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.

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.

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)

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.

Oooo I like this analogy since you could apply it to all mass actually. Most mass would have an impossibly small amount of push back against that expansion thus no visible expansion, but a SMBH would have a significant amount since it represents an impossibly huge cumulative pressure on the surface of the balloon by a fixed volume.

Thank you for this beautiful summary of the background. I find some analogy between this idea of equating DE to SMBHs, and OTOH a quip I came up with a dozen years back, in the form of the bold assertion that _Dark energy is ambient pollution from alien warp drives!_ -- with diverse motivations ranging from the humorous take on Fermi's Paradox; through an objection made to a subliminal perception (likely to be widely shared) that the focus on uncovering some Earth 2.0 that's expected of exoplanet research, was premised on a secret project to escape by relocating there (rather than address) a self-inflicted destiny of runaway greenhouse effect attributable in good part to vehicular emissions; to a more direct if vague analogy between _accelerating_ expansion and _runaway_ greenhouse effect; and, finally; to alluding to the idea that _the negative gravity (and negative self-gravity!?!) of the massive amounts of negative mass-energy postulated to enable FTL Alcubierre drives, leads to expect that in case of a leak or loss of confinement, the negative mass-energy would in fact race to mimic the uniform distribution and influence currently attributed to dark energy._
@borisborcic Рік тому
I'd concede however that the satire directed by this quip at the expectation of our relocation to some Earth 2.0, is at risk from Poe's Law. A picture emerges of a Universe polluted by the failures multiplied over eons, of desperate attempts of planetary civilizations to save themselves using unstable approximations to an Alcubierre drive...

@wreck-loose Рік тому
I've thought of a similar situation. If our Universe is indeed 'inside' a Black Hole in a parent universe, the rate at which that Black Hole consumes matter determines the strength of Dark Energy and the rate of expansion of our Universe. A Black Hole that is consuming almost nothing would mean that the universe inside it would have a very slow expansion, while one that is feasting on a star would have a much faster expansion. I guess I'm implying that the Hubble 'Constant' is not constant, but depends on the amount of matter falling into our 'parent' Black Hole.
@narfwhals7843 Рік тому
The hubble constant is already not constant. It's really the "hubble parameter". It is only constant across space(as far as we can tell), not time because the expansion rate changes with density.
@drxyd Рік тому
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.
@youtubesucks1885 Рік тому
On the largest scale matter as well as black holes should be equally distributed.
@jssomewhere6740 Рік тому
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.
@empireempire3545 Рік тому
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.

@hankscorpio42069 Рік тому
@@empireempire3545 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.

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?
@NullHand Рік тому
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.

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.

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.

@@dannydewario1550 if there is more distance to an object, then there more area being stretched by black holes between here and there.

I understood that paper's conclusions a little differently than how you set it forth in the video. As space-time expanded the black holes wound up with more space-time in them, space-time has an inherent vacuum energy, and because of the law of the conversation of energy requires the added energy inside the black holes to be balanced, it affects space-time outside of the black hole causing the acceleration of the universe around it. In other words, there is no separate stuff comprising dark energy it's just the vacuum energy of space-time combined with how that space-time expansion is interacting with black holes that causes the phenomena we observe that we attribute to dark energy.

I've got some vague ideas on this. First, it's very biased to think of gravity as the attraction of matter to itself, it could instead be a repulsion between matter and empty space. This actually makes more sense when you use the 2D visualization of gravitational bodies being attracted on a sheet of fabric, or the surface tension of water pushing objects suspended by the tension together. Further, there is a bias to assume that the universe is expanding. It assumes that time and velocity are constant, but distance isn't. A decay in light's energy over universal scales of time, a change in light's velocity over the life of the universe, an increase in the rate at which matter interacts locally(our experience of time), or the universe shrinking locally, would all give us the same observations. Instead of considering possibilities, we've become burdened with the idea that space must be expanding, but any measurement or "constant" of the universe could have changed. For all we know, the light we see of distant galaxies is traveling at the exact same frequency it was emitted at. 🤔
@SpecialEDy Рік тому
If empty space repels matter, clumping it all into gravitational bodies, then universal expansion becomes logical and intuitive. The universe is also cooling as time progresses, part of this could be attributed to the fusion of matter, the gravitational accumulation of matter, and the conversion of matter into light which is discarded into eternal voids. These are observable or logical changes we can see occurring throughout the visible history of the universe, and I'm inclined to believe that these obvious and observable events may be a root cause of what we think is universal expansion. We are condensing and cooling at a small scale, how does that effect our observations of distant and ancient objects which haven't experienced the same level of progression at the time we are seeing them?

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!

Yes this scenario is considered in loop quantum gravity. "Loosely speaking, the full phenomenon is analogous to the bouncing of a ball. A ball falls to the ground, bounces, and then moves up. The upward motion after the bounce is the time-reversed version of the falling ball. Similarly, a black hole “bounces” and emerges as its time-reversed version-a white hole. Collapsing matter does not disappear at the center: it bounces up through the white hole. Energy and information that fell into the black hole emerge from the white hole. The configuration where the compression is maximal, which separates the black hole from the white hole, is called a “Planck star.” Because of the huge time distortion allowed by relativity, the time for the process to happen can be short (microseconds) when measured from inside the hole but long (billions of years) when measured from the outside. Black holes might be bouncing stars seen in extreme slow motion"

If true it might be, but it's most certainly false. Dark energy can be thought of as a term being added to the stress-energy tensor such that there's a distribution of negative energy particles. In order for black holes to produce this dark energy effect on the universe, they'd probably have to become repulsive. Somewhat related though, there's a theory that entangled particles are connected via wormholes. These wormholes would also require a negative energy density to be stabilized. Maybe the wormholes contain dark energy? Maybe entangled particles flying apart might have an effect on the quantity of dark energy? The experiment you're referring to required negative energy densities after all.

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.

At that point they'd begin to slowly evaporate into Hawking Radiation stopping the release/creation of dark energy and this would result in the expansion of the universe stopping and reverse, beginning the "big crunch".

I'm a chemist, not a physicist, so maybe I missed some fundamentals behind that idea.

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. 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. 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.

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.

Dear brothers and sisters, I have published a series of papers (totally 9 nos.) on "Theory of Singularity" [Volume 10; issue 03,04; 2023] - arcjournals - International journal of advanced research in physical science - Open access for free download. 1) New representation of Gravitation 2) Structure of black holes 3) Finite structure of space-time. 4) Real dimensions of space-time 5) Singularity 6) Source of dark energy...etc "Fundamental theory of Singularity" - The new proposed study that serves one fundamental for general relativity and quantum mechanics by solving the incompatibility between them...thank you

That video intro is how I felt about ER=EPR for a long time; it took a while for me to realize it was a respected conjecture instead of “here are two things we donʼt understand about things being connected at a distance; letʼs try to shove them together”.

Interesting ideea. But i wonder of the next possibility: What if dark energy is actually done by virtual particles? After all, virtual particles is matter that comes to existance and disappears, so what if when it comes to existance, it comes with it's own piece of space, the size of the virtual particle. Something like a "virtual space". Yet when the virtual particle disappears, the "virtual space" that it created doesn't also disappears. Virtual particles are in a constant based on the absence of normal matter which would make virtual particles to apear more frequent in between the Galaxyes for example. And since the virtual particles are everywhere and constant, it could be possible to be an explanation for the constantly growing of the universe caused by what we call dark energy. Sure it's just an ideea and maybe i misunderstood the virtual particles but if not,is worth thinking as a possibility

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.

@@jusore but you know that virtual particles are defined by their state of existing for short times. Like they apear and dispaear at high frequency and speed. So I'm confused on how black holes can transform matter into virtual quarks, like do they make the energy composure we call matter back to space or what?
@Davidutul Рік тому
@@jusore it is interesting but just a bit confused there
@jusore Рік тому
@@Davidutul Continuing with the exercise of imagination... when the virtual particles are annihilated, they will be decomposed into their constituent elements, simpler than the virtual particles, in which case I imagine that what makes up a particle like the quark, while it is a quark, has enough energy as to be considered matter, while if a quark could be subdivided into constituent particles (or a lower energy subparticle) that make up the quantum foam, it would make sense to say that these constituent particles would be the ones that give rise to virtual particles. The black hole would contribute to the generation of spacetime foam, disintegrating quarks, bosons and leptons into their constituent subparticle/s.
@Davidutul Рік тому
@@jusore so basically those virtual particles would break into the smallest possible type of particles possible, like plank size level?

My thoughts. Imagine space time mapped out on the surface of a balloon . If you press on it, it creates a dimple towards the centre and mass on the surface of the balloon is attracted to the bottom of the dimple by gravity. Create a dimple deep enough and the mass that falls on will be traveling fast enough that when it reaches the bottom it's able to punch through the surface to the inside of the balloon, adding to the pressure inside the balloon causing it to push out and expand the surface to accommodate the extra volume within this causing the expansion of the universe...

It’s a neat idea. The issue is that the analogy breaks down surprisingly quickly. We can pretend that the geometric scale of the universe is synonymous with an actual balloon in a 1-1 way, and that there is something synonymous to highly pressurized air guiding the expansion, and that such an event would not be perfectly synonymous with a balloon or else the universe would pop, but there’s so many other mathematical and physics problems that causes that it’s almost impossible to make such a comparison useful. It’d be neat and logical to our brains if the universe worked like that- but the universe is rarely that simple!

This would require a 4th spatial dimension at 90 degree angles of the known 3 dimensions, making time the 5th. There is more evidence against that being true than for it. But who knows, maybe that's the way vacuum energy gets around and remains homogenous. It certainly makes sense when assuming the other parts as being correct. On that note, the interior of a black hole could be translating matter from our 3 dimensions through the 4th which will make matter disappear eventually in our 3 as the distance grows larger (in the 4th)

I listened to Dr Becky and she misses some basic concepts. I'll pass on that. I'm very glad you covered this. Sometimes the fringe is correct and deserve their day in court.
@EnglishMike Рік тому
Fringe ideas are published by mainstream scientists all the time, they just don't typically get much publicity. But it's important to distinguish between fringe ideas backed up by doing science, as in this case, and the type of nonsense you see people claiming in UKposts comment threads, like the Electric Universe, which isn't backed up by science at all.

@@EnglishMike Preaching to the choir. I have a personal issue with the way I learn physics. It's via visualization not math directly. I can grasp concepts easily, but don't have the math to back my ideas up. I've been trying to communicate but without the PHD and proper channels open I am hopelessly lost. Any recommendations are welcome. Find a technical cosmological physicist and waste their time essentially. I've been learning for decades. I have a small chance were I might be able to make a difference.
