Real or fake?

what is it about black holes that makes them the number one most popular popsci topic of discussion amongst the brainlet soience fangoys?
is it the comic bookish aspects of the spectacular, unrealistic and completely non disprovable conjectures which go along with the topic that make black holes so popular amongst the scientist posers and wannabes?

Real picture.
But it doesn’t matter.
All black holes are basically the same and this looks like the one from the Messier galaxy.
So who gives a shit?

how do you get polarity information with that high resolution when the main picture's so blurry?

A picture is created by light hitting a sensor, so no that's fake. You cannot have a "picture" of a black hole. Wow an accretion disk, so amazing. I've never seen a disk around Saturn or a binary star system absorbing matter.

Because modern theoretical physics is unadulterated horseshit. Imagine devoting your entire life to to something you will never be able to test or prove.
It should be viewed as a curiosity & for one off papers. I honestly find the other boundary of absolute zero to be more interesting. And we can actually test our hypothesises there by running actual experiments.
But even that has been corrupted by the retardation of black holes with a new experiment using a BEC to test "Quantum properties of blackholes". Because as we all know, areas that contain highly energetic matter, moving with relativistic speeds would not be noisy environments or decohered in the slightest.

What do you mean? Astrophysics in general is a shitty science since it's not experimental and doesn't follow the scientific method, that's the opposite of a laboratory.

NTA but it's pretty obvious, don't you think? how else are they supposed to test hypotheses in extreme gravity fields?

What is actually inside the black hole beyond the event horizon? Is it just the remaining matter from the collapsed star packed into an extremely dense ball?

think that is magnetic field, which is further away than light around event horizon is. so doesn't lense?

Quite honestly I'm not sure why there's so much speculation and discussion about what is "inside" a black hole when in reality it is likely just said, unreasonably dense ball of degenerate matter that decays like anything else. Much in the same way Neutron Stars function, since they also create the same kind of gravitational lensing and tidal effects.

well theoretically you can kinda see where its event horizon is based on if shit is missing or not, from its background. if not actively feeding and having an accretion disk

It's an image of the accretion disk, the pole of the black hole is pointed almost towards us, a polarization filter is used to filter the "light", the black dot you see is essentially a little filter that blocks out the middle because it's too bright, you can't actually see the center, if you could image one without an accretion disk it would be most optimal, but that presents many difficulties

There's a "data visualization" layered on top of the main image. It's "stylistic" detail from what I can tell.

thx for reply.
>little filter
so all the visualitions of black holes with black centers are basically bs, since irl there would be too much radiated light just before the edge of event horizon? there are nasa animations with the filter included, which now seems little cringe

> No caption explaining which color represents which temperature
If I were a betting man, I'd put money on the ratio between the maximum temperature and the minimum temperature being ~3.
> The center is not black.
The picture is real, but this is not a black hole.
Because there is no such thing as black holes.
