It was a few years ago so maybe I remember it wrong: I read once an article about this. But not a simple list with a few characteristics. It was more about the problem to characterise all different types of supernovas because the more they look into the sky the more different supernovas they find.

[@jeffbenton6183]

I agree. I new that one type comes from mass being added to a white dwarf from a companion star (since a white dwarf can't have any more than a certain amount, it expels those extra layers when its mass reaches the "Chandrasakar limit". Another is the core-collapse type he mentioned early in the video (death of a large star). He seemed to indicate there are at least three in total. I had no idea that there were more than two types, myself.

I'm surprised we don't see evidence of that very often- a massive explosion destroying nearby stars. I'm not a scientist, just an enthusiast, and I'm always surprised when we're shown a star that's gone supernova that had a partner- and STILL has it. How does the partner NOT get destroyed too? Like that nebula (is it the Crab Nebula? Or Tarantula Nebula?) that has a Neutron Star in the center of the nebula but the partner is still there. Perhaps I just think of them too close together. But it's fascinating stuff!

This is just a shoot from the holster guess, but it could be black holes decaying far enough back to revert from space/time energy to matter energy dominance.

[@RyanSoul]

On to something here, perhaps they are big bangs…🎉

[@kyzercube]

@@RyanSoul Not sure what you mean by that. I'm just referring to the point where black holes can decay from Hawking radiation to a point where the space/time energy cannot sustain a black hole and basically converts back to mass/energy. The mass/energy is low enough from the decay that it can no longer sustain a black hole status and all the trapped energy is released.

[@Unmannedair]

That's a possibility but I actually think thermal decay of the black hole is more probable. In thermal decay, the black hole isn't destroyed by Hawking radiation. It's destroyed by the evaporation of the higgs condensate. No more higgs, means no more mass, and that means no more gravity. As if somebody just flipped the switch on the black hole and converted all that mass instantly to pure energy. Basically the same sort of event as the Big bang... But much smaller. A little bang if you will.

[@RyanSoul]

@@kyzercubewhat your describing sounds like a big bang/ white hole.

[@kyzercube]

@@RyanSoul Not at all. Black holes do radiate their energy out at the event horizon. Naturally the larger they are the longer they will stay black holes. There will inevitably come a point where the amount of energy radiated out will be reduced below the gravitational bounds of the energy making a black hole and simply escape out. Yeah it's going to be a large explosion but it's not a white hole or big bang.

Maybe its similar to the phenomenon where matter and antimatter appear in space and then annihilate one another, but on a much larger scale caused by something suddenly distorting, or un-distorting, space time. Perhaps the death of a black hole? This could explain why it *mostly* occurs in the spiral arms, but rogue black holes would account for Finch; and, since these black holes are in relatively low-density parts of the universe (as compared to galactic cores), they would have little to nothing to sustain themselves on, and generate little to no light from an accretion disc so we cannot see their origin, thus making it seem like a "random" explosion.

The US government and the Russian authorities are all acting on Vogt’s work…

[@freeforester1717]

@@397Jimmy even the AI which checked out his hypothesis found nothing at all to disagree with. The mechanics of everything fit with the observable evidence, and he was clever and persistent enough to put the pieces together, with no anomalies. OTOH, the 90° tilt theory ascribed to by ‘S0me’ would have us believe that the Great Pyramid would therefore have been located some 40-45° North of the equator, firmly within snow and indeed glacier territory, where it would have been crushed under a mile of ice; nor does the location lend itself to rain-induced erosion, per Professor Robert Schoch’s observations at the Sphinx site. MarkoPL100 video shows the mantle reversing, not the crust, but it also demonstrates the reversal of the spin, which ties up neatly with the observed runoff canyons formed on both Eastern and Western sides of the continental plates. The sub oceanic magnetostratigraphic records show regular 180° reversals of the polarity alignment of the rock crystals, not alternating 90° turns, as would be the case were a 90° pole shift to have taken place. Vogt’s hypothesis also ties in with the ancient myths of the Earth seeing dawn in the West and sunset in the East. Doug addresses all these aspects, convincingly. Having bought and read both S0’s ‘Earth Disaster Cycle’ and Vogt’s ‘Gods day of Judgement’, I firmly believe Vogt has the hypothesis which is closest to the observable evidence, and thus predicts our foreseeable future. As a 60-year old former Sunday school boy, I have an open mind as to the religious aspects, but his work here is very detailed and also convincing, and hard to counter. A lot in S0 theory is hung on alternating layers of Arctic and tropical sedimentary layers per Major White’s Arctic expedition, but I believe Vogt when he dismisses this aspect as dating from far earlier times, along with eg the very ancient petrified tree fossils in the Spitzbergen islands , I’ve tried to elicit further clarification of this aspect from S0 but that is where the shutters come down and my posts on their threads are removed. This is telling - looking over Doug’s videos (I’ve watched all of series 4 and many of the others) he always was willing to help explain or validate his hypothesis, very often with direct references or offers to mail any pertinent information to the enquirer. This is how science is validated, not by dogma and dismissal of genuine queries. I’d love to think that the ‘micro’ nova will be a gentle affair, but the evidence is all contradicting this. Doug’s calculated velocity of the dust shell hitting the planet at 1550 miles per second (taking roughly 17 to 18 hours to get from the Sun to Earth) equates to around 5.5 million mph - small wonder we lose a major part of the atmosphere and ocean water, as well as the knock further away from the Sun, with resultant cooling of our climate. Sure, we might be “lucky” and thread our way through a hole in the shell, but I definitely wouldn’t bank on it! 🖐🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@dezvul4817]

It couldn't be. I've been part of a research group at my university studying positron annihilation spectroscopy and have learned a little about anti matter annihilation. The problem with this hypothesis is that matter-antimatter annihilation creates very specific wavelengths and basically doesn't have a spectrum. Electrons annihilate with positrons and create a very specific photon frequency, depending on the speed of the electrons and positrons relative to each other and us we'd see a spectrum within an extremely small range of frequencies. This happens to be the case for every particle and its anti particle. Electron Positron annihilation is one of the longest wavelength (lowest energy) photons among antimatter annihilation but its photon energy is gamma radiation. As mentioned in the video LFBOTs create quite a large spectrum of radiation including blue light. While matter antimatter annihilation could possibly produce blue light if both the matter and antimatter were moving away from at like 99% of the speed of light (which is already an unprecedented speed for us to have seen matter moving relative to us [in large enough quantities to produce LFBOTs]), it couldn't have produced such a spectrum, and even if it did you'd see sharp spikes in the spectrum it created around a specific wavelength for each different type of matter-antimatter particle combination included in the annihilation event.

The only way i can describe it was as if you had turned a dimmer switch up on a light bulb and watched its brightness increase then turned the switch back down until the light dimmed and went off. I cant tell you the positioning in the sky or constellation this took place in but that experience bugged me to no end. The light wasnt moving. It was stationery.

10:30 My guess is that the Tasmanian Devil was one supernova, since they're all the same. It's just that there is a BH somewhere nearby the source, maybe more than one, causing the multiple images.

[@SonOfRamenEgg]

For the repeated explosions in short time frame, maybe two neutron stars that fragmented on initial collision then the fragments coalesced. Just a thought... with no actual analysis to go with it.

Seems like they're black holes emitting for some currently unknown reason. Likely something to do with letting off what would otherwise be their normal light jets at the poles, however, without an accretion disc, maybe it's not as directed as normal.

Alien battles, antimatter explosions...

[@jennifers6560]

The fact that humans exist to coin the term "warp drive" absolutely means that another civilization might already be there. The fact that we went from caves to space flight means that we are definitely not alone. There is no more debate. All that remains are impossible distances. It's both a happy and sad thought.

[@keirfarnum6811]

And considering the absurd number of craft demonstrating the “five observables” flying around in the earth’s skies being witnessed by large numbers of people (including astronauts, pilots, military, scientists, etc.), the likelihood that these craft may be from an interstellar civilization that is visiting us increases. Unless they’re from a breakaway civilization that’s been on earth with us all along, it seems far too probable that they are from some other star system (although most of the craft witnessed are too small to travel interstellar distances themselves and are likely just scout craft). While the existence of these craft is not technically proven by scientific consensus, that doesn’t mean we can just dismiss them considering the obviously fact that science was not developed to study a phenomenon that includes intelligence and intention that is likely intentionally obfuscating our ability to gain definitive evidence (i.e., an intelligent species isn’t going to leave their technology lying around so we can have such proof). Science was developed to study the natural world, not a phenomenon like extraterrestrial species; so strict adherence to scientific standards for evidence is not appropriate. We’re at a point now where the existence of these craft can no longer be denied. We have far too many multiple witness cases that include visually recorded evidence and radar data now that were gathered by the military. I think it’s highly likely there’s a lot more going on out in the galaxy and universe than we think.

[@jennifers6560]

@keirfarnum6811 I agree. What do you think about all of the reported crash sites while still having no evidence? Wouldn't SOMEONE at some point take a tiny piece of something? There are also reports that these craft are secret government programs, or even secret programs our governments actually don't know about. Also, with the general size of the crafts being on the smaller size (in spaceship terms), it wouldn't be likely that these craft could actually make it from another star system unless they had some insane way around space-time itself. Has anyone ever seen a mothership? I can't recall except for the large triangular craft seen in Belgium, but it was still kinda small. I am totally aware of current science absolutly blowing up with new tech, but I'm leaning on that "they" either came here long ago (like millenia) and never left, or some secret private investors are paying their scientists really well. Opinion?

The scale was originally designed in 1964 by the Russian astrophysicist Nikolai Kardashev (who was looking for signs of extraterrestrial life within cosmic signals). It has 3 base classes, each with an energy disposal level: Type I (10¹⁶W), Type II (10²⁶W), and Type III (10³⁶W). Other astronomers have extended the scale to Type IV (10⁴⁶W) and Type V (the energy available to this kind of civilization would equal that of all energy available in not just our universe, but in all universes and in all time-lines). These additions consider both energy access as well as the amount of knowledge the civilizations have access to.🌏🌎🌍🌐🌐🌐🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠

[@Oilers1972]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@SirDeady]

I was thinking, anything powerful enough to do this kind of thing over such a large area, though maybe not time, must be akin to gods in power. Travelling billions of lightyears of distance and detonating stars with a weapon that not only destroys them with more force than normal supernova by multitudes of factors but also affects the shape of such a powerful detonation too. Maybe entire aystems at once. One of which, by that sound of it, had multiple stars in it. If we wanna go with aliens. That's scary considering how close one nova was to our own galaxy. But I'm personally tending towards a natural body that has travelled through said systems, causing destruction than sentient life.

[@Oilers1972]

@@SirDeady , I would agree but was thinking the first comment because of that specific meme that’s more comical than anything else. All that said, our perception of aliens and what consists of the definition of life is probably way off. Consciousness creates the brain, not the the other way around so let’s start there. Maybe the universe itself is consciousness and a form of alien life.

[@uns0uled]

@@SirDeady Maybe instead of it being an alien weapon, the natural progression of technology in our universe results in species accidently destroying themselves. So these explosions could just be aliens discovering technology X, which inevitably results in big blue explosions. A nice ol Great Filter.

[@rezadaneshi]

Nothing in far distances is where it appears to be. Photons takes curved paths to many gravitational fields on their way to us and high energy FRBs are less effected by those gravitational fields that in our sky, lands them as source unidentifiable.

[@andrewwade1651]

The thing is that unlike refraction gravitational lensing is not color dependant and isn't going to separate the image of the LFBOT from the image of its host galaxy.

[@rezadaneshi]

@@andrewwade1651 Common belief is "Gamma rays are affected just like light rays, so they will be subject to a gravitational red shift and they will be bent by gravitational fields just as visible light is." There is an entirely different discussion if they are effected identically in taking the identical path.

[@andrewwade1651]

@@rezadaneshi Based on our understanding of General Relativity, radio, gamma, gravitational radiation, and neutrinos would all be gravitationally lensed, yes. But "the Finch" doesn't appear to be behind any strong gravitational lenses and many of our detectors don't have the angular resolution to observe gravitational lensing anyway.

[@rezadaneshi]

@@andrewwade1651 if the energy of the regular photon gives it a theoretical mass based on e=mc^2, the gamma ray mass equivalency will be magnitudes higher. Both at light speed. P=mv. It's mass equivalency at that speed will be less effected, in a way it's cheating or time traveling ahead of visible light photon by powering itself a shorter cut by influencing its path gravitationally itself.

[@quipsilvervr]

Makes you wonder if it's something related to a leftover technosigniture in form of a high energy burst that dissipates over a longer period than what we are used to. Although when something like this happens, Scientists will call it anything else and usually has a long long name. We've been actively looking (apparently) for signs of technology in the form of anomalous energy bursts and waste heat, but it should definitely not be something that's disregarded immediately. We've probably ignored enough of them over the years in result of mysterious anythings with complicated names, that we've likely registered one or 2 without considering what it could be. As always though, this was a great video and your voice is easy to listen to for soaking up information!

Great video! Question: have we just started identifying these events now because we didnt have the instrumentation before 2016? If the answer were "no" (as in, they just started happening) they weirdest thing is that they are not just happening now, but rather that the radiation from events that took place years to billion years ago are reaching our planet weirdly synchronized... Which is really hard to comprehend

[@tsm688]

we have really, really fast telescopes now. "scanning the entire sky once a day" is a pretty novel concept, they used to spend years trying to do that once. And we might never have even tried if it wasn't for the vela satellite thing. Everyone knows stars take millions of years to do anything, right? A satellite for detecting nuclear bombs went off without the bomb -- the radiation came **from space**. And that was when the human race discovered that gamma ray bursts were a thing. Now we spot them routinely.
