- Dr. Katie Bouman, who starts as assistant professor of computing and mathematical sciences at Caltech in June 2019, describes how the Event Horizon Telescope team captured the first-ever image of a black hole.
- วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Best presentation I've seen on how the image of the black hole was actually generated and why the resulting image is trustworthy.
The image might be “trustworthy”, but it’s not an image of a black hole.
Greg K *Black hole craze*
Science by voting, Let’s Calm down. This is not a photograph, this is a reconstructed image using data from different radio telescopes and then the image is interpreted according to what is suspected to be there, and if all the teams believe in black hole then it must be. But these type of phenomenon has been observed by optical telescopes they are called *Ring Galaxy which is a galaxy with a circle-like appearance. Hoag's Object, discovered by Art Hoag in 1950, is an example of a ring galaxy.* The ring contains many massive, relatively young blue stars, which are extremely bright. The central region contains relatively little luminous matter. Calling this object a black hole is self-imposed wishful thinking! Click here to see a ring galaxy (Hoag object) apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/0209/hoag_hst.jpg now everything should be OK because there’s a sucker born every minute!
THIS IS OUR FIRST GO AT THIS!!!! I can't wait till we prefect this over the next few years...Great Job!! You and your team are AMAZING and THANK YOU!!!
john N yessss. Black hole images popping up left and right.
john N *When a Image is not a photo.*
I hate to bust your black hole bubble, but, this EHT M87 is actually a computer generated virtual image using less than 1% of the data!
Programmers using mathematical rules on how much data randomness any given picture can contain, and how bright it should be and how likely it is that neighboring pixels will look similar, have designed a program to filter out and add data to get the image, in other words, they are sculpturing the data to fit the expected image. Sound Reasonable? But consider this, they are not using 50% or 25% but less than 1% , to be more precise, they are only using 1 billionth the data received by the 8 telescopes to construct this image, it Sounds mighty suspicious to me that they are inadvertently imposing biased (template) image on the data, Simply bogus.
Shep Doleman (the researcher leading the charge on the EHT) was one of the early developers of the VLBI technique, so this wasn't exactly people's first attempt. Nonetheless, it sounds like they had to develop a lot of new machinery to get this to work.
I thoroughly enjoyed this very well explained scientific presentation. I am looking forward to the EHT’s next discovery!
"dont know if you can see it on this projector" Makes me feel right at home
I'm waiting for a random error from the slide pausing and skip 3 slides altogether.
She's so humble, taking moments to emphasize the importance of her co-workers in developing the famous algorithm. Props to youuuuu
Of course. She was just one very small wheel in the team, but stupid mainstream writers presented her as a "new Einstein", who made it. Very bad position for her to get these "woman hero creators" back to the ground.
@@mareksykora5197 i know right! the media and most of the articles I've read really just labeled her as the feminist Messiah, even tho I'm sure she really wasn't giving a crap about all that when she was doing the project. The misandry in the articles were really the underlying purpose for the writers in writing them. It's like Katie didn't even have a choice on how the world would view her due to the articles causing a misrepresented image of her to foster in the people's mind.
@@mareksykora5197 could you have done any better?
@@debrawehrly9551 Not me, but thirty her colleagues can do it very well.
Please never stop working on what you clearly enjoy a lot, best of luck on your journey, keep us nubs updated
You guys are genius! If you guys need more VLBI telescope spots or quantum computing resources for better calculations, I’m more than happy to sponsor my bit 🙏
Her mind is moving at light speed. What an amazing person. Hope that she and the team are presented with the Nobel for this amazing accomplishment.
She crammed so much stuff into this lecture, and being put through the media wringer just days ago. I am very impressed with how good the presentation is given the circumstances. I am sure she can slow down a bit, and clean up the presentation, but the content is the important part.
She didn't do it by herself tho 😂 didn't anyone watch her explain this? She said it at the start, this is far from truth
Ulrich Semrau It’s nice when you have high school students give this presentations!
@@Colonies_Dev She did lead her team though that produced the now iconic image which is why she's getting the attention. But rightly so, her team deserves a lot of the credit too
Dan M These types of images have been produced before, nothing new here. Which is astronomical interferometer that is an array of separate telescopes, radio telescope antennas that work together as a single telescope to provide higher resolution images of astronomical objects such as stars, nebulas and galaxies by means of interferometry. But the thing which is questionable is the interpretations what this object is.
her excitement is infectious.
Even important projects use Python. I approve.
Mind telling at which section she comments of using Python? I didn't catch that :p
@@MatheusLB2009 30:20
2.x or 3x version of Python?
@@MatheusLB2009 I would tell you, if I remembered. But as far as I know, Python was mentioned.
It's on github, "eht-imaging"
This lecture is a great compliment to the papers just published. The talk is really well-organized with informative graphics and Dr Bouman's narrative really brings it to life. This also made me appreciate how hard and what an accomplishment the M87 images were. Thank you for posting.
Amazing achievement!! Thanks for posting this.
Dr Bouman, you are a great teacher! I am far from a mathematician or a photographer but understood all of your concepts and explanations because your presentation was straightforword, given in plain language, and crystal clear.
"Imposing", "Imply", "incorporating", "assuming"--these words reveal where the "math is fuzzy"--this is much room for error in the process Dr. Bouman described.
yes but that's why they tested the data in every possible way to try and rule out bias but it still over and over again produced an image of a black center. They even split up into various teams and still came up with essentially the same thing
@@anz10 I agree. This is, for me, the most inspiring scientific achievement of this new century and I have thought of little else since the "image" was released. Still, we must never lose our skepticism if science is to progress.
@@anz10 It seems the groups had a webpage where they compared the images. th-cam.com/video/UGL_OL3OrCE/w-d-xo.html
Caltech found inspiring Professor! Congratulations Katie! Best wishes!
Great to follow a project from beginning through to successful completion. Congrats to all.
Look forward to more radio telescopes being added in the future and more data points being available.
Hopefully this opens the door for more funding, more construction, and more exploring.
So exciting!
Fantastic. The first interesting post-announcement video I've seen on this topic. Lots of content, no repetitive fluff.
Do check out her Ted talk she gave a couple of years ago.
To be clear: The publication of the image is the new result; so when I see some video about this result and they begin to explain to me what is a black hole and what is an event horizon ... I just want to yawn all over again. But here, we jump in and get some *real science* ... just jam-packed with cool information and investigative technique. Bravo.
Great Job!!!!! Can't wait to see the video of Sag*. There's so much more than just the first picture of a black hole.
she is a really amazing character! her parent must be so proud
Astounding... I'm so proud of science... Great job team!!!
Very interesting. Keep up the good work, Katie! Do not let the haters bring you down. They are not happy with their own lives.
Extraordinary! I'm excited for more to come.
Katie is a wonderful role model for young people today ... well done!
h e c k y e a h fun lecture to watch, all of the images in the presentation were super interesting, really excited to learn about more observations that come out
An amazing presentation! This entire view was very useful in understanding the "black box" of creating the first black hole image. Congratulations to the entire 200+ EHT team, and thanks to Katie for this great presentation.
*Fact or fiction* (What Exactly is this picture?)
Computer generated composite picture made From data received by multiple radio telescopes and processed via software, this is not a real photograph, is it is a part of a self imposed deception of the scientific community, in other words, it is Bullshit! And You are participating in Propagating this lie! Just listen to yourself, “they wanted to create” And indeed they did, nothing but a bunch of self deceived con artist and you have become part of this scheme or scam!
The astrophysical community has violated the following principle expressed in this statement “I would like to add something that's not essential to the science, but something I kind of believe, which is that you should not fool the laymen when you're talking as a scientist. . . . I'm talking about a specific, extra type of integrity that is not lying, but bending over backwards to show how you're maybe wrong, [an integrity] that you ought to have when acting as a scientist. And this is our responsibility as scientists, certainly to other scientists, and I think to laymen. “-Richard Feynman .
*So what is this thing?*
This object is more like a *Ring Nebula,* very common object! See this s22380.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2018-05-30_5b0f2bae3e351_RingNebulaM57RTMC5-25-18StackedStretched_HDRST.jpg
Or a *Ring galaxy* see picture upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/da/Hoag%27s_object.jpg
Congrats.
Respect.
Exciting.
I am SO nerding out right now.
This helps a lot in understanding the process. Thanks a lot for this. I wish I had that math to understand how Baysian idea can be used in this clean algorithm.
If you're interested, check out "maximum a priori" or MAP. It's a relatively simple Bayesian estimation method. All you need is some very basic knowledge in Statistics and Calculus.
We can clearly see that her mind talks faster than her mouth
I have the same problem so i understand her i never did something great its all in the mind but guess its the laziness
So you have to practice a public talk to general people otherwise you are just a lab rat that doesnt to the last step in scientfic method. Communicate
Bomb king what are you doing here ?
Awesome and great accomplishment, more likely an approximation of how black hole looks like
This 1st ever brightening yellow circled with black well like image is really very nice....!!!
What a great lecture. Thank you for sharing your knowledge professor. You passion and love for this advancement in science is infectious. Congratulations on becoming a teacher at Caltech. It is so nice to see someone with a joyful glow about education and starting out on their journey. I wish you many years of joyful exploration and adventure.
This video provides more clarity to that of Kip Thorne's. We live in an unbelievable exciting time. Thanks
What is the precise use of interferometry into the data combination? Radiowaves are received and measured by the eight EHT telescopes, they are synchronized and put together at the correlator, but I don't understand how interferometry, ie analyzing the combination of waves, help to form the black hole image, or at least giving the puzzle pieces which will be used by the algorithms to determine the black hole image.
Basically, I don't understand very long baseline interferometry...
This is a once-in-a-century achievement. I'm amazed at how the telescope was positioned so accurately. I would imagine that the slightest breeze would cause a massive shift of a radio telescope dish on the scale of the image.
The image is not a standard inage taken like a selfie. It is a computer rendered or reconstructed image using an algorithm. You can look up radio telescope inferometry.
Pratik Maitra yes, but even so, positioning is critical.
What an amazing presentation! Thanks for sharing
I read this on a book, now it is on youtube so exciting!
Caltech,can you please post in the description the arxiv links for all the papers used in this presentation? Thx
I love you.. Katie... thank you and your team for what you guys achive.

I feel like this is a scene of a really cool movie. Man, I love this lovely lady 💗
Amazing work! Can't wait for a couple of orbiting radio telescopes, maybe in Earth-Moon L4 and L5, that would make a pretty decent diameter telescope :-)
CONGRATULATIONS!Dr. Katie Bouman.HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU KATIE JI
impressive young lady - seems nervous - but she explained things well and showed a large amount of interest in the topic being discussed
She is not nervous, its obviously just her nerdy personality.
@@BingDwenDwen well that's your opinion and you are entitled to it.
Although the shadow works for the light source configured as shown, I am not totally sure how it works for other positioned light sources. I guess you may get a shadow for any light sources behind the black hole relative to the viewer from any angle. It is hard to know what the actual accretion disc has to do with the hole. It is also a debate still whether there is actual matter inside the black hole. I don't know how they got the data together but it may had to have to do with using each telescope as a group of pixel inputs rather than an image map. Also it must be very accurate how the telescopes are tilted, and maybe you'd want 2 reference points to scale and translate.
Charming young scientist and a damn good one.
This was an excellent presentation. I enjoyed it and understood a lot.
(non native be kind plz)
When they first released the image, the world was in awe, for a few hours. And then they her name appeared in the medias.
And as usual, people spoiled everything.
We had Dr Matt Taylor, critised for his shirt by feminist.
And now Dr Katie Bouman critised because the media focused on her (because she's young and a woman?!).
Her Colleague HAD to speak to defend her and about the backlack she recieved.
That's why we can't have nice things, we've got incredible achievement, and yet the focus is something futile.
I hope she'll be strong enough, if she sees the horrible comments her detractors made, to pursue her academic career.
Thank you Dr. Katie Bouman and everyone who worked on the project.
The media framed it as if she was entirely responsible for the image, when all she did was add code to a preexisting algorithm. Not that she necessarily deserves criticism, but she played one of the smallest parts in that project and is being propped up as if she did it all herself.
The media is to blame, as soon as they see a woman doing something they have to make a hero out of them.
@@iunnox666 Whoa. Stop right there. Her own teammates have publicly debunked the reddit bullshit statement that all she did was add a few lines to existing algorithms. She was a lead designer of one of the new algorithms, not some junior code monkey.
Yes, it was a team effort - but don't throw out her contributions just to say that. No one on the team has that coming.
The story has been corrected by the imaging lead from Japan and other members on Twitter. If this is a lesson in anything you do not engage the media unless it's in a clearly scripted concise way.

Quentin Castelli To be kind is important, but to to to be truthful this more important. Here’s some facts; Katie is nothing but a technician, why? *There’s no innovation here, it is just an application*

@@cymoonrbacpro9426 Every digital photo you have ever seen is a virtual photo by your definition. Your bias that there cannot possibly be anything new under the sun here is proof that you have no idea whatsoever is involved in the process or how it advances. To call the woman merely a technician is asinine.
Disclosure - I'm a former team member that helped develop space-based digital imaging systems still operating today. Spare me your explanation of whose shoulders she stood on and I'll spare you the list of whose I stood on. Along with Einstein, Hawking, and everyone else you care to name.
There are no lone wolves in science. Katie did really well and deserves the credit given.
Get over it.
I'm wondering - I heard about shoebox satellites, but don't know if they would be large enough to have the receiving power. Perhaps clusters of them is a couple of orbits?
I would love to know if the JWST will be able to provide a data point that helps with the atmospheric noise problem.
Unfortunately, JWST observes in a much smaller wavelength. What we need is to get these interferometry techniques to generalize to different wavelengths, though I suspect the smaller the wavelength, the more difficult it is to do this kind of interferometry.
Congrats to Dr. Bouman and the rest of the team. A staggering achievement....
If the cluster ring was facing us then an image like the movie interstellar could be formed since image would travel from the back of the black hole and appear from top and bottom,both being equally bright because coming from the behind of the black hole
This is so amazing! It is a huge step in space science and astrophysics. I would love to see a reaction video of when the team got the first images of the black hole.
That's a ton of work that's being presented. And she clearly knows what she's talking about! Respect
Ear mi now Katie Bouman! Bless Up!
Such a cool acomplishment! And great presentation!
Are the slides available online? It's difficult to read some of them, such as the blue-on-black lettering at 47:28.
Amazing presentation Katie. Congrats on a truly remarkable achievement.
2:34 we can see the light only when photons enters our eye (based on my understanding). so in an ideal case where photons revolve perfectly around the black hole, it wouldnt be the brightest. on the contrary, it would be dark as no photons enter our eye. Could someone clarify my confusion
Edit: thanks for clarifying !
yes so will we be able to see that orbit ?
you're right. The minimum we can see of the 'photon sphere' from our positon is that light that grazes the photon sphere and escapes toward our eye, which corresponds to around 2.6 times the event horizon
Is it correct to say, the black hole`s event horizon is a swirl of light, encompassing 360 degrees. But we only see the light/radiation that is directed towards earth?
tads73 exactly
What a fantastic presentation. Thanks for all your hard work.
Have we been pretty lucky on the size of the measurement ?
I mean
If the wavelength to be measured would require e lens the size the double of earth diamater that would have been impossibile with today technology with telescope placed on earth
Is that correct ?
Thx
It's important to not confuse wavelength with the (angle of measurement + signal strength).
The radio/infrared frequencies here are easily measured. Understand that -
frequency = speed/wavelength
wavelength = speed/frequency
And speed is a given, in this case it's basically *_c_* so you can use the terms frequency and wavelength as you prefer or need to describe a signal.
Next you have to consider signal strength. If you have Bluetooth headphones, they're operating on a wavelength of about 12.2 cm. You can't use them 100 feet away from your source (for example, your cell phone) because the signal isn't that strong. But we might if you had a specially-designed directional antenna that you could point right at your phone from that far away. And let's look from behind you, to straight overhead, to in front of you - that's about 180° and the other 180° is the ground below you and the horizons. How big is your cell phone at a hundred feet away? I think that you'll find it's less than 1° tall in your 180° sky. So if we really, really want to pick up just your phone we'll want to really focus that directional antenna.
And if we want to get really, really tight focus and lots of sensitivity to that signal that's so weak, we want a really large antenna.
_That's where the diameter comes in to play if we want to do the exact same thing for radio astronomy._
There are 60 arcminutes in a degree, 60 arcseconds in an arcminute. This black hole was measured with a 1/1000 arcseconds accuracy using the face of the earth. But compare it to the 1/100000 arcsecond measurements possible with an orbiting radio telescope, effectively 220,000 miles in diameter -

Would collisions of mini black holes in some sort of accelerator generate detectable gravitational waves?
Accelerators don't produce mini black holes so that part of the question is out. Theoretically, you could take something very massive and oscillate it to create a gravitational wave and that would be the realistic version of your question. The answer is that was considered very early on and we have nothing near the technology needed to produce a detector with the necessary sensitivity.
The black holes produced by an accelerator would be too small and wouldn't last long enough. Gravity is a function of mass, and you'd be talking about mass equivalents in the ludicrously tiny range.
@@SilenceAngelic If they were produced, they would evaporate *almost* immediately, no question. There's no question that the LHC *might* have created, or might create, miniature black holes that would either be detected evaporating or hitting escape velocity and drilling all the way out to deep space and beyond. That's been looked for since the first collisions there but it hasn't been seen yet. If or when it does happen, we'll have the first experimental evidence supporting string theory and I think we'll all hear about it. Unless I missed something that you have a reference to cite, I'll be happy for the correction.
but the big question is, does the black hole have wifi and will i be able to download more ram?
Is there a transcript available ?
"we have a class in here" bruh class is canceled let her answer the world's questions lol
Whether Evolution of molecules affected by that high dense gravity & gravitational lensing of light?
This method would also work if we have multiple telescopes in space then we can avoid atmospheric noise in the signals

Nope it's not. I'd like to know too. Maybe it's just as simple as Powerpoint or Keynote.
te amamos Katie,,, eres la más grande genia de nuestro tiempo.... aunque no entiendo inglés, sé que tu presentación debe ser genial...
Espero que hayas entendido al menos la primera parte de su presentación, en donde ella dice que la prensa lo ha hecho ver como si solo ella sola fue la responsable de la imagen. Fue un mérito de trabajo de equipo, que se ha venido realizando por varios años. No dudo que Katie es una genia, en absoluto. Pero hasta ella misma se siente incómoda que la prensa y los medios la representen como la única a cargo del proyecto.
So much excitement for science, very infectious ;-)

Oops - just got to 49:10 !
Her enthusiasm is itself very contagious. :)
Amazing! She's so young and has done such great things with love! Although I didn't quite understand the lecture....
Why does the date says June 1, 2019? It's April 15, 2019 today.
I guessed it was when her official start date for being an assistant professor is.
What date is this from?
Congrats Katie. Ignore the haters.
@Neil Mo more like people who think they are on the right side but they are not
Actually, most of those 'haters' have accurately noted that she was part of a team and did not sit in the center of the group effort by contributing disproportionately to the breakthrough. People asked whether media was truthful when they singled out Bouman as the face for the project. This was primarily a group effort that, which the 'haters' got right, what they also got right was that she is not even in the top third contributors (Achael, michaeldjohnson, and chancikwan was the three top contributors by effort and Bouman was the forth, most of her work done April to October), and people on the project that one of the pictures (If I remember correctly it was the one we're all being introduced to the most) her technique was not even used.
Despite all the above, this was the triumph of a group effort.
@Throngdorr Mighty I simply have made the observation, like others, that media and high profile individuals with some clout are deliberately fronting Bouman as the brain and/or pioneer behind this amazing feat of engineering because she fits the narrative of muh wamenz!
Yes, but not all were programmers or did simple scripting, she is not a programmer by the way, so the program they used to render the images of the black hole capturing mass is not mainly her creation (She did about 6%, by some sources, of the programming whilst other did almost 90%) but the effort of a larger team.
PS. There are videos on TH-cam breaking down what she did and didn't and how many participants there are involved in the project.
@@Teadon86 in short, media were caught red hand yet again to push a narrative. stem, sciences and so many domains are more and more infected and corrupted by the same ideologue who doesn't give a damn about objective truth, fact or logic.
@@unlimited971 Pretty much. Still, no matter what people say she did or didn't, she is a very smart person.
So inspiring
She's a keeper. %100 all in.
What an incredible lecture! Katie, I’m astonished by the way u explain thing in such a accessible way. EHT is an mesmerizing project that well had the opportunity to be alive to see it. I love science and strongly believe that it will lead us to most inspiring discoveries throughout decades. Happy to see the effort of all scientists in this project. Hugs to u :)
Really? Do you really understand what you see on the picture? Is it the light? Why do we see the light of the ring, when it is attracted by the black hole in center? Ok. Maybe it was far enough not to fall to the hole and got to us. But same should be also for the particles, that are between us and the hole. So, whay do we see the black circle in the middle?
That's a nice Da-Lite screen
Ah, to be young ... not to mention astonishingly brilliant, passionate, tenacious, daring, articulate ...

I don´t have words to thanks this himalayas of people in decades of theoretical and applied fields, and the Science methodologists experts and the outside collaborators of the team
next step, gravitational waves images!!!!!!!
Why don’t you put similar telescopes in the moon and the earth together and do the same trick. Can this improve the apparent size of the telescope?
Putting telescopes *IN* the Moon would be useless.
Dr. Bouman has pulled a piece of the universe puzzle from the sky and placed into the palm of our hands. She is truly a giant that we will stand on the back of, as civilization progresses further upwards to greatness.
That said ... OMG she so totes ADORABLE!
49:37 I wish Katie has explained also about the translational speed of the matter related to the innermost stable orbit and accretion disc, as well, why the disc seems to be more or less oriented to us. One more question, what is the theoretical shape of the black-hole? is it a hypersphere, for sure not a simple sphere.
29:47 trying to prove themselves wrong, that is good science.
I seriously have been wanting to go here for years.
