Black Hole Jets: One of the Biggest Mysteries in the Universe

At the heart of every galaxy lies one of the most mysterious objects in the universe: a supermassive black hole. Millions to billions of times the mass of our sun, these giants power astrophysical jets, one of the most energetic processes known to physics. Read the full article at Quanta Magazine: www.quantamagazine.org/physicists-identify-the-eng…

Now, through the work of the black hole-observing Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) team, the mystery of what's powering these jets has started to unravel. Several weeks ago, the EHT released its second-ever photo of a black hole — another view of the same fiery ring pitted by darkness seen in 2019. Both images show the glowing plasma around the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy M87, whose giant jet rises outside the frame. Unlike in the first photo, the ring in the new image has stripes, indicating that the light is strongly polarized. Experts say the spiral pattern of the stripes results from a strong, orderly magnetic field around the M87 black hole, and that this represents the first significant empirical evidence in favor of a popular 44-year-old theory of jet launching, known as the Blandford-Znajek process.

Awesome! I’ve heard about the theory of how the magnetic fields of black holes create jets. Hearing that now there’s some real evidence that supports it is super exciting!

Oh wow, I hadn't heard there was an updated version of the infamous black hole picture this year. How did I miss that? Very interesting video, I love (Professor? Doctor?) Blandford's style, but the length of this video felt like a teaser! If you'll excuse me, I have some Googling to do...

I wonder what your thoughts are on Milkyway@home and Einstein@home; and if its positive then perhaps could you do a video to explain what these projects are covering in terms of Astronomy (both website explain), and if you believe in Volunteer distributed computing, perhaps a brief explanation of BOINC and how anyone with a phone, tablet, or computer can help these Scientists do their research. Thanks, great channel, definitely one of my favourites.

So, due to its spin, black hole emits charged particles which is around the accretion disk. So spinning objects always emits something? Do electron, proton also emits something from the medium? If yes, what are they emiting?

I'm a student of medicine... So it's evident I'm no expert in physics. Though that doesn't stop me to wonder about this beautiful Goosebump inducing stuff... Here's an idea...😆 From whatever I've consumed on the subject till date... Like the esteemed sir in the vid said... the SPIN of the black hole seems to be extremely important. What if the HOLE'S SPIN is changing the actual spin of the subatomic particles (of matter) it takes in and resulting it to form into something completely different: DARK MATTER maybe? This seems to be possible because the black hole's core is indeed a point object... And closely parallel to the size of subatomic particles... Because from what I've read about dark matter is the spins and nature of particles are at least the complete opposite from that of real matter. Resulting in the annihilation that is caused when both of them interact... (Experiment at STERN). So if this is true hypothetically... (May seem Very far fetched to you expert folks I know 🤦😆) Black holes may be a portal to dark matter ...

So wait... If the black holes are jetting out this energy, why doesn't the energy simply get absorbed back into the black hole? Does it mean that the jets can escape the gravitational pull of the black hole? All of this is super fascinating stuff regardless!
