Collapsed Stars and the Nonexistence of Black Holes? | How the Universe Works | Science Channel

New discoveries are challenging everything we know about black holes, and astronomers are beginning to question if they even exist. The latest science tries to explain how they work and what they look like, despite the fact we've never actually seen one. #ScienceChannel #HowTheUniverseWorks

About How the Universe Works:
With a cast of experts and eye-popping CGI, we're looking under the celestial hood to tell the greatest story of all -- the story of where we and everything else came from.

Thanks for the super cloned matter, space travel awesome

[sonofgod]

I'm entering a black hole tonight, are you saying i can never leave?

[snowkracker]

I’ve actually seen a hairy black hole. I can confirm they do, in fact, exist.

[rickmagill]

Does anyone know exactly what episode this is?

[MrJLCharbonneau]

Spectral analysis of that radiation could show what elements it contained.

[tomholroyd]

I don't know what you call them but there are things that can rip stars apart

[Doyouhowdo]

Leading scientists on this is Terrence Howard lol

[Nolan]

Are the hairs just the stretched out matter frozen in time

What if the information is not lost. What if the heat radiation irradiating off the black hole is information broken down to its basic form.

[ThermalWorld_]

Basically black stars (black holes) emit heat, if this were true then pointing the James Webb telescope at them they would appear like shining stars on LWIR not black holes.
In my opinion this whole story about black holes is not convincing, maybe the gravity at the center of galaxies is just a concentrated point of gravity rather than a black hole with matter.

[brennenalexander]

How many exploding stars have we recorded?

[frenchcannuck]

What if a black hole gravitational force somehow break the atoms strong nuclear force. Could that brake everything down in a big soup that eventually evaporate.

[jeanniemarkech]

The "hairs" idea seems to fit with models of quantum field theory. Interesting.

[shaoorehsan]

blackhole evaporation is a highly misunderstood and unduly highly publicized unscientific idea. Even it is supposed to be true practically in remotest sense, it may take unimaginable period of time of almost googol years.
So, float an idea which is safest to be unpractical and hence unmeasurable.

[owentate]

I don't understand the confusion. If they're looking for "lost" information, they should just learn to read the thermal radiation.

[danacollier]

Wouldn't it be in the core since that's where is pulled to.

[rayrocher]

Sorry about info paradox, mirror particles, big theories cloned theories, tiny quarks

[Povasi]

Hairballs in space... Surely there's a better explanation...

[jamescox]

If we can measure them and we can seize him with telescopes, what are they Then

[samlazar]

Neutron stars Prion Stars etd do exist but the black hole how we envision it does not
