The most voracious black hole in the universe

In the image above you can see two images, the one above is an illustration, but the below is a real photo and should not be happening because what they have discovered is the most voracious black hole in the universe, we do not know what happens inside a black hole, but we can capture what happens in its environment and what has been discovered breaks with the laws of physics that we know.


The research was published on November 4 in Nature Astronomy. Those responsible are a team of astronomers from the Noir lab and the National Science Foundation who have used data from the James Web Space Telescope and the Chandra X-ray Observatory and have discovered that this hole low-mass supermassive black that is located at the center of a very distant galaxy.


Although it may sound contradictory, supermassive and low mass means that it is not one of the colossal ones because there are black holes with hundreds or billions of solar masses, this one is called LID 568 and has 7.2 million solar masses, which is not bad at all. , because the mass of Sagittarius A*, which is the black hole located in the center of our Milky Way galaxy, is 3.7 million solar masses, so this would be almost double the size, but what is extraordinary It is not its size, what is extraordinary is that it breaks the laws of physics due to the communal amounts of matter it is absorbing.




We do not know what is inside a black hole, but we know what happens Outside the black hole, the laws of physics that are fulfilled in the rest of the universe should be fulfilled. Inside there are theories of all kinds, once the horizon of events or event horizon we do not know what really happens but I already said outside the physics should be the same as what we know anywhere in the universe, but here that does not happen.


There is a physical law that says that just like a drain there is a limit to swallowing in a black hole, a drain has a limit to swallowing water, it cannot swallow it all, it depends on its size and it depends on the capacity to swallow water. In order to swallow, there are physical laws that regulate it and the same thing happens to a black hole depending on its size. It has a limit to devour matter, it is the Eddington limit, named after the British astronomer and mathematician Arthur Stanley Eddington.


This limit indicates, in addition to the maximum speed at which a black hole can absorb matter, it also indicates the maximum luminosity capacity that the surroundings of a black hole can reach. This limit in this black hole LID 568 has burst, this hole matter-eating black absorbs matter 40 times faster than the eddington limit indicates, the feast is not going to last long at this rate he will run out of material to devour in a short time but the question is how is it possible for him to do this .




At the moment, astronomers affirm that by investigating this case, we could help clarify one of the mysteries of the universe, and that is that we are finding supermassive black holes in the early universe, this one in particular we see as it was 1,500 million years ago. After the Big Bang, the early universe was the youth of the universe. The curious thing is that we are finding supermassive black holes when the universe was very young and that was physically impossible.


How it was possible for black holes to grow so incredibly fast is a headache for scientists; With this finding we could explain the reason why supermassive black holes exist so soon, what we cannot explain and here is the question is what laws of physics are happening at that moment in that black hole so that it can swallow so much and therefore that have also occurred in those supermassive black holes that we are finding.


It is so disconcerting that it can tell us that perhaps in that young universe the laws of physics did not work the same as they do now, because if this happened we could also discover supermassive black holes in nearby galaxies, I am referring to the current universe, the universe around 1000 millions of years that can surround us, but we do not find this type of thing, we do not find black holes that swallow and burst the Eddington limit, it could then be proof that the laws of the universe have not always worked in the same way. the same way.
