      My understanding is that a black hole is just a star who in its lifetime became so dense causing its gravitational pull to be so strong as to prevent light from escaping it and so you can’t see it and they call it black. It appears to be a hole but actually at the bottom there is an extremely dense mass that is distorting the space around it. some people speculate that it is truly a hole as an entry into another universe but that’s pure speculation and we’ll probably never know

    You would not be able to observe it with a regular telescope. If we could, we would've found it sooner. The truth is, even if black holes were visible in any way (they're not, that's why they're called black holes) and at stellar mass, this thing would actually be tiny. While it is more massive than any object we could immediately compare it to, it would actually not even be as large as the earth. You definitely can't see a planet sized object from that far.

But they are saying that it can be observed with a simple telescope?

      We've had them fly-by us dangerously close and not seen them until they passed us because only then were they visible to our instruments.
      Theres literally nothing to fear from black holes, if one is detected in our backyard coming straight for us it will still be centuries before it matters, and you'll be gone.
      The only way it could kindof sneak up is from a preposterously elliptical orbit that just grazes the supermassive at the center of our galaxy, picks up damn-near intergalactic slingshot speed and comes at us from a patch of sky where there are literally 0 stars. Its not happening.

    @thatguy2521 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    How does the Kozai-Lidov mechanism influence the orbital dynamics of a trans-Neptunian object within a three-body system involving a distant stellar companion?
    To provide an answer I’ll have to break this up into 12 points.
    1. Introduction to the Kozai-Lidov Mechanism:
    • The Kozai-Lidov mechanism describes oscillations in the orbit of a celestial body due to gravitational perturbations from a distant, inclined companion. It was first identified by Yoshihide Kozai and Michel Lidov independently in the 1960s.
    2. Three-Body System:
    • The system consists of a primary body (the Sun), a secondary body (a trans-Neptunian object, TNO), and a tertiary body (a distant stellar companion). The tertiary body exerts a periodic gravitational influence on the TNO.
    3. Initial Conditions:
    • The TNO orbits the Sun, and the distant stellar companion has an orbit inclined relative to the TNO’s orbital plane. This inclination is crucial for the Kozai-Lidov mechanism to take effect.
    4. Perturbations and Oscillations:
    • The distant stellar companion’s gravitational influence causes periodic perturbations in the TNO’s orbit. These perturbations lead to coupled oscillations in the TNO’s orbital eccentricity (how elongated the orbit is) and inclination (the tilt of the orbit relative to the plane of the solar system).
    5. Eccentricity and Inclination Exchange:
    • Over time, the TNO’s eccentricity and inclination undergo periodic exchanges. When the TNO’s eccentricity increases (making the orbit more elongated), its inclination decreases, and vice versa. This exchange happens in a predictable cycle known as Kozai cycles.
    6. Effect on Orbital Parameters:
    • The Kozai-Lidov mechanism can drive the TNO into highly eccentric orbits, bringing it closer to the Sun at perihelion (closest approach) and farther at aphelion (farthest point). These changes can lead to significant variations in the TNO’s orbital parameters over time.
    7. Secular Timescales:
    • The timescales for these oscillations are secular, meaning they occur over long periods (thousands to millions of years), as opposed to short-term perturbations from planets within the solar system.
    8. Role of Tertiary Body’s Mass and Distance:
    • The effectiveness of the Kozai-Lidov mechanism depends on the mass and distance of the distant stellar companion. A more massive or closer companion will exert stronger perturbations, leading to more pronounced oscillations in the TNO’s orbit.
    9. Impact on TNO Population:
    • The Kozai-Lidov mechanism can influence the distribution and evolution of the TNO population. Some TNOs may be driven into highly eccentric orbits, potentially becoming short-period comets or being ejected from the solar system.
    10. Observational Evidence:
    • Observations of TNOs with unusual orbital parameters can provide evidence for the Kozai-Lidov mechanism at work. The detection of distant stellar companions (e.g., wide binary stars) can further support the theory.
    11. Theoretical Models and Simulations:
    • Astronomers use theoretical models and computer simulations to study the Kozai-Lidov mechanism’s impact on TNOs. These models help predict how TNO orbits evolve over time and the likelihood of specific orbital configurations.
    12. Broader Implications:
    • Understanding the Kozai-Lidov mechanism has broader implications for studying the dynamics of other multi-body systems, such as exoplanetary systems, multiple star systems, and the formation and evolution of planetary systems.
    In summary, the Kozai-Lidov mechanism is a critical process in celestial mechanics that explains how distant gravitational perturbations can lead to significant, long-term changes in the orbits of trans-Neptunian objects and other celestial bodies within three-body systems.

      But for time itself I think a black hole absorbs it and fricking no one knows what's on the other side or if there even is an end.
      Some astronomers speculate that for every black hole, there could be a white hole where everything comes back out but it's just a speculation and nothing has been proved.

      If it's only a stellar mass black hole, within range of a few times the mass of our star, it's most likely a ballet, a binary system in which they orbit each other and the dilation would be similar to that of the star alone that orbits the black hole. Only when the gravitational forces reach critical levels approaching the horizon would you see any kind of measurable differences in space time.

If you are looking for a black hole through a telescope (a normal one), the light from the stars and planets would, in fact, distort. If you see something like this, you might have seen a black hole. We do wonder if scientists have ever tried this theory. It would make things a whole lot easier for them. But, yes. A black hole is not easily spotted in space. So, thank you. We'll keep it in mind.

    Good luck finding this black hole with a simple telescope. If it was that easy, we would already have seen pictures instead of animations.

    If we could observe it with a telescope then we would've had thousand pictures of it by now.

    Imagine a civilization that lived on a plant 1.4 au from it's star that did black hole experiments. One of the experiments goes too far and the black hole swallows them, their planet, and their solar system and then their star orbits a point where they used to exist.

      A black hole really cant swallow a solar system. Sure, once youre in its vicinty you're toast, but if your black hole is the same mass as your star nothing will change for that solar system gravity wise.

      The behaviour of the black hole at a distance would actually make no difference as to orbiting a star. It's just gravity. Yeah the sky would look weird when it's up there. But if life does evolve on the planet close to it, then it will be pretty lucky to have that view.

    Imagine if a habitable world was near the star as the star orbits a black hole.
