No joke, belief in the multiverse is probably so widespread now because of Neil deGrasse Tyson and Cosmos: A Space Odyssey. Pushing the idea that black holes contain universes -- and that our universe itself might exist within a black hole -- was pretty much the culmination of Season 1

Heino Falcke is the theorist & developer of this experiment. He spent 20 years of his life campaigning for funding & literally drove this experiment to reality.
This girl is one person on a team of the project and she is being portrayed as the master-mind of the entire project.
You wanna talk about why politics are in this thread but you seem like you don't know **** about the project or the amount of time it's been in the works.

[QUOTE=Griggz post_id=1577842861]Wtf are you talking about dude?

[url]https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asia/malaysian-scientist-team-behind-historic-black-hole-image-11433018[/QUOTE]CEO is the wrong term to use, spokesperson would be more accurate. At least in the US, she’s the person they’re putting in front of the cameras. You can be sure most of the people involved don’t want the public attention in the first place, and they certainly wouldn’t be getting up on a stage to give a TED Talk about the project. They probably just want to be recognized within their circles.
And to this researcher’s credit, she’s taking every opportunity to mention the collaborative nature of this work and how she’s one cog in the machine. The fact remains that a 20-something MIT grad contributing significantly to one of the biggest scientific moments in history is the makings of a compelling story. And media/news is in the business of telling compelling stories.
It’s probably also worth mentioning that the media/news sites were surely cognizant of the expected response to pushing a female researcher into the limelight and are capitalizing on angry guys spreading the word

The picture reminds me of the black hole scene in Interstellar.
I read how they used real data and spent a ton of money to make it look as real as possible, according to their theory of what it should look like.

Lol, its fake, you are being misled. Its "artist rendition" of actual RAW pic which is too stupid to look at and appreciate. It looks in reality from telescope like tiny pieces of sand. NASA PR Scam long known

lol at how they're pushing the narrative to make it seem so a 29 year old woman was responsible for leading the team and creating the algorithm (neither are true), she wrote about 0,0025% of the code. Neat nonetheless.

50 million light years away, meaning the radio waves they used to compose the image took 50 million years to reach the telescope.
Also meaning the image we're viewing is actually 50 million years old. Mind = destroyed

Here's an interesting thing. If we had a quantum lens and pointed it straight at the heart of a black hole, you'd get something staring back at you! When I astral projected into the heart of our galaxy's super massive black hole for the very first time, here is what I saw. A giant white hand with a dish or saucer shaped plate on the palm, spinning very fast. What looked like matter being drawn inwards and then rapidly expanding outwards, being shot out in different directions. Lots of light and energy activity.

I'm going to make an assumption that as a team lead, she's not going to be heavy hands on with ALL the code. Her thesis below was instrumental to the research.
One of the top comments from Reddit regarding this --
^^ First author on "Computational Imaging for VLBI Image Reconstruction"
Lets not be dumb and act like she's just a nobody. She was apparently a very valuable member to the team from all accounts.
One of the top comments from Reddit regarding this --
I'm seeing a lot of comments in here by people who havent had experience with github. Githubs lines of code measurement is an estimate that is usually wrong and counts a lot of things that arent actually code. Andrew did write a good amount of code. But from a quick glance through this github, most of those "lines" are models and data, not code. He didn't write 95 percent of the code.
Hes extremely accomplished and obviously very talented but I doubt he wants to be pitted against his teammate using false statistics.
Edit: I'm on a team right now where they person with the most "lines of code" is a non coding member of the team who exclusively uploads new datasets and documentation. Their part of the project is extremely important but it would be completely false to call them the primary dev or to give them credit for the majority of the code

Well this issue spiraled into a new direction. I will say this in the girl's defense, she didn't seem to ask for all this attention and is giving credit to the whole team whenever asked.
