love neil and chuck, they are definitely a dynamic duo. but having watched a lot of neil long before star talk, i think a good percentage of neils funny, or giggle factor is now "baked" in, if you know what i mean.

Chuck is no sidekick. Do not let his comedy fool you. That man is brilliant.

[@tyleressert914]

I absolutely love this comment I also agree that Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson is the Carl Sagan of our generation, but the one problem I have with this comment is that Chuck aka Lord nice is absolutely definitely in no way Dr. Tyson sidekick Ik that Dr. Tyson would 1,000% agree with me when I say Chuck is in fact his equal partner\co-host for all things that they help us everyday people to better understand multiple problems, events, and anything else on this Planet, Galaxy, & our Universe's millions, billions, & even trillions of different scientific questions. Thank u both so very much for all the laughs & knowledge u both share with all of us on planet earth

[@ArtisticLogic]

What I like most about Neil is the way he explains stuff in such a simplified and non academic approach making it so easy to understand unlike 99% of astro physicists

Episode moved along Nicely, interesting and easy to understand. Would like to see this guest again on another topic.

[@timhill3475]

I would love to see an episode exploring Cosmological Natural Selection

[@angelluisll1033]

When it comes to the old adage, "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" I'm inclined to believe that it was the egg because it would have required the change to have occurred on the genetic level so that it can replicate the chicken and that would happen in the early stages of development while in the egg. But I wonder in the case of a black hole, "If it is necessary for a galaxy to have a black hole at the center for the galaxy to exist then what can explain a black hole without a galaxy?" Is it that what makes up a galaxy was originally randomly displaced gases and existing objects and a passing black hole pulled on what was there to become orderly in what we recognize as a galaxy with the black hole at the center slowly pulling everything to it for consumption until it runs out of material to consume and then it's just a lone black hole until the process begins all over again like a space vacuum cleaner? If this may be correct then what came first was the black hold which in pulling objects to itself created the galaxy which is recognizable to us. Therefore, the galaxy can't exist without the black hole but the black hole can exist on its own and that is one possibility, the other may be that among the randomly displaced gases and objects, one of the objects imploded creating the force that would pull things towards itself creating the galaxy. Now I come to this thought. In an implosion powerful enough to create a black hole that exists to pull everything into itself like an exit wound on the fabric of space leaking everything outside our universe?

[@isatousarr7044]

The intriguing phenomenon of a runaway black hole creating a trail of stars has captured the attention of astronomers worldwide. As this supermassive black hole hurtles through space, it leaves behind a streak of newly formed stars. This process is believed to occur when the black hole moves through interstellar gas, compressing it and triggering star formation. Such a discovery not only provides insight into the dynamics of black holes but also challenges our understanding of galaxy formation and evolution. Could this be a common occurrence in the universe, and what implications might it have for our understanding of cosmic structures?

[@kt420ish]

[@MarioDallaRiva]

Great guest, thanks StarTalk 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@frodejotnar9899]

I have a cosmic question, if we know EVERYTHING including light is sucked into black holes if they pass to close to them, then how do you know the radio waves are not blocked or sucked into those holes as well? Perhaps that’s why communication with other galaxies has only been achieved once (the wow signal)

[@FranciscoGomez-ij9el]

With two gravitational bodies there are only two possibilities they capture each other and stain in elliptical orbit, or they crash in each other and merge. Yes, it is remotely possible that one goes into an hyperbolic trajectory around the other and sling out, but hat case that object had to be a rogue black hole to start with, and already posses escape velocity. With three objects , they start a chaotic dance that in some cases results in one of them gaining escape velocity and leaving the system.

[@KotDT]

This was another great explainer and one for the favorites!

Most people don't know that Einstein said that singularities are not possible. In the 1939 journal "Annals of Mathematics" he wrote "the essential result of this investigation is a clear understanding as to why the Schwarzchild singularities (Schwarzchild was the first to raise the issue of General relativity predicting singularities) do not exist in physical reality. Although the theory given here treats only clusters whose particles move along circular paths it does seem to be subject to reasonable doubt that more general cases will have analogous results. The Schwarzchild singularities do not appear for the reason that matter cannot be concentrated arbitrarily. And this is due to the fact that otherwise the constituting particles would reach the velocity of light" He was referring to the phenomenon of dilation (sometimes called gamma or y) mass that is dilated is smeared through spacetime relative to an outside observer. This is illustrated in a common 2 axis relativity graph with velocity on the horizontal line and dilation on the vertical. Even mass that exists at 75% light speed is partially dilated. General relativity does not predict singularities when you factor in dilation. Einstein is known to have repeatedly spoken about this. Nobody believed in black holes when he was alive for this reason. Wherever you have an astronomical quantity of mass, dilation will occur because high mass means high momentum. There is no place in the universe where mass is more concentrated than at the center of a galaxy. According to Einstein's math, the mass at the center of our own galaxy must be dilated. In other words that mass is all around us. This is the explanation for the abnormally high rotation rates of stars in spiral galaxies, the missing mass is dilated mass. According to Einstein's math, galaxies with very, very low mass would have normal star rotation rates because they do not have enough mass at the center to achieve relativistic velocities, therefore they are not infused with dilated mass. This has recently been confirmed with 5 very low mass galaxies including NGC 1052-DF2. This is virtual proof that dilation is the governing phenomenon in galactic centers, there can be no other realistic explanation for this fact. The shape of a galaxy is common in nature. From atoms to our solar system, the overwhelming majority of the mass is in the center. The same must be true for galaxies. Where there is mass there is energy. The night sky should be lit up from the galactic center but it isn't. The modern explanation for this is because gravitational forces there are so strong that not even light can escape. Einstein's answer would be because the mass there is dilated relative to an Earthbound observer. The reason why we cannot see light from the galactic center is because there is no valid XYZ coordinate we can attribute to it, you can't point your finger at something that is smeared through spacetime. Or more precisely, everywhere you point is equally valid.

Wouldnt gravitational waves from those huge supermassive black holes cause so many ripples in space that it would then cause a redshifting of light from high Z galaxies. As the light would be traversing waves/traveling even further and further the more distant than it would travel otherwise?

The supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A*, is 4.3 million solar masses.

Black holes grow by accreting surrounding matter and by merging with other black holes.

[@anwaypradhan6591]

There are huge leap in sizes of black holes, between stellar-mass and supermassive black holes. New studies say that a class of intermediate-mass black holes also exists. The black holes would be hundreds or thousands of solar masses. There are a couple of candidates intermediate-mass black holes, such as HLX-1, which is estimated to be 20,000 solar masses. Different types of black holes have very different masses. Stellar-mass black holes have typically in the range of 10 to 100 solar masses, while the supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies can be millions or billions of solar masses. The supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A*, is 4.3 million solar masses. This is the only black hole whose mass has been measured directly by observing the full orbit of a circling star. Black holes grow by accreting surrounding matter and by merging with other black holes.

[@nicolasfelipini7142]

Hello Neil, today i was just thinking about cosmos, and this thing came to my mind: If White Holes are basically the opposite of Black Holes, and Black Holes have an "infinite density", doesn't that means that White Holes have a density of zero? And, if i'm correct, the Vacuum of space also has density of zero. And so, doesn't that means that the White Holes *can be* the Vacuum in space? i can't take this out of my mind. Edit: the words inside *

[@kkonvicka25]

Assuming the 3 galaxies all come from random directions, will they eventually orbit in a single, flat, disk-like (coplanar) plane? Just like Chuck mentioned about kicking the kid out of the house, but a size difference of about 20 orders of magnitude.

[@andrewpullin4390]

Hi Neil, Nice talk. First time watcher but I have been aware of you and this show for a while. I have a question for you. Why do YOU personally often talk about other SOLAR Systems around stars? It has intrigued me because it doesn't make sense and I have noticed you doing it for years. The SOLar System is the Star System around the star SOL (that's OUR Star); there is no SOLAR system around say Barnard's Star, it should be the Barnard System or something similar. Again there is no SOLAR System around Altair, it would be the Altarian System. Even with Star names and systems using letters and numbers like YZ Ceti (LHS 138) are not SOLAR systems, it would be the YZ Ceti or LHS 138 System. I suppose my point here is that in popular Science Fiction they have got this right for decades at least. Is there some Scientific reason that you refer to star systems as Solar systems? Is a Solar System the actual Correct name for a Star System and it is just not popularly known? I am not trying to be rude or catch you out here. I just wonder that for someone who popularises such cool stuff that they would get it right so now I wonder what actually IS right. Maybe I just see things differently Down Under. Cheers Andrew (Australia) 🦘😎
