"There is probably not a black hole in the center of the sun. If primordial black holes exist then they may exist in sufficiently large numbers to explain the dark matter in the universe. While primordial black holes may form at almost any mass, the asteroid-mass window between 10−16−10−10 M⊙ remains a viable dark matter candidate and these black holes could be captured by stars upon formation."

If a black hole can distort time and space, then when an object enters towards the black hole nothing really would change or impact the object. It wouldnt "tear apart" since gravity/time/space are all effected the laws that hold things together would also be effected equally. What im trying to say is.. you probably wouldn't die if u entered a blackhole. You wouldn't even feel anything. Just like inertia and momentum, blackholes do the same with gravity and spacetime. Simples.....

Oh, yay! So much JMG content these past days. Thank you for keeping me engaged in planetary science. Though, I struggle with the concept that black holes are dark matter. I have always envisioned them as vacuums of a sort.

[@terryboyer1342]

"Though, I struggle with the concept that black holes are dark matter." Interesting. When I first heard of "dark matter" and a search for a new particle/s was needed I strongly felt ordinary matter was the answer. Black holes seemed the obvious choice even though the large/super massive ones couldn't be the entire explanation. I have long felt that looking for exotic new particles and theories was a huge waste of time, money and resources. My opinion for what it's worth.

[@parsleypalace3272]

Dark matter is dilated mass. General Relativity predicts dilation, not singularities. In the 1939 journal "Annals of Mathematics" Einstein 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 (star 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. It's the phenomenon behind the phrase "mass becomes infinite at the speed of light". Time dilation is just one aspect of dilation, 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. Dilation is the original and correct explanation for why we cannot see light from the galactic center. It can be inferred mathematically that the mass at the center of our own galaxy must be dilated. In other words that mass is all around us. Sound familiar? This is the explanation for the abnormally high rotation rates of stars in spiral galaxies. The "missing mass" is dilated mass. Dilation does not occur in galaxies with very, very low mass because they do not have enough mass in their centers to achieve relativistic velocities. To date, 6 very, very low mass galaxies have been confirmed to show no signs of dark matter. This also explains why all planets and all binary stars have normal rotation rates. Einstein is known to have repeatedly said that singularities are not possible, he put it in writing. Nobody believed in them when he was alive including Plank, Bohr, Schrodinger, Dirac, Heisenberg, Feynman etc. There was clarity in astronomy before television and movies began to popularize singularities in the 1960's. What we see in modern astronomy has been known since 1925. This is when the existence of galaxies was confirmed. It was clear that there should be an astronomical quantity of light emanating from our own galactic center

[@MaxBrix]

Every conversation about dark matter concludes that if all of dark matter was one thing we would be able to detect it. Maybe it is more than one thing.

[@Singulating_Entropic_Abyss]

Consider every particle as a spinning distortion of spacetime (Qalb), whose energy density increases exponentially as you approach its event horizon. Essentially, like the word "physics" no longer etymologically suffices when the observer is intimately bound to the observed, the word "black hole" no longer suffices as specific object.

[@TheMrCougarful]

The only reasonable explanation of dark matter is that it is not a product of our known universe. Instead that it is the 4D shadow of something operating at higher dimensions. It has been suggested that gravity has the same or similar origin. This is not very useful, and cannot be tested in any way that we know of, but it has some predictive power. For example, it will be invisible within our limited horizon of experiences.

If primordial black holes currently exist in such great numbers we should have seen lensing effects from them by now. I think primordial black holes did seed the structure of the universe via inflation of the quantum state, but dark matter is something else.

[@bz1222]

I love the content. Not a physicist but primordial black holes don’t seem to explain away the arguments for dark matter in terms of explaining galactic velocity and universe architecture. They should be attractive and not repulsive and not force normal matter to aggregate. Right?

[@spindoctor6385]

If the average distance between primordial black holes is 1 AU. He says there should be one lurking around the solar system. With those numbers there would almost definitely be thousands in the solar system at any given moment. If you measure to Neptune just on a two dimensional plane the solar system is close to 3000 square AUs. Just using basic logic there should be one closer to us than the sun is half of the time.

[@BillyAsWell]

Let’s all go down to Dumas Walker’s.

[@jeffmosesjr]

The next time you get a black hole physicist on can you ask them about a hypothetical star near a supermassive black hole. If life happened in this setup then the inhabitants would experience extreme time dilation. So our first 20000 years would be done in a much shorter length of time. So my theory is life near black holes might be more advanced than any other form of life.

So maybe dark matter is radiation or something left of 'primortial?' black holes? Noone knows so I guess I can't be more wrong than wrong... but if its true all mass/energy had to preserve maybe in small undetectable neutrino like particles... (I only watch those podcasts and read a book on universe and some physics) but love to think about those stuff

[@djdrack4681]

I like when people can think 'outside the box', opening their mind to infinite possibilities...BUT I feel that its a trope of ignorance/bombast when they do the "Is there a Black Hole [insert some place]" Lets Review: --> We currently 100% suck at identifying stellar-mass BHs. Its as bad as detecting terrestrial planets, brown dwarfs. --> We DO KNOW that (based on other post-stellar remnants: Neutron Stars/White Dwarfs)...there is NO "oops I didn't realize a stellar remnant was nearby": They're small but VERY obvious. --> WE CAN NOT describe source of/how gravity/time works very well. Only make calculations based on gravitational pull. A black hole is going to be obvious (unless they can reach 'max mass', IE not eat anymore)...but even then the matter would 'accumulate' around it. Turn into a star; one that has gravity WAY off from its radius/emission patterns. So that too is prob not a thing.

[@djdrack4681]

CONTROVERSIAL (but prob true): --> Hawking was wrong. Hawking Radiation is prob not what he thought, and stellar-mass BHs likely DO NOT evaporate; prob not even go 'dormant'. --> Scientists need to stop confusing stellar-mass/intermediate mass BHs and SMBHs. Sure they're both singularities, but their origins, their affects, whats inside them, everything else about them is different. --> The "Solution to dark matter/energy" appears to have data/analysis indicating what IS NOT responsible for it. SPOILER: It isn't a Fermion/Boson (or even their antiparticles). Institutional 'Scientists' just can't let go of the implication here...they WANT the solution to fit into their efforts; and the last 20-70years have been struggling against the data (and obvious): SM,. even QM/QFT seems to be inherently flawed. --> IF Hawking was remotely correct...Then ppl need to stop thinking about a 'primordial' stellar-mass BH. Unless it somehow got kicked out of an early galaxy and exiled into the intergalactic space, they don't exist. They'd either 1) evaporate over the 10s of billions of years since 1st stars formed OR 2) (being in a galaxy) continue to accrete/consume matter, thereby living, and being detectable from the gravitational void/accretion disk around them. The "maybe there is a blackhole [insert random place in space]" is akin to believing Pauli Exclusion/Heisenberg but also talking about 'teleportation' as a serious convo: I only sit at the table, as it'll be a replacement for a comedy special on TV.

Agreed. I'm watching because the concept makes no sense at all to me. Wouldn't the black hole eat the sun? 🤔 Seems like the sun is the opposite of what we would see when we look at a black hole. It's generating light, has mass etc.

[@JohnMichaelGodier]

@@JonnoPlays Depends on mass. Remember, a primordial black hole essentially has no lower mass limit. You can in principle create one in a particle accelerator with two particles, though it will evaporate almost instantly. The conditions of the big bang allowed for primordial black holes to collapse when the universe was very small and dense, which means that there could be asteroid or mercury mass primordial black holes. But that's all the mass they have, and it isn't enough to eat a star any more than Mercury could eat the sun if it fell in. But the idea here is that if primordial black holes do still exist, then they are gravitational objects just like stars are, and just like anything else, can fall into a star. But since it's a black hole, the star can't destroy it, so it would just sit there. This is also thought to happen with Neutron stars in the Thorne-Zytkow objects I mentioned in the interview. They can become embedded in stars, such as red giants, and produce noticeable predicted effects. When this was looked for, we found candidates. Primordial black holes inside stars may also produce effects we can look for.
