This diagram shows the motion of the star S2 around the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way. It was compiled from observations with ESO telescopes and instruments over a period of more than 25 years. The star takes 16 years to complete one orbit and was very close to the black hole in May 2018. Note that the sizes of the black hole and the star are not to scale.

Meh. I’ll reserve judgement until the data from ESO’s Extremely Large Telescope comes in.

The main video is set to music that sounds like the instrumental track from a Barry White tune from the ‘70s.

Dance of the Holes

For gravity to affect it, wouldn’t light have to have mass? Or do we attribute the Doppler shift to the bending of space by the immense gravity of the black hole?

[reed13k]

I see this as a Doppler effect on the light wave caused by either decompression and/or compression. If it gets red as it approaches the blackhole, I would bet that the further away it gets the bluer the wavelength.

What is the % shift created by the gravity and what is the % shift created by the change in speed of the star?

[captain_dave]

That is not a test. Only interpreted observations which do not prove general relativity or black holes.

In the classic relativity thought experiment of one twin leaving on a spaceship while the other stays on Earth. What is missed is that relativity does not claim an absolute reference. So the one twin on Earth could be said to accelerate away from the twin on the "stationary" spaceship. Who gets older?

The theory has a lot of weaknesses.

In this graphic the colour effect and size of the objects have been exaggerated for clarity.

In other words, it's fake.

First successful test of Einstein's general relativity near supermassive black hole

Who is Michelle Obama's relative and what does Einstein have to do with it?
