Black Holes May Be Covered in Vortex Structures According to New Study

In this video, Anton discusses a new proposition involving quantum physics and black holes. This is based on the concept of Bose-Einstein Condensates (BECs), an unusual state of matter which occurs when certain gas particles (such as helium) are cooled down, causing their wave functions to interact and behave as a single object. This quantum behavior differs from classical physics and exhibits unique phenomena when spinning, like forming vortices with patterns akin to a crystal lattice. Scientists believe these vortices may help explain phenomena such as super fluidity and superconductivity. Some propose that black holes might be unusual quantum states of matter, and the hypothetical particle graviton, a type of boson, could create BECs similar to the ones mentioned, particularly when spinning. The resulting vortices could lead to observable effects like powerful magnetic lines. This hypothesis suggests that fast-spinning black holes could be stable and not emit Hawking radiation, trapping magnetic field lines within the vortices. Observations of such magnetic fields in certain galaxies may be evidence of these spinning quantum black holes. Along with mass, charge, and spin, vorticity could be a fourth property of black holes if they indeed exhibit quantum features like BECs. This topic requires further testing with future observations of extremely distant, spinning black holes.
