NASA Spacecraft Lifts Veil on Universe's Brightest Explosions

For people who genuinely want to know, these gamma ray bursts happen before the matter enters the blackhole. They are basically sucked in spirals that get hotter and hotter as matter is more squeezed together before they pass the blackhole's event horizon. The magnetic field properties of the backhole cause the burst to be directed and focused on specific directions.
But on a different note entirely seperate from this article blackholes do radiate and eventually evaporate, but for that check Wikipedia for "Hawking Radiation".

Oh here some the trolls saying to shut down NASA. They have no idea what NASA has and continues to do for everyone.
NASA funding should be increased. They have done a LOT of good for everyone and continue to help advance science and develop new products that people use EVERYDAY.
Just think about everything that comes from a satellite. Without NASA, we would not have those.

HST In The News..Astronomers have had pictures of colliding galaxies for quite some time now, but with the vastly improved resolution provided by the Hubble Space Telescope, you can actually see lawyers rushing to the scene...

Hey black hole, please do us a favor by swallowing all these stupid commentators on yahoo boards.

Question for the physics crowd here. I've read that if a nearby star were to go super nova the radiation would kill everything on earth. What kind of distance are we taking about for this to happen? Thanks.

Do some research into the holographic universe theory being proposed by some of the most brilliant theoretical physicists alive. It attempts to explain that we are in essence a 3D projection of a 2D information boundary. Its concept was devised from the notion that matter falling into a black hole cannot loose its information and that the information is actually imprinted on the disk and information is conserved in the quantum sense

"The holographic principle was inspired by black hole thermodynamics, which implies that the maximal entropy in any region scales with the radius squared, and not cubed as might be expected. In the case of a black hole, the insight was that the informational content of all the objects which have fallen into the hole can be entirely contained in surface fluctuations of the event horizon. The holographic principle resolves the black hole information paradox within the framework of string theory."

Here is one for you, because information cannot be destroyed what happens to the information that falls on the event horizon? Is it destroyed? preserved? recreated by a spontanious particle being created outside of the black hole?

It's been understood that in a black hole, gravity is so strong that not even light can escape, then how can light shoot out of it, if it can't escape, unless this is Pre event horizon???

If it was'nt for NASA men would have never gone to the moon or send probes to explore
other planets like Mars!......ONE SMALL STEP FOR MAN,ONE GIANT LEAP FOR
MANKIND!

The spin of the black hole should twist a combination of extremely intense magnetic and gravitational waves into very tight and dense coils. The emissions would be beacons, perhaps laser-like, from both poles. So this will prove very interesting, e.g. what happens to time there? What happens when the magnetic lines become over-tight ... do they snap? And gravity?

now that is some wild wacky stuff what do you think Ed?

It's fast okay?

Maybe black holes just break down the matter into the energy that formed it, but I cannot believe that it isn't sent somewhere else, or something like that. ALL that stuff being sucked into the black hole never goes anywhere?

If somebody knows please do post it, I for one would like to know if there is a possible correlation. Studying the transistors barrier might save a lot of telescope money and the answer to everything might just be under our thumb. It could be 22.

"to further refine theory theories." good one....

We need only to look at earth, the core is a magnet, that's what a black hole is.
they have + and - polls, a magnet will cling to another magnet, but flip one over, and they push against each other.
A black Hole isn't eating anything, is is crushing everything to the point where it can't hold it, then just as in the magnet flip test it ejects atoms outward into interstellar space feeding the The Universe.

Where's da pitchers?

Gamma-ray bursts are more likely the results of synchotron radiation, caused by high energy electrical discharge events. The collimated jet and the resultant EM radiation associated with it described in the article is also a result of EM forces. The fact that two of the main theories used to describe these realms are incompatible should be a red flag to the viability to one or both theories. Maybe a unifying theory such as Electromagnetism should be given more recognition.

Since the theory of black holes was introduced, the one constant has been that "Nothing escapes a black hole, not even light". Now, nearly every article published that even mentions black holes also includes the theory that this is being ejected from a black hole or that's escaping or leaking from a black hole. I wish these people would make up their minds (or at least admit they don't have a clue what's going on out there)!

So matter is drawn into the Black Hole and does not exit again somewhere else, Instead it is released as a beam of light or energy?
