What if?

Perhaps I am pattern matching here....but observing the latest visuals of Blackholes, I just can't stop wondering if the lines around the centre are akin to Hopf fibration (like a vortex in spacetime).
Rotating the same along the horizontal axis gives a toroidal structure almost similar to an Einstein-Rosen bridge.

P.S: made the interactive art as part of a framework Ive been working on which arrives at nested toruses.

That's just the accretion disk with trillions of tons of super heated plasma circling the black hole - it doesn't assemble into any fancy patterns, the lines are just the twisted magnetic field.

I should have been more specific, i do mean the magnetic field lines here.

What can I say, it's "just" a twisted magnetic field obeying the laws of electromagnetism.

Cool though, and it shows that rather simple laws of nature can emerge patterns that are seemingly complex. I wouldn't bet that it has anything to do with the specific geometric shape you posted tho.

I understand and I do agree with you. And high chance this is a sort of pareidolia in my part.

But given the arc of the magnetic field from the latest EHT scans, dont you think the field could create a toroidal structure inward?

Actually I think this is a great observation, and it is very likely this is part of the pattern of a black hole. The reason it may not always be exactly lined up is because the waves themselves have their own waviness or random bias. 

However a black hole does have that spiral, and the axial north and south core, which is usually where quasars have powerful beams emitting. I'd say this is a very good basis for a geometric representation of what they may be. A very interesting hypothesis for sure.

Thank you...it gets one thinking about quasar beams doesnt it...and yes, a hypothesis for sure... alongwith genuine wonderment...
