Today on Punk Science TV, we shall discuss the recent findings on asteroid, Bennu and how they relate to black holes.

A surprise

I was recently at a lecture about asteroids and the person presenting said that recent explorations of the asteroid Bennu threw up some major surprises. The asteroid, Bennu is intermittently ejecting material. You can see this quote from the director of the program here.

Why an asteroid is like a black hole

This was totally unexpected from the point of view of the astrophysicists. However, this pattern of intermittent ejection is totally in keeping with The Black Hole Principle.

I am really excited that this new evidence is pointing to asteroids also displaying Black Hole Principle behaviour.

No conventional explanation

Whilst I was in the meeting there was a discussion that the ejections were too powerful for them to be caused by the usual suspects.

Conclusion

This is just the start of asteroid exploration and already asteroids are showing signs of Black Hole Principle behaviour. It’s very exciting to see what the future holds. Perhaps we will start to pick up antimatter/ matter or light emissions from asteroids too. They have already picked up carbon on the asteroid in keeping with the concept that fossil fuels are actually created by this principle. Let’s see what happens in the future.
