Any thoughts, anyone?
There is a relationship between quasars and black holes and there *may* be a relationship between black holes and white holes (if the latter even exists). As matter falls into a black hole, it heats up and emits radiation. In the case of super-massive blackholes, as is sometimes found in the centers of galaxies, this reaction produces a lot of energy which we then interpret as quasars. Like black holes, white holes are a theoretical consequence of general relativity but, unlike black holes, have yet to be empirically observed. While there are many hypotheses floating around that establish relationships between black holes and white holes (such as a black hole creating a "Big Bang" which creates another universe which would, from its point of view, interpret that as a white hole) I haven't seen anything that establishes a direct relationship betwen white holes and quasars. From what I've seen the consensus is that the energy of a quasar comes from *outside* the black hole. > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > ""Minds Eye"" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group > athttp://groups.google.com/group/minds-eye?hl=en. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
