    The spin limit works because a spinning black hole causes frame drag around it, resulting in, essentially, anything aimed to add spin in the same direction simply being flung out because the frame dragging speeds it up.

    • @WhyneedanAlias
      @WhyneedanAlias Před 10 měsíci +47

      Yes, and to add to that, you can still throw stuff inside, but you'd have to aim it against the direction of frame dragging or diractly above the poles. Later option does not add to angular momentum and the first option would actually decrease it so the black hole would just stop gathering angular momentum at some point (below that critical point where the horizon dissolves)
      At least that's how I understood it, I have not studied general relativity...yet

    • @WhyneedanAlias
      @WhyneedanAlias Před 10 měsíci +5

      Although what I am not quite sure about is why dropping particles with quantum spin or regular objects which rotate at the poles of the black hole doesn't work - The angular momentum of those objects should be added to the black hole's

    • @vettir
      @vettir Před 10 měsíci +8

      Theoretically possible, but in practice absurdly difficult. You'd have to first, isolate a bunch of fundamental particles, and second, ensure their spin stayed in a specific way. Your best bet would be bosons, as fermions would rapidly cancel out their spins as they interacted. But even creating bosons with the correct spin is difficult at best. And even if you could do this, the angular momentum of the easiest Bosons to set with a specific spin (photons) is still going to be on the order of the planck spin per photon. And even then interactions with other things could alter their spin.
      As for why photons, I'd recommend reading the article by Isaac Asimov called "The Left Hand of the Electron", carried in his collection of articles by the same name. There are places you can find this for free, although the legality of those is questionable.

      The simplified formula for the kerr black hole event horizon
      As you can see, the spin rate for the black hole (a) needs to be equal or smaller than M
      If a is larger than M, you have an imaginary number in the finished equation, which makes the event horizon "unreal", thus you can see the singularity as there's no event horizon
      I wanna say that you should not use this simplified formula to calculate the event horizon itself
      The formula is only there to show the limit of a or the spin

    Fun fact, the idea that there cannot be naked singularities is actually called the cosmic censorship hypothesis.
    Also I find spinning black holes really interesting, at least if you follow general relativity (which we cannot be sure holds beneath the horizon) there should actually be an inner event horizon in addition to the regular one where sub-lightspeed travel becomes possible again and time and space flip back to their ordinary roles. You would be able to move around freely in there around the singularity but never be able to leave. With additional charge/rotation the inner one grows and the outer one shrinks until the'd meet and disappear.

    9:09 "How's the limit of spin work?" The search term you want is "Frame Dragging" When a massive object is spinning, it actually drags Space-Time in the vicinity with it, spinning the very fabric of reality. If the local space-time is twisted _enough,_ you might reach a point where there is no trajectory from the outside of the black hole to the inside. The phase space of possible trajectories has a hole in it.

  • @LamirLakantry
    @LamirLakantry Před 10 měsíci +34

    The reason why overfeeding spin is difficult, (in my laiman understanding) is because it makes the ergosphere stronger. That is the region of space around the black hole where space-time is being dragged around faster than light. Even in current black holes, the rotation stops objects from falling in, and it's only thought a friction prosess in the ecrecion disk that forces any matter past the horizon.

For example, I have a theory that a naked singularity might be the awnser for a lot of problems that we have in today's society, it could completely wipe out any current knowledge we have about physics. Maybe even breaking extremely important space-time laws, like spontaneus creation of matter, etc. According to the big bang theory, the universe started as a singularity. But the only thing preventing the singularities to interact with space-time is the black hole gravitational force itself, which is so extreme that even light itself can't escape. The big bang was a naked singularity, and we have a ton of them throughout the universe, but they can't interact with space-time, matter because of the black hole itself. So what happened with the big bang? How and why is the big bang singularity different than a black hole singularity, and why was it naked and why did it collapsed???!!!!
      I could only think about that because I have read a bunch of books about space, physics and Einstein's studies. Maybe that librarian just wiped out the possibility of a kid to get interested in physics and create a awesome theory that could change humanity forever. Einstein would never become Einstein if he didn't read his first physics book to get interested in the subject.

    I'll explain the "Spin limit"
    The formula for the event horizon of a spinning black hole is very long and complicated, however, if you simplify the formula
    (Let's say G = c = 1), and the observing angle is 90deg downwards, the event horizon of the Kerr black hole will look like this
    r = M + sqrt(M^2 - a^2)
    r = Event horizon radius
    M = black hole mass
    a = the spin of the black hole (J/M)
    As you can see, because (M^2 -a^2) is square rooted, a^2 needs to be smaller or equal to M^2, or a

    • @particlephysics_lee
      @particlephysics_lee Před 10 měsíci

      For example, let's say that a black hole with a mass of 1 and has a spin of 3
      The equation will look like this
      r = 1 + sqrt(1 - 3^2)
      r = 1 + (2√2)i
      The radius has an "unreal" number, so the event horizon is NOT real, thus you can see whatever the fuck is behind the horizon, and a naked singularity

    I wonder, if you have a high enough mass black hole, can you spin the singularity enough to create an empty orbit? a ring of infinite density, forming a sort of torus which probably can never have a hole for the force necessary to stabilize it.
    Also, I suspect there is a possibility that black holes could simply un-implode under such extreme forces, with the singularity's effects being undone a massive mess happens with spacetime, but it would then just release the mass as energy now that gravity can't hold it together.

      B. I think this type of black hole is a remnant of the 1st Black Hole Era of the universe. It’s a ‘cooling’ core that manifests in 3d reality as an exotic state of matter as it drops energy levels. I’m fairly sure this is dark matter, and

    just found the answer to a question I asked a couple of years back is what happens when a black hole finally evaporates via hawking radiation because at some point, it will have no more matter to consume to sustain itself - so there must be a point at which the singularity cannot be sustained.
    Based on what I have just read from an article 2 years ago, it seems in its final death throes, it will expend the last of itself in a huge flash of light and energy from a very tiny region of space.
    The other interesting theory I've read recently, is that our universe is actually a singularity of a universe outside of our own, so the reason we can never get outside of our universe is basically because the edge of our universe is actually the event horizon which as per the video can never be crossed in the other direction!

I know that if you spin a bucket of water fast enough, the water will stay in the bottom of the bucket, even when flipped upside down, so I could assume that logic could somewhat apply here.

    On the topic of green glows, I’ve noticed that in real life examples of radiation associated with nuclear energy and nuclear disasters which we can actually see, they tend to be blue. Thing likes ionizing radiation hitting air, certain isotopes of cesium which appear to produce blue ‘sparkles,’ and though not dangerous, Cherenkhov radiation. Meanwhile the green glow seems to come exclusively from certain fluorescent paints such as those used for the radium watches and uranium glass.
    Given that radiation is typically invisible, do you think it was better that green ended up representing radiation over blue or would it have been better were it the other way around, or should there have been some other visual representation to adopt that the public could use as a shorthand for radiation that would have been preferable to a blue or green glow?

    I think a nuke detonated near another nuke could cause it to reach super criticality.
    Even if the second nukes own detonation mechanism doesn't trigger, the shockwave of the exploding nuke could compress the other nukes core beyond criticality. Also the exploding nuke will represent a high luminosity neutron source, making sure the chain reaction starts in the other nuke quickly.
    Then the second nukes core might undergo regular chain reaction and explode with similar or even more inertial confinement time as a regular detonation might produce.

    the decay rate of black holes depends on their diameter - the frequency of the hawking radiation is the diameter of the black hole. This means that since photon energy is inversely proportional to its wavelength, the time for a black hole to decay increases with the mass. I'm unsure of the exact formular, however. PBS Spacetime has a video explaining it, but i don't know which one it is.

    I always thought the "throw antimatter at it" thing was solveable by throwing negatively _massed_ exotic matter at the black hole to reduce its summed mass. In fact, if black holes are "elementary particles", it would make sense to conside _white holes_ their antiparticles, rather than an "anti black hole of opposite charge". Although, since their mass is variable, you'd end up with either a smaller black hole or smaller white hole, depending on which was more (anti)massive... they wouldn't perfectly annihalate.

    So just an inquiry about your first comments on nukes. It's my understanding that thermonuclear bombs use a fission trigger and the bomb is designed to implode quickly to create a super pressured space with a hydrogen cell causing the fusion reaction, which yields much higher. Is it not possible that you'd get some extra yields from the trigger mechanisms if they blew up together or is there like no allowance at all within those systems? Would it blow up any atomic bombs still lying around (if there is any still)?

    • @manw3bttcks

      The compression has to be super symmetrical, the old FatMan A bomb from world war 2 was difficult to get to work correctly because the compressing explosives has to trigger at multiple detonators at exactly the same time. The shock wave needs to be spherically symmetric from the outside to the inside.
      Even a few tiny gas bubbles in the explosives would have disturbed the shock wave turning the bomb into a 'fizzle' (low grade explosion with poor yield). So like the engineer said, one A bomb next to another would just tear up the 2nd bomb and the 2nd bomb doesn't explode

      to be fair the natural way a black hole would be overfed (say, via an early universe Black Hole Star) is more general, and the means by which they would 'overfeed' to accomplish the dissolution of the event horizon is very specific and deliberate.
      They didn't explain the precise specifics and it's likely a process involving a lot of mathematics and nomenclature that's beyond me but suffice it to say the exact method used may be very different process than what would naturally occur during simple overfeeding.

    I personally find black holes fascinating and thinking about what's 'beyond' the singularity I found that maybe our universe itself is a massive (for an outside observer) black hole.
    Since the schwarzschild radius increases when the black hole increases in mass, it would explain why from our perspective the edge of the universe is drifting away. the edge of the visible universe is accelerating because the closer you are to a black hole, the slower time is running, so equally if you look outwards, time must be running faster from your perspective, thus the growth of the event horizon/edge of the visible universe would look accelerating to us.
    Furthermore, since it is a point of infinite density, bends space and time infinitely AND our laws of physics (looking at plank length specifically) don't apply anymore, I don't see a reason where entire universes couldn't be shrunk into a singularity, for an outside observer. since size is relative when
    Our 'big bang' thus would be the birth of the singularity we live in, equally every black hole in our universe would contain their own universes (hello there multiverse), with their own set of physics, since size is relative, our plank length could be their plank length but for an outside observer infinitely smaller, while for them it would be just the plank length.
    The mass thats being sucked in from outside would be converted to dark energy, since the definitions I found claim that with the expansion of space (event horizon) more of dark energy should come into existence, it would explain both the increase in dark energy and the expansion of event horizons when matter falls into a black hole
    Also, a black hole would therefore in a way be at the very same time a white hole, just for another universe, only spitting out dark energy (but still spitting out smth nonetheless) but no actual matter with mass. cosmic background radiation could maybe be just matter crossing the event horizon and being converted, or a side effect of the conversion process.
    It's just a little theory of my own and unless somebody sticks their head into an event horizon or we find a way of flying to the edge of the visible universe to see if there's actually more universe, or what else may lie beyond the edge, we'll probably never know for sure.
    I'm pretty sure there's something that's very strictly ruling this out as a possibility that I don't know of, otherwise I can't explain how I never heard of such a theory anywhere else. 🤔

    @Damariobros Před 10 měsíci

    Is it possible that the black hole forming is simply its mass spontaneously collapsing into energy and being flung across time? I had always thought it was the formation and the separation of matter-antimatter pairs due to the ambient fluctuation of space-time, and the antimatter gets flung into the black hole instead of immediately annihilating its counterpart. But if antimatter doesn't affect a black hole except to make it bigger, then perhaps the only explanation is, it's just a product of mass/energy that's no longer in this age. Like if you put your hand in a river and sweep away water, there's a dip where your hand was and that water that was there is now downstream.
    If time and space switch past the event horizon, then perhaps it's mass that got pulverized into energy and blasted across time.
