#ergosphere

[deadwooddross]

Some more Idul explorations...working on figuring out common skin tones, featuring one of my personal favorites: the butter face in a dark turtleneck. The plant life on the Idul's planet is on the red side, think dark oranges to the sort of purplish red-black some plants have. Sort of a dark autumnal look. Patterns and overall colors can vary a lot of course, but you would most often see the darkest skin in the plains, the penguin-like colors in the tundras and taigas and the orange in the forests. I don't think they tan, and they have a fairly aggressive sun that's brighter than ours, so their coloration correlates pretty heavily with skin protection. In fact being fungus people, those with very dark skin might actually metabolize radiation in addition to being highly resistant to it. those with orange skin would be considered very pale, and should cover up in open areas if out by daylight. Their faces on the other hand are almost universally lightly colored and covered in something like very dense, very short fur. It would have a sort of soft velvety feel, like when a mushroom has grown some mycelium over itself. Next up is to figure out patterns....I have some thoughts about stripes and spots...

Mare Cognitum - "Ergosphere" From the album An Extraconscious Lucidity (September 25, 2015)

[charseraph]

would love to hear more about your Sundown setting, if you're open to posting more about it! The quiet after the show...

Sundown is an aging universe finding itself sleeping more and more. Most of the stars that will ever be born are dead and their remnants cooling. Dark energy flings galaxies apart at breakneck pace. Space is littered with megastructures by extinguished civilizations. Whether they ended in war or not, they are surrendered now, and there is peace forever.

One focus character is an orphaned Dyson sphere managed and inhabited by a corporate seedlet. Her stellar core is depleted into a magnetar, and she has since adapted to subsist efficiently on its energy. The object, named Campfire, is among the last awake consciousnesses. She made contact with a distant seedlet and exchanges digital letters with him.

Ergospheric turbines, known as waterwheels, harvest energy from the spin of black holes. With no name other than an industrial serial alphanumeric, one of these turbines persists on a black hole destined to not evaporate for another few trillion years. The minimally sapient operator seedlet, whom Campfire calls Waterwheel, sends his surplus energy to a far away depot to be received by no one.

Another character is a circumgalactic ring serving as a hub for FTL cross-supervoidal lines called bolts. It communicates with its nearest stations, struggling with the growing duration of pauses.

The setting aesthetically pulls from an idea of BLAME!-scale structures in a There Will Come Soft Rains situation with Incoboto-like atmosphere.

The Penrose process:

(also called Penrose mechanism) is theorised by Sir Roger Penrose as a means whereby energy can be extracted from a rotating black hole. The process takes advantage of the ergosphere --- a region of spacetime around the black hole dragged by its rotation faster than the speed of light, meaning that from the point of an outside observer any matter inside is forced to move in the direction of the rotation of the black hole.

In the process, a working body falls into the ergosphere. At its lowest point the body fires a propellant backwards; however, to a faraway observer both seem to continue to move forward due to frame-dragging (albeit at different speeds). The propellant, being slowed, falls to the event horizon of the black hole. And the remains of the body, being sped up, fly away with an excess of energy.

The maximum amount of energy gain possible for a single particle decay via the original (or classical) Penrose process is 20.7% of its mass in the case of an uncharged black hole (assuming the best case of maximal rotation of the black hole). The energy is taken from the rotation of the black hole, so there is a limit on how much energy one can extract by Penrose process and similar strategies (for an uncharged black hole no more than 29% of its original mass; larger efficiencies are possible for charged rotating black holes).

CAN WE HARNESS THE ENERGY OF A BLACK HOLE??

Blog#339

Wednesday, October 11th, 2023

Welcome back,

A remarkable prediction of Einstein's theory of general relativity -- the theory that connects space, time and gravity -- is that rotating black holes have enormous amounts of energy available to be tapped.

For the last 50 years, scientists have tried to come up with methods to unleash this power.

Now, in a U.S. National Science Foundation-funded study published in Physical Review D, physicists Luca Comisso of Columbia University and Felipe Asenjo of the Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez in Chile have found a new way to extract energy from black holes by breaking and rejoining magnetic field lines near the event horizon, the point at which nothing, not even light, can escape a black hole's gravitational pull.

"Black holes are commonly surrounded by a hot 'soup' of plasma particles that carry a magnetic field," said Comisso. "Our theory shows that when magnetic field lines disconnect and reconnect in just the right way, they can accelerate plasma particles to negative energies, and large amounts of black hole energy can be extracted."

The U.S. National Science Foundation-funded research results could allow astronomers to better estimate the spin of black holes and possibly discover a source of energy for the needs of an advanced civilization, Comisso said.

Comisso and Asenjo built their theory on the premise that reconnecting magnetic fields accelerates plasma particles in two different directions. One plasma flow is pushed against the black hole's spin, while the other is propelled in the spin's direction and can escape the clutches of the black hole. That releases power if the plasma swallowed by the black hole has negative energy.

"It is like a person could lose weight by eating candy with negative calories," said Comisso, who explained that essentially a black hole loses energy by eating negative-energy particles. "This might sound weird," he said, "but it can happen in a region called the ergosphere, where the spacetime continuum rotates so fast that every object spins in the same direction as the black hole."

Inside the ergosphere, magnetic reconnection is so extreme that the plasma particles are accelerated to velocities approaching the speed of light.

While it may sound like the stuff of science fiction, mining energy from black holes could be the answer to our future power needs.

"Thousands or millions of years from now, humanity might be able to survive around a black hole without harnessing energy from stars," Comisso said. "It is essentially a technological problem. If we look at the physics, there is nothing that prevents it."

Added Vyacheslav Lukin, a program director in NSF's Division of Physics, "The ideas and concepts in this work are truly fascinating, as is the potential translation of these studies of black hole astrophysics into the practical realm."

"WHATS INSIDE THE MOON??"

[https-entity]

GenderBlackHole

This is a gender identity derivative from GenderVoid and Agender. The place of the Gender you feel that it is a void, there's nothing in your gender place, you can't feel gender, but you can explain it as a Black Hole.

To make you understand this Genderlessness, let's use the anatomy of a Black Hole

The black hole is separated into 4 parts but can sometimes have 5 parts

The Accretion Disk - This is full of matter in the form of gas and dust. It's like a big gas cloud. As it moves, it releases ultraviolet rays, infrared rays and x-rays, which are other types of light that we cannot see.

And because of the x-rays that we detected the first black hole. When we look at a black hole with equipment that detects x-rays, we can see beyond the light, we see temperature.

The Ergosphere - Which is where the matter that is about to disappear into the hole keeps always spinning in the same direction, just like water around a drain.

The Event Horizon - There is the border where what we can observe and what we cannot. Any matter in the ergosphere that goes beyond the event horizon can no longer escape gravity, this will be swallowed into the black hole where it will never be seen again.

The Singularity - It's like a dark star. And that's what causes that massive gravitational field of a Black Hole. That has so much mass in such a small space that the density of this is mathematically infinite.

X-Ray Pulses/Relativistic Jet - Some black holes have x-ray pulses, which are emitted by gas that appears to be escaping from them, but it just seems like an impression. Scientists believe that these pulses comes from accretion disk material who managed to gather speed to escape gravity before getting too close to the black hole

And what does this have to do with this genderlessness?

Simply put: this genderlessness has a structure similar to that of a black hole.

Black Holes are the things that are most related to the Void itself, since there's nothing known inside them beside their singularity (which is the why its a Black point)

This genderlessness can feel connected with existing genders that could be them, but they cannot explain the void nor fill the void. It can be the gases being the genders/fragments of the genders that the genderlessness feel connected or just liked that where attracted them because liked them and use them as a label.

But while at the center (the singularity) is a void, a hole. This genderlessness is not demi, but the person wants to use the labels and feel connected to them, but their gender is a void.

While the Relativist Jet is their gender presentation. Be they presenting themself as a man or a woman or just in a non-binary way.

Everyone is free to remake the flag to make it more accessible or just use it on other gender systems like genderfuckoff and others. Just remember to remain it void.

Also, it is NOT a Xenogender, so please don't tag as such.

STATUS

Retired

Jackal Queenston was an alias under the Halley Labs label. He is a hybrid of a jackal and a German shepherd, who was often seen smoking and wearing attire originally inspired by the Nazi Party and other WW-II era uniforms, as time went on, JQ's outfit would slightly change to reflect less of its original appearance, with the Nazifur symbol being replaced with an X as a homage to Metal Slug, to the armband and hat badge being completely removed. He typically produced drum and bass, characterized by heavy bass lines, fast drum breaks, and dark themes alluding to violence or power.

Jackal Queenston originally debuted as a new character for the Mungyodance series, with songs first appearing in an official Addon Pak for MGD 2 and then MGD 3: The Third Rave, released on August 23, 2008. His first album, Rise, included several songs originally made for the Addon Pak.

Due the rise of Neo-Nazism on the internet, no possibility to redesign this character without connection to offensive content, and the restrictions of the alias's sound, Jackal Queenston was retired around the end of 2020.

Fun facts :3

Jackal Queenston is 5'7" and weighs 150 lbs. [citation needed]

The 'X' insignia seen on Jackal's armband is an homage to the Rebel Army from the video game Metal Slug.

This change was made by Squeedgemonster, who eventually removed the armband in other art. Em agreed to these changes. [1]

Before Squeedge's Metal Slug homage, in older artwork it is seen that Em wanted Jackal's armband to have an paw insignia, depicting that Jackal is a Nazi Fur.

Jackal's markings used to be that of a golden jackal, but were changed later on to show more resemblance to a German Shepherd.

Jackal may hold the record for songs that were later attributed to another alias, with Amber Starlight (re-attributed to The Queenstons), Sleep Tight (re-attributed to Adraen), Soulcrusher + Heartsifter (both re-attributed to G-DARIA, Darius' stylistic predecessor. They were originally collaborations with Sonitus Vir). Poison & After Effect (both re-attributed to Azrael, as collaborations between the two), and My Wolf Eats Preps (re-attributed to Renard). Humanoid was originally a Jackal song (It is still available on ON Trax Vol. 1), but it was later re-released with vocals on The Queenstons' album Figurehead.

Em has expressed that Jackal Queenston is due for a design overhaul to completely be rid of looking like a Nazi. [2]

Full name: Jackal A Queenston

Sex: Male

Date of Birth: April 20, 1986

Country: Germany

Province: Saxony

City: Dresden

All the current music work for the Starbound mod "Ancient Cosmos".

Some tracks are not included, but are prototype tracks. Each track is meant to be based off of a track already in base Starbound, but with a lot of changes to them.

You can tell what my favorite track in starbound is.

[foxgirlchorix]

Thousands of kilometres beneath the ergosphere, there is still light. Not true light, no- that follows its own paths, ever-downward. But the eternal consumption of light may only mean the warping of non-light. The light of mind, ever-sparking and flitting between the rooms of its palaces, may travel quite freely. Not out, perhaps, but who would ever wish to speak to that benighted realm once more?

[timberwind]

opinions on how you can always find a (unstable) circular orbit around a black hole no matter how fast you are going?

Prefacing this with a disclaimer that I have basically no in depth knowledge of the physics of black holes aside from like, vague ideas about hawking radiation and ergospheres lol

I thought that was only true of rapidly rotating black holes, because of the whole relativistic frame dragging thing they have going on? I was distinctly under the impression that non-rotating black holes have an inner boundary where all unpowered circular orbits with periapses inside inevitably spiral inwards past the event horizon.
