    I love that the term "dark star" has come full circle. Historically, the term "dark star" referred to conventional stars that were simply so massive that light could not escape them. Of course, post-relativity, we know that such an object would inevitably collapse into a black hole. But in the 1800s, the term "dark star" didn't necessarily mean a singularity, but they were considered as just regular stars so large that the light they emitted would fall back up on them.

      "Dark star" is the first phase of solar(-system) evolution, where the primal substance is still undiffrentiated ("without form"):
      Only element that exists is HEAT ("warmth-ether"). Its nature is dualistic ("ether-matter") and it is in rotating motion, forming a vortex around the center (macrocosmic heat-vortex and it manifests as "gravitation"). This is the first "phase of matter". It is also element "fire". It is the first development state of Solar-system (and "earth" i.e. matter). It is sometimes called the "1st day of creation".
      Our Solar System has also gone through this phase, extending to Saturn's (current) orbit.
      Second "phase of matter": Happens a dualistic transformation (of element "fire"): Gaseous element, that is "densification" ("air") appears with light-ether, that is "thinning" (electromagnetic force, that is transformation of heat into diffrent size-scale): Light penetrates gaseous element. This is a "Sun-state" ("2nd day of creation"). Light and dark ("smoke") periods follow each other. Shrinking (Jupiter's orbit) and densification of element fire (2nd transformation).
      Third "phase of matter": third transformation of element "fire": Liquid ("water") appears with magnetic ether: This means, that "Sun" ejects molten densifications around it... ("third day of creation". Shrinking to Mars' orbit; Moon and Earth form a one celestial body).
      4th "phase of matter": 4th transformation of element "fire": Solid ("mineral", chrystallization) appears with life-ether.
      Mars collides with Moon-Earth separating those. More shrinking (of Sun). "4th Day of Creation"...
      "Dark star" describes the first "phase of matter" (element fire).
      Infrared and dim brown dwarf is a diffrent thing.

      In a black hole, at the border of event horizon, all matter transforms to heat (1st law of thermodynamic).
      When the heat spirals, in the black hole, from the event horizon towards the singularity in the middle, it transforms into shorter wavelenghts until it is spiralling around the singularity as "bent light" (Gamma-radiation).
      Quark-sized vortex, that is singularity in the middle, is a gateway between ether and matter. Its "rotation" intensifies with the matter that falls into the black hole and transforms into intense bent gamma-radiation (in the middle).
      All matter that falls into event horizon, transforms into heat (i.e. gamma-radiation).
      Angular momentum of vortex in the middle (=singularity) grows extremely fierce, when black hole grows. That "spin" intensifies the "spin" of event horizon which in turn increases the size of event horizon (=entropy grows); Increasing spin of the etheric vortex, in the middle, makes the black hole to grow i.e. event horizon to grow.
      Part of the angular momentum transforms to heat in the border of the event horizon. Escaping heat is called "Hawking radiation".
      When the black hole "evaporates" through this escaping heat (Hawking radiation), event horizon becomes smaller. When It is small enough, the angular momentum rips the black hole into pieces and releases the spiralling, bent, gamma-radiation in explosion.
      Fierce and macrocosmic etheric (heat) vortex has a direction; is from matter to ether (inwards).
      "For a spontaneous process, the entropy of the universe increases." (2nd law)
      Heat flows spontaneously outside from matter, according to second law. And inwards heat vortex of black hole sucks it: This causes a force, that is called "gravitation". It is caused by outgoing heat-quantums.

      No it just ends and you stay in the final state. In the paper have the convention of saying the material "counts down". We define the state by the number of beams to the left and that number of beams goes down until you hit 0. From 0 you stay in 0 which is kind of nice from a computer-y perspective.
      You can reset the counter by letting go for a couple of seconds and then you start from the initial state again.

    Thank you Sabin and also thank you for the humor. If Dark Stars are positively charged, the fusion process is slowed down due to electrostatic repulsion in the range of 10^-11 m or higher. On the other hand at least one model predicts extra gravity by positive charge, although charge in this theory is not coupled with a velocity based bivector, this bivector is also not inertial but is part of an inertial energy momentum tensor.

      @@imeprezime1285 The outcome of the geometric chronon field theory is many orders of magnitude higher than the predicted value from SR. This is why the Bullet Cluster extra gravity can be explained by positive charge of its hot positively ionized gas. I recommend that you thoroughly read "Electro-gravity via geometric chronon field and on the origin of mass" in ResearchGate. It is a much better version than the peer reviewed paper from 2017. The quantum leap is non-geodesic geometry as the reason for force fields and thus for mass. Notice the special formalism of the Reeb vector as an acceleration description in one Lagrangian plane. The complete acceleration matrix is actually a 4*4 symplectic matrix with two acceleration planes / Lagrangian planes. The resulting symplectic form is not use on any phase space. It is directly used on spacetime. To understand the idea, it is best if you can read the paper on uniform acceleration by Tzvi Scarr and Yaakov Friedman although the acceleration matrix in the geometric chronon field theory has a very different meaning. Reeb vectors in their generalized form in the theory, measure how much gradients of scalar fields are not geodesic, or bend. The energy of mass is this "bending energy" which leads to a new description of the electric field which is completely based on geometry. With 2 Reeb vectors it is possible to describe the electro-weak interaction and with 3 Reeb vectors, it is possible to describe the strong force. Thank you for your reply.

    6:00 - While that is technically true, it's kind of missing the point of how secure communications work.
    You wouldn't just send a non-encrypted message. You'd send a message encrypted with a one-time pad (which by definition isn't "crackable") and check if it arrived without being intercepted. If it did, _then_ you'd send the OTP in a separate transmission. If the first message was intercepted, then you'd start over with a different OTP.
    It wouldn't even matter if the OTP was intercepted, because by then you'd know the ciphertext message hadn't been, and the OTP is useless without that.
    "Charlie" would always have to intercept *both* to have access to the plaintext message, but he'd never get both if you were able to detect the first had been intercepted.
    So, simply being able to detect (for sure) if a message was intercepted *is* enough to ensure its contents can't be decrypted.

    14:00 a method of electrolysing dissolved PET to split it into its monomers is a total waste of energy. I have worked in that field for quite some time, and there is no need to use additional electricity to split the polymer chains. Water, time, and a bit of a catalyst are completely sufficient.
    By the way: PET is not the plastic we should worry about the most, because there already are ways to recycle it (it's called recycled polyester, you probably heard about it already). But other types of plastic, e.g., HD-PE, PP, and other polyolefins, besides polyamides, are much harder to recycle, as the polyolefins would not dissolve under normal conditions, and for polyamide, strong acids are needed.

    The problem with dark stars is the following.
    So lets imagine that our earth was a gravitational point source and that dark matter could not interact with that point even if it was infinitely small. If we take all the possible points which could be used to form earth from the protoplanetary disk and at each of these points we say there is a small but meaningful proportion of points at any given timeslice that are dark matter. If we run the clock forward we see that the amount of space form which earth formed is hundreds of times larger that earths gravity well, and the earth is a tiny fraction of the size of its gravity well.
    This sounds like rambling until on adds onto this there are two classes of particles, those that experience friction and coalesce by heating due to collision and radiation, and those that conserve thermodynamics gravitational energy by no friction or heating, dark matter. In this model all dark matter is either in frictionless motion or will gain kinetic energy by it relative position to the gravity well. Relative to the gravity well specific E = 1/2 v^2 - mu/r where v is the velocity outside of the gravity well and mu is the celestials gravitational constant. What the equation fortells is that darkmatter will accelerate as it approaches its minimum radius, that the specific energy will be conserved as it exits the SOI and the thermodynamic potential will be restored.
    This can be modeled by the unitary flow of particles around a point mass, the so called 2 body problem where energy is conserved. If you throw a basketball through an imaginary hoop, it travels around the point mass earth defined above and goes through the hoop again and again, as long as there are no friction to slow it down. The same thing would happen to any dark matter that entered a stars sphere of influence and then leave. The typical datk matter particle would be traveling at 10,000s of meters per second and accelerate to 100,000s of meters per second as it entered the stars corona. Given a star a 10E9 meters across we can estimate the amount of time the dark matter would remain in the star, as being less than 10E4 seconds, a few hours, the majority of the time dark matter would spend, either in interstellar space or in eccentric orbits about the star.
    So we have to have a theory about dark matter, it must have formed in the early universe as a result of very high energy physics (otherwise we would be able to detect it statistically via energy losses in collisions). Since it would have to form early its presence is a function of space time and gravitational focusing. Thus a good assumption always that for any early mapping of comoving spacetime that dark matter must be either at rest or moving with respect to comoving space time. This is also true with molecular hydrogen, but with molecular hydrogen the variability in motion vectors cause collisions, sometimes non-elastic collisions that result in heat production and loss of heat to the expansion of space. As a consequence as a general rule while dark matter can orbit a center of more dense matter in space, overtime as space cools, hydrogen will slowly coalesce into stars and galaxies. The dark matter would remain in a hamiltonian with the highest order structure or intergalactic, and therefore we can assume dark matter always has velocity with respect to any spatially defined structure within that higher order structure. Apon entering any lower order structure the velocity increases with respect to the lower order structure and then decreases.
    There are possible exceptions.
    Black holes might capture dark matter through relativistic effects.
    One could have dark matter structures like Torii in which stars form within the torus, in which the mass in the torus is extremely high. The problem with that is the first exception, once dark matter forms a black hole, its going to coalesce all the dark matter in torus.
    Bottom line, is I doubt there are dark matter stars. My opinion is that if you had densities (better said dynamic equilibrium densities) of dark matter in excess of 80% of a stars mass the local density of dark matter would need to be so great that there is nothing to stop black hole formation.
