I’m asking for resources on the toroidal knotting of the large scale EM around black holes, both nearby in the immediate accretion disk and from the perspective of the galaxy as a whole.
Those knots are (supermacro) anyons, because they’re tangles in a field that form particle-like excitations, though in this case loop like excitations. And what we’re seeing as weird patterns is gas dancing around those loop excitations within the galaxy, eg emitting synchrotron radiation as they do.
That would be one explanation of why we find so many filaments perpendicular to the galactic plane.
> I'm really struggling to see how -- given the high temperatures and high particle numbers involved -- anything is to be gained by looking at the truly microscopic behaviour of the stress-energy tensor, even in the very near region of the horizon.
For the same reason that braiding tells us something about the behavior of plasma globes — the topology doesn’t just “go away”, and we need to account for where the tangle went. It either fell into the black hole or it’s still here. For the same reason plasma globe filaments only collapse at topological defects.
The precise reason that I think that we can’t ignore the braiding term is that we’re forming an entanglement structure between all of those particles — and while it’s a jumbled mess, that’s precisely why we can’t ignore its contribution to mass and galactic binding.
I also would point out that this doesn’t require any extensions to the standard model — I’m just saying something that happens small also happens big: that braiding is a fact of the wave equation.
