Hi. :-)

I'm about to embark on a websearch that could ultimately tell me some
of the numbers about protons and black holes.

Everybody's heard of a proton, right?

And practically everybody (at least english-speaking internet geeks)
has heard of a black hole, right?

I wonder if anybody's done comparative numbers on the effective mass
vs. dimensions of the two. Like, are they conceptually equivalent,
or could, maybe, protons (and their sisters, neutrons) actually _BE_
teeny, tiny, infinitesimallyy smalll BLACK HOLES?????

Thanks,
Rich

Do you mean are quarks black holes because a proton consists of 3
quarks.

Yes I suppose it is possible to construct a Theory of Everything
through black holes and the spin of multidimensional black holes but I
have never seen it done.

Although a proton has no well defined radius, it is true that the
quarks occupy a region with a radius of at least 1.2 x 10^-15 m. A
proton has a mass of 1.675 x 10^-27 kg, for which the Swarzschild
radius is 39 orders of magnitude smaller than the proton radius I've
given. So no, a proton isn't a micro-black hole.

The nucleon-nucleon force isn't that of gravitation.
The N-N force has repulsive, as well as attractive,
components. The size of the repulsive core is many
orders of magnitude larger than the Schwarzschild
radius for a black hole of the same mass. At typical
N-N distances in nuclei, the attractive component is
much stronger than that of gravitation.

The deuteron couldn't be held together by gravitation.

Hawking hypothesizes that a black hole with mass
less than ~ 10^(-8) kg (Planck mass) would decay
very rapidly (Planck time). Nucleon mass is many
orders of magnitude less than this.

A charged black hole has a maximum charge-to-mass ratio, and a spinning
black hole has a maximum angular momentum-to-mass ratio. If these are
exceeded, you don't have an event horizon, but instead have a "naked
singularity."

The charges and spins of all known elementary particles far exceed this
maximum value.

So, no, the proton can't be a black hole.

In agreement with experience we further assume a round pin is

Yeah, sure. Whatever floats your boat. Protons are holes in the fabric of
the spacetime continuum, a vacuum in a vacuum, swallowing everything near
them
until somone empties out the paper bag.
You must be right, I've agreed with you. Would you like some more candy,

it's more of a virtual field than a physical particle.

All the same, I think its density, whatever it might be,
is a remnant of earlier, much greater densities.

Protons are anti-black holes though.
Since Hawking radiation wouldn't exist
if protons were'nt anti-black holes.

GR can't ANYTIHNG in it except TENSORS.
Which is why the only people who erven use it are
the Tensors wanks in internet and sci.phyics.

it's only got evaporating fields.

But Jako, Grise is not asking about that. He, AFAICS does want
to know whether nucleons could be (described as) black holes.
However, despite the nebulous answers from the other posters,
speculations in these realms and domains can be done in so
very many ways & fashions, that one can conjecture & look at all
these processes and events with equal validity, as long as the dims
and the digits do fit. i.e. ..... I can produce a picture/conjecture that
delivers an estimate to the OP's question that Protons can be described
as quantum black holes in a fashion that's based on two self-evident
principles:

a) Nature is self-similar over all observable domains.
b) The unit systems (cgs etc) is internally self-consistent and all
fundamental physical constants must be expressible by/thru/with
combinations of other ones.

With that in mind, the proton(mass), m_p, can easily be expressed
in terms of being a black hole:
m_p, the proton mass, is a torus type construct that is a blackhole
of one (1) Plancklength radius across to its Schwarzschild event
horizon which is shrouded within an outer Coulomb type accretion
zone of EM charge energy (F, Faraday, not Farad) that interacts with
other charges which produce the measurable effects of the 13.5 eV
H-ionization potential and its associated Lyman series limit frequency.
Here is the QUANTITATIVE equation:

m_p = Schw.radius * Plank length * Coulomb/radiation parameters.

m_p = [c^2/2G]*[sqrt(hG/(2pi*c^3)]*[I_H/(f_L*F)]*(3*pi^2)*sqrt(2a)

m_p = 1.67E-24 gr (so, argue with the numbers not with me...ahaha)

In other words still, it says:
The Hydrogen nucleus (m_p) is a black hole with [***]
--- the classical Schwartzschild limit or event horizon of (c^2/2G) at
--- a radius of 1 Planck length sqrt(hG/2pi*c^3) and is shrouded in
--- a substance-characteristic Coulomb mantle, being the product of,
--- the H-Ionisation potential multiplier of 13.5
.... [I_H=4pi^4*sqrt(a)/sqrt(6)],
--- the Lyman series frequency limit (f_L), and
--- the Faraday Constant (F, the charge transfer handler),
.... and is further governed by
--- toroidal geometry demands of (3*pi^2) and
--- EM/QM fine structure conditions set by [sqrt(2*a)].

[***] Consider the distance between this event horizon and the larger,
classically measured H-radius as the "nuclear accretion zone" analog.

In case of leptons, here the electron m_e, the e-shell Ionization-potential
considerations do fall away and the situation changes to:

m_e = [c^2/G] * [sqrt(hG/(2pi*c^3)] * [1/(f_L*F)] * a*pi*sqrt(3)/3

m_e = 9.09E-28 gr

It says essentially the same as above, except that as already noted ,
there are no ionization considerations and that the electron's geometry
is spherical (instead of toroidal as in the composite H-atom)
Also, it indicates that the electron may be a rotating Kerr black hole
type character with the Kerr- [c^2/G] (instead of the Schwartzschild
[c^2/2G]) event horizon.
>
Now figure out and post the equations for m_n, the neutron and
other particles and cough up a numerical table for mass spectrum

[hanson]
In a way, right, deuterons and other combo particle are not held
glued together by gravitation alone, but if the Planck mass M_pl is
a black hole then is not ordinary matter any longer and it, like all
other black hole matter, large or small, is shut off from the visible
universe by definition and I would change your statement from
"decaying rapidly" into a corollary to the "virtual QM game" & say:
".... a black hole with mass less than ~ 10^(-8) kg (Planck mass,
M_pl) may pop in and out of a (Dirac's) virtual particle sea in very
rapid intervals with flash durations lasting only 1 Planck time, T_pl.

... to which I might add now that, based on my above quantitative
conjecture, a process (unknown?) is working here that grabs and
enshrines these emergent Planck masses with EM-quanta, which
gives them long, very long life times and makes them interactive
with and visible to other like siblings.... and now go forth and invent
a new cosmology! ... AHAHAHAHA.... I love these mind games!.....

Even Einstein had a go at stuff like this

http://www.krioma.net/articles/Bridge%20Theory/Einstein%20Rosen%20Bridge.htm
"The purpose of the paper of Einstein and Rosen was not to promote
faster-than-light or inter-universe travel, but to attempt to explain
fundamental particles like electrons as space-tunnels threaded by
electric lines of force."

but it had too many objections and not enough solutions to catch on.

If you want to make progress understanding atoms and the particles
involved, including interaction with light, you can only make progress
with quantum mechanics.

If you want to make progress understanding galactic structure and
behavior, the tool to use is general relativity (including Newtonian
mechanics and the assumption of dark matter).

Galaxies are made from atoms.
Galaxies and atoms both have nuclei which are thousands as times as

Galaxies and atoms both inhabit a spherical volume of space.
Galaxies and atoms both undergo reactions with others of their kind

The OP wants to know if the nucleon-nucleon potential
can exhibit a repulsive core of size ~ 10^(-13) cm while
nucleon mass / energy is localized within a Schwarzschild
radius of 10^(-52) cm. Go figure.

A "toroidal" mass distribution (mass quadrupole
moment) is what GTR predicts for a rotating black
hole. The black hole's angular momentum is
limited by J < M^2 (in stupid units of c = G = 1).

The proton has J = hbar / 2. Therefore,

sqrt( hbar / 2 ) < m_proton

If the electron is a black hole, then

sqrt( hbar / 2 ) < m_electron

Go figure.

Shrouded ? e^2 >> G (m_p)^2. hanson needs to
calculate the quantity of charge that can be bound
within radius, r_proton (known charge radius ~ 1 fm),
by a black hole of mass, m_proton.

What hanson is doing here is futile. The proton is
known to be a composite particle. The forces
between the constituents are much greater than those
of gravitation. The question of whether or not the
constituents (quarks) are black holes is irrelevant.

Black Holes are at galaxies' centers.

So do atoms.
Galaxies are mostly space.
So are atoms.
Galaxies' central nuclei are very dense compared to the rest
of the structure.
So are atoms'.
Galaxies occupy a spherical region of space ( they

So do atoms.
Galaxies interact with each other.
So do atoms.
Excited galaxies give off energy packets. (They are

Is the proton a black hole ?

A (internal) "toroidal" mass distribution (an external mass


quadrupole moment) is what GTR predicts for a rotating
black hole. The black hole's angular momentum is limited
by J < M^2 (in stupid units of c = G = 1).

The proton has J = hbar / 2. Therefore,

sqrt( hbar / 2 ) < m_proton

If the electron is a black hole, then

sqrt( hbar / 2 ) < m_electron

Go figure, but not in stupid units of c = G = 1. Put the
c's and G's back in, and then tell Old Man if the given
inequalities are true.

Galaxies and atoms have no relationship, whatsoever.

If you want to make progress understanding atoms and the particles
involved, including interaction with light, you can only make progress
with quantum mechanics.

If you want to make progress understanding galactic structure and
behavior, the tool to use is general relativity (including Newtonian
mechanics and the assumption of dark matter).

This makes little sense to me.

"virtual" is associated with something that does not *physically* exist.
If it doesn't physically exist, it doesn't exist. End of story.

"Proton" is a name used for the set of measurements of an entity that
exits. Whether or not a proton is actually what we think of as a
particle is irrelevant. The entity that "proton" refers to exists, by
definition. That is, we can make physical measurements of it. The entity
has physical characteristics. We call that set of real, physical
measurements a "proton". A "proton" therefore physically exits. That's
what we mean by existence. It has measurable properties.

As Einstein once said,
I'd like to think the moon was still there even when I couldn't see it.

Einstein was good at precisely describing things
that couldn't be measured for decades yet to come.

For example, recent supernovae data has made
Einstein's so_called Greatest_Blunder, lambda, a.k.a. the Cosmological_Constant,
the leading theory of the cosmos... but much more data is still needed.
WikiPedia.ORG has this to say:

Adding a cosmological constant to the standard theory of cosmology
...has led to a model for cosmology known as the Lambda-CDM model.

This model is in very good agreement with
established cosmological observations.
__ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_energy

and:

In spite of its problems, the cosmological constant is in many respects
the most economical solution to the problem of cosmic acceleration.

One number successfully explains a multitude of observations.
Thus, the current standard model of cosmology, the Lambda-CDM model,
includes the cosmological constant as an essential feature.
__ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_energy#Cosmological_constant

Something is _Virtual_ if it exists only in essence, not in reality.
See: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=virtual

For example, a map is a _Virtual_ territory,
it merely represents something that physically exists,
it's not the thing itself.

To put it mildly, protons are imprefectly understood,
that makes them _Very_ virtual, far from real.

What they might really be, e.g. how dense they might be,
is not known to anyone... except maybe the next Einstein.

From the more lucid remarks in your earlier posts it was clear that
you believe from your pov and in your mind that along the standard
line of inquiry via GTR/QM/Std particle model it says that particles are
NOT black holes. But apparently, all that this traditional wisdom has
done for you, Jako, is for you to ask me whether a predict from GTR
[1] is true when compared with an edict of QM [3], ... from 2 theories
about which all you traditionalists have moaned for generations now
that the 2 are incompatible... AHAHAHA... Jako, if you wanna be cool
then at least be funnier then to compare oranges with apples in [3] with
== sqrt( hbar / 2 ) [sqrt M*L^2/T] < m_proton [M], == where you have
obviously inequalities already at dimensional level, ... So, never mind the
numerical size of the issue.... ahahaha.... Jako, you decide yourself what
to do with your physico-political potatoe that you have tossed here up
into air .....ahahaha... AHAHAHA...

BTW, GTR as a predictor of toroidial mass distribution is to denigrate
that theory. ... Applied Euclidian geometry predicts that too... ahaha...

Now, it can be forgiven and be chuckled at and chortled over when
posters try to weasel out of arguments with rop-a-dope foot work...
But when a researcher of note like you, Jako Epke, does like what
you did after he sees 2 quantitative equations, P & E:
::P:: m_p = [c^2/2G]*[sqrt(hG/(2pi*c^3)]*[I_H/(f_L*F)]*(3*pi^2)*sqrt(2a)
::E:: m_e = [c^2/G] * [sqrt(hG/(2pi*c^3)] * [1/(f_L*F)] * a*pi*sqrt(3)/3
which arose from very different bases then GTR & QM does and yield
results that call for different INTERPRETATIONS, namely that particles
can be DESCRIBED by assigning BH characteristics to them, (BTW
something that is hinted at with "point-like" in the traditional lingo)
... then Jako, could one not expect that a persona like you, raises an
eyebrow and begins to wonder.... instead of seeing him reacting with
pedestrian weaseling like you did?... and even worse that he does gloss
over the following, .... or was this your way of acquiescing acceptance?
Here it is repeated for your benefit...

In a way, right, deuterons and other combo particle are not held

glued together by gravitation alone, but if the Planck mass, M_pl, is
a black hole then it is not ordinary matter any longer and it, like all


other black hole matter, large or small, is shut off from the visible

Of course there is some similarity between atoms and galaxies - and also
solar systems in between. Any teenager with an imagination and some
interest in physics notices this. Of course, after thinking about it
for a short time, they note that the differences far outweigh the
similarities, and forget about it.

Let's say they do.

How do the stars in a spiral galaxy go around?
Do you think they go around in circles which
repeat in a sort of ecliptic plane?
Or might that ecliptic plane itself be rotating
around an axis within it? You do know that our
planets do this, do you not?
Are galaxies precessing?
Might this not lead to confusion about star
velocities (calculating pathways as 2D when they
are really 3D)?
What proof is there that they are?
What proof that they are not?

"Radio sources with jets can possess another peculiar shape due to a
combination of kinetic and geometrical effects. This occurs if the jets
precess about a defined axis. The precession can result in the jet being
curved as observed in the plane of the sky, although any fluid particle
of the jet always follows a straight trajectory. This behaviour is
manifested in the plane of the sky as inversion (or 180$ ^\circ$
rotation) symmetry. For example, a bend to the right in one jet becomes
a bent to the left in the opposite jet. A typical example is the radio
galaxy NGC 326 which is shown in fig.(I.5). It is very likely that this
precession originates at the very base of the jet (see Begelman et al.,
1984, and references therein), close to the central engine.

Figure I.5: Inversion symmetry in the radio galaxies source associated
with NGC 326. The radio image of the galaxy shows a bend in the top left
jet implies a bend to the bottom right jet. This peculiar shape arise
because the jets precess about a certain axis, resulting in a cone-like
radio structure. The projection on the plane of the sky of this motion
produces inversion symmetry."
from Bending of jets in radio galaxies

"It is very likely that this precession originates at the very base of
the jet" means the disc itself is precessing.
The magnetic structure arising at right-angles to the Milky Way also
curves.

The most important differences are due to scale:

On the astronomic scale, gravity is by far the dominant effect. On the
atomic scale, the electromagnetic force is dominant (and also weak and
strong nuclear forces, when you get within the nucleus). These are very
different types of forces, leading to very different patterns.

On the atomic scale, quantum mechanics rules - on the astronomic scale,
relativity rules. One day, someone will figure out a successful and
consistent big toe, but even then the two theories will be very good
approximations in all but the most extreme cases. Among the differences
caused by this, it is not hard to find out where a given star is (or at
least, where it was), whereas it doesn't even make sense to ask where a
particular orbital electron is.

Atoms interact with their environment in many ways, such as partnerships
with neighbouring atoms, or electrons jumping between orbits. Galaxies,
to a large extent, are independent - their relations to other galaxies
are mostly minor due to the distances involved.

Atoms have a core that is totally different in character to the orbitals
- galaxies have no well-defined core, but simply a denser central region.

Atoms come in specific discrete sizes, all with the same spherical shape
(when isolated). Galaxies come in a wide range of shapes and sizes.


Looking at the similarities between galaxies (or more commonly, solar
systems) and atoms can be illustrative at a basic level, but the
similarities end quickly. It's like comparing a bacteria to a person,
and describing the nucleus as the "brain", and flagela as the "arms".

Those of us who work in what was once called the 'natural sciences'
(chemistry, physics, biology, and their kin) define 'science' by
reference to the 'scientific method' - a technique of developing and
testing theories about the observable universe by actually *making
observations* in a repeatible, observer-independent manner.

Many things on your list do not measure up to our standards for a
testable theory. Your 'theory of everything,' whatever it may
eventually turn out to be, cannot therefore be classified as a 'theory'
in the empirical sciences, and thus cannot be a theory that includes
science.

Your effort to be all-inclusive has pre-destined you to fail to include
empirical sciences.

Physicists OTOH do not even pretend to be interested in developing
theories about many of these things. A 'theory of everything' in
physics means an *empirically testable* theory that applies to all
*independently observable* pheonomena - a much less ambitious and much
more realizable goal than yours.

Happy philosophizing.

BTW, are you a sophomore? Most people I know outgrew the delusion that
they could ever possibly know Everything late in their second year. By
the time they started upper-division courses, they realized that they
couldn't even expect to learn Everything about their major subject in a
single lifetime.

In this day and age, negative numbers are "almost intuitive" - when I
was in about fifth or 6th grade, they were teaching us the number line.
And the teacher asks, "So, what if you have three, but take away five?"
and some kid says, "Well, then you'd be two in the hole." The teacher
said "Exactly!!" and lit up like "Wow, one of them *GOT IT*!!" ;-)

Things that make no sense often become obvious once somebody points out
a simple geometric model. For negative numbers, it is the infinite
number line which stretches in both directions. For complex numbers, it
is the plane. Until the notion of 'imaginary' numbers was associated
with a geometric model of the plane, nobody took them seriously.

However, if you think in terms of Euclidian geometry, lengths are always
positive, and ratios are always 'constructable' or considered obscene...
(all the men are good looking, and all the kids are above average). There
is no measurement as such. Because of this, there is has been a constant
historical tension between geometers and alegebraists. Some people think
in pictures, some in symbols...

It's impossible to explain something to you in simple
fashion, because then you take it that way,
and equally impossible to explain in more complex
terms, because you are so distractible that you chase
the first red herring.

How do stars follow Keplerian orbits when the galaxy
they are in is itself turning end-over-end? That was the
question.
Looking at their pathways after numerous flips and flops of the parent
galaxy, do you still think them to be following elipses?

What makes you think whole intact spiral galaxies are doing pancake
flips? That's a violation of the conservation of angular momentum.

> Looking at their pathways after numerous flips and flops of the parent
> galaxy, do you still think them to be following elipses?

I wouldn't accuse even planet Earth of traveling an absolutely
perfect ellipse. That's just one component of its motion. It also
wiggles back & forth, since Earth & the Moon both orbit a mutual
barycenter, and that barycenter shares another barycenter with the Sun.
Earth gets perturbed endlessly in small amounts as bits of meteoric
dust zip by. It even gets perturbed by the passage of neutrinos through
it. A body's instantaneous motion is a function of the sum of all the
forces acting upon it. A body's actual path over a period of time is a
function of all the variable forces acting upon it over time.

Now, you're just being arrogant. Of course it includes science, but

So? What do you think each indivdual star/star cluster is doing? You
think it's just sitting there? Hell no. It's orbiting with the mass
center of the galaxy. If you were to run a movie of the halo very fast
you'd see each such object wizzing along on its own geodesic.

John, you're really making a major fool of yourself here. There's a
major difference between a bike wheel and a spiral galaxy. Can you tell
me what that difference is? I'll tell you what it is.

First, the bike wheel is a RIGID system. A galaxy is anything but.
Second, the bike wheel is hanging on the end of a tense chord with its
angular momentum vector at some angle to the vertical, within an
approximately uniform gravitational potential. A galaxy is anything
but.

And classical physics explains this precession with the presence of an
external torque that is not along the axis of rotation. (It is in fact
perpendicular to both the axis of rotation and the axis of precession.)
This explanation is neatly confirmed by changing the direction or
magnitude of that torque and observing the appropriate change in the
precession rate. And so if you think that galaxies precess, then you
surely have an accounting of the external torque that is not along the
axis of rotation.

What you're doing, John, is extrapolating similar *behaviors* to
similar objects, without an understanding of the agent that is causing
the behavior or the rules that govern that behavior. Thus you imagine
that because galaxies and bicycle wheels both have rotation and moments
of inertia, then whatever the bicycle wheel does the galaxy should do
also.

Returning to the cats and dogs thing: Both are mammals, both are
carnivores with sharp canine teeth and sensitive hearing, both have
binocular vision, both walk on four feet and have claws, neither sweat
and must lose extra heat through panting, and both have fur and tails
that they use for balance in running. However, it would be a mistake to
then assume that because dogs in the wild hunt in packs, then cats in
the wild do the same.

You make the same mistake in a *profound* way in comparing galaxies to
atoms. You extrapolate the similarities without understanding anything
about the underlying causes that will also reveal their deep
differences.

Let a clock emit a frequency of 1 Hz be moving relative to
an observer with velocity 0.866c

Comment:
Such a clock is supposed to tick at a lower rate as a result of it s
velocity.
The velocity chosen is such that gamma = 2.
Therefore the clock ticks 1 second for every 2 seconds of the "stationary"
reference clock.

Einstein's FUMBLE:
t-vx/c^2
t' = _______________
sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)

ref (Electrodynamics, section 3)

Calculation:

= t * sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
= 1 * 0.5
= 0.5 seconds
= 1 tick per 2 seconds


Comment:
One second measured by the "moving" clock has duration two seconds
measured by the "stationary" clock. The "moving" clock is (supposedly)
running slow.

You lie, moortel lies.
0.5 seconds (measured by the "moving" clock)
is 0.5 Hz (measured by the "stationary" clock)
You are as stupid as they come, a totally ignorant phuckwit.

A galaxy is not rigid.
I'll give you that.

But stars within galaxies do not and cannot follow Keplerian
orbitals. Why? Because spiral galaxies have *arms*.
Their arms remain discrete. They are separated from the
other arms by bands of dust.

If the stars followed Keplerian orbits the galaxies
could not possibly have arms. The inner stars would quickly lap
stars exterior to them. It was precisely *because* of this that
Dumb...I mean Dark...Matter was proposed; to pull all the
outer stars around faster!! (Who *was* the brainiac that
belched out that one?)

No, galaxies aren't rigid. But they aren't fluid, either.
They are definitely structured in a somewhat permanent way.
And for whatever reason- DM or the real reason- the stars
within DO NOT....and CAN NOT... follow Keplerian orbits.
Who was the brainiac that said that? Sam? Was that you?

I think it is the Oct. 2005 issue of Scientific American
that provides some layman level education about galactic
spiral arms.... You, John, might benefit from reading about
the phenomenon of spiral arms and stellar orbits.

Hi John,
Sorry, but no banana. The 'arms' of a galaxy are not any type of
permanent relationship. There is nothing 'holding' them together except
for a tendency to gravitationally clump when a large number of separate
large objects are spinning around a common center of mass. Star go into
and out of the 'arms' constantly. It is more a 'chaos' effect than an
actual structure.

If, by "Keplerian", you mean a nice, clean, uncomplicated ellipse,
then I'll have to say "What ever gave you the idea that things in the
Universe are even asserted to follow such ideal paths?" I already told
you a few posts back that I already know that real things don't travel
in clean ellipses. An ideal elliptical orbit is followed only by
*pairs* of gravitating objects. In this big Cosmos, there are no pairs.
There are, in fact, g'zillions of things exerting forces upon each
other, and gravity is only one of those forces. Kepler discovered
elliptical orbits only by the grace of orbits which are sufficiently
close to ideal ellipses as to be amenable to analysis by means
available to him at that time. If they had been severely complicated,
for example by our being in a binary star system, then he probably
would not have had a chance.

Something you don't seem to grasp is that the arms are not
equivalent to the individual stars within them. If I rig up a weak
light source to shine through a pinhole, producing an Airy pattern (an
interference pattern of concentric rings) on a screen, the image of the
rings will be quite stable on the large scale. But if I look closely
enough at the image I'll find that on the small scale it sparkles. Each
sparkle is a single photon event on the screen. The large Airy pattern
is not, from moment to moment, the same exact photons. The photons come
& go. The spiral arms of a galaxy are not necessarily made up of the
same exact individual stars from one eon to the next. The spiral
pattern is not a function only of Keplerian orbits. There's something
more complicated going on in spiral galaxies than *just" masses
gravitating towards each other.

And if you don't know by now, at this late time in your carreer as a
maverick physicist, why the anomalous periods of galactic stars
suggests Dark Matter (which should then be investigated as a plausible
hypothesis, *alongside* the hypothesis that gravity follows a law not
yet understood by us)), then what the hell are you doing bashing it?
You don't even know what it is that you're debunking.

There's an old saying, that "Things should be described as simply as
possible, but no simpler." Your stuff is a perfect example of simpler.

I once saw a time-lapse artists' conception of how a spiral galaxy is
structured, and it seems that the leading edges of the arms consisted of
new, young stars and the trailing edges were old, burned-out stars, and
the dark spaces between the arms were full of supernova dust ("star
stuff") waiting to be conglomerated by the advancing gravity wave of the
approaching arm, and become the new stars in the leading edge. It was
kinda cool, actually.

Cheers!

Did I ever say the only hypothesis is that we have an immutable
understanding of gravity? Did I say that? NO. I didn't. Go back and
read my post. I said plainly that dark matter *and* modified gravity
should both be explored. You're the one being chauvinistic here, John.
Between the two of us, you are the one who cannot stomach even the
notion that dark matter is a perfectly reasonable suspect.

This is how new things are discovered. An anomaly is found; all
interpretations are pursued and the winner is the one with all the
observational vindication. This is how neutrinos were discovered. There
was either a hitherto unknown particle, or there was a violation of
conserved energy & momentum. Both hypotheses were considered. A
rigorous theory of a new particle, constrained by known principles, was
inferred. It made unambiguous predictions. In time it became possible
to test those predictions by experiment. The neutrino became a fact,
and energy remained a conserved quantity.

It's this way now. There are data to constrain new theories which
are in the works. Physicists can't afford to throw out dark matter on
the fallacious argument that it's "time for a new theory of gravity".
This isn't a sleepover party where everyone gets a turn. A theory is
only categorically excluded if hard data are clearly inconsistent with
it. There's nothing (yet) in the data which preclude Einsteinian
gravity.

IMHO, the burned out remnants are just that- burned out. Dust.

The makings of new stars are being shot out from
the poles of the """Black Hole""" as highly-charged plasma.
Neutron stars and dust must pass through the extreme conditions
at the galaxy's center before once again having the charge-separation
necessary for star material.
Yes, the edge of the arm could swirl this plasma and
conglomerate it, but re-charge it? If this were true,
only the leading edge would have new stars. Has this been observed?

Sorry Charlie, I've never read any kind of
observations or proof to that effect. Arms are
order. Chaos does not do order.
Perhaps you have some reference to the statements
that stars go back and forth between arms?
Chaotic could maybe do a few galaxies into arms
at some times, but not *all* galaxies all the time.
Look at picture of galaxies in collision. The arms
do not break apart. Gimme a link to support your
statement about arms going back and forth.

So, you think all stars within a given arm have the same angular
velocities? That'll come as a surprise to astronomers.
