The April 10 announcement that scientists had created the first-ever image of a black hole — in actuality its shadow, bending and warping a bright ring of light and gas around its mysterious center — was a triumphant moment for members of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) project. The supermassive black hole lies at the center of the M87 galaxy, 55 million light years from Earth. Black holes exert a gravitational pull so great that even light cannot escape, though their gravitational bending effects distort light around them. On today's episode, Kwamina plays a character that argues that black holes don't matter.
