Re: quark black holes







Thats not a black hole. All it is doing is putting another level of
degenerate matter into the equation

White dwarfs - electron degenerate
Neutron Stars - neutron degenerate
Quark stars - quark degenerate
Black holes

However nature abhors free quarks, asymptotic freedom and all that. So
this would truly be an exotic state of matter - but it would NOT be a
black hole.

"AMERICAN ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY


Tiniest particles star of conference :







Black holes may be made up of the smallest particles in the universe,
according to a University of Calgary researcher.
"People thought neutron stars are the last stage before the black hole,"
said astrophysics professor Rachid Ouyed. "Well, it turns out there's
possibly something in between called a quark star."
About a dozen other astrophysicists are studying the same theory. They
listened intently as Ouyed presented his hypothesis Monday at the 208th
American Astronomical Society meeting in Calgary.
More than 400 scientific papers will be presented over the week. So far,
the giant science fair has drawn more than 600 stargazers to the Telus
Convention Centre.
Ouyed said that as a star becomes denser, its building blocks get smaller
because of the gravitational pressure. Eventually, they are reduced to free
quarks, the smallest things there are.
It has long been thought the densest stars are made out of neutrons. Many
scientists believe that once neutrons get super tight, they form a black
hole - a gravitational force so strong that it sucks up everything around
it, including light.
Comprised entirely of free quarks, the star would measure only 15
kilometres in diameter. If proven true, the theory could change the way
scientists think about our skies.
"It's exciting because we're learning about the tiniest things in the
universe," said Ouyed. The next step, he said, is finding concrete evidence.
