    Black holes should be thought of as "empty places" rather than "dense objects." While they are indeed formed from incredibly dense objects (collapsed stars), the black hole itself is nothing.
    Black holes could have played a crucial role in the emergence of life. Ironically, the Solar System is in orbit around a supermassive black hole located in the center of our Milky Way galaxy. And one day, we might fall into a black hole.
    If you were out in space exploring and you didn't realize you were coming upon a black hole, you would not notice that anything terrible was about to happen. Eventually, however, you would succumb to a terrifying fate.

    I think without a doubt black holes are necessary for the universe. This is exactly what I have imagined, mass and energy are both the same thing except when the black hole destroys particles they no longer need a solid form to represent mass. Mass becomes a combined identity of a black hole It is mass without an image

    I happen to think that the reason we reach infinity in the math of singularities, is because a black hole literally punctures spacetime, and the singularity is the point where a ripped hole in spacetime exists, that leads to what is called the inflaton field. We get infinite density, and as she says, information that falls into the singularity appears to literally no longer exist in spacetime - because it is indeed pushed through a rip in spacetime out into the inflaton field from which spacetime itself and the universes bound by it emerge.

      Information can't "fall" into something. Because absense of something is information too. And to begin with, we do not have yet theory which would explain universe down to the smallest, trully undivided parts. We do not know how everithing started, we do not know life cycle of black holes. Big bang bullshit is built on assumptions and very scarce and basic information available. There is no empiric evidence at all.

    I think black holes pulverizing you down to an atomic level might be a sort of “requirement” to allow you to exist within an “alternate dimension” you’re potentially entering. Perhaps the conservation of mass and energy doesn’t not simply “poof” out of existence within the confines of a black hole.

    How does this 6 kilometer condensed sun continue to collapse to nothing? Define nothing, define this empty space, because as far as I'm aware, black holes have different masses. My intuition tells me that nothing is a singularity in this context and I'd have to assume that as matter accretes around this singularity, this matter is what creates the mass then? Janna, if this is true? I need your expertise.

      Nothing can escape past the event horizon, and even that could be stated better as nothing with mass (or mass effect like a photon) can accelerate out of the gravitational well of a black hole once past the event horizon.
      The jets are caused by rotating charged particles like a big spinning turbine creating a huge magnetic field pushing out particles with great speed.

    • @jannalevinastro
      @jannalevinastro 9 месяцев назад +2

      The jets do not emanate from inside the black hole. The magnetic fields are seeded in matter around the black hole and the spin of the black hole churns them up and drives hot matter along the field as though they are currents along a wire. All of that happens just outside the black hole

    Levin has a complete wrong idea of a block hole. Although it is called a hole, it is, in spite of what she is saying, far from empty. Its completely filled with mass, so dense that we don't understand how something so dense can exist. But we know for sure it is dense, and certainly not empty. Also, she appears to have no idea of what an event horizon is as she is saying that you could cross the event horizon and you could watch the galaxy evolve behind you. That is plain nonsense, as your time has come to an absolute standstill when you crossed the event horizon. So you cannot be aware of anything, let alone watch the galaxy evolve behind you. It's simply not true!
    BTW the concept of spacetime is a flawed concept and simply wrong. But that's for the future 🙂

      @@pavelpotocek I have studied it extensively. And I think that your idea of how the event horizon functions is wrong, as is that of Levin. As long as time is dilated, the person doesn't perceive the dilation. And for kinetic time dilation, as the speed of light cannot be reached, only asymptotically, time for someone almost travelling at the speed of light doesn't stop. But for gravitational time dilation, at the event horizon, it is different from that, as that can actually be reached and traversed. And then time really stops, and I mean for the person transversing it. For an outside observer it doesn't stop. So it is just the other way around from what you think.

      On the other hand the version of ‘guess work’ on display here is “many of the brightest minds on the planet have spent years developing a theory to describe what happens in a black hole and this is their collectively arrived at best understanding which they can show you maths to back up, and evidence when available (such as the picture they took of the centre of our galaxy) has so far been supporting their predictions”.
      And those are two different things.
      It should also be noted to the lay person that while we can’t directly study the interior of a black hole, all the concepts discussed here such as time dilation, gravitation and the effects of it on space and time, quantum physics and so on are all well studied and verified phenomena because they apply everywhere and not just near to a black hole.
