WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A GRAVITATIONAL WAVE MEETS A BLACK HOLE??

Blog#459

Wednesday, December 4th, 2024

Welcome back,

When two things in the Universe that “always” occur meet one another, how do you know which one will win? Gravitational waves, for example, always pass through whatever they encounter: empty space, dark matter, gas clouds, plasma, dust, planets, stars, and even dense stellar remnants like white dwarfs and neutron stars. They carry energy, which they can deposit into objects they affect, deforming and distorting space (along with everything in it) as they pass through.

Nothing ever seems to stop gravitational waves, with the only alterations to “unperturbed propagation” coming from the effects of distorted spacetime due to the presence of masses and the expanding Universe.

But on the other side of the coin, we have black holes, which have an event horizon: a region from within which nothing can escape. So when the immovable object meets the irresistible force, who wins? While gravitational waves can be emitted from outside the event horizon of merging black holes, if something takes place inside the event horizon, it cannot escape.

So what happens, then, if a propagating gravitational wave generated by a black hole-black hole merger runs into another black hole: one that didn’t play a part in the generation of those waves?

The two main options you’d likely consider are that it could pass though the black hole the way it passed through everything else, or it could be swallowed and absorbed by the black hole, adding to its mass/energy. Here’s how to puzzle out which one would actually occur.

Let’s start with black holes: objects that are not to be trifled with in the Universe. When you’re far away from a black hole’s event horizon, it appears to behave just like any other ordinary mass in the Universe. From the location of Earth, for example, the gravitational effects that we experience from our Sun are indistinguishable from the ones that would be generated by:

a white dwarf,

a neutron star,

or a black hole,

of the same exact mass.

We would still experience the same orbit, with the same speed, the same period, and the same elliptical pattern (and even the same level of relativistic precession) that we experience from our Sun. The only differences that would be perceptible would appear when we looked in the vicinity of the Sun (or whatever replaced it) itself. The bending of background starlight, along with all other forms of matter and radiation, is intensified the closer and closer you get to a compact, massive object: regions that are currently obscured by the disk of the Sun.

Other than the distortion of space from the innermost ~1 degree closest to the center of the Sun, where the curvature of space is most severe, there are no other detectable differences.

But that inner region of space matters tremendously when we consider the impact it has on absorbing various types of matter and radiation. For example:

the Sun, being an opaque object, would absorb everything that it interacts with, like protons, neutrons, electrons, and photons, but would be transparent to particles like neutrinos and antineutrinos,

white dwarfs, being opaque but much smaller than the Sun, would have a much smaller cross-sectional area (perhaps only ~0.01% that of the Sun) but would still be opaque to protons, neutrons, electrons, and photons, and due to its density would begin absorbing a small fraction of the neutrinos that strike it,

neutron stars, even smaller and denser than white dwarfs, have a much lower area over which they absorb protons, neutrons, electron, and photons, but will absorb ~100% of the ones that strike it, along with up to ~50% of the neutrinos (and antineutrinos) that pass through its diameter,

and black holes absorb absolutely 100% of everything we know of that touches or crosses its event horizon.

From a black hole, if you’re an energy-carrying entity, there ought to be no escape.

"HOW TO DESTROY A BLACK HOLE????"

[apod]

2023 September 12

Galaxy Cluster Abell 370 and Beyond Image Credit: NASA, ESA, Jennifer Lotz and the HFF Team (STScI)

Explanation: Some 4 billion light-years away, massive galaxy cluster Abell 370 is captured in this sharp Hubble Space Telescope snapshot. The cluster of galaxies only appears to be dominated by two giant elliptical galaxies and infested with faint arcs. In reality, the fainter, scattered bluish arcs, along with the dramatic dragon arc below and left of center, are images of galaxies that lie far beyond Abell 370. About twice as distant, their otherwise undetected light is magnified and distorted by the cluster's enormous gravitational mass, overwhelmingly dominated by unseen dark matter. Providing a tantalizing glimpse of galaxies in the early universe, the effect is known as gravitational lensing. A consequence of warped spacetime, lensing was predicted by Einstein almost a century ago. Far beyond the spiky foreground Milky Way star at lower right, Abell 370 is seen toward the constellation Cetus, the Sea Monster. It was the last of six galaxy clusters imaged in the Frontier Fields project.

Two things:

Do you think "English" as a name for topspin relates to black hole stuff?

Do you think "Lord English" as a synonym of "Huge Bitch" might bring us back to Problem Sleuth, where Mobster Kingpin became a black hole by concentrating his mass in a corset?

it certainly could? intuitively, an "English" spin applies to the billiard ball, and not the hole - but I guess in homestuck (and in astrophysics?) those are doubles for the same thing...

this is way above my pay grade, but a black hole's spin actually does have a lot to do with its physics: in particular, a black hole has to be spinning in order to act as a gateway to infinite parallel universes. so it's not like this line of thinking is totally divorced from what we're talking about.

to a layman, the science surrounding this stuff is obtuse to put it mildly, but the above video is a great visualisation of a bunch of the more arcane applications of black holes in relativity. spinning black holes in particular come up at the 29 minute mark.

the only way the "umbra" in Calliope's trolltag has ever made sense to me is as a reference to a psychological "umbra", or shadow - i.e. a "uranian umbra" is your gay split personality, so to speak. but since "uranian" has a double meaning (a WEALTH of double meanings, really, since "Urania" was also one of the mythical muses) it stands to reason that "umbra" should also have some hidden astronomical aspect as well... in which case, is there anything a "spinning shadow" could be OTHER than a black hole??

on the Kingpin: it's all a little over my head, sorry... if we're talking about a "bitch" that's so "huge" it distorts spacetime I can only think of the Vast Expletive which "rung through the cosmos" with information "encoded in its wavelengths", like some kind of gravitational wave. but if we're talking about Lord English and wearing corsets, the mind can only travel toward crossdressing and genderbending. in which case, by wearing his girl-version's corset and becoming a black hole, Mobster Kingpin kind of embodies his own "uranian umbra"? ha ha ha.

Monitoring 68 pulsars with very large radio telescopes, the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) has uncovered evidence for the gravitational wave (GW) background by carefully measuring slight shifts in the arrival times of pulses. These shifts are correlated between different pulsars in a way that indicates that they are caused by GWs. This GW background is likely due to hundreds of thousands or even millions of supermassive black hole binaries.

Teams in Europe, Asia and Australia have also independently reported their results today. Previously, the LIGO and Virgo detectors have detected higher-frequency GWs from the merging of individual pairs of massive orbiting objects, such as stellar-mass black holes. The featured illustration highlights this spacetime-shaking result by depicting two orbiting supermassive black holes and several of the pulsars that would appear to have slight timing shifts. The imprint these GWs make on spacetime itself is illustrated by a distorted grid.

[mariacallous]

A team of physicists has discovered that it’s possible to build a real, actual, physical warp drive and not break any known rules of physics. One caveat: The vessel doing the warping can’t exceed the speed of light, so you’re not going to get anywhere interesting anytime soon. But this research still represents an important advance in our understanding of gravity.

Moving Without Motion

Einstein’s general theory of relativity is a tool kit for solving problems involving gravity that connects mass and energy with deformations in spacetime. In turn, those spacetime deformations instruct the mass and energy how to move. In almost all cases, physicists use the equations of relativity to figure out how a particular combination of objects will move. They have some physical scenario, like a planet orbiting a star or two black holes colliding, and they ask how those objects deform spacetime and what the subsequent evolution of the system should be.

But it’s also possible to run Einstein’s math in reverse by imagining some desired motion and asking what kind of spacetime deformation can make it possible. This is how the Mexican physicist Miguel Alcubierre discovered the physical basis for a warp drive—long a staple of the Star Trek franchise.

The goal of a warp drive is to get from A to B in the time between commercial breaks, which typically involves faster-than-light motion. But special relativity expressly forbids speeds faster than light. While this never bothered the writers of Star Trek, it did irritate Alcubierre. He discovered that it was possible to build a warp drive through a clever manipulation of spacetime, arranging it so that space in front of a vessel gets scrunched up and the space behind the vessel stretched out. This generates motion without, strictly speaking, movement.

It sounds like a contradiction, but that’s just one of the many wonderful aspects of general relativity. Alcubierre’s warp drive avoids violations of the speed-of-light limit because it never moves through space; instead space itself is manipulated to, in essence, bring the spacecraft’s destination closer to it.

While tantalizing, Alcubierre’s design has a fatal flaw. To provide the necessary distortions of spacetime, the spacecraft must contain some form of exotic matter, typically regarded as matter with negative mass. Negative mass has some conceptual problems that seem to defy our understanding of physics, like the possibility that if you kick a ball that weighs negative 5 kilograms, it will go flying backwards, violating conservation of momentum. Plus, nobody has ever seen any object with negative mass existing in the real universe, ever.

These problems with negative mass have led physicists to propose various versions of “energy conditions” as supplements to general relativity. These aren’t baked into relativity itself, but add-ons needed because general relativity allows things like negative mass that don’t appear to exist in our universe—these energy conditions keep them out of relativity’s equations. They’re scientists’ response to the unsettling fact that vanilla GR allows for things like superluminal motion, but the rest of the universe doesn’t seem to agree.

Warp Factor Zero

The energy conditions aren’t experimentally or observationally proven, but they are statements that concord with all observations of the universe, so most physicists take them rather seriously. And until recently, physicists have viewed those energy conditions as making it absolutely 100 percent clear that you can’t build a warp drive, even if you really wanted to.

But there is a way around it, discovered by an international team of physicists led by Jared Fuchs at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. (The team is also affiliated with the Applied Propulsion Laboratory of Applied Physics, a virtual think tank dedicated to the research of, among many other things, warp drives.) In a paper accepted for publication in the journal Classical and Quantum Gravity, the researchers dug deep into relativity to explore if any version of a warp drive could work.

The equations of general relativity are notoriously difficult to solve, especially in complex cases such as a warp drive. So the team turned to software algorithms; instead of trying to solve the equations by hand, they explored their solutions numerically and verified that they conformed to the energy conditions.

The team did not actually attempt to construct a propulsion device. Instead, they explored various solutions to general relativity that would allow travel from point to point without a vessel undergoing any acceleration or experiencing any overwhelming gravitational tidal forces within the vessel, much to the comfort of any imagined passengers. They then checked whether these solutions adhered to the energy conditions that prevent the use of exotic matter.

The researchers did indeed discover a warp drive solution: a method of manipulating space so that travelers can move without accelerating. There is no such thing as a free lunch, however, and the physicality of this warp drive does come with a major caveat: The vessel and passengers can never travel faster than light. Also disappointing: the fact that the researchers behind the new work don’t seem to bother with figuring out what configurations of matter would allow the warping to happen.

The Future of Gravity

On one hand, that’s a gigantic letdown. We already have plenty of methods for traveling slower than light (rockets, walking, etc.), so adding one more to the list isn’t all that exciting. Plus, even if we wanted to build this warp drive, the gulf between this hyper-theoretical work and an actual, physical propulsion mechanism is the same as the difference between writing down Newton’s laws and building a Falcon 9.

But that doesn’t mean this new development isn’t interesting. We don’t fully understand gravity, and we know that Einstein’s theory is incomplete. One of the signposts that we have to a future understanding of gravity is the fact that general relativity allows for interesting, exotic solutions—like warp drives—that appear to violate other domains of physical understanding.

Us physicists like it when all of our theories line up and agree on the nature of the Universe. So if the energy conditions set real limits on physics—limits where things like negative mass don’t just not exist, but can’t exist—then we’d like a physical theory that says that from the beginning, instead of relying on add-ons like the energy conditions.

Exploring how a warp drive might (not) work, and under what conditions and restrictions, is a step in that direction. For years physicists thought that the energy conditions outlawed all kinds of warp drives, yet the new research shows a possible way around that. What comes next will be a win no matter what; whether we get a fancy superluminal warp drive or not. That’s because whatever comes out of future lines of inquiry along these directions, we’re going to learn more about the force of gravity, and just possibly revolutionize our understanding of it.

And who knows what we’ll get once we understand gravity better.

An animated look at how spacetime responds as a mass moves through it helps showcase exactly how, qualitatively, it isn’t merely a sheet of fabric. Instead, all of 3D space itself gets curved by the presence and properties of the matter and energy within the Universe. Multiple masses in orbit around one another will cause the emission of gravitational waves, while any light passing through a region that contains this distorted spacetime will be bent, distorted, and possibly magnified by the effects of curved space

[some-pers0n]

Tell me about an interest you have that you don't really talk abt on this blog

Astronomy of course! I seldomly do get to share my interest about it, but it'd be nice to do so. What to talk about though...hm...I suppose black holes are fun. I always like basic review of them

So, some extremely basic ground work. Black holes are points in spacetime where there is so much gravity that light cannot escape. Everything has mass, and due to the concept of relativity, mass effects how time and space are formed. An object with mass have a gravitational field, where smaller masses are impacted by it. This is why we rotate around the sun, because the earth's mass is far less than the sun. Black holes have so much mass that it even wavelenghts (including light, the fastest thing in the universe we know), are unable to resist its strength. However, this mass is heavily compressed down to a single singularity. Infinite density and all that. A black hole can be tiny yet still have incredible mass. If the mass of the moon (7.35x10^22 kg) was turned into a black hole, it would be about 0.2mm in diameter.

For some basic formulas, we have the Schwarzchild radius formula: 1/c^2(2G) x M, where c is the speed of light, G is the gravitational constant, and M is mass. Only 1 variable in this one, since c and G are constants. This formula calculates how much an object needs to be compressed in order to turn into a black hole. The sun for example has a Schwarzchild radius of roughly 3km while the earth is of about 1cm. All that mass compressed into a tiny little object. This by proxy means that a black hole the size of something close to a planet alone is utterly massive in mass. The Schwarzchild radius also defines which parts of the black hole are, well black, as it's a complete absence of light. It's where light falls into, never to be seen again

Black holes are formed by two main ways: super massive red giants going supernova and compressing their cores so much that they just turn into black holes, or two neutron stars (which can also be the byproduct of red giant supernovas) colliding. Supernovas result from this and create pretty cool star dust stuff. Hey did you know that carbon is created by supernovas and by proxy everything on earth is formed by stardust because we're all carbon-based life forms? Probably, but I just think it's kinda neat

Anyways, other stuff about black holes. To simplify why the whole "space-time is distorted around black holes" thing it's just another relativity bit. So like picture this: a mountain range. You are standing atop one mountain and about a 1km away from where you're standing right now is another mountain peak. Between the mountains is a pretty deep basin with a forest in it. If there was a bridge connecting the two, it would take far less time to travel between than it would if you had to go down the mountain you're first on, walk through the forest below, and then climb up the second mountain to reach the peak. The depth of the basin in this example would be the mass of the object and the mountain peaks just being the beginning and end destination. Now, if this was a black hole, the basin would just be an unfathomably deep pit. Not endless, but it looks so because you're just a mortal being gazing into something that, by all accounts, seems like an anomaly in spacetime. If you get a bit too close to the edge, you're gonna slip and fall and not have a good time and probably most definitely die in a pretty horrific way. Fun!

Hawking radiation is another thing you probably definitely know about. Hawking radiation is just simply just particles of the black hole being created and sometimes destroyed, which overtime erodes the mass of the black hole. Of course, for a black hole to be fully gone it would take so long that the number of years is just kinda. mind boggling. It's wild how we got lucky with evolution and were able to comprehend the world around us and interpret it since we're trying to understand all of this stuff running off of animal hardware. What fun

String theory (well, more like hypothesis) is another funny goofy bit. Y'know like protons and neutrons right? Quarks too? String theory is just essentially positing about what if there was something smaller than quarks. It says that there are strings of energy that are smaller than anything else, constantly vibrating. If they vibrate one way, they become a proton. If they vibrate another way, they become an electron. So on and so forth. It gets complicated in due part to string theory being invented to bridge the gap between relativity (study of big things being big) and quantum mechanics (study of small things being small) due to stuff like black holes existing (small thing with big mass) as well as these strings vibrating through 9 different dimensions. It's kinda impossible to prove and you'll see people arguing about the validity of it. It was mainly popular in the 80s/90s but has severely fallen off. String theory is what people mean when they say that the universe and everything within it "sings" btw lol

Anywho I'd ramble more but ehh I gotta snack on something first

[white-collar-cannibal]

okay so i wrote a comical amount for a mutual's essay prompt that i'm probably never going to post cause it isn't finished and i don't think i actually said very much but. but. i do want to talk about . characters as physics models. characters as wave-particle duality between their canon versions and non-canon interpretations. characters having peaks and nodes in their potential energy surfaces defining how they can and cannot exist. characters' desires as masses that distort spacetime.

[obiternihili]

is there a sense where *everything* moves at c, it's just that things with mass distort spacetime enough for their events to happen slowed enough to look like they're happening at less than c?

idk i'm probably thinking in terms of photon box popsci too much

but like in its most elementary kind of way i'm imagining a massive fermion being like a knot in a few fields and a massless boson wave kind of hitting it, having to go through the convolutions of it, and then being reemitted. Since it has a longer path to take it appears to have been slowed even if it ultimately hasn't. And then that's complicated when the knot itself is rolling through the fields. So it's kind of photon-box like with the toy fermion being the box and the toy boson being the photon.

WHAT IS THE THEORY OF GENERAL RELATIVITY??

Blog#337

Wednesday, October 4th, 2023

Welcome back,

General relativity is physicist Albert Einstein's understanding of how gravity affects the fabric of space-time.

The theory, which Einstein published in 1915, expanded the theory of special relativity that he had published 10 years earlier. Special relativity argued that space and time are inextricably connected, but that theory didn't acknowledge the existence of gravity.

Einstein spent the decade between the two publications determining that particularly massive objects warp the fabric of space-time, a distortion that manifests as gravity, according to NASA.

To understand general relativity, first, let's start with gravity, the force of attraction that two objects exert on one another. Sir Isaac Newton quantified gravity in the same text in which he formulated his three laws of motion, the "Principia."

The gravitational force tugging between two bodies depends on how massive each one is and how far apart the two lie, according to NASA Glenn Research Center.

Even as the center of the Earth is pulling you toward it (keeping you firmly lodged on the ground), your center of mass is pulling back at the Earth. But the more massive body barely feels the tug from you, while with your much smaller mass, you find yourself firmly rooted thanks to that same force.

Yet Newton's laws assume that gravity is an innate force of an object that can act over a distance.

Albert Einstein, in his theory of special relativity, determined that the laws of physics are the same for all non-accelerating observers, and he showed that the speed of light within a vacuum is the same no matter the speed at which an observer travels, according to Wired.

As a result, he found that space and time were interwoven into a single continuum known as space-time.

And events that occur at the same time for one observer could occur at different times for another.

As he worked out the equations for his general theory of relativity, Einstein realized that massive objects caused a distortion in space-time. Imagine setting a large object in the center of a trampoline.

The object would press down into the fabric, causing it to dimple. If you then attempt to roll a marble around the edge of the trampoline, the marble would spiral inward toward the body, pulled in much the same way that the gravity of a planet pulls at rocks in space.

In the decades since Einstein published his theories, scientists have observed countless of phenomena matching the predictions of relativity.

We asked Elena Giorgi, an assistant professor of mathematics at Columbia University a few commonly asked questions about general relativity.

What is general relativity?

General relativity is a physical theory about space and time and it has a beautiful mathematical description. According to general relativity, the spacetime is a 4-dimensional object that has to obey an equation, called the Einstein equation, which explains how the matter curves the spacetime.

What force is explained by general relativity?

General relativity explains gravity, and in this theory, it is not really a "force" anymore. The gravitational field comes out of the description of general relativity as a result of the curved spacetime.

When was the theory of general relativity established?

General Relativity was established in 1915 by Albert Einstein and the first solutions to the Einstein equation were found already in early 1916.

Is general relativity proven?

General relativity has passed all the experimental tests so far, but its applicability is expected to break down when [the] effects of quantum mechanics (the theory of the very small particles) should become dominant

[messier45-suporte]

Fall of the Archons

I had some doubts about posting this intel as it may be shocking to some people, but I was nevertheless instructed to do so. Events of the last few days have further convinced me that now is the time to release this. I am not posting this to spread fear, but to inform. If we are aware of the situation, our unified consciousness will be able to transmute and dissolve it. This is a fairly complete picture of the state of affairs between the light and dark forces and of the ultimate victory of the Light.

25,000 years ago, dark forces created quarantine Earth and took humanity hostage. They created a virtual reality control system so nobody could escape. They have trapped Light beings who have a connection with the Source, to fuel this virtual creation.

This virtual reality control system is still in place to an extent and is usually referred to as the Matrix. On the physical plane, the control is maintained through Orion-Babylonian type debt-based financial system slavery and through mass media mind programming. On the etheric, astral and mental planes, the control is maintained with electromagnetic spacetime distortion chambers similar to those used in Philadelphia experiment. Those chambers create an illusion of a closed loop system that appears to be eternal and this is the reason why so few beings have been able to be set free / liberated / enlightened.

The Matrix is run by beings, called Archons (Greek for rulers). They are beings that came from the Andromeda Galaxy and chose to experience darkness. They refused to reconnect with the source. Through millennia, they created Draconian and Reptilian race through genetic engineering  to use them as slave warriors to expand their dark empire.

Planet Earth is the last planet of this dark empire to be liberated. There are very few Archons on planet Earth left.

On the etheric and astral planes, they are known as Lords of Karma. They are the ones that to a great extent decide the life path of anybody that incarnates. They choose our parents and to some extent determine our life conditions. This programming system is known as karma. With advance wave-form generating technology on the astral plane they manipulate astral currents of planetary energies and use them for malevolent astrological influences. They maintain the distorted spacetime structure with implants  that have created spacetime black hole anomaly, thus confusing human mind and emotions. Implants are programmable crystals that were put into mental, astral and etheric bodies of every single human being on Earth with strong electronic devices.

On the etheric and lower astral planes, their Draconian administrators maintain the artificial intelligence technology that keeps the Matrix in place. It has an alert system so if an awakened being creates a hole in this Matrix with his Light, Draconians send a Reptilian slave warrior to exert pressure on the psychological weak spots of that awakened being to lower his vibration and thus close that hole. Also, those Reptilian slave warriors constantly exert pressure upon the mind and emotions of incarnated human beings on Earth in order to prevent their spiritual growth and to suppress their fight for freedom. If that is not enough, they also send amoeba-like elemental beings that put additional pressure. All those negative beings usually hide in folds of distorted spacetime structure on astral and etheric planes:

Their power is in fear and hidden agendas. They lose all power in the face of light, truth and courage. If we are aware of all this without fear, the light of our consciousness will straighten those folds in spacetime structure and all those negative beings will be removed from astral and etheric planes of planet Earth: http://www.ascensionhelp.com/blog/2012/01/31/never-call-them-archons/

On the physical plane the Archons are incarnated within Jesuit organization and they spiritually control their administrators (Draconian Illuminati that run the financial system), their warriors (Reptilian mercenaries that protect the Illuminati) and their slaves (humanity that works for them in their 9-5 jobs). Through Jesuit societies and 33rd degree Freemasons they hold the Illuminati structure together. This structure is now finally falling apart.

Invasions of the Archons

There were three main invasions of the Archons and their subjugated races such as Draconians and Reptilians from outer space in known human history. All of them happened both on physical and spiritual planes.

The first one is Kurgan invasion that happened around 3600 BCE. Dark beings entered through Caucasus dimensional portal.

Their purpose was to destroy peaceful Goddess worshipping neolithic cultures that thrived in neolithic Europe. They wanted to destroy veneration of the Goddess since feminine energy is our direct connection to the Source: http://www.public.iastate.edu/~cfford/342Chalice.htm

The second one is Khazar invasion that happened around 393 CE. Dark beings used the same Caucasus dimensional portal:

The purpose of this invasion was to destroy mystery schools, Christian gnostic groups and nature worshipping paganism and replace those with Christian cult mind programming. This programming was enhanced with creation of virtual reality hells on the lower astral plane, which were then used by the Church to strengthen its position.

The third one is Congo invasion that happened in 1996. Dark beings entered through war-torn Congo, Rwanda and Uganda. Main focus of this invasion was on the etheric and lower astral plane. The purpose of this invasion was to destroy new age and ascension movements and to reinforce the Matrix that was already beginning to disintegrate in 1995 as a result of mass awakening on Earth. Most beings are not aware of this invasion as their memories about the Light that was present on Earth before 1996 were erased with intense implanting sessions between 1996 ad 1999.

Victory of the Light

After the 11:11:11 portal activation in November last year, the Matrix is finally falling apart. Immediately after that, events were set into motion (Keenan lawsuit) that will finally result in our ultimate liberation. This time there can be no invasion of Archons from outer space, since planet Earth is the last one to be liberated.

The decisive battle is expected to happen around the Venus transit portal on June 5th.  We are already within the timeframe of that decisive turning point. Although the victory of Light is ensured and all negative timelines have been erased, we need to be extremely vigilant.

Archons on the astral plane will continue to exert pressure on the psychological  weak spots of the key players of the positive forces on Earth to create divisions and conflicts between them. This serves their purpose to diffuse our focus into petty quarrels and away from our focused intent of taking down the Cabal. We need to release those conflicts and refocus immediately. Liberation consciousness stream is strong enough to override Archon influence, but they are still powerful enough to create unnecessary delays. Mass arrests of the Cabal are not physical operation only, they need spiritual support so that when they happen, human masses will not panic.

At a certain point, energies of the Galactic Central Sun will burn through all obstacles of the Matrix on the astral and etheric planes and all negative entities will be removed. They will be replaced with angels and spiritual guides as one prophecy beautifully states: The Net Must Come Down, It Ends, Light Enters

The final step is simply taking down the net. This has to be done and events will then quickly follow.

The One will put forth all that energy to destroy the net itself and events will kick in almost immediately.

The programs will have no place to hide, no portals, no equipment, nothing. They will be led off and the weather pattern of luminosity will begin.

The distorted images of galaxies are due to the gravitational lens in between

But what are gravitational lenses?

Every mass has a spacetime curvature associated with it and when light bends by some angle say when it gets into this spacetime curvature we say that the light is being lensed by the lens of gravity, I mean a gravitational lens. This technique is what Arthur Eddington had used to verify general relativity. This experiment was conducted during a solar eclipse for background starlight to get visible .in a nutshell, the experiment was to calculate the apparent shift in the position of stars when they are accompanied by the sun's gravitational lens. The result was that the stars had their position shifted from the normal. Newtonian gravity could never have predicted it. There is not only the spacetime curvature that affects the path of light but also the frame-dragging effect. Frame dragging effect is basically a drag in spacetime that results from the rotation of the planet or any star or a black hole. Due to the combined effect of the spacetime curvature and the frame dragging effect one may get to see the interesting patterns of galaxies and stars whose light encounters this lensing. An interstellar object, say which is beyond some star or planet, due to which it's normally not visible to the observer, may also start getting visible when it gets into gravitational lensing.

Here, the distorted image of the galaxy is due to the lensing by some interstellar object.

Black Holes are black, making them hard to identify from the surrounding dark universe, but the effect of lensing they have on a surrounding light of a star or a galaxy makes them detectable. Gravitational lenses can be used as the agents of the telescopes to see distant objects. Also, it reveals the other side of an interstellar object which one cant normally see or say without lensing.

Yes, according to the theory of general relativity, an electron field does exist within spacetime, as any form of energy, including the energy contained within an electric field generated by an electron, can contribute to the curvature of spacetime; essentially meaning that the electron's field "distorts" the fabric of spacetime around it, although the effect is usually very small due to the electron's tiny mass. 

Key points to remember: 

Electromagnetic fields and spacetime:

In Einstein's theory, electromagnetic fields, including those created by electrons, are considered a form of energy that can warp spacetime. 

Quantum Field Theory perspective:

In quantum field theory, an electron is viewed as an excitation of the "electron field" which permeates all of spacetime. 

Gravitational effect:

While the curvature caused by an individual electron is minuscule, the collective effect of many charged particles can become significant.

[we can construct a diagram in which the bubble of light, which grows as time passes, forms a cone. This cone widens from the past to the future, and inside of it, we trace a trajectory through time]

[in one year, light will always travel a distance of "one light year" through space]

[this type of object is called a light cone. as time passes, the cone expands at the speed of light, and whatever we do, our path remains bounded by it, it's impossible to escape it]

["causality", the fact that one event can trigger another, is limited by the speed of light]

[we cannot turn around because we are bound to remain within these lightcones]

[ "time", in the relativity, is simply the direction in which the light cones are oriented]

[space on the other hand is the set of all other directions, perpendicular to time]

[gravity affects not only matter, but also light]

[close to a massive body, the light cones are no longer aligned with each other:they curve more and more, bent by gravity near a massive body, the direction of the light cones curves…and in another words, "time" is bent towards the center of the planet]

[mass distorts the geometry of the universe, space and time become relative, their orientation depending on where we are, this is "general relativity" the more massive a body, the more it bends spacetime]

[a black hole is a spherical region of the universe, a sort of bubble, in which the curvature of space-time drives all objects towards the center. the boundary of the black hole is called the "horizon"]

[while the distant observer sees the black hole as stationary, for the astronaut at the horizon,time and space are tilted, such that the black hole behaves like a light cone, which explains why it is impossible to escape]

[when astronaut crosses the horizon, the notions of time and space seem swapped around compared to the outside:time is now pointing downwards - which, before, was a direction through space - the horizon of the black hole is no longer a place in space, but a moment in our past, and the center of the black hole is no longer a point, but an event in our future, a destiny we cannot avoid]
