No, they are not Astrum episodes. At the undergraduate level you get a physics degree. At the PhD level you can become an astronomer or cosmologist, and these are difficult degrees. After that you are a post-doc, and the whipping boy of whatever university you get your grant from. Now you have The opportunity to work yourself day and night to discover something of importance, maybe a dark energy star, so you become noticed and can get a tenured position. After reaching the big time you can still moonlight for a Japanese telescope company to make ends meet, especially if you work close to a major telescope such as the Keck in Hawaii. It’s a rat race.

One more interesting thing that you forgot to mention about Neutron Stars (which almost no one ever makes clear) is that they are almost pure neutrons - hence the name... but where did all the electrons and protons go that were in the star? Well once they get squeezed close enough to each other they combine and become more neutrons.

Dear Alex, I do appreciate your show and the enormous amount of work that you put into each episode. There is one criticism of today’s dialogue when about 1/3rd the way through you talked about “Heat coming from the sun”. Heat is the progression of the vibration of molecules within gas, liquids or solids. The sun lives in a bath of vacuum and therefore heat cannot be emitted from the Sun’s surface. Radiation {eg Infrared EMR} can travel through a vacuum and in turn heats up gases, liquids and solids when it interacts with them on Earth. This is how heating of Earth happens but it is an indirect rather than a direct process. Cheers.

I'm leaning toward 1 more kind of star, the quark dwarf. (Not necessarily different externally from black hole, but different internally.) Only works if there is quark-degeneracy pressure, and probably only works with neutrons stars close to the neutron-degeneracy limit. Pre-quark neutron star vacuums up gas (interstellar medium) until second collapse. Then quark degeneracy takes over for interior. (An extension of _____'s book, "The Dragon's Egg", where a crustquake and collapse caused a size reduction.) If a collapse is gentle enough, and quark degeneracy exceeds neutron degeneracy, a quarkstar is possible. Still could be invisible, but not nigh-singularity. Just conjecture, though. While I've read of same-quark resistance to touching, I haven't read how close top and bottom quarks get in protons and neutrons.

Every time another Astrum video comes out, I just gravitate to it. This is another excellently presented, mind expanding topic. Astrophysics is getting weirder by the " - - -day, week, month or even year - - -". Are gravistars the universal version of antigravity generators?

A GRAVISTAR??? Ouch! I think you just bent my brain. Superb video Alex! 10/10!

~ There shouldn't be any confusion about grav. blackholes, e.m. jet streams, or wormholes, because the balance of light energy & gravitational matter determines whether cosmic objects become strictly gravitational black holes, or e.m. jet streams (stars), & anything in between. Along with wormholes which are a equal density balance between both, as well as bound with their corresponding balanced & equilibrated strong & weak forces. ~ The blackhole/jetstream in the center of the Milky Way Galaxy is the e.m./grav. finite & mortal signature of our Milky Way Galaxy, which is also bound by it's correspective Strong & Weak Forces as well. ~ In conclusion: The balance & equilibrium of Strong & Weak Forces determine the color, shape, size, & spatial qualities of a grav. blackhole, e.m. jet stream, or a wormhole, in both space & time.

Very interesting, so, if we follow the naming convention for neutron stars, could a white dwarf then be called an electron star since it's balancing on the electron degeneracy pressure limit?

I'm a retired bio/engineer and stayed out of it, we have our own dogmatists with the same problem. It's just funny to me now.

Yes. Expanding black stars which emit expanding dark energy / pushing force❤

Here's something I've always figured to probably be way more plausible for black holes than most would reckon, which is... The fact that although they appear infinitely dense due to the fact that they are almost a true singularity, which would be infinitely dense and whatnot, They are not. In fact a rather interesting thing is... that black holes, if you could reach their surface safely without being ripped apart the moment you even got close to the event horizon in the slightest, would be immeasurable bright because of light's inability to escape. Which would also simultaneously make black holes the hottest objects in our universe because of the inability for light to radiate off like a star or stellar remnant. Furthermore, your retinas, would be fried on the spot the moment you even looked up out of the blackhole if they weren't fried the moment you saw the surface of the black hole. Furthermore, a theoretical star that has no real gravity that can be interacted with... although mathematically possible, I'd... reckon in terms of the real world, would be unlikely to ever see. Though on the other hand if we do encounter exotic stars. One such one that although would be more likely possible in an artificial format rather than natural... is a quantum energy star of sorts. A star whose existence is solely attached to quantum mechanics. And whose core would be a black hole potentially, that would also not only be fed by the star, but also feed the star too in the process. Relying on the potential unknowns of quantum mechanics to grow exponentially if not properly contained. Of course it'd be unlikely to see such a star, let alone one with a black hole at it's core in terms of natural ones.

Theoretically, if it exists then the Graviton must escape from black holes, but it's not quite explained in the theory. This abnormality is why it probably doesn't exist. But this abnormality might just mean they got the polarity wrong, perhaps Gravitons work into the direction of no Graviton pressure just like fluids/gases do, but this raises the question... is it a virtual particle or a wave, or real particle? 33% chance that when it exists it doesn't inhibit its own movement, much like a photon is its own antiparticle. Also 66% chance it raises more issues than fixes.

How wonderful is it to hover at the edge of knowledge

I'm curious how neutron degeneracy pressure is affected/counteracted by centrifugal force generated by the star's spin. If the star at the absolute minimal mass to be a neutron star and was spinning so fast that its surface was moving very quickly, let's say 50% the speed of light, would that reduce the neutron degeneracy pressure enough to "break" it out of being a neutron star?

Astrum : Dark Energy Me : Ah....My type of star....

Could possibly both versions of extremely dense objects exist in our universe? I am rather fantasising than speculating now, since I have no background in astrophysics: Could that be an explanation for the observed gap in the size of black holes, like: Stellar black holes are "real" black holes, whereas super massive black holes are of the even more exotic type?

An interesting vid idea, since you decided to talk about unrealistic stars, is different colors. I understand why we probably wouldn't be able to see them because blue/red shift, but could they exist? Like a green star for example. When you burn certain elements they can flare up in many colors, so could the same be true for a star that contains an ample amount of differing elements, or would it just cause problems or a collapse?

I like this video for the layman. But man. Each sentence it feels deserves its own video

Well, I would think that if a gravistar exerts no gravitational force no matter how close or far you are from it (maybe even touching it or sticking your finger in it), then it can't be a black hole, because black holes exert gravitational force.

So the pressure values falls along a vertical asymptote through ever increasing magnitude negatives to a point of infinity or POI, where infinity and negative infinity are one and the same. The pressure then falls through the POI and down through lower magnitude positives. As a mathematician, I played around with replacing the x and y axes of the Cartesian grid with real projective lines. This replaces the infinite 2D plane with a torus. The outermost ring is y = 0. The central interior ring is y = POI The front most vertical ring is x = 0 The back most vertical ring is x = POI The graph of y = 1/x around x = 0 shows the behavior described above perfectly. While I just thought that this would be fun to play around with, going through a POI and wrapping around bridging positives and negatives was never a feature I thought could be part anything that truly exist. But it would be fascinating to be proven wrong about that.

13:40 I'm failing to parse this sentence, can anyone help me please? ‘So far ... the radius of the black hole candidates we _see_ ... is at least approximately equal to their Schwarzschild radius: in some cases, that’s just a rough estimate, _but in others, we’ve calculated that radius to within 40 decimal places.’_ (emph. mine). If I read it as ‘the radius of the black hole candidates we _observe_ in some cases [the "others" in the original sentence] was calculated [based on these observations] to 40 decimals’, it becomes sheer nonsense: nothing has been ever measured to 40 _or more_ decimal accuracy (the 'calculation' implies other inputs, with their own uncertainties), and unlikely will in the next 200 years if at all. The most precise experimental measurement ever made has been the electron's gyromagnetic anomaly _g−2,_ calculated to 10 decimals from a measurement done to whopping 13 decimals. That's in the lab experiment, and all astrophysical observations I'm aware of are a far cry from these. 40, 30, 20, 10, 7 decimals spell nonsense in this context. Additionally, a high-precision measurement consistently yielding the _Schwarzschild_ radius, not Kerr (rotating), even if made to 3 decimals, not 40, would mean that these candidates, if really BHs, are (nearly) non-rotating. We know that newborn neutron stars spin like crazy, exactly what we expect from the law of angular momentum conservation, and there is no reason to believe that a collapse to a BH instead of a NS would not result in the high angular momentum of the BH. We know the Milky Way's SBMH approximate spin, too, and it's definitely non-zero beyond counting any sigmas, despite low accuracy/precision. More to this, GW signatures match rotating BH mergers, where certainty is high enough. None were _definitely_ non-spinning; there were only spinning and "maybe". I wouldn't have missed such a revolutionary discovery paper; it would turn our understanding of a lot of physics on its head, up to questioning the very angular momentum conservation validity. I obviously misreading the sentence, but I cannot understand in any other way, whichever linguistic contortions I try; it's pretty straightforward. Obviously, you can calculate an imaginary, theoretical case to an arbitrary precision, but the statement is clearly about calculations from observational data: 'the radius of the black hole candidates we _see_ ... we’ve calculated ... to within 40 decimal places'. Any help out there translating that for me, please?

So they saying that they have separated a black light sun and a black hole, nice. Because I've wondered about that with some black holes giving off invisible light or gas but they are supposed to only absorb theoretically

I think there's a lot to consider when talking about this, I also think we always look at the basic system we know to explain what we don't, EG: cold is the absence of heat, dark is the absence of light, vacuum is the absence of matter....... Or is it? is there more to this, and the base values are just not measurable in our 3dimensional plane. obviously this will offer so much more debate, and we really done have the space on here to do it? or do we?

B-b-but wait a sec, the dark energy still comes from “nowhere” (if solutions of the Einstein Field Equation for the cosmological model is "nowhere"-everything else comes out of these same equations, after all; dark energy is not an outlier), only not spread uniformly in the whole spacetime but instead collects into the hypothetical gravistar blobs. What's so compelling about it? It's still the same dark energy in new packaging. But yeah, interesting to ponder indeed. “Certainly worth more investigation”-sure it is. Keep in mind that we publish papers because we like to toy with theories and models. Papers are how scientists communicate their ideas to other scientists, and most often aren't reports of a big discovery, or any discovery at all. That's simply our big Facebook where we post stuff that seems like an interesting idea, like, what if... There were over 5 million scientific papers published in 2023 alone. (And poor blokes in academia have to publish or perish, no matter what they publish, quantity over quality, but that's entirely a different issue.)

Hey Mr. Astrum, what would happen if a large asteroid hit the Moon? I was watching one of your videos on the Moon and all the pockmarks made me wonder what kind of chaos that would cause.

I'm not sure from this, it seems to say there are Back holes AND there are Gravastars. Both can look similar but have very different interiors? Of Gravastars form from collapsing stars and negative energy matter (never heard of that before more detail required), then how do black holes get created?

Okay, I've been handling the weird things in astronomy so far (I'm 77 yo), but here's my limit. You've finally gone "wonky" with "negative infinity".

I think it’s possible all of these celestial objects exist simultaneously. I think it’s possible objects like Grav-stars can exist, and I think that there could be a variety of different types of what we would consider to be black holes; both the traditional gravitational singularities, and these newer hypothesized “troves of dark energy”. I theorize that it’s due to the lack of precision and advancement with our instruments that makes it difficult to tell what is objectively true or not for certain

Great content, commenting for the algorithm

IT would be interesting if a black hole creates dark energy and matter by consuming the matter it takes in, in such a way it separates the matter from the gravity and leaves the gravity behind and we merely call it dark matter/ energy because of this supposition that gravity cannot exist without some kind of matter to exert it and there is actually nothing but the gravity to measure. So instead Black holes are just recycling gravity by stripping the matter from it and that gravity itself is not tied to anything, it is just attracted to mass. We did decide that gravity was not a thing but a byproduct of mass. Maybe we are wrong? Maybe a black hole merely strips away the mass and gravity Is dark matter/ energy? This would also explain that as the universe expands, dark matter and energy are fillings the voids. The reason is there is nothing for it to be attracted to? We assume dark energy is causing the universe to expand, maybe it is because it is gravity without mass to attach to so it expands. Since the universe is getting emptier and emptier the gravity is merely it's own accelerant as it accumulates with no mass and that is also why it is speeding up and everything is expanding away from each other?

black holes could be everywhere including where in this video, and be opposite of what we make of them. They could be dense enough that they "gravitate" to a larger dimension size than our own observation... like the view from inside an atom to the concept of a distant molecule. Attraction can be inside and out and beyond this even, getting larger and yet smaller infinitely. It boggles the mind to think bigger or smaller than we do right now, but it has to be possible, it's there even if it isn't. Gr8! Peace ☮💜

well... black holes do slowly emit radiation and over time diminish in size and weight and density. Last time i heard and checked we have proved hawking radiation but we havent actually detected it. so if every black hole is emitting a form of radiation that we know exists but we havent detected yet, is that not a form of dark energy?

So black holes are the final arbiters of the fate of the Universe if I've understood that correctly? I'm archiving this video, very precious.

I like to think blackholes are the readings of warphole signatures but we just don't understand it yet.

Thanks!

Idk, the way you described gravistars would make them seem quite rare, as you would need extraordinary circumstances to balance the gravity and pressure like that. By just the amount of dark energy there is supposed to be in the universe (it is supposed to comprise up to 70% of everything) I don't think it is plausible that gravistars would make up the bulk of dark energy. Maybe a small portion of it, but certainly not all of it.

We are told a black hole collapses to a singularity. Nobody asks why it needs to go that far. I believe the object simply has to be massive enough to prevent light escaping. The lump at its centre will be there. You just can’t ever escape its gravity. If you can actually get that fat during the life of the universe. Time stops at the speed of light. Gravity at the event horizon stops light so presumably it stops time as well.

A plausible model of The Great Attractor(s)!

The great attractor is a giant group of galaxies. We can already see it.

Black holes are a never ending source of fascination for me. I sometimes wonder if they're behind the creation of the universe in general. Maybe we're inside one right now.

I'm still confused..... why wouldn't sufficiently dense/massive objects have an event horizon? Wouldn't the resulting gravitational effects be strong enough to prevent light from being emitted/escaping if the light is close enough to the object? Wouldn't the distance be an event horizon?

15:02 basically sounds like a load of hoopla then. They don't even know what to actually know by the sounds of it

Plot twist: the observable universe IS one immense gravastar.

I’ve been trying to get some science coverage of the infrared star in dune 2 because for the life of me I don’t understand how that would work or if it’s even possible for light to sap the colour of things that way. Would love a video on the various questions about the giedi prime star.

I put my money on an 'unbound quark star' being the next star density between neutron and singularity.

honestly sometimes i just look at the stars, or i’ll watch a video about the cosmos and i just think “man, what the HELL is going on out there” LMAO
