Black Hole Inhaling Space?

06/28/2017 8:04 AM

If the theoretical rotational speed of a black hole is limited to slightly below the speed of light,then how is the conservation of momentum conserved for very large black holes?

What happens to the rotational energy when the max speed is reached and other rotating masses are sucked into the event horizon?

The only way I can imagine this is for the black hole diameter to become infinitely smaller,instead of physically larger, to the point that here is actually nothing at the bottom except pure energy so intense that it warps spacetime.Matter and energy are simply different forms of the same thing,are they not?

Could this be a possible source of dark energy?

Physicists have recently created a "Black Hole" in a bathtub,using a green flourescent or phosporescent dye,and filmed the action of the waves around the pseudo- black hole.They found that the actions closely conform to theoretical models of black holes and wave behavior.

As a kid,I observed the sinkhole formed as the water went down the drain,and at a certain point,it began to suck air down as well.Could black holes also suck down "space" from whatever is outside of our visible universe.Could the black hole create a hole in space time through which "External Space" is added to our own?

Could this be the cause of the expanding universe?

I have heard that it is preposterous to even think about anything outside of our universe,because ours is the only one that exists.

I do not agree with that idea.

My knowledge of such matters is very limited,and enlightenment from the community is welcome.

When rigid solid is spinning the outer surface is moving at the highest linear speed, so if the linear speed of the outer portion of a black hole is turning at close to the speed of light, everything more central would presumably have a lower linear speed.

There might be frame dragging effects that become significant for very large black holes.

If another large diameter object is spinning fast and collides with a black hole, even though it spins more rapidly at a smaller diameter there energy to reach the speed of light would be infinite....so it won't attain it.

.

"Could this be the source of dark energy". I doubt it. Dark energy seems to be sourced from not knowing exactly what is wrong with our understanding, but knowing just enough to understand we aren't correct.

.

Not sure about the rest.

Time dilation effect: Items at the periphery of the singularity (the black hole), experience time as "normal" within their frame of reference, however, just "below" them time is even further dilated to slow down to nothing, and just "above" them time appears to be "sped" up.

No way to measure the rotation of the mass that is part of the super-massive object of the singularity. All of the mass is statistically equivalent within a black hole, thus no marker of surface rotation. Even if you detect a rotation (which you cannot, other than manifested angular momentum effects), it would not appear to be rotating at the speed of light, but would appear "slow".

Even thought length would be contracted due to relative motion, it still takes more time to move from A to B.

"...No way to measure the rotation of the mass that is part of the super-massive object of the singularity. ..."

Frame dragging resulting from rapidly spinning super massive objects provides a way to measure the rotation....and even a way that energy is extracted.

Interesting article, but I never encountered the terms "frame dragging", please explain.

Do you mean gravitational waves due to the swirling of colliding super-massive black holes?

Are you saying the magnitude of jets of black holes relate to what quantity of matter and the subdivision thereof acquired? I.e. black holes that have effectively absorbed other black holes (or the merger of two equals), have bigger jets than one that just eat the near galactic core?

Assume an object is at rest,and it creates a stationary "dent" in space time.If the object is rotating,the elasticity of spacetime creates a dragging effect,a twisting, so to speak in spacetime.

This happens ever with the Earth and other massive objects, not just black holes.

I am not following. If the massive object with its gravity well can distort the gravity well by spinning on its CoM, then there must be friction between mass and space-time, and I think that is bullshine.

If a mass can "dent" space time,it must have some ability to "attach" to space time,or the mass would simply pass right through.

Consider spacetime has the ability to penetrate the core of all matter,even to the smallest element.It is a longer path through than around the object,so spacetime deflects,like light hitting water will deflect.

Spacetime is an energy field,and the slower,deflected parts of the field lag behind the main field,due to the longer path taken.

If you spin a glass sphere,and the sphere is filled with tiny glass spheres,the view through it is distorted,likewise with spacetime.

If you could spin it fast enough,and your eyes were quick enough, you might would see the images coming through as a spiral,twisted image.

Frame dragging has been confirmed to an accuracy of about 19 percent by the Gravity B satellite experiment, centered on the theoretical prediction.

So it's been confirmed that frame-dragging exists, we're just quibbling about the exact numbers in the equation.

That's good enough for me as an Engineer. I don't need to know the exact speed that a 1.25kg spherical object falls under a 1.01g acceleration, I just need to know whether to put the catch basket OVER or UNDER the apple tree.

Frame dragging is related to Mach's principal in that if the local indication of what is spinning or not comes from all the distant masses of stars surrounding, then it also would likely be related to a very massive spinning object in close proximity.

Essentially it appears that space time has significant viscosity.

Re: Black Hole Inhaling Space?

My understanding of nature is that it always takes the path of least resistance.If an object expands,it is due to one of at least two forces:Internal pressure that exceeds the internal pressure,or inversly,outside pressure the decreases below the inside pressure.

So which is it that is causing cosmic expansion?Internal or external forces?

The density of spacetime seems to be decreasing,so that rules out internal forces.

Have external influences been considered?

Just because something is decreasing in pressure doesn't mean it has a pressure lower than something else already....but ignore that it is a distraction.

I don't think a model that proposes something physically external to our universe will be very helpful. Anything physically external that might communicate via a boundary would still be part of this universe. I don't think using a model that presumes the universe has an external boundary or some place it is expanding into will help get it properly sorted.

A fish thinks the universe is made of water,with no concept of anything else.

The tides and waves would be ascribed as an internal force in his universe.

Yet there are many outside influences in his world that are external.

Likewise,with our universe.

To refuse to consider that there are external spaces or forces beyond our detection is very small minded,IMHO.

Before Hubble,the Milky Way was was considered to be the entire universe.

It reminds me of old maps that had the warning, and I paraphrase here,"Terra Incognito.Beyond here there be monsters."

The monsters are guarding many treasures beyond the edge of the known universe,but we must think beyond the monsters.

I definitely not saying we can see it all or lnpw about all of it.

What I am saying is that the term 'universe' describes the whole of everything physical in this reality. I'm not saying I know what is at the edge, I'm saying there is no edge.

Not because the universe might not be infinite, but because any space or matter 'outside' wouldn't really be outside, it would just me more of this universe.

The female in this video has it right concerning the universe...

Not sure if your ad homenem attack is a result of pluralistic ignorance or false consensus bias, but either way I'm curious to know more about the subculture of which you speak. Care to share a url?

That is: ad hominem,to be precise and pedantic.

I could say a lot of things if I wished to insult you,such as:

It is only offensive to those that fit the description I gave.

Do you go to such websites?

If not,you should not be offended.

Why are you curious to know more about them?

Do you feel inferior?

Have you checked your finger length to affirm your true nature?

I have always heard that when you throw a stone into a pack of dogs,the one that gets hit will always yell.

But I will not say all of those things,because I strive to be civil on all things,and only get provoked out of my civility by stubborn ignorance.

I am not saying you are stubbornly ignorant, and I have not been provoked ,I am just saying what provokes me.

Feel better now?

It certainly seemed like your comment was aimed at me, given the order of responses. If it was not, then I don't have to ponder at the curious aggression.

Whatever the case I am curious about different aspects of culture. I am also curious about the Yanomami. That doesn't mean I secretly believe I am one of the Yanomami. It doesn't mean I desire to live a technologically primitive life in the Amazon. Things I am interested in do not have to describe me or be anything I necessarily aspire to be. I bet you also find things interesting that you don't necessarily believe yoirself to be nor aspire to be.

You do seem to have mistaken my reaction for one of 'yelling' 'offended' or 'provoked'. I was offering up some possible explanation for exactly how you previously got so off track...and at the same time not wanting to let the opportunity slip by of getting some insight iinto this culture you seem to have insight into.

Likewise, if you are reading this response with any form of anger overt or in the subtext, you have it wrong. Any anger you are reading might be closer to home. I'm not vested enough in your opinion to be provoked by what you say. I find you curious and at times entertainig, but not worth getting upset about.

There are other sites for that stuff, or so I've heard.

Stop fixating on the weiner and just listen to the lyrics...the part the female sings.

Jeeze, what do you do at the races? About half of all horses have a weiner...and it probably makes them feeo strange if you won't stop staring.

"Stop fixating on the weiner(A) and just listen to the lyrics...the part the female sings(B)."

A) It's in the bleeding THUMBNAIL, bigger than life. You can't even browse this thread without that very NSFW image showing up on your monitor.

B) I've heard the song before, I know the point she's making. I'm not arguing the point, just the appropriateness of the presentation for this forum.

"Jeeze, what do you do at the races? About half of all horses have a weiner...and it probably makes them feeo strange if you won't stop staring."

First off, I don't go to the horse track, I'm not a gambling type, secondly I am not offended by seeing animal genitalia, it's there, they don't have the level of culture to wear pants, so we deal with it as civilized people; by not talking about it or sharing images of it in public forums.

Finally, this isn't about my reaction to a horse wiener, it's about the fact that YOU dragged a horse wiener into the forum and dropped it on the carpet for everyone to see.

No he did not. He dragged an cartoon image of an erect horse penis into the forum.

I am dismayed. A stud horse, or a mare are both magnificent animals and should be degraded in such a way. Remember that Muhammed (Blessed is his name) flew to Allah on such an animal (with wings). Just be glad we only have to pray five times a day, and not 50 as was initially commanded by Allah. If you would not put an image of Jesus forth in such a manner, nor would Jesus do it, why would you put forth an image of Muhammed (Blessed is his name), or the horse he rode up on?

Some of you out there deserve to be rammed in the butt by the horns of a large male goat.

No more hummus for you, and you certainly cannot have my hummus recipe, or my chicken schnitzel recipe until you demonstrate you love all creatures great and small.

What I have been alluding to is that that video and its thumbnail could get truth in trouble with the admins:

As the CR4 Rules of conduct, rule #3 says:

"Please avoid using unsavory language, profanity and/or foul imagery. It is unnecessary to use profanity. Doing so may get your post pulled and even result in your removal from the site. Photos and images containing nudity or the suggestion thereof, foul language, or any other material that violates the CR4 Rules will be removed. Final judgment about what constitutes "foul, vulgar or unsavory" belongs to the moderation team. This site is used by people of all ages, and we seek to maintain a family-friendly atmosphere. Please keep this in mind when participating."

I never said the video or its thumbnail offended me personally. On another site, where such things are allowed and expected, I would likely praise the artistic merits of the production and possibly make a witty double entendre joke. But this site is not THAT site, and we are all responsible for keeping things 'family friendly' and 'safe for work.' There are examples of 'the Universe is, by definition all there is' that don't make people concerned about what would happen if the HR manager walked by while they were scrolling through this thread.

I am tempted to argue it is an engorged outie horse navel, and that it is you who has weinerized the image for all that read our exchange....

but enough is enough, and you have been fair enough and downright civil in the face of significant enticement to be otherwise. You are right. I apologize.

I have done what I can to hide it from those just skimming.

Thank you, I felt that your choice in example was not an intentional attempt to violate the rules of conduct, which is why I was trying to be subtle and give you every chance to correct it before the 'higher ups' got involved.

We may not agree on every thing, or even many things, however, as long as we remain patient and civil with each other we can share this site in harmony and engage in the simple pleasures of life...

...such as ridiculing those people who post stupid questions anonymously. They KNOW they're being stupid, otherwise they wouldn't think to hide.

"Before Hubble,the Milky Way was was considered to be the entire universe."

Hubble, the man, or Hubble the Telescope? I am sure we knew about other galaxies before Hubble Telescope. (Otherwise what would Carl Sagan have been blathering on about billions and billions of galaxies for. Other than that,

I am certain there are not billions and billions of these, even in the latter model numbers.

My bad! I was referring to the man.I will be more specific in the future.

As for the "billions and billions of galaxies", the Hubble (TELESCOPE not the man), was aimed at a dark void where no light was detected.The lens was opened for a very long period of time.Slowly,the photons drifted in,one by one, and what emerged was billions of galaxies in a supposedly void part of space.

"Before Hubble, the Milkyway was considered to be the entire universe"

.

Perhaps by some, but almost 200 years prior, Wright left evidence of thoughts otherwise.

Now you are just being lazy. Please do elaborate. LOL

What if pressure has nothing to do with it. Wrong analogy.

What if the limiting factor is the rate of communication of gravitons with the center of mass of the Universe? Just throwing that out there for the buzzards to pick it down to the bones, then the mice will come and eschew the bones to dust.

According to current theory,there is no "center" of the universe and nothing external .

Jorrie's son posted a graphic that illustrated it very elegantly,but I cannot find it.

Basically,the universe looks the same when viewed for any point in the universe.

Humans used to think that the Earth was the entire universe.

Then, they thought, our Solar system was it.

Then, until Edwin Hubble, they though the Milky Way galaxy was the only galaxy.

Still sure our universe is the only one?...

Universe; Middle English, from Latin universum, from neuter of universus entire, whole, from uni- + versus turned toward..

You used to think that the entire physical you was just a little kid.

Then, you thought the physical you was a teenager.

Then you thought you were all grown up as an adult.

But even after that you have been noticing a few extra pounds.

Are you still sure you know how much of the physical you exists? Come on, isn't it narrow minded to think that there is only one physical body of you which you consciously inhabit?

I fail to see the logic in that, but I can see where you would. You apparently see a complete human being as just the physical parts (as would Victor Frankenstein).

However, I have a shocking update for you: You have a human spirit (and I think you even exercise it from time to time), and a human soul (it is the part that makes you self-aware, contemplative, able to comprehend your own brain, able to look out at the universe with wonder, and makes you able to be inspired to create.

The human soul has apparently been weighed before, and I know you will call balderdash on that, but the feat was accomplished in France, if I am not mistaken. Yes, they were aware of the final expiration of the lungs also.

Put your outrage and condescension down for a moment, no one wants to steal those.

I am only saying that anything that might be interacting with this universe, as in something outside into which expansion would theoretically be occurring, wouldn't meet criteria for being distinct from this universe. That isn't an ascertion of physics or philosophy, it is a definition of the term 'universe'.

Lexical semantics,conceptual semantics,lexical semantics;I am sure you know what we are talking about,and you are being deliberately pedantic to extend the subject when you really have nothing of value to add to the conversation.

You know you still haven't rebutted the main problem with your assertion. There is nothing for this universe to expand into (or to contain its expansion). There is no border across which it might expand. Anything in physical communication would still be this universe and no arbitrary dilineation based on how far you can see is going to make a hill of beans of difference.

Your ad homenem attack do nothing to shore up your ideas.

Taking the word "universe" literally,you are correct.

My mistake was not stating"Observable Universe" to eliminate confusion.

Please reconsider my original post with the "Universe" substituted with "Observable Universe"

"Dimension" would also suit my meaning as well.

Dark matter could also be "scar tissue" in the spacetime fabric where the tear was made by the black hole.

Dark energy could be caused by the conversion of matter to energy by the black hole,and spewed out in a far distant,currently unobservable, area of our universe,parts of which are moving away faster than C.

Matter is simply a very condensed form of energy,and the appearance of excess energy from apparently nowhere could be from this conversion of matter to energy.

Has anyone compared the theoretical missing dark energy with the calculated quantity of all the matter consumed by black holes?

'Observable universe'?

Well, of course there is stuff where we can't see. What, have we been making sure at least one person is always awake so the universe as we know it doesn't disappear when we all have our eyes closed?

Regardless of the implications of the importance of an observer in quantum mechanics, you should have some belief in continuity beyond just what we can keep our eyes on.

You talk about pressure inside and outside. If you are thinking the universe that we can observe has been expanding nicely along the border defined by the limits of our possible observation into that portion which is beyond out observation, I have to say I find that likelihood very low. What would drive such a difference to be located just so?

Re: Black Hole Inhaling Space?

I have read that the energy density of the universe remains constant,even though it is expanding.

A logical conclusion is that energy is being added to the universe to achieve this.

The matter in the universe is becoming less dense,less organized.

Matter is not being added.

The added energy is the source of the expansion;Dark Energy is the name for this energy that propels expansion.

Since matter and energy are manifestations of the same thing,matter being the concentrated,"solid" form(Although matter itself is not really solid,it is simply an interaction between forces on an atomic level).

Therefor I conclude that some matter is being converted into energy,possibly in black holes,and exits the black holes in a far distant unobservable(to us) part of our universe.

Our universe has a theoretical boundary,the shape of which is widely debated.

A rotating black hole shares some of the characteristics of a charged black hole,in the fact that they both have two event horizons.

The implications for other dimensions ,beyond our own, are many.

I recommend reading "Black Holes And Warped Spacetime" byWilliam J Kaufman,III.

This book is over 30 years old,and much has been learned and many new theories have emerged,but some of the core knowledge here has not changed.

By the way,truth is not a compromise--it is a relative point of view.

A very provocative, conjectural and ''illuminating'' discussion.

Black holes are unique threshold features of time-space-matter-energy-gravity. For now, they are the only plausible ''worm-hole'' around, at the most alien extreme of all that we know from the detection and measurement tools available to us.

But being threshold time-space-matter-energy-gravity ''items'' can mean that once the threshold has been crossed (the capture of light) there may be unimaginable extremes of ''item'' features far beyond the threshold conditions, such extremes concluding with conditions that presume a Big Bang cycle of ''Universe'' formation.

But we still must for all time cope with the most profound of mathematical conundra - the connection of all real numbers with infinity - in the context of all Big Bang, etc. hypotheses. Meanwhile, we continue to flog the horse.

Certain things I wish I knew more about,others less was better.

When I was a child,I thought the rainbow held a pot of gold at he end,and I marveled at every one I saw.

As I grew older and "wiser" and learned the true nature of the rainbow,the magic was lost.It was simply a bunch of prisms ,splitting light into it's basic colors.

I would never look at a rainbow in the same way again.

Knowledge and wisdom are not the same.

But there is still much "magic" and mystery in the universe,and our thirst for knowledge will lead us to the answers to some of them,but we will never have all of the answers.

As someone once said:"If our brain was simple enough for us to understand it,we would be too simple to understand it."

I think it is the same with the universe.

If our species survives a billion years,we will still be asking"Why?"

For this, I pity you.

When I was growing up, I never let the acquisition of knowledge diminish the beauty and wonder of the natural world. I know the science behind rainbows, but knowing that does not make them any less beautiful; in my mind it ENHANCES their beauty, for I know that what I see is part of a complete circle, were I elevated enough to view it, a circle as perfect as can be made in this universe, and the progression of colors are so harmonious, it it like an orchestral symphony for the eyes.

As a wise man once said, "When you're born, you're given a tiny spark of madness, and you mustn't ever lose it." The more we learn about the universe, the more we find that we know so little; and that's the most wondrous thing of all, there will ALWAYS be something new to discover, there is literally no limit to where human curiosity can take us.

All the more is my pity for you,who has never experienced the magic of childhood,where the entire world was wondrous and magical.

I would hold a marble close to my eye,and peer into another entire universe,full of planets,stars and galaxies,and wonder if our universe existed within some other kid's marble.

I still marvel at our universe,and everything in it,and I want to know how everything works.

My curiosity is not abated by knowledge,it simply whets my appetite for more.

Knowing the spectrum of light does not totally describe a rainbow,for we do not really know everything about photons,especially on a quantum level.

Knowing the nature of a rainbow does make them less beautiful to me,simply less magical.

If you do not know the difference,it is you who deserve my pity.

I think there was some confusion, starting on my end (did someone slip me decaf that day?), that led to this debate.

However, we are both arguing the same side, that knowledge does not diminish wonder.

I am sorry for any problems my confusion has caused, jet us sit as friends and marvel at rainbows together.
