What is the Mystery Object in the Milky Way? A Neutron Star or a Black Hole?

Показать описание

In this video, we explore the nature and significance of a new mystery object in the Milky Way that could be either the heaviest neutron star or the lightest black hole ever seen. This object was discovered by astronomers using a radio telescope in South Africa, and it is orbiting a rapidly spinning neutron star or pulsar in a cluster of stars. The mass of the object is between 2.09 and 2.71 solar masses, which is right in the lower mass gap, a range of masses where very few neutron stars or black holes have been detected. This gap is thought to be a result of the different ways that massive stars die and collapse, depending on their initial mass and composition. But the exact mechanism and the boundary between neutron stars and black holes are still unclear and debated. So, what is the mystery object? Is it a very heavy neutron star or a very light black hole? And why does it matter? Watch this video to find out.

A Pulser? Did you mean a Pulsar? LOL!!!

Incredible binary system, what a rare combination!
A question: Will the two eventually collide or continue their tandem journey as long as they exist?

stars can look and act so different. That make them very interesting to me.

Could it be 2 neutron stars in close orbit read as one source?

I love to learn about this kind of astronomy, it's not a repeat of another video, and it's exotic.🤓

The mystery object on a distance of 40.000 LJ could be something completely different, unlike anything everbefore observed !

seems a bit redundant to say it not only has neutrons but quarks and gluons, since neutrons are made of quarks and quarks are held together by gluons.

Scientists have no response for this observation. The speed of light C isn’t constant since the measures of time and distance aren’t constant over larger distances. It’s like changing from 60 kilometers an hour to 60 miles an hour increases your speed. Then if you go from 60 miles an hour to 60 miles a minute it increases your speed even more. This what is happening in general relativity when less gravity increases the measure of distance and speeds up the rate of time over large distances. It also means that the earth is younger than what they claim. The universe doesn’t care about how young the earth is.

Actually the changes in time and distance compound the changes in the speed of light. Do a thought experiment. Hold your hands a foot apart representing 186, 000 miles saying “one thousand and one” representing one second while pretending to see an imaginary photon going from one hand to the other. Now expand the distance saying “one thousand and one” as fast as you can. You should notice that the speed of the imaginary photon increases the farther away from the center of the galaxy it is.

This eliminates the need for dark matter because it makes everything move faster the less gravity there is. Dark energy isn’t needed it’s accumulation of the pull of gravity on the light that causes the redshift.

The unknown, greater-mass object, orbits the lower-mass neutron star? Better to state that they orbit a common center of mass.

Presumably, the greater-mass object formed before the pulsar. Could the greater-mass object have accumulated matter from the lower-mass star before it became a pulsar, to become that rare object?
