Or maybe Takeshi Miyagi Miyazaki just fucked up in their radio analysis / interpretation of it. Also wtf do they mean by saying that the accretion disc is elongated? The EHT picture doesn't show the entire accession disc anyway.

Nope. There already already multiple independent reanalyses of the EHT data, all of the others found a result consistent with the published image. The most likely explanation is that Miyoshi fucked up his analysis, some of that is described here in that he forces to algorithm to recover structure on scales which aren't sampled. Does he show his result is repeatable with other codes? No. The EHT team did, with 3 different methods and it has been independently reproduced.

he still has a point. heavily inferred images are not pictures of the thing. unfortunately there is no clear dividing line between artificial and natural images; I, personally, would not even consider the false-color images of nearby objects like Mars as 'images of the thing'. an image is only something that shows what I would see with my own eyes. false-color and statistically constructed "images" are useful, but in this age of total distrust they should be called something else or at least clearly watermarked with "NOT A REAL IMAGE".

That is a shitty definition. Your computer screen is showing you an image of this board, a completely artificial construction. It's still an image though.
What you propose would be stupid, as the information in the image file is no different if it was taken with a visible light camera or an x-ray detector. Both are stored as 2D image arrays, and can be shown graphically. They are just as real as each other.

The retards are looking at this picture and thinking "of course thereโ€™s ring are you people blind?" They are not intellectually curious enough to find out HOW these images are generated to begin with. They imagine itโ€™s like taking a photo of the night sky, just boost contrast / saturation with time-lapse photography to get nice colors etc. These electro telescope images arenโ€™t "images" at all, theyโ€™re electromagnetic frequency data which are color-coded using advanced models to map frequencies to colors to generate the image. To get the OPโ€™s image a tiny sliver of data was tweezered out of a massive jumble of background signal and the model tweaked until the desired ring was generated. Basically the image creators messed with it until the resulting image showed what they wanted it to show. The problem was that not only was signal-to-noise so low as to be no different from noise ("artifact") but also that the image creators had to break established models for color-mapping. Itโ€™s super advanced esoteric radio-imaging shit under discussion but I saw a good video on it here: https://youtu.be/ZlrTe1mi5EQ

>The problem was that not only was signal-to-noise so low as to be no different from noise ("artifact")
Completely false. Pick related shows the visibility amplitudes of the 2016 EHT results from 2016 as reported by Miyoshi et al., on the left is the signal to noise ratios. You can see that the different baselines have SNRs of up to a few hundred, particularly those that include ALMA. So no, it's not low.
Robitaille has no idea what he's talking about, he apparently hasn't even read the paper he's citing. He has never looked at the data, or any astronomical data, he has no idea how VLBI really works. And neither do you.
>also that the image creators had to break established models for color-mapping

I think people would be SHOCKED to learn just how few actual โ€œscientistsโ€ there are. I mean people who understand their fields from the basic theories on up to the theoretical level. The ACTUAL reason why skepticism is met with dismissal / hate instead of a response is because most people who claim to be scientists are no such thing. They have a certain baseline of knowledge but not a fundamental understanding. For exampleโ€ฆ
Skeptic claim โ€œxโ€
Scientist: x has been proven wrong by experiment y where researchers tested it using the following formulationโ€ฆand it also violates Whoeverโ€™s Law which was proven by z experiment inโ€ฆ.
Scienceologist: youโ€™re a science-denying crank
Notice that with an actual scientist and actual exploration of the issue is possible even if he is completely confident in his belief, and, in extension, is open to having his belief altered in light of new information. The Scientologist is more like a priest repeating canon law and is uninterested in debating it; to him, questioning the dogma is a moral failure.

In the end we are products of this reality, I could ramble on about what makes this universe special like how matter won against anti-matter or all the unique properties that keep the universe stable enough to support us and what exactly it took for you to exist but don't forget how insignificant you and I are. Remember to be humble, It is a privilege to be alive, an unbelievable amount take existence for granted, most live day to day just completely unaware of how much they owe to just being alive. if you are feeling hurt about a girl leaving you or someone dying or maybe something made you trip in life like someone abusing you, remember that you are alive, born healthy and were born in the greatest century so far to be alive. Life is fleeting and there is a very good chance consciousness is a temporary state. Whether there is an afterlife or not both are equally terrifying. If you are ever in a rough spot remember to be kind to yourself and to others, most people will not return it but so be it. Expecting a reward through kindness defeats the purpose of kindness. remember that you are a gift not only to yourself but to others.

When someone is screeching profanities in all caps you pretty much know that they're wrong and have some sort of irrational emotional attachment to an issue that prevents them from seeing that they're on the wrong side of it.
Just think about how stupid the rationale "you have you agree with me because I posted profanities in all caps" is. Only someone with the mentality of a small child could fail to understand that. Unfortunately 4chan and especially /sci/ has a lot of people like that.

Then you didn't even read it at all. What they actually did was link to the 5 independent analyses. 4 of those confirm the EHT ring, only one finds something totally different. There is nothing scientific about blindly accepting the outlier, especially when it hasn't been reproduced. But what you and OP are doing is pure confirmation bias, cherrypicking the result which suit your prejudices.

I think theyโ€™re stars but we canโ€™t detect their light because the escape velocity is faster than the speed of light due to very strong gravitation.

Anonymous No. 16508584

>>16508531
If the surface is below the radius where light cannot escape (Schwartzchild radius, event horizon), then the star cannot support itself under GR. When you do the calculations you find that inside this radius, not only can light not escape, but nothing can stay at a fixed radius, everything must move inwards.
There is also Buchdahl's theorem, which shows that even when the star shrinks below about 1.5 Schwartzchild radii, that no finite source of pressure would keep the star from collapsing.
Under current physics there is no way for it to just be a normal object below the event horizon. It continues collapsing.

What a moronic statement. No a point mass is not consistent with any data. For example if you have evidence of an extended mass then it cannot be a black hole.
Note the same dynamical evidence was good enough to find Neptune, and it has been used to find hundreds of exoplanets, many of which have been confirmed by other techniques. Are you gonna call Neptune "dark matter" too?
>Just declare a black hole because of lack of all other explanation.
That is how empirical science always works. Quantum mechanics is accepted because it fits the data, it is predictive, and there is is no alternative or better model.
>They didnt even tried to point JWST at it to take a closer look or anything.
They did point more than a dozen other telescopes, including Chandra, the VLA and VLT. There is more than one telescope. It continues to be followed up with more instruments.
