VFTS-243 Star to Black Hole Without Explosion – 12.46am Saturday 11th January 2024

Sometime ago, I began to refer to ‘the black hole phenomena’ making the point that I believe it’s very likely that this phenomena varies. Being the result of a mass and force, interacting with space, it occurred to me that what results can probably vary, possibly greatly.

My thought is that the black hole type object VFTS-243 that has been observed, is  different to the black hole type that reside in the central area of galaxies.

What comes to mind is implosion versus the outward explosion in this example.

Resulting in differing outcomes, yet an interaction of force with space that utilizes the same ‘phenonena’.

Because such a phenomena as black hole formation shouldn’t really be limited to a single result or outcome, when you think about it.

A simplistic example would be a pair of balloons, but they act differently because of what they are filled with, they look similar but one can float while the other can’t.

I tend to focus solely on the black holes that exist within galaxies, but I think it’s well worth exploring the possibility that they aren’t all the same object.
