’Bizarre’ Group of Distant Black Holes are Mysteriously Aligned

A highly sensitive radio telescope has seen something peculiar in the depths of our cosmos: A group of supermassive black holes are mysteriously aligned, as if captured in a synchronized dance.

Definition of the word “asterism”.
A chance alignment of celestial objects.

However, I would like to see a calculation of the probability of this chance alignment. It could be that not all of it is chance, if two or more of these galaxies picked up the same spin axis from the cloud of gas and dark matter that they evolved from.

Wouldn’t this last suggest that particles within even a system as nebulous as a gas cloud shares AM?

Within an ionised gas cloud that might actually be inevitable……

how bizarre

how bizarre

if the universe itself is spinning

all the black holes align with that spin?

we don’t believe so and observations so far say no, the universe isn’t spinning.

is it a limited number of black holes

or every black hole in every galaxy

just this small group.

Never heard what happened to the previous observation that many galaxies within a filament were ‘mysteriously’ aligned.

This stuff does have me wondering about the violence of both BB expansion and cessation. In particular I question whether particle pairing within such a scenario might have provided a venturi type mechanism against the expansion subsequently causing all particle pairing to occur within primordial BH’s that provided enough gravitational force upon the remaining expanding energy to effectively cease expansion as this energy begins to be absorbed by the newly formed matter at such a rate that the primordial BH’s are broken up into smaller and smaller pieces leaving the filaments we observe as trails of primordial BH destruction. Just a thought…….

Yes. This only happens if the distance within the gas cloud is not too large. For example if the angular momentum is too large for coalescence into a single galaxy.

There are sheer points for centrifugal load?

So hangon,.. shouldn’t that make gravitation the reconciliation of AM disparity and the equal but opposite reaction to centrifugal force?

Both being the result of spin alignment?

What do you mean by “sheer points”? If you mean separation due to centrifugal instabilities then yes. The transition occurs when the minimum energy stable state transitions from being oblate-shaped (bulging at the equator) to being peanut-shaped (with the axis of maximum density perpendicular to the axis of spin) with two or more centres of attraction. This first happens during spin-up as the gas starts to be attracted inwards.

> shouldn’t that make gravitation the reconciliation of AM disparity
No, Gravity acts towards the local centre of concentration. In a peanut-shape the two lobes act as separate centres of attraction, forming two separate galaxies. So for two galaxies formed from the same gas you would tend to get aligned galaxy spin.
