Neil deGrasse Tyson On White Holes 🤯

[DereksThoughts]

If Neil asked me if I wanted to do basic math I’d probably have a panic attack and forget how to do anything

[gmar]

“Let me test your 9th grade knowledge”

Me: *visibly sweating* please don’t.

[mrgene]

Neil: What’s the square root of 9
Me: triangle

The idea of the opposite version of a black hole, having the property of just outputting matter and energy, borders on the unfathomable to me. God, science is so cool

[alexrog]

There is no guarantee that white holes can be observed, or that they are restricted to the way we perceive time

[ponkumaran]

Neil: what's the square root of 9
Me: (Oh shit) 27. WAIT WAIT, 81.

Neils Bohr, Danish Physisit, peer of Eistein, famously said, "the opposite of a truth is a falshood...but the opposite of a profound truth can be another profound truth". I LIVE BY THIS WISDOM.

If Neil asked me to do that math, I’d grab a calculator, because I know my brain will say some weird things

My crazy theory is that black holes are actually supposed to explode the instant they exist because of the Pauli exclusion principle but because of either the time warping affects caused by the density of the singularity or the strength of gravity itself prevent a rebounding explosion from being observed in the universe it was created, but because the universe is constant and must always balance outcomes what really happens is a whitehole forms on the "other side" so to say of the blackhole as some sort of extra-dimensional spacetime bubble, it expels all of whatever it gobbled up in the collapse as the most elementary form.

Like before even matter and antimatter splits elementary, like a mega superblender, like if you have a string in tension and call it a cross section of 2-d spacetime and pinch two adjacent points together the string forms a loop in a new dimension with an isolated tension. But what is the only example we have of a whitehole, as something that expels everything and lets nothing travel into it? It is the big bang.

Now there has always been a problem of how antimatter and matter became unbalanced because theory says it must be created in equal amounts and that they should've completely annihilated each other after creation and also that if matter experiences forces that pulls matter together anti matter experiences forces that push it apart, known as gravity and antigravity respectively.

My theory as to why we have matter at all is that blackholes concentrate matter like micelles of oil in water, so think about if in the original "layer" of universes, it IS balanced, so nothing exists but time, but because time is infinite the probability of everything becomes infinite, and because we know virtual antimatter-matter pairs pop in and out of existence all the time, and because ONLY matter clumps, given infinite time, the infinitely unlikely event of enough matter virtual particles coming together in the same space at the same time to form a singularity will occur eventually, and once that happens a whitehole forms a new universe bubble on a deeper dimension and spits out all the elementary particles, but in the new universe there's slightly more matter than antimatter than in the last layer is transferred to the new universe because antimatter resists the compactive forces of gravity, so each universe has a larger proportion of matter that survives the annihilation event, which leads to matter compacting even easier and creating more blackholes which create more universes with even more concentrated matter.

I believe that virtual particles would be able to create a singularity because in the first layer of universes, our imagined string would be completely straight with no loops or anything so it doesn't take much to form a loop, but as loops are added upon loops, lets say superloops, the tension within each subsequent loops gets higher, requiring denser and denser singularities to form blackholes, and that is how the gravitational constant comes about, as a quantity that describes how matter bends the spacetime fabric aka our little string. And we know singularities don't have to be infinitely small, its only required to be the Schwarzschild radius which only depends on M and G so i believe black holes can be created until the Schwarzschild radius equals than the planck length so we've got some way to go before the cap is hit.

Anyway if this makes no sense I spent way too long scrolling up and down in my phones text box just typing the thing so I probably missed every grammar error imaginable 🤷. I'm not a proper scientist by any degree but no one can really say what truly goes on as of yet so bite me lmao. Lmk if this resonates with you or have any additional things to tie in to my ramblings 😅

Edits for spelling and breaking up paragraphs

The sqrt of 9 is not negative 3, and only gives us the positive solution because when doing an operation we would like to have only one solution. However, when doing x^2=9, we get x=3, -3
We only get the negative branch when taking sqrt of both sides, not when performing the operation

[DullFiction]

Imagine if all black holes link back to the big bang.
The universe just cannibalizing itself - to create itself. Like the ouroboros symbol.
Probably not, but it sounded cool in my head.

"let me test your grade 9 math"
*me who dropped out in grade 9:* 😢

[ikuep]

"Woah" in Keanu Reeves voice

[johnsmithx]

*Neil: "What's the square root of 9"*
Me: "Potato"

He may not always be likeable, but he's so damned smart and thought-provoking.

[darknexxenby]

the game "outer wilds" explores this theory a lot. theres an alien species that harnesses black holes and white holes to make warp tech and energy generators. its a great game, would recommend

[irishnomad]

Can you imagine if we sent a probe in a black hole...and then we got a radio response from the other side of the universe a thousand years from now?

[TrappedinaBrain]

A region of space that is impossible to enter is somehow far more terrifying to me than a region you can't escape

[munkee]

I contemplated about this one time as a teenager in the 80's after smoking cannabis. I never knew science already explored it. The internet is fantastic.

[chrisreed]

Still doing my head in all these years later.
