In the Shadow of the Black Hole

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) - a planet-scale array of eight ground-based radio telescopes forged through international collaboration - was designed to capture images of a black hole. In coordinated press conferences across the globe, EHT researchers revealed that they succeeded, unveiling the first direct visual evidence of a supermassive black hole and its shadow.
This 17-minute film explores the efforts that led to this historic image, from the science of Einstein and Schwarzschild to the struggles and successes of the EHT collaboration.

The first image ever of a Black Hole is the perfect example showing that *both theoretical-based models and reality actually match together* . In fact, this is what we simply call: SCIENCE! April 10th 2019, therefore *will always remain a huge milestone for collaborative science* , and more particularly for collaborative Astronomy 🌌 *Congratulations to EHT collaboration*

[@ph11p3540]

Yes with the best tool being all these different science institutions collaborating together to cross verify everything. It's not just astronomy but interdisciplinary sciences and engineering to make it all work together. This restores my faith in humanity and reinforces my respect for the scientific institutions.

[@issoulescondes3913]

False because relativity explain that inside a black hole space is infinite and time stop which is impossible because they release energy and evaporate one day or another. The only thing that match is the fact that stars which light can't escape exists, that's all. Our models never match with reality, they just get better over time

[@starbase51shiptestingfacil97]

First clue it's a hoax, it's too blurry to make out what the objects are. It's actually a blurry picture of Phobos eclipsing the Sun. kzbin.info/www/bejne/raiooKykqd90sJI They would have taken a sharper picture if it was real, instead just used a really blurry stock photo. They can't do science, so they ended up doing fiction.

On Monday July 1st 2019 at 6:57 PM a sum of 512 conspiracy theorists and guys who like to get angry about things they don't understand (= Dunning Kruger effect) dislikes this great documentary about one of the greatest achievements of man(kind). 😞 Luckily it has more than 18.000 likes which speaks for the intellectual capabilities among the 838,222 viewers as of the same date and time I already mentioned. 😏 In other words: Thanks European Southern Observatory (ESO) KZbin channel to put up this great short documentary. And a list of questions: To all the conspiracy theorists and guys (and gals) who spread anger and false theories, playing the enlightened ones without understanding how science actually works. - Do you want to feel like a Neo from Matrix, albeit a Neo falling for false mentors? - Why do you who refuse to understand the way modern science should be presented, likes to get angry instead of using this by now wasted energy to understand what you see? - Why don't you pay attention to the explanations in this video and learn by carefully listening what is explanatory computer animations and what's the actual pictures? Especially when one thinks that I as a German to whom English is the second language understood the overall picture and when was shown what, this should especially tell native English speakers something about their attention span. - Why do you accuse NASA of lying but fully ignoring that this documentary was hosted by a part of the European space programm and observation. - Why do you feel the need to spit out hatred and distrust on true authorities on science and research who earned their reputation (almost on par with the ancient Roman concept of Auctoritas) by learning for decades of their lives. - Can it be that you're against Einsteins discoveries because he is of a certain religion antisemites hates? - Can it be that you're against this video just because you're against women doing science stuff thus being misogynist? - Why do you conspiracy theorists and anti-science guys are so prone to use strong and violent language? - Aren't you eloquent enough to ask your questions or state your opinions in a polite and cultivated grown up manner? Well, just asking questions here. 🤔 And a call for: - Being proud to be a member of a species which has the ability to observe things so far away, a species which learned to overcome its natural limitation by ingenuity and intellect trumping over feelings and a backwater thinking. - Being proud that so manny people choses to cooperate to achieve a greater goal, to overcome old fashioned hate and mutual prejudices. - Being proud that they overcame all the diverse issues and problems by sheer will and cleverness. - Being aware that we live in such a great time of new discoveries, knowledge. Well, we might not colonize new continents anymore, but we can "conquer" worlds millions of light years away. - Being aware that we now live in a world full of knowledge, achievements, technology our ancestors 100 years ago would have considered a strange sureal fantasy, not even respected as science fiction anymore. So, again, thank you European Southern Observatory (ESO) KZbin channel for putting up this great video. 🤗
