The Meissner effect within a galaxy

AI Thread Summary
The discussion explores the possibility of black holes being so compact that their particles cannot move, leading to extremely low temperatures and potential superconductivity. However, it is clarified that particles do not behave like solid objects and can still move within neutron stars, which are hot rather than cold. The idea that a black hole could exhibit the Meissner effect and influence stellar orbits is deemed incorrect, as the scale of magnetic fields in galaxies is too weak to significantly affect star motion. Additionally, the concept of dark matter arises from the observed speeds of stars, which cannot be explained solely by magnetic influences. Overall, the initial premise regarding black holes and their effects on galactic dynamics is fundamentally flawed.

Is it possible that a black hole is so tightly compacted, that its individual particles are unable to move? If this is the case then wouldn't it be extremely cold; close to, or even at absolute zero? Any significant heat would be on the surface caused by friction of attracted matter. With such a cold body, specifically the super massive black hole at the centre of many or all galaxies, could it become a super conductor and exhibit behaviour observed with the Meissner effect and thus influence the orbiting stars and planets within the galaxy? It has been said that the speed of stars orbiting the centre of a galaxy cannot be justified taking into account their total mass and this led to the invention of dark matter. So, if the Meissner effect can have such an effect, considering that stars have a magnetic field, could it be strong enough to provide a boost to their speed?

No.

In addition, particles are not billard balls, they cannot "fill the space" like them. Neutron stars have some similarity to that picture, but those are very hot, and the particles can still move in there.

Concerning the other questions: no, as the basic idea is not right.
In addition, the scale is completely wrong. While there are magnetic fields in the galaxy, their influence on the motion of stars is negligible, and a small deviation from that field is even more negligible.
 
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...
