    The primary characteristic that defines black holes is in the name. Black holes are black. The gravitational pull at the event horizon is so powerful that not even light can escape. In this case, black means absence of light. We also think of black as indicating absence of colour. But it turns out there is a way to make a coloured black hole-as long as by colour you mean quantum chromodynamic charge.

      The great thing about charge is it acts at a distance greater than the Schwarzschild radius. Sort of like gravitational interactions that would allow those black holes to be dark matter. For the "size" when interacting with nuclei you would calculate the radius from the point source of that charge at which the interaction would occur. It would actually look essentially like a really big quark to the chromodynmic fields.

    I've been watching a really long time, but I'm not sure if I remember an episode that delves into theories about what happens to matter on a quantum level inside of a black hole. You've talked a lot about massive and general objects with black holes or hawking radiation at the surface, but how do things like quarks act once they cross the event horizon? Are they torn apart like larger objects, and what does that imply for the idea that they then generate another pair of quarks, but maybe only to be torn up again? Is there a "foam" of particles/virtual particles popping in and out of existence or does that go out the window? Would quantum fields themselves be different and act differently inside? Are there many theories that delve into that worth talking about?

      What exactly do you mean by interaction though? The event horizon is called just that because no events occur beyond that point (from an outside observers perspective). So apart from Hawking radiation and gravity, black holes don’t really interact with the universe. They just consume it.

      Indeed, that would be quite the interesting possibility for dark matter. A vast number of tiny black holes which have been undetected aside from their combined gravitational forces suspected to shape galaxies, etc. Since it seems dark matter makes up such a significant fraction of all matter, black holes in general would not be this rare exotic oddity that we have more or less grown up believing, but instead a common and important part of the universe, helping shape the universe. Large scale black holes would simply be a larger manifestation of similarly-created dark matter all around us. Fascinating.

    Once the first atoms settled from a super hot plasma, it was uniform. We needed to theorise (with good justification) inflation. Then the tiny perturbations could allow gravity to work on forming galaxies.
    Surely the same problem exists for a quark/gluon soup. Too uniform for black hole formation, let alone coloured blackholes. An earlier inflation?
    Your thoughts?
    Hmm. What repulsive or attractive forces exist between quarks at such extreme energies? Could that account for a non uniformity?

    If a black hole had a plank length event horizon, its mass would be 1.08x10^-8 kg.
    r_S = (2GM)/c^2
    Plank length = 1.62*10^-35m
    c = 3*10^8 m/s
    G = 6.67*10^-11 N*m^2*kg^-2
    M = 1.08*10^-8kg.

      I believe the idea is that color confined particles have an interaction cross-section far larger then the black hole's color charge range.

    Very interesting episode! I always wondered about the age of the universe. How can we put such precise times on the formation of particles after the big bang? The scientists must have used an estimate for the density of the early universe. Did they look at everything around, and say this much stuff had to be in one point? I always thought we had no idea how big the entire universe actually is due to the horizon issue. So, changes in the amount of stuff that needed to be in the big bang, would change the time frame in which the particles could form after the big bang. Then there's the whole thing about time dilation around massive objects. Is 20 minutes after the big bang, even a meaningful measurement? I wish you still did Q&A from the comments! Love the videos! Keep blowing my mind!

    The fundamental phenomenon of dilation explains dark matter/galaxy rotation curves. Mass that is dilated is smeared through spacetime relative to an outside observer. It's the phenomenon behind the phrase "mass becomes infinite at the speed of light." A graph illustrates its squared nature, dilation increases at an exponential rate the closer you get to the speed of light. A time dilation graph illustrates the same phenomenon, it's not just time that gets dilated.
    Dilation will occur wherever there is an astronomical quantity of mass because high mass means high momentum. This includes the centers of very high mass stars and the overwhelming majority of galaxy centers.
    The mass at the center of our own galaxy is dilated. 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. In other words that mass is all around us.
    Dilation does not occur in galaxies with low mass centers because they do not have enough mass to achieve relativistic velocities. It has been confirmed in 6 very low mass galaxies including NGC 1052-DF2 and DF4 to have no dark matter, in other words they have normal rotation rates. All binary stars have normal rotation rates for the same reason.

    I had a black hole question I was wondering if you'd be able to address. Suppose you have a non-rotating supermassive black hole, and a ship which is hovering in orbit a safe distance away. If a stellar black hole was traveling in a perfectly straight line from the opposite side, and fell into the super massive black hole, would the ship be able to detect the increase in gravity as the smaller black hole's mass is added to the larger one? Gravitational waves can't travel through the black hole and out the other side because they travel at the speed of light and can't escape. And if the incoming black hole was exactly on the opposite side of a much larger black hole, would that information bend around, or would some of it get lost? I assume this doesn't work if the larger black hole is rotating, since that rotation would spread the information out. Would we expect the ship to measure no change, some change, or the entire change in mass of the larger black hole?

    Yes. Because at a base we’re talking about GRAVITY. Gravity is a weak force but when we add that much mass, collapse and condense, empty space is gone and everything is stuck. Not to mention but have you ever stood next to a thick dense wall on a cold winter day? Made you colder didn’t it? That’s because objects flow from a warmer substance to a colder one. That flow demands that a black hole must be frozen and stuck. Way too stuck. Ever jam something in too tight? Ok. Picture placing 1,000,000 solar masses in a space the size of the moon. That’s a lot of gravity, no escape velocity, no word holes, no way out on any side. A thick heavy element mass In subatomic particle form, at a glance, it’s a super compressed liquid. But it acts just like a SOLID. If you got stuck to it, you’d stick to the edge. There’s no tall structure on a neutron star or black hole. They are balls of compressed HELIUM 4 that basically crush the strong and weak nuclear forces.” 💯imagine matter so crushed that there’s nothing there but you can’t go through it.” 💯🤙🏿😉

This is not a problem that is confined to documentaries, Americans just love the sound of their own voice even if it means they have lost the thread and the information is lost in babble. You on the other hand talk at a normal level of volume and urgency and although they probably are as smart as you, they simply can’t communicate it like you can.

Will the expecting confining of color charges be removed by a fluctuating metric of the space time?.It could be interesting to formulate Wilson Lattice Yang Mills theory or QCD on a random Lattice (simulating a fluctuating space time) and see what happens with confinement of charges by the Evaluation of the Wilson Loop , if possible at all.

  • @Lucius_Chiaraviglio
    @Lucius_Chiaraviglio 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    If a black hole with color charge evaporated, it should kick out color charge in the form of free quarks and/or gluons.
    Also, if spacetime right before color confinement had significant regional fluctuations in color charge, some of it should get trapped as free quarks and/or gluons, with a subset of such particles being prevented by the speed of light limit from being able to organize into color-neutral pairs or triplets by the completion of color confinement. I have read Doing a brief Google search mostly reveals experiments to detect fractional charges from around 1981, but apparently Stanford has some more recent experiments (but their page on such experiments associated with the Stanford Linear Accelerator unfortunately doesn't report the results). Finding out just how low the density of remaining free quarks is should provide constraints on how fast communication of color charge could travel -- presumably thereby equally constraining the value of c -- during the onset of color confinement in the early universe. Below a certain density of free quarks, this should imply that c had a higher value then than it does now.
    Of course, if micro-black holes could exist and even temporarily hold color charge, that would throw off the above relation between residual free quark density and the primordial value of c.
    If magnetic monopoles ever existed, and micro black holes existed at the same time, then these micro black holes should also have been able to hold magnetic charge temprarily.
