the no longer useful thread got me thinking

[yoyo]

what about a black hole
where do the energy it eat go?

another universe?

the bigbang mite be the energy from a blackhole in other universe

Howdy,

Black holes are just stars, but the emit a wavelength of light that is far out of the visible spectrum.  Astronomers use the X-Ray telescopes to "view" a black hole.  The energy level that the "black hole" emits is higher than a normal visible star.

OK, try this one.  Our solar system is pregnant.  It is fixing to give birth to a baby star system.  How is that for way out there.  I don't know who the father is.  Jupiter is supposedly going to "ignite" and become a star.  Jupiter already has 4 planet sized moons, and another 59 dwarf moons.  So, upon ignition the Jupiter Star system already has four planets.  The increased energy from the ignition will cause the Jupiter Star System to slowly push itself out of the Sol Star System (our solar system).  As it is pushing itself away the orbits of its 4 planets will expand, and the dwarf moons will be attracted into the orbits of Jupiter's planets.  It could also snag some of Sols planets on its journey away from Sol.

So from a macrocosmic view this is cell division.  This one star system is diving into two star systems.  I guess you could call it asexual reproduction.   Things happening on the macrocosmic scale take a long time relative to us microbeings.  God sees this in a microscope and it takes a few seconds relative to His perspective.  We have the opposite vantage point, looking at the same thing through a telescope, and it takes millions of years.

Dude, please stop making up stuff.

Black holes are not "just stars" which emit a different light.  Black holes are imploded stars which emit nothing, as far as we know.  Maybe someday we will discover if they emit something, but no, we are not catching their X-Rays.  We know about black holes because of the effect they have on light and objects around them.

Second, no, Jupiter is not going to become another sun.  It is simply not large enough to sustain an ongoing fusion reaction.  Jupiter does have an ample supply of hydrogen, but that alone is not enough.

What happens with stars is they are so massive that the pressure at the core is sufficient enough to fuse light elements into heavier ones.  For example, in the case of our Sun, hydrogen fuses into helium.  But below certain temperatures and pressures, the fusion reaction will not be able to continue, and the object will never become a star.

It is generally accepted through theory and observations that it takes about 0.08 of our Sun's mass for an object to be able to sustain fusion.  Jupiter is about 0.001 of the sun's mass, so to be a star, it would need to be 80 times larger.

Has anybody ever seen the structure of a atom.  It look like a small universe.

No, it doesn't.
