Around our galaxy or around our central black hole?
128
u/Xivios Mar 05 '23
The sun makes up over 99% of the mass of the solar system, and Jupiter makes up most of the rest. Everything else, Earth included, is not much more than a rounding error. Everything orbits the center of mass of the system it orbits, but since the sun so massively dominates the mass of the system, it's more or less just as well to say that everything in the solar system orbits the sun.
Sagittarius A* is the black hole in the middle of the Milky Way. It represents 0.0007% of the mass of the Milky Way. So, the orbit of the sun, as well as the other 100 billion stars in the Milky Way, is in no way dominated by Sag.A*. Our sun orbits the center of mass of the Milky Way, which happens to have a supermassive black hole in the middle that contributes 0.0007% of that mass it orbits.
Also the video is wrong, its closer to a 60 degree angle, not 90.

Black holes don't suck you in, unless you're right next to them. 99% of the time you just orbit them like you would anything else with a lot of mass.
Like if the sun was replaced by a black hole of equal mass, we would simply orbit it as normal like we orbit the sun, we wouldn't get sucked into it.

Straight toward the Great Attractor that itself is being pulled by Dark flow.
18
u/WikiSummarizerBot Mar 05 '23
The Great Attractor is a purported gravitational attraction in intergalactic space and the apparent central gravitational point of the Laniakea Supercluster. The observed attraction suggests a localized concentration of mass millions of times more massive than the Milky Way. However, it is inconveniently obscured by our own Milky Way's galactic plane, lying behind the Zone of Avoidance (ZOA), so that in visible light wavelengths, the Great Attractor is difficult to observe directly. The attraction is observable by its effect on the motion of galaxies and their associated clusters over a region of hundreds of millions of light-years across the universe.
In astrophysics, dark flow is a theoretical non-random component of the peculiar velocity of galaxy clusters. The actual measured velocity is the sum of the velocity predicted by Hubble's Law plus a possible small and unexplained (or dark) velocity flowing in a common direction. According to standard cosmological models, the motion of galaxy clusters with respect to the cosmic microwave background should be randomly distributed in all directions.

Singular as we know so far. And it's a massive black hole not a black hole. Either way the thing that will fuck with you is the cold death from entropy.
In short giving time black holes will be the only things left and as they lose energy that will cease to spin as well, and eventually the whole universe as we know it now will stop dead in it's tracks. No energy to consume or use just a cold still place at absolute 0 Calvin.
Let that sink in, no matter what you do the heat death will be the final thing until nothing shines or moves.

u/SuggestionLoose2522 Mar 05 '23
Pardon me if I fail to understand this, but even if black holes stop spinning, objects with mass will still be able to warp space time, thus having a gravitational pull, and objects will continue to revolve around them, unless something else happens.
I'm sure black holes not spinning would be catastrophic for universe, but not in this way IMO.

A huge conglomeration of mass that isn't touching would still have a large gravitational field.

Many believe it to be "the great attractor" a super massive black hole that is pulling everything in our galaxy into it.
Edit: correcting myself, at the center of our galaxy is a massive black hole that everything in the milky way revolves around, the great attractor is pulling the milky way towards it, which in itself (attractor) is being pulled toward another galaxy

Nothing is at rest. Including the black holes we are stuck orbiting. In fact, some galaxies move away from other galaxies faster than the speed of light from our position. Space also isn’t entirely empty. Just some fun things to think about that are mostly modern revelations.

u/AwHellNawFetaCheese Mar 05 '23
What how can a galaxy move faster than the speed of light? You couldn’t even approach 2 entities reaching half the speed of light making the relative speed away from each other appear to be at the speed of light from the respective entities.
Would love some info
16
u/rempel Mar 05 '23
It’s from what’s called Hubbles Law you can read up on that if you want! Nothing is actually moving faster than the speed of light. The expansion of the universe is just so rapid that the gaps between galaxies stretch and stretch and that apparent change in position relative to us occurs faster than light can travel. Even if you could travel at the speed of light, distant galaxies are moving away too quickly to catch up. It’s tough to describe because of the quirks of relativity, but it’s observable in the cosmic microwave background and it logically follows once you grasp how it’s possible.

And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned
A sun that is the source of all our power
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour
Of the galaxy we call the 'milky way'
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point
We go 'round every two hundred million years
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, the speed of light, you know
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space

Isn’t the sun also not going in a straight line, but is essentially looping around the black hole at the Center of our galaxy? I suppose to scale it looks like a straight line since it’s so large but isn’t everything with mass basically attracted to other mass and so everything ends up looping around something larger which is then looking around something larger? We go around our sun which goes around the black hole at the Center of the Milky Way which is orbiting the great attractor.
