  1. Re:How much of a star falls into a black hole? on Massive Black Hole Devours Star · · Score: 1

    What a wonderful coincidence to look foolish. But note the quote "10% of its mass is turned into energy and radiated as X-rays" so 10% is X-rays, but doesn't speak to the rest of the spectrum.

  2. How much of a star falls into a black hole? on Massive Black Hole Devours Star · · Score: 1

    I'm still looking for diligent answer to my StackExchange question: http://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/8294/how-much-of-a-star-falls-into-a-black-hole

    Arbitrary masses for the star and black hole should be fine, as you should be able to obtain a percentage of the star that is "DEVOURED!!11" and then create a line chart of the behaviors of stars and black holes with varying masses.

    This seems important just to know, but also to make predictions for the Black Hole model.

    Then again, I'm too dumb to answer my own question, so what do I know? :)

    "Electrical Circuit Between Saturn and Enceladus"

    http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/cassini/multimedia/pia13765.html

    With this example in mind, consider Saturn having an electric circuit between every single body within its field.

    Replace Saturn with the Sun and the moon with Saturn.

    Replace the Sun with "black hole" of our galaxy and Saturn with our Sun.

    There are most likely intermediate steps between our Sun and the black hole...

    Regardless, with this model, it is assumed that as the Sun moves through it's parents variable EM field, and the differences are moderated down to us through the Sun, electrically, back to Earth. And Saturn.
