Dark matter revealed in video feedback

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a video demonstrating a feedback loop that visually represents a black hole in real time, raising questions about the nature of dark matter. Participants express confusion over the relationship between electrons and dark matter, noting that dark matter remains a hypothetical concept. The conversation highlights the challenges of understanding dark matter's role in the universe, particularly its supposed dominance in mass composition. Concerns are raised about the feasibility of dark matter escaping a black hole, given the theoretical limits imposed by gravity. Overall, the video is acknowledged as intriguing, despite the complexities surrounding the science of dark matter.

"black hole the video". see what you think. go to a google video window. video feedback loop shows a black hole in real time. is the center rotation dark matter?

But I don't get it. What's the conversion from electrons to 'dark matter'? (quoting it, isn't it still merely a hypothetical existence?)
Sure, under such high speeds, I'd imagine anything would be ripped apart and 'dance' in the blinding speeds of gravitation, especially if that path towards the singularity is a nearly infinite spiral downward into the center. But if dark matter is supposed to account for over, what 70-90% of the constitution of our universe, then it would need somehow an escape velocity from the black hole, which is theoretically impossible. From my limited knowledge, the only thing to be exerted from a black hole is Hawking Radiation, and that's when the black hole is regressing.

Personally, I don't get it. Acceleration (here is some weak speculation) that is pushed radially outward through the centripetal force could add up after going through some blinding speeds from spiraling, but that versus the pull of a black hole? Plus, there would need to be a conversion process, and we'd need to know what exactly is there to be converted to. As far as I know, dark matter is a label that is synonymous with 'unknown'.
But nonetheless, that's a very trippy video, and a cool watch =P

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'
This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b. I start this...
