First ever Black Hole Picture

Your last sentence, are you talking about my wife. In fact most of what you say does apply to her as she certainly does my head in.

I thought it was the Brexit thread.

It was not “photographed.”

It was a collection of radio signals put through algorithms to produce an image.

I saw an article it’s actually a picture made up of trillions of bits of different information put together it’s not a single shot, some young lady came up with some algorithms to put it all together!!

A young lady you say?

You know the rules.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Maybe God, who art in 'Eaven, are both hiding inside it?

Nope, thought not.

That Billy Graham guy still hasn't got back, either!

Spaghettification I say.

What does my head is the infinity of it all. Just cant get my head around there being no end, I mean if there was an edge of space, like a wall of sorts...whats on the other side of that wall? Messes my mind up thinking it goes on and on and on and on and on and on.......

Yep, there was some scientist on Sky yesterday, bascially saying there's more Earth like planets than grains of sands on our beaches.

Moot point that. I can envisage a device which receives a collection of electromagnetic radiation signals and processes that information to produce an image.

I have a name for my new invention! A "camera"!

Although the one I am imagining is tbf slightly more portable.

 

[denislawsbackheel]

Not moot at all.

It did not receive any optical signals at all and they had to fanny around with algorithms until the computers produced the image they expected.

Scientific method not.

Algorithms. What are they....?.?........;(
