And yet, essentially we still use the same hierarchichal, socio-political and economic model as an ape. Most systems in use today are even predatory in nature. Although we have found ways to delude ourselves that we are 'civilised' (e.g. the clever use of complex terminology to describe (or veil) our animalistic tendencies), the truth is that while our technology and science has progressed, our mindset has not. Our mental scope and awareness is woefully inadequate to handle the responsibility of even some of our earlier scientific discoveries. As long as this issue is not being addressed, all the science and technology we have will be used to advance the agenda of the animal. And humanity will not benefit from it. Quite the opposite.

I remember looking at THAT Pluto picture in complete awe some 15 years ago, just a couple pixels really. I'm no expert by any means, but now that I'm older and have matured in terms of scientific understanding, this picture still absolutely blows me away.

Now take some undergraduate courses which cover such topics as signal to noise ratios and information theory, and you'll soon realize that this is nothing more than a complete crock. The fraud is readily apparent, as there is a COMPLETE ABSENCE of any radiating matter except on the circumference of the image, and none in the center whereas, according to theory, a black hole should be surrounded by a completely enveloping cloud of matter outside of the event horizon (and therefore visible), which is also radiating energy as it spirals into the black hole. This isn't science, it's a poorly conceived forgery being used to justify the tremendous amounts of money they wasted on this poorly thought-out boondoggle. Seriously, if you are throwing out 99.9999% of your data, that means you're just cherry-picking the 0.0001% of data which you decided to keep because it fits your pre-conceived notion of what the data "should" look like. Unfortunately for them, they forgot to include eclipsing matter, which thereby proves that the image is a complete and utter hoax.

"Must go faster"

The thing that gets me the most about this photo is that it looks precisely as we've always thought they'd look, and in every movie (like interstellar), they've based their ideas exactly on the right idea. Which was Einstein's, and that's extraordinary, and think I finally understand what people mean when they say that "Physics is NOT math!" Let me explain. The mathematical universe produces all kinds of crazy structures like infinities, klein bottles, infinite dimensions, the whole nine yards. It produces many, many types of objects that just don't occur in nature. Physical reality doesn't seem to have any of that, it's very narrow in that way where it can be described mathematically but is not, in essence, pure maths. And therein lies the remarkable bit, because with this implies that there's many. many ways to produce a math equation which does not describe anything physical, and there's also lots of ways to produce a physics equation which makes SOME accurate physics predictions, but also produces non-physical mathematical structures. This is the great issue with String Theory where physicists aren't sure whether its predictions are purely mathematical or if it's physics, or maybe it's partly a bit of both. How much physics does String Theory really describe? Many physics equations like this example exist and which have that purely mathematical bit. It's now easy to see that they are inadequate physics equations. That is, they aren't exactly true. Einstein, though. Einstein produced a theory in General Relativity which seems to describe ONLY physical phenomena, no matter how outlandish the claim. GR says that time stops and slows depending on mass and speed, he predicted that space is curved like a dimpled bed spread, GR says gravitational waves should be produced by the merger of two black holes and that black holes should exist in the first place. NONE of these predictions were guaranteed to match with REALITY, Einstein thought that surely he had erred in some shape or form and produced an equation part math, part physics where you get mathematical anomalies cropping up here and there. But now we see, General Relativity is the most perfect PHYSICS equation ever produced, because every time, no matter the challenge, it always makes accurate PHYSICS predictions, and I'm not exactly sure how he was able to do that.

It wasn't Einstein's, it was Swarzschild's interpretation of Einstein's equations that "created" black holes. And of course the result ended up being exactly as predicted. That's because the theory behind black holes and the equations used to construct this pictures ARE THE SAME EXACT THING. It's called circular reasoning and it's impossible to get any other result with this methodology. Oh, and for how many times you mentioned Einstein's name... let me inform you that Einstein did NOT agree with Swarzschild and outright stated black holes cannot physically exist. PS. Theory of relativity is falsifiable. GPS is the best proof that both General Relativity and Special Relativity are wrong.

One thing that's really valuable from this effort is the confirmation of certain black-hole models and theories. The models and theories that produce the same kinds of results we see in the image are the keepers; the ones that don't can be round-filed. Validation of theory is probably the most valuable aspect of this work- aside from finally proving the existence of black holes beyond any shadow of a doubt!

This is heavy! Great Scott!

I'm not a physicist and there's something I don't understand. We see a black hole surrounded by a halo of radiation. But surely a black hole is a three-dimensional object and the radiation it emits would be bent round it, forming a roughly spherical envelope. If this is so, wouldn't the radiation envelope between us and the black hole obscure the black hole itself? So why do we see it so clearly? Can some kind person help me out?

@jeffo9396

I've wondered that too. Unless, it's not radiation from the accretion disk, but something behind the black hole that's bending the radiation in our direction. And if it is from the accretion disk, then it's circling the black hole in a 2-D plane, but not enveloping it all the way around. We may be viewing the top or bottom of the black hole, and hence we're able to see the radiation from the accretion disk like viewing the rings of Saturn from the north or south pole. Of course, I could be completely wrong on both counts.

Is the color shift just represented by brightness in the picture because we can't see the colors in radio waves? or is it an actual shift in brightness itself? brightness is just how many photons you're capturing, right? so there shouldn't actually be a difference in the number of photons received from each side of the black hole, right?

What is amazing is the total lack of scepticism among the captive laymen.

So have you read the paper or are you just using scepticism in a newly defined way?

The naivety of science denying morons who fall for crackpot theories and think they are being sceptical is astonishing.

@@johnstaf Indeed. People think scepticism is only about not believing things when asserted instead of actually doing their due diligents and learning what the actual claims are and what is the evidence brought forward.

@@johnstaf OK, so let's recap: 1. A purely mathematical theory predicted an object like a black hole (not Theory of Relativity per se, but Schwarzschild's interpretation of it) 2. To photograph this object mathemagicians had to jury-rig an Earth-sized telescope from a bunch of scattered telescopes on Earth. 3. Anything smaller wouldn't even allow them to get any usable data, making the "raw" picture something like a 8x8 pixel blob. 4. The only wavelength that was obtainable was a narrow band of in the radiowave spectrum, meaning even if translated into visible spectrum, it's nothing more, but an artistic interpretation to begin with. 5. After several years of applying the same theory that predicted the object to that data, the computer was able to construct an image that's at least 45 times bigger than the raw data. 6. This is considered an achievement for science. This isn't the scientific method, it's circular reasoning.

The image was actually put together by a graduate student from MIT, Katie Bouman.

Any "black hole photograph" in question is a plasmoid, matching the description and sketches/photos of Winston H. Bostick in the 1950's. These plasmoids are extremely dense with energy and have the same properties as a "black hole", only they actually do exist and at all scales. In addition, as a top authority with impeccable standards of moral integrity, Dr. Pierre-Marie Robitaille is unmatched in his refusal to bend the laws of physics. You owe it to yourself and your audience and followers to watch this video on KZread: "April 10th, 2019 - Claims of a Black Hole Image: The Day Astrophysics Died", AND his followup videos with all the details to bury this farce forever.

if anyone watched the NSF release, some of the early journo Q's were like OMG, hilarity

I wish Carl Sagan was alive to see this image.

Brilliant, down to earth scientifc reaction to the news!!

Simply amazing. How did they keep the news secret for so long :O

Loved for the little six year old boy comparing the image to the plushie: what an awesome moment of context. What an amazing universe we live in.

Wow, there it is. Well, one of them. Sure glad its a long way away. Feeling kinda protective of our little planet. Thank you to scientists who study and learn and share their knowledge. Research is so important. Its so awesome to see that pic. I wish Stephen Hawking could have seen it, but he already knew he was right.

Don't worry, there are probably thousands of black holes wandering around our own Milky Way. They're just close to impossible to spot unless one were to show up on your doorstep. :-) Fortunately, they probably won't. Space is big.

The image may not be as exciting as we had thought but the proof of black holes is truly exciting in itself. Cannot wait for the future.

Great video

Excellent interviews and amazing image of a galactic supermassive black hole. Even more amazing is the rate at which astrophysics is progressing.

Great to see the nearly peerless Sixty Symbols on this Event. So much more Gravity than many of the other science channels.

I've always been interested in black holes, and have been re looking into them over the past few months. It's crazy that we just had this huge announcement around the same time. I'm excited to see what kind of discoveries we will make in the coming years now that we have this

Amazing video. Even though the slow zoom of the fullscreen black hole picture messed with my head. I had to check twice if the image was actually zooming of if my eyes were tricking me.

Are Alice and Bob also there, trying to trick the other to cross the event horizon?

Just a question... Can this technique be used using the translation of the earth around the sun (summer, winter) to make a telescope even bigger?

Images like that are priceless. Science backed up by nice pictures can inspire people.

I remember when I was very little I mentioned black holes on a school paper and one kid told me they were science fiction I feel slightly vindicated

What we really need to do is build a constellation of space-based radio telescopes that we can arrange to effectively make a diameter of approximately 1 million kilometers, maybe 30 or 40 of them and really get some great resolution.

Northern: How about "really want"? I don't see the need, at least until we solve a couple of intractable problems here on earth.

4:06 The radius of the event horizon scales up by a factor of 2 with an increase in mass. Double the mass and it's radius is 4 times bigger :P

This is fascinating. The scientists who took these images should be very proud of themselves.
