The black hole photo you've seen everywhere is thanks to this MIT grad's algorithm

Well this guy seem to be explaining the same stuff as I briefly described that we thought the black would like the one in Interstellar movie.
Because of the huge curved space fabric, the light from behind the would appear in front as a disk through center of the sphere

that movie is quite accurate in many scenes... love it!

What is its benefit to common man

Philosophical aspects and possibilities are numerous. An example would be the possibility of rapid travel to another galaxy.

Yeah some of them are pretty okay for a scifi movie as the authors Nolan brothers took extensive help from scientists. I watched in cinema in Atlanta when it was first released back in 2014. Really liked, even watched a few times with friend on my home theater..

Alright, the most important question is - how far are we from it ??

@Levina @Zibago @Mentee @RealNapster @Hamartia Antidote

Doesnt matter, if it comes it comes. There is nothing we can do, so live ur day like it's the last.

Genius. How you would take a picture of something that reflects nothing?

I think you need to study a little bit more about astronomy before acting like Einstein.

That's what all digital pictures are.

Actually no, a digital picture is when a camera captures an image and then a processing unit converts that image into data to be stored digitally.

And if you would have watched the video posted by Harvard University, they told in it, that they collected Petabytes of Data from many different sources and then generated this image through a super computer.
So this is what they think it looks like, not what it actually looks like.

I was just stating the obvious fact.
Newspapers right now are just trying to mislead people (as usual) by claiming it to be an actual photograph.

Free Data/Internet is a curse to someone people at-least I guess.

In a much heralded scientific breakthrough a group of astronomers from the Event Horizon Telescope have unveiled the first-ever image of a black hole.
The European Commission, European Research Council, and the Event Horizon Telescope project are holding a press conference to detail the findings of their mission.

Dr Shep Doeleman explained that they surveyed the Messier 87 galaxy in an effort to be able to picture the “supermassive black hole and its core.”

so they basically captured the luminous gases colliding together with the heats of hundreds of billions of degrees indicating that that there is a blackhole there along with the lack of any light getting reflected back from the center. excellent technique.

black holes are one of God's many many mysterious creations...amazed by them.

I thought someone leaked Modi's sextape...

For some reason I thought you were going to post a picture of modis gaand post pulwama.....

Again see the image carefully and use some imagination; you may get your answer.

I thought someone leaked Modi's sextape...

On first view, I also thought the same.

This thing more look like MODIs backhole..

Genius. How you would take a picture of something that reflects nothing?

If you can't see it, then how do you know it is there Retarded indian? How can you conclusively "know" what is the black-hole phenomenon when you cannot see it, when you cannot collect reliable data on it, when you cannot determine the frequencies bandwidths around it?

Do you listen and believe in every dic.k head scientist then good luck to you but don't bring your jack.shit here and spray it ones who refuses to accept nonsense. It is easy to open your mouth like an illiterate but very hard to provide concrete proof.

sure looks like a back hole
