Sarcastically speaking, I just Love how in this biography, they casually speak about being held at gunpoint towards a resolution process......not over drugs, but over a bunch of telescopes! All non-challant and what not!!?
I agree with this statement here. And as was said before, imagining is the first step to understanding. What great people: Einstein, and those who can show his theories as valid, despite the huge efforts of community cooperation and commitment required.
I'm pretty sure he got to see some sort of image related to this. He has contributed a lot to the theories of black holes as many other scientists. It's cool to see this come together, never the day would I think of people "photographing" a black hole.
He must have seen a version of it. The image we see is just the one they've released. I would imagine there was an earlier version that wasn't a visible spectrum photo that he would have seen via the data.
Their team did a great job.. But I think they also break the record for most data collected and the longest time taken to take a picture.. wonderful job
"There is plenty of scope for things to go wrong, and one after another, they did. Equipment failures - OK power failures - Yup not enough hard drives to store data - It happens ... some of the scientists were even held at gunpoint during the observations." - WHAT
Thanks to everybody who have been part of the EHT. The result and what you’ve done is incredible and let’s me trust in human kind, although we live in mad, crazy times.
Beauty?, it's just an orange ring round a black blot. Don't be so mesmerized. This is only stupid athiest theory where they feel they are getting closer to the questions about how universe began. The answer is right here on earth if they cared to look, that God created the universe and space is just a magnificent sky for us to praise God by gazing at his wondrous creation. Gazing with our naked eye rather than wasting billions on space exploration when we could use that money to feed the world's poor
Event Horizon Team u guys literally started a New Era in Astronomy.....Just Tooooooo Much Respect for all those painstaking Nights🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌....Thank you so Much....!! we need more people like u all💓🌌
You do realize that there are some scientist that are religious and look at the universe as a marvelous work of art considering everything is perfectly placed in a way that it worked together for us to even be able to exist. I am not a scientist but this is one way I chose to give glory to god. Science and religion do not have to be at odds with one another. In this way you have created another war by introducing the idea that you have to chose a side. Anyways, I am thankful that God allowed me to be able to witness such a great collaboration and image in my lifetime. I am seeing this at 30 and can understand how amazing this is, luke my parents were able to witness the moon landing. I am excited to see what amazing thing we can discover next, maybe even dark matter or energy 👊😎😃
Congratulations you have done exceptional teamwork. Your discovery of seeing a black hole is truly phenomenal. It is good to see so many nations and researchers from all over the world, this is what should always happen in scientific research in every field. Union is always a great strength. Congratulations on your great success. I hope that this will always continue so many thanks to the whole group.🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❣️
On Monday July 1st 2019 at 6:57 PM a sum of 512 conspiracy theorists and guys who like to get angry about things they don't understand (= Dunning Kruger effect) dislikes this great documentary about one of the greatest achievements of man(kind). 😞 Luckily it has more than 18.000 likes which speaks for the intellectual capabilities among the 838,222 viewers as of the same date and time I already mentioned. 😏 In other words: Thanks European Southern Observatory (ESO) RUclips channel to put up this great short documentary. And a list of questions: To all the conspiracy theorists and guys (and gals) who spread anger and false theories, playing the enlightened ones without understanding how science actually works. - Do you want to feel like a Neo from Matrix, albeit a Neo falling for false mentors? - Why do you who refuse to understand the way modern science should be presented, likes to get angry instead of using this by now wasted energy to understand what you see? - Why don't you pay attention to the explanations in this video and learn by carefully listening what is explanatory computer animations and what's the actual pictures? Especially when one thinks that I as a German to whom English is the second language understood the overall picture and when was shown what, this should especially tell native English speakers something about their attention span. - Why do you accuse NASA of lying but fully ignoring that this documentary was hosted by a part of the European space programm and observation. - Why do you feel the need to spit out hatred and distrust on true authorities on science and research who earned their reputation (almost on par with the ancient Roman concept of Auctoritas) by learning for decades of their lives. - Can it be that you're against Einsteins discoveries because he is of a certain religion antisemites hates? - Can it be that you're against this video just because you're against women doing science stuff thus being misogynist? - Why do you conspiracy theorists and anti-science guys are so prone to use strong and violent language? - Aren't you eloquent enough to ask your questions or state your opinions in a polite and cultivated grown up manner? Well, just asking questions here. 🤔 And a call for: - Being proud to be a member of a species which has the ability to observe things so far away, a species which learned to overcome its natural limitation by ingenuity and intellect trumping over feelings and a backwater thinking. - Being proud that so manny people choses to cooperate to achieve a greater goal, to overcome old fashioned hate and mutual prejudices. - Being proud that they overcame all the diverse issues and problems by sheer will and cleverness. - Being aware that we live in such a great time of new discoveries, knowledge. Well, we might not colonize new continents anymore, but we can "conquer" worlds millions of light years away. - Being aware that we now live in a world full of knowledge, achievements, technology our ancestors 100 years ago would have considered a strange sureal fantasy, not even respected as science fiction anymore. So, again, thank you European Southern Observatory (ESO) RUclips channel for putting up this great video. 🤗
Just imagine the accomplishments humanity could achieve if everyone got along and worked together. The image if this black hole is just the tip of the iceberg. There’s so much more out there that we’ve yet to discover.
173 dislike? May be from those guys whose application to do research in those institutes got rejected? Seriously, I can't understand what people except? There should be a compulsory comment from the people who dislike such a great videos. At least we get to know what great thoughts they had while disliking.
I like how the scientists all over the world came together as a team combined efforts and worked with dilligence and resilience day in day out for quite some years just to capture the image of this mysterious object THE BLACK HOLE.
In past we see storms(cyclones) on Earth, now we see it in the space, in the shape of black holes. It's really amazing and the most powerful phenomena of not only the universe but in fact the multiverse.
Christian Fuchs Wonder if the planned location of the James Webb telescope would be better or worse than one parked on the moon, when linked up with earth based telescopes in this way?
@@johnfrancisdoe1563 I think that where the JWST will be placed, is a zone with less sun radiation than if it was placed in the Moon. Imagine Moon's soil reflecting all that light from below. No-No...better far away from any floor.
How about one at each lunar pole and then a few around the equator ? That way we could turn them on or off as needed for the best view possible , maybe next some in the Tropics (Cancer/ Capricorn)at alternating sites from the equator... WOW what a view we could get then, yes it would take a while to complete but ooh what a pay off, turn the moon into an observatory!
It was John Michell who first posited the idea of 'Black holes' in 1783. _in a paper for the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London._

I did it ,and I feel great. Where is mi nobel?
I think the most amazing thing about this is actually how smart all the people on this team are. The mathematics, electronics, computers, timing etc. It is easier for me to imagine the blackhole itself than to imagine being half as smart as these scientists. These peolple should be our societies rockstars for what they do. They're awesome!!
I hope everyone realises how important this was for us as a species, not only have we now actually seen something once thought science fiction but imagine now what’s possible with VLBI
I was very excited to see the picture. I hope you can get even better pictures in the future. The Snowmobile just transports your data to Amazon where you store it with resilience. This was a cool project and I'm glad you were able to pull it off!
What we've achieved till this day is really unprecedented & what we can achieve further is unimaginable. We've seen a black hole now !!!!!! (doesn't matter whether it's a shadow) Amazing!!!!! Such collaborations should also be done for relatively nearby objects as well. Our observations will be refined to the greatest ever achieved !! I know it's costly but it'll unravel great mysteries for sure.
@@waikintang8246 wayyy too many people involved. If that were true, the truth would've definitely come out. It's real, especially if you would think for a moment how many people that worked on this have spent their entire lives hoping to capture something like this. There's absolutely no way EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM just conceded to creating a fake image and giving up on their dreams.
First of all, a great discovery & congratulations to everyone who believes in the possibilities of science. Now, having said that, my question would not be why the image appears fuzzy (I know the problem scientifically). But my question is: When a Blackhole is known to gulp any matter in a lightning fast speed & nothing could reflect out of it, why & what stands & shine at the event horizon? Moreover, the jet streams that are thrown out of a black hole, how do they get out of it with such speed & length?
You know what will really make you cry? Homeless people living in bushes, eating out of trashcans, while a bunch of rich people waste billions on crap like this. They have to keep the lie going, if you found out you can't go into space you would be mad as hell. The reality is all of it is a lie, sure they sprinkle a tiny bit of truth in just to keep your interest, but it is mostly lies. No one is going anywhere, they just sent peoples imaginations into space. Why do you think they call it science fiction? Key word is fiction, it's not real.
So i have a question that i dont know who i could ask so im asking here and maybe someone can answer it to me! When we observe something in the universe we see a picture of the past form of it, so if something is really far away, for example 55 million light years away, then we see how it was 55 million years ago. But if this object has a course that's coming straight at us, this would mean that in reallity, now this object is really much closer to us than it was 55 million years ago. But wouldn't that mean that it would be easier to watch it now that's its closer, so now it would be for example 30 million light years away. But again you are wathcing something of the past, so now it could be even closer , so what do you really see if the object is coming right at you? Well, thinking of it again, i think i just answered my own question. The universe is always expanding, so objects, in that distance at least, would never be able to come towards us, so you only see them getting further away? Anyway, if you read the whole thing, just leave your ideas below :)
There's a fairly easy way to determine if a light source is moving away from or towards to. Due to the Doppler Effect, light from a source moving away from you is red-shifted since the light's wavelength is 'stretched'. Long wavelengths are in the red spectrum. When it's moving towards you it's blue-shifted, because the wavelength appears compressed. Short wavelengths are in the blue spectrum. The amount of 'shifting' can be used to determine the current position. But don't ask me about the math involved ;)
11:46 Actually, M87 had a third major advantage: it is a currently active black hole, i.e. matter falls into it (well, 50 million years ago, and its light is reaching us now). Cheers!
He didn't predict black holes at all, he even thought they weren't real. Schwarztchild did this by using the relativity theory, OK its from Einstein but even with his own theory Einstein didn't think about black holes at all in his works,that's pretty funny
I've been waiting for so long for this moment. What a beautiful image. This is one of humanity's greatest discoveries/achievements ever made. Now, time to continue anxiously waiting for the James Webb.
@Davvy Jannes What an original rant! I think Stephen was already so sure about his calculations that he knew for real THIS day was coming....only that he was so ahead of billion of Us....he was absolutely aware of BH's before they can be proven real. But, I wish he was alive today....😭
@Davvy Jannes I appreciate your explanation on my casual comment. Every person who is taking modern science forward is Alpha. I am a fan of Stephen Hawking since my childhood. Theory of everything was always with me. And that small book opened my field of interest in modern science. It takes me to general theory and makes me believe Einstein equations. I admire both equally (But differentiate when i used to see Stephen struggling with his condition, doing that great job) He gave us hope to understand endless universe.
Salute you all for this unprecedented achievement by global collaboration. I watched this more than once and I am exhilarated upon this work and congratulate you all. I am waiting for further discoveries about our universe like" what are quasars", what actually is gravity? etc. Subramanian Areekode, Kerala, India
@@playlist7632 its 55 million years ago, starring at night sky is like starring at the past, the photon that they capture is 55 million years of image as of current time, maybe that blackhole is bigger in the current time.

Moreover, the jet streams that are thrown out of a black hole, how do they get out of it with such speed & length?
when I first saw this picture it's beauty made me cry.
You must have been a mess when lady di got killed by that fat opera singer paparazzi
You know what will really make you cry? Homeless people living in bushes, eating out of trashcans, while a bunch of rich people waste billions on crap like this. They have to keep the lie going, if you found out you can't go into space you would be mad as hell. The reality is all of it is a lie, sure they sprinkle a tiny bit of truth in just to keep your interest, but it is mostly lies. No one is going anywhere, they just sent peoples imaginations into space. Why do you think they call it science fiction? Key word is fiction, it's not real.
@@faithismespeaks6848 Take that shit somewhere else dude, I'm sorry that you think space doesn't exist lol
We too are proud of you team... and we are privileged to live in your times..
....ahahahahahahaha
Why not show the entie image? It's amazing!
عمل جبار... سنتين من جمع البينات لكن مايحزنني هو أن الغرب والشرق في تقدم هائل والعرب في مصائب وفقر وثورات لقد طالت الغفوه.. عسى فرج قريب. 🇸🇦
What a leap! Congratulations all and thank you!
historical moment for physicist
😂😂😂😂😂.
SPACE DOES NOT EXIST. Completely fake.
2nd law of thermodynamics violation.
Fake space, enjoy...
Not!!!
So i have a question that i dont know who i could ask so im asking here and maybe someone can answer it to me!
When we observe something in the universe we see a picture of the past form of it, so if something is really far away, for example 55 million light years away, then we see how it was 55 million years ago. But if this object has a course that's coming straight at us, this would mean that in reallity, now this object is really much closer to us than it was 55 million years ago. But wouldn't that mean that it would be easier to watch it now that's its closer, so now it would be for example 30 million light years away. But again you are wathcing something of the past, so now it could be even closer , so what do you really see if the object is coming right at you?
Well, thinking of it again, i think i just answered my own question. The universe is always expanding, so objects, in that distance at least, would never be able to come towards us, so you only see them getting further away?
Anyway, if you read the whole thing, just leave your ideas below :)
Yep you answered your own question 😉
@@T1000-s4j well this sounds safe, but its actually trully frightening... :/
G.P. Some objects move towards us, but never faster than the speed of light. So we still see things in the right order.
There's a fairly easy way to determine if a light source is moving away from or towards to. Due to the Doppler Effect, light from a source moving away from you is red-shifted since the light's wavelength is 'stretched'. Long wavelengths are in the red spectrum.
When it's moving towards you it's blue-shifted, because the wavelength appears compressed. Short wavelengths are in the blue spectrum. The amount of 'shifting' can be used to determine the current position. But don't ask me about the math involved ;)
But the black hole we see is that which was 55 million years ago...
Is it not there anymore as we speak?
@@albertocastro4435 no. At a certain distance away from earth you can see dinosaurs.
@@albertocastro4435 55 million years is not that much :-)
@@albertocastro4435 black holes have a life span longer than the estimated length of the universe

What a fantastic discovery. Amazed and enthralled.
Kudos to the whole team
For such an incredibly marvellous
Discovery.
Your efforts undoubtedly deserve global glory.love you all guys
Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences must get headache,
they can't handle so many Nobel Prizes in Physics in a year.
Awesome micro-documental, definitely a groundbreaking discovery
We’re seeing that black hole 55 million years ago.
If you wanna see a recent black hole. Take a look at don king or mike tyson
Ok duh, asshole.
11:46 Actually, M87 had a third major advantage: it is a currently active black hole, i.e. matter falls into it (well, 50 million years ago, and its light is reaching us now).
Cheers!
No words to describe this victory...simply priceless...
Blackholes, this is a secret universe of IDENTIFIED, FLYING OBJECT.
Einstein would be very proud if he would be alive today
@@PelonMusk not his brain ...
That man was truly ahead of his time
If he was alive I would kill him for creating math
@@xent7aryf-159 He didn't create math. Math was a simple concept as early as the ancient civilizations
Stephen Hawking too
How come einstein did know this 100 years ago???!!! Einstein brain at its finest
Actually more at physics than math.
@Deborah Lancaster Wrong
@@danielekiryloactually physics IS maths.
He had a hell of an imagination and thinking outside the box.
He didn't predict black holes at all, he even thought they weren't real. Schwarztchild did this by using the relativity theory, OK its from Einstein but even with his own theory Einstein didn't think about black holes at all in his works,that's pretty funny
Why is there an accretion disk around a black hole and not an accretion sphere? Why is it 2D and not really 3D?
thanks to all team
I've been waiting for so long for this moment. What a beautiful image. This is one of humanity's greatest discoveries/achievements ever made. Now, time to continue anxiously waiting for the James Webb.
Why were they held at gunpoint at one stage?
They weren't. Its a lie. Just like "black holes".

Stephen Hawking would be happy to see this
i bet Einstein would too
@@noahoxley6 yes he was a true alpha of modern physics
He already was happy enough to prove THIS on his mind, years before 😎
@Davvy Jannes What an original rant!
I think Stephen was already so sure about his calculations that he knew for real THIS day was coming....only that he was so ahead of billion of Us....he was absolutely aware of BH's before they can be proven real.
But, I wish he was alive today....😭
@Davvy Jannes I appreciate your explanation on my casual comment. Every person who is taking modern science forward is Alpha.
I am a fan of Stephen Hawking since my childhood. Theory of everything was always with me. And that small book opened my field of interest in modern science. It takes me to general theory and makes me believe Einstein equations.
I admire both equally (But differentiate when i used to see Stephen struggling with his condition, doing that great job)
He gave us hope to understand endless universe.
One word = Wow. Well done ~*~. Thank you to all involved.
Me: Starts watching this video
My mind : Starts playing 'No Time for Caution'
"See you there slick"

This makes me wanna be a scientist! I'm studying hard to be one 😄😃
How its going bro?
Kudos all those scientists who gave up from their personal life to work on benefit of progress and humanity.
Salute you all for this unprecedented achievement by global collaboration. I watched this more than once and I am exhilarated upon this work and congratulate you all. I am waiting for further discoveries about our universe like" what are quasars", what actually is gravity? etc.

This is a monumental event for humanity! Black hole is no longer a mystery but fact.
This is a dream come true since my chilhood! 😍 🌈
OMG I was about to comment that. Same!!!
i remember thinking hard and something simlar coming to my mind.
Tax dollars well spent, good job. Lifetime achievement for those involved.
Thanks to Sir Newton for humanity will be forever grateful to you.
The fact that the black hole image they captured is 55 million years ago in the current time.
Is it 55 million years or 55 million light years ago?
@@playlist7632 its 55 million years ago, starring at night sky is like starring at the past, the photon that they capture is 55 million years of image as of current time, maybe that blackhole is bigger in the current time.
Togetherness and time...
Humans are wonderful
I wonder what flat-earthers think about this!
