If it was only a supernova, what does that say about the potential consequences that Beetlejuice could have on our planet when it goes supernova? Does it change any of our expectations at all?
Could the "beam" of gamma rays been focused by passing around a black hole acting as a magnifying glass? and we just happened to be near the focal point.
Its not really nice news, because it means that all the hundred billion planets in a radius of 10 million lightyears were destroyed and if that explosion happens in our milky way then we can forget about our future either.
If photons converted to axions, what speed were the axions travelling? Over that distance, anything slower than the speed of light would mean they are still travelling here. So are axions capable of travelling at speed of light? Not possible. So I dont think it can be axions if they have mass, no matter how vanishingly small.
Do a video on the paper that came out recently, saying Dark Matter my be an illusion.
Thanos must have used the stones to destroy the stones…
There's definitely a "Strong CP problem" going on on this planet right now. 🤔🤦🏻♂️
When a gamma ray jet is directly aimed at you precisely, but from 2.5 billion light years away.
Assuming the axion theory was true, what caused the ultra high energy photons to turn into axions? And does it work with weaker gamna rays that we can produce? Would be cool if we could produce and detect axions by simply blasting gamma rays into some dense elements.
"…which should be impossible". What a strange way to say that our theories and/or models are wrong. I always find it curious the hubris so many have that our models are necessarily presumed correct, and any observation that defies them means the universe is wrong. cough It's not just astronomy, other disciplines have this problem too. Science would be a lot better off with a more humble approach, and the expectation that things are probably wrong and will likely have to be re-written at some point. And the opportunity to do so should be welcomed when it happens, not resisted. I know you are concerned about your research grants and what an invalidation of your life's work will mean to you personally, but please don't let your ego get in the way of progressing the entire human race.
Maybe it was just the overwhelming abundance of the river of gamma rays that shielded the inner flow from the starlight. You can't evaporate a river with a hair dryer!
Probably just Goku hitting a new level of super saiyan.
What if it wasn't really 2.4 billion light-years away?
These are very small but unavoidable extinction risks.. yet we have around us nuclear weapons, waiting for the co occurrence of 2 playground bullies..
sounds like another speculation
It is so sad. Good videos, but the guy mumbles
Thank you.
This is what happens when you leave a trainee to operate the Dyson sphere.
🎉🎉. were all parts of the universe
The universe is opaque to high energy photons, but could the sheer density of high energy photons produced in this event make a region that is opaque to the universe? Meaning that the cone of TeV photons in the event would itself be a barrier to the low energy photons that would normally interact with them, with the outer edge of photons ablating away while the center experiences significantly less photon flux than expected.
That's the worst and most misleading explanation of the strong CP problem I've heard 😂
It's certainly not about matter-anti-matter asymmetry
Nothing is more annoying than people having to make up something because they cant explain it. Like dark matter or axions 😂 perhaps the grb was just so powerful and concentrated that the photons were protected from losing energy. Like there is some interacrion between the particles, magnetic fields that protect or simply being so many particles that not all of them have interacted yet? I havent studied so have no idea but making up stuff is defenately not helpful 😂
typical Hollywood distraction
ugh NO i paid my taxes for UKRAINE.
thanks

So fascinating
How does one end up in the field that studies such complicated science? surely your life has to revolve around it somehow and be so driven to pursue knowledge stretching to the end of time. What a blessing those people exist in our world 🙏🏽
Imagine the absolute annihilation in that region of the universe… terrifying to think this snuffed out thousands or millions of (potential) worlds, even with it being such ancient light.
cool that one long standing mystery gathers some more evidence 🙂
Can you tell me the song/artist of the background music at the end?
I think until we have a better understanding of 1) Gravity + how its mediated 2) Time + how its mediated; we're not going to have more definitive answers about these sort of high-energy physics.
IF photon's v = c, how do you describe photon-photon coupling? Does it involve time-dilation, or not? Cuz IF you're not, then there's your issue.
Now I am afraid to check Sabine's video on this event …
Problens of explanations that claims photons turning into ghosts then back into photons is that this still doesn't proves that ghosts exists, literally or figuratively.
THE BOAT
In theory, those within the astronomy/cosmology community would have learned from the 'Vulcan must exist' fiasco when it came to predicting the orbit of Mercury. The object lesson that could have been learned clearly was not learned as evidenced by the nontheistic religious dogma of dark hokum. Giving a name to something does not mean that it exists in factual actuality. The 'it must exist otherwise our models don't predict empirical evidence' is a textbook case of the fallacy of informal logic known as reification. A model of X does not equate to the proof of existence of X. The inability of a model to predict empirical observation means that the model is inadequate (one should be accepting of a certain degree of uncertainty when it comes to actual science whilst leaving the complete determinism to theology). It does not mean that the fudge factor used to bring the model inline with observation is something that exists. For bonus points: consider that any actual detected 'dark matter particle' could not be 'dark matter,' by definition.
How about intergalactic electrons? Where the magnetic field is not strong, unlike the Bullet Cluster's 0.2 micro-Gauss, electrons escape ionized gas. Electrons are not heavy and are easily accelerated to relativistic velocities and escape the galactic pull to intergalactic space. By Occam's razor they are the reason why high energy photons can be reabsorbed and re-emitted at the TeV range.
Its honestly terrifying that something that far away can effect our planet. Makes you feel fragile.
If only we could find out, though, how to convert between the axion field and photon energy field, who knows what would be possible. Maybe transmission straight through the planet. Maybe a laser weapon that passes though allies and only hits the enemy ship.
One thing comes to mind on the 'imbalance' between matter and anti-matter…I wonder, when seen at cosmic distances, does anti-matter look any different from matter? The universe may be full of anti-matter…just in isolated clumps, that we can't tell isn't regular matter.
What if the supernova was 2.5 million light years away?
hey buddy hope all is well you seem tired, keep your head up 😀
The most powerful explosion in the universe is when my neighbour blast the fart…..there is no doubt at all that it has something to do with dark matter and I can say even whit antimatter.
Conclusion: more research is needed.
And 1year later….not axioms….
Now we going back to believing black matter ? Just a few weeks ago it was black matter my not even exist. Make your stupid minds up you dumb scientist or juts believe in God because clearly you know nothing but act like you know everything. That behavior is dumb .
A gamma ray burst directed towards Earth encounters an unstable star at the moment of supernova combining the 2 bursts towards Earth.
It probably caused some “dna bitflips” on earth too!
I AM Balungi Francis (Author) I was here this night
He needs to stop this foolery. This is a bunch of hogwash, and more and more scientists are beginning to rethink all of this nonsense.
