What happens when two black hole event horizons overlap, but their singularities don't collide? Worse yet, what happens to a particle in the overlapping zone, which black hole gets the mass when the event horizons no longer overlap?
Dunno why the two videos were combined... I would have rather heard why if there is a black hole in the center of a galaxy, why is the center so bright? Or why the galaxies don't get sucked right into the black holes that are in the middle of them...
@chopperboi89 There are more than just black holes in the centres of galaxies. Millions of stars orbit them just as the planets orbit the sun. They don't just travel straight toward one another, they spin round and round.
Just a thought i have had for awhile now, but could this process be how the universe was created? black holes merging and merging until eventually there is only 1 galaxy left in the universe with a black hole bigger then imagination. and eventually it gobbles up its galaxy then all the matter in the universe would be at one tiny point gravity so great is sucks the universe back onto its self. then bam big bang, a constant cycle of rebirth for the universe
the polarity of the neutron switches and the areoelastic flutter of the positronic radiation creates neutrinos which then creates a god like masses know as the televisions

I have a question and I hope I can formulate this so that you understand it. We all know that the universe is expanding but wouldn't that mean that the vacuum in the universe is getting bgger and bigger over time? Because it is the same mass in a bigger space. OR do I have to think of the universe as "growing" and not as expanding. OR there is some point where more mass and matter is coming from, witch might be the point where the big bang was. (I'll write 2 comments because i don't any symbols)
@highguyontour So, this is part 2 to tho top comment, I have no idea of physiks (I'm 14) so there re probably many many holes in my "theory". I would love if you could answer.
As there would be equal forces pulling from each black hole (if they were a similar size), would there be a moment when they are almost merged that you could see the sources?
@EnglishDog1966 We know for sure certain things about our universe, so by using the calculations we know is real we can calculate theories of how the universe works, we are not saying every theory is bulletproof but we must have it pretty right.
You win, i'm sorry. Must have been watching the news that night! I love science too, just get narley when I see the economy stuff. Better not to even watch!
Bla Bla Bla. Bunch of crap. Who knows, who cares. All this so called brain power could be used for more productive pursuits. Could be this, could be that, what difference does it make. Nothing better to do than conject on interesting but mindless crap. Get a real job instead of living off of the national school budgets. Money could be spent to help in better places!
@nicheguy1 Seeking to understand the world, the solar system, the galaxy, and the universe in which we live is not a productive pursuit? If that isn't productive, then what, praytell, is? Just because knowledge cannot be touched, felt, tasted, or smelt does not make the pursuit thereof a futile venture. It is just as valid as more mainstream pursuits--and not only that, you have these sorts of thinkers to thank for the mighty leaps society as a whole has made. Kindly show some respect.
I have a question about when they merge and form 1 Black hole, how does the Singularity in the core of the black hole react to the interaction and alien contact with another black hole, does 1 of the Singularities just disperse or do they merge to a bigger one??
Having been a fortunate recipient of an angle on one of those green flashes, I can state that the cost and effort for my pilot's license was well worth it.
And a point to ponder: because the musician knows how music is made, is the beauty of the music diminished? My Majick 8 ball says "Sources say 'no'."
@thebeetalls Light (and anything else) can escape a black hole, as long as it hasnt passed over the "Event Horizon". Beyong this nothing can escape, but it is possible to be in orbit around a black hole :D
How do black holes release energy, what makes them "black" is their ability to suck up energy, isn't it? wouldn't they just suck up any energy they release?
@thebeetalls Black implies that it doesn't release visible light. X-rays, Gamma Rays, Microwave, Infrared. are all possibilities to be ejected from a black hole and for it to remain black. But I do see your point, super high gravity that can pull in light, definitely lends the thought that nothing can escape. ( I do think something non-visible escapes)
Regarding the sunset thing, I would make the analogy to something like hunger: just because I know why I'm feeling hungry right now, doesn't stop me from feeling hungry. Everyone wonders at beauty.
@MRDisturbed24 A black hole is a load of mass in a very small space. Anything that gets drawn into it joins it, and the mass increases. They're called "black holes" but that sort of gives the wrong impression.
Knowledge does not diminish one's appreciation of the nature of the universe, in fact the opposite occur's with knowledge come's understanding, with understanding come's appreciation, with appreciation come's respect, with respect come's Love....
Why would a black hole merger be more likely than a star collision (thought to be very rare)? Unless black holes happen to be on a collision course, shouldn't they be more likely to form stable orbits around one another like binary stars? The few stars near Sag A don't seem to get "sucked" in, why would another black hole? Maybe relative masses between black holes tend to be greater than stars? Or some effect like frame dragging near a spinning black hole prevents a stable oribt?
@Ormaaj The cross section is increasing with the mass and the diameter of the objects. Galactic black holes are very massive and very big (compared to stars). And even if they miss at the first time, they emit gravitational waves and lose energy -> they come closer together.
'Friction' (impact of objects) from flying through the other galaxy helps, too.
@Helge129 Not necessarily. Initially their gravity should be <= that of the star from which they were formed. And it isn't totally obvious that more gravity equals unstable orbits. If you had two objects whose relative gravities are of the same ratio my guess would be that you can go to any scale without their influence on one another changing very much.
@sixtysymbols im very interested in physics and I love your videos my dad is an inventor down in the states and right now im taking physics in school im just wondering how you guys got to the posistion you are in now and if you can suggest what i should take in college or university thanks
@ILOVEHIPPIEFLIPS Yes, if it is large enough you can pass the horizon without noticing and it would be another million yeas before you reach the singularity.
interesting, but this kind of concept faintly reminds me of fox news fear tactics. can we capture back emf yet? and might that be relevant more to the times?
On a more serious note. How strong is the vacuum of space? I can remember hearing that on the lunar lander you had to be careful what you touched when you were inside it because some areas were as thin as tinfoil. I forget who said it, but it was during an interview I was watching on TV. I couldn't help but think the guy was full of shit because how could something as thin as tinfoil hold up to the vacuum of space?
@counterclockwise123 If the inside of the ship is also a vacuum it would probably work great. Or maybe the foil wasn't part of the actual exterior structure but rather just some thing on the inside.
I don't get the argument that knowledge detracts from beauty. The reason we study the world is Because it is So beautiful and wonderful that we actually care to learn something about it.
If you ask a geologist about mud or rock, you'll see them glow with wonder as they explain their nature. The same is true for all scientist and science.
There's just no fun in studying the ugly. if you ask the people studying what is aesthetically displeasing why they do it, the answer usually blows your mind.
The only way one can understand a black hole is to understand the stuff that existed before the Big Bang event for that is the stuff at the core of a black hole. A singularity is the closest description we have to date of this substance!
I'm not a physicist, but how can one black hole bounce from another, if any object within event horizon should have a velocity exceeding speed of light to leave it?
I think it might be that the event horizons are never actually crossed in this circumstance. The Holes might not technically be bouncing of each other, but bouncing off the warped space around them... I dunno... =\
I was thanked!!! It was a pleasure to participate even in the smallest way to this brilliant project - thanks again Brady for each and every video. How about one on QED (as an excuse for everyone to talk about Feynman some more as well as explaining his theories)?
@sixtysymbols I am sorry but I don't think it does answer my question. But, sorry, let me restate my question. If the Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff limit is reach than it will form a black hole, and there should be millions or billions of stars that should qualify. So are there more black holes than just the ones in the center of the galaxies? Are there black holes just orbiting in a galaxy like other stars and clouds?
@sixtysymbols OMYGRAVITY I just had an astronomy test on black holes and used the Schwarzschild radius equation :D I think i did pretty well, although I had to think really hard about explaining the presence of the virtual particles and relate it to the Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle! Although not sure if i did it right I also related it to the Hawking radiation which i hope was the right thing to do.. But could you enlighten me and all of us who are confused about the latter stuff?? kthx :D
@sixtysymbols i think you should do a quick series of "dating reels" for each of the professors involved. They just state some little quirks they have, where they went to school, what majors/doctorates/etc they have and why they enjoy their particular field. That would be great fun for me to watch!
@sixtysymbols1:53-2:10 How can two black holes ricochet off each other taking to account their immense gravitational pull. I thought the event horizon seals the deal when it came to matter.
@jnthnbush They are practically everywhere, possibly even in our uppermost atmosphere layers (only small, short-lived ones, tough). Actually, they're pretty common stuff in the universe.
@salerio61 learned about it in a college class called, Physics of Light in Art and Nature. I always loved rainbows and I thoroughly enjoyed the session about Meteorology.
@jnthnbush I remember the lecture we covered it in. Something like your title actually. It was one of the most boring lectures I've ever attended lol Mind it was a killer position for a lecture, after dinner and before the bar :)
It was one of these places you go away from your usual university to a specialist college for a week to play with stuff that your own institution doesn't have. Gosh it was intensive that time.
Here's a question I'd love answered: Consider a universe with two atoms. If the forces between two atoms are quantized, how far away do the atoms have to be so that the quantum influence is minimized, and if they moved further than that, I suppose they'd never be able to influence each other ever again? That is, wouldn't space be defined by these two atoms, and if their 'distance' was too large, we'd end up splitting the universe in two?
It is not that having preconceptions detracts from one's experience of the beauty of a sunset, but that preconceptions are capable of showing to a physicist only a mechanical kind of universe and to a poet only a fluid.
As Carl Sagan said, "It is sometimes said that scientists are unromantic, that their passion to figure out robs the world of beauty and mystery... It does no harm to the romance of the sunset to know a little bit about it."
its unfortunate that you dont get to see the milky way clearly. here in aus, i guess we take things like that for granted. and the awesome sunsets we get.
I'd actually like to know about what happens to time and space when black holes collide, since I've heard black holes have the ability to warp both in their event horizon via frame shifting.
In one of Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson's PBS specials he said something about there possibly being a pathway for going back in time when the event horizons of two black holes cross ,and I was wondering if that was actually possible, and if so, would spaghettification still occur for the matter in that path?
It's always amazing to me to hear people talk about going out into the country and witnessing for the first time being able to see the Milky Way. I've lived in Colorado my whole life, and the view is relatively common (I can't think of anywhere where it would take more than an hour's travel, and generally half that,to see the MW), and particularly was when I was younger. I'm fascinated to hear people talking about the revelation of it.
I love reading the comments on these videos because it's clearly full of intelligent people, not 12 year olds calling each other noobs. Great video :D
i just love these videos. Plus I have to say, you make it very easy to understand, not just by explaining but by your speech, too. Though english ist not my native Language, I can still understand everything! :)
I Also think of the science behind the sunset or any spectacular show on the sky and enjoy it even more... Problem is when I share that moment with someone, that other someone will just get puzzled and lost killing the moment :|
I agree with them, when you know more about, let's say, the human body, you'll understand it better and you find it even more wonderful and beautiful than before. I think this happens with every scientific issue and it is one of the many great things about learning.
Thank you so much for doing this videos, they keep my mind alive.
The sunset question was a little odd. For example, a guy looking at a fantastic car can appreciate it but surely the mechanic or enthusiast that has knowledge and understanding of the internal workings and performance will have an enhanced appreciation. It's the first guy that has the diminished appreciation, surely?
I've got a question for you! I'm not a physicist, so I may be asking something completely out of context and/or stupid. But here it goes:
Could dark matter or other things be "in" those extra dimensions you talked about in a previous video, so the only think we know/see/feel about them is their gravitational field?
I've thought about this for some time, but I'm probably proving my ignorance about the subject.

There's just no fun in studying the ugly. if you ask the people studying what is aesthetically displeasing why they do it, the answer usually blows your mind.

The only way one can understand a black hole is to understand the stuff that existed before the Big Bang event for that is the stuff at the core of a black hole. A singularity is the closest description we have to date of this substance!

Do the blackholes spin in the same direction or it can spin against each other?

I'm not a physicist, but how can one black hole bounce from another, if any object within event horizon should have a velocity exceeding speed of light to leave it?
PhantasyStarOST 1 year ago
@PhantasyStarOST
I think it might be that the event horizons are never actually crossed in this circumstance. The Holes might not technically be bouncing of each other, but bouncing off the warped space around them... I dunno... =\

@jnthnbush have ypu seen our black hole video about the Schwarzschild radius radius... the second part of that answers your question very well!
It's titled "Black Holes - Sixty Symbols"

@sixtysymbols I am sorry but I don't think it does answer my question. But, sorry, let me restate my question. If the Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff limit is reach than it will form a black hole, and there should be millions or billions of stars that should qualify. So are there more black holes than just the ones in the center of the galaxies? Are there black holes just orbiting in a galaxy like other stars and clouds?

@sixtysymbols OMYGRAVITY I just had an astronomy test on black holes and used the Schwarzschild radius equation :D I think i did pretty well, although I had to think really hard about explaining the presence of the virtual particles and relate it to the Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle! Although not sure if i did it right I also related it to the Hawking radiation which i hope was the right thing to do.. But could you enlighten me and all of us who are confused about the latter stuff?? kthx :D

@sixtysymbols i think you should do a quick series of "dating reels" for each of the professors involved. They just state some little quirks they have, where they went to school, what majors/doctorates/etc they have and why they enjoy their particular field. That would be great fun for me to watch!

@sixtysymbols 1:53-2:10 How can two black holes ricochet off each other taking to account their immense gravitational pull. I thought the event horizon seals the deal when it came to matter.

@jnthnbush They are practically everywhere, possibly even in our uppermost atmosphere layers (only small, short-lived ones, tough). Actually, they're pretty common stuff in the universe.

@jnthnbush I remember the lecture we covered it in. Something like your title actually. It was one of the most boring lectures I've ever attended lol Mind it was a killer position for a lecture, after dinner and before the bar :)
It was one of these places you go away from your usual university to a specialist college for a week to play with stuff that your own institution doesn't have. Gosh it was intensive that time.
The bar was calling

Here's a question I'd love answered: Consider a universe with two atoms. If the forces between two atoms are quantized, how far away do the atoms have to be so that the quantum influence is minimized, and if they moved further than that, I suppose they'd never be able to influence each other ever again? That is, wouldn't space be defined by these two atoms, and if their 'distance' was too large, we'd end up splitting the universe in two?

It is not that having preconceptions detracts from one's experience of the beauty of a sunset, but that preconceptions are capable of showing to a physicist only a mechanical kind of universe and to a poet only a fluid.

As Carl Sagan said, "It is sometimes said that scientists are unromantic, that their passion to figure out robs the world of beauty and mystery... It does no harm to the romance of the sunset to know a little bit about it."

I'd actually like to know about what happens to time and space when black holes collide, since I've heard black holes have the ability to warp both in their event horizon via frame shifting.
In one of Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson's PBS specials he said something about there possibly being a pathway for going back in time when the event horizons of two black holes cross ,and I was wondering if that was actually possible, and if so, would spaghettification still occur for the matter in that path?

It's always amazing to me to hear people talk about going out into the country and witnessing for the first time being able to see the Milky Way. I've lived in Colorado my whole life, and the view is relatively common (I can't think of anywhere where it would take more than an hour's travel, and generally half that,to see the MW), and particularly was when I was younger. I'm fascinated to hear people talking about the revelation of it.

I agree with them, when you know more about, let's say, the human body, you'll understand it better and you find it even more wonderful and beautiful than before. I think this happens with every scientific issue and it is one of the many great things about learning.
Thank you so much for doing this videos, they keep my mind alive.

The sunset question was a little odd. For example, a guy looking at a fantastic car can appreciate it but surely the mechanic or enthusiast that has knowledge and understanding of the internal workings and performance will have an enhanced appreciation. It's the first guy that has the diminished appreciation, surely?

I've got a question for you! I'm not a physicist, so I may be asking something completely out of context and/or stupid. But here it goes:
Could dark matter or other things be "in" those extra dimensions you talked about in a previous video, so the only think we know/see/feel about them is their gravitational field?
I've thought about this for some time, but I'm probably proving my ignorance about the subject.
