Anton has one of the best daily channels on YT. Watch almost everyone just b4 bed as his voice is calming me. Good dreams when I get his yt videos finished before I crash.😊

[thebestpalmer]

This channel is truly brilliant. I also love that there isn’t the constant background music that so many documentary style channels have these days

[chrisminshall]

I enjoy this channel, and the way that Anton explain's things. He does not over explain nor over simplify, he is a natural teacher and it shows in his presentation

[ÞäŘëďmïšť]

Anton, it’s my birthday today and all I want is for you to see me tell you that you are imho the most wonderful person for being a constant source of information in our science and physics through our journey in this cosmic dance. Thank you, sir.

[jackietreehorn]

Rock on Anton!
...as a man who loves to learn about space and sciences, I applaud you.
You are mighty, you are gracious, you are lauded.

From the paper “Self-Interacting Dark Matter Solves the Final Parsec Problem of Supermassive Black Hole Mergers”

The paper states:

“Here we show that DM friction drives the binary infall provided that the DM spike is able to absorb the frictional energy without being disrupted.”

“Researchers have proposed that, in the intermediate regime, when the black holes are about 0.3–3 light-years apart, the system could lose momentum through gravitational interactions with dark matter. They show that this can occur if the dark-matter particles can scatter off one another.”

→ Personally I find this interesting.

How in the heck do you find something interesting every day?!?

[gilbertorosales]

I watch Anton’s channel religiously before bed and anytime I have spare time. Thank you for the awesome content and presentations! ❤

[jimcurtis]

Wonderful as always Anton. Thank you. ✌️😎

[johnw]

Still the only science communicator I know that is always truthful about what's possible, likely, or simply silly.

I've never found something contridictory out after watching your breakdowns, and never feel lied to. Thanks, Anton, for being consistently honest & thorough

[jasonlow]

Thanks Anton ... These videos are fantastic.

[frequencytesla]

Awsome ! I like so much videos about blackholes🖤 Thank you 😃

[Demonic_Tang]

The surrounding gas in the core region of a galaxy, especially near a binary pair of blackholes, should provide sufficient turbulence and friction to solve the final parsec problem. I've not seen a single study consider the surrounding effects, just simulations of the physics the primary bodies are exhibiting. When considering magnetism and gravity working together to form a black hole, you might also want to consider how thag magnetism can overcome the stability at 3 light-years. I think dark matter is a rather cheap solution when we dont even know what it is or how it specifically behaves.
The accretion disk of a black hole is much larger than most sims show, and it would potential give the drag necessary to slow down the black holes and get them closer.

Anton is a super hero. Thank you for being, Anton.

[samael]

Han Solo laughs at the Final Parsec problem!😝🤣

[erininstereo]

Just as I hypothesized myself: black holes are going to be key in figuring out dark matter. Thanks for the vid! Keep up the good work! ❤

[Djt]

I think for the earlier universe, we should take into account the average temperature of dark matter as well. If that’s possible. It’s temperature relative to everything being closer together and its temperature in the center where these black holes are interacting.

[Galahad]

I'm glad you qualified the explanation at the end by saying this a hypothetical, based on what we know in July, 2024. I have to learn Einstein level tensors plus 100 years of theory, but this bringing in magnetism help, as my very preliminary argument from geometry suggests that the gravitational field near the event horizon goes asymptotically to zero at VERY close approach. Any of the other five (E-M strong, weak, dark gravity, dark energy) interactions/forces/fields could assist. Of course, large LIGO observations will break at least three branches of theories of everything, and then theoretical physicists will have some new data to explain.

[BobWidlefish]

Wow the electric universe people were right about black hole formation after all!

[tinygriffy]

So happy I found this channel, and if it was only for the incredible stock videos in the background ;)

FYI : water makes things wet !
