It is hard to express how utterly remarkable and astoundingly delightful it is that mathematical scribblings can predict something as bizarre as black holes and then, looking to the skies with sufficient diligence, we find them.

First-ever direct image of a black hole. Congratulations to the Event Horizon Telescope team. Here is a brief explanation:

Event Horizon Telescope reveals first ever direct image of a black hole. Einstein's equations seem to triumph once again.

Tomorrow morning: Event Horizon Telescope reveals the first direct image of the edge of a black hole. Most exciting possibility: The image does not fully agree with the prediction from Einstein's general relativity, perhaps forcing us to modify Einstein's equations.

Excited for tomorrow's announcement from Event Horizon Telescope, likely providing first direct image of a black hole. Here's my recent conversation with project leader Shep Doeleman and astronomer Andrea Ghez, together with a brief primer on black holes.

A black hole with the mass of the sun exerts the SAME gravitational pull as the sun itself. The difference is that the black hole is much smaller in size and so you can get much closer to it. That's why you can experience a much greater gravitational pull.

If by "thing" you mean a viable theoretical framework for unifying the laws of nature, then yes, string theory is very much still a thing.

A solar mass black hole will likely not evaporate through Hawking radiation for another 10^68 years.

Actually, have been thinking about adding a fourth episode to The Elegant Universe Nova series, brining the discussion of string theory right up to date.

Hawking radiation is a mathematical consequence of general relativity and quantum mechanics. Our confidence in these two pillars of physics give us confidence in Hawking radiation, even without detecting it.

Hawking radiation has never been detected because the temperature of a typical black hole is miniscule. Using the formula, the Hawking temperature of a solar mass black hole is about 0.00000006 Kelvin.

Exciting News: On April 10 we may see the first ever close-up image of a black hole, courtesy the Event Horizon Telescope.
