First image of black hole made with China's support

The first-ever image of a black hole, a joint effort of more than 200 astronomers worldwide, including 16 from the Chinese mainland, was released on Wednesday.
It was the first visible representation of what are considered the most extreme objects in the universe.
The image depicts the black hole at the heart of Messier 87, a massive, distant galaxy in the Virgo galaxy cluster. It resides 55 million light-years from Earth and has a mass 6.5 billion times that of the sun.
It puts to the test Albert Einstein's Theory of General Relativity put forward in 1915, which allows for a prediction of the size and shape of a black hole.

Congratulations to astronomers and astrophysicists from all over the world, who collaborated together to produce the first image of a black hole's event horizon.

What amazes me the most is that A. Einstein  is correct once again...

  the wizard was  born in Ulm, W, Germany.
In 1901, the year he gained his diploma, he acquired Swiss citizenship but was unable to find a teaching post...

Again he became a German citizen in 1914 and remained in Berlin until 1933 when he renounced his citizenship for political reasons and emigrated to America to take the position of Professor of Theoretical Physics at Princeton. He became a United States citizen in 1940.

This is all media promotion of Einstein's relativity. Most people just parrot off what they have read from the media about how great a genius Einstein was...How many of you have read physics and examined relativity theory on your own?

Don't get excited over a computer graphics image! A computer image is not scientific proof of anything; only proper scientific arguments matter in science.

Gravity is all electric; there is no need of Einstein's general relativity and spacetime curvature.
