Black hole hurtling through space leaves a trail of stars in its wake

Misnamed “Black holes” are really not holes, but the super-dense nuclei of galaxies. As with most vortices, the center of a galaxy tends to become dense as the remains of ancient stars are pushed therein by gravitation, generally aided by rotation. In other words, black holes are where stars are pushed as they lose momentum during inevitable collisions with their macrocosm.

 

Lately, there have been numerous discoveries of “naked black holes” that are so ancient that they presumably have swallowed all their stars. The Milky Way has only about 1% of its mass in its nucleus, so don’t worry, it will take probably trillions of years before the Milky Way meets its engorged end state.

 

Now, this article by Will Sullivan in the Smithsonian Magazine reviews the recent discovery of a naked black hole that presumably was ejected from its galaxy by a collision with yet another black hole.

 

“In its wake, the black hole left behind a trail of young, hot blue stars birthed from gas. ‘Gas in front of [the black hole] gets shocked because of this supersonic, very high-velocity impact of the black hole moving through the gas. How it works exactly is not really known,’ van Dokkum [co-author of study] says in the statement.”

 

I find it interesting that these mainstream researchers hypothesize that gas existing in front of the black hole contributes to star formation. Looks like Einstein’s perfectly empty space necessary for his particle theory of light is still to be found anywhere. Do you think light traveling through that stuff might lose energy over distance? 

Thanks to Roger Tobie for his questions:

“Eh? Who or what sends the stars to die? Sounds very melodramatic And having gone into a black hole is the matter of the stars lost forever? Or are you just poking fun at the whole concept? From the way your blurb is written I can’t tell for sure.”

[GB: Let me break it down:]

“Eh? Who or what sends the stars to die?”

[GB: You got me. At first I was going to use the old teleology “where stars go to die,” but thought better of it. Obviously, the “sends” wasn’t much better. Per Newton’s First Law of Motion (as I modified it in tune with Infinite Universe Theory) all inertial objects stay in motion “until” they collide with other things. The “sent” was my way of emphasizing that gravitation was a push, not a pull, as assumed by regressive physics (see Borchardt, Glenn, 2018, The Physical Cause of Gravitation: viXra:1806.0165). Per your implication, I have now changed the semi-teleological “sent” to an explicit “push.”]

“Sounds very melodramatic And having gone into a black hole is the matter of the stars lost forever?”

[GB: Of course not. Remember our Fifth Assumption of Science, conservation (Matter and the motion of matter can be neither created nor destroyed) and the Fourth Assumption of Science, inseparability (Just as there is no motion without matter, so there is no matter without motion) does not allow that. Also, per the Sixth Assumption of Science, complementarity (All things are subject to divergence and convergence from other things). I wrote about the ultimate demise of black holes here.]

“Or are you just poking fun at the whole concept? From the way your blurb is written I can’t tell for sure.”

[GB: Not really, only about the “black” and the “hole” part. Remember that even Hawking finally admitted they had to be gray, not black. That implies black holes lose some of their internal motion via transfer to the surrounding aether.
