Is a black hole winking at us?
A Galaxy named 1ES 1927+654 became the object of attention for astronomers when it went through a 40-fold increase in brightness in March 2018.
They started discussing ‘winking black holes’. In this article, we discuss what is meant by that and what is really going on.
Ordinary no more?
What was thought to be an ordinary black hole at the centre of a galaxy was surprising scientists who turned their telescopes to study it further.
After that initial brightening, the Black Hole then dimmed, getting 10,000 times less bright in less than a year. It has since become brighter again. Hence the idea that it is winking.
Why so fast?
Current orthodox scientists believe that such changes should happen over thousands of years – but this black hole changed by a factor of 100 over the course of eight hours.
One of the foremost theories for what is going on is that a star has collided with the region around the black hole.

Mainstream Scientists believe that a star colliding with the area around a black hole is causing it to ‘wink’.
Mystery Solved
However, by understanding, The Black Hole Principle, the mystery is solved. This predicts that the material ejected from the black hole fluctuates in an unpredictable pattern
The Black Hole Principle
We don’t need to evoke any violent or weird situations to explain this. Already mainstream scientists have told us about the amazing abilities of black holes to burp and gobble and they are now saying that they can wink.
It’s simply not necessary if you understand the black hole ‘winking’ as a natural consequence of the process at the edge of our reality.

Fast Radio bursts are one of the biggest mysteries in science today.
You may have heard of them because scientists are so stumped as to what is causing them that they are inventing all sorts of theories. Even that they could be alien communications!
So that’s what we are looking at in this episode of Punk Science TV.
An unexpected signal
In 2007 a scientist named Duncan Lorimer was looking over old data from the 1990s for new insights on pulsars when his student found a huge spike that everybody else had missed.
It was a burst of radio waves that had so much power in a short time that it would have taken the equivalent of all the energy of the solar system to produce them.
It wasn’t very certain if they were an artefact or not but after a while, scientists were finding more of these Fast Radio Bursts or FRBs and they are one of the biggest mysteries of space.
Characteristics of FRBs
What we know about FRBs
1. They emit huge amounts of energy in a short time – we are talking about thousands of a second in some cases.
2. They are coming from various places in the universe including our own galaxy.
3. They can sometimes repeat themselves after days or even hours.
Sometimes the source becomes quiet and we haven’t seen them repeat yet.
4. FRBs come in different strengths.
Alien Radio?
Explanations that have been put forward have included everything from alien communication to neutron stars colliding. We also have a favourite – they are being emitted from objects called Magnetars which are like neutron stars with strong magnetic fields.

(And let’s not forget – these are made-up objects anyway to try and explain the effects we see in space! We haven’t actually seen them directly.)
Chasing the Gamma Rays to the Black Hole
Well, we are now tracking the source of the FRBs and have found that Gamma Ray bursts and X-rays are found in the same area at around the same time.
These are barn door characteristics of The Black Hole Principle.
1. You have the power emitted in a short amount of time, much more than can be explained easily. That’s because the energy is entering into our dimension from infinity.
2. The seemingly random patterns – emission over seconds, hours, days, months or even years can be possible.
It’s the breathing process of the black hole principle that can seem random to us.
3. FRBs are coming from all over space which would be expected as BHP is fractal in nature.
4. And they are associated with gamma-ray bursts and X-rays which I have long spoken about as the consequence of the antimatter, matter and light cycle at the edge of the black hole.
The Black Hole Principle
There are lots of types of energy emitted by BHP and this includes microwaves and radio waves.
Easy and Effortless
You don’t need any weird explanation for FRB. The universe is effortless. It breathes at every level.
So does this mean there are no aliens in space? No! But you don’t need to evoke aliens to explain FRBs when you understand the Black Hole Principle. It all becomes easy.

We are used to comets having long tails but recent investigations show us that comets give off fine jets, but why?
The Old Picture of Comets
We tend to think of comets as snowballs in the sky with long tails.
Ancient people used to think that they were signifiers of doom.
But it’s only in recent years that we have been able to study them in more detail because the European Space Agency has sent probes to various comets.
New Surprises
And what they found was a big surprise.
Instead of just one long tail as the comet nears the sun, comets actually give off jets of vapour and dust including water vapour.

These can also be accompanied by an increase in brightness.
The video above contains another image of a comet with jets spinning through space.
Too much power
At first, people thought that these plumes must be caused by the sun which heats up ice and gases beneath the surface.
But these plumes erupt with so much power that there must be another energy source involved.
Black holes and comets
Of course from the perspective of The Black Hole Principle, we would expect comets to give off jets intermittently including water vapour.
That’s because the same process is happening at different scales from a galactic black hole to even a comet.
Just as black holes give off intermittent jets, so do comets.
I hope you have enjoyed this episode of Punk Science TV.

Have scientists found evidence of a parallel dimension in Antarctica? Recently a story went viral that scientists had found evidence of a parallel dimension in which time travels backwards.
So this is what we are looking at today on Punk Science TV: Mystery Neutrinos, Antarctica and Parallel dimensions
Code-named ANITA
NASA has an instrument – a high -altitude helium balloon fitted with Radio antennas. It’s a called ANITA and it’s designed to pick up the signature of the interaction of cosmic rays from space with the Earth.
And by 2016 two incidents of high energy cosmic rays were found but they were coming up from the Earth not down from space.

The Mystery Neutrinos
I am not a physicist but this is what I understand – there are many different types of particles including ones called neutrinos. There are some which interact very weakly. But the ones detected by ANITA in Antarctica are high energy neutrinos that actually have a wider cross-section so do bump into things.
This is why people are puzzled by what happened because for these particles to be detected by ANITA as coming out of the Earth, they would have to come down from space then back up from the Earth again.
And the physicists think that for these particles that would be impossible as they could not have made their way through the Earth through all that rock. That’s why this is such a big deal as it defies what we know about physics.
A radical solution
Neil Turok of The Perimeter Institute was reported by New Scientist as putting forward a radical solution. The particles coming up from the Earth are actually from a parallel dimension where time runs backwards. So in this model, the particles are really coming from space but we are seeing them coming up from the Earth as it is all running backwards.
That report in the media went viral.
What’s really happening?
But is there another explanation? I noticed that these types of particles have been detected before but that time they were traced to be coming from a black hole in the centre of a galaxy one that also sometimes gives off jets at the speed of light and gamma rays.

Hmm! So The Black Hole Principle says that every single aspect of the universe behaves in the same way only at different scales – from supermassive black holes to stars and even the Earth. So the centre of our planet should be capable of producing particles in a similar way to a galactic black hole.
The Black Hole Principle
I even made a previous video about this some years ago. So according to the Black Hole Principle we expect cosmic rays to come from the Earth as at the centre of the Earth is a mini black hole dynamo doing much the same things as larger ones just smaller.
Problem solved!

Conventional Scientists believe that black holes burp on their food! In this episode of Punk Science TV, we explore this concept.
A Ridiculous idea
Scientists tend to think of people like myself as spouting a load of New Age spiritual nonsense. In some cases such as when the word ‘ quantum’ is bandied about amongst healers with no real mind to its actual context in physics, these accusations may have a case.
However, there are times, when mainstream scientists are the ones who come across as ridiculous. So in this example, we are discussing the concept of burping black holes.
The wrong monster
As you may know, the prevailing concept amongst mainstream scientists is that black holes are these great devouring monsters that tear apart stars and anything else that comes too close.
However, once the actual evidence began appearing, it became clear that black holes are visible because they are so bright and that also give off a lot of energy and material.

Burp after the feast
Unable to give up their long-cherished notions that black holes are destructive monsters, these jets that are being emitted from black holes are then turned into ‘burps’.
The idea is that the black hole has feasted and then burps on its food.
This is lazy science.
The Projection game
Rather than realise that their concepts and theories do not match the evidence, they invent ‘burping’ black holes. Human characteristics are being projected onto objects in space as a way of coping with behaviour we don’t understand.
We understand that humans sometimes burp after eating a big meal so we have projected that onto black holes in order to avoid the thorny issue that, according to their own theories, nothing should escape a black hole.
Jets are predicted by The Black Hole Principle
Intermittent jets streaming from black holes are exactly what we would expect in The Black Hole Principle which says that black holes are creative.
We do not need to project any nonsensical ideas onto black holes if we understand that they are just a natural part of the universe unfolding.
