NORA RASENTI'S on ‘Blackholes' and the health of the Universe

 

 

‘Blackholes' and the health of the Universe

 

  

ABSTRACT

This paper intends to describe how ‘Blackholes’ could be healed, and the effects of that in our greater space environment, and of the having secured a sustainable future for our planet Earth. 

 

INTRODUCTION

It is my intention to acknowledge and describe the flow of the life-cycle of Stars, as a natural process in the life of the Galaxies and the Universe.  Further I intend to place the influence of ‘Blackholes’ in that context, as a natural consequence of the process.  I would also like to introduce the notion of external influences in the precipitation of ‘Blackhole’ formation, and its consequences to the greater environment of space.  And finally, acknowledging the settling of this dis-functionality, and its consequences in securing a future. 

 

FRAMEWORK

In the process of researching towards writing this paper, I was challenged in my efforts to start with a definition of Space - apparently a good one is still to be coined.  And yet, I was glad to learn that the legalities have been complied with, in as much as the International Aeronautical Federation (FAI) identifies a line 100 km above the Earth's surface, referred to as the 'Karman line' as the end of the atmosphere and the beginning of Space. 

 

The science of ASTRONOMY is almost 5000 years old, and is one of the most ancient in our planet; deriving its name from the Greek language (astro = star; nomia = law).  Our Galaxy, 'The Milky Way' was apparently originally named so by the Romans and on clear nights it is possible to trace its magnificence across the sky. 

 

 

The Universe is composed of hydrogen 75% and helium 23%; with heavier elements making up the remaining 2% (metallic particles).  The space between galaxies, commonly known as ‘intergalactic space’ is made-up mostly of ionized hydrogen; this means it consists of atoms of the gas hydrogen, which have lost their electron. 

 

THE 'BIG BANG'

Cosmology is the study of the Universe, its features, history and future.  It is believed that the Universe started with an explosion commonly refer to as 'the Big Bang', about 14 billion years ago. 

 

In September 2018, I wrote an entry entitled "STANDARDIZING TIME" and published it in ‘Facebook’ around the same date.  It proved popular, even though I got some critical comments from stakeholders that would rather see the standards set based on distant landmarks - I would not hold that as a loss, provided SOME standard is set that enable us to establish chronologies of events.

 

Originally, the fundamental forces of the Universe were unified; we are referring to nuclear forces, magnetism, gravity...  It is believed that 'gravity' was the first force to make itself evident.  Until recently, it was also believed that it is one of these forces that prevent the Universe from collapsing inwards upon itself, by the sheer motion of its own gravity (please refer to the section entitled 'BLACKHOLES - A THING OF THE PAST' on this paper).  

 

Apparently, it was only after about 100 million years after the 'Big Bang' that the first stars began to shine. 

     

 

ATOMIC

Radiation is the energy given out by atoms.  Atoms are the tiniest building blocks of matter, and they are made of three different kinds of particles: 

W      protons,

 - protons,

- neutrons and

 electrons. 

 

 

At an atom's centre is a nucleus composed of protons and neutrons.  Electrons orbit around the nucleus.

The energy given out by the atom takes two main forms:

W      Atomic particles - radioactivity results when an atom decays, sending out Gamma rays and particles; and

W      Electromagnetic radiation - electric and magnetic fields move in tiny waves of different wavelengths. 

 

Light, for example, reputed the fastest element in the Universe, is a stream of tiny energy particles or 'photons'.  While Gamma rays are an example of electromagnetic radiation - a very energetic and dangerous short-wave.  Radio waves are another example of electromagnetic radiation - but long-wave, low-energy radiation.  Between the last two we can identify: 

W      x-rays,

W      ultraviolet rays,

W      visible light,

W      infrared rays, and

W      microwaves. 

Nuclear energy is the energy that holds the nucleus of every atom together, and it is the energy that fuels our nuclear power plants, AND EVERY STAR IN THE UNIVERSE, and it can be released either by fission or fusion: 

 

W      Energy is released by nuclear fusion when nuclei are joined together (when hydrogen or helium fuse) or even under extreme pressure, big nuclei such as iron fuse.  Four hydrogen nuclei can combine in the formation of a nucleus of helium (made of two protons and two neutrons).  During this FUSION process, two protons are transformed into neutrons, emitting an electron with a positive charge, commonly known as a POSITRON. 

 

W      Nuclear energy is released by nuclear fission by the splitting of big nuclei, such as Uranium or plutonium.  When that happens, Gamma rays, and neutrons are released. 

 

COLLAPSAR STARS

Hydrogen, the simplest and most common element in the Universe, is the element of which stars are made of.

 

‘Collapsar’ is the name we give a star that is collapsing, because nuclear fusion does no longer take place.  Such a star, in whose core the nuclear reactions have ceased, will become a ‘White Dwarf’, and could well go on to become a ‘Neutron Star’, and even further along, a ‘Blackhole’. 

 As the core of a star runs out of hydrogen, fusion is confined to an inner core of helium.  Core contraction releases energy to the outer layers of the Star, and the Star ‘puffs-up’ in size, often becoming 10 to 100 times bigger; while the temperature drops, causing the Star color to become redder (a 'red giant'). 

 

The rising temperature causes helium fusion in the core, in what is refer to as the "alpha process" - a way of synthesizing carbon - 2 helium nuclei (or alpha particles) fusing together to form a beryllium isotope, requiring just an extra helium nucleus to become a stable carbon nuclei.  An extra alpha particle would result in the formation of an oxygen nucleus, all this at the highest temperatures.   

 

When a Star expands to form a ‘red giant’, it can be expected it will eventually explode as a violent supernova and blasts its material into space.  As the core collapses under gravity, a smaller, dense ‘Neutron star’ will come into existence, and its luminosity will increase to 10^8.  ‘Neutron stars’ are left behind following supernova explosions - they are the collapsed core of massive stars. 

 

Carbon is produced until the helium is used up, and the star begins to die.  Therefore we consider that the outward appearance of a star is indicative of what is happening in its core: when burning hydrogen into helium it remains within the familiar shape and colors of a Star; but once the hydrogen is exhausted and helium gets fused into carbon, the star "puffs-up" into a ‘red giant’.  The end of helium burning results in a collapse causing the formation of a ‘White Dwarf’, ‘Neutron star’ or even a ‘Blackhole’. 

 

‘BLACKHOLES’

‘Blackholes’ have been called the most bizarre type of object in our Universe.  They can be defined as massive dense objects with the strongest gravity.    Because not even light can escape a ‘Blackhole’, they are difficult to perceive, and they are generally identified by their effects in the space environment around them.  Their effects can be detected - for example, activities around a black hole causes temperature changes in their vicinity, these temperature variations can be detected with instruments from great distances. 

Rotating Black Hole with accretion disk

It has been the common belief that ‘BLACKHOLES’ are an un-avoidable presence in every Galaxy.  A presence with gravity so strong that it would suck everything in, even light itself, trapping-in all matter around it to its destruction. 

Furthermore, apparently while most ‘Blackholes’ are static, some have been expected to rotate, probably a consequence of the peculiarities surrounding its formation.  When that is the case, we talk about accretion disks, and I think the process could be compared to that of the sink-holes generated by ships when sinking, where a vortex of suction forms, as water replaces air in the sinking vessel.  (World Wide Web) 

Perhaps the most important element in the anatomy of a ‘Blackhole’ is what is generally called the "Event Horizon" or "static limit".  This threshold would be especially critical if we were to find ourselves travelling in space...  Anything approaching a ‘Blackhole’ would feel its pull inwards, while the "Event Horizon" can be described as the critical moment when that pull inwards can no longer be neutralized - a 'point of no return', where the pull of the ‘Blackhole’ can no longer be overcome. 

 

Static Black Hole

 

Different types of materials being pulled into the ‘Blackhole’ causes its GROWTH in size and in terms of its pull capabilities - eventually being able to trap and pull inwards to destruction entire planets and even SOLAR SYSTEMS.  Whenever mass gets pulled into a ‘Blackhole’, there is a release of gamma-rays, or x-rays indicating the destruction of such mass.  Outside 'the Milky Way' powerful x-ray sources are expected to be galaxies rich in ‘Blackholes’. 

 

NON-NATURAL BLACKHOLES

Stars do not transform into ‘Blackholes’ only as a consequence of their natural lifecycle.  The explosion of a star brought about by the use of laser-beams, destabilizing energy sources, or even weapons, would also launch the ‘Collapsar’ process described above. 

 

Once the process is launched, the dynamics described above would fall in place, and it would be with great difficulty that someone would be able to differentiate a natural ‘Collapsar’ from a non-natural one. 

 

BLACKHOLES AND THE HEALTH OF THE UNIVERSE

Large numbers of ‘Blackholes’, and the cumulative effect of their pulls on their surrounding environments, would have been critical in the ‘schools of thoughts’ of recent years as it refers to Galaxies in collision courses, and collapsing Universes. 

 

BLACKHOLE HEALING

It was in learning of the use of ionizadores in stabilizing ‘Blackholes’ by slowing down their destructive process, that I suggested the use of electricity instead.  It still seems as a natural progression, with no new element being introduced in the process.  The effects were remarkable in achieving a settlement of the disruption.  

 

This physical measure was coupled with an acknowledgement of other dimensions, in the rescuing of the star soul trapped in the ‘Blackhole’, a critical move in securing healing of the tear in the fabric of space.  In other words, the extraction of the plasma present inside the ‘Blackhole’ was facilitated prior to the application of electricity.

 

BLACKHOLES - A THING OF THE PAST

It was in the healing of ‘Blackholes’ that the stabilization of the greater natural environment hinged.  Our galaxy is no longer in a collision course with our neighboring galaxy ‘Andromeda’.  Our Universe is no longer expected to collapse, at least, not as a consequence of the combined pull of ‘Blackholes’. 

 

CONCLUSION

Be it a consequence of the natural evolution of Stars lifecycles in Space, or be it a consequence of evil actions of unknown perpetuators, the unavoidable tragedy brought about by ‘Blackholes’ is today no longer to be feared.  In some communities, the expectation of rescuing and rehabilitating the Stars' souls has brought hopes for the future of the communities in Earth, and hope for the health of our Galaxies and Universe.

Nora Rasenti - 3rd Address to the UNITED PLANETARY - 2020

 

It is certainly an honor to find myself addressing such prestigious organization once again, even though I have no conviction that any of the delegates that were present during my first address, two years ago, are present today.  Yet the problems that confront us certainly are still with me, even though we now have undoubtedly a very different insight and perspective; and some of us are beginning to believe we shall overcome.  My greetings to the members of the United Planetary! 

 

During my first Address to your prestigious Forum, I endeavored to establish some common ground.  And yes, right from the start of our history - we are all part of God’s Creation, and we all have a role to play and a contribution to make. 

 

I must apologize for the lack of formality during the second Address to your Forum, a year ago.  I was trying to overcome a personal situation – some family members that got hurt a couple of days before the Address.  That unpleasantness is now almost behind me, as they are recovering.  Yet I am hopeful that even in that context, our exchange was still a useful contribution. 

 

Even though I was confident that the information flow resulting from our exchanges would result in measurable improvements to our present situation, I found myself overwhelmed by the evidence of how much could be accomplished when working in cooperation with others. 

 

Among other issues, it has been possible to establish common blockages across geographical areas, and even species.  And as we highlighted in our last year’s Address, it has also been possible to verify that the PURSUIT OF POVERTY is used as a common denominator resulting in the disruption of economies and financial structures.  These conspiracies affect the political, as well as the spiritual and religious structures of our communities. 

 

A spirit of cooperation certainly makes every difficulty more surmountable.  However we need to accept that even though our people need to move outside the ‘harmful influence’, the influence is still among us. 

 

I was naive in my hope that fixing the planet's financial problems would soon free us to accomplish more effectively in other areas - when the local problems are interrelated with the greater economic structures around us, it can be expected this endeavor is not going to prove an easy undertaking. 

 

We need to come together behind a common purpose.   Overcome the cliché that suggests that we are too divided to succeed in charting a way forward.  The strategies of division are slowing everyone down and those that are standing in the way of progress should be identified and discouraged.  We need leadership that implements honest reporting, because just telling people what they want to hear does not aid decision making, which is critical at a time of crisis.  We need to be able to reclaim our future.

 

I would like now to quote from former U.S. President Barrack Obama's Inaugural Speech - “That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood.  Our nation is at war against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred.  Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age.  Homes have been lost, jobs shed, businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly, our schools fail too many -- and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.”  

     

We certainly should not find ourselves in the situation of having to choose between the security of our communities and the principles of our people.  In the midst of it all, our people, un-noticed in their efforts, have been endeavouring to bring us closer to goals of prosperity and freedom.  It should be the fairness of our cause that ensures our commitment and empowers the examples we try to set.    We should not vacillate in defending our way of life from those who seek to advance their goals by the use of violence.  Terrorism and the slaughter of innocents should not rate in today’s society. 

 

We want to meet these threats that confront us today, threats that we did not provoke, threats that we cannot ignore, and we cannot overcome without a greater degree of understanding and a greater commitment towards teamwork between allies. 

 

Our perception of a successful economy hinges in our capacity to have the funds to be able to provide for opportunities to everyone willing, which is something that has been perceived as the surest way to communal good.  

 

The economy is still a pivot element in precipitating and measuring change, and an economy that works for our communities is crucial.  We should not settle for anything less than real change, which should be measure in terms of its impacts in the day to day living of our communities. 

 

The day will come when the financial service providers entrusted with the public's money, will be held to account, and will find themselves empowered to conduct the businesses of our communities openly.  We look forward to our capacity to move in the direction of reforming "bad" habits, and we are being encouraged to spend wisely. 

 

We need an honest economy, an economy that is open and accountable – discouraging fraudulent activities that result in widespread poverty and deprivation.  In this regard, it is important that our people understand their commitments. It is important that information is provided to the stakeholders that make it possible for them to understand what it is that they’re signing themselves up for:  

 

·         rate changes to debt that has already been incurred should be ban;

·         unilateral changes to credit agreement should be unlawful; and

·         Interest on late fees should not be considered.  

 

These times of globalization and mass communication that enables business activities ‘far and wide’, increases the need to ensure that people get to pay what is fair, honestly calculated. 

 

Another aspect where honesty is at a premium is that of the food industry.  It constitute one of those areas where our efforts to better the quality have not been rewarded in kind, as our progress has been small.  But we remain hopeful, and look forward to the day when we can see our people’s health improved.  We also look forward to the day when we are able to share this with others.  The meat processing aspect of our food industry is still standing on the way of our capacity to communicate and relate more effectively with the rest of the communities around us.  I look forward to a time when all in our planet embrace vegetarian eating – the whole environmental community has endorsed this for many years.  But we are trying to change systems entrenched in our communities, which is a difficult but attainable endeavour. 

 

We acknowledge with gratitude our brave military personnel and their contributions and we respect them, not only as those safeguarding our way of life, but also because of their keenness to find significance in something bigger than themselves.   And we remain hopeful that the future generations will acknowledge our commitment to safeguard and pass on to them the gift of freedom. 

 

We also acknowledge that our diverse heritage is not our limitation, it is our wealth.  Even though we are shaped by different languages and cultures, there is no denying a thread of common purposes that has revealed itself, especially under the influence of the information that has become available in recent years.  While our challenges may seem new - if not the challenges themselves, certainly our awareness of them – it is our values and principles that remain fundamental.  There is no doubt that we could well find ourselves guiding-in a new era of peace. 

 

The pace of progress throughout our history has hinged on the strong foundation provided by our trust in the assurance that ‘God is counting on us to recover from an uncertain future’ (B.Obama).  We find ourselves working harder at an ever decreasing pool of jobs available.  We are earning less yet paying more for fundamentals like health and education.  Many of us have reached the realization that one income isn’t enough to support ourselves, let alone raise a family.  We are doing our part - our contributions to society are good, but the lack of progress is a consistent reality.  

 

It nurtures our hopes that we are communicating more effectively.  I have been specifically asked to describe some of the structures we refer to.  Our United Nations, for example, as a structure acknowledges and upholds the sovereignty of its members, and promotes local government structures in dealing with regional issues; yet it engages at an international level in matters that concern the communities that constitute it, while upholding human rights in a way that connects to the philosophical development of our human communities.  I would like to assume the United Planetary has a similar outlook, with a wider scope.  We should allow ourselves to look forward to a time when the small influences of our combined lobbying efforts start to solidify in concrete progress. 

 

In another order of things, I would like to participate your members that during the last year, I have been involved in radio broadcasting once a month.  The program is called “Nora’s Broadcasting Space” and I have taken advantage of this opportunity to share some of my blogs in technology on air, as well as some music.  But the bulk of my efforts have been towards reading a collection of books that I discovered in my teenage years. 

 

This is an INSERT from this collection written by acclaimed master story-teller, Isaac Asimov.  I have taken the liberty of compiling and summarizing some of the INTRODUCTIONS to the books, that I thought would be of relevance for the practicalities of today’s Address. 

---------------------------------------------

At the beginning of the thirteenth millennium, there were nearly twenty-five million inhabited planets in the Galaxy and the center of the Imperial Government was located towards the central regions of the Galaxy among the most densely populated and industrially advanced worlds of the system. 

 

There was a planet which was the center of the Galactic Empire and the kernel of the human race.  The jugular vein delicately connecting the forty billion inhabitants of the administrative hub of the Empire with the rest of the Galaxy - It could scarcely help being the densest and richest clot of humanity the Race had ever seen. 

 

The planet seeming to live beneath metal made it difficult to ascertain whether the sun shone, or, for that matter, whether it was day or night.  There were many planets which lived a standard timescale that took no account of the perhaps inconvenient alternation of day and night.  The rate of planetary turnings differs…

 

The ground was lost in the ever increasing complexities of man-made structures.   There was no green to be seen; no green, no soil, no life other than man.  There was no horizon other than that of metal against sky, stretching out to almost uniform grayness, over all the land-surface of the planet.   The busy traffic of billions of men was going on beneath the metal skin of the world.

Its urbanization, progressing steadily, had finally reached the ultimate.  All the land surface of the planet’s 75,000,000 square miles was a single city.  The population, at its height, was well in excess of forty billions. This enormous population was devoted almost entirely to the administrative necessities of Empire, and found themselves all too few for the complications of the task.  

 

It is to be remembered that the impossibility of proper administration of the Galactic Empire was a considerable factor in its Fall …

 

Its dependence upon other worlds for food and, indeed, for all necessities of life, made the planet increasingly vulnerable.  Daily, fleets of ships in the tens of thousands brought the produce of twenty agricultural worlds to its dinner tables ....  In the last millennium of the Empire, the monotonously numerous revolts made Emperor after Emperor conscious of this weakness…

 

The Empire to be found in the mighty multi-spiral that is the Milky Way had been falling for centuries before one man became really aware of this colossal fall.  That man was Hari Seldon, the man who represented the one spark of creative effort left among the gathering decay. He developed and brought to its highest pitch the science of psychohistory.

 

Psychohistory dealt not with man, but with man-masses.  It was the science of mobs; mobs in their billions.  It could forecast reactions to stimuli with confident accuracy.

 

The reaction of one man could be forecast by no known mathematics; the reaction of a billion is something else.  Hari Seldon plotted the social and economic trends of the time, sighted along the curves and foresaw the continuing and accelerating fall of civilization and the gap of thirty thousand years that must elapse before a struggling new Empire could emerge from the ruins. 

 

It was too late to stop that fall, but not too late to narrow the gap of barbarism. Seldon established two Foundations at "opposite ends of the Galaxy" and their location was so designed that in one short millennium events would knit and mesh so as to force out of them a stronger, more permanent, more benevolent Second Empire. 

 

The story of one of those foundations during the first two centuries of its life was originally published by Gnome Press in the year 1951 with the title ‘Foundation’.   On a planet at the extreme end of one of the spiral arms of the Galaxy, separated from the turmoil of the Empire, began a settlement of physical scientists that worked as compilers of a universal compendium of knowledge - the Encyclopedia Galactica - unaware of the deeper role planned for them by the already-dead Seldon.

 

As the Empire rotted, the outer regions fell into the hands of independent "kings." The Foundation was threatened by them. However, by playing one petty ruler against another, under the leadership of their first mayor, Salvor Hardin, they maintained a precarious independence. As sole possessors, of nuclear power among worlds which were losing their sciences and falling back on coal and oil, they even established ascendancy. The Foundation even went on to become the "religious" center of the neighboring kingdoms. 

 

Slowly, the Foundation developed a trading economy as the Encyclopedia receded into the background. Their Traders, dealing in nuclear gadgets which not even the Empire in its heyday could have duplicated for compactness, penetrated hundreds of light-years through the Periphery.

 

Under Hober Mallow, the first of the Foundation's Merchant Princes, they developed the techniques of economic warfare to the point of defeating powerful contenders, even when they were receiving support from what was left of the Empire. 

 

At the end of two hundred years, the Foundation was the most powerful state in the Galaxy, except for the remains of the Empire, which, concentrated in the inner third of the Milky Way, still controlled three quarters of the population and wealth of the Universe. 

 

It seemed inevitable that the next danger the Foundation would have to face was the final lash of the dying Empire. 

 

I have remained overwhelmed by the grandiose of this magnificent saga throughout my life; especially when confronted with the honor of meeting a few of the stakeholders of some of the events described.  I also wanted a number of our communities to embrace the realities of our greater environment, and the fact that we do not exist in isolation.  I became a committed fan of Hari Seldon in my youth, and even tried to direct my studies towards gaining greater understanding of his contributions, with difficulty as it was not really encouraged at the time.  Yet I must humbly submit that in view of the information that has surfaced in recent years, I have found myself re-assessing my opinion of some of the aspects of his contribution.  The new information reinforce his findings regarding the collapse of the Empires and civilizations in our areas; but this is, in my opinion, a consequence of the ‘harmful influence’ among us, and not the result of a natural progression.  This, while certainly not invalidating his Plan, should invite its re-assessment; keeping in mind the fact that we are not dealing with a political dispensation. 

 

The overall environmental situation has improved at the largest scale.  The black holes - a tear in the fabric of space, a consequence of the practice of destroying stars - were pulling the galaxies in ways that were collapsing the Universes.  I had the good fortune to be able to conceptualize a way to overcome this problem, incorporating both the physical and spiritual realms (“Nora Rasenti on Blackholes and the Health of the Universe”).  This development has certainly re-defined our prospects.  And yet, it is not enough… 

 

Even though the improvements in the environment are comforting, they do not constitute a solution to the underlying situation, and I hope that everyone takes the reprieve afforded by this contribution as an opportunity to monitor any unexpected changes in their environments. 

 

I asked our friendly invaders about their commitment to our destruction, they indicated the progression was outside their scope of influence.  They also indicated that once our sky collapses, they could look forward to millions of years of empty inactivity, hoping for a new cosmic egg, and creations more to their liking. 

 

We would appreciate being kept appraised of any developments that could affect our area and our communities. 

 

To quote once again from a speech by former US President Obama, the speech entitled ‘the American Dream’, delivered in the year 2007 - “There has been a lot of talk in this campaign about the politics of hope.  But the politics of hope doesn’t mean hoping that things come easy. It’s a politics of believing in things unseen; of believing in what this country might be; and of standing up for that belief and fighting for it when it’s hard. “ 

 

And in closing, I would like to quote once again from our founding fathers: 

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are LIFE, LIBERTY and the PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.  That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."

(Declaration of Independence July 4, 1776.) 

 

Let it also be acknowledged that rights can be curtailed LEGALLY - even when amid a culture upholding human rights - when individuals and/or nations engage in unlawful, criminal or terrorist activities. 

 

Finally, what could makes us one BIG family, is the realization that our hopes to overcome the challenges that confront us lays in our capacity to acknowledge our common destiny and hinges on the fact that we share a common HOME, and our commitment to rise above our challenges depend in our capacity to cooperate with each other, and in our ability to learn how to stand up and fight for our futures, and for each other’s futures.
