      The super massive black hole has enough gravity to keep the stars in orbit around it, similiar to how the sun has enough mass to bend space time/gravity so that we orbit it. The more stars that orbit and are consumed, make the black hole larger and attract even more stars and smaller galaxies. There’s also many black holes in the galaxy that are much smaller than the super massive ones at the center of our galaxy

      Seems so logical. . . Through a black hole is a new universe. I'm also intrigued by the idea of Everything being cyclical.

Here's a weird theory: that "dark matter" actually IS other universes, or more like other planes of reality existing concurrently with the one we occupy. We are starting to be able to detect but have yet to fully unlock capabilities to interact with them.

    I haven't read up a lot on this recently, but I do believe one theory postulates that the black holes would eventually combine together at the heat death of the universe, and ultimately reform the singularity that was the Big Bang, essentially resetting the universe upon its end.

      @PXPE it's also referred to as the "Big Crunch" if you'd like to read up on that further. I believe part of the core concept is that with nothing specifically pushing the universe apart (could be momentum from the very beginning) - eventually gravity will bring everything back together. In hindsight, this is NOT relative to "heat death of the universe" and represents an alternative theory altogether.

    • @jackwells8107
      @jackwells8107 Рік тому

      The problem with the Big Crunch is that more recent readings have suggested the expansion of the universe is increasing, not decreasing. As a matter of fact, I think that's one of the main impetus behind the ..... creation? of dark energy (since we haven't really discovered it yet - it's really just a term invented to describe actions by an unknown cause at this point). In other words, they're pretty sure the Big Crunch is not going to happen.

    The problem is, we don't have a mathematical description of what happens, inside a black hole, to anything entering into it, or even what are the forces or the fields operating inside it. This includes the structure of Space and the passage of time. Zero. The General Theory of Relativity declares itself inoperative at that level of energy.

    One thing that fascinates me is how people still talk about black holes in terms of gravity being an attractive force, while, according to Relativity, mass warps space, so a black hole is an area where mass has warped space to the extent that it's created basically a sinkhole - a closed circle, where things can be added around it, like a pearl growing layer by layer, but nothing can escape because 'out' is not a direction that exists any longer.
    I only know enough about physics to sort of have a vague hint at the general outlines, but it's still an interesting concept that does alter how one sees parts of the discussion.

    Every time someone compares some sort of random physics fact to the Tsar Bomba with the intent of wowing me with physics, it just makes me even more awed by the Tsar Bomba. Like, I expect physics to wow me. I do not expect some vintage Soviet atom bomb made by humans to do so.

      Imagine, the Soviets actually *halved* the Tsar Bomba's power!! It was actually 100 megatons but the scientists were too afraid of what would happen when it would blow up that they halved it to 50 megatons

    Surprised you didn't give a nod to the other crazy black hole theories out there, the maddest one I heard recently was we are all living inside black holes and its black holes all the way down, that an entire perception of our reality is contained within the shell of a black hole.
    That just hurts my grey matter on so many levels as it tries to work out the extent of infinity and what that actually means.
    Hogwash but a interesting take on what is beyond the beyond of what we think is out there and the nature of realty, much like simulation theory which if I do have a soul, hurts it allot and makes it whimper.

    To put that time figure for the black hole era into a LITTLE more perspective:
    Take a grain of sand and remove every single atom, one at a time, every single second.
    Do that with every grain of sand on earth.
    Now do it with every rock, tree, flower, bug, building... everything on the planet. Reduce the entire thing to atoms, one at a time, every second.
    Now do it to every single object in our solar system, including the sun. Atom by atom, second by second.
    When you are finished, roughly 10^75 years will have passed.
    Which is 0.00000001% the duration of the Black Hole Era.

    I always sort of thought of them as the universes recycling center. Sucking everything in, breaking it down to it's base components then expelling it back in space (on the other side) to start the process of building the universe all over again.

  • @joowsty

    interesting is roger penrose theory about what happens after your last sentence. because there is only energy left (photons) time and space will no longer exist at that point (cuz photons have no mass and travel at the speed of light), thus recreating the big bang (cuz if the size doesnt matter anymore cuz space doesnt exist everything is a tiny point again with all the energy that was left in the big universe). its called the cyclical universe.

    I wonder how hard space travel will be to navigate once we are able to hop between the stars. Not only do the moons orbit their home planets that orbit their home stars, but you'd have to also account for the stars movements as they also orbit the supermassive blackholes in the centre of their home galaxies. Add to that the expansion of space and any multi generational space colony may find themselves in a Lost In Space situation heading for a star that has moved lightyears out of position by the time they get there.

    You should have touched on the swartzchild equation. The equation to determine the size of a black hole's event horizon based on it's mass.
    Fun fact. If you were to use the swartzchild equation to calculate the size of a black hole based on the mass of our universe. The event horizon would be.... The size of our universe. Coincidence? Maybe, or maybe the big bang was the birth of a new black hole, and we are living inside it.

    Ill resist as best i can to *not* word vommit my calculations. Simon youve summed up the necessary information for anyone to calculate it themselves. Well done sir, well done indeed.
    Funny thing is we already know the answer, we have stumbled across it over the decades but didnt see the importance yet. We will and very soon; certainly in our lifetime.
    The james webb telescope, the L erray and the hadron collider (the center of the collider to be more precise) are all i need to prove my calculations correct, at the moment its just theorytical quantum physics on paper. Ive heard the backlash the internet provides. Alot of people yelling no without disproving anything and a scatter few who understand on some level.
    No big deal, im sure i can just stroll into these secure facilities and say hi lol. If im correct time will tell. James webb dont let me down lol.
