I still find it astounding we managed to use the entire planet as a telescope, science is just awesome.
-
".. I tried.... and they stopped me." That's a Supervillain origin story if ever I heard one.
-
š that deadpan āI tried, and they stopped me.ā Fantastic & informative video, as always!
-
So if I got it right... this isn't an upscaled AI image, but what's happening here instead is the original EHT image was totally theory agnostic in order to avoid bias, and now that we know that it is in fact a black hole ring shaped by general relativity PRIMO can apply known physics to the original data to resolve the image in accordance with known theory... I think? Thanks as always for the great videos!
-
Love the demonstration with a compact disk.
-
Woow thats amazing, seeing capabilities of ai even in cosmology is exciting.
-
Itās like they gave the calculation a pair of glasses š³
-
The only thing that boggles my mind more than these new images of M87 is the fact that Christian, who has the best Astronomy/Astrophysics videos, has 217K subscribers instead of 217M !
-
Your obvious excitement is soooo contagious. ā¤
-
I like how the new image shows a slight clockwise spiral pattern indicating the spin.
-
Thanks Christian, you've answered some other questions I had about the original image, all that I can do is smile, smile, smile!
-
Those last animations look terrifying. They give me the impression that someone pulled the drain plug on the universe.
-
it's like running a magical "enhance" filter on a blurry 3-pixel license plate photograph. except you pretend that you know the license plate number.
-
Even though you continue to make videos, please donāt get de-motivated on making your videos, the amount of information provided in such a good quality video is awesome, PLEASE KEEP IT UP MAN! š
-
Hope they will succeed with ngEHT. An actual stop motion of the black hole... wow. Can't wait!
-
1:34 Christian I had no idea you were a mastermind of some kind
-
Interesting explanation of what weāre actually seeing. I assumed we were looking at the accretion disk surrounding the event horizon.
-
Those images are incredibles ! But most important, YOU are incredible, Christian.
-
Alright who fatshamed the black hole
-
Itās thinner now because M87 decided it had better slim down a little if people are going to be taking photos of it and publishing them on the internet.
