We tend to imagine there are connectings between things that we don’t understand. Quantum mechanics and consciousness, aliens and pyramids, black holes and dark matter, dark matter and dark energy, dark energy and black holes. Usually there’s no real relationship whatsoever, but this last pair-black holes and dark energy being the same thing-has received some recent hype in the press. Let’s see if it might actually be true.

Hey could anyone help me with something. The geometry around a blackhole just simply would not allow for this correct? The very space around a black hole falls INWARD toward the singularity. To get expansion the solution for that is a whitehole. Isn't it?

It didn't strike me as criticism, but rather, a healthy degree of cautious scepticism. The grander the claim(s), the more it behoves the reader to remain cynical.

Currently the places to hope for a real space craft engine capable of taking us into the cosmos are in a few places as I understand it. There is little to no hope in negative energy being a thing. What does a graviton look like is definitely going to answer some questions. Are there fundamental forces we haven't discovered yet is lastly also super important. Fact of the matter is, light speed is not fast enough. We need to understand energy better. I suppose we will eventually start blowing up anti-matter bombs to observe conditions no longer existent in our current state of the galaxy and unlikely to occur again. Maybe some answers will be observable we haven't considered in such high energy events we can collect every possible information off of.

Since "dark energy" is merely a placeholder, it - of course - remains to be seen. But I think there are too many "known unknowns" (to say nothing of "unknown unknowns") to dismiss this out of hand. As always in science, more testing and exploration and creation of detection techniques are required. Science is the process of generating *questions* . The occasional _answer_ popping out is an anomaly; not the goal.

I love this jab at quantum consciousness. It feels fitting for the topic. I have a hard time making sense of it and it was explained to me in detail for a class I’m taking for my degree.

Louis Anthes 2 meses atrás

Gliner's theory helps me to imagine why some black holes are larger than others, because if the singularity is theoretically infinitely dense, I find it hard to speculate why the diameter of any event horizon would vary in size from others.

Likj Tyre Mês atrás

This fact didn't pop in my brain as I study a lot about black holes.I think I have ans for that question So I will compare your fact with infinity, think you added 1 to infinity the ans is infinity but this Infinity is +1times grater than infinity. So the same thing goes to black holes even there are having infinity dense singularity the size of event horizon can differ. The size of event horizon normally doesn't affect singularity. I hope this might help you.

icarus313 24 dias atrás

The event horizon boundary exists at the radius where the escape velocity around the singularity matches that of the speed of light. As I understand it, however big or small the singularity is, the diameter of the black sphere we see in space will depend solely on the mass. More mass = larger orbital radius where escape velocity is c.

Valentin Berman 2 meses atrás

If dark matter is made of stuff, suppose it is an undiscovered particle for instance, is it possible for a black hole to absorb it into the event horizon? Would that change the mass of the black hole? Would it grow? Could this effect explain the very large rate at which supermassive black holes expand?

Richard Classey 2 meses atrás

The only thing we know about dark matter is that it interacts gravitationally. Anything that does so becomes part of the black hole once it crosses the event horizon, and adds its mass/energy to it. There has been an argument that since dark matter doesn’t seem to participate in electromagnetism, it would have a hard time accreting efficiently, since unlike ordinary matter, it cannot loose velocity and any orbital angular momentum by blazing it away quasar like in an accretion disk.

Valentin Berman 2 meses atrás

@Richard Classey yeah, that makes sense. I wonder if it would be possible to measure how much dark matter falls into a black hole and if that could tell us something about it. That seems a little out there though.

Robert Farrell 2 meses atrás

I always look forward to the PBS Space Time video when a hot topic pops up in cosmology. I appreciate that the skepticism is expressed respectfully on this channel. And there should certainly be skepticism on these claims, but it is better to consider the possibility that the authors could be on to something rather than arrogantly dismiss them with a wave of the hand. This channel gets it right. Thanks for the continuing effort to help explain the topics to someone like me. I am a highly interested layperson, and the vast majority of other channels are either too basic for me, or far beyond anything I could understand without actually being a researcher in the field.

Bipolar Mind Droppings 2 meses atrás

This is the first "dark energy is just..." theory that actually makes some sense. It's probably wrong, but it's not obviously wrong, that's always a good start in science. Einstein and his greatest blunder is a fascinating story, all the more so when it turned out he was so damn smart that he actually got it right, for the wrong reason.

Angelo 2 meses atrás

The explanation of hawking radiation (2 virtual particles on either side of the event horizon are forever separated) may be part of the key to understanding the difference in the observed size of black holes vs their theoretical size due to accumulation of matter.

Jake Leverick 2 meses atrás

It's always made the most sense to me thinking of black holes as tears in spacetime. The infinite mass and therefore gravity make a ton of sense in that scenario. That means they would be connected somewhere else. Possibly even not somewhere in our universe or maybe even dimension

djayjp 2 meses atrás

QUESTION: does that mean the energy of the vacuum is actually a false vacuum since that experiment that showed you can teleport energy using entanglement led to a lower energy value from the origin as a result of the transfer?

Mandahl 2 meses atrás

Could black holes manifest as dark energy by pulling spacetime inwards? Pulling spacetime inwards towards centers of mass could have a similar effect (or similar appearance) to spreading the voids outward... stretching spacetime out in the center, rather than the empty/void space having negative density. Love the channel!

Tom Marti 2 meses atrás

Just wrote this comment myself!

Danny DeWario 2 meses atrás

That's a neat idea for sure. But to me (a complete layperson on this stuff) that sounds like the empty space between galaxies is homogenous and unchanging, which would imply the amount of redshift of light from far away galaxies shouldn't be dependent on the distance it travels across space. In other words, galaxies far away from us (and of similar size) would have roughly equal redshifting no matter the distance - because only the space close to galaxies would cause redshifting. And as for larger galaxies with stronger black holes (which results in stronger pulling of spacetime), we would expect to see more redshifting for those larger galaxies. But again, I'm not an expert by a long shot and might be missing something.

Tom Marti 2 meses atrás

@Danny DeWario if there is more distance to an object, then there more area being stretched by black holes between here and there. If every black hole is pulling space in (causing the light traveling through it to stretch) and there are more black holes stretching space between a more distant object than a nearer object, the redshift would correlate with distance.

I often envision black holes tugging at the fabric of spacetime and spacetime like auxetic quantum foam. Look up a video titled "Auxetic Foam Research at HPMI" to see what an auxetic foam sample looks like. If the connection of black holes with dark energy is verified, the warp drive would have to be revised. Dark energy is said to be basically antigravity. It's something important for interstellar travel in reasonable time.

Andrew Sapuppo 2 meses atrás

If their claim, black hole growth is coupled with the expansion of the universe is true, then could they potentially figure out a way to calculate the vacuum energy density using this idea helping prove their theory? For example, by using Hawking’s equation for black hole entropy they could try to relate the vacuum energy density (VED) to a black holes surface area in the formula then rearrange the formula to come up with a new prediction of VED and see if this matches observed values.

I've been binging on this and other channels to help me digest information about physics at which I'd otherwise shrug my shoulders. I sometimes find it easier to comprehend things when I don't get lost in the minutiae, and this sort of content helps me with that (I think). I still struggle with dark energy. My brain keeps telling me that black holes contain separate universes. We know mass and energy from our universe can pass the event horizon and theorize it becomes incorporated into the singularity. If there lies the possibility that our universe is nested within another, where our universe exists within a black hole in a parent universe, is it not possible that dark energy is fed into our universe as our parent universe feeds it matter and energy? Is it not possible that dark energy is the parent universe's matter and energy that fell across the event horizon following the instant our universe was created? Perhaps the mass and energy from our parent universe is not wholly compatible with our own universe, but continues to fall through and be present, regardless, contributing to our growing universe? Or perhaps that the information stripped from mass and energy falling into the black hole that cannot bear our universe's physical laws is damned to an existence at the threshold of the event horizon to be rejected back into the parent universe as Hawking Radiation or something along those lines? Would the feeding of mass and energy across the event horizon not lead to one or two inevitabilities: the universe that is being fed would have to expand in space and/or grow in density? But I'm also struggling to comprehend merging black holes if they, indeed, do contain separate universes within? If the universe within one black hole has different physical laws than another black hole with which it collides and merges, would the resulting merger produce a unified universe from the mix of the two physical environments or would the universes merge in such a way that the physical laws for each incorporated universe allow them to both simultaneously exist within the same space, only interacting through compatible physical laws? I'm in way over my head, but this stuff is so fascinating!

The unreliability of intuition is why we developed the scientific method. 😄 Just imagine the mess we'd have made of quantum physics without science, given its profound counterintuitiveness.

Matt links to a video by Dr. Becky, you should really check it out! If you like it, she also has good explanations on dark energy, etc in other videos. Re: multiverses, etc. Remember these are mathematical constructs created by following mathematical theory. A "universe" is a set of numerical values on one side of an = sign. Multiverse theory is the logical conclusion of following the math that was used to define that "universe". So most of your yes/no questions are answered "depends" - they depend upon the values used to formulate the original mathematical universe.

I often envision black holes tugging at the fabric of spacetime and spacetime like auxetic quantum foam, and black holes as factories of spacetime, turning matter into virtual quarks, because stars are said to fuse simple to more complex atoms, and denser stars are made of simpler elements, like neutron stars, it makes some sense to me that black holes make quarks stop being particles and go to be virtual particles. And gravitational waves, and matter that is converted into gravitational energy, contributing to the expansion of the universe. Look up a video titled "Auxetic Foam Research at HPMI" to see what an auxetic foam sample looks like.

I had the same response. The idea that old galaxies should have smaller black holes seems weird. Assume a galaxy that does not accrete more mass. Over time it’s black hole should increase in size. Which would make “black holes grow faster than their galaxies”

Elliott 2 meses atrás

Or just testing for correlation? It doesn't really say anything else as the space of explanations for that correlation (and all scientific explanations/theories-other-than-equations) is infinite, and we generally just use Occam's razor with no deductive logical basis to use it, sometimes more complicated explanations are the correct ones (though in the case of simplified models, it's more precise to formulate Occam's razor in terms of number of assumptions, and simplifying assumptions are assumptions)

Pete DeVriese 2 meses atrás

If ER=EPR, could that provide a mechanism for cosmological coupling to work and provide a solution to the even distribution? As in, all supermassive black holes are connected to each other via wormholes, which provides a way of ‘sharing information’ on large scales and smoothing out the distribution.

Absolutely. The distance between black holes is increasing from momentum, and being the strongest gravitational masses in the universe, by far, they pull everything along with them in their expansion. Next, you might find that the expansion of space between black holes might be faster than the expansion of the surrounding universe, because they don't pull everything in at the same rate as they are moving away.

Chad Bailey 2 meses atrás

I have speculated for years that dark energy is just another perception of black holes consuming space itself. If all black holes consume space, they cause a stretching of the spacetime between them and would be responsible for the primary red shift of measured galactic movements.

Richard Parker 2 meses atrás

If you consider the 'rubber sheet' analogy, then it would make sense that if you have points on that sheet that are pulling in the sheet, then the points would increase in mass due to the 'sheet' they absorb and that the 'sheet' in-between would become stretched and give the impression of expansion. Over time, as the points increase in mass, they pull in more sheet, giving the impression that the expansion is happening faster. To someone living on the sheet, the difference between expansion and sheet removal would be very difficult to distinguish. And of course, if the sheet is being pulled in at a constant rate, it would also explain the rotational velocity discrepancy in galaxies, thus explaining dark matter.

Interesting and creative analogy! But, the black holes are not the only ones that are consuming the fabric of space-time, so to speak, also ordinalry mass object, like planets, stars, etc., are doing the same thing, just that the intensity or "speed" is order of magnitude lesser that of the black hole objects.

I always thought a universe was inside of black holes. Dark matter was gravity pull of massive space objects around the black holes. Also, the expansion and the void energy are the absorbing of mas into black holes. But I'm just someone who enjoys learning such a thing, so their probably lot stuff I don't know that make this wrong. However, it would make a good story.

We often see black holes depicted in 2D models as the singularity pulling down spacetime. Are there any good videos that discuss how black holes actually look in 3D? Like is the BH actually flat and the horizon could be on plane with our POV / seen at different angles? Or would it look more like an orb? Like if a BH is facing us where we are observing directly above the event horizon in the 2D model, how far does the singularity go down? Wouldn't it run into other things near it?

You can see the black hole in 3D in the movie Interstellar. There is a gif of how spacetime curves towards the inside of an object's center of gravity. You can imagine gravity as the concave curvature of a contracting vortex and dark energy as the convex curvature between galaxies.

The question I have is whether the investigators are assuming that the exact same force that is pushing outward on black holes is also tunneling out to the space between galaxies to push them apart. If so, then wouldn't the force be used up in pushing outward on the black hole such that it cannot also be used in the space between galaxies?

If two particles can become entangled by placing them very close to eachother, then is it possible that all of particles, under the immense gravity of a collapsing star, reconfigure into a wave function as seen in entanglement?

🌱 𝙅𝙪𝙨𝙤𝙧𝙚『ジュソレ』✊ Mês atrás

The entangled particles are said to in fact form a wormhole. The black hole would form a wormhole with a white hole from a big bang of the universe that it contained within.

Humphrey Kganakga 2 meses atrás

Wouldn't the rate of expansion then depend on the local density of black holes? Then some regions of the universe will expand faster/slower than others.

On the largest scale matter as well as black holes should be equally distributed.

Js Somewhere 2 meses atrás

That was my exact question. That changes the shape of the universe making the visible horizon different in every direction. Meaning no more Hubble constant.

Emp Empischön 2 meses atrás

Not necessarily. Depends on the underlying physical mechanism by which the black holes convert mass/energy into space. If it's something like water pouring into a bathtub, then well, the water level rises uniformly even though the source is localized. This analogy is stronger than one might think - fluid dynamics equations are suspiciously similar to GR, both of which treat the subject matter as a continuous medium - even though we KNOW that water is NOT continuous medium, it's made of particles. Or better yet, imagine a tiny stream of water falling onto a kitchen table, slowly growing a pool.

Js Somewhere 2 meses atrás

@Emp Empischön Fair enough I didn't read the paper so I'm a bit unqualified to even ask a question. Yet this is the second video on this subject I've seen in as many days. I would love to explain dark energy this way, but it just seems way too hiding in plain sight to explain such a confusing and complex subject. So I guess I'm looking for that steel toed boot to kick it in the head. Thanks for your explanation it does make sense considering what is expanding is all part of the same single fabric.

Hank 2 meses atrás

@Emp Empischön I know that this is all conjecture but I like to imagine that space is an emergent property of mass / energy and that as it expands, it has to push against the surrounding spacetime, causing it to compress, causing what we call gravity. This expanding space still has to go somewhere and that's we observe at larger scales, i.e. cosmic inflation. What makes black holes unique is that the space is expanding faster than light can travel across it and any light that enters is basically red-shifted into oblivion.

This sounds like a neat idea, that may, or may not be evidenced later. It doesn't sound likely to me given the need for most black holes to not be in galaxies. The only black hole I know about is in a galaxy.

Regarding the reformulation of the Friedman equations they presented to accomodate the non-local influence of black holes, I wondered whether it could indicate a way to link this whole thing (gravity and stuff) to quantum mechanics, which is indeed non-local

GR is also "non-local", the thing is, we're limited by not being "pure energy", just look at the frame of reference of a photon (basically everything everywhere with "no time nor space").

A good way to think of this would be circulation in the body, but not arteries and veins, but instead both of those opposite the lymphatic system that balances pressure imbalances from the former with the rest of the body indirectly via an almost hidden medium of vessels. Likewise, as Black Holes concentrate matter, they might well be exerting opposite outward force in all directions, or possibly converting matter into space itself.

🌱 𝙅𝙪𝙨𝙤𝙧𝙚『ジュソレ』✊ Mês atrás

I like this «converting matter into space itself», black holes as spacetime factories, because stars are said to fuse simple to more complex atoms, and denser stars are made of simpler elements, like neutron stars, it makes some sense to me that black holes make quarks stop being particles and go to be virtual particles, such as are said to sprout and annihilate from quantum foam. I often envision black holes tugging at the fabric of spacetime and spacetime like auxetic quantum foam. Look up a video titled "Auxetic Foam Research at HPMI" to see what an auxetic foam sample looks like. If the connection of black holes with dark energy is verified, the warp drive would have to be revised. Dark energy is said to be basically antigravity. It's something important for interstellar travel in reasonable time.

question for the smart people around here, would it be possible to gain data from inside a blackhole if we used entangled particles? like if we had a pair that we knew was entangled and sent 1 into a black hole could be we the other to gain data from other or do you think it would too act as if it was in a blackhole and appear to cease function?

A question: many supermassive black holes we have seen are way too large considering the time they formed, especially those within a few hundred million years after the formation of the universe. We know that dark matter is affected gravitationally - could it be that black holes consume dark matter, along with regular matter, and gain mass that way?

So how would a black hole, with such a powerful inward gravitational pull, also push space away/ expand it outward at the same time? If anyone knows what the explanation is, I would be interested to hear it. 🙂

I think the universe is actually contracting, but doing so in such a way that from our perspective it appears inverted, much like the time/space reversal beyond the event horizon of a black hole. Has this possible explanation for an accelerating expansion ever been "mathed out" ?

Lester Wayne Music 2 meses atrás

For me I think it’s fair to imagine the same amount we know about black holes equals roughly the same amount we know about dark energy. Great team to push new ideas. They must align with the old rules but new discoveries make new rules. For me it’s the elephant in the room that black holes are what keep our sun orbiting around the Milky Way, keeps the earth spinning and set to motion the weather even.

It's actually pretty simple what Dark Energy is if you approach from the Simulation Theory, Dark Energy is just the Code in the program, just think of it like a video game, can the characters/NPCs/avatars see the code in the programming? Or even if they could, would they be able to understand it?

Alex Trusk 2 meses atrás

Would it be mathematically equivalent if everything in the universe would shrink at some rate over time, proportional including the strength of the force field? And time dilation included, this would just not be as dramatic for black holes so that they seem bigger to us over time? I feel like this could make sense if we flip the idea 180° once or twice.

Yeah, she actually studies the black holes in galactic centers and their evolution and she pretty much ripped this paper apart. Essentially, the authors ignored a lot of research from the past 20 years where we now better understand how the black holes in galactic centers grow, not just thru absorbing gas and stars but also via black hole mergers as larger galaxies swallow smaller ones and their central black holes.

Kevin Steegmann 2 meses atrás

The idea that black holes are dark energy raised a question in my mind about dark matter: If it is five times more prevalent than ordinary matter and seams only to interact with gravity, are there very dense areas of dark matter i. e. dark matter "stars" or even "galaxies"? Obviously we can't observe them directly, but shouldn't they be visible via gravity lensing?

If I understand this, wouldn’t this suggest that the universe’s expansion would be variable based on the distribution of black holes? So unless supervoids were filled with black holes wouldn’t supervoids expand slower than the rest of the universe?
