Relativity does not predict singularities. Einstein wrote in 1939 - "The essential result of this investigation is a clear understanding as to why the Schwarzchild singularities (he was the first to raise the issue of General Relativity predicting singularities) do not exist in physical reality. Although the theory given here treats only clusters (star) whose particles move along circular paths it does seem to be subject to reasonable doubt that more general cases will have analogous results. The Schwarzchild singularities do not appear for the reason that matter cannot be concentrated arbitrarily. And this is due to the fact that otherwise the constituting particles would reach the velocity of light." He was referring to dilation. It's the phenomenon our high school teachers were talking about when they said "mass becomes infinite at the speed of light". This does not mean mass increases, it means mass becomes spread throughout spacetime relative to an outside observer. Time dilation is just one aspect of dilation. Even mass that exists at 75% light speed is partially dilated. It occurs wherever there is an astronomical quantity of mass, this includes the centers of high mass stars and the majority of galaxy centers. This has been accepted for a long time. Dilation is occurring in our own galactic center. This means that there is no valid XYZ coordinate we can attribute to it, you can't point your finger at something that is smeared through spacetime. More precisely, everywhere you point is equally valid. In other words that mass is all around us. It's the "missing mass" needed to explain galaxy rotation curves. It doesn't occur in galaxies with low mass centers because they do not have enough mass to achieve relativistic velocities. It has recently been confirmed in 6 ultra diffuse galaxies including NGC 1052-DF2 and DF4 to have normal rotation rates, in other words they have no dark matter/dilated mass.
Gaia BH1 sounds both terrifying and fascinating. A black hole neighbor 😮 what an extraordinary find😨
Imagine what else might be lurking in the shadows near our solar system. The cosmos never ceases to amaze!!
Gaia BH1's discovery is a big step forward in our understanding of these cosmic phenomena. Fascinating!
This discovery really highlights how little we know about our cosmic backyard. Incredible work by the Gaia team !
A black hole just 1,600 light-years away is mind-boggling! Can't wait to see what future studies reveal about it.
It's amazing that we’ve discovered a black hole so close to Earth. The universe is full of surprises!
Discoveries like this make me appreciate the sheer scale and wonder of the Milky Way.
Gaia BH1 makes me realize how mysterious our galaxy is... What a fascinating find!
The fact that black holes like Gaia BH1 can remain invisible for so long is a testament to the complexity of space exploration.
This video is a great reminder of how even the closest black holes are incredibly far away. Space is vast!
The proximity of Gaia BH1 shows how much we still need to uncover about our galaxy. The mysteries are endless...
The Gaia mission keeps delivering groundbreaking discoveries. Thanks for breaking it down so well!
Every discovery like this makes me appreciate the genius behind tools like the Gaia telescope. Amazing work !
A nearby black hole? It’s like living in a sci-fi movie! Excellent explanation of a complex topic.
The quiet nature of Gaia BH1 makes it even more mysterious. Such a fascinating video !!
It's incredible how advanced our tools are to identify something as elusive as a black hole. Great job explaining it!
I love how this video simplifies the concept of a stellar-mass black hole. Gaia BH1 is a remarkable discovery!
The idea of a quiet black hole nearby is eerie yet fascinating. What other surprises await us in the galaxy?
Learning about Gaia BH1 makes me wonder how many other hidden objects are waiting to be discovered in our galaxy.
This discovery brings the reality of black holes closer to home-literally and figuratively!
A black hole in our cosmic neighborhood is both thrilling and a bit unnerving. Amazing content 🎇
Thank you !
