  • Black holes seem to be timeless, lurking in the cosmos, forever eating and growing. However, astronomers believe that there is a way for black holes to shrink in size and eventually evaporate away. In episode 18 of Subatomic Stories, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln talks about Hawking radiation, the ultimate fate of black holes.
    *Correction: The force numbers for objects 15,000 meters above the event horizon for a supermassive black hole were incorrect. The correct numbers are a force of 860,000 pounds for a 1 kilogram object. A one kilogram object a meter farther away from the black hole will experience a force that is only 7.3E-5 pounds lower.*

    My time to shine!! As Don would probably say, "the description of how 'Don' is used in Spanish is true, but there is a more accurate one". Yes, 'Don' is used as honorific BUT it is an honorific for people that doesn't have a college degree title, like Dr. for medical doctors and PhDs; Ing. for engineers, Mtro. for master degrees, etc.
    When introducing a person that does have a college degree, one would NOT use 'Don' as honorific, one would say something like: Honorable Dr. Don Lincoln, or Venerable Dr. Don Lincoln, etc; The 'Don' is used as a replacement for the college degree title. If one introduces a person that doesn't have a college tittle that is when the 'Don' would be used. As a replacement for the Dr., PhD., or Ing. before the name. That's why it could have sounded a little odd.
    Also, the Don as the Don Corleone, I think it's like a title in the Italian mafia, and it's a different, I don't think it's used as a replacement for the college title, one could be a doctor and still be called The Don, it's like his rank or position in the mafia.

      Usage of mafia aside (which anyway concerns a limited area of Italy) generally in Italy Don is used as title for priests, usually before their first name. The priest in the village where I grew up was Don Isidoro, in Italy there’s a very popular tv series where the protagonist is a detective priest Don Matteo, etc.
      if dr Lincoln was a priest in Italy he would be addressed as Don Don. 😂

    My question didn't got in this one, hope it gets in the next one.
    Q: how can someone call into a black hole if the time stops at the event horizon?(ofc time will run normally for the falling person ). Isn't the black hole supposed to evaporate away before the person fall in ?

    • @ozzymandius666
      @ozzymandius666 Před 3 lety +5

      Time only stops at the horizon relative to a distant observer. An infalling observer won't notice anything at the horizon, other than tidal forces. Relative to a distant observer, the black hole does evaporate before the infalling one hits the horizon, but relative to the infalling observer, he passes the horizon, and eventually gets spaghettified and then crushed at the center.

    • @simran4222
      @simran4222 Před 3 lety +4

      in some other sources, i read that time "freezes" for an outside observer only, due to severe time dilation, and any light reaching (from the falling body) acquires a longer wavelength, becoming red shifted, then , as the wavelength further increases, the light is no longer in the visible spectrum...In your statement, a black hole will evaporate that quickly only if it is microscopic & emits a large amount of radiation in small time (radiation temperature is inversely proportional to the black hole's mass). stellar mass monsters would take billions of years to evaporate. So , yes, a body will cross the event horizon ... hope this is helpful, buddy :) I recommend PBS spacetime channel

      It means the spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background. Objects emit radiation that's specific to their temperature, so radiation can be "matched" to a temperature in matter, even if that matter is no longer around. The CMB was emitted by the very first atoms formed in the universe at the temperature they had at that time, which was a couple thousand degrees Kelvin iirc. Since then it has been redshifted by the expansion of the universe so now it has the spectrum that matter would emit at 2.7 Kelvin.

    • @Djt4848

      Temperature fluctuations and density fluctuations are one in the same. You have to assume that particles are freely moving, combining, or being destroyed at all times and that this is taking place at all points in space. Since the universe is static different fluctuations produce different temperature variances.

If the energy that gets taken from the black hole gets ejected from it, doesn't that particle then become spread across the universe, assuming our universe isn't infinite(I suppose Torus shaped-universe or something) doesn't that particle then mean that even though the black holes evaporate, other black holes will just consume that matter and grow in size as well?

      It's a point of contention that linguists and nerds alike like to gnash their teeth over. The acronym stands for Graphical Interface Format, so the creator of the standard uses the "Guh" (sounds like "gift"). However, the "gi" combination in the English language usually produces a "Juh" sound (Sounds like "JIF", as in the peanut butter brand). But, it's not the English language if it didn't have more holes and exception than a leaky ship. Also, the English language steals a lot from other languages, so good luck trying to keep any of it straight.
      Long story short: "English language is a messed up language to learn, and nerd fights abound over the 'GIF|JIF' pronunciation." Good Luck!

  • @clancyjames585
    @clancyjames585 Před 3 lety +1

    I'm going to have to call you out there Don on your answer to the "why does the amplitude fall with distance^-1?" question. Firstly, Don's 100% correct that gravitational radiation is quadrupolar; two objects falling directly towards eachother along the same axis correspond to a changing gravitational dipole, but do not emit gravitational radiation. And in static systems, the fields (gravitational, electromagnetic, or what-have-you) of dipolar systems do scale differently with radius to those of quadrupolar systems. However: radiation, but it's very nature, means the propagation of energy "to infinity". The energy in gravitational waves, just like the energy in electromagnetic waves or, for that matter, the waves on the beach or you waving your hand, scales with the square of the amplitude. However, as the waves radiate outwards, the surface area over which they are spread increases with radius, r, square. Hence, their amplitude must be proportional to 1/r, so that their energy per surface area falls as 1/r^2. This is because the area over which they are spread increases as r^2 and thus their total energy stays constant with increasing radius, i.e. it is transported to infinity. This must be the case regardless of the underlying source of the radiation, and it is also true of gravitational waves. Hence, the underlying answer to the question is simply: conservation of energy implies that the amplitude must fall as 1/r. A couple of caveats: in the particle world, radiation can be thought of as a real particle - one that obeys E^2=M^2 c^2 + p^2 c^4, as opposed to virtual particles which temporarily can violate this law - heading out of a Feynman diagram. This is equivalent, since that real particle's wave function is not exponentially attenuated, and hence it can carry its energy to infinity. Next caveat: this kind of definition ignores absorption in a medium, which is not expected or observed in gravitational waves, but does occur for e.g. light radiated from a light bulb. In that case the energy that would be transported to infinity goes to the medium.
    Also: I do not like you Don encouraging people to imagine all sorts of craziness going on beneath an event horizon, and much prefer Kip Thorne's answer until we have some indication of what the form of quantum gravity looks like. Otherwise we'll keep getting very strange endings involving tesseracts to otherwise good movies.

  • @bedhunter
    @bedhunter Před 3 lety +1

    Regarding spaghettification and SMBH: I assume you mean that there is no spaghettification outside the even horizon, but at some point inside of it, a falling object would experience it. We are just comparing a constant, c, with a wider exponential curve.
    That’s very handy to save the Interstellar movie, by the way.

    Hey Don, love your videos. I was wondering what happens to the photons. Are they just "perpetually doing their thing" since they dont have mass and dont experience time? or do the wavelengths just get "flattened out" due to the expansion of the space they are traveling through till they are indiscernible from the ground state of the field? Sorry if this is a bit non-technical; Im not an expert in this stuff by any means.

    OK, a simple explanation why amplitude falls as inverse of distance:
    Power per unit of area always falls as inverse square of distance, because of conservation laws (are of sphere grows as square of distance). Also wave power is proportional to the square of its amplitude (for most types of waves: EM, sound, gravitational). Thus amplitude would fall as inverse of distance.
    Exceptions to that would be if there's dispersion (or red shift) which increases the observed length of a pulse. Red shift would also decrease the full observed energy of a pulse.

    According to the multiple expansion, the gravitational radiation is not dipolar radiation but quadripolar radiation in case of equal masses. For pairs with different masses , it is somewhat dipolar but essentially quadripolar and reciprocaly dies out in the 3rd power of the distance (not r^2 but r^3).

    I have a question about black holes... several astrophysisicts have made videos about rotating black holes, and they take it as a given that the event horizon can't rotate faster than light speed. Why is that? Real 'things' can't move faster than light, but you can get apparent superluminal motion with things like shadows. So why can't the black hole spin so fast and be so big that it's event horizon is moving faster than lightspeed?

      I'm not Don, but i suppose i can give some kind of answer. Don't take serious, i'm not a physicist at all.
      And here we meeting several problems which does not allow to give clean answer.
      1) At first, as Black Hole gets bigger, pressure in it's center should grow. As pressure grows, properly of matter changes significantly. Actually it may be already so different that we cannot even imagine that. So let's guess that matter property does not change significantly, and it becomes simply packet tightly, very tightly, to be precise. In this case we can go some ways:
      a) Quarks, leptons or whatever else makes matter itself are packed as tight that they creates one big "particle" which is the blackhole singularity itself. This makes weak force not working as we might guess, and thus there's no problem to keep it growing
      b) Quarks, leptons or whatever else makes matter itself keeps their property to push each other away, and this force grows more and more the bigger pressure is. This way after reaching certain huge pressure next portion of fallen matter will cause explosion so strong, that black hole will either disappear completely or throw away significant amount of it's mass. This is possible in spinning black holes, and explosion itself, assuming it's not completely simmetrical, may create even faster spinning.
      2) Singularity may not be not as small as we guessing, again, due to the inner pressure, which means the further from the center certain point is, the less density it will have. After some calculations it happens that black hole of the size of whole observed universe will have average density approximately equal to the current average density of the observed universe.
      Probably sounds speculative, but there is the possibility that the entire universe is the black hole, which would mean that here's kinda no size limitation for it.

    Since you're covering Black Holes at the moment, I have a question that has been puzzling me for years. In Kip Thorne's book on the "Science of Interstellar" he says "The common idea that a black hole is just made of very compacted matter is wrong. It may have been created by very compacted matter, but the matter is gone. It's been completely destroyed, it no longer exists."
    If I'm interpreting this correctly, and I assume I am not, then I have a big problem. Firstly, if the extreme warping of spacetime, that is a black hole, is formed by a large mass in an incredibly small volume, if that mass "disappears" what stops the fabric of spacetime from springing back to being flat. Secondly, and has happened to the mass anyway?

    • @narfwhals7843
      @narfwhals7843 Před 3 lety +1

      The mass didn't disappear, the matter did. The mass-energy of that matter is still inside the black hole. We don't really have a useful, agreed on description of what happened to the matter, though. All we can say from outside the black hole is that there is an energy density big enough to create a horizon, and very little about what goes on inside.

      Yes, we can predict the spin of the entangled particle that fell into the black hole. But we can never verify the prediction so it isn’t a very useful prediction. If we toss one glove of a pair without looking at it into a black hole, we can look at the hand of glove retained and predict the hand of the one that went in. The two situations are similar except for a quantum mechanics rule making the decision for the entangled particle pair.

      Besides, quantum entanglement is based on hidden variables like gloves are. But quantum entanglement uses hidden *global* variables, not hidden *local* variables like gloves, at least to the best of our current understanding. Hidden local variables have been ruled out for quantum entanglement. The only other possibility is faster than light information travel and that is also ruled out. Do you have another explanation that doesn't entail magic?

      This is still an open question. When a black hole gets small enough (round about Planck length), its temperature is so high, that the particles it is suppose to emit have the same energy as the black hole itself. It can't emit particles with smaller energy, because that would make the black hole so small and hot, that it should radiate particles more massive than itself.
      This is one of those things that breaks physics, and requires unification of general relativity and quantum mechanics to get a sensible answer.
