You probably didnt tell him the parts left out of the Vox and every other lazy media piece. That we never took a photo of a black hole and the image you see is one of several possible models generated by a algorithm based on data from slices of the actual object taken by the telescopes. That their actual paper literally presents several possible computer generated models.
If they said it was taken 68 mil light years away, would you go full skeptic mode and realize its a lie? Nope. These people can literally tell you anything now and you will believe it.
Now am like:but its 54 million light years so we need 54 million light years to take it:and that black hole may have died or moved but just because its 54 light years away.so we see it how it looked 54 mil years before
@@kapekape7580 Black holes take a long time to die. And when i say long i mean a REALLY LONG time. That black hole is still running like it was 54 million years ago i can guarantee you that
It's amazing how we're looking at an image 54 million years into the past. Even though the waves are travelling at the speed of light it takes so long to get here. And this is just in our galaxy. Shows how lonely you are in this vast universe.
I think that one showed in the video is m87 (supermassive black hole from center of the Messier 87 galaxy, which indeed is 54 million years into the past ). They got picture of our own supermassive black hole Sagittarius A, and that one is about 25,000 years in the past.
This is not in our galaxy, nor anywhere near it. It is around 27 times further away then the andromeda galaxy, which itself is over 2 million light years away. It is the super massive black hole at the center of Messier 87, an extremely large and luminous elliptical galaxy in the virgo cluster. Using the same techinques, we may be able to take a more detailed picture of andromeda's (M31) super-massive black hole, but I am not really well educated on what was needed to take a pic of M87.
The milky way is not 54 million light years across. This image is the supermassive black hole from M87 which is nearly 2000 times more massive than our own and 25 billion miles across, and actually produced a clearer image than the one at the centre of our galaxy despite being "only" 25000 ly away.
So Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity which he formulated almost a century ago holds true today. How can you not like this or be amazed or marvel at this breakthrough
Actually most of his theories have been shown to be incorrect especially relativity. Basically we need to remember math does not equal science and any equation using "C" has been disproved mathematically since science has proven it is not a constant.

The matter around the black hole is just orbiting around it, retreating side on top, and the part that's coming toward us is the bottom, there is not a lot of stuff that's flinging toward us, it's just orbiting around the black hole. And just to be clear, the black hole is definitely not coming toward us, atleast not at the speed of light.
@@entrapy6378 To be fair quantum physics often doesn't make same sense as standard physics. And if he made those claims based on math remember he calculated/proved things by hand. So I can see how he could be sceptical of it.
Einstein's theory breaks down on the event horizon... nothing moves faster than the speed of light, so therefore if his theory is based off this fact, and the black hole moves faster than everything that stems off his theory is wrong, he was a genius tho
At 3:00 to 3:05: "We can see their finger prints, but we did not have their mugshots". I can not imagine a more elegant explanation than that. Keep up the good work.
Humanity's first image of a black hole isn't crisp and beautiful like the illustrations or the movie Interstellar. *_It's better._* gave me some major goosebumps
@winomagnet Of course there had to be an idiotic response :/ .. Stephen used a speech generating computer. He expressed so much through it. Hearing all his excitement, even though SGD, would've been very moving
the clearness is dictated by the radius of your furthest telescopes. So the way it will get clearer is using radio telescopes in orbit which brings its own set of complications.
peter green the event horizon isn’t an object, it’s just where the gravity of the singularity is so powerful it traps light, this means that the light can never reach us which is why it looks black.
@@Kewtopia That's abit different as the camera's sensor is photosensitive. When light photons are collected in the photosites a tiny electrical charge is produced. Just like phone calls taking sound vibration and turning it into an electrical charge. This is taking raw data as in dots on a piece of paper and then getting an artist to render it into a picture of what they think it would look like. Just like any images of the milkyway or any galaxy the telescope doesnt actually show these images just records data and artist produce the image. We havnt even got a telescope powerful enough to look up at the first moon landings rovers and flags on the moon. 🤣
I love how people say, this is a crap photo. Just imagine you are on space station and trying to take photo of a single ant at sea level. That's a understatement too. If that camera pointing at Earth, it probably could see the pore on your face.
Aayush Garg do you even know what telescopes and microscopes are?? Microscopes let us see stuff VERY up close and personal. Telescopes look up into space. The ones we see and use are not professional. The ones scientists use are professional.
Savannah Kennedy hun, this is a major breakthrough in science. And you complain it’s too blurry? You do realize that this is the only real photo of a black hole.
It’s just heartbreaking that Stephen Hawking, someone who worked so extensively in the field of astrophysics (especially black holes), never got to see this photo.
With math, no less. Always blows my mind that so many discoveries we've now observed were originally hypothesized with math. Really makes me wonder about the whole "everything is a hologram" math problem they've been working on since the 70s.
@Objective Realist thats how things work.i think u lack imagination.because first u suspect by the given data and create an imagination that it might be this way.then u go on proving it.thats how brilliant inventions,discoveries work.without proposing any thought u cant work on it
BlueFluffyPenguin exactly what I was thinking honestly. I’ve seen tons of videos and posts about how it’s been formed but none explaining why it’s such a big deal as of yet
They explained at the beginning why black hole is such a big deal because it comes from Einstein theory of General Relativity. This photo just means that they prove the old dude theory is right and that added further explaination of our galaxy and its gravity. Coz for centuries, all the black hole photos that exist in books and internet are just mere illustration and this is the first real photo of a black hole, though its blurred. You can watch this video here for further explaination: th-cam.com/video/lRI9ZUs0BXY/w-d-xo.html
and to think that image is actually the image of the black hole 54 million years ago, before humans even existed, is just crazy, it's like a time machine
I Am An Adult its actually quite close. Hubble has imaged galaxies that are over 10 billion light years away, WAY before the Earth even existed, before the milky way even existed. Space is impossibly huge.
Yet, unlike what the video description mentions, the photons aren't 54 million years old, because they never experienced a moment of time, traveling at that speed.
Isaac C. Well....the photons were created or emitted 54 million years ago, and have been traveling for that length of time, as we perceive it. Anything moving at the speed of light, time stops. So far, only light that we know of does this.
There is something highly inspirational about a group of telescopes working in unison around the world to better improve our understanding of the Universe. This is humanity at its best and we should always strive for this, especially after so many negative events in 2020...
@@BMW_nation Even your eyes and brain need a few nanoseconds to process the light, so no matter how close something is, everything you see is in the past.
HUNGRY SHARK basically the distance is so far that the light that reaches us is considered to be in the past. A lot of the stars you see in the sky in fact are dead and don’t produce light any more. What you see now is the light that the star once produced and is making its way towards us. Hard concept to grasp but it really puts things into perspective.
Well it’s a shame that no one can outrun death. That’s something that science cannot stop. As clever as scientists may be they still have flaws. And I’m not talking about scientific flaws.
Aliens are real the government even said they are working with them but no ones talking about and the whole universe there’s prob like thousands of different kinds
They didn't literally take a photo of it but they needed a freaking *supercomputer* working with 8 massive telescopes and insane luck for months to do this. YET I THOUGHT MY PHYSICS CLASS WAS HARD
Do you like,, have people hired or do you share accounts with others? I see you everywhere and you commented this a year later too.. are you working for the government.
There are so many people who worked their whole lives to get us to this point that will never get to see this. This is truly amazing! Their work was not in vain.
That's the point - artist's interpretations are based off the predictions of General Relativity. The fact that it looks exactly as General Relativity predicts is more evidence proving General Relativity is true.
whats the difference between theoretical science and religion ? none, they both put their faith in something they cant see / feel. The only advantage one side has is they had tv to enhance the brainwashing.
Why this black hole photo is such a big deal Video: explains it in 6 minutes Me: Because I used to think that blackholes are too theoretical to really exist.
but really before this photo we had thousands of proofs that black holes do actually exist, so no, that's not the main reason why this is so important...
Was this image taken as a whole / single image or is it a picture that has been properly adjusted and depicted with different images from those different places?
95% of the ocean and 99% of the ocean floor is unexplored and some remote places on land have still not been throughly explored. There is still plenty on earth to discover, there has been 10 new mammals discovered in the last 10 years and in 2015 alone 1,351 new species of sea life were discovered.
@Objective Realist "Gas balls don't burn in a vacuum" What are you referring to? Suns? Comets ? Suns burn via nuclear fusion, not combustion. And comets don't burn at all, they melt. I know that this can be hard to understand, but you should probably study things before dismissing them.
ITS FAKE,thats why its blurry,THE HUBBLE takes crystal clear pictures,but you'll Never get to see any of them,hahaha THEIR ALL of the NIBIRU MINI SOLAR SYSTEM that about to cross our path,and KILL haft the people on earth..AND these DEVILS who call themselves SCIENTISTS won't warn you either...

The matter around the black hole is just orbiting around it, retreating side on top, and the part that's coming toward us is the bottom, there is not a lot of stuff that's flinging toward us, it's just orbiting around the black hole. And just to be clear, the black hole is definitely not coming toward us, atleast not at the speed of light.

Einstein's theory breaks down on the event horizon... nothing moves faster than the speed of light, so therefore if his theory is based off this fact, and the black hole moves faster than everything that stems off his theory is wrong, he was a genius tho

Ace Rockefeller Also the "pictures" you take with your phone are not real photographs, it’s data interpreted, that’s how digital cameras work.
Ace Rockefeller not surprised from a Rockefeller
@@Kewtopia That's abit different as the camera's sensor is photosensitive. When light photons are collected in the photosites a tiny electrical charge is produced. Just like phone calls taking sound vibration and turning it into an electrical charge. This is taking raw data as in dots on a piece of paper and then getting an artist to render it into a picture of what they think it would look like. Just like any images of the milkyway or any galaxy the telescope doesnt actually show these images just records data and artist produce the image. We havnt even got a telescope powerful enough to look up at the first moon landings rovers and flags on the moon. 🤣

They explained at the beginning why black hole is such a big deal because it comes from Einstein theory of General Relativity. This photo just means that they prove the old dude theory is right and that added further explaination of our galaxy and its gravity. Coz for centuries, all the black hole photos that exist in books and internet are just mere illustration and this is the first real photo of a black hole, though its blurred. You can watch this video here for further explaination:
