  • @matthewmerchant2038
    @matthewmerchant2038 8 месяцев назад +9

    If I recall from one of Simon's "Mass Extinction Events" videos, one of them was hypothetically caused by a gamma ray burst directly hitting Earth. What if the Fermi Bubbles were the remnants of this? It would seem that the Bubbles formed WAY LONGER than 25,000yrs ago, given their drastic yet gradual decrease in velocity (speed of light, to now 1%). I would be very curious to see if Earth was ever in its outer-most path.

    • @spacingguild

      A mass extinction takes a while, tens of thousands of years. A gamma ray burst would happen fairly instantly and even wipe out bacteria.

    Our galaxy has bubbles. We have no idea how they got there, what caused them, if they'll disappear, if they'll stick around, if other galaxies have them, why they're there. But, hey, who doesn't like bubbles.

  • @CartoonHero1986
    @CartoonHero1986 8 месяцев назад +3

    My personal thought when seeing these for the first time when they were announced about a decade ago "that is what a flame does in zero G." I'm not suggesting it is on fire or anything like that in the case of the bubbles but their shape might just mean this is the standard form of energy takes when it is not gravitationally bound to into the teardrop shape like flames on earth are or having enough mass to force itself into a spherical shape like a star. This is probably just how that energy dissipates each time the Supermassive Black Hole after the plasma jets stop firing. It's rounded near the outer facing edge because it is more rarefied, tapered near the galaxy facing edge because of the mass of the Supermassive Black Hole forcing it to hold it's shape and a weak funnel like motion, and widests just above its central point because that is currently where the terminating end of the Jets are roughly around causing the most ionisation. I suspect if we watch these over thousands of years they will get longer and thinner and will eventually separate and look like they are drifting away from the Galaxy until they are too dispersed to detect anymore. I would also guess that if we had more sensitive equipment we could probably detect a "hazier edge" to these bubbles and they'd look a little less uniform since we are probably just barely seeing these structures at our current level of technology. The bubbles probably also "rain" their energy and ionised gases back to the Galactic disc kind of like a Galactic version of the water cycle just with (mostly) energy particles/waves instead of matter.
    Additionally the mention of metals bouncing around inside the bubbles gives me the impression of magnetic fields produced by a dynamo. Though I don't have any speculative theories on this beyond that is was a Supermassive Black Hole's magnetosphere looks like when matter and gas interact and get trapped in their system. Since anything near the equator of the black hole would be forced in the accretion disc shape that forms around black holes when it gets too close.
    Or who knows... maybe our black hole just had a REALLY bad case of gas and simultaneously burped and farted out these clouds LMAO

    • @MinusMedley
      @MinusMedley 8 месяцев назад

      🥳 Welcome to the party! I posted this already, but we've clearly got the same perspective...
      It's the galactic manifestation of a polar magnetic field, we call it a Z-pinch. Electromagnetism scales much like biology, the micro level mechanics of the atom translates to the galaxy.
      Obviously the visual observation won't be exactly the same, same reason I mention biology, considering how a water bear would consider one droplet as the entire universe, imagine how different life would if the air was so dense that humans have to swim everywhere, again - different mechanics at different scales.
      Instead we should apply the behaviour of the universe to help us understand the behaviour of the atom. Fractals, fractals, fractals.
      Dark matter is a lie, that force "we can't see", apart from the visible spectrum, what else is travels through everything at the speed of light?
      Black holes are not physical bodies, instead they are the lack thereof. The "absence of mass" / "the vacuum" is in itself an "energy" potential. Scientists have observed this experimentally too, vacuums produce quantum fluctuations.

    • @MinusMedley
      @MinusMedley 8 месяцев назад

      Knowing you understand, I can elaborate even further, that the entire universe is just made up of waves within waves, magnetic waves that interact with the available mass, when a wave interacts with a medium it tends to resonant. The earth's core, made up of liquid metal, resonates to the sun, the sun to the galaxy, the galaxy to its "black hole", the black holes to the great attractor, and the great attractor to the multiverse gods. 😂

    Orientated or oriented? The Electric Universe has a potential explanation for the Fermi Bubbles in a video from 9 years ago involving Birkeland Currents and a Z pinch where Sagitarius A is, much like the Z pinch we see along the currents where stars are created.
