So if it the radio waves look like what we expected to find, how do scientists know it was just interference? When will they know it wasn't interference?
You heard people say- "it will never be found", "it ain't true", "it just can't be".
I'm here to tell you these People are WRONG- I found it. Using Google Earth -
I found God's Watermarks of the REAL Garden of Eden. Look at my Channel and see the Video I made of it. I didn't point all of it out either- there are many things still hid for you to find. Come see.
If the galaxies 72 billion lightyears away formed 72 billion years ago, wouldn't they be farther away from the center of the explosion of the big-bang because they were the first to be ejected?...and would the central point of the explosion form a universe sized blackhole?
@AtheistToothFairy I didn't state the age of the universe, just the distance/age of some the older galaxies and the time they were created...figuratively speaking.
Honestly what I say holds no merit, I just know from a couple of Darnells videos that they referenced being able to see 72 billion lightyears with...the Hubble Telescope???
Great job over the past year Tony, I've enjoyed all your videos. Just for a laugh I watched Space Fan News #1 again... your videos are so much better after just one year. Looking forward to SFN 2012.
Maybe everything was closer together allowing black holes to consume more matter quickly. Everything is pretty spread out right now and takes billions of years for galaxies to collide.
@mse112233 They will still gain mass, which will increase their gravity thus creating more pull on other mass. I'm not sure if it would actually grow 'larger' in area or become more compact with DE.
Only one year! It feels like I've been watching these videos for longer than that. Well done on these great informative videos you bring the most interesting parts of space news to your followers in a language we all understand and we thank you for it. Happy New Year and keep up the great work I'm looking forward to all the great stuff your going to bring us in 2012...
Great job! I've been following you for a while and really enjoy watching you channel. It's a great way to get caught up on all the relevant space news! Keep up the great job!
I remember Tony, I remember. The first Space Fan News. You were all like, this is the first Space Fan News n' stuff. It was awesome. Happy anniversary!
Great video Darnell. Your videos are an awesome contribution to the people who love and wonder about space. The scripts you write are always very professional and as others have said, don't change your voice. It works very well for these videos and to be perfectly honest I think you would make a great narrator if you chose to make a career or money from it. Such massive black holes so early is very interesting. Keep up the excellent, thought-provoking work. We all appreciate what you're doing!
i think science is making a terrible assumption about time. time doesn't flow consistently. the universe may not be that age, it may be older b/c time could be flowing differently now for us, than it did then. We are measuring in light years, but we know light can travel slower in massive gravity fields, so who's to say that those 13.7 billion yrs to our perspective didn't take 2-3 times longer?
keep it up man you give hope to people like me that maybe one day we could leave this rock and get to see the real things in life, teach the masses how sweet space really is
Tony, just as fclage2 I'm a bit confused over the size of the black holes you mention. Small black holes are perhaps a few km across, stellar class black holes are tens of km across and supermassive ones several AU, right? To me it appears that you're not quite consistent with mass or size. :)
What is the name of the simulation you referenced? I would like to see some dedicated video to that, or just the name of it, maybe I could run it for myself?
@Albyint There's a link in the descrition box that describes it more, but this was run at a supercomputing center, I don't think you'll be able to run it unless you have access to something similar.
The Carnegie Mellon link describes where it was done.
The black hole things is confusing, you need colliding galaxies to create a super massive black holes, but galaxies are created by having a super massive black hole. Sounds like the chicken and egg thing to me. Only being going 1 year, wow it´s seems like you´ve been doing it for decades. Keep up the excellent work you are bringing important information to lots of people in an excellently explained way.
@bicnarok Well, think of it this way: massive stars in the early universe create black holes when they die. Over time, these black holes coalesce into larger and larger ones, eventually trapping stars in orbit around them. This is the very beginnings of a galaxy.
Now, this is a poorly understood mechanism, so there's a lot to be figured out. This may also turn out be wrong, but it's the prevailing view right now.
@aaronCapricorn lols, my first reaction this guy is a typical fruit and nut job off the Internet, but no benefit of doubt and I google "Alex Collier" ,lols result : "Alex Collier claims to be a 'contactee' with a race of Nordic looking humans from the constellation of Andromeda" ......
bye bye aaroncapirorn must be a exciting place in your little universe ,lols as if aliens would look anything like us ,idiot !
I don't understand the rationale for the premise that black holes like to merge into larger black holes. They are geometrically tiny objects, just like stars, and we know that stars collide with a near zero probability when whole galaxies collide. I understand that very close orbits around very massive objects do decay but this has no relevance to this issue. So, can you please tell me what this black holes colliding idea is based upon. Thank you.
Geometric size only pertains to "flat" or 3-dimensional space, not hyperspace in which black holes are huge. Therefore to me, this indicates some type of Einstein-Rosen effect, where space becomes hypercurved to the point that it transcends the hyperlinear surface of flat or "normal" space.
This would create a supermassive gravity-well, where any black hole in this area joins with the other black hole, but objects of lower density simply pass over unaffected.
@SovereignStatesman No offense but I need an answer preferably with numbers. I can imagine many things too, most of which will have no mathematical consistency or physical relevance.
I want to know the probability of merging for black holes of a given mass falling at each other at the speeds of two galaxies colliding face on (in the order of a few hundreds of km/s). Then there's a minimum distance to find and it's probability. In any case, I need numbers and I'm able to verify them.
Offense taken, I doubt you can imagine much. since you can't seem to understand the basic qualitative issue that escape-velocity of black holes is obviously higher than lightspeed, rendering standard such factors void; however you're continuing to dote on distance in flat-space, while ignoring that you can't compare it to objects colliding in normal space by gravity alone.
The distance could be infinite over time, rendering only a question of when.
God this puzzle has been tormenting us for years :( the universe is the ultimate paradox. Every answer turns up yet another mystery, it seems like the universe must ultimately be infinite, since we will always ask what is the cause of the latest solved mystery. But we know that can't be true, or can we. FUUUUU- >,<!!
I'm worried that the answer to everything lies in a level of thinking beyond our monkey brains =(
Also I giggled at how you talk to me as if you are somehow more enlightened than I am on the matter of the universe, when in fact you yourself have most likely made NO meaningful contribution to the study. You are just as much if not more in the dark as any average joe, yet you're passing it off like you're ahead of the curve. Enough fronting sir, I know what you are ^^

I think one can extend the meaning of 'blooper' to include anything that was 'filmed' that wasn't intended, including messed up lines.

i see your video 3 times, my english is bad, i don't undestand how there are big black hole so early....maybe for the solar wind that get off the falling gas?????
@tdarnell you arew lucky beacouse the 90% of the web site of this very interesting thing are in your mother lenguage.... if you give me the permission i could try to translate in Italian using my voice....some of your videos..... and the upload on my channel or send you by megaupload... what do you think????
@londonblock Good idea. I'll look into it. Next week I'll be busy with the AAS, but I like the idea, so I'll try to include it in the week after the meeting.
HEY TONY! WHY DON,T YOU COMMENT ON THE JUST LAUNCHED RUSSIAN INFRARED TELESCOPE, I heard it will have a thousabd times more resolution than hubble, that is very exciting fot us spacefans
@L00NGB00W, While stars that are larger than possible now could form, they were *only* about 300 (I think) times larger than the sun. This is because there weren't any heavy elements, which limit the size of the star.
I think that due to the fact that the universe in it's early stages was a uniform, opaque hydrogen nebula, There's a possibility that unimaginably massive stars (Millions of solar masses) could form. Much larger than what we're familiar with in the cold, condensed universe we know today.
One uranium atom, and one hydrogen atom occupy similar volumes, But it took the fusion of roughly 238 primordial Hydrogen atoms to make it. There were many more atoms back then.
If one of those SETI telescopes gets knocked out of allignment and ends up aimed at Tony's house, the terrestrial microwave readings will blow their minds. A voice resonating in a low octave...then a high octave...wait, back to low.....no right back to high....
The Kepler team would think they discoverd a planet with aliens that go through puberty again in their mid 50s.
If anyone is interested in helping SETI then you can download a program called BOINC. You can download tasks which use your processor power to perform calculations and then send the results back to SETI. There are other groups involved in this and you can use your computer to help with cancer research among other things. Once again - BOINC.
If there were supermassive black holes at the dawn of the universe (< 1 billion years), then those are the earliest ancestors to the generations of black holes that emerge from the collision of galaxies. How many times can a galaxy collide with another in a 14 billion time span?
Also, if the size of the early universe black holes is of the same magnitude as the biggest ones in our closest surroundings, then doesn't that clash with the homogeneity of the universe?
@DarkMatter1958 The Sky at Night is one of the best shows ever done on astronomy. I actually met Patrick Moore in the early 80's in Seattle. We were both attending a meeting and I was able to spend an entire afternoon with him sight seeing.
He gave me a signed copy of his book 'Sky at Night 6', which i still have on my bookshelf.
@lucabaracuda987 I'm still screwing up but I figured I shouldn't do them every time. There are some who don't like them so I thought I'd give them a break.
Besides, I used that time (30 seconds or so) to remind people about the AAS vids coming up next week.
Thanks for your vids man, they are really entertaining. as for my personal opinion the Big bag never happen... Until scientist broad their believe on this we would never understand anything.
Absolutely fascinating news / hypotheses about the earlier supermassive black holes!! Thank you so much for these videos Tony and happy birthday to SFN!!
I am wondering about the simulations used. How do they decide what might be relevant or not? It seems to me that they can make assumptions about processes, look around the point to evidence of their theory. The 'evidence' might be the result of something really different. Who is to say?
@haiguizeify I have a degree in Biochemistry and have much experience with ideas that do not stand up to scrutiny. I am wondering about time scale. I wonder how we can make an assertion about events that take millions or billions of years to unfold when we have no way to observe these events. We look at something and it may be a result of our conclusions and then, again, it may not. Our ideas may be valid, but we have no way to know. The entire "dark matter," debate illustrates
@menthol5 I couldn't explain it accurately, but I assure you that what they're saying is accurate. Theories in physics are arguably the most scrutinized theories out there, mainly due to (like you said) the fact that we have no way to directly observe these events. The easiest way I can say it is there is much glory in mathematics. Although I'm unsure if it will provide much use, you can check out Physics Forums and ask around there. I'm sure you'll get a much more detailed explanation
I glad you did these space fan vids. I have to admit I was slightly worried when these started but I feel you've done I fantastic job keeping us informed. Happy 1 year!
As per your comment on Facebook earlier about the positive comments on your videos- it's probably because you come off as genuine and your passion for astronomy and willingness to teach it is infectious and draws the viewer in, which in turn, garners HUGE respect. Keep 'em coming Tony!

@londonblock Good idea. I'll look into it. Next week I'll be busy with the AAS, but I like the idea, so I'll try to include it in the week after the meeting.

@L00NGB00W, While stars that are larger than possible now could form, they were *only* about 300 (I think) times larger than the sun. This is because there weren't any heavy elements, which limit the size of the star.
notazombieminecraft 1 month ago
I think that due to the fact that the universe in it's early stages was a uniform, opaque hydrogen nebula, There's a possibility that unimaginably massive stars (Millions of solar masses) could form. Much larger than what we're familiar with in the cold, condensed universe we know today.
One uranium atom, and one hydrogen atom occupy similar volumes, But it took the fusion of roughly 238 primordial Hydrogen atoms to make it. There were many more atoms back then.

If one of those SETI telescopes gets knocked out of allignment and ends up aimed at Tony's house, the terrestrial microwave readings will blow their minds. A voice resonating in a low octave...then a high octave...wait, back to low.....no right back to high....
The Kepler team would think they discoverd a planet with aliens that go through puberty again in their mid 50s.

If anyone is interested in helping SETI then you can download a program called BOINC. You can download tasks which use your processor power to perform calculations and then send the results back to SETI. There are other groups involved in this and you can use your computer to help with cancer research among other things. Once again - BOINC.

Gratz Tony.
If there were supermassive black holes at the dawn of the universe (< 1 billion years), then those are the earliest ancestors to the generations of black holes that emerge from the collision of galaxies. How many times can a galaxy collide with another in a 14 billion time span?
Also, if the size of the early universe black holes is of the same magnitude as the biggest ones in our closest surroundings, then doesn't that clash with the homogeneity of the universe?

Excellent Tony,Sadly we,in the UK don't get the same Pragmatic approach to Astronomy.
We get a rather "Romantic" View from our Media and that is Few and far Between.
The excellent "Sky at Night" gets scheduled on TV when everyone is in Bed asleep :(
Keep up the GOOD WORK. The whole Family enjoy your points of view ;)
DarkMatter1958 1 month ago 4
@DarkMatter1958 The Sky at Night is one of the best shows ever done on astronomy. I actually met Patrick Moore in the early 80's in Seattle. We were both attending a meeting and I was able to spend an entire afternoon with him sight seeing.
He gave me a signed copy of his book 'Sky at Night 6', which i still have on my bookshelf.

@lucabaracuda987 I'm still screwing up but I figured I shouldn't do them every time. There are some who don't like them so I thought I'd give them a break.
Besides, I used that time (30 seconds or so) to remind people about the AAS vids coming up next week.

I am wondering about the simulations used. How do they decide what might be relevant or not? It seems to me that they can make assumptions about processes, look around the point to evidence of their theory. The 'evidence' might be the result of something really different. Who is to say?

haiguizeify 1 month ago
@haiguizeify I have a degree in Biochemistry and have much experience with ideas that do not stand up to scrutiny. I am wondering about time scale. I wonder how we can make an assertion about events that take millions or billions of years to unfold when we have no way to observe these events. We look at something and it may be a result of our conclusions and then, again, it may not. Our ideas may be valid, but we have no way to know. The entire "dark matter," debate illustrates

@menthol5 I couldn't explain it accurately, but I assure you that what they're saying is accurate. Theories in physics are arguably the most scrutinized theories out there, mainly due to (like you said) the fact that we have no way to directly observe these events. The easiest way I can say it is there is much glory in mathematics. Although I'm unsure if it will provide much use, you can check out Physics Forums and ask around there. I'm sure you'll get a much more detailed explanation

As per your comment on Facebook earlier about the positive comments on your videos- it's probably because you come off as genuine and your passion for astronomy and willingness to teach it is infectious and draws the viewer in, which in turn, garners HUGE respect. Keep 'em coming Tony!

How can those early black holes be of similar size & mass as of today ???
