According to Heino Falcke, a Radio Astronomy Professors, “With them, you can take near perfect images to see the real details of black holes. If small deviations from Einstein's theory occur ...
Black holes are objects with an intense gravitational pull so strong that not even beams of light, the fastest things in the universe, can escape. This makes them impossible to see directly, and ...
