I have always imagined there would be black holes or a swarn of them holding clusters together. It was really apparent to me for some reason but didn't think about wether it had been discovered or not... Very interesting that this exists and I wouldn't expect it to be a swarm of them!

[@malcolmabram2957]

There are 3 generations of star formation, as I understand it. Planets are more a property of later generation stars where heavy elements are present (formed in supernovae). As globular clusters are so old, it is likely there is a low predominance of heavy elements, and hence planets.

It's been a loooong time since I've heard numbers that low in reference to something in space. ~150 of something in space seems ridiculously small lol

[@THX..1138]

I can fix that...If 150 is average for a Galaxy to have then their are likely 150 trillion Globular Clusters in the observable universe.

[@jaysonscott187]

How long we talking?

[@sveintheberserk]

@@jaysonscott187 Well I'm exaggerating but low numbers are usually to do with solar systems or short distances. More often the numbers involved are in the billions more or less haha

[@Dragrath1]

Well for perspective compared to smaller galaxies that is actually pretty high for instance the Large Magellanic Cloud has about 11 Globular clusters so the less massive the galaxy the likely less it will have (though The Milky Way is probably going to eventually steal the LMC's globular for now they are still gravitationally bound to the galaxy along with a small collection of satellite galaxies. In the local Group only Andromeda, The Milky Way, Triangulum, and the Large Magellanic Clouds have any globular clusters probably since like gas and stars bigger galaxies tend to stripe them away. I'm not actually sure what the minimum mass to hold onto globular clusters is but the LMC appears to be about 10% the mass of the Milky Way accounting for Dark Matter Halos. The galaxy itself is aa recent capture only just going through its second pass so it seems to have been thus far insulated from tidal stripping thanks to its baryonic gas halo which suggests its probably a good representation for how many Globular Clusters the LMC had in terms of order of magnitude Another factor which may explain the "low" numbers relative to a galaxies mass is that several of the Milky Way's Globular clusters are in the process of being destroyed via tidal interactions with the Milky Way probably ones the Milky Way originally stole from galaxies it has devoured given their orbits

I’m drunk but I love your videos. Id just like to ramble for a second. We are so primitive in our understanding of what Antov teaches us. He looks at things in so many perspectives. That’s what he understands and puts it into a meaningful way we can start to understand. I’m just wondering. If physics is based on probabilities because that’s as far as our math will work. Are people looking at several different problems and trying to find a similarity in the mathematics.? A similarity in the math between probability problems could Lead to new mathematics. I’d give you the credit if I could.

[@JesusMartinez-mk6fc]

Very interesting video on globuler clusters Anton. Considering their shape and star density, it pretty logically follows that they would also have higher densities of black holes as well. Moral of the story, on your next interstellar trip, steer clear of GC! Greetings from home Anton.

[@coweatsman]

400,000 stars in a globular cluster 34 light years across. That is a high density. That would be a spherical volume of 20,580 cubic light years. That would be 20 stars per cubic light year. Average distance between stars would be 0.368 light year. Approx. 4 trillion kms, 1/10 the distance to Proxima Centauri.

Anton a correction at 4:14. There will not be any supernovas because of the advanced age of ALL the stars. Even the blue stragglers are smaller than type FO and not massive enough to undergo cataclysmic collapse.

It sounds like globular clusters could be the stellar nurseries of black holes.

[@onehitpick9758]

IT was a while ago that I was pointing out that many undetected, small BHs can't be ruled out as part of the missing "dark" matter. Everyone was insisting that we would see microlensing everywhere, and I was pointing out that we recently discovered many white dwarves that were not know before with GAIA and not with microlensing surveys. It is good to know that there are still many more massive, yet perhaps tiny, things that are turning up that many would say "we would already know about".

[@gresach]

Great work as usual, Anton. If there was just one black hole in the middle of a globular cluster, that would have an axis of rotation, and over 13 billion years wouldn't the cluster be flatter? Having lots of little black holes dancing around would allow the spherical symmetry to be maintained?

[@NickoGibson]

10:40 That simulation is hilarious when the black holes start chasing each other . Would be terrifying to live anywhere near that.

[@UltimateDurzan]

Actually, what this could mean is that globular clusters that do have a IMBH might be even older than the ones that don't. Because logically, if that many black holes are there and they are colliding, then the eventual result (if given enough time), would be one IMBH at or near the center of the Globular.

So basically a globular cluster of stars around a globular cluster of black holes! That's a little nuts!

[@rodgersericv]

This is something that one should expect to have always been happening. Why would they be surprised by the frequency of gravitational wave detections? I always thought this was happening. Is there something different about how their brains work? Do they just look at equations and numbers and never visualize things in their minds? I expect this is happening more often than the gravitational wave detections would suggest. Another thing you never see them talking about is the collisions of planets with planets or stars with stars. It's always them going into orbit around one another when they get close because of how they interpret the distortion in space time. Usually you see an animation of one star sucking off material from another. I'm waiting for them to start finding more evidence of stars colliding with stars.

Although extremely unlikely, if there are any higher life forms in the universe other than here on planet earth that have successfully traveled outside their own solar system, they are likely to be found among globular clusters, since the stars are so much closer to one another there and travel from one solar system to another is much easier than it is outside of globular clusters.
