Well here is the thing. We dont know whats at the center. Could be some quantum gravitational effects. All this to say mass and energy are interchangeable. So it could be said there is a lot of energy there. Food for thought.
After googling this, apparently mergers can in fact happen in more complex systems (3 or more), and according to this video the intermediates are practicaly swarming Sag A*, so I guess we've just been theorizing... too theoreticaly (1 hole vs 1 hole without particular influence from other bodies). So mergers would happen (which is what circumstantial evidence has been implying anyway practicaly speaking, not to mention the gravitational waves discoveries) - the interesting bit is that in such systems, fly-away black holes would presumably be quite common? Imagine a little 100k stellar mass BH hurtling through the galaxy at break-neck speeds.. perhaps the intergalactic space is relatively full of such phenomena, even.
Hi Anton. I hear Dorothy saying "I didn't need to go somewhere else to find what I was looking for, but stay in my own back yard !!!" And now we have an IMBH garden circling Sag A*. Whoda thunkit !!! How did all those black holes get there, and when did they get there ? Were they the "Seeds" that created the Milky Way?? My head hurts now !! Thank you Anton for another great presentation.

Theory on Anti-Neutron Stars and High-Energy Quasars- I propose that some quasars exhibiting unusually high levels of gamma radiation could be explained by the presence of anti-neutron stars rather than traditional supermassive black holes. In this model, the high-energy gamma rays observed are due to matter falling onto an anti-neutron star, where it interacts with antimatter. This interaction would lead to matter-antimatter annihilation, producing intense gamma radiation.The accretion disk around such an anti-neutron star would produce thermal radiation similar to that observed in typical quasars. However, the unique high-energy gamma emissions could be a result of annihilation processes. This hypothesis aims to address cases where traditional black hole models fall short in explaining the extreme gamma-ray outputs. Further observational and theoretical investigation could determine if this model provides a viable explanation for these high-energy phenomena.
"This interaction would lead to matter-antimatter annihilation, producing intense gamma radiation." That should produce gamma radiation only of a _very_ specific frequency, i. e. a rather narrow spectral line. That is _not_ what is actually observed.
We are definitely moving towards understanding the origins or galaxies, massive black holes and globular nebulae. I think we already have some crucial data,the "corner pieces"of the puzzle.
Every new bit of information makes modern cosmological experts say "We didn't expect THAT!" So, no, they haven't learned anything new because they refuse to even consider that THEIR theories are lacking.
@@Tintintanabulation I would advice not to believe in all the media titles "Scientists stunned by...". This is only clickbait. Real scientists always try to find new hypotheses. No one makes career by confirming old ones.

We are just in the infancy of gravitational wave detection. As new observatories come online over the next few decades we will expand our detection range.
Thanks Anton, another brilliantly informative video. Thats my morning done now finding and reading the discovery papers. It would be great to work out the orbital decay of these FCCs as this would provide a clue as to the speed at which Sag A* absorbs these smaller objects. It would also be good to find out how often the FCCs collide and grow as this could also explain why some galaxies show multiple supermassive BHs in their central regions.
this could have implications on the earlier universe in the physics of the density of the gas in the early remark and how that created black holes and created stars so on and so forth. Cool.
I wonder if a huge black hole can form straight from hydrogen. For instance, a large collection of hydrogen can form a small star that lasts a very long time. A titanic cloud of gas can form a huge blue giant star that burns super bright and does not last as long. But suppose that there was a super-huge cloud of relatively dense hydrogen, a thousand times bigger than the cloud that makes a blue supergiant. Could it go straight to a black hole? Or alternatively, what about a giant cloud of hydrogen that has a small black hole in the middle. Could that form an intermediate black hole? Maybe they are made by a process we never imagined.
Wonder if black holes can work in tandem to attract more material from certain regions. If a intermediate black hole is near a super massive bh perhaps the gravitational pull is amplified in the direction the black holes are alligned similar to the lensing affect. So if this is so and black holes can act instinctual, knowing what step is needed next to complete a process, then perhaps these tandem black holes wre not accidental but a formation needed to make a black hole feed more efficiently and in a order of material that is needed to produce a particular process.
Forget the 3 body problem 🤯 how does all those stars pretty much randomly orbiting this intermediate mass black hole work, just trying to imagine it 😵💫
So some property of the supermassive accretion disk creates over densities that collapse into intermediate mass or something about the interaction between the disks of them both
Let's suppose galaxies are the result of a long history of multiple merging of smaller galaxies.. we can suppose than all of them had one or more black holes in their center... maybe the merging of two galaxies wouldn't result systematically in the merging of the black holes.. It seems difficult for black holes to just happen to go into each other when two galaxies with various movements merge.. they need some interactions with somethings (the gas and stars in the center region) to slow down relatively to each other and align into a collision trajectory. if the black holes don't merge, they would accumulate in a sort of dynamic group of black holes of various sizes in the middle of each galaxies (and they would occasionally merge but much slower than their host galaxies)... so maybe galaxies all have a sort of "nucleus" of gas and black holes
I believe that there's ultra massive black holes out there too, maybe the great attractor has/is one of these. In the end, when all other matter has been consumed, they all merge into a final, super ultra massive black hole which will end up as the source of the next big bang 🕳️💥
And they say magic doesnt exist in this universe. Frankly, just because we know how it works does not mean it isnt magic. I mean a giant black hole with balls of plasma many AU across being flung around like boomerangs, many with black holes of thir own is an object whose scale and power are simply off the charts compared to anything in our fiction!

Anton, you sound as if you have a cold or the dreaded COVID. Hopefully it’s just a weak virus. Thank you for keeping us entertained with all the interesting information you give us.
Got a question for you Anton. Have you heard of a star passing through The Oort cloud in about a hundred years. I saw something about this a few months ago. If so let me know please.
+These Black Holes are the most fascinating things. One thing I always wonder about them is if they are perfectly spherical or more likely something weirder than I can imagine. I can't imagine them being perfect, but that's the way they're always portrayed in CGI.
My understanding is they're perfectly spherical and smooth, for all practical purposes. Hawking radiation is sometimes talked about as "hair" for the black holes, but the actual event horizon is perfectly uniform. If we think about how gravity works, it would have to be. Assuming they really do have point singularities, and not say, ring singularities, gravity would be uniform and spherical radiating out from the center, ensuring a perfect sphere.
A dead black hole is a perfect sphere, a rotating black hole has an event horizon that's a topological sphere. The geometry of the horizon will depend on your choice of coordinates.
@@dennisestenson7820 The horizon is a perfect sphere in Boyer-Lindquist coordinates, r_H=m+(m^2-a^2)^{1/2}, which is the equation of a sphere, though the horizon is not spherical in other coordinates, e.g. Kerr-Schild.
So when one of these intermediates black holes drops into the central hole right on our doorstep, how badly do we get shaken by the gravity waves? Would we notice anything?
Can't help thinking that some of these companion black holes might get sling-shotted out of the galactic centre and if so they should leave a visible trail of destruction. Also, is Anton an avatar or just a real person with encyclopedic knowledge?
what does the model of a head-on collision of a smaller black hole into a much more massive one show? does it cause “damage” outside the horizon? how does the expansion of the horizon associated with mass interact with the fallout thereof?
Is it possible for a black hole to rotate so its poles were aimed through the disc of its galaxy. You'd have, like really huge space signs, 'Do Not Feed The Black Hole'.
Why did it take so long to find it? The center of star clusters seem like such an obvious place to look, and we've observed those with decent telescopes for almost 100 years. The same goes for the center of galaxies -- it's well known that heavier stars tend to fall toward the center due to tidal interactions, because larger masses tend to shed momentum onto lighter passersby, flinging them out and thus themselves sinking toward the center. I get that the galactic center is heavily obscured. But why did it take so long for people to take a good look at clusters???
Simple answer: Our telescopes were _not_ decent enough for examining the _centers_ of dense star clusters. And the _galactic_ center only could be observed with the advent of _infrared_ telescopes.
Is this intermediate mass black hole close to the supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way? Over time, could gravitational "kicks" between this intermediate mass black hole and everything else nearby eventually send it on a collision course with the supermassive back hole?
"Is this intermediate mass black hole close to the supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way?" Err, yes, that's what Anton said in the video...?
