> "What? You obviously didn't read what I wrote. Are you ok?" You're ranting about Saturn and Jupiter for some reason. Why don't you calm down and look at page eight of the paper that Veritasium video was based on: https://ve42.co/luminet https://ve42.co/luminet "Image of a spherical black hole with thin accretion disk Astronomy and Astrophysics, vol. 75, no. 1-2, May 1979, p. 228-235" Look at that last image, and squint at it until it gets fuzzy. Lo and behold, a fuzzy coffee mug stain! Perhaps it was a mistake for him to make the focus of the video on the physics of black holes, rather than the limitations of state of the art radio interferometry... but I don't think so.

It's really strange that you are unable to understand such a simple complaint I made, even after going to extra effort to spell it out. You even have even become aggressive insulting. I understand that some people become that way when they get confused, but how is it possible you are confused here? I think you are literally not even reading my comments. Either that, or you are going through some personal issues right now. I think it might help you if you tried to first understand that I am not complaining about the image being fuzzy. I have no idea why you keep going back to that. I spelled out an analogy to explain this to you and you got angry and insulting. Are you really sure you are ok? You clearly have something going on.

  Mate, you insulted me first, and have just repeated that insult again. I've tried to be charitable with you.

    How did you come to the conclusion that I "insulted you first?"

  You truly believe that all of the downvotes on all of your comments are the work of one account?

Really awesome link, thanks for that! It's always interesting to see theory that is decades out in front of experimental confirmation, and then proves to be dead right.

  Yeah, I did a double-take when I saw that was published in 1979. I think that's really cool.
