[ketanovas]

Why not crate a time lapse of pillars of creation? Should be ant interesting sight also, because i think the gas clouds are quite dynamic.

And the whole god discussion should GTFO!

[DerringerHK]

Everybody shut up! It doesn't matter whether you believe in God or not! Go bitch on some other video because this one is about the pulsars radiating from the neutron star in the crab nebula! THIS IS ASTRONOMY, NOT RELIGION!

[CACBCCCU]

The spin seems allow to neutron decay or charges near the polar axis of the pulsar body. I imagine the spin axis along the star's interior is carrying a large amount of spiralling electrons while surrounding regions might return some of these currents along a straighter pole-to-pole route, a bright ring around each pole of a planetary nebula might be showing return currents getting too hot for the star and overshooting.

[CACBCCCU]

One thing I've noticed in life is that just because a person is ignoring something noticed, it doesn't necessarily mean there is an agreement involved. Anyway, I guess with a huge magnetic field, positely-charged particles would head off in the opposite direction of negatively-charged particles, along the spin axis. Electrons and positrons are the lightest charged particles so they'd be the most energetic. How the electroweak force would produce asymmetry in amounts isn't clear at all to me.

[UshoZeek]

Why everyone is so quick to jump to the conclusion that God doesn't exist makes this video seem irrelevant. Nobody can begin to know what's on the other side, where subspace particles go to when they just disappear, why so much of the universe can't be seen, and how Man kind believes it knows all of the universe composition because it seen it with machines. Very sad. Also annoying how a lot of the scientific population thinks Christians aren't thinkers, or intelligent people.

[slipperywhenwet5]

@UshoZeek Actually, people who believe in God are the ones who claim to know more about the universe. People who don't believe are the ones saying "we don't know, so why assume, based on no evidence, that God is real." When you find evidence, then we'll start to believe.

And what are you talking about? The scientific community as a whole doesn't think anything. There are plenty of intelligent Christians out there. However, Christianity itself has only been detrimental to science.

[tokiohotelyayy]

Just because the bible doesn't explain the whole universe or the planets doesn't mean God doesn't exist! He does exist and it makes me sad/ angry how people like U come onto a video about Crab Pulsar Wind just to say he doesn't. I know you have a right to your own opinion but so do I. If you want to complain about Jesus or God go somewhere else or do it with friends in real life. So people like me don't have to hear about it.....it's just the resecptable thing to do.

[slipperywhenwet5]

@tokiohotelyayy It's not what the Bible doesn't say, it's what it does say.

It says God flooded the planet, killing all humans but a few. However, we have record of civilizations before, during, and after the Flood. The Bible says God created the Universe 6000 years ago, but we know (through carbon dating, among other things) that the universe was created in the Big Bang, 13.7 billion years ago. The Bible is inconsistent with the facts, and there's no evidence that supports God's existence.

[jvigil2007]

@slipperywhenwet5 where does it say the universe started 6000 years ago? and what caused the big bang? whats more logical... the big bang just.......happened, there was nothing to cause it? or something caused it, like lets say... a God.

[slipperywhenwet5]

@jvigil2007 It says God created the Universe, then Adam and Eve shortly after, and there is a good, long chain of people (all of whom lived for hundreds of Years, with no medicine or hospitals or anything else to aid that along) and by adding together the years from when each had a child, it ends up with about 6,000 years to now, give or take a couple thousand.

Also, things on the quantum (smaller then an atom) scale are known to happen for no reason all the time.

[MrXboxt2]

@slipperywhenwet5 You look for evidence of something you couldn't comprehend even if you found it. Your evidence is called "faith," yet you have not found its meaning.

[nilbud]

@tokiohotelyayy You have the mind of a retarded child.

[CACBCCCU]

Seems on further review I was wrong about the size of the Sombrero's ring by a factor of two, it's about the same size as Hoag's ring and the Milky Way, so it seems the cores of all three must be matter. Andromeda apparently fits a double ring size. Seems apparent that, due to intergalactic interactions, Andromeda and the MW are not as "coherent" in their core-region gravitational landscape as Hoag's galaxy or the Sombrero galaxy.

[CACBCCCU]

Another amazing time-lapse, well worth a look: "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Blazar: Time-Lapse Video of Gamma-Ray Sky" at Wired.

[CACBCCCU]

Whether positive quarks are somehow associated with antimatter, the more I look at the Sombrero galaxy, the more I think its core isn't regular matter. The quantum gravity idea I'm using has the graviton always emitted from matter particles such that they start at peak positive phase of a 10^21 meter wave, any positive phase being a conventional attractive phase. Antimatter seems to be the opposite, with gravitons starting at peak negative phase, with that phase being attractive to antimatter.

[CACBCCCU]

Having brought up elsewhere the idea that all positively-charged quarks could conceivably be mostly "antimatter" because the up (+2/3) has twice the charge, but 1/2 the mass, of the down (-1/3), guess I should mention that. So, I'm more comfortable with the word "anti-particle" and less so with the word "anti-matter" as scale increases. "Exotic" (non-condensing) or "dark" matter could be way of referring to antihydrogen or antineutrons, the sort of mass the pulsar may be generating on one side.

[CACBCCCU]

Basically then, for an ideal ring galaxy, one might multiply the Newtonian factor by an absolute sine wave along the poles to get average antimatter density, and multiply the Newtonian factor by a cosine wave around the ring to get average matter density. The dominant wavelength of choice, 10^21 meters is given, by a variation on Dirac's large number's hypothesis, as 10^36 times the proton radius of 10^-15 meters.

[CACBCCCU]

@CACBCCCU "cosine wave around the ring" should be "cosine wave in the ring plane in all directions radially from the core"

This puts the ring radius near the 2nd maximum of the cosine factor, and centers the anti-baryonic bubbles (maybe best to call it dark exotic baryonic matter) near the first maxima of the polar absolute sine factor.

[CACBCCCU]

Antimatter bubbles above and below the MW galactic plane could fit well with a visible 10^21 meter gravity wave property in "standing" form when a single galactic core region is the dominant source of gravitational field for the galaxy. The bubbles appear pinched at both ends, maybe the pinch at the core end is an illusion, I don't know. It suggests mass is very low, not necessarily negative, but antimatter has negative energy. A 10^21m wave could give the bubble an outer barrier and a center.

[CACBCCCU]

A variation of Dirac's large numbers hypothesis came up to me after looking at Hoag's galaxy had prompted me to multiply the Newtonian factor in gravity by the simplest term available (cosine) for producing a wavelength on the scale of 10^21 meters or about 100,000 light-years. It was that a 10^21 meter wave is about 10^36 times the size of a proton and the charge force between two protons is supposed to always be about 10^36 times the gravitational force. Seems antimatter fits right in with it.

[CACBCCCU]

The idea of looking at antimatter as being matter-mimicking holes or bubbles in the dirac sea is appealing in view of these images, and it seems to follow from that idea that the bigger or deeper the bubbles (in other words, more anti-protons that are packed together), the less capacity the antimatter would have for mimicking mass and so the more it would seem to behave like anti-mass.

[CACBCCCU]

I think matter probably never makes it past the event horizon and into the BH. My guess is that an effect of frame-dragging forms a radiating network of dislocations within the accretion ring and these dislocations allow energy to tunnel away in a form energetic enough to re-generate mass. I don't suppose the BH can "evaporate", but that Hawking radiation is basically the same equilibrium process at a smaller scale, dominated by charge flow.

[CACBCCCU]

@CACBCCCU "Hawking radiation" should have been "hypothetical radiation from hypothetical microscopic black holes."

Also, the anti-helium-3 comment was intended to be a comparison to anti-helium-2, the omitted context is artificial production. I guess most of the pulsar's antimatter production is in the form of single anti-protons and positrons to anti-hydrogen.

One more thing, the context of my earlier remark about the "core" with "neutron star-like regions" was supposed to be the galaxy.

[CACBCCCU]

I get the impression the molecular antimatter created is mostly anti-helium-3, and that antimatter is inherently not well-adapted to forming large nuclei or large molecules.

Looking at antimatter as a matter-hole suggests antimatter can have reduced mass, possibly even negative mass, but this mass-lack is obviously not enough to keep the nuclear electromagnetic, weak and strong forces from binding charges into anti-hydrogen. I guess this departs from CPT.

[CACBCCCU]

The black holes at the core probably all tend to line up spinning in the same plane, neutron-starlike regions could form in-between them as they merge, much like mesons between nucleons. Most black holes are probably balanced between up and down-pointed neutron-starlike regions at the inner edge of the accretion disk, producing only gamma rays at the poles. Could be the neutron-star-like regions can produce concentrated lobes of antimatter above and below the galaxy.

[CACBCCCU]

Black holes can push anti-matter out of both poles.Neutron stars just push antimatter out in one direction, which I guess is an impetus, or locus/asymptotic point, for weak force parity violation.

[Zeuts85]

I strongly doubt this is real. There simply wouldn't be enough time to record such an obvious change in a distant celestial body. My expectation would be something like a minimum of 10 years to notice any change at all, and 100 or more years for a change this dramatic. But then, I'm not an astronomer so my intuitions are probably way off the mark.

[debieian]

@Zeuts85 pulsars are different my friend. They are rotating very quickly for a celestial body. Some once every few seconds, others are rotating hundreds times per second. That's why their signals can be audible.

[CACBCCCU]

The antimatter side for each image is the right side, bright with x-rays from particle-pair annihilations. One could say a two-dimensional projection of the Dirac sea is formed on the pulsar-carrying right-angled plane between the jets. If you re-orient the blue image antimatter-jet-side-down, the effect resembles a possibly-time-reversed drain carrying water and some bubbles through a flexible transparent sheet and this sheet divides a lighter luminscent medium from a denser translucent medium.

[PaXx]

Somebody know other space timelapse videos?

[CACBCCCU]

@PaXx Check out the first few seconds of "Pictures from a Strange Galaxy." I think it could be a fake time-lapse, though, because the movement seems too fast for the galactic scale, as if it's FTL. Matter in the galaxy's arm seems to move more than 100 light-years, if I have the size-scale about right. It seems to be a barred galaxy with a body made almost entirely of glowing dust. I suppose the core is a BH. Maybe there's a low-mass supersymmetry break going on there, no real solid idea though.

[PaXx]

@CACBCCCU Yeah, that looked fake, it looks like they've used "content aware scaling" in photoshop, to create it

[CACBCCCU]

@PaXx - That makes sense to me. Thanks.

[CACBCCCU]

@PaXx

How about "M87 Jet - Knot Flaring" ? It's another galactic-scale sequence.

M87's jet has some arguable superluminal associations also, but they don't seem related to the "knot" sequence shown there at the end.

[CACBCCCU]

@PaXx

ESO's site has a video spanning 16 years of stellar motion, looks to me like there is visible gravitational lensing - "Timelapse sequence with VLT and NTT images"

[skvmb]

It's lighting up the matter around it in all directions at the same time. One could not see the distortion except for on the sides.

[GODISMETALLICA]

"Amen"... is that an oxymoron?

[aoakampfer]

I think its probably pulsing in all directions, but we only see the most distortion on the edges of the waves?

[MADKINGSTUDIO]

waves on the right jts on both

[MADKINGSTUDIO]

Why are there waves on only the left side of the pulsar while there are jets on both.

What is it thats rippling on the right?

[yootubematt]

And people think "God" is an unbelievable concept.

Haha, this is a really cool video. Are these waves visible in the normal spectrum, or are the cameras using IR or something?

[puretroubleman]

it says in the description its X-ray and optical

[panameadeplm]

God IS an unbelievable concept

[nilbud]

@Sadin15 Only your mind. Magical thinking is a mental disorder.

[tokiohotelyayy]

@panameadeplm Just because the bible doesn't explain the whole universe or the planets doesn't mean God doesn't exist!

[fl4m31ngfly4]

freaky

[MaiL0MaN5]

holy moly

[thisisspartacus]

Are they rippling AND pulsating like that, or is this an 18 second loop of 1 second worth of frames? Beautiful either way.

[MaiL0MaN5]

its one pulsar but we can see the ripples.

[jonnyrockit]

I would imagine that it took some time to make this video. It looks as if the waves would be moving very long distances at a very high rate of speed. At the speed of light, it would take months at least to travel those distances.

[BarneySaysHi]

It's almost as if someone has thrown a stone in an interstellar pond, rippling the surface... cool!

[thecorduroysuit]

A pulsar is essentially a rotating neutron star, which is formed from the remnants of a collapsed super-massive star. That object in the center would only be about 12-20 miles in diameter, but would be approximately 1.5 times as massive (heavy) as our sun. What you are seeing is a visible field of electromagnetic radiation being emitted from center, as it spins at a rate of about 1000 rps (revolutions per second)

[Kenzofeis]

Can you tell us how this little object can emit horrendous amounts of electromagnetic power manipulating horrendous amounts of matter without exhausting itself?

[wannaseesumfun]

I'll offer an explanation.

Because it's massive, and very very dense. Its hardly little. Its almost inconcievable that our own sun has burned for so long is not?

It will exhaust itself eventually, the universe is just not old enough (or we are so far away from examples) for us to see evidence of exhausted neutron stars.

[Kenzofeis]

There must be some calculations to investigate this, because if a star is driven by fusion it spends fuel on doing stuff, but how then will a "slag ball" that has blown away tremendous amounts energy and matter already be able to sustain a tremendous energy output over several lightyears, with no input?

I think the explanation is in electricity, as in Birkeland-currents. This will open the possibility that black holes, neutronstars don't exist, and novae has a totally different explanation..

[Kenzofeis]

If, as is shown so many times, matter in the universe (mainly charged plasma) is swimming in electric and electromagnetic fields and their "seeking equilibrium" Birkeland-currents, then if you imagine a star being a focalpoint in such a current, and that a powerful surge comes along this powerline, you will see that this sudden superheating and heavily reinforced electric/electromagnetic field will easily expell matter explosively.. Pulsars are merely resonating circuits etc..

[Negatethestars]

i'm guessing that you are refering to black dwarfs.If that's the case then yes our universe(at least the observable universe)isn't old enough for black dwarfs to exist

[greywing81]

whats a black dwarf??

[sanchn0r]

This is true but misses crucial details! All pulsars are neutron stars but not all neutron stars are pulsars. The reason we observe pulsars is because 1) they are within our line of sight and 2) they are really young neutron stars hence their spin is extremely fast. As the neutron star ages, it slows down and so do the pulses. Also it might move away from our line of sight hence no more pulsar :(

[alwa3dalsadek]

what is that

[FilmPA]

Very cool

[jovenemilio]

esta mejor que tu ñaña

[GALACTOSE]

I'm not an expert so you might not care what I say but if i had to guess, I'd say that the immense amount of energy coming from the pulsar (center) is rippling out and liiterally bending space and the light that we can see... This video is very intriguing.

[maassenn]

I like the video. I've viewed M1 through a telescope and it's not the most impressive thing out there. This video makes it a lot more interesting.

[aeglorre]

I have no fuckin idea of what was "interesting" about this clip. But thats probably because I know nothing about the subject. Care to elaborate?

[PaulSiraisi]

Have you ever seen an object that was a light year across MOVE? From here to the sun, by the way, is 8 light minutes.

[jasonhoblin]

currents.

[Fellopian22]

Why is there always a need to know everything about everything why cant we all be like it just happens, and go on with life and not be consumed and driven to know everything, why cant we all just sit back and live life?

[DiegoRiccardi]

Because living life isnt an infinite experience. Maybe there isnt always something more to discover and maybe the "infinite" finishes. I cant sit back for all my life without boring me (and sometimes life is painful too). Anyway this discussion with u all is interesting, I'll add it to my blog.

[Joshhh81]

Because human beings have an insatiable need for validity. They can't live with the fact that human life is a futile and frivolous existance. They want to matter. They will stop at nothing to feel important. They will even go so far as inventing superior entities that favor them just to make themselves feel special and 'looked after'. If the Sun swallowed the earth, it wouldn't even make a splash. Life is meaningless and then you die.

Science over religions, Science for the Absolute Truth

[Joshhh81]

While I do agree that science should take precedence over religion, I do not agree with you that science is absolute truth. There is no such thing as absolute truth. Thats where humanity went wrong to begin with, believing that absolute truth exists and that it can be found in religion. Truth evolves and changes, it is subjective and conditional. Truth is NEVER constant and absolute.

[Devilocke]

Actually, there is a such thing as absolute truth.

It is absolute truth that fire is hot, for example. It is absolute truth that my heart pumps blood.

Some things are subject to change, but other things are definite.

[scamon01]

It is not absolute truth that fire is hot. It is hot only relative to some reference point. A campfire is not hot compared to the sun.

[sPiN87x]

agreed that there exists absolute truth, but it can only be found in math.

[Joshhh81]

Yeah, you all stay at the top of your sugar mountain and hold onto that hope that humanity has evolved to a point where absolute truth can even be precieved, measured and acknowledged and in the meantime I will remain in my humble state of ignorance at the bottom of the sugar mountain holding on to the great certainty that that all truths are temporary and not universally applicable. Complacent and arrogant fools. .sigh.

[andergriff]

To give you an idea of scale, you're looking at a frame that encompasses about 20 to 50 light years across. This thing is HUGE.

[andrewd2]

Wow, that is amazing.

Thank you for posting! Enjoyed.

Yeah...thus the name, "time-lapse". What did you think time-lapse was, anyway?

[tonicboy]

"Yeah...thus the name, "time-lapse". What did you think time-lapse was, anyway?"

*lol* It's an animation where the frames are taken very far apart but played back much faster to create the illusion of time passing quickly. Do you see anything about looping in that definition?!

[bustacrab]

That looks like just 3 images looped over and over...

[Jimmyikon]

that's becuase it is.
