Today's Thought Experiment (physics)

[Times Roman]

It's amazing some of the weird sh1t I think about moments before falling asleep at night. So last night was no different, and I began to ponder this:

We all know what a black hole is, right? Concentrations of regular matter so massive and dense that it's own weight exceeds the repelling ability of the strong nuclear force, creating a situation where a collapse takes place, resulting in a singularity. the size of the singularity is aproximately one Planck length, or equal to 1.616199(97)×10−35 metres. It is NOT "infinitely" small!

Ignore the idea for now that the idea of quark stars is building steam, requiring a new force we do not understand at the moment, so the the steps to becoming a black hole are thusly:

Stellar Mass (star)
nova
neutron star
quark star - ?
singularity

OK, i blew it.

I was going to say something about dark energy eminating from dark matter, but now that i've woke up, I remembered the two are independent of one another. the idea was to funnel massive amounts of dark matter into a black hole and see what happens, since, I was thinking, dark energy, being repulsive, would provide an interesting phenomenon.

I do know that the concepts of dark matter are pretty dicey (it began as a plug number to explain the rate of expansion and the ensuing gravitional effects we observe in the universe), and dark energy is even worse, as there is little evidence. In fact, the once powerful idea of the cosmological constant proposed by einstein, is now being resurrected to help explain this theory of dark energy.

Anyways, I'll try to come up with a better thought experiment next time.

I wish I could understand any of this lol

isnt dark matter really heavy??

What would happen to a 20ml vial of vet grade stanazol if it approached a black hole while travailing faster than the speed of light? Keep in mind the vial is out of date.

As we pass through the vortex of dark matter we are transformed into huge evil muscle gods and take over the earth.......

Yo 405 either you or your AVi seem to be getting huge, maybe both?

no one knows, but in theory, it is suppposed to comprise a substantial portion of all matter in the universe.

thx pal! im trying.. (as are we all )

the only reason i even know it exists (other than ur post) is a buddy of mine is one of those dorky guys who knows a whole lot of facts and loves to talk and he told me like a spoonful of dark matter would weigh like billions of pounds or something like that..

ummm....

....that would be true if he were talking about matter from a neutron star or a "dark" star

maybe.. as u know im no scientist.. i just take the Lords word for it!
