A kid in a candy store with your mother saying you can only pick three? How about if your mother gave you only, like, a dollar in change. Not a nice whole dollar, aka an across the board block grant, but only in change of nickels, dimes and pennies. Then said "buy whatever you can with this." But the next time you visited, your mom gave you a dime less than before. Or, while you were trying to pay, she took another nickel away from you. 😞 .... Except this analogy fails in that once you buy a piece of candy, it is yours and you have it. In the Space Program, you need to continually fund a project once you have gotten it started. Just building and launching Voyager I and II was the hardest part, BUT every year since then, that control center has needed staff people who need to be paid. And, specialists on translating the numeric data that comes back into those lovely pictures, and tech people to work on the probes to keep them running. Remember, Every year, they need to get the funding they _forecast_ they will need for the next year renewed. If some kind of complicated problem comes up during that time, and they don't have the right experts or equipment to repair it, Someone has to be laid off! And yet, NASA has to also ask for _even more_ money to start _New_ projects. ☹️ The people who grant that money are going to tell them "I was elected by people who want me to _cut_ their taxes! And, I just found out that the greatest federal expense is entitlement payouts, and I *Cannot* cut those! And, you want me to give you _more money_ for a project that will continue to drain funds out of the Federal Governments pockets, over the next several years? 😡

Question: Regarding the supposed singularities inside of black holes, could it be possible that black holes are not "collapsed" but are forever "collapsing"? With all the gravity crushing all of that space and more importantly time, could it form more of an asymptotic relationship? The crushing would further and further slow the time down so that a singularity is simply impossible to form in the same way anything with mass cannot reach the speed of light but only asymptotically approach it
@StarkRG

The models we have to describe how the Universe functions fail near a singularity. That's literally what "singularity" means, a place where math doesn't work. Like how 1/(x-4) doesn't work at x=4. They don't fail at the event horizon, but the various models diverge the closer you get. One model says the collapse takes infinite time, another says crossing the event horizon takes infinite time, another says neither is the case. Our models are incomplete and can't accurately describe what happens there.

Looking carefully at the two images with the "lost stars", there are two observations to be made. First, the "three lost stars" are by no means the only stars that are different between the images - there is also a quite obvious difference close to the right border of the images, around a third down from the top. So, not only these three stars are "affected". Second, the image showing the lost stars states RED in the upper right corner, while the other one states BLUE. This usually indicates that the images were taken through different filters. Back in the day this was often done to collect spectral properties (and/or to later create a composite color image). If an object emits only or mainly red light, it would only show up on the image taken through the red filter, and not in the one with the blue filter. This easily explains the difference between the images, with no space for mystery. The only mysterious thing that remains is why the experts did not address this easiest-of-all explanation...

@@MichaelLawler Being a scientist myself (although not in astrophysics), I looked a little bit into the matter, and indeed the images of the POSS-1 survey were taken in two different spectral regions, "red" and "blue". A relevant publication (Reid et al, 1991. The Second Palomar Sky Survey, PASP 103:661-667) says this about the earlier POSS I project: "Eastman Kodak type-103a emulsions were used for both red and blue plates of the POSS I, with the blue plates being unfiltered 103a-O and the red plates combining 103a-E emulsion with a red plexiglass 2444 filter. The resultant spectral response functions (see MA63) give effective wavelengths of ~ 4100 À in the blue (with a passband of ~ 1100Ă) and ~ 6500 A in the red (passband ~ 500 A).". So, the "blue" image shows objects emitting light between around 355nm and 465nm, the "red" images show objects emitting between 625 and 675nm. Having this out of the way, the questions that remain are (1) why does no one of the science communicators get this straight, but talk about a "mystery" of stars disappearing within minutes in 1952, and (2) what does the POSS II images of the regions look like, or other new images of these fields in difference spectral regions? As to (1), it is important to point out that these stars did NOT "disappear within minutes", but they were not recorded on the "blue" plate because the did not emit blue light. Or in other words, had the "red" and "blue" plates been taken in reverse order, would the people be puzzled about the "mystery" of stars "appearing within minutes"???

Hello Fraser, I have never understood the concept that a star in its red giant phase loses its outer layers before becoming a white dwarf. Surely the mass of the star has the same huge combined gravity that it has always had, so what is the mechanism that allows it to just lose a huge amount of its mass to space, and what proportion is lost?
@Yutani_Crayven

Same gravity, but two factors play into it, if I was to venture a guess. One, the radiation pressure of the star increases due to the elements being fused gradually changing. Second, the stars are super puffed up. An Earth-mass black hole will have much stronger gravity than an Earth-mass Earth, because the mass is more concentrated. As with all forces, gravity falls off with distance.

The orbit is the same because *THE GRAVITY* IS THE SAME!!!@@Yutani_Crayven

What's up frasier, to answer your question at 21 minutes 26 seconds about the crunched up planets with water forming a disc around a white dwarf, I don't think that's necessary good or bad news for us, I do however think it helps to substantiate a theory about the Fermi paradox, being that there is other life in this universe than us that is potentially on level with, or or well beyond our capabilities, but that type of Life likely exists at different times within the universe. Meaning that there's a potential that some of that crushed up wet material around that white dwarf may have been something very similar to Earth, with beings living on it very similar to us, but billions of years ago before earth, or the star that it rotates around formed. Just some food for thought, Good vid👍

that stars apper and disapper make perfect sense in the electric universe model. when powerful ion storms comes and goes they would lid up dim stars periodically. everytime the storms relaxe the stars disappear and everytime the storms are active the star appears. its electrciity in space that make stars appear and disapper. its electrcity in space that makes stars pulsate.

I suspect that the three disappearing stars were actually one star image as seen through a poorly aligned gravitational lens that went completely out of alignment and permitted the image to no longer be seen from our angle of view. The lens moved and no longer gave us our momentary view. Gravitational lens are known to make multiple images of one object. The star(s) that we saw in the first image was actually far behind the location where the image of it made it seem to be. The lens magnified it and made it appear closer. The actual star would appear far distant and very small without the lens magnification.

The further light has to travel, the more energy it loses. This loss is first shown as a red shift in the visible spectrum. If the light is even older, the shift is further into the microwave range. Even further, the shift is to an invisible section. We need more sensitive instruments tuned to those frequencies / wavelengths to be able to see the "light"?

The first time I became aware of stars disappearing, it was in a novel by Peter Hamilton which occurred because a barrier was placed over a star that existed many light years away.

Was there only one image ever made of the three stars before they disappeared? Are there no previous pictures of this three-star grouping or images of the area where the stars seem to disappear other than the two we've seen?

That's because those weren't stars, but the same 'lights' that appeared in Washington D.C. a few days later, from July 12th to 29th of 1952, including the famous flight over the Capitol...

I've read a sci-fi story where the vacuum decay actually spread at c/2 rather than c, so you could see it as an expanding void.

A much simpler explanation would be that a dark object moved in front of them. However, I see more stars in the image disappearing. What about those?

Maybe someone has been taking us through different parallel timelines and we just didn't realize it. It would explain all of the crazy changes mankind is going through so quickly. Maybe we're constantly shifting in and out of different parallel universities.

How long were those three "stars" there before? I'm not convinced it wasn't some flaw in the photography in the 1952 photographic equipment.
