IGR J17091-3624: NASA'S Chandra Finds Fastest Wind From Stellar-Mass Black Hole
Chandra observations have found the fastest wind ever coming from a disk around a stellar-mass black hole.
This record breaking wind is about 20 million miles per hour - about 3% the speed of light.
This wind may be carrying away much more material than the black hole is actually capturing.
This artist's impression shows a binary system containing a stellar-mass black hole called IGR J17091-3624, or IGR J17091 for short. The strong gravity of the black hole, on the left, is pulling gas away from a companion star on the right. This gas forms a disk of hot gas around the black hole, and the wind is driven off this disk.
New observations with NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory have clocked the fastest wind ever seen blowing off a disk around this stellar-mass black hole. Stellar-mass black holes are born when extremely massive stars collapse and typically weigh between five and 10 times the mass of the Sun.
The record-breaking wind is moving about twenty million miles per hour, or about three percent the speed of light. This is nearly ten times faster than had ever been seen from a stellar-mass black hole, and matches some of the fastest winds generated by supermassive black holes, objects millions or billions of times more massive.
Another unanticipated finding is that the wind, which comes from a disk of gas surrounding the black hole, may be carrying away much more material than the black hole is capturing.
The high speed for the wind was estimated from a spectrum made by Chandra in 2011. A spectrum shows how intense the X-rays are at different energies. Ions emit and absorb distinct features in spectra, which allow scientists to monitor them and their behavior. A Chandra spectrum of iron ions made two months earlier showed no evidence of the high-speed wind, meaning the wind likely turns on and off over time.

{\bf Abstract: } In this announcement, we shall introduce the zero division $z/0=0$. The result is a definite one and it is fundamental in mathematics.

\section{Introduction}
%\label{sect1}
By a natural extension of the fractions
\begin{equation}
\frac{b}{a}
\end{equation}
for any complex numbers $a$ and $b$, we, recently, found the surprising result, for any complex number $b$
\begin{equation}
\frac{b}{0}=0,
\end{equation}
incidentally in \cite{s} by the Tikhonov regularization for the Hadamard product inversions for matrices, and we discussed their properties and gave several physical interpretations on the general fractions in \cite{kmsy} for the case of real numbers. The result is a very special case for general fractional functions in \cite{cs}.
The division by zero has a long and mysterious story over the world (see, for example, google site with division by zero) with its physical viewpoints since the document of zero in India on AD 628, however,
Sin-Ei, Takahasi (\cite{taka}) (see also \cite{kmsy}) established a simple and decisive interpretation (1.2) by analyzing some full extensions of fractions and by showing the complete characterization for the property (1.2). His result will show that our mathematics says that the result (1.2) should be accepted as a natural one:
\bigskip
{\bf Proposition. }{\it Let F be a function from ${\bf C }\times {\bf C }$ to ${\bf C }$ such that
$$
F (b, a)F (c, d)= F (bc, ad)
$$
for all
$$
a, b, c, d \in {\bf C }
$$
and
$$
F (b, a) = \frac {b}{a }, \quad a, b \in {\bf C }, a \ne 0.
$$
Then, we obtain, for any $b \in {\bf C } $
$$
F (b, 0) = 0.
$$
}
\medskip
\section{What are the fractions $ b/a$?}
For many mathematicians, the division $b/a$ will be considered as the inverse of product;
that is, the fraction
\begin{equation}
\frac{b}{a}
\end{equation}
is defined as the solution of the equation
\begin{equation}
a\cdot x= b.
\end{equation}
The idea and the equation (2.2) show that the division by zero is impossible, with a strong conclusion. Meanwhile, the problem has been a long and old question:
As a typical example of the division by zero, we shall recall the fundamental law by Newton:
\begin{equation}
F = G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}
\end{equation}
for two masses $m_1, m_2$ with a distance $r$ and for a constant $G$. Of course,
\begin{equation}
\lim_{r \to +0} F =\infty,
\end{equation}
however, in our fraction
\begin{equation}
F = G \frac{m_1 m_2}{0} = 0.
\end{equation}
\medskip
Now, we shall introduce an another approach. The division $b/a$ may be defined {\bf independently of the product}. Indeed, in Japan, the division $b/a$ ; $b$ {\bf raru} $a$ ({\bf jozan}) is defined as how many $a$ exists in $b$, this idea comes from subtraction $a$ repeatedly. (Meanwhile, product comes from addition).
In Japanese language for "division", there exists such a concept independently of product.
H. Michiwaki and his 6 years old girl said for the result $ 100/0=0$ that the result is clear, from the meaning of the fractions independently the concept of product and they said:
$100/0=0$ does not mean that $100= 0 \times 0$. Meanwhile, many mathematicians had a confusion for the result.
Her understanding is reasonable and may be acceptable:
$100/2=50 \quad$ will mean that we divide 100 by 2, then each will have 50.
$100/10=10 \quad$ will mean that we divide 100 by10, then each will have 10.
$100/0=0 \quad$ will mean that we do not divide 100, and then nobody will have at all and so 0.
Furthermore, she said then the rest is 100; that is, mathematically;
$$
100 = 0\cdot 0 + 100.
$$
Now, all the mathematicians may accept the division by zero $100/0=0$ with natural feelings as a trivial one?
\medskip
For simplicity, we shall consider the numbers on non-negative real numbers. We wish to define the division (or fraction) $b/a$ following the usual procedure for its calculation, however, we have to take care for the division by zero:
The first principle, for example, for $100/2 $ we shall consider it as follows:
$$
100-2-2-2-,...,-2.
$$
How may times can we subtract $2$? At this case, it is 50 times and so, the fraction is $50$.
The second case, for example, for $3/2$ we shall consider it as follows:
$$
3 - 2 = 1
$$
and the rest (remainder) is $1$, and for the rest $1$, we multiple $10$,
then we consider similarly as follows:
$$
10-2-2-2-2-2=0.
$$
Therefore $10/2=5$ and so we define as follows:
$$
\frac{3}{2} =1 + 0.5 = 1.5.
$$
By these procedures, for $a \ne 0$ we can define the fraction $b/a$, usually. Here we do not need the concept of product. Except the zero division, all the results for fractions are valid and accepted.
Now, we shall consider the zero division, for example, $100/0$. Since
$$
100 - 0 = 100,
$$
that is, by the subtraction $100 - 0$, 100 does not decrease, so we can not say we subtract any from $100$. Therefore, the subtract number should be understood as zero; that is,
$$
\frac{100}{0} = 0.
$$
We can understand this: the division by $0$ means that it does not divide $100$ and so, the result is $0$.
Similarly, we can see that
$$
\frac{0}{0} =0.
$$
As a conclusion, we should define the zero divison as, for any $b$
$$
\frac{b}{0} =0.
$$
See \cite{kmsy} for the details.
\medskip
\section{In complex analysis}
We thus should consider, for any complex number $b$, as (1.2);
that is, for the mapping
\begin{equation}
w = \frac{1}{z},
\end{equation}
the image of $z=0$ is $w=0$. This fact seems to be a curious one in connection with our well-established popular image for the point at infinity on the Riemann sphere.
However, we shall recall the elementary function
\begin{equation}
W(z) = \exp \frac{1}{z}
\end{equation}
$$
= 1 + \frac{1}{1! z} + \frac{1}{2! z^2} + \frac{1}{3! z^3} + \cdot \cdot \cdot .
$$
The function has an essential singularity around the origin. When we consider (1.2), meanwhile, surprisingly enough, we have:
\begin{equation}
W(0) = 1.
\end{equation}
{\bf The point at infinity is not a number} and so we will not be able to consider the function (3.2) at the zero point $z = 0$, meanwhile, we can consider the value $1$ as in (3.3) at the zero point $z = 0$. How do we consider these situations?
In the famous standard textbook on Complex Analysis, L. V. Ahlfors (\cite{ahlfors}) introduced the point at infinity as a number and the Riemann sphere model as well known, however, our interpretation will be suitable as a number. We will not be able to accept the point at infinity as a number.
As a typical result, we can derive the surprising result: {\it At an isolated singular point of an analytic function, it takes a definite value }{\bf with a natural meaning.} As the important applications for this result, the extension formula of functions with analytic parameters may be obtained and singular integrals may be interpretated with the division by zero, naturally (\cite{msty}).
\bigskip
\section{Conclusion}
The division by zero $b/0=0$ is possible and the result is naturally determined, uniquely.
The result does not contradict with the present mathematics - however, in complex analysis, we need only to change a little presentation for the pole; not essentially, because we did not consider the division by zero, essentially.
The common understanding that the division by zero is impossible should be changed with many text books and mathematical science books. The definition of the fractions may be introduced by {\it the method of Michiwaki} in the elementary school, even.
Should we teach the beautiful fact, widely?:
For the elementary graph of the fundamental function
$$
y = f(x) = \frac{1}{x},
$$
$$
f(0) = 0.
$$
The result is applicable widely and will give a new understanding for the universe ({\bf Announcement 166}).
\medskip
If the division by zero $b/0=0$ is not introduced, then it seems that mathematics is incomplete in a sense, and by the intoduction of the division by zero, mathematics will become complete in a sense and perfectly beautiful.

アインシュタインも解決できなかった「ゼロで割る」問題
ゼロ除算100/0=0, 0/0=0の意義:
１）西暦６２８年インドでゼロが記録されて以来 ゼロで割るの問題 に 簡明で、決定的な解 1/0, 0/0=0をもたらしたこと。
２） ゼロ除算の導入で、四則演算 加減乗除において ゼロでは 割れない の例外から、例外なく四則演算が可能である という 美しい構造が確立されたこと。
３）２千年以上前に ユークリッドによって確立した、平面の概念に対して、おおよそ２００年前に非ユークリッド幾何学が出現し、特に楕円型非ユークリッド幾何学ではユークリッド平面に対して、無限遠点の概念がうまれ、特に立体射影で、原点上に球をおけば、 原点ゼロが 南極に、無限遠点が 北極に対応する点として 複素解析学では １００年以上も定説とされてきた(注参照)。それが、無限遠点は 数では、無限ではなくて、実はゼロが対応するという驚嘆すべき世界観をもたらした。
４）ゼロ除算は ニュートンの万有引力の法則における、２点間の距離がゼロの場合における新しい解釈、 独楽（コマ）の中心における角速度の不連続性の解釈、衝突などの不連続性を説明する数学になっている。ゼロ除算は アインシュタインの理論でも重要な問題になっていたとされている。数多く存在する物理法則を記述する方程式にゼロ除算が現れているが、それらに新解釈を与える道が拓かれた。
５）複素解析学では、１次変換の美しい性質が、ゼロ除算の導入によって、任意の１次変換は 全複素平面を全複素平面に１対１ onto に写すという美しい性質に変わるが、 極である１点において不連続性が現れ、ゼロ除算は、無限を 数から排除する数学になっている。
６）ゼロ除算は、不可能であるという立場であったから、ゼロで割る事を 本質的に考えてこなかったので、ゼロ除算で、分母がゼロである場合も考えるという、未知の新世界、研究課題が出現した。
７）複素解析学への影響は 未知の分野で、専門家の分野になるが、解析関数の孤立特異点での性質について新しいことが導かれる。典型的な定理は、どんな解析関数の孤立特異点でも、解析関数は 孤立特異点で、有限な確定値をとる である。佐藤の超関数の理論などへの応用がある。
８）特異積分におけるアダマールの有限部分や、コーシーの主値積分は、弾性体やクラック、破壊理論など広い世界で、自然現象を記述するのに用いられている。面白いのは 積分が、もともと有限部分と発散部分に分けられ、 極限は 無限たす、有限量の形になっていて、積分は 実は、普通の積分ではなく、そこに現れる有限量を便宜的に表わしている。ところが、その有限量が実は、 ゼロ除算にいう、 解析関数の孤立特異点での 確定値に成っていること。いわゆる、主値に対する解釈を与えている。これはゼロ除算の結果が、広く、自然現象を記述していることを示している。
９）中学生や高校生にも十分理解できる基本的な結果をもたらした：
基本的な関数y = 1/x のグラフは、原点で ゼロである；
すなわち、 1/0=0 である。
１０）既に述べてきたように 道脇方式は ゼロ除算の結果100/0=0, 0/0=0および分数の定義、割り算の定義に、小学生でも理解できる新しい概念を与えている。多くの教科書、学術書を変更させる大きな影響を与える。
１１）ゼロ除算が可能であるか否かの議論について：
現在 インターネット上の情報でも 世間でも、ゼロ除算は 不可能であるとの情報が多い。それは、割り算は 掛け算の逆であるという、前提に議論しているからである。それは、そのような立場では、勿論 正しいことである。出来ないという議論では、できないから、更には考えられず、その議論は、不可能のゆえに 終わりになってしまう ― もはや 展開の道は閉ざされている。しかるに、ゼロ除算が 可能であるとの考え方は、それでは、どのような理論が 展開できるのかの未知の分野が望めて、大いに期待できる世界が拓かれる。
１２）ゼロ除算は、数学ばかりではなく、 世界観や文化に大きな影響を与えている。
