Astronomers have found up to 35 black holes in Andromeda galaxy - Polidicks

[quote](CNN) -- You're in no danger of falling in, but a large group of possible cosmic vacuum cleaners have just been identified. Researchers have come upon 26 possible black holes in Andromeda, a galaxy near our own. This is the largest number of possible black holes found in a galaxy outside the Milky Way, but that may be because of Andromeda's relative proximity to our galaxy. It's probably easiest for Earth-based scientists to find black holes outside the Milky Way there, said Robin Barnard of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Combining this discovery with previous observations of nine other black hole candidates, scientists can say that Andromeda has a total of 35 possible black holes. The research is published in The Astrophysical Journal. NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory made more than 150 observations over the course of 13 years to identify these black hole candidates. Seven of the new potential Andromeda black holes reside within 1,000 light years of the center of that galaxy. This supports earlier research showing that, near the center of Andromeda, there are an unusual number of X-ray sources.[/quote] [url]http://www.cnn.com/2013/06/14/tech/innovation/black-holes?hpt=us_bn1[/url]

these both terrify and interest me to no end.

[QUOTE=ZakkShock;41244148]these both terrify and interest me to no end.[/QUOTE] I was actually thinking about Black holes last night at 4am. I think i was just overly tired, but it was blowing my mind.

That must be pretty intense and accurate measurements to identify 35 black holes in a galaxy several million light years away.

black holes suck

[QUOTE=Funion;41244224]black holes suck[/QUOTE] So much your dick becomes spaghetti.

Terms like "cosmic vacuum cleaners" that always get applied to black holes are so misleading. Like that that Doctor Who episode where David Tennant is like "WE CAN'T POSSIBLY BE ORBITING A BLACK HOLE, THEY SUCK EVERYTHING UP!"

Where are the white holes at?

Does anybody know what happens when black holes collide? I mean, I've studied the science of them, and know the dynamics, (or at least as much as everybody else does), but it doesn't make sense to say that the one with the more mass would suck up the other, considerimg they both have enough mass, desity, and gravity to suck up light itself. Although, come to think of it, NOTHING makes sense with blackholes. Everything in physics goes down the fucking toilet when they're applied to them. That's why they're so interesting.

That's why they're so interesting.[/QUOTE] Yes, we have an idea of what happens when black holes collide. They combine into a bigger black hole. Once they've got one big event horizon, they go through a process called ringdown where they radiate away a bunch of gravitational waves to smooth out irregularities in the event horizon. Then they're a nice normal-looking black hole like you might find in your local supermarket. [editline]29th June 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Blazyd;41245040]White holes are actually a thing[/QUOTE] Maybe. They're likely unstable. Unstable enough that we probably can't really find them in nature if they do exist.

What if all the black holes slowly pull eachother together into one super black hole which pulls in the universe, accelerating as it pulls more in, until eventually the entire universe is the size of a pinhead. and it then gets so closely compacted that the force pushing the atoms apart from eachother is greater than the gravity of it all and big bang #n+1

what would a white hole even be a... negative amount of stuff in a single point?

johnny get your butt back in here and explain white holes

[QUOTE=Zeke129;41245513]johnny get your butt back in here and explain white holes[/QUOTE] It looks like a time-reversed black hole, i.e. stuff can come out of the event horizon but nothing can reach the event horizon from the outside.

What if we're inside a hollowed out black hole that's shrinking. [img]http://www.pitt.edu/~jdnorton/teaching/HPS_0410/chapters/spacetime/collapsing_light.gif[/img] Would such a thing be possible?

Am I right in saying black holes are basically negative reality, at least to an extent?

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;41245763]It looks like a time-reversed black hole, i.e. stuff can come out of the event horizon but nothing can reach the event horizon from the outside.[/QUOTE] Basically an exit where as a black hole is an entrance, so to speak?

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;41245763]It looks like a time-reversed black hole, i.e. stuff can come out of the event horizon but nothing can reach the event horizon from the outside.[/QUOTE] would this also apply to the gravitational force that surrounding objects are affected by would it be reversed?
