Science anyone?

"So, Black Holes may, in fact, have been and continue to be essential to Galactic Evolution! Having said that, was a Black Hole also responsible for the origin of the Universe? Was a Black Hole, in fact, "The Big Bang"?" ..........my belief is that this may be true! Perhaps some day we might find that to be factual.

Could it be possible that the Big Bang was simply the consequence of some "Universal Black Hole" (of unimaginable proportions as compared to a Galactic Black Hole of which we are familiar), that accreted (devoured) all the matter of a previous Universe, imploded then exploded resulting in the Cosmos where humankind exists?

No one knows, and so it's left for everyone - for all of us - to speculate, ponder, dream about, talk about, research, and have fun with as we stand on our tiny, blue dot admiring what all the cosmos continues to offer us....overwhelming and mind staggering possibilities....

How can one not adore these Black Holes that challenge the science of Physics, stagger the imagination of mathematical geniuses, pose more questions yet to be answered, force the mind to think beyond limitations. "A black hole is a place where you can go in but you can never escape; is there a place where you can leave, but you can never go back?”

According to a speculative theory called 'Loop Quantum Gravity', physicists think so: They refer to it as "A White Hole".

Warmest welcome Tammy. Merry Christmas to you, to my special friend, JJ, and the family....! May the New Year make your dreams come true....

"....In 1916, the Austrian physicist Ludwig Flamm, while looking over Karl Schwarzschild's solution to Einstein's field equations, which describes a particular form of black hole known as a Schwarzschild black hole, noticed a possible phenomenon which later came to be known as a “white hole”. A white hole is the theoretical time reversal of a black hole and, while a black hole acts as a vacuum, drawing in any matter that crosses the event horizon, a white hole acts as a source that ejects matter from its event horizon. Some have even speculated that there is a white hole on the "other side" of all black holes, where all the matter the black hole sucks up is blown out in some alternative universe, and even that what we think of as the Big Bang might in fact have been the result of just such a phenomenon....."

Enter another strange character, one which actually may be the connection between the Black Hole and the White Hole: Meet The Wormhole: 🙂

Jupiter continues to protect Earth from asteroids and comets that may threaten the very existence of life on our small, blue planet; she doesn't want any additions, deletions, or rearrangements of any planets made within the solar system by wandering space rocks and she plans to maintain harmony among the planets for billions of years to come. Period. You see, Jupiter wanted her own Solar System, but was not large enough to become a star; hence, she adopted our Solar System from our sun, Sol. Saturn deserves much credit in assisting Jupiter in drawing in and tossing out planetary bodies and debris they deemed unwanted. Thank you both....! We enjoy it here....

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Without Jupiter and Saturn orbiting out past Earth, life may not have been able to gain a foothold on our planet, new simulations suggest.

The two gas giants likely helped stabilize the solar system, protecting Earth and the other interior, rocky planets from frequent run-ins with big, fast-moving objects, researchers said.

In other words, giant planets appear to have a giant impact on giant impacts.

"If you don't have giant planets in your system, you have a very, very different planetary system," Tom Barclay, of NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California said here Friday (Jan. 8) at the 227th meeting of the American Astronomical Society.

Barclay and his colleagues found that massive impacts — such as the one involving the proto-Earth that's thought to be responsible for the formation of the moon 4.5 billion years ago — would happen more frequently, and for a longer time periods, in solar systems that lack giant outer planets.

Such giant impacts could result in the loss of a planet's atmosphere, potentially making the world uninhabitable, Barclay said.

"If you have giant planets, your last giant impact happens somewhere between 10 and 100 million years [after planet formation], which is pretty fine — it's like what happened on Earth," Barclay said. "If you don't have giant planets, the last giant impact can happen hundreds [of millions] to billions of years in. This really is a risk to habitability."

As a solar system forms, planetary building blocks and debris zoom around in a broad disk before eventually aggregating into planets with stable orbits. Barclay's group started its simulation after Mars-size planet embryos had already formed in the system, and looked at cases with and without giant planets on the outer perimeter.

The researchers found that, with giant planets around, the remaining small solar system bodies were either ejected out of the system more quickly — because of the angular momentum the gas giants add to the system, Barclay said — or became a part of the existing planets sooner.

Without the influence of giant planets, the fragments formed a large, dangerous cloud orbiting close within the system that took much longer to disperse — kind of like a closer-in version of the icy Oort Cloud, a shell of debris that orbits in the outer solar system and occasionally casts comets toward Earth.

Could this be a planet tossed to the outermost edge of the solar system by our friendly Jupiter 4 billion years ago? 😀

One question remains...

1. There is a rule regarding these three numbers: what is it? 4, 16, 36

From DanielB_STX - "All can be squared." True. However, that's not the 'rule' regarding the numbers. What is the rule?
*-)

(2*n)2

(2*n)2

Very good. However, it still isn't the rule.

1. There is a rule regarding these three numbers: what is it? 4, 16, 36

Another statement:

The same rule applies to these three numbers: 2, 13, 33
What is the rule?

They are in a sequence.

An infinite sequence.

The rule for 4, 16, 36 is doubling each number.

The rule for 2, 13, 33 is a finite sequence. You start will adding 11 to 2 then adding 10 to 13 then adding 9 to 33 and so on until you get to 1
