“Lots of energy escapes the area surrounding the event horizon, due to the effects of the black hole. “
Like I said, you can’t see a black hole because nothing escapes the black hole.
“Like I said, you can’t see a black hole because nothing escapes the black hole.”
Like I said, it doesn’t matter. Look, I think we are in agreement but discussing apples and oranges. Here’s an article discussing the effects of energy escaping the area surrounding the event horizon due to the effects of the black hole in V404 Cygni.

Although the author speaks of it spitting out material, he clarifies that misleading statement by explaining it is an effect of the black hole sucking in a sun’s gas and superheating it causing it to emit a jet of superheated particles. This is an effect outside the event horizon, that scientists can “see”. They are not seeing the black hole itself, they are seeing the surrounding effects of the black hole.
Okay?
Ok.
"All the scientific inquiry and ambition has led to the widely ambitious Event Horizon Telescope, an international collaboration linking eight observatories to create a virtual telescope dish as wide as Earth.
Shazam, Sergeant Carter!
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Yep.... and people that believe these scientists know what is going on hundreds of light years away are ignorant.
“Yep.... and people that believe these scientists know what is going on hundreds of light years away are ignorant. “
How far can one believe before you consider them ignorant?
1 LY?
.5 LY?
??????????
It’s not the distance that creates the ignorance. It’s the willingness to believe someone who is obviously stating something that they can no way know to be accurate. And accepting that what they are saying is accurate just because. That’s the ignorance.
Ok. Then we can modify your previous:
“Yep.... and people that believe these scientists know what is going on hundreds of light years away are ignorant. “
Perhaps we should also remove scientists?
You could replace the word scientist in this case with a variety of words. Let’s list a few. Shall we? Dreamers, storytellers, conmen, subsidy takers, over educated fools. It could really be a long list.
E=MC^2 is very close to E=MV^2 so we have to give Newton a little credit too.
