By Ashley Strickland, CNN. “The basic research… by Peratt showed the formation of spiral galaxies using only electric current, plasma and magnetic fields.” “For the G.U.T., think electromagnetism, not gravity. Photograph by NASA/UMass/D.Wang et al., STScI Thousands of Black Holes … Supermassive black holes like SgrA*—the monstrous black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy—are characterized by just two numbers: mass and spin, but have a critical influence on the formation and evolution of galaxies. Updated 2153 GMT (0553 HKT) November 12, 2019 . Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/universetoday This finding is being basically ignored by astrophysicists and cosmologists when the evidence should be the topic of every scientific conversation regarding these galactic centers (“black holes”).

Over the short term, that supermassive black hole is totally harmless. THE SUPERMASSIVE black hole at the centre of the Milky Way is becoming more lively, astronomers have discovered. In order for a black hole to actually consume a star, it needs to make a direct hit. The evidence is now almost irrefutable that there is a supermassive black hole with a mass four million times that of the sun lurking in the middle of the Milky Way. Center Of The Milky Way Has Thousands Of Black Holes, Study Shows : The Two-Way The supermassive black hole lurking at the center of our galaxy appears to have a … I mean, we’d all freeze because there wasn’t a Sun in the sky anymore, but the Earth would continue to orbit this black hole in exactly the same orbit, for billions of years. They say it is possibly one hundred thousand times more massive than the sun has been found hiding in a toxic gas cloud near the galaxy's center. He is a physicist at the University of Chicago in Illinois. In the lifetime of the Sun, it won’t interact with us in any way, or consume more than a handful of stars. For further details of our complaints policy and to make a complaint please click this link: thesun.co.uk/editorial-complaints/, Comments are subject to our community guidelines, which can be viewed, , Digital Technology and Science Reporter, This artist's impression shows the huge bursts of radiation exploding from the centre of the Milky Way and reaching the Magellanic Stream, Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO), A black hole is a region of space where absolutely nothing can escape, That's because they have extremely strong gravitational effects, which means once something goes into a black hole, it can't come back out, They get their name because even light can't escape once it's been sucked in – which is why a black hole is completely dark, There has to be a point at which you're so close to a black hole you can't escape, Otherwise literally everything in the universe would have been sucked into one, The point at which you can no longer escape from a black hole's gravitational pull is called the event horizon, The event horizon varies between different black holes, depending on their mass and size, The gravitational singularity is the very centre of a black hole, It's a one-dimensional point that contains an incredibly large mass in an infinitely small space, At the singularity, space-time curves infinitely and the gravitational pull is infinitely strong, Conventional laws of physics stop applying at this point, Most black holes are made when a supergiant star dies, This happens when stars run out of fuel – like hydrogen – to burn, causing the star to collapse, When this happens, gravity pulls the centre of the star inwards quickly, and collapses into a tiny ball, It expands and contracts until one final collapse, causing part of the star to collapse inward thanks to gravity, and the rest of the star to explode outwards, The remaining central ball is extremely dense, and if it's especially dense, you get a black hole. Situated some 26,000 light years from Earth in the center of the Milky Way, the black hole is four million times as massive as the sun, according to NASA. 00:58:20 Could neutrinos be dark matter? During the study, data was gathered by the Hubble Space Telescope and used to calculate when and how the explosion took place. Point by point, then: Huge black hole is lurking at the centre of our Milky Way galaxy, new images show. It's not supermassive, but only an intermediate-mass black hole, near the center of the Milky Way. 00:53:21 Is a hot big bang feasible? And others will be safe, assuming they can avoid this fate over the Googol years it’ll take for the supermassive black hole to finally evaporate. Giving off more energy than the rest of their own galaxy combined. See no ads on this site, see our videos early, special bonus material, and much more. For the G.U.T., think electromagnetism, not gravity. My first objection is your use of the term “black hole”. I wonder how the accretion disc (or whatever) sits above the gravitational forces with impunity. Black holes are a class of astronomical objects that have undergone gravitational collapse, leaving behind spheroidal regions of space from which nothing can escape, not even light. Post was not sent - check your email addresses! 1) “Straw Man:” for the most part, gravity just holds the collection together. Let us know in the comments... We pay for your stories! Black hole in middle of Milky Way could grow TENFOLD, scientists predict HUGE space crash A BLACK hole at the centre of the Milky Way is likely to … The problem happens when these stars interact with one another through their own gravity, and mess with each other’s orbits. Supermassive black holes like SgrA*—the monstrous black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy—are characterized by just two numbers: mass and spin, but have a critical influence on the formation and evolution of galaxies. THE SUPERMASSIVE black hole at the centre of the Milky Way exploded 3.5million years ago, according to astronomers. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0-KklSGlCiJDwOPdR2EUcg/, Astronomy Cast: For our purposes, the black hole at the heart of the Milky Way is completely and totally safe. I hope we can be around to find out the answer. PUBLISHED: 07:01, … 00:40:23 Is the Sun gaining or losing mass? But there’s no reason to fear. It is 8.2 ± 0.4 kiloparsecs (26,700 ± 1,300 ly) away from Earth in the direction of the constellations Sagittarius, Ophiuchus, and Scorpius where the Milky Way appears brightest. Quasars are just black holes in the process of actively feeding; gobbling up so much material it piles up in an accretion disk around it. 00:07:00 Will the Universe end in a Big Rip? In addition (& ALSO unlike the E.U. To give you an example, you could replace the Sun with a black hole with the exact same mass, and nothing would change. If so, why so? I’m sure there is a mathematical explanation which, thank goodness, obviates the need for any radio telescope data. 00:30:00 Does Andromeda have a supermassive black hole? 679215 Registered office: 1 London Bridge Street, London, SE1 9GF. 00:03:13 How can amateurs can contribute to science? This black hole blast phenomenon is known as a Seyfert flare. "These new results instead open the possibility of a complete reinterpretation of its evolution and nature. The black hole known as Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) is situated in the middle of the Milky Way, just 26,000 light years from Earth, according to NASA. X-ray Astronomy Field Guide: Black Holes -- find out more about stellar, mid-range, and supermassive black holes. btraymd……..rather than regurgitate preposterous concepts that have no scientific basis perhaps you might consider some theories that have observational validity and are experimentally verifiable… for instance, I don’t know, the known behavior of the EM force in the first place? 00:34:35 What if an Earth-sized world fell into the Sun? RSS: https://www.universetoday.com/audio, What Fraser's Watching Playlist: We did a whole article on them, but they’re intensely bright objects, generating enough light they can be seen billions of light-years away. Share; Tweet; The centre of the Milky Way … And More…. Predictions confirmed as astronomers find at least a dozen. In the short term, no. “It may sound like a big number, but by astronomical standards, it’s a pretty small number,” says Daniel Holz. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUHI67dh9jEO2rvK–MdCSg, Support us at: https://www.patreon.com/universetoday To the contrary. JUST WATCHED How the first photo of a black hole … To get within the event horizon, which is only about 17 times bigger than the Sun. "A massive blast of energy and radiation came right out of the galactic centre and into the surrounding material. In 2002, astronomers observed that there were stars zipping past this object, like comets on elliptical paths going around the Sun. It will soon be published in The Astrophysical Journal. It’s Faraday, Alvfens, Birkeland and Tesla ( and many others such as Velikosky, Jurrgens, Scott and Thornhill)……not Einstein.

Located just 26,000 light-years away. “First, gravity is too weak to be the cause of galaxy formation.” 00:10:32 How can solar sails be pushed by massless photons? Another problem, unless there is a source of energy from fusion, fission, radioactive decay or stored, They designated it Sgr A*. You think I’m joking, but I’m not. If ever the principle of Occam’s Razor needs to be applied, this is it. 00:38:31 Propulsion systems I'm excited about? A Black Hole and a Supernova in the Galactic Center-- astronomers learn why x-rays from the vicinity of a supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way are so feeble. 00:51:53 What about cold fusion? "The flare event that occurred three million years ago was so powerful that it had consequences on the surrounding of our Galaxy. To see all content on The Sun, please use the Site Map.

Multiple black holes punctuate the middle of the Milky Way. Seriously, how are you going to ignore the known rules covering the electromagnetic force AND THEN propose that that same force is responsible for what we see in the cosmos in exact conflict with those same rules? The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy Credit: Alamy Just to the right of the colourful central region lies Sagittarius A (Sag A), the supermassive black hole in the middle of our galaxy. To inquire about a licence to reproduce material, visit our Syndication site. The first panic will happen when the Milky Way collides with Andromeda in about 4 billion years – let’s call this mess Milkdromeda. "We are the witness to the awakening of the sleeping beauty.". Karla Thompson – @karlaii / https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEItkORQYd4Wf0TpgYI_1fw Black holes and dark matter were not required. The location of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A. According to a new map issued by a Japanese radio astronomy project VERA, planet Earth has edged some 2000 light-years closer to a supermassive black hole situated at the heart of the Milky Way Galaxy. Suddenly, you’ll have two whole clouds of stars interacting in all kinds of ways, like an unstable blended family. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbJ42wpShvmkjd428BcHcCEVWOjv7cJ1G, Weekly email newsletter: But over the vast eons, it could be a different story. https://www.universetoday.com/newsletter, Weekly Space Hangout: This Nobel Prize winning (eventually) work by Peratt showed the formation of spiral galaxies using only electric current, plasma and magnetic fields. 00:26:08 How can the methuselah star be older than the Universe? By who, when and why was this term chosen. But are we in any danger? https://www.amazon.com/Universe-Today-Ultimate-Viewing-Cosmos/dp/1624145442/, Audio Podcast version: Not to be boring but there are some observations which make common sense and have an important experimentally verified foundation. This is considered to be 'astonishingly recent' in galactic terms and is changing what scientists thought they knew about our galaxy. Clumps of gas have been seen swirling around the mysterious region, ten billion times bigger than the Sun 00:00:00 Start Our Book is out! 00:14:18 How did my mind change after interviewing Wallace Arthur In other news, the mysterious ‘cosmic web’ that sticks the universe together has been pictured for first time. Don’t worry, you have absolutely nothing to worry about, unless you plan to live for quadrillions of years, which I do, thanks to my future robot body. The Galactic Center (or Galactic Centre) is the rotational center of the Milky Way galaxy; it is a supermassive black hole of 4.100 ± 0.034 million solar masses, which powers the compact radio source Sagittarius A*. If not, why not? If interstellar space was filled with plasma to allow conduction, as maintained, the braking effect on stellar motion would be greater than observed. That’s a really really long time, so now I don’t like those odds. To my knowledge, not all galaxies have supermassive black holes within them. Same goes with the black hole at the center of the Milky Way. Not just that, the sole habitable planet in the solar system was now speeding 7 km/s (~16,000 mph) faster towards the gigantic celestial void. ITunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/universe-today-guide-to-space-audio/id794058155?mt=2 But this happens very rarely. This massive and enormously powerful structure found at the center of our galaxy (and almost every other galaxy) is neither black nor can it be a “hole” in anything. Want to hear something cool? Scientists finally confirm the Milky Way has a supermassive black hole By Chelsea Gohd | Published: Wednesday, October 31, 2018 Using the ESO’s … Supermassive Black Hole At the center of the Milky Way Galaxy resides the Supermassive Black Hole (SMBH) known as Sagittarius A*. It is considered to be a recent event because when it happened the dinosaurs had already been wiped out for 63million years and human ancestors were already walking on Earth. It is estimated to have lasted for around 300,000 years, which is extremely short in galactic terms. A planet so massive ‘it should not exist’ has been found by baffled astronomers in a nearby star system. This effect outweighs the photoelectric effect. After our neighborhood is completely out of galaxies to consume, then there will just be countless eons of time for stars to interact for orbit after orbit. 00:05:50 What if Sgr* turned into a quasar? 00:32:43 Any progress on Event Horizon Telescope? 00:12:45 Do we know what rocky planets are made out of? And, there's an enormous black hole lurking in this Nasa photo – can you find it? “The… creation of dark matter … has no scientific, experimental or observational support.” Over the coming billions, trillions and quadrillions of years, more and more galaxies will collide with Milkdromeda, bringing new supermassive black holes and more stars to the chaos. At the same time, the discovery of supermassive black holes helped answer one of the big questions in astronomy: what are quasars? 00:20:00 Am I looking forward to Dune? 00:55:15 Could there be planets in globular clusters? in order to work. The research was led by by Professor Joss Bland-Hawthorn from Australia's ARC Centre of Excellence for All Sky Astrophysics in 3 Dimensions (ASTRO 3D). Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. If a star gets close, without hitting, it’ll get torn apart, but still, it doesn’t happen very often. 00:42:52 Can we use fusion for spaceflight? It’s right over there, in the direction of the Sagittarius constellation. Do you have a story for The Sun Online Tech & Science team? In this week's live questions show, I explain how amateurs can contribute to space and astronomy research, will I sign up for Starlink, and what would happen if the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way turned into a quasar? View our online Press Pack. A black hole is just a concentration of mass in a very small region, which things orbit around. Size and Structure: First of all, the sheer size of our galaxy is enough to boggle the mind. Right? Observational evidence indicates that almost every large galaxy has a supermassive black hole at the galaxy's center. And More…, Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Wait, that doesn’t sound cool, that sort of sounds a little scary. X-ray: NASA/UMass/D.Wang et al. Join our 836 patrons! When the electrical energy source is removed, any mercury plasma condenses to mercury vapour, and the light goes out. 2) FALSE: observation itself is what requires “dark matter” exist, the only mystery being what it’s made of. More stories at: https://www.universetoday.com/ Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, operates the same way. Astronomers have for the first time found evidence of an enormous black hole near the heart of the Milky Way galaxy. This is consistent with my personal theory that most, if not all, irregular galaxies are remnants of galactic collisions and cannibalism. "We always thought about our Galaxy as an inactive galaxy, with a not so bright centre. By Sean Martin. 00:48:52 Could we put astronauts to sleep? A supermassive black hole (SMBH or sometimes SBH) is the largest type of black hole, with mass on the order of millions to billions of times the mass of the Sun (M☉). Everyone should revisit the basic research performed by plasma physicist Anthony Peratt at Los Alamos National Labs in the 80’s. Join us at patreon.com/universetoday. The discovery of a supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way, and really almost all galaxies, is one of my favorite discoveries in the field of astronomy. 00:23:30 Isn't the buy in cost for Starlink too expensive? The center of the Milky Way galaxy, with the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), located in the middle. 00:36:01 How can spacecraft journey from star to star? THE SUPERMASSIVE black hole at the centre of the Milky Way exploded 3.5million years ago, according to astronomers. It’s one of those insights that simultaneously answered some questions, and opened up even more. 00:27:31 Can we observe Oort clouds in other Solar Systems? News Corp is a network of leading companies in the worlds of diversified media, news, education, and information services. These findings required the addition of the “accretion disc” since they invalidated the model that said the gravity was so powerful even light could not escape. 4) TRUE. But there are a few situations that might cause some problems over vast periods of time. It is lucky we're not residing there!". Especially from out here in the galactic suburbs. It’s not pulling material in like a vacuum cleaner, it serves as a gravitational anchor for a group of stars to orbit around, for billions of years. The asterisk stands for exciting. https://www.universetoday.com/130307/will-black-hole-eat-milky-way An image of the area surrounding Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy, in X-ray and infrared light. And More…, Episode 695: Q&A 130: Does the Dark Forest Explain the Fermi Paradox? 00:46:15 How could we destroy Saturn's rings? The only objects with that much density and gravity are black holes, but in this case, a black hole with millions of times the mass of our own Sun: a supermassive black hole. The cataclysmic blast ripped through our galaxy and was likely felt 200,00 light years away in the Magellanic Stream. Andromeda’s black hole could be 100 million times the mass of the Sun, so it’s a bigger target for stars with a death wish. Even if we DIDN’T have Relativity to fall back on, that’s a special kind of illogical. But what is really curious is the recent documentation of massive, and I mean colossal, magnetic fields surrounding these galactic centers. It might be one of over 100 million quiet black holes lurking unseen in our galaxy. Stars that would have been safe will careen past other stars and be deflected down into the maw of either of the two supermassive black holes on hand. The example of the fluorescent tube can not be used as a counter argument because the source of energy is electricity generated from stored sunlight (coal). First, gravity is too weak to be the cause of galaxy formation. 3) FALSE: the experiments were done in the 1950’s by Winston H. Bostick, producing galaxy-shaped structures; Peratt’s work was an immense extrapolation of those results. With the discovery of the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole, astronomers found evidence that there are black holes at the heart of every galaxy. Once again, these do sound terrifying. Sound familiar??? Professor Lisa Kewley, who worked on the study, said: "This is a dramatic event that happened a few million years ago in the Milky Way's history. Lauren Fuge reports. The astronomers think it would have created two enormous 'ionisation cones' that would have sliced through the Milky Way. They think it was caused by nuclear activity in the gigantic black hole, known as Sagittarius A. These formations also had the necessary velocities to maintain galactic structure. And More…, Episode 697: Interview: Theoretical Physicist Dr. Peter Woit, Episode 696: Open Space 94: Is It Realistic to Declare a "Free Mars"? When the Milky Way's black hole is more active than usual, that event horizon becomes brighter as it heats up due to friction. What do you make of this Milky Way explosion?

If I’m mistaken – for instance, if there are supermassive black holes associated with the Magellanic Clouds – I’d like someone to let me know, and give me a reference so I can learn more. The Milky Way's black hole kicked a star out of our galaxy. And not just any black hole, it’s a supermassive black hole with more than 4.1 million times the mass of the Sun. Specifically, small irregular galaxies (like the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds) do not. 5) UNKNOWN, however Einstein’s work is at least validated by observation & testing, unlike the Electric/Plasma Universe concept. The new map suggests that the center of the Milky Way, and the black hole which sits there, is located 25,800 light-years from Earth. This service is provided on News Group Newspapers' Limited's Standard Terms and Conditions in accordance with our Privacy & Cookie Policy. The Milky Way has a lot of black holes — about 100 million of them, a new study suggests. “If ever the principle of Occam’s Razor needs to be applied, this is it.” Astronomers have spotted a star dancing around a massive black hole in the middle of the Milky Way galaxy — and they said it proves Einstein was right. ; IR: NASA/STScI "This shows that the centre of the Milky Way is a much more dynamic place than we had previously thought. Even if it turned into a quasar and started eating stars, you wouldn’t even be able to notice it from this distance. Podcast (audio): Download (Duration: 7:16 — 2.6MB), Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Android | RSS, Podcast (video): Download (Duration: 7:18 — 95.2MB). Imagine the mass of our Sun, and the tremendous power it would take to wrench a star like that around. It’s [a list of folks]…not Einstein.” For once, I’m not joking. The latest radio telescope data has revealed these galactic center structures emit multiple plasma jets, EM radiation (gamma and x ray) as well as visible light. The mathematical creation of dark matter to salvage this idea has no scientific, experimental or observational support. Fraser……..rather than regurgitate preposterous concepts that have no scientific basis perhaps you might consider some theories that have observational validity and are experimentally verifiable. The conservation of energy is maintained by the emission of light or other frequencies of EM radiation depending on the shell transition by the electron. It’s important to ignore these magnetic fields, the electric currents that cause them and the underlying plasma morphology of which they consist. Well, fine, with my eternal robot body, it might still be my problem. Chad Weber – [email protected], Support Universe Today podcasts with Fraser Cain. Small black holes (smaller than we believe currently exist) would theoretically evaporate very fast, eventually explosively. Did Cirrus Clouds Help Keep Early Mars Warm & Wet? 00:41:10 Why is it a good year for comets? The black hole at the center of the Milky Way is 26,000 light-years away. Is the supermassive black hole going to consume the Milky Way? all plasmas will eventually condense due to the effects of relative motion, and the net positive charge of the ionized atom recapturing the electron(s). I’m ready for my singularity, Dr. Kurzweil. And as we speak, it’s in the process of tearing apart entire stars and star systems, occasionally consuming them, adding to its mass like a voracious shark. 00:37:31 Is Andromeda more massive? Co-author Magda Guglielmo from the University of Sydney said: "These results dramatically change our understanding of the Milky Way. That’s a 1 followed by 100 zeroes years. Undoubtedly, something this massive, yet tiny with respect to its mass, can only be a black hole – a supermassive black hole. There’s a black hole at the center of the Milky Way.
