Dont sweat the small stuff and lets have some fun this weekend.

A five-dimensional black hole could break the theory of relativity: Simulation suggests strange rings with 'ultragravity' that defy physics may exist

ps: any of you astrophysicists feel free to explain what this means

Excuse me, but if you post the thread, it is your fricking responsibility to do this.

Otherwise, you need to edit your title and subject...or delete the thread.

"negative ghost rider"

actually stating how small we are in the universe is kind of an explanation.

Actually more of a reminder of how little we know about the cosmos

It's analogous to how small we feel when we're inside your mom's black hole.

It's not about being small.

It's something entirely different.


You come in the thread and say look what I can post and article about astrophysics that means I am a science-minded person!


And then you say you guys feel free to say what the hell is going on.




You can't get both parts of the thread. You need to set it up one way and go with that.


Either you edit your OP, or you tell us what this means.



I'll help a little, because I actually want you to do well by the board:

My brain is still stuck on the theory of relativity.

Fine, frick.


What I gather is this:

Black holes are where matter is so dense, nothing escapes it, not even light. The inescapable draw of the black hole as it wants to add more matter to it is called the event horizon.

Since light and matter past the can't escape a black hole, it makes the inner parts of the black hole dark, and a mystery astrophysicists. So they hypothesize and speculate what is going on there. Laws of gravity and energy may break down inside black holes.


What this new idea says is if you have a black hole that's not a hole, but like a ring, you could see the inner workings of the event horizon and "black hole". Meaning if these could be seen and understood, they may change the fundamental ideas we have about the structure of the universe and possibly formation.


Fin.

I thought the 5th dimention represented time as linear so I have a problem with the ring theory that connects

And then for fun think about this:





If you cut a ring and look at the cut part in profile view, what is the shape you are staring at?

A circle.

So, then you have what one side of a black hole looks like. That's 3 dimensions down to 2 dimensions.

Well look at you!

3rd dimension is length, width, height

4th dimension is length, width, height and how it changes along a linear progression through time one frame at a time.

5th is that linear progression, but existing at all times through the entirety of the black hole's existence.


So that black hole is linked to itself through time in the 4th, and it undulates, but is still contained within itself due to the immense gravity, through time.


ETA: I think.

I always go to this video for dimensions

Two outcomes can both be true at the same time if you don't know the current state.


I think the observers paradox and light wave vs particle behavior is crazier!

This is from memory, so correct if necessary:

quote:

Black holes are where matter is so dense, nothing escapes it, not even light.


A black hole is an object whose gravity is so strong, nothing can escape it, not even light. This has to do with mass. Gravity is the effect that matter has on spacetime. Massive amounts of matter create the strong gravity. At a black hole, matter has collapsed into a singularity (a single point with zero volume) because the accumulation of matter has caused gravity to overcome the other forces. The density of the matter in a black hole is infinite even though it has a finite, if huge mass.

quote:

The inescapable draw of the black hole as it wants to add more matter to it is called the event horizon.


That inescapable draw is just gravity. Gravity is stronger as you get nearer the singularity. The event horizon is simply the point in distance where gravity has become so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. (But see Hawking Radiation)[/quote]

quote:

Since light and matter past the [event horizon] can't escape a black hole, it makes the inner parts of the black hole . . . a mystery astrophysicists. So they hypothesize and speculate what is going on there. Laws of gravity and energy may break down inside black holes.

A little physics humor for Friday morning.

Heisenberg was stopped by the police. The officer asked "Do you know how fast you were going?" Heisenberg replied, "No, but I know exactly where I am."
