Black Holes: Seeing the Unseeable

Күн бұрын

A century after Einstein's mathematics suggested the possibility of black holes, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is finally observing them. The project's latest achievement is the first image of the supermassive black hole in the center of our Milky Way galaxy. Join Brian Greene and the EHT's Founding Director Shep Doeleman to explore these stunning breakthroughs that are taking us ever closer to seeing the unseeable.

I was in grade 2, when I distinctly remembered reading a science book about the wonders of the universe, one being a black hole. At that time it was still very theoretical. Im 40 now, and through the years the theoretical turned more into a reality. But when they released these pictures for the first time, I was absolutely in shock. Something I knew for my earlier life as almost science fiction actually exists in full picture thanks to the brilliant work of this team. I think this may be the science achievement of the decade.

@@mehridin Absolutely. Although at times I have difficulty explaining my thought process to the majority of linear thinkers (not derogatorily used here) and I notice that it is conversely true too, they have difficulty either understanding or transferring their information to me. My fuzzy logic is difficult to translate, and most of lateral thinkers and visual thinkers have their own version so there is hardly any consistent way to learn or translate. Rough ride, but exactly as you state, important for our species and its progress as we cross fields, cross pollinate ideas and build new routes to new areas of any of the topics we set our mind to. Occupational hazard of being a lateral/visual thinker.

Spectacular images, which lead the curiosity to wander from the viewpoint - if telescopes were to capture imagery from a sidereal vantage point, what changes? Appreciating the wonderful work that's been conducted to date, but the size of planet Earth in relation to the observed suggests that the data will be limited - not only in clarity but also in content. So from a novice perspective, with 'wild' imagination, emergent questions are: 1. How could a range of telescopes be created to capture imagery from a vantage point sidereal to the black hole? 2. How far beyond (behind) a black hole could a telescopic camera be placed? 3. The double slit experiment shows that a photon can be in two places at once, so can the same be done with a teeny-tiny camera? No apologies for being 'wildly' imaginative Thank you again World Science Festival!

Interferometry has been used for many years at the Very Large Array telescope in western New Mexico. I'm happy to hear that similar technology has been expanded to encompass the world. I can't wait to see future technology increase the aperture of our telescopes to the diameter of the moon's orbit or the Earth's orbit or greater.

For example what frame drag might mean for a spaceship flying through it, and how frame drag and an object orbiting the black hole might interact. Too many black hole videos cater to novices. I love to see a video that goes a little deeper into the strangeness of a black hole, without getting into too much math. IDK. My thoughts anyway. At the end of the day I guess these videos are for viewership. Maybe that’s why?
