Is A Runaway Black Hole Creating A Trail of Stars? | Neil deGrasse Tyson Explains...
Ғылым және технология
What phenomenon is behind a mysterious line of stars? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice explore the possibility of a triple galaxy collision and a runaway black hole with theoretical astrophysicist Saavik Ford.
A Quick Note from The StarTalk Producers:
We delight in the mysteries of the universe as they continue to unfold through the work of scientists and the scientific method. For the following explainer, we note that the Black Hole described has yet to be confirmed, and in the days that followed publication of the original research paper, alternative explanations have been put forth, leaving this a hotly contested subject - for now. Such is the frontier of research.

Thank u both so very much for all the laughs & knowledge u both share with all of us on planet earth

What I like most about Neil is the way he explains stuff in such a simplified and non academic approach making it so easy to understand unlike 99% of astro physicists
Great guest, thanks StarTalk 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
These explainers are my favorite parts of StarTalk they get to the point they throw out a bunch of math and they do it very well and efficiently... I'm an engineer that always says the quicker the scientist get to the point the quicker we can build something to further new discoveries
I just want to say I could never get tired of my favorite astrophysics KZread channels and the comedy is spot-on.
Episode moved along Nicely, interesting and easy to understand. Would like to see this guest again on another topic.

Could you please do an explainer video talking about sunset and sunrise and how they can statically say which time the sun will set or rise especially with varying rates of land elevation. Hopefully I articulated my question good enough lol
Super helpful visuals. Also I'm sorry I was not aware that there are that large of black holes, now I'm intrigued and terrified. Would that large of black holes create more complex deformations of space-time.

I' was waiting for a video on this since there has been alot of talk about it
Outstanding show 🎉
With two gravitational bodies there are only two possibilities they capture each other and stain in elliptical orbit, or they crash in each other and merge. Yes, it is remotely possible that one goes into an hyperbolic trajectory around the other and sling out, but hat case that object had to be a rogue black hole to start with, and already posses escape velocity. With three objects , they start a chaotic dance that in some cases results in one of them gaining escape velocity and leaving the system.
Very cool one!
For us to find something so interesting 8 billion light years away is a testament to our technology, but also how much there is to discover.
Amazing! An astrophysicist named after a Star Trek character. We once had a babysitter named after Sagan.

I have a cosmic question, if we know EVERYTHING including light is sucked into black holes if they pass to close to them, then how do you know the radio waves are not blocked or sucked into those holes as well? Perhaps that’s why communication with other galaxies has only been achieved once (the wow signal)

Thank you Neil!
lol she quoted The Tick. "Earth is where I keep all my stuff!"
Neil interacting with a current researcher, bringing to light, as it were, astrophysics, works better than NDGT on his own expounding; and Chuck was on fire in this one too.
Thanks Neil from Mexico!
what an awesome story.
When it comes to the old adage, "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" I'm inclined to believe that it was the egg because it would have required the change to have occurred on the genetic level so that it can replicate the chicken and that would happen in the early stages of development while in the egg. But I wonder in the case of a black hole, "If it is necessary for a galaxy to have a black hole at the center for the galaxy to exist then what can explain a black hole without a galaxy?" Is it that what makes up a galaxy was originally randomly displaced gases and existing objects and a passing black hole pulled on what was there to become orderly in what we recognize as a galaxy with the black hole at the center slowly pulling everything to it for consumption until it runs out of material to consume and then it's just a lone black hole until the process begins all over again like a space vacuum cleaner? If this may be correct then what came first was the black hold which in pulling objects to itself created the galaxy which is recognizable to us. Therefore, the galaxy can't exist without the black hole but the black hole can exist on its own and that is one possibility, the other may be that among the randomly displaced gases and objects, one of the objects imploded creating the force that would pull things towards itself creating the galaxy. Now I come to this thought. In an implosion powerful enough to create a black hole that exists to pull everything into itself like an exit wound on the fabric of space leaking everything outside our universe?
She does a good job of explaining this stuff.
This one really grabbed my imagination. Wild!
Never tired. Keep spewing.
This is CLASSIC black hole behavior. They are always running off and trailing and gobbling things with utterly NO regard for the people, dusts, or gasses around them! Such Karens! Also, props to CUNY! (I am currently in the Research Admin Compliance (SPS RAC) graduate program at CUNY!)
Very good
3 body systems are notoriously unstable, so when she mentioned it I immediately understood why.
Or the physics version through the powers of assumption that all is 100 dollars. So little time to do all we are good at and accept all our options. Bravo!
So much comedic material here
A lone supermassive black hole speeding through space - assembling a linear galaxy in its wake. Amazing physics. I so wish the poet of science, Carl Sagan, had lived to see this and the HDF images. I would pay to hear his reaction. Dr. Tyson. I have had the privilage to attend a lecture you gave here in Denver on culture. In science outreach, You fill his shoes nicely. Thank you!

The supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A*, is 4.3 million solar masses. This is the only black hole whose mass has been measured directly by observing the full orbit of a circling star. Black holes grow by accreting surrounding matter and by merging with other black holes.
Wouldnt gravitational waves from those huge supermassive black holes cause so many ripples in space that it would then cause a redshifting of light from high Z galaxies. As the light would be traversing waves/traveling even further and further the more distant than it would travel otherwise?
Light boom explainer please!
chuck is the best co-host
U guys really don't know how much ur jokes makes it quite easy 2 understand physics dat would originally made 4 experts on d topics. Tnks guys
Can u guys do a explainer on "Hycean Planets" plzzz
Yayyy Saavik she's an awesome person.
I wonder at what speed rate these galaxy’s black holes are spinning to create another black hole?
Most people don't know that Einstein said that singularities are not possible. In the 1939 journal "Annals of Mathematics" he wrote "the essential result of this investigation is a clear understanding as to why the Schwarzchild singularities (Schwarzchild was the first to raise the issue of General relativity predicting singularities) do not exist in physical reality. Although the theory given here treats only clusters whose particles move along circular paths it does seem to be subject to reasonable doubt that more general cases will have analogous results. The Schwarzchild singularities do not appear for the reason that matter cannot be concentrated arbitrarily. And this is due to the fact that otherwise the constituting particles would reach the velocity of light" He was referring to the phenomenon of dilation (sometimes called gamma or y) mass that is dilated is smeared through spacetime relative to an outside observer. This is illustrated in a common 2 axis relativity graph with velocity on the horizontal line and dilation on the vertical. Even mass that exists at 75% light speed is partially dilated. General relativity does not predict singularities when you factor in dilation. Einstein is known to have repeatedly spoken about this. Nobody believed in black holes when he was alive for this reason. Wherever you have an astronomical quantity of mass, dilation will occur because high mass means high momentum. There is no place in the universe where mass is more concentrated than at the center of a galaxy. According to Einstein's math, the mass at the center of our own galaxy must be dilated. In other words that mass is all around us. This is the explanation for the abnormally high rotation rates of stars in spiral galaxies, the missing mass is dilated mass. According to Einstein's math, galaxies with very, very low mass would have normal star rotation rates because they do not have enough mass at the center to achieve relativistic velocities, therefore they are not infused with dilated mass. This has recently been confirmed with 5 very low mass galaxies including NGC 1052-DF2. This is virtual proof that dilation is the governing phenomenon in galactic centers, there can be no other realistic explanation for this fact. The shape of a galaxy is common in nature. From atoms to our solar system, the overwhelming majority of the mass is in the center. The same must be true for galaxies. Where there is mass there is energy. The night sky should be lit up from the galactic center but it isn't. The modern explanation for this is because gravitational forces there are so strong that not even light can escape. Einstein's answer would be because the mass there is dilated relative to an Earthbound observer. The reason why we cannot see light from the galactic center is because there is no valid XYZ coordinate we can attribute to it, you can't point your finger at something that is smeared through spacetime. Or more precisely, everywhere you point is equally valid.
Thanks Neil it’s nice to have someone point out the generational housing gap.
