  • Black holes may hold the key to understanding the most fundamental truths of the universe, but how do you see something that’s, well, black? Astronomers think they have the answer. Thanks to a global array of radio telescopes that turn the Earth into a giant receiver, we may soon have the first picture of the event horizon of Sagittarius A*, the black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. And, with the power of math, scientists are going even further, using equations to “look” inside black holes, peering at the central singularity where general relativity and quantum mechanics collide. Join Brian Greene and other leading physicists and astronomers on a journey to make darkness visible.

      My hypothesis that Dark Matter is not a WIMP, but maybe is a deformation of space-time by which the curvature of space-time ALONE is the cause of the gravitational effect. Gravity is the consequence of the curvature of space-time. It may be possible that the structure of space-time itself could be warped without the presence of mass. Space-time has been shown to react like a fabric by warping, twisting, and propagating independent of mass. These properties have been proven with observations of gravitational lensing, frame dragging, and now gravitational waves. Fabrics can be stretched, pressured, and/or heated to the point of deformation. Such extreme conditions were all present during inflation, so it is plausible that space-time’s elastic nature could have hit its yield point and permanently deformed. Therefore, if gravity is the consequence of the warping of space-time, and fabrics can be permanently deformed, then a deformation could create a gravitational effect independent of mass. Thus, the unidentified dark "matter" that seems to be so elusive to modern science may not be matter at all but merely warped deformities causing gravitational effects. DM could be a microscopic black hole with no mass at the center...
      Prediction: Spacetime's elastic property hits a yield point, so only that part of geodesic's "stretch marks" would remain after inflation stopped. These steep gravitational wells would not follow the inverse square law. I am looking for Theorists or Experimentalists to help me develop ways to test this hypothesis. Is there a way observationally to test it’s gravity does not follow the inverse square law?

      That some theoretical physicists say hundreds of solar masses of matter are compacted by the weakest of the known forces till they attain dimensions exponentially smaller than an electron is it's own genre of fertilizer science fiction.
      That 99.998 % of the observable, delectable Universe is composed of matter in a charge disassociated state known as plasma...
      That plasmas move/behave in specific, organized ways ONLY when under the influence of electric currents....
      That electrically active plasmas scale from the tiny spark from your finger to the doorknob to the light year spanning celestial objects observed through telescopes...
      and that those same incredible forms can be recreated via electricity at the smaller scale in the Plasma Physics Labs...
      Those are all facts.

      I could be mistaken, but I think that is very much the norm within scientific communities. The vast majority are keenly aware that modern science is an extremely collaborative endeavour, and that their own personal effort is only a small fraction of that required for great achievements.
      And although there's always exceptions, even the most egotistical fame chasers tend to recognise that it doesn't behove them not to emphasise the contributions of their colleagues and peers when given a public platform. Otherwise they'll soon struggle to find any that are keen to continue collaborating with them on future projects!
      The notion of a vast leap forward, due to a lone scientific genius with revolutionary vision, is mostly a myth perpetuated by Western Media, I believe. They're always looking for someone to elevate to celebrity status, because hero warship plays to our cultural (and, I think, instinctual) desire for individual exceptionalism.

    • @bowkenpachi7759
      @bowkenpachi7759 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The speed of light is only constant in a theoretically perfect vacuum, that never can exist due to vacuum fluctuations anyway, let alone all of the matter that exists within the vacuum itself, or the deformities in the fields.
      Physics takes the second law of thermodynamics too seriously as it creates nice looking answers to equations, but you have to ask yourself “is there any such thing as a closed system in the universe, for the second law of thermodynamics to even be applied?”
      The answer, categorically is no.
      Vacuum chamber walls will effect your experiment. Electromagnetic fields outside of your experiment will effect your experiment. The pressure and density that you conduct your experiment at will effect the experiment. Even black holes emit Hawking Radiation, therefore it cannot be a closed system.
      Different frequencies of light travel through different mediums at different speeds, which is why we see visible light split when refracting through a prism, and the speed of light was measured “precisely” using mono frequency lasers (that don’t even exist in nature) in visible light.
      It’s very possible that light has different speeds at different frequencies, but I am yet to see anyone experimentally prove this to be observationally true.
      We likely do not have an accurate picture of our universe in the present day

Guys can be feminine, and it's okay; as well girls, nonbinary people, whatever have you, can all act feminine and it's no longer a sign if weakness. lol but really though ur soo goody. luv u girly hunty bestie boo, talk to ya in the morning. xxoo

      when a star gets so dense that it can't support its own weight it can collapse and launch its contents into space, this process is called a super nova.
      what remains of that explosion can either be a black hole or a neutron star (quasar, pulsar, generic neutron).
      what will determine the difference between a black hole or a neutron star generating is the final "weight" of what remains of the star.
      if the remains are extremely dense the overall mass and density of the object will be so "concentrated" that it's gravitational forces will pull everything into a single point in space and time, this called a singularity.
      tl;dr: a black hole is a tiny hyperdense star that is so heavy nothing can escape it's gravitational pull not even light. because of this we were only able to detect black holes by detecting their gravity. Because conventional telescopes use light whenever we point our devices at these "black holes" we can't see anything it's "black"; yet we know that something is there.

      I used to imagine black holes as interdimensional tunnels connecting universes. Since mathematically 1-9 represents physical matter as an extension of energy, I thought of 10 as the infinitely infinite connection between universes since 90% of our universe is observable and the rest is "missing". So the rest makes up the connection to infinity.

    So plank length strings around the torus at the microcosmic scale are like "fractals" of what happens at the macro scale in black holes.All information is therefore stored everywhere (zero point). Like a shattered mirror reflecting the same surface area as the whole mirror. Intuitively" what goes in must come out" like "what goes up must come down" .
    Information however complex, has an inverse which has the lowest entropy.
    Potential for complexity exists at low entropy states, as within the fundamental of a. string with mappings of partials which are unseen directly, hiding the complexity of potential substructures/megastructures. Complexity and simplicity are inextricably connected. Thanks Brian Green. Great and brilliant host star !

One, the access to such brilliant minds and how they think but 2 and as important, imo, that they are just regular nice people at heart and the pinnacle of academia in their respective fields doesn't have to be a turnoff to the populous

      But then again, what exactly is "crazy"? I think crazy is the new normal, since the new normal is something other than the way everyone else thinks, and behaves. Instead, just tell yourself that "When I really though deeply about it, I started going normal for a few minutes"....

A guitar string played is a form of transverse wave with longitudinal sound waves originating from its surface.

    One of the things that puzzles me is it seems most of the theories about black holes start out by assuming hte black hole is spherical and not spinning? Is this right? When we look at our universe one thing we see is pretty much everything is spinning and revolving an this the spin effects the shape to make it slightly non spherical. A long time ago I heard some wild theories of toroidal black hole with space warps in the middle or some such. Is there work on spinning black holes and non spherical ones that effect the information content the way you mentioned. (I am not a physicist).

    Wait so from my understanding when you take a star with a really large amount of mass or anything for that matter, and you crush it and compress it into so a really small amount of space, the mass of that space will be so large that it will then emit light but then not let that light escape from it which makes it go dark and therefore make a black hole? Am I understanding this correctly?
