NuSTAR has Detected a Huge Explosion in the Center of our Galaxy and inbound...

No need to cower in terror while waiting for some Gama rays on it's way to fry you

Oh p*sh. Spoilsport. I was getting all exited about being fried and was even considering going large. Not even just a teensy weensy bit of terror, pretty please?

Tell me however. I am getting more and more perplexed by what seems to be a bit of a conundrum. A black hole sooks everything in and is so strong even light cannot escape. Yet it belches? How so?

What about Hawking radiation?

Here:

Hawking Radiation:

Hawking radiation is black body radiation that is predicted to be emitted by black holes,due to quantum effects near the event horizon. It is named after the physicist Stephen Hawking, who provided a theoretical argument for its existence in 1974,[1] and sometimes also after Jacob Bekenstein, who predicted that black holes should have a finite, non-zero temperature and entropy.[

bold by me.

Not confirmed to exist.

Yet.

Yup.

How do these effect our sun?

Our Sun itself is a source of all those types of radiation, and we probably receive more x-rays from it than from that black hole. A real danger to the Earth would be a nearby supernova, something closer than Betelgeuse.

Very interesting thread, this a topic I know nothing about but I am learning.
Thanks to the OP and all the posters here.
I am staying tuned to see where this all goes.

Yup.

One question I do have is about this Hawking radiation theory?

Is it considered way out there or a possibility?

The only question I have so far regarding this thread.

The best part of this thread is the fact that for the first time I noticed that the light from the center of the galaxy takes around 26,000 years to arrive here, and that's more or less the same amount of time of the precession of the equinoxes (the "Great Year").

Cool...

Co-incidence.

Some say there is no such thing, but I think it aptly named.

In-coming.

It has not been shot down. It's not "way out there".

No, it's not way out there.

If we can create micro black holes, we could measure their evaporation. And thus prove the theory correct.

Well the interesting thing is that if this just happened then there is no worry due to the great distance traveled. However it also proves that this may have happened at any time in the past and those particles can therefore be traveling through space and are about to reach us at any time. :O

Wow. We're special.

Thank you and thanks to Daz21 as well for answering my question.

Much appreciated.

Wouldn't it take a long long time to reach us?

I think it's like 26000 years, so nothing to worry about really, because I reckon it will take about 13.5 million years for any charged particles to reach us.

If we are seeing it now, it more than likely happened 26,000 years ago!!

Remember we are not looking at events in today's timeline......It takes time for the light to reach us!

Has anyone mentioned the galactic Superwave?
and could this flare be the energy released by the giant black hole feeding on a large star?

reply to post by Chrisfishenstein


Yes but we are not talking about light, so we are not talking about light speed.

Anything else en route as the aftermath, will travel sub light speed.

What's going to happen when NASA spots the space bus?

Packed to the nines with all past predictions and seriously underfunded by truth itself, it's been chugging through the galaxy collecting more and more stupid speculative power, a decision made for energy conservation by the ludicrous panel of 9 on planet Lemuria.

This space bus carries with it the credibility of all these predictions.... See where this is going......

Everyone knows that any kind explosion is accompanied by energy waves and particles. No matter when explosion happened,since NASA see the light mean that the light arrived on earth. My question is the speed of explosion waves,which mean that earlier or later the waves will reach the earth. Question is how much time after light? I beleive the alignement with center of galactic has nothing to do in a black hole explosion which issues waves on all directions.

I'm not really sure if this is correct but is a Lightyear the measurement of how long it takes like to get to the planet Earth and if so when that means that explosion to sell a galaxy happened a long time ago and we just received light now.

The "energy waves" would be the light and x-rays which NuStar saw already.

There isn't a "blast wave" like a ground explosion, because that takes air, which we're all out of in space.

As far as particles go, well, you can do that math yourself. Take the mass of something big to start - say our Sun - and then spread that out on the surface of a sphere 26000 light years in diameter. What's the particle density then? As so many of my engineering books say - "I'll leave this as an exercise for the student"
