First ever image of a black hole revealed

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.

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?

THANK GOD!...(IF HE EXISTS) AT (SO CALLED) AGE 68, AT LEAST I'M NOT DYING OF OLD AGE....MERELY 'CORPOREAL ENTROPY'

 

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 ...?
