Mark you calendars: April 10th, the first picture of the blackhole in the middle of our galaxy will be revealed!
If they wanted anyone to believe them, they would have announced this a day later. 4-1-xx is the one day of the year that the Internet is useless, since everything is a stupid joke.
yes! I've always wondered, why is a black hole simulation always a 3d ball, in space, while in drawings of bh over a curved space it's more funnel-like? I mean, isn't a funnel also a 3d object?
well a black hole on a 2d plane would be a round hole but in a 3d world, it would be a black ball (not a funnel). The pic that has be taken will probably look like a swirling cloud of gas. Hopefully we will see the outline of the even horizon.
this is what confuses me with the simulations...
