Black Holes Could Be The Mysterious Force Expanding The Universe

Here is something I have never considered....Dark matter as explained, is one thing I have never been a fan of however this new discovery goes a long way with doing away with the whole Dark matter theory and using dark energy to replace much of the weak theory of dark matter IMO

In a new paper, Croker and his colleagues have investigated the link between black holes and dark energy – not as the black hole grows, but when it is born. They used the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument to study the formation rate of black holes from the core collapse of massive stars at the end of their lifespan, much later in the lifetime of the Universe than when the supermassive black holes formed, and compared this with the expansion of the Universe.

"The two phenomena were consistent with each other – as new black holes were made in the deaths of massive stars, the amount of dark energy in the Universe increased in the right way," says physicist Duncan Farrah of the University of Hawai'i.

"This makes it more plausible that black holes are the source of dark energy."

According to the theory of cosmological coupling, black holes convert normal matter into dark energy. The team's calculations not only reproduced an expansion rate for the Universe consistent with current measurements, but provide an explanation for another problem: we have not been able to find all of the normal matter that should be in the Universe.

The rate of formation of black holes gives a dark energy conversion rate that is consistent with the amount of missing normal matter.

The work handily offers solutions to several outstanding questions in one fell swoop – pushing it towards the top of the pile for explanations for the mysterious force pushing the Universe apart.

"Fundamentally, whether black holes are dark energy, coupled to the universe they inhabit, has ceased to be just a theoretical question," Tarlé says. "This is an experimental question now."

The research has been published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics.

It is possible that it is helping to expand the universe, sounds more practical than the big bang theory....which I am not inclined to accept since there is no way in hell from this point in the universe that we could make that conclusion. Science is full of misinformation sometimes to try to gain support for people funding them. I have no problem with them doing that, but it does not mean I am going to believe and parrot the big bang theory.

If you spin things in a circle, by the right hand of motion, it induces energy flow.....so does that mean dark energy is created by a left hand motion? Don't have a clue....We are so far away that it would be very hard to determine what exact energy is being created by a black hole and there could be a black hole that does not have any stars or other matter we could detect circling it too, just ions or molecules could power one if they are spinning around it. The options are always open, we know little about that kind of stuff yet some people believe they know way more than they do.

I do kind of like the electric universe theory...but then again, that would be hard to verify too.

I've always viewed balck holes as like the trash compactors of the Universe, once enough matter has been gathered and the singularity is reached, it violently creates a minor "big bang" and starts a new nebule, thus creating matter from dark matter.

a reply to: GENERAL EYES

would be interesting to see if there is a link to dark energy and star forming regions.
the black holes act as a matter collector
then converts into dark energy and then the build up of dark energy is then used to form new stars.
Would be pretty cool

could overlay the Web of dark energy map they have created and put it with the star forming regions and see if it matches up
