Following the recent coverage of the first ever image of a black hole, I was wondering if a couple of the key people involved were Jewish. Like Einstein, whose theory of relativity this achievement apparently confirms.
This is the first photo of a black hole
"
We have seen what we thought was unseeable," said Sheperd Doeleman, director of the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration. "We have seen and taken a picture of a black hole."
The visual confirmation of black holes acts as confirmation of Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity."
Katie Bouman: The woman behind the first black hole image
"
A 29-year-old computer scientist has earned plaudits worldwide for helping develop the algorithm that created the first-ever image of a black hole.
Katie Bouman led development of a computer programme that made the breakthrough image possible.
The remarkable photo, showing a halo of dust and gas 500 million trillion km from Earth, was released on Wednesday.
For Dr Bouman, its creation was the realisation of an endeavour previously thought impossible."
