Take an Epic Journey to Ultra Massive Black Hole TON 618

Come with me on an epic journey through time and space, from Earth to one of the largest objects in the universe, an ultra-massive black hole! In this experience, you will fly faster than the speed of light out of the Milky Way galaxy, through intergalactic space to TON 618, an enormous black hole. Here you will observe the utter chaos surrounding it before falling into the unknown!

Hi everyone, Rolo the space dog & I are away on a family holiday. So I haven’t been able make a full length video this week, but in the mean time I have taken us on a trip to one of the largest objects in the universe. I hope you enjoy the journey and I’ll be back with more epic space content soon. V

[@Gaian-Commander]

Hope you are doing well and stay safe! I absolutely loved this video because I'm astonished by how mysterious Ton 618 is and the fact that the light we are seeing is over 18 billion years old, essentially, we are looking back in time. Not even our own solar system was formed when the light left in the form of the quasar from the black hole!

Maybe it was born during the time of the first-generation stars, Population III. Pop III stars were so massive that some of them become neutron stars and some of them become black holes. Over time as the universe ages, black holes fused with one another, increasing their size. Ton 618 might be the oldest black hole in the universe, and quite possibly absorb many, many black holes during our universe's lifetime.

I dont think its infinite tho. Space is expanding. Theres always a start and an end to everything. I feel like its so massive tho we cant describe how far away it is or even how to calculate it so we say "infinite". If its expanding always then there has to be like a starting point and an ending point right. Like you cant go past where space hasnt expanded yet so there is a spot in space or time where you couldnt go. If space has traveled only 500km you couldnt go 600. I dont think its infinite but i dont know if theres an end or how to tell where it is 🤷‍♂️

[@louise_rose]

One of the strangest (or most counterintuitive) things about black holes is that the more mass they contain, the lower the density and the larger the size/radius of the object. If earth were compressed to a black hole it would have a radius of around 8.77 mm. The sun has a mass around 1/3 million times bigger than earth, so one would imagine that the radius of the corresponding black hole would be around 150 times bigger, about 1.30 m (per the formula for the volume of a sphere), In reality, a black hole with he mass of the sun would have a radius of 3 km! And this discrepancy keeps on expanding the bigger and more mass-ive the black hole is.

[@Paul-jb1yw]

Well put

[@louise_rose]

@@Paul-jb1yw At a certain point, the interior of a huge, supermassive black hole would have less density per m3 than the sun.

[@Paul-jb1yw]

@@louise_rose I agree

[@antoochibbo1355]

I think its because the sun is already so much denser compared to the earth. I mean if you can compress the earth to a similar density with the sun that descrepancy would go away, or puff up the sun to a similar density with Earth.... what I am saying is that space objects don't really reflect their mass through their volume, i mean Saturn could technically float on water yet it's so big.

[@louise_rose]

@@antoochibbo1355 No, that's not what it's about. The sun is generally *less* dense than Earth - hard rock and metals are far more dense than ignited gas and hydrogen plasma - and the size (diameter) of a black hole also depends on the radius of the body before it was compressed, not just on its mass.

[@MorganSeveret]

Fascinating. If I could choose how end my life, I would choose to be dropped in the black hole to know what's inside...

[@Gaian-Commander]

Same, but unfortunately, we would be stretched like taffy long before we reached the heart of the black hole. And that's only if we could survive the journey there.

[@RichWeigel]

@@jasonlandry420 well my question would be if we somehow survived the event horizon would we stop aging.

[@ashokkumar-zw8vi]

​@@RichWeigel​1st of all,you wont even make it to the event horizon. The accretion disk will destroy you to smethereens way before that. And you will be blinded by the insane brightness of the quasar way,way,way before the accretion disk. Imagine how bright the damn thing is,if we can see it so brightly still even from billions of light years away. But okay,lets say you survived all that and you managed to somehow cross the event horizon. Okay,now it doesnt matter if you stop aging or not,the tidal force of the blackhole will spagettify you on the way to the singularity. You will be in atomic form,a stream of particles when you reach the singularity. Time does stop at the singularity. Heck space and time switch places there. Everything becomes weird. It wont make sense. Currently we dont have any knowledge of what will actually happen at the singularity or what is there exactly. A singularity is a concept. Not a real thing. At least is not proven yet because we can not see inside a black hole.

[@bjornragnarsson8692]

Accidentally erased my first reply about supermassive ones. We’re not positive how they form with great confidence, but recently several proposals that resolve this phenomenon appear self-consistent, logical, and favorable based on current evidence. As for how 3 < ~ 50 solar mass ones, how and why they exist is better established. There is too much matter-energy-density + momentum convection in a region of spacetime that the gravitational binding energy, or an easier way to think about it - the gravitational binding mass equivalent - which would be the extra mass equivalent you would have by separating all of the material out in space and expanding the potential gravitational pull on another body in that case (Earth would be roughly on the order of ~ 1,000,000,000,000 tons heavier for example) - this additional “negative” mass-energy equivalent equals and quite possibly “exceeds” (in a sense) the actual positive mass-energy equivalent. Because there is nothing to counter the energy converted to gravitational potential energy at this point (since gravity is uniquely an “attractive” phenomena), you end up with an essentially “runaway drain” of spacetime itself - whirling and around faster than light itself. Because after all, the one thing that can exceed the speed of any massless particle is spacetime itself. In a way, through in-falling coordinate transformations, it (spacetime) can be viewed as a superfluid (a fluid with no viscosity that whirls faster than the local speed of sound (light in this case) and holds captive any in-falling fluid excitations (matter/energy) that fall beyond a Cauchy horizon). If you look at every black hole to date, they all carry angular momentum. The so called “singularity problem” is actually resolved when transforming to the proper Kerr Spacetime metric for a rotating black hole. It just so happens a singularity never forms almost as if the vacuum energy-density, or vacuum fluctuations (zero-point energy) prevent the total collapse of spacetime itself (by combination of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and the Pauli Exclusion Principle for interacting vacuum fermion fluctuations), forming a central vortex of “hollow” zero-point vacuum energy density.

Ah, thank you, that is the daily dose of feeling maximally insignificant I just needed. Keeps me humble.

So most of all black holes are created by super massive stars, right? How massive did that star have to be to become that massive? Or is it just because TON also starting eating up every black hole near by? Also, Phoenix-A is the largest black hole we've discovered thus far. Pheonix-A is 100 billion solar masses, whereas, Ton-618 is 66 billion solar masses. It's just unimaginable. Space freaks me out.

At some point, numbers just become nothing more than a formality, and everything could be described as "fkng huge" because we just can't grasp something of such a magnitude. Just fkng huge, brothers. Fkng huge.

[@Yashjod-jw3yx]

However, if we were to imagine a hypothetical scenario where a person somehow found themselves falling into Ton 618, the outcome would be catastrophic. The gravitational forces near such a massive and energetic object would be incomprehensibly strong. As the person approached the quasar, they would be subjected to extreme tidal forces, stretching and tearing them apart in a process known as spaghettification. This fact is so i cant speak Additionally, the intense radiation emitted by Ton 618 would be lethal, instantly incinerating anything within its vicinity. Essentially, falling into Ton 618 would result in the person being torn apart and vaporized long before they could even get close to the quasar itself.

I think most of these megastars got their start in the very early universe, when there was lots of “fuel” within easy reach, and that such stars could not form today, as gravity’s effective power only extends so far, fortunately for most galaxies, which would otherwise be consumed. TON618 has to have consumed several large galaxies over billions of years, but now “food” is hard to come by, as spacetime itself is being stretched ever thinner and sparser.

[@tron1007r]

I realized something the other day watching Superman Returns: Be patient with me and follow my thought. Any object that has an escape velocity of greater than light speed (c) is a black hole. That means every stellar mass black hole would be another universe. That also means since our universe would have an escape velocity of >c then we must live inside a black hole. From our perspective since we are in one, we can see other ones that are smaller than the one we live in. I thought of this thinking and calculating how much energy Superman would to have had to use to get the island larger than rhode island full of krytonite to an escape velocity of earth, which is approximately 25,000 mph.
