Sure there is. In the center of the milky way is a black hole, There is a side that faces the solar system’s place in one side of the galaxy’s arms. There is a side that faces away from the solar system.
All I’m saying is that our actual view of the light photons emanating from that hole includes both the side facing and the side facing away.
I’m familiar with the scientific theory and find it problematic.
I’m waiting for the actual photos to be released and not the artist’s rendition.
I understand it will be soon.
I watched this video several days ago which presents the theory you stated. I am a skeptic.
How to Understand the Black Hole Image
Using my every day intuition I wondered: will we see the "shadow" of the black hole even if we're looking edge on at the accretion disk? The answer is yes because the black hole warps space-time, so even if we wouldn't normally be able to see the back of the accretion disk, we can in this case because its light is bent up and over the black hole. Similarly we can see light from the bottom of the back of the accretion disk because it's bent under the bottom of the black hole. Plus there are additional images from light that does a half turn around the black hole leading to the inner rings.
What about the black hole "shadow" itself? Well initially I thought it can't be an image of the event horizon because it's so much bigger (2.6 times bigger). But if you trace back the rays, you find that for every point in the shadow, there is a corresponding ray that traces back to the event horizon. So in fact from our one observing location, we see all sides of the event horizon simultaneously! In fact infinitely many of these images, accounting for the virtually infinite number of times a photon can orbit the black hole before falling in. The edge of the shadow is due to the photon sphere - the radius at which light goes around in closed orbits. If a light ray coming in at an oblique angle just skims the photon sphere and then travels on to our telescopes, that is the closest 'impact parameter' possible, and it occurs at sqrt(27)/2*r_s
For the record, my link is the same interesting 9 min youtube as yours.
I want her it a couple of days ago and discussed it with a friend.
I plan on discussing it with another friend I will see tomorrow evening who is a retired astrophysicist. He was in charge of the NASA SETI Project. He’s my go to on frequency of light and consciousness research I’m doing.
Darn spellchecker on phone is getting worse.
I watched it a couple of days ago and discussed it with a friend who I sent the link to.
I plan
Yes, that was funny.
I perceive a spiral galaxy and the black hole like an hourglass. We are in the visible positive matter side, the other side is the anti-matter side and the black hole connects the two. Thus my statement about the other side of the black hole being a big bang.
Everything must balance in a system.
Not necessarily true or accurate, but my perception.
There was an interesting news story that our black hole, which is 26,000 light years away, is getting bigger.
Awesome post! Nice summary by Truman.
Truman’s summary shuts up most liberals I still run into.
Maybe it's getting smaller. Because it's full. The event horizon will eventually close. As it gets smaller, more light escapes from the stars that were once not visible.
You should have just said, there is no opposite side.
Remember back when everyone believed in the 'butterfly effect'? Maybe it's butterfly-made climate change.
