- 02:53: Its four meter ring collided electrons and positrons.

2020-06-30: Dissolving an Event Horizon

- 03:04: The time machine is on the other side of that ring, by the way.
- 03:09: The same rotation that f orms the ring also drags the fabric of space into a vortex which counters the inward pull due to the singularity’s mass.
- 03:51: Instead, there’s a smooth run of normal - albeit rapidly spinning space all the way down to the singularity ring.

- 04:54: The singular, central point has been spun out into a ring of infinite density.
- 05:14: ... through the inner horizon, or you can plunge through the singularity ring. ...
- 06:24: But within a Kerr black hole, the singularity is a ring, and the trillion balls would fall towards the disk bounded by that ring.
- 06:33: Only the ones exactly on the equator hit the ring and, those geodesics do end - same infinite squish as in a Schwarzschild black hole.
- 06:58: Before we take that outward ride, let’s push a little harder and try to get through the ring.
- 07:04: With a lot of speed - and I mean a LOT - it’s possible to overcome the anti-gravitational field in the middle of the ring and punch through.
- 07:17: ... ring is like a portal to a new, very different region of spacetime - and ...
- 07:34: For one thing, the ring singularity becomes entirely repulsive - as though it had negative mass.
- 07:50: For one thing, the lack of event horizons above you means the ring is a naked singularity, as well as being repulsive.
- 07:58: Surrounding the ring on this side is a toroidal region in which it’s possible to accelerate to infinite speed.
- 08:43: We’ll come back to how it can be avoided in the math - for now, let’s whip once around back to our own past and hop back through the ring.
- 09:39: Extending the Kerr metric from ring singularity into the future leads to something else.
- 13:35: They just don’t have the ring singularity leading to the bizarro-verse, so Kerr is more fun than Reissner-Nordström.

- 02:37: This final phase is called the ring-down – an expression comes from the analogy with a bell.
- 04:46: But what does the ring-down of a black hole really look like?
- 04:57: ... in order to see the overtones you’d need to look at the tail end of the ring-down, when the black hole was approaching a more spherical ...
- 05:20: The problem is, at the tail-end of the ring-down the LIGO signals are probably too weak to detect the overtones.
- 05:37: They looked for overtones in the ring-down from right at the point of black hole merger.
- 06:45: ... when the ringdown begins some of the overtones are actually stronger than the fundamental ...

- 01:46: We're seeing the heat glow of a giant ring of ice and dust 40 billion kilometers in diameter.
- 04:38: The Herschel and Alma images show very clearly that the ring has sharp edges, particularly that inner edge.
- 04:45: The leading idea is that newly formed planets carved out that ring with their gravity.
- 04:50: Check out Saturn's F ring.
- 05:22: So a planet passing along the inside of the dust ring overtakes each grain of dust and tugs them gently forward.
- 05:37: A planet passing along the outside of the dust ring pulls back on the dust.
- 05:47: Pushed outwards and inwards by the Shepherd planets, the dust ring boundaries sharpen between them.

- 04:21: If he's actually running against the ring's rotation, he would tend to curve upward and could levitate just by sprinting, instead of jogging.
- 05:11: You can minimize these problems with a bigger ring, since that'll require less rotation to get the same 1 g of surface gravity.
- 05:17: ... let's look at an extreme example of a big ring, Larry Niven's "Ringworld." The ring habitat in that novel has the same ...
- 05:51: To sustain 1 g, the ring would need to complete the equivalent of one Earth orbit around the sun in only nine days.
- 05:57: That's slow for Coriolis purposes, but it's really fast in terms of mechanical stresses in the ring.
- 06:12: But if you go too big, the mechanical stresses will destroy your ring.
- 06:16: So do any franchises have a ring size that finds a good balance between these two?
- 07:12: ... space station on "Babylon 5." The key is that "Babylon 5" abandons the ring shape altogether and makes a cylinder instead, one about 8 kilometers ...

- 02:49: ... as we gut check the physics of the following sci-fi examples-- "2001," "Ringworld," "Halo," and "Babylon 5"-- all which use rotation-induced artificial ...

- 05:31: ... achieve 1 g, Ringworld's rotational velocity would be small enough that, just like on Earth, ...
- 05:38: And to Niven's credit, he also correctly had hurricanes on Ringworld rotate vertically because the deflections would go like this.
- 05:48: But Ringworld has a different problem, namely composition.
