Trippy Scientific "Theories"

Some of these I don't really understand (specifically the last one..) But some of these I've heard of and they do blow my mind. But the black hole one I don't think we'll ever know because Humans would be pounded to spaghetti inside of a black hole lol.

 

We don't need to go to a black hole know what happens inside of it, much like we didn't have to attempt to land on the sun to know the processes that power stars and what they are made of. All that is needed to understand black holes really is a quantum theory of gravity.

 

Send a strong machine with a camera in a black hole

 

Not sure why it is believed a black hole would rip one to shreds. Before u get into a black hole that may occur but inside it shouldnt. From what i understand matter will have no interactions in a black hole. They will literally go right through each other. Kinda trippy in and of itself.

 

Didn't you answer your own question? If you are torn apart before entering would you not still be in pieces upon entering? The reason you would be ripped apart is due to the fact the at the center of the black hole is a singularity of near infinite mass but the gravity outside that point is significantly less. This leads to a stronger pull on your feet, assuming you enter feet first, than at your head thus stretching you.

I'm not where you heard that a black hole and matter simply pass through each other as that is definitely not the case.

 

Exactly. I didn't even say you would be ripped to shreds either. That's very different than basically becoming an atomic spaghetti as you go through a black hole.

 

I had hear that before and what you said was similar, apologies if you felt i mischaracterized what said in that regard. But you did say inside the black hole which was the minor point i was bringing up that might occur prior to entering. As i said i thought id read/heard there would be no particle interaction because they would have zero or less that zero mass while somehow retaining kinetic energy (hard to make sense of it). Apologies if i came across negatively.

 

Understandable dude, I didn't mean to come off pompous in anyway lol. I'm not an astronomer, I just like gazing at the stars.

 

Also, can someone please explain how the quantam zeno effect could lead to the end of the world? I don't understand how just looking at dark energy can cause the end of the world...

 

The quantum zeno effect boils down to the idea that measuring a particle quickly and often enough can stop it from moving. Since it is believed that dark energy is the driving force being the universe's expansion; if it were halted the universe should collapse in on itself. At least that's my interpretation.

 

But what I don't understand is, how can simply measuring it change the particles speed? I have a noob grasp/understanding of quantum physics. Is the process of measuring the particle changing it's structure in any way? (like the equipment they use to measure it changes the particle.)

 

First, I shouldn't have said the particles stop moving as that is not really what happens. From what I've read, the particle must exist in more than one form so basically it must be unstable. The act of measuring this unstable particle, which is generally done by firing photons at it, prevents it from jumping into it's other state which is supposed to prevent it from decaying. The measurement must be repeated extremely quickly and done until you decide to let it continue changing. So the structure of the particle doesn't change per se but it's energy state does.

Relating to dark matter I'm assuming that if we found out what it was and measured it on a large scale that might cause a change in it's energy thus leading to the collapse of the universe. But I really have no idea.
