there was a great program on TV, on the BBC, about stars, how they
form, how they die,and all that they do. I always find it interesting
when they show the historical parts, of how 'current thinking' has
changed so much over the years, it makes me wonder what a similar
program made in 50 years time would make of today's 'current thinking'.
From
what i understand, as we theorize it today a sol sized star, when it
dies releases oxygen and carbon into the universe, bigger stars are
energetic enough to be able create through nuclear fusion a wider range
of elements. Really huge stars ones that are so big that when they
explode they collapse in so much that they do not leave a cinder of
their remains in the form of a red dwarf, or a super dense pulsating
neutron star, the really huge ones collapse in to create a black hole.
and it is there our current understanding goes all vague as no
information about black holes is able to pass beyond the event horizon,
the black hole has such a powerful pull it sucks in everything around
it, including light.
So, these really huge stars that
are big enough to create all the elements, when they get 'too big' they
end up collapsing in to form a black hole. One wonders whether much of
the newly created elements and other matter are sucked back into the
black hole.
Where does it go? is it spewed out the
other side to create a new universe or galaxy or star, or an
anti-universe, galaxy or star? Perhaps a consequence of being pulled
through a black hole is to create 'anti' versions of all that is pulled
through. That would lead to the thought that our universe could be
littered with 'anti' stars, solar systems and planets.
But
what about that when anti matter comes into contact with matter the
result is annihilation? Well one thought could be that as black holes
also appear to mess with time as well as space, well perhaps what comes
out the other side is also anti-time or some 'other' sort of time/space,
one that does not interact in any way with our time/space. Dark Matter?
