I want the bloody EU to disappear into it...Hello Mr Black Hole I got £20 for you to do a little job for me.

On a more serious note not bad but we need a much better picture.

The mass does not seize to exist, it accumulates inst5ead. So the gravity pull of the black hole grows stronger, I think. The picture they made, is not a photo of the hole itself, becasue sinc enothign escapes form a blakc hole, you cannbot catch up any emitting patrtciles, waves, whatever from it. Its like with "seeing" an insivisble man. We do not see the invisible man, but we can see the shadow he casts on the wall.



They said that the data on their harddrives had severla petabytes. Loads and loads of harddrives, several hundred kilograms in total weight. From this data, the images were constructed. Done four times, by four different teams. All teams' final results were not too different form each other, but different they were, which shows that these images are not "objective" visual photographies of somethign, but are artificial creations, thus I called them "illustrations". It is a data-based illustration of a black hole's "shadow" that its invisible presence casts on the matter and space around it.

The image shows everything expected; the material disk, the distortion of the disk and the dark area caused by the black hole in the center.

If it's not an image of a black hole, then what is it in your mind?

In my current state of mind I perceive a shopped image of light being bent by strong gravitational forces. Though I have on occasion altered my perception of time and sometimes reality then got the munchies after smoking some dank purple hindu

Sky speaks the truth even the colors are computer generated based on the temperture and then the yellows and the reds are added in. I saw a series of screens from the other contributing data gathering space experts and they were not all perfect like the one in the OP ... More questions than answers, but that is a good thing for todays youth to help then get involved in space science.

Can you imagine the amount of math it took to get a space craft with the ability to take these images of a black hole to the point in time that it is in right now?

None?

The term entropy and the term negentropy, should be regarded as attempts to supply terms which we would then seek to explain, for the difference between living and dying or dead processes. https://archive.schillerinstitute.co...egentropy.html[/U]

How old are you if you didn't count the time you have spent sleeping?

Do the math for me ...

I am not on my pc, just on my Xbox one in between games

Another thought is simply this what if you could sleep all the way to another point in time in a space ship of unlimited range how far could you go without wake time counting against you like it would on earth ...?

EDGAR CAYCE GOT IT RIGHT:

Learn these lessons well: First, the continuity of life. There is no time; it is one time. There is no space; it is one space. There is no force, other than all force in its various phases and applications. The individual is such a part of God that one’s thoughts may become crimes or miracles, for thoughts are deeds. That that one metes must be met again. That one applies will be applied again and again until that oneness of time, space, force are learned and the individual is one with the whole

WHEN MY SOUL 'BA' EXITS MY BODY '' I'LL TRAVEL THRU SPACE AND TIME ENDLESSLY 'ON A SOLAR BARK' TILL TRAPPED PAST THE EVENT HORIZON OF A BLACK HOLE THAT EVEN THE BA CANNOT PASS; I BECOME "ONE WITH THE ''HOLE"...ESSENTIALLY ENDING MY 'ETERNITY' IN LIGHTLESS Götterdämmerung!

MY PROFILE: Biography Ak Tung Amun/ Interests : Ma'at & Gotterdammerung Forty-two gods listened to the confessions of the deceased who claimed to be innocent of crimes against the divine and human social order. The person's heart was then placed on a scale, counterbalanced by a feather that represented Maat, the goddess of truth and justice. If the heart was equal in weight to the feather, the person was justified and achieved immortality. If not, it was devoured by the goddess Amemet. This meant that the person would not survive in the afterlife. When a pharaoh passed the test, he became one with the god Osiris. He then travelled through the underworld on a solar bark, accompanied by the gods, to reach paradise and attain everlasting life.

A SOLAR BARK WILL EVENTUALLY ENCOUNTER A BLACK HOLE AND THE JIG IS REALLY UP! SPACE TRIP OVER BBY!!! THE PHOTO JUST SHOWS WHERE I'LL END UP!
