<p>Welcome to SDC Dr. Jeckyl! Just as a tip, this question would actually have been better placed over in the space science and astronomy forum. Well, since it's a question it'd probably be best in "Ask the Astronomer". However, it does fit here sorta, so no harm no foul.</p><p>You've just asked what appears to be the question of the month, and we actually have several discussions on this topic. I'll leave it up to you to fish them out, though they should be easy to find in the two astronomy forums (listed above).</p><p> </p><p>You already hit upon the general answer in your post. The ejected matter hasn't actually crossed the event horizon, so it hasn't passed the point of no return, the point at which escape requires faster than light speeds. The matter present in polar jets are near misses, that use the magnetic field and the rotation of the black hole to gain enough energy to escape via a near miss (think a space-craft slingshot maneuver). The magnetic fields then focus most of the matter into into collimated beams/jets along the poles of the magnetic field, instead of just spraying it out in all directions. </p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p align="center"><font color="#c0c0c0"><br /></font></p><p align="center"><font color="#999999"><em><font size="1">--------</font></em></font><font color="#999999"><em><font size="1">--------</font></em></font><font color="#999999"><em><font size="1">----</font></em></font><font color="#666699">SaiphMOD@gmail.com </font><font color="#999999"><em><font size="1">-------------------</font></em></font></p><p><font color="#999999"><em><font size="1">"This is my Timey Wimey Detector.

From the the link:</p><p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial">"The "kick" the black hole receives is akin to the recoil of a rifle. It can propel the black hole to speeds of up to several thousand kilometers per second, according theoretical simulations. The escaping black hole Komossa and her team observed was racing along at 5,900,000 mph (2,650 kilometers per second)."</span> </p><p> </p><p>I know the matter in the galaxy is dispersed enough that the black hole probably won't distrupt it too much, but imagine that much mass 'plowing' through at those speeds (i'm assuming the speed is relative to the center of the galaxy). That's nearly 1% the speed of light. The energies involved there have to be, well.... astronomical <img src="http://sitelife.space.com/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif" border="0" alt="Laughing" title="Laughing" />.</p><p>Rogue supermassive black holes... what a concept! </p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <div> </div><br /><div><span style="color:#0000ff" class="Apple-style-span">"If something's hard to do, then it's not worth doing." - Homer Simpson</span></div> </div>
<p><BR/>Replying to:<BR/><DIV CLASS='Discussion_PostQuote'>Is it theoretically possible that at some stage in the distant future all matter will be concentrated into very massive black holes?<br /> Posted by DrJeckyl</DIV></p><p> </p><p>Not likely. Black holes don't suck. They affect surrounding space like any other object with mass. Objects orbiting around a black hole follow the same laws of gravity as the Earth orbiting the Sun. Unless a force acts upon an object that is in a stable orbit about a black hole, it will simply remain in orbit. If the Sun instantly turned into a black hole (ignoring all know physics, of course), the Earth's orbit would remain unchanged as our distance from the center of mass would remain unchanged. The gravitational force follows the inverse square law no matter what the object is. </p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <div> </div><br /><div><span style="color:#0000ff" class="Apple-style-span">"If something's hard to do, then it's not worth doing." - Homer Simpson</span></div> </div>

So far as I know, not only has no one ever detected a graviton, there is no established theory of quantum gravity to provide a description of what to look for. I am also unaware of any production of a black hole in any experiment every conducted by man. I would be extremely in seeing evidence to the contrary -- it would be really exciting physics.<br /></p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
<p>Where to begin... </p><p>First, welcome to the boards!!! </p><p> </p><p><strong>"Well, I don't really know a lot about this perticular Subject of black holes."</strong> </p><p>Your local library, google and, of course, these forums are generally good places to start some semblance of understanding, but make sure you're capable of discerning the wheat from the chaff. </p><p><strong>"One thing I do know is that Stephen Hawkings proved that black holes release a partictle at random times. It has to do with Quantum Mechanics."</strong></p><p>Stephen Hawking (no 's') has proposed a theory that emits radiation known, oddly enough, as Hawking Radiation. This theory has not been tested, so it can not be said to be proven true or false. The basic principle behind it involves quantum fluctuations of a vacuum in which virtual particles are allowed to briefly exist, borrowing energy from the system which temporarily violates the 1st law of thermodynamics. Normally, these particle/anti-particle pairs quickly annihilate each other and return the energy of the system to its original state so physicists and cosmologists can relax. </p><p>Near the event horizon of a black hole, however, there may be enough energy to separate the 2 before they annihilate. One particle is ejected and becomes a 'real' particle... the other falls into the black hole. The 1st law of thermodynamics dictate that the energy can not be created or destroyed. Since these particles were a random fluctuation allowed by the Hiesenberg Uncertainty Principle and added energy/mass to the system 'out of nothing', the black hole that absorbed the virtual particle is now forced to compensate for that energy by 'shrinking' for lack of a better term. Since neither particle originated inside the black hole, it doesn't actually lose mass, rather it returns the mass that the vaccuum borrowed.</p><p>To an outside observer, it appears as if that particle was ejected from the black hole. </p><p><strong>"The math behind it is extremely difficult."</strong></p><p>That's an understatement <img src="http://sitelife.space.com/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-smile.gif" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" />. </p><p> </p><p><strong>"Also, Humans have created a black hole here on the earth in the Bern Accelerator in France/Belgium. They accelerated two protons as super high speeds."</strong></p><p>No such thing has happened yet at C.E.R.N. CERN is an organization that operates the LHC (Large Hadron Collider). It is theoretically possilble that the accelerator may be able to create enough energy for this to happen, but it remains to be seen. They haven't even turned the behemoth on yet. I believe, last time I checked, the schedule start date to hit the big green button is May 21. No results will be seen for at least a month or so. Apparently it takes a whille to impart enough energy into these particle to make the collisions worthy of the 6 billion they spent building it. </p><p><strong>"The effect was a realase of Gravitons (the gravitational particle) which created a black hole." The black hole then release a proton one trillionth of a second later and the black hole 'dispersed'."</strong></p><p>Gravitons are a hypothetical particle said to be a force carrier similar to the photon. There is zero evidence, physical or observational, to elevate them into a theory and eventual incorporation into the Standard Model of particle physics. They may or may not exist. I don't believe we have the tools yet to detect gravitons should they exist... and we may never. </p><p> </p><p>Hope that helped <img src="http://sitelife.space.com/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-wink.gif" border="0" alt="Wink" title="Wink" />. Feel free to snoop around and ask questions. The folks around here are quite helpful. </p><p> </p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <div> </div><br /><div><span style="color:#0000ff" class="Apple-style-span">"If something's hard to do, then it's not worth doing." - Homer Simpson</span></div> </div>
