Maybe the question is what are these central black holes of galaxies. Aren't they different from the more common black holes of dead stars?

A-wal Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) Aren't they different from the more common black holes of dead stars?No not really, they're just bigger. It's just that they tend to be a LOT bigger, big enough that tidal forces don't tear you apart before you get anywhere near it. The matter in the jets comes from the stuff around it and the jets themselves are electromagnetic. Edited March 21, 2019 by A-wal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least on my computer, your original post does not say "and the jets themselves are electromagnetic". All right. Just another mystery to be solved. But, for now, is the "stuff around it" still inside the black hole? I think I"ve fallen into my own deep hole. Let me see what Flummoxed has to say. Meanwhile, thank you.

hazelm Posted March 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 Matter and energy likely came from the Inflationary stage of the Big Bang https://counterbalance.org/cq-fab/abigb-frame.html?client=ctns2%C2%A0 This matter coalesced after it cooled a bit forming galaxies black holes etc. Inflation was the faster than light speed expansion of the early universe, that likely separated virtual particle pairs causing them to become real. A bit like the theoretical Hawking radiation around a black hole which separates virtual particles allowing them to become real. Oh, the energy came from the Big Bang. I'd not made the connection. Thanks and I'll read your link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-wal Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) But, for now, is the "stuff around it" still inside the black hole?No, definitely not. It's matter that fell towards the black hole and then got shot away in the jet before reaching the black hole. Oh, the energy came from the Big Bang. I'd not made the connection. Thanks and I'll read your link. Everything, all matter and energy supposedly came from the big bang.

Since the energy was inside the black hole (according to the article), I wondered where the matter was. And the force of the energy blasted the matter. Makes sense to me. I had read before that all matter and energy came from the big bang. Simply lost track of that. I need to spend more time with this and get it all tied together. Too much going on with my short days. And too many things grab my attention. <g> Thanks much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work done (which is mechanical energy) is force x distance gone under its influence. Something falling inward towards a massive object converts gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy, from which it can become converted into other forms such as heat and hence radiation. So yes energy is conserved and in this case it comes from gravitation. hazelm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hazelm Posted March 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 The only way energy can leave a Black hole is in the form of Gravitational waves, and perhaps Hawking radiation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawking_radiation 3 Solar Masses was lost recently when two Black Holes merged, this energy was in the form of gravitational waves which was detected by LIGOMost of the other effects of Black Holes are to do with the accretion disc around Black Holes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_holeIf the reporter chose the correct term (blasted), there must have been some other force within the hole to eject that energy and matter. "At the center of our galaxy an enormous black hole blasts out matter and energy."

Dubbelosix Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 yeah Hazel, this shouldn't be taken as meaning the energy comes from inside of it - there are some technical reasons why this will happen; it is widely thought the black hole gobbles a thing up fast, but the supermassive black hole spins so fast, only short of the speed of light, that things find it difficult to fall in, so they get ripped apart into a very dense sphere of energy that surrounds the black hole... and for other technical reasons, from time to time, short bursts from this energy source occur at the poles of the black hole. hazelm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazelm Posted March 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) Awal briefly answered your question here in his first post, his last sentence. The accretion disc around the black hole is most likely responsible for any matter being blasted away from a black hole. The Accretion disc around a black hole can generate magnetic fields due to it being a hot Plasma.

And the super-massive black hole at the center our the Milky Way acts in the same way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vmedvil2 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) Well, basically as Energy-mass falls into the Blackhole part of the Energy-mass gets ejected due to the spin because as dubbel said the speed of the spin is only slightly less than the speed of light thus the spin force throws it out due to pressure of the Energy-Mass plus the spin of the Blackhole, it is like swirl around a cup of water then when the water spills out the top. The spin causes the water level on the sides of the cup to rise and pressure to be put on the sides of the cup.

exchemist Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) Thanks for the review. I was wanting a farther back source but the review fits in. From Big Bang via gravity to black hole. Does that make sense? More or less, yes. By the way, thinking about this some more, I should add there are other ways for gravitational potential energy to be converted into electromagnetic radiation more directly, near the edge of a black hole. There is something called "synchrotron radiation", in which charged particles drawn in by gravity encounter a magnetic field from the black hole and are thereby caused to move in a circular trajectory. This causes them to emit EM radiation. This mechanism is in fact proposed for "jets" of EM radiation seen in astronomy.

hazelm Posted March 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Thanks to all of you. I have gotten behind this morning but just read this entire thread. I think I understand now. There was an interesting item at Science Daily this morning that I want to post when I get an instant. Reading this thread reminded me of it. Later.
