And new research is showing that Einstein may not be calling the complete story as far as black holes, and I'm saying may not because until they actually refine these images of the black holes, all the black hole shadows, they really don't know. I suspect that they're holed up with no problem at all. The data was published in Nature Astronomy and shows how black hole observations could help to confirm or challenge Einstein's model of gravity. And there's never been enough data to verify or reject the competing ideas, but that could change very soon through analysis of black hole shadow images. And these images, they're not black holes themselves, but the hot accretion disks of matter surrounding them. There was a picture taken a few years back of a black hole that the media headlines of it were rather inaccurate, a little deceptive, that they set up a black hole, a picture of the very first black hole. Really welcome to stop in.
