think you are mixing that term with something else, at least the Grey Goo I know of is related to run away nanotech (that's the grey part being made of in-organic atoms, i.e. metals and silicon)

    The strangest matter is still living matter.
    Or stranger than that, living matter coming into existence on its own accord.
    It's sort of the guide line of Star Trek episodes, beings of different types ranging from pure energy to boltzmann brain gods and sentient nano bot civilizations.
    They really pushed the limit of what we could **imagine** as life. But reality might even be weirder than any Star Trek/Wars episode.

    What if the idea that antimatter “annihilates with normal matter on contact” is not quite accurate. Is it true that “early in the universe most of the matter and antimatter annihilated,” or could it be possible that when matter and antimatter make contact, they result in creating dark matter and dark energy. The first law of thermodynamics tells us that energy can never truly be annihilated, it only changes form - from regular matter to dark matter? With the explosion creating dark energy, responsible for the acceleration of the expansion of the universe? Anyway, it's just a thought.

    Wait, so are the neutrons created in a neutron star the same as normal neutrons? Feels like they aren’t, because AFAIK, an electron is its own fundamental particle, it’s not like neutrons are just protons with an extra electron in them, right? They are composed entirely of quarks like other hadrons.
