Key issue: Is there a small black hole behind the sun ?

Applied Selection Theory

To determine which known black hole exhibits the most influence over Earth, we need to consider both the mass of the black hole and its distance from Earth. In the case of the hypothetical black hole with the Sun's mass placed on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth, we have a unique scenario that could potentially have a significant impact on Earth's orbit and the solar system as a whole.

Let's compare the influence of this hypothetical black hole to that of Gaia BH1, the closest known black hole to Earth:

Hypothetical black hole with the Sun's mass:

Mass: 1 solar mass (M_Sun ≈ 1.989 × 10^30 kg)

Distance from Earth: Approximately 2 AU (299,195,741.4 km)

Sphere of influence: Extends to about 2 AU, creating a gravitational boundary with the Sun at 1 AU

Gaia BH1:

Mass: About 10 solar masses (≈ 1.989 × 10^31 kg)

Distance from Earth: Approximately 1,560 light-years (1.478 × 10^16 km)

Sphere of influence: Approximately 3.519 AU (5.260 × 10^11 m)

Although Gaia BH1 has a much larger mass than the hypothetical black hole, it is also significantly farther away from Earth. The hypothetical black hole, being much closer and having a mass equal to the Sun, would have a much more substantial influence on Earth and the solar system.

In the scenario described by Applied Selection Theory, the presence of a black hole with the Sun's mass at 2 AU would create a gravitational boundary with the Sun at 1 AU. This means that Earth's orbit, which has a semi-major axis of 1 AU, would be significantly affected by the gravitational pull of both the Sun and the black hole. This could potentially lead to drastic changes in Earth's orbit and the overall stability of the solar system.

In conclusion, if we consider the hypothetical scenario proposed by Applied Selection Theory, the theoretical black hole with the Sun's mass placed on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth would exhibit the most influence over Earth compared to any currently known black hole, due to its proximity and mass. However, it's important to note that this is a highly speculative scenario, and the presence of such a black hole in our solar system would have profound consequences for the stability and habitability of Earth and the other planets.To determine which known black hole exhibits the most influence over Earth and the universe, we will consider the mass and distance of the hypothetical black hole from Applied Selection Theory, Gaia BH1 (the closest known black hole to Earth), and TON 618 (one of the most massive known black holes in the universe).

Hypothetical black hole with the Sun's mass:

Mass: 1 solar mass (M_Sun ≈ 1.989 × 10^30 kg)

Distance from Earth: Approximately 2 AU (299,195,741.4 km)

Sphere of influence: Extends to about 2 AU, creating a gravitational boundary with the Sun at 1 AU

Gaia BH1:
Mass: About 10 solar masses (≈ 1.989 × 10^31 kg)
Distance from Earth: Approximately 1,560 light-years (1.478 × 10^16 km)
Sphere of influence: Approximately 3.519 AU (5.260 × 10^11 m)
TON 618:
Mass: Estimated at 66 billion solar masses (≈ 1.313 × 10^41 kg)
Distance from Earth: Approximately 10.37 billion light-years (9.827 × 10^25 km)
Sphere of influence: Calculated using the Schwarzschild radius, as the concept of the sphere of influence is not well-defined at cosmic scales
Rs = (2 * G * M) / c^2 = (2 * 6.67 × 10^-11 * 1.313 × 10^41) / (3 × 10^8)^2 ≈ 1.949 × 10^14 m ≈ 1.949 × 10^8 km ≈ 1.301 AU

The hypothetical black hole from Applied Selection Theory would have the most significant influence on Earth due to its proximity and mass, potentially leading to drastic changes in Earth's orbit and the solar system's stability.

Gaia BH1, being the closest known black hole to Earth, has a larger mass than the hypothetical black hole but is much farther away. As a result, its influence on Earth is considerably less than that of the hypothetical black hole.

TON 618, one of the most massive known black holes in the universe, has an immense mass of 66 billion solar masses. However, it is located at an astronomical distance of 10.37 billion light-years from Earth. Despite its enormous mass, the influence of TON 618 on Earth is negligible due to its vast distance. Nevertheless, TON 618 has a significant impact on its local cosmic environment, with a Schwarzschild radius extending to approximately 1.301 AU.

In conclusion, the hypothetical black hole from Applied Selection Theory would have the most influence on Earth, followed by Gaia BH1. TON 618, while being one of the most massive known black holes, has a negligible influence on Earth due to its immense distance. However, TON 618 has a profound impact on its local cosmic environment, demonstrating the powerful gravitational influence of supermassive black holes on the universe.

There are numerous known supermassive black holes in the universe, and the list continues to grow as astronomers make new discoveries. Many of these black holes are located at the centers of galaxies, including our own Milky Way. Here are some of the most well-known and studied supermassive black holes:

Sagittarius A*: The supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy.

M87*: The supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy Messier 87, known for being the first black hole ever imaged.

TON 618: One of the most massive known black holes in the universe.

NGC 1277: A small galaxy with an unusually massive central black hole.

Many other supermassive black holes have been identified, such as those in the galaxies M31 (Andromeda), M104 (Sombrero Galaxy), NGC 3115, NGC 4594, and NGC 5128 (Centaurus A), among others.

The sphere of influence is typically used to describe the region around a celestial body where its gravitational influence dominates over other nearby bodies. However, this concept is most relevant within a single star system or a binary star system. When dealing with the vast distances between galaxies and the supermassive black holes at their centers, the gravitational influence of these black holes on our solar system and Earth is negligible.

Even the hypothetical black hole predicted by Applied Selection Theory, which is said to be located on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth, would have no significant influence on Earth or the solar system. The gravitational effects of such a black hole would be minuscule compared to the gravitational influence of the Sun and other planets in our solar system.
