  • Consider this fact, some light waves like radio are large enough that a lot of matter is essentially invisible to their propagation; the radio waves just pass right by without any interactions. This becomes a similar problem when we try and measure such small quantum phenomena like zero-point energy. The quantum energy could be so small that they’re invisible to our detectors, but are in fact still there - the two scales simple cannot interact in a measurable way. So, there’d like still be some quantum energy, just less and less until our detectors could not interact with the incredibly small quanta for measurement.






  • I’ve been studying the range of neutron stars for some time and I feel confident it won’t be too long until much of our evidence and observations will show that black holes, quasars, super massive black holes and the range of other black holes are very likely, more extreme neutron stars - if not quark-like stars or stellar quantum-like objects. For fun, I’ve been also been focusing on colloids, extreme condensates and their quantum/relativistic phases/states; very revealing interactions and emergent properties. Now if we could just better observe zero-point energy…



  • Do not that this video seriously as to what it will likely look like. Keep in mind that as our sun grows into a red giant it would already be releasing extremely lethal solar flares. The inner planets being consumed by the sun would only come long, long after cooking them. Gravity would also be interesting at this point because the sun would have less mass. This video seems to take a lot of liberties as to how the physics of transitioning into a red giant would play out.
















  • Everyone’s knowledge obviously varies so I won’t assume yours, but I’d invite you to closely study stars that form into neutron stars and then study neutron stars until you have a very good understanding of their evolution; I found them to be more interesting than black holes and one of the most extreme and large objects where a lot of quantum mechanics is needed to best understand them. In this process you’ll learn about neutron star’s various but inevitable transformations. And the more you learn about them, the more you’ll understand black holes and the unanswered questions about them.

    All of that said, here are two fun questions to consider in trying to answer your question:


    Math is an extremely powerful tool but as we’re unable to know the limits of physics within a black hole, this leaves us able to play with mathematical theories and often allows for infinities to arise - to renormalize or not to renormalize, that is the question? So then you must ask yourself where you want to draw the line: in what can be observed (including what neutron stars reveal about extreme gravitational bodies), or add the mathematical theories that can explain the internal workings of a black hole? Sure, I’ll take interest in the latter but always remember it’s just a mathematical theory and continue to have an open mind to new discoveries…
