An elusive creature roams freely, navigating the vast expanse of intergalactic space with astonishing speed. Its velocity is so immense that if it were present within our solar system, it could traverse the distance from Earth to the Moon in a mere 14 minutes. This extraordinary entity takes the form of a supermassive black hole, boasting a weight equivalent to that of 20 million Suns. In its wake, it has left an awe-inspiring trail, a celestial spectacle never witnessed before-a 200,000-light-year-long "contrail" adorned with newly born stars. This cosmic trail spans twice the diameter of our own Milky Way galaxy. Remarkably, this stunning phenomenon is believed to have arisen from an exceptionally rare and peculiar cosmic encounter involving three colossal black holes, akin to a game of galactic billiards.
Pieter van Dokkum of Yale University joins john michael godier on event horizon to discuss the runaway black hole candidate.

I have seen Aton do a video on that second paper. Both papers have arguments in favor of them so more research and proof is needed. I do agree that Anton made it sound like the thin galaxy theory was more likely, but peer review of both papers and additional research will show who is right.

@txrwauy Год назад

I saw the "thin galaxy theory" on Anton Petrov's channel. It goes to show how hard it is to interpret images of objects so far away. It's why I love astronomy so much - there is always something new to discover. I enjoyed this episode as the opposing view was well argued. The passion that Pieter has for dragonflys was also notable. Time will tell who got the correct interpretation.

@jedimasterted4712 Год назад

Crazy story on topic.I had a girlfriend once that loved dragonflys and said she was a dragonfly whisperer. We were taking a walk by the water on the colorado river north of Austin and there were several of them hovering around doing what they do. So as im rolling my eyes and thinking like Wtf is a dragonfly whisperer, she started walking up to this huge dragonfly that had landed a few meters away. Not creeping mind you, just kind of casually strode over to it with her hand out, not to try and catch it as I assumed she was gonna try to do, rather she just casually put her hand right next to it, which was amazing right there because I'd never been able to get even that close to a dragonfly, and it just kind of stepped onto her hand and just perched there. She actually petted it, on its little head with her other hand, or finger, and just walked over to me like nothing. I was standing there slack jawed and in awe. She just kind of hung out with it for a minute and petted it then raised her hand and let it go. I was impressed, amazed, and kind of scared it was neat. I never questioned her claim of being a dragonfly whisperer for even a moment thereafter.

@Dragrath1 Год назад

In the context of rouge supermassive black holes I remember reading about a surprising result when looking at the velocity distributions of stars in the small dwarf satellite galaxies of the local group and finding one specifically the one known as Leo 1 which requires a best fit of a concentrated central mass of ~3 million solar masses a significant fraction of the presumed dwarf spheroidal galaxy's mass measured to be ~20 million solar masses i.e. 15% total mass. Not sure what if any follow up was done on that so even if this example was just a needle edge galaxy this would give another example to study.

@prusak26 Год назад

These telescopes are brilliant. How well do they have to be alligned, both in term of pointing in the same direction, and one being slightly further forward than the others (or can this be done with software?)

@211212112 Год назад

Could have a fairly stable set of four black holes. IE: if the two sets of binaries have similar mass and orbit far enough from Barycenter so the frame dragging won’t effect much can result in four supermassive black holes in a quite stable config for longer than universe has been. Just imagine the energy of a fifth supermassive black hole already traveling fast due to previous ejection on a trajectory that gives it gravity assist from all three binaries.

@jackesioto Год назад

That senario you described is just about the only way four similar mass objects can realistically orbit each other. But it's certainly possible! We know this as we have seen a few double-binary star systems.

@@mal2ksc Funny thing is it'd have a lot less impact than one might intuitively think. Over the course of a couple million years it'd drive a line of jumbled stars and new star formation like an arrow through our galaxy, and then right out the other side. It'd be epic looking, as long as you're not in the path of it. 😅

@Dragrath1 Год назад

@@mal2ksc While not quite that extreme kinematic studies attempting to constrain dark matter percentages of satellite galaxies of the local group discovered that one dwarf spheroidal galaxy Leo 1 has such extreme stellar velocity distributions that require a compact central gravitational source to explain of roughly 3 million solar masses which is a whopping 15% of the total dwarf spheroidal galaxy's stellar mass. That isn't heading for us in the sense of the solar system thankfully but it is in orbit of the Milky Way. In this case it looks most likely to be more of a stripped galaxy core from one of the Milky Way's past meals (as it appears to possibly have an associated stellar stream) but it's in the mass range of a SMBH comparable to Sagittarius A*. I don't think its realistically feasible in any scenario to accelerate a monster black hole like M87* to that kind of velocity though the only thing which can even feasibly move such a giant is a more massive black hole and the biggest known are only an order of magnitude more massive.

@dancingwiththedogsdj 8 месяцев назад

Is there a possibility that we are miscalculating the mass of black holes due to the warping of time near / at the black hole where there is might be more matter within the event horizon despite our current measurements and maybe they have actually accumulated more material than we are able to calculate because the black hole itself may also include material from a future we haven't yet gotten to? Or something like that? It really seems like we are getting close to understanding many more things in the universe, but maybe overlooking a rather simple connection we just haven't made yet, like a relatively simple correlation. Love these videos!!

@211212112 Год назад

I wonder how relativistic speeds affects a singularity. A black hole and a baseball are quite different. Take time for instant. Time already slows till almost stopped inside event horizon. Also as one approaches c time slows drastically. So time stops in black home multiples by time almost stopped at 99% c. I know the black holes aren’t going that fast, but it is a valid question.

a question can the process that led to the formation of stars, also lead to formation of rogue planets in its wake, or create a large number of planets bound to it?

@abrahamroloff8671 Год назад

Rogue planets being formed, absolutely. Collecting stars/planets as it goes, seems unlikely. The momentum of the gas relative to such a black hole would make that hard to overcome.

@abeershukla3756 Год назад

@@abrahamroloff8671 i may be mistaken, but i believe that the interviewee did mention that these black holes can leave the galaxy with some of the stars. i do not understand the mechanism, of course. i am interested to know, that if it can have bonded planets, then could the black hole affect CMB radiation in a way, to create a large band of hospitability, provided that it is in deep space, and no other stuff would fall into the accretion disk, potentially sterilizing these planets. on the other hand, if it does form rogue planets but leaves them behind, then that can have interesting implications for the population of rogue planets in the milky way. perhaps passing stars would eventually slow down such planets, and eventually even capture them. perhaps the sheer spaces involved make such interactions highly unlikely, but i am curious if this finding increases the chances of ua finding an unexpected population of rogue planets in the oort cloud. so yeah, sorry for the long reply, but these are my two primary curiosities: 1) can a blackhole blueshift CMB to a degree that it could create a large band of hospitability in deep inter galactic space, if planets do form. it would be interesting if large gas giants or brown dwarfa with dozens or even hundreds of europa sized moon. there could be thousands of planets in thia band. 2) if the planets formed dont bond with the blackhole, then does it mean the population of rogue planets is much higher, and we should be more serious about finding rogue planets in the oort cloud.

@abrahamroloff8671 Год назад

It'd leave the core of the galaxy with some bonded stars, they picked up speed with it originally, but picking up new ones on the way out is a whole other kettle. As to the Oort, I have no idea. Stars/planets created this way would take a very long time to fall back into the bulk of the galaxy, if ever.
