Is Planet 9 a Black Hole? With Dr. Jakub Scholtz and Dr. James Unwin 

@walentaz halo drive 😉

I hope its a small black hole could that be the mystery of oumuamua sudden direction change and speeding up explained?

I like the primordial black hole idea but I'm bothered by the proposal to test it via rather hypothetical dark matter radiation events we so far know nothing about in terms experimental: Hawking radiation is only theoretical (and lacks a good unified theory behind to strongly support it), dark matter as WIMPS is also theoretical and in fact Hawking argued a few years ago for this type of black holes maybe being the actual dark matter, all the basis for this "test" are theoretical. On the other hand tracking the orbit of the microlensing events seems a much more direct and tested approach, as the sky is full of sources of light (stars, galaxies) to produce those events consistently with an orbiting mini black hole. Anyhow I just love the idea of a black hole the size of a fist... but the gravitational effect of 10 Earths.

@@lucasgibbs4879 that was weird no?

@@alteredbeast7145 yeah very strange they said outgassing could have caused it but who knows i always hope its aliens haha

A Drunk Weeb可愛い I hope it has nothing to do your username... ;-) good luck on your recovery

Thanks and get well soon! Best wishes, JMG.

This thread went downhill pretty quickly there..

🙏🙏🙏👍

Get well soon, I hope you heal nicely. I am glad that there is yet another addict to learning. You are right on the mark with respect to John he is very interesting and has amazing guests, to top it off his commentary voice is very soothing. Cheers from Canada.

I hope your not looking up earth like planets in the space because they're not real

Thank you Wyatt!

We see what you did there and want you to know you will like next week’s episode very much.

Jupiter hasnt cleared its orbit, the black hole has. My Very Eager Mother BlackHole Served Us Noodles...

There is no possible way it's a black hole. Black holes require a mass much bigger than our sun. The sun would be orbiting around it. It's simply very dark and very far away. Pluto has a brightly colored surface that reflects light. What if planet x has a darkly colored surface? It's so far from the sun it would be SOO dark.

@@Arigator2 The discussion in the video is about a primordial black hole with the mass of a planet, not a typical black hole.

Stop using big words to sound smart. You contradict yourself in above comment

Thanks Timothy!

Thank you! Glad you enjoy them!

@username89 I think your avatar is the s hit ! I can't stop looking at it.

Thank you! Next week is another fun one. Will be announcing it soon.

I th8nk once you surpass a certain level of intelligence and general being, things like popularity stop meaning anything.... 😃

Standing on the shoulders of giants. I prefer that... 😃

A planetary mass black hole of the type under discussion would be smaller than a grapefruit. However -- why would you even think a black hole out beyond the orbit of Neptune would pose any kind of threat? Why would you think we "wouldn't even be here?" Any such planetary mass object would be in orbit around the sun -- it's not like it would swoop down on the planets and gobble them up.

I believe it was influenced by the sun.

unfortunately we will never be able to leave our solar system :(

We won’t, but soon humans may be able too.

@@ratgrandmother8787 why would you wanna do that ? There is no point to it, you cant ever go back well you could but timedilation makes sure you dont see your loved ones or humanity again. Everything we ever need is our backyard so to speak, and still our backyard is soooo far away its mindboggling. But still the timedilation is the biggest problem after the distance.

Not sure that coming back will still be an issue in the futur sol system

@@ratgrandmother8787 no the Oort Cloud prevents it completely

Thank you!

it makes little scientific nor logical sense though. makes a lot of sense if you want publicity though.

@@goprojoe7449 Really? I'd love to hear why you think that.

I do that all the time; never (EVER) watch the Borg story arcs from Star Trek while sleeping. Ever.

@@ErynKnight Well now I'm intrigued to the point of being compelled to try it, and resisting the urge would be futile.

​@@SwitchModeMutations I am absolutely not responsible for any recurring nightmares. BUT if you must watch Star Trek, my favourite dream eps are: TNG: Night Terrors TNG: Schisms TNG: Phantasms Bonus Voyager: VGR: Waking Moments A Cuchi Moya!

Glad to hear I am not the only one this has occurred to. Only about three weeks ago, listening with head phones on and falling asleep, my dreams center directly on the content! It is usually science shows like Event Horizon. I have never been able to impact my dreams so this new thing fascinated me. I have kept it to myself until now.

Down at the VFW they call me "Firebeard" after a BBQ mishap. That should work as a pirate name.

Hawking did argue for that, at least as a not fully discarded possibilty, in a paper from this decade. It'd be less weird than WIMPs at least in some aspects but who knows? However, if that's true, how many mini black holes would be only in the Solar System, just an average for calculations, as the proportion of dark matter is supposed to be 5:1 relative to normal matter? Is the Oort Cloud full of black holes the size of a baseball?

That possibility has been thoroughly looked into and dismissed by the scientific community as a whole.

Yes. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OjXN-SmHvC0.html

The solar system passed through an interstellar alcohol cloud billions of years ago and they're still drunk.

Jakub pogubila . This is more proof of the multiverse. All possibilities exist. You didn’t even have to leave the planet to find your namesake, let alone travel to another bubble universe.

Mit Seraffej lol

It's the Polish spelling of Jacob

Swedish Slacker yup your right because im polish lol.

Eryn Knight. Right there in the opening credits.

I'm of no merit to answer that question, but yes that could be the case if coolness is a valid argument

Good notion, wouldn't such a local black hole be an absolute boon to science. Cheers from Canada.

It could be hypothesized to be the object that reversed the rotation of Venus and turned Uranus on its side.

Geoff Halsey And destroyed the planet between Mars & Jupiter the asteroid belt now with its moon Ceres.! Plus Mars seems to have had a catastrophic event! Earth 2 has had some extinctions, floods and also humans found some old written records of the sun staying still or a possible rotational slow down or change? We know nothing of what’s really out in space? It’s changing every day with new data on what’s really going on. ????? Not sure though, just made me think about it from your comment.

The idiocy of the standard scientist community.

Phillip Probst that's what i was thinking!

It would absorb the earth, earth would no longer exist. Even if it was the size of an orange......

@@richardwebb9532: Primordial black holes, if they exist, are mostly microscopic. Even a few centimeters away from a microscopic black hole, the gravity wouldn't be strong enough to overwhelm Earth's structural integrity. A microscopic black hole would just punch straight through the Earth, eating the atoms directly in its path and otherwise having no meaningful effect. The earth would maybe lose a few tons of mass and gain two new tiny volcanoes at the entry and exit points.
