[@TheRealLifeMods]

@@hw_yozoraVODS if anti-matter is considered matter going backwards through time, and a photon experiences all of it's moments instantaneously, what I get from the fact that a photon is an anti-particle is that not only does it conform to causality (A happens before B which happens before C) even though it experiences A, B, and C, at the same instant, but it also works reverse. Since A, B, and C all occur at the same instant, not only does A occur before B but it also is equally true that B occurs before A. At least that's what I gleam from what I already know about this stuff.

When you said “surface gravity”… That made a lot of sense to me . Kind of comparing it in my mind to the surface tension of water

[@righty-o3585]

Yeah, the super massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, only has a diameter barely as big as the orbit of Mercury, and our ENTIRE solar system compared to the Milky Way is a tiny little pixel. Just a barely visible dot. I mean our entire galaxy is 100 thousand light years across, and the diameter of our solar system out to the orbit of Neptune, is just about 1 light year across. So in other words, the super massive black hole at our center is actually very tiny , relatively speaking.

So, question: If you were able to traverse near a black hole and move in orbit around it, would you be able to visually see a change as its dust debris disc or whatever may be shifts in perspective? I would imagine the gravitational lensing effect follows your point of view as your position moves, but would you see a visual change the way you might when orbiting Saturn from one pole to another?

One thing I'd like him to talk about.... Do we actually know what gravity is? We know how it behaves but do we actually know how one object actually effects another object. Like do "graviton" particles exist? Does gravity have a speed effect? Or is there a time delay in its effect?

[@M4nusky]

AFAIK we know a good chunk about it. The warping of spacetime due to mass, the speed (speed of light), The delay (because of said speed). that the spinning of objects wrinkles the spacetime as well since it's not all smooth and instantaneous etc. for graviton not yet but Higgs (for mass) has been around for a while.

Man I tell you this guy is my favorite this guy

[@BlackSunCompany]

Not sure if the "wormhole" explanation is the best to use in this case. It would probably be better to at least peer down the rabbit hole of the holographic principle. To summarize as I understand it, since the quantum information cannot be destroyed or otherwise cannot reach the infinite far future (being cut off from our spacetime), it instead remains encoded at the event horizon. Information about a 3D object can be described just on a 2D plane; entanglements between the particles of the object that fell in are lost (since it's smeared across the surface and is decoherent) but the information is preserved. That information at the event horizon can still escape via Hawking radiation - the radiation takes that quantum information away where it either escapes or is recaptured by the black hole where it can escape again. I don't have a fundamental mathematical understanding on this, just a high-level view on the principles, so please correct if I'm wrong or left something out.

[@Robert_McGarry_Poems]

What if... What if they are both describing the same exact thing? Like, the holographic principle is the _phonograph,_ for lack of better ideas, that the Hawking radiation is tuned with when it is created close enough to the event horizon. If it's not close enough, then this effect wouldn't work, the antiparticle falling in doesn't affect it. So, this could be the way to tell. Look for Hawking radiation that forms just outside the event horizon, as opposed to on it. If it's there then no holograph. However, if the idea of protracted infinity as the singularity, was replaced with a quantumly random teleporter, where the information from matter falling in is pushed right back out again as these already tuned Hawking particles, then you solve the problem of needing a holographic membrane. Or they are just two different frameworks for talking about the same thing.

[@kenwoods9503]

Sand clock anyone or do you prefer gears n cogs to run the clock image, the field you read or glass containing the sand only in a natural state and you can't tangibly test blackholes biggest bonkers ever, so do you mean light holographic or holographic matter an exotic matter in the blackholes field?

[@SentinelGhost]

The thing that always confused me about hawking radiation is that if the information radiated does not originate from inside the black hole, and particles of matter are still falling into the singularly, then how does that cause the black hole to lose mass and evaporate?

[@theduder2617]

I suspect it is due to the energy loss from the spontaneous creation of the escaping particle. (e=mc2) It takes an insanely long time for a black hole to evaporate. If I remember correctly, such a long time that all nearby matter would have long ago been consumed to the point where nothing else is falling in, which finally allows it to evaporate. I have heard that as of today, no black hole has evaporated away, therefore it is only the math talking in regards to the death of a black hole. We may end up making a discovery which renders the math faulty, the same as the math may end up being verified through observation. Personally, I believe the math. But am open to all potential discoveries yet to occur.

[@manfredgedeik3124]

I'm fascinated that they spin so fast. A black hole in the Milky Way, GRS 1915+105, may rotate 1,150 times per second, approaching the theoretical upper limit.

Chucks clip @ 2:20 is the best part of this whole video. Possibility of changing my mind is excluded by the uncertainty principle, therefore remains at 0%

[@shivayveer]

hawking radiation question not able to get answers. At event horizon anti particle is created in event horizon and particle outside the mass of the black hole decreases. Same logic can happen if particle is created inside the event horizon and anti particle outside the mass of the black hole will increase. How we are able to say no anti particles created inside the event horizon will be more then particles

[@Seehart]

Question: Consider the set of all spacetime points that are simultaneous with me now (in my reference frame) . That set is a 3-brane in spacetime. Call it "Now". Now is a boundary separating two spacetime regions: past and future. Does that 3-brane "Now" intersect any event horizon of any black hole? If not, what is the formal justification asserting that black holes exist? To be clear, by "exist", I mean "exist now". Note that I am presuming that all of the evidence for black holes is entirely acurate and that the generally accepted model for the phenomenon of black holes is accurate and supported by that evidence. I'm specifically nitpicking at the use of the word "exist", which I take to mean "simultaneous with me now".

[@kenwoods9503]

Blackholes do look like mirages to me or similar to it in terms of light refraction or Rayleigh effect, plus all light that enters the horizon field may be fusing/merging with the core not like normal stars which repel non fuel material to cycle another source, light itself may be a blackholes main diet.

[@parveshkhatri1027]

If the BH steals one particle from 2 popping out of uncertainty, does the mass of BH increases or decreases with time?

[@Robert_McGarry_Poems]

Those are pairs of (matter/antimatter) being pulled apart. The uncertainty is where they will appear. On the event horizon, and the matter can escape, while the antimatter falls in. This removes matter from the BH, and energy from it's system. This energy comes from the mass of the black hole. It causes frame dragging, and this causes quantum mechanics to turn excess energy into (matter/antimatter) particles. So the larger, and faster spinning, the more Hawking radiation. The only thing that makes sense to talk about, from our point of view, is when the antiparticle falls into said BH. The first matter that it touches annihilates it. Making the system a net loss for the BH. Like a particle leaving, which is sort of what's happening. The other way around is like a particle entering, and that would add mass to the BH, annihilate mass outside it, and steal energy from the system. I don't think we observe this happening. Both scenarios seem very counter intuitive. Let's just be thankful that they aren't runaway self perpetuating monsters.

[@DFloyd84]

I think that a black hole's mass does decrease through this process. But since it's occurring at the quantum level and BH's are silly huge, it would take a one-solar-mass BH something like 10^64 years to completely evaporate. The universe is only 1.3x10^9 years old.

Assuming you have ample air and are protected from harmful rays (X, G or otherwise)…as time slows the closer you get to a gravitational force, would an average person die of old age first or spagettification? How long would it take to get to the point of spagettification, quickly due to gravity or years due to the time dilation? 🤔
