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.

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