Ok /sci/ i have a question;

If no information can escape a black hole's event horizon, as space-time is distorted such that not even light can escape, how can gravitons escape? They must be able to as we can observe and measure a black hole's gravitational pull.

A black hole exists somewhere, right?
Information is a mathematical representation of stimuli, right?
A black hole isn't giving us any stimuli, because no information can escape it, right?
An idea is a type information, right?

the information that black holes exist comes when you see a star orbiting a fixed point in space, as if it was a binary star system, but only has one star. we know the "missing star" doesnt emit light but has enough mass to keep other stars in place.

gererally speaking though, if something is outside the event horizon of the black hole, it essentially doesnt recognize the black hole and acts as if its not there at all.

when you say "emits information" you are assuming that an emited information is either like a particle or a wave. information is neither.

We're saying the same thing. Black holes emit information about their existence.

Some Scientist that served in World War2 was doing calculations in between calculation the trajectory of artillery fire and theorised (by using Einstein's equations) that if an object had enough mass in a small enough space it would create a 'rip' in space time. These are now known as black holes

very vague description I know. However its all i can remember on the subject.

>> No.1792306

Black holes release huge amounts of energy when they swallow matter, and it had been thought that most of this emerged in the form of radiation. However, the new findings show that some black holes can release at least as much energy, and perhaps much more, in the form of collimated jets of fast moving particles.

black holes are still a pretty new, touchy subject, so the details are still being debated as new evidence is always being found.

Not trolling here but I thought gravitons, if they exist (I can't remember much about them), are supposed to be denser and more energized than a black hole or light and thus can escape the event horizon. Did I just pull that out of my ass or is that something like the theory on gravitons?

I think you should stop posting and review your understanding of the word "force" as it applies to particle physics. I understand you are eager to learn but you're just running around in circles because of this fundamental misunderstanding.

In relativity, gravitational "force" is just a distortion of spacetime. It requires a large amount of mass (or the equivalent amount of energy).

In quantum physics, no one has yet created a model of the particle which acts as the mediator of the phenomenon we call "force." Asking questions about it means you're not likely to get particularly intelligible answers. This is made worse by your understanding of the word "force" in this context.

Hawking Radiation, from what I understand tells about what falls in the black hole after it becomes a black hole but not the black hole itself. It is purely theoretical but nothing says it shouldn't exist.

It is stated that there are two opposing particles that come into existence everywhere in the universe (one being the anti of the other) but annihilate so soon after manifesting that they cannot be considered part of reality. However, the ones that occur near the event horizon may have one of the pair fall into the black hole without the other, allowing for one of the particles to basically appear as if it came from no where. This subtle but constant small form of radiation is what is known as Hawking Radiation, but none has been discovered as of yet. It is just predicted as a possible way of seeing black holes.

Also, gravitons haven't been discovered either but if they do exist they would not be radiating out of objects like photons do. Instead (correct me on this one if I'm wrong) it would seem like they would stretch out across the universe and pull among each other to create a vast three dimensional web or space-time fabric. At least, that's what I imagine a fundamental particle of the weak force of Gravity would be like.

>> No.1792825

>>1792810
Your main problem is thinking of the force as distinct from a particle. In particle physics forces basically *are* particle interactions. If something "feels" the electromagnetic force then that means it interacts with photons. In a sense, photons just are the electromagnetic force.

So it would be with gravitons. While some meaning can be given to the question "do gravitons feel gravity?" it is likely *not* the sense you're reaching for here.

>> No.1793032

Virtual particles are particles that exist for brief moments in time. If in that time they interact with something and gain energy they become real particles. An electron positron pair can spawn into existence randomly oriented, right on the edge of the event horizon. If both fall in the rate at which particles appear and disappear is equal so no real effect is noticed by the black hole. If the positron is pointed away from the black hole it may escape and the electron will be captured, thus causing the hole to have a negative charge, repulsing electrons more than positrons, encouraging more positrons to fall in. If the positron falls in rather than the electron then the total mass of the black hole will reduce due to electron positron annihilation. This is how black holes decay and put of radiation.
