Super Massive Black Holes

Super Massive Black Holes

Scientists have discovered that the mass of the Super Massive Black Holes in the center of galaxies is 1/200 the mass of the galaxy. This same ratio was found over and over again as they studied more and more galaxies… and compared the size of the super massive black hole to the size of its galaxy.

Why were the super massive black holes almost always 1/200 the mass of their galaxies?

They didn’t know.

This got me to thinking.

If all galaxies started out as globular clusters (Spheres) and rotated – via angular momentum, which flattened them into discs, like our milky way, how much of the flattened disc would equal 1/200 the volume of the sphere.

If a globular cluster (sphere) – like a spinning ball of pizza dough – flattened into a disc, logically, there would be a lot more dough in the central region of the sphere, which flattened onto itself, than there would be at the outer edges of the sphere when it flattened.

I asked myself, "How big would a central column of the collapsing dough (that became the super massive black hole) need to be… in order for the super massive black hole to be 1/200 the mass of the sphere?"

Here is what I found out: 1/200 the volume of a sphere with a radius of 17.320508" would be contained in a 1" radius central column of that sphere when it collapsed.

Or a central 2 inch diameter column, of a 34 inch diameter ball of pizza dough, contains 1/200 the mass of that ball of dough.

A 34 inch spinning ball of pizza dough can flatten… and a central 2 inch column of this collapsing dough ball will scrunch down and become the super massive black hole at its center (containing 1/200 of the mass of that spinning ball of dough).

So a globular cluster of hydrogen spins, collapsing into a disc, and the collapsing central area (appx. 5.77% of that cluster) becomes the super massive black hole at its core with a mass that is 1/200 the mass of the cluster.

Just some fun stuff to contemplate… Do you want pepperoni on that?

Love,

PS: I have another thought experiment: It may be that super massive black holes came first, i.e., they were chunks of the Holy Sun Absolute that were thrown out into space during the big bang… dimpling the fabric of space time. And, thereafter, causing hydrogen clouds of gas to gather within these spherical dimples (of varying sizes)… and it just so happens that these chunks of black holes created dimples that could only hold a requisite amount of hydrogen. An amount that is 200 times more massive than the chunk of black hole which created each dimple of corresponding size. If that is the case, hold the pizza.

So what came first… spherical clouds of spinning hydrogen that collapsed into black holes, which are 1/200 the mass of the sphere, or chunks of black holes – peppering the Universe – around which hydrogen gathered in an amount 200 times more massive than the chunks?

I’m hungry, and Pam is making Snicker-doodles. Each started out as a rolled ball of snicker-doodle dough which flattened into a cookie when placed in an oven at 400 degrees.

Maybe that’s it. God is a baker and the Universe is his oven.

Snicker!
