      @@RunToEternity They can't even detect dark matter. The spiral arms of galaxies rotate faster than they should according to the current understanding of gravity, so scientists theorized a new type of matter that doesn't interact with electromagnetic energy, but still has mass, to account for the extra gravity needed for the spiral arm rotation velocity. It is inductive logic, which is fine, but it isn't testable yet. People talk about dark matter as if it has been proven real, and I haven't seen anything to suggest that. Maybe it is, or maybe the theory of gravity is wrong at that scale, much like Einstein improved on Newton's theory. I don't think scientists like to admit that as a possibility.

      Dark matter can be glimpsed in what we know as the void, but truly observed in the true void or space between Galaxies. Thats why its very hard to prove. As we do the information changes, needing new proof again. Super massive black holes are just a collection and massing of dark stars that eventually do form what can be considered a singularity, or a natural galactic recycling machine. Dark stars are just collapsed stars that had the right mass and chemistry to form something even denser than a neutron star. Personally im not sure dark matter, dark stars, and black holes are even correlated but understanding all three and how theyre related would answer questions beyond mans current scope.

    0:30 - Supermassive black holes don't 'literally hold galaxies together'. Unlike the sun in the middle of our solar system, which keeps our local planets 'anchored' in stable local orbits, the effects of gravity drop off significantly at the distances that occur between stars in a galaxy, and that gravitational 'exertion' is not nearly enough to keep a galaxy together. This is one of the factors that is the basis for the search for 'dark matter', as an explanation for why galaxy sized structures move cohesively and maintain relative position, because the gravity of the known mass doesn't have force effect to explain this, or come even close to it, at galaxy scale distances.
    It's worth remembering that while our sun's mass constitutes 98 percent of the total mass in our solar system, which explains its oppressive effect on the rest of our local planetary masses, even the largest supermassive black holes we know of, that are vast single stellar bodies dwarfing everything else, are still only a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the total mass in their galaxy's combined mass, so that differential combined with the significantly longer distances between objects in a galaxy, mean it has very little gravitational effect on the stars not immediately adjacent to them.
    13:20 - Okay, this makes no sense. If 'dark stars' are in fact visible, because, as stated earlier in this video, they excite surrounding 'normal' matter to such a degree that they actually outshine whole galaxies, wouldn't that then mean that we'd be able to easily determine if dark stars were forming or active in a region in our own galaxy, because, well, they would be shining with a luminosity of a billion stars? I mean, that would be an indicator so obvious to measure, that it would be practically visible to the naked eye, let alone to precision instruments designed to measure such variables.

  • @Dark78Sabre
    @Dark78Sabre Місяць тому +186

    There's a problem with your train of thought ... Thoughty2. The reason that exceptionally large stars will collapse down into black holes is because the accumulation of iron building up in the cores of these large stars also build up gravitational force inside the core. For those who are not big into astrophysics every fusion reaction upto iron produces more energy than the reaction consumes. When you try to fuse iron it takes energy from the system so it's basically the end of the line as far as star fusion goes.
    Now as the core gets larger and larger it will eventually reach a point where the gravity of the core exceeds two specific pressure points. If the gravitational force exceeds electron degeneracy pressure then the electrons of atoms get forced into the nucleus and you end up with a neutron star. However, if the gravitational force builds fast enough and it also exceeds neutron degeneracy pressure then the neutrons in the core get ripped apart and the entire thing collapses down into a black hole.
    In your example of dark stars undergoing WIMP annihilation there is energy produced but there isn't a concentration of mass. So the is no gravitational build up. So a black hole won't form because there isn't a way for matter (or dark matter) to exceed neutron degeneracy pressure and collapse. I don't argue that dark stars couldn't exist. I'm just saying that the mechanism you described isn't going to compress matter to the point it will collapse down on itself. So if these 'dark stars' behave according to how you describe them then they are not the source of supermassive black holes.

      Q. Re gas cloud collapse, the video stated that for the gas cloud to collapse it needed to cool, this struck me as odd. Surely, yes to a point a cooling gas will 'collapse' until gravity takes over & then on it's collapsing it's getting hotter due to being compressed & friction.
      I also don't understand why stars are not all relatively similar sized initially as they presumably all achieve fusion at similar conditions then blow off excess gas so how do high mass stars exist.

Even if a black hole is one billion solar masses, the Milky Way galaxy (and many others) have an average of 100-200 billion stars across 100,000 light years. No black hole that we know of actually keeps more than a few stars in orbit around it, and certainly not anywhere near a whole galaxy. The reason a galaxy appears to rotate about is center is because the center is so densely packed with celestial object, the galaxy's center of gravity is very close to the center of the galaxy. The individual objects in each galaxy revolve around the center of gravity of the system.

      the initial starts are held in place by the black hole. The overall gravitational affect is brought about by the slow collection of stellar objects and the mass those onjects add to the whole system rather than the black hole being the gravitational center.

    Dark stars don't exsist, The composition of elements where different in the early universe. So the amount of hydrogen and Helium was different, it also meant they where massive and the amount of energy they could generate is probably also no longer very common, So these early stars if clustered together could create very large blackholes surrounded by other corpses of supernova, and when they merged they probably created SMBH, with enough stellar gas surrounding it, that is probably how early galaxies where formed as well.

That means from the perspective of a photon, the moment one is created it instantly hits something and is adsorbed regardless of how far or long it's traveled. That's relativity for you.
    Also consider that on beaches all over the world there are naked, sweaty Germans looking like large, pink, semi-deflated and wrinkly balloons, covered in lint. Ruining the experience for EVERYONE ELSE, including many photons who's only existence is: Sun->Sweaty German arse... or worse!

    I'm surprised this team isn't expanding on their idea and suggesting that all black holes are or began as dark stars. If their idea is that these stars would be invisible and very tightly compacted, but would be able to heat up the gases surrounding them, that matches black holes. When no gas surrounds them, they are invisible and their presence is only indicated with gravitational effects. Like with the SMBH Sag A* - S2 was one of the main stars that proved there was a supermassive object at the center of the galaxy. The time lapses are really telling. At the time, Sag A* was invisible as it didn't have an accretion disc around it.

      Not quite. Antimatter and matter colliding annihilates the other, but antimatter is fine with itself the same as any lump of random matter.
      WIMPs annihilate each other. The result is almost identical but the difference is worth mentioning. By this model, a dark matter reactor is fueled only by dark matter. An antimatter reactor needs antimatter and some other form of matter (it doesn't really matter what it is) to annihilate.
      Both would have HUGE energy output, but theoretically a dark matter reactor would be significantly easier to find fuel for. Right now we have to make antimatter synthetically, which takes significant energy to do. Unless I'm mistaken, we haven't observed antimatter in large, naturally occurring quantities as of yet either.

      Black holes aren't dark matter because they're made of regular matter that's been compressed way beyond anything we can normally imagine. Like if the Moon suddenly turned into a black hole, it would shrink to just 0.22 millimeters in diameter, but it would still be the same Moon - just squished down to an insane level. That’s why its gravity is so strong. Think of it like this: Moon turns into a black hole -> now it's 0.22 millimeters in diameter but with the same mass as the Moon, except now all that gravity is focused in that tiny space, making it way more intense.
      Dark matter, though, is something totally different. We can’t see it, and it doesn’t act like normal matter - it only shows up through its gravity. Black holes are still regular matter, just super dense, and we can actually detect them by how they mess with light and stuff around them. The light gets warped around the black hole because of its intense gravity, and the event horizon is the point of no return where nothing, not even light, can escape.

    The fact that time stops at the event horizon for distant observers raises so many questions about causality and the nature of the electric field. Feels like we're back in the 1800's arguing about whether the Aether exists. Maybe micro sized black holes can exist for you know, femtoseconds and then degenerate back into ordinary matter in the time it takes for an electron to valence energy transition which we now have measured takes a finite amount of time to occur approaching attosecond precision. It's possible that micro-approaching Dirac length black holes can exist and do exist all the time existing and un-existing faster than we can measure for now. Also your sound effects editor and possibly doing double duty as picture editor is brilliant. A bit too spastic but it is UA-cam after all. Excellent taste with subtle humor.

The reason why it's there is not known and the reason galaxies are held together is because of something called *dark matter* . It's called so because no one knows where the actual gravitational pull comes from. To prove this thing you can try to calculate the tangential velocity of our Sun around the center of the galaxy using the actual mass of the sun and the SMBH and you will find the calculations DO NOT match the actual tangential speed

    Here's the issue with wimps, and dark matter in general.
    If there was some particle that only interacted with gravity, it would've fall into gravity wells of stars and planets, making them heavier than expected. We could detect celestial bodies with unusual variation in mass, and figure they had too much dark matter for breakfast.
    What we're detecting as extra gravity, is either some bend in space, or some property of quantum fields that causes drag when matter tries to escape.

    I have a hypothesis that dark matter can be explained with an antimatter distribution in the core of stellar objects. It anhilated instantly, the gamma rays form a k-ring mostly, the energy still atributes to gravity, but the energy thresholds determine that the observable anhillation energy past the surface of the sun shifts below plank values. So we have all the variables to balance and distribute, and figuring out the process by which the gamma rays are confined can help with figuring out cold fusion. Possibly qgp

    Super massive black holes do not keep galaxies together. In fact, not even all of the regular matter and the resultant gravitational forces keep galaxies together. Dark matter, which is about 5x more prevalent than regular matter, is likely the culprit, as galaxies coalesce in dark matter “pockets” that keep galaxies from flinging apart given their angular velocity.

    I gotta tell you though. Supermassive black holes do not hold galaxies together. they usually only contain a tiny fraction of the mass of their galaxy. The gravitational influence of dark matter is what holds galaxies together. It's a very common misconception. The black hole usually only has any gravitational effects over a few dozen light years in the center, causing close stars to orbit it, but here on earth the gravitational pull of saggitarius A* (the supermassive black hole in the milky way) is 0.0001365N. Considering the mass of the earth, there is basically no effect at all.

    Patterns and repetitions in nature are key to understanding black holes.
    Whether you think they are whirls around a collider, like a tornado, or a dark star, like a gas giant that is no longer a star but a plantery system; black holes are compacted either by low pressure or a gaint dark existence, or both and with a portal to something like a plank's constant of mega gravity! Almost like Saturn's belt, further the drum orbital seen like a light beam from the centre of darkness; the 'higgs boson' remains a strange portal between subatomic magnetism and neutrons of matter.
    The first two orbitals are locked, you cannot add to their event horizon!
    Can you only attract dark matter sometimes, or gas giants, then other asteroid belts!

    Easy answer to Super Massive Black Holes. Universe is A Torus Sphere, we are on the curve of it, so naturally, one direction looks like it repulsing, another is looking fuller, and fuller, because the light will be funneled around the curve. (Funneled around the curve- is actually going in a straight line, but in a Torus Sphere, curves and straight lines are actually the same things sometimes.) And wouldn't you know it, in a sphere, certain constants won't line up. So The Super Massive Black Holes are actually way, way, way older, Eons older, and it's simply been around the sphere a little bit longer.
    This is messy, and I know it is. So, I will happily elaborate to the best of my ability. It is difficult to do so, because most of this is considered pseudo-science, and most of it is conceptual pulled together through reading other published sources of non-pseudo-science and pseudo-science. I'm still thinking about how to pull off the experiment, and marry them completely, but which scientist isn't trying to find the new GUT.
