Time for a new gnome by mainstream astrophysicists and their media lackeys … sleepy blackholes.

Mystery Gamma Rays Could Originate From Sleepy Black Holes, Astronomers Say

The most energetic light and particles in the Universe represent an enduring mystery: we don't know where they come from.

Sure, we can trace some; but there's more gamma radiation and neutrinos streaming through the Universe than we can account for. A lot more. And astronomers have just found an explanation for some of them: nearly dormant black holes.

This, they say, can explain the excess of 'soft' gamma rays in the Universe without relying on cold (nonthermal) electrons – which has always been a problematic explanation, because electrons become thermalized on timescales thought to be too short to generate high-energy particles.

Gamma rays and neutrinos are not exactly rare. Gamma radiation is the most energetic form of light in the Universe, and it has been detected at extraordinarily high energies – the teraelectronvolt range.

Neutrinos, or ghost particles, are almost massless particles streaming through the Universe, barely interacting with anything at all. Those, too, we've detected at high energies.

In order to obtain these energies, the photons and particles within them require the presence of a cosmic accelerator. These should be high-energy objects, such as supernova remnants, or a black hole actively devouring material.

But even once we've accounted for these high-energy sources, we're still left with a gamma-ray excess in lower 'soft' energies, as well as a neutrino excess, that is difficult to explain.

According to a team of researchers led by astronomer Shigeo Kimura of Tohoku University in Japan, the excess may come from an unexpected source: supermassive black holes that are almost, but not quite, dormant – but nor are they entirely active.

… snip …

According to Kimura and his team, the gamma-ray excess in the lower energy range – megaelectronvolts rather than giga- or teraelectronvolts – could be produced by supermassive black holes that are accreting at such a low level as to be much dimmer to our telescopes here on Earth.

The team performed calculations, and figured out how it would work.

LOL! Where have we heard that before?

Although there's less material swirling around these non-active black holes, there is still some, and it still gets heated up.
In fact, this hot plasma could get up to billions of degrees Celsius – hot enough to be generating gamma radiation in the megaelectronvolt range, or what we call 'soft' gamma rays.

So far, it's just a hypothesis, but the math checks out.

Again, where have we heard that before?

Armed with this information, astronomers should have a better idea of what to look for in future observations – and the mystery of those inexplicable gamma rays will be closer to being solved.

And since these sleepy, low accretion black holes are "too dim to see with telescopes on Earth", they're obviously going to need not just more observations, but bigger telescopes to make them. Ah yes … finally the pitch … give us more money.

Are you merely acting as a contrarian, or do you have an alternative hypothesis to offer that may explain the source of these particles at such high energy?

This is a forum about the electric universe and plasma cosmology. There have been plenty of discussions on this forum about the production of high energy particles by means other than "sleepy" black holes ... means that the mainstream simply dismisses out of hand and will not discuss in any fair manner? I'm a contrarian because I don't believe these mainstream liars and their gnome filled models any more than I believe the mainstreams models about global warming, climate change and conquering Covid-19. ALL are driven by agendas that have nothing to do with good science any longer.

And as far as the mainstream's cosmology is concerned, they've had more than half a century to produce *something* that actually proves the existence of the dozen or more gnomes they concocted to populate their imaginary universe ... that actually explain the things we see in the telescopes. They've spent tens and tens and tens of billions of dollars in their search, and for the most part they've proven NOTHING and they're no closer today to doing it than they were 50 years ago. They've stacked gnomes on gnomes on gnomes to create their so-called *models*, while at the same time totally ignoring basic observations that don't at all fit their gnomish beliefs.

I've watched this drama play out for more than 3 decades, Maol. I can remember a time not long ago when their cult priests were heaping scorn on those of us who suggested helically wound plasma filaments would be found to be ubiquitous in the universe. And now that they have been found everywhere they look, they still do not have a reasonable explanation for how they are created ... at least one that doesn't involve still more gnomes heaped on top of the existing gnomes. And none of them will acknowledge that plasma cosmologists predicted these structures 40 years ago and had models based on known physics to explain them. The sad truth is they aren't even trying to find logical explanations for such observations any more. In fact, as I've pointed out over and over, when observational difficulties, like galaxy-sized helically wound, rotating filaments are discovered, they quickly sweep them under the rug never to be mentioned by them again ... with the mainstream controlled gnome supporting media complicit in that coverup.

They do this because their agenda is not about good science. It's about MONEY, STATUS, and POWER. It's about soaking the public for every dime they can regardless of whether the *knowledge* they pretend to seek will have an iota's effect on even a fraction of our lives. It's about funding a great standard of living for all of them and their children. It's about remaining top dog in the hierarchy regardless of the truth. So yes, at this point I'm merely acting as a contrarian because I don't want us wasting any more money on their fruitless searches and creation of still more gnomes. I think one day humanity may look back on these people as the epicycle creators of our time. And laugh. But I don't laugh because I see the waste ... not just in money but in talent and time. And in opportunity costs. Who knows what we would have accomplished by now on a dozen different fronts if we weren't chasing gnomes.

And here’s an example of how eager they are to spend our money in their quest for the holy gnome, Maol ...

Lunar craters could reveal past collisions with ancient black holes

Black holes born in the big bang could be the dark matter physicists have sought for decades – if they exist. Now there's an audacious plan to find the scars they would have left as they punched through the moon

… snip …

As yet, there is no evidence that these black holes exist. But now, two physicists have come up with an audacious plan to change that. They want to scour the lunar surface in search of craters left behind as these black holes slammed into – and indeed through – the moon. “It sounds a little bit wild,” says Matthew Caplan at Illinois State University. “But you never know until you check.”

Wonder if he personally plans to go there and check?

[Maol]

Maybe he can hitchhike with Elon.

If these mini black holes have been perforating the moon they should have been punching through Earth too, perhaps he should start his quest by looking a little closer to home.
