D: God I cant understand any of this for the life of me ITs so interesting but there are so many terms I have no knowledge of that this information just goes over my head. You made it extremely simple but I think I need to go back to your videos explaining Red Giants.
So if a white dwarf has no companion star and it then becomes a black dwarf, wouldn't it be considered a planetary object similar to Earth? It then needs to find a main-sequence star and latch on to its gravity, thereby creating the embryonic state of a solar system. Is that possible?
+Dan Hilbert I doubt that is what happens to a black dwarf, since it is composed of carbon and oxygen, it is unlikely it can become a planet. The most likely event is that it floats in space for eons without attaching to a star, and gradually loses it's heat and mass.
Watched this post twice,just to make sure i understood it,informative, thanks.
Sir.. You have completely saved my exam!
really helpful! thanks
yes really helpful for my study. Thank you!
