• If we throw something up from the earth, it will fall
 back




                                Peter Watson
• If we throw something up from the earth, it will fall
 back

• Throw it at 11 km/s and it escapes




                                Peter Watson
• If we throw something up from the earth, it will fall
 back

• Throw it at 11 km/s and it escapes
• But if the escape velocity is the speed of light c,
 nothing can escape.

• But if the escape velocity is the speed of light c,
 nothing can escape.

• If the earth was 4 mm in radius, it would be a Black
 hole

• One way to see a black hole: it’s black!
• If we are really lucky....(or unlucky) as a gap in
  the sky

• Stuff falling in will become very hot and produce X-rays
• Cygnus X-1: visible star ~20 mass of sun
• Invisible object M~9Mo
• Power output in X-rays is 10,000 x total power output by
 sun!

• If we look at it with radio waves, see very
 intense source at centre




                              Peter Watson

• The stars there are swirling round something
 10 million times as heavy as the sun

• All galaxies seem to have a huge black hole at the centre




                                 Peter Watson
• And this is maybe where it is happening now:
• Two galaxies have collided and the black holes seem
 to be coalescing

• So what do huge things like galaxies have to do
 with tiny things like protons?

• We don’t understand gravity
• e.g take two electrons

• One way out:
• Maybe space has more dimensions than 3:
• This would make gravity much stronger at
 short distances:

• This is true, then we will get a new kind of

If



• Very small
• Very short-lived
• This is what it might look like at in ATLAS

 decay (easy come, easy
 go!)

• but better: nature has been
 doing this experiment for
 14 billion years with cosmic
 rays

• and we are still here!

 dimensions

  • 15. • If we throw something up from the earth, it will fall back • Throw it at 11 km/s and it escapes Peter Watson
  • 16. • If we throw something up from the earth, it will fall back • Throw it at 11 km/s and it escapes • But if the escape velocity is the speed of light c, nothing can escape. Peter Watson
  • 17. • If we throw something up from the earth, it will fall back • Throw it at 11 km/s and it escapes • But if the escape velocity is the speed of light c, nothing can escape. • If the earth was 4 mm in radius, it would be a Black hole Peter Watson

  • 20. • One way to see a black hole: it’s black! • If we are really lucky....(or unlucky) as a gap in the sky Too Close to a Black Hole Credit & Copyright: Robert Nemiroff (MTU)< Peter Watson
  • 22. • Stuff falling in will become very hot and produce X-rays • Cygnus X-1: visible star ~20 mass of sun • Invisible object M~9Mo • Power output in X-rays is 10,000 x total power output by sun! Peter Watson

  • 24. But there are much bigger black holes around Peter Watson
  • 25. But there are much bigger black holes around • This is the Milky way, showing the whole sky Peter Watson

  • 27. • If we look at it with radio waves, see very intense source at centre Peter Watson
  • 28. • which gets brighter as we zoom in Peter Watson
  • 29. • The stars there are swirling round something 10 million times as heavy as the sun Peter Watson
  • 30. • The stars there are swirling round something 10 million times as heavy as the sun Peter Watson
  • 31. • All galaxies seem to have a huge black hole at the centre Peter Watson
  • 32. • And this is maybe where it is happening now: • Two galaxies have collided and the black holes seem to be coalescing Peter Watson
  • 33. • And this is maybe where it is happening now: • Two galaxies have collided and the black holes seem to be coalescing 3C75 X-rays from Chandra Peter Watson
  • 34. • So what do huge things like galaxies have to do with tiny things like protons? • We don’t understand gravity • e.g take two electrons Peter Watson
  • 35. • So what do huge things like galaxies have to do with tiny things like protons? • We don’t understand gravity • e.g take two electrons Peter Watson
  • 36. • So what do huge things like galaxies have to do with tiny things like protons? • We don’t understand gravity • e.g take two electrons There are attracted gravitationally Peter Watson
  • 37. • So what do huge things like galaxies have to do with tiny things like protons? • We don’t understand gravity • e.g take two electrons There are attracted They are repelled gravitationally electrostatically Peter Watson
  • 38. • So what do huge things like galaxies have to do with tiny things like protons? • We don’t understand gravity • e.g take two electrons There are attracted They are repelled gravitationally electrostatically However the electric force is 4000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 larger Peter Watson

Peter Watson
  • 40. • One way out: • Maybe space has more dimensions than 3: • This would make gravity much stronger at short distances: Peter Watson
  • 41. If Peter Watson
  • 42. If Peter Watson
  • 43. • This is true, then we will get a new kind of black holes If • Very small • Very short-lived • This is what it might look like at in ATLAS Peter Watson
  • 44. • This is true, then we will get a new kind of black holes If • Very small • Very short-lived • This is what it might look like at in ATLAS Peter Watson
  • 46. • How do we know they won’t grow and escape and consume the world? Peter Watson
  • 47. • How do we know they won’t grow and escape and consume the world? • The theory that predicts them predicts they will decay (easy come, easy go!) Peter Watson
  • 48. • How do we know they won’t grow and escape and consume the world? • The theory that predicts them predicts they will decay (easy come, easy go!) • but better: nature has been doing this experiment for 14 billion years with cosmic rays • and we are still here! Peter Watson
  • 50. • SO if they exist, the world has 3..4 or 5 or 6 dimensions Peter Watson
  • 51. • SO if they exist, the world has 3..4 or 5 or 6 dimensions • Thanks to Don Monet, John Flynn for the invitation Peter Watson
