This is bass-ackward.

I want to see the actual OBSERVATION that show matter infalling to an event horizon. Otherwise all you’ve got is an energetic emission and a sh!t ton of speculation.

Where’s the beef?

Is there a gallery somewhere of all the actual observations, so we can see EXACTLY what was observed?

All I see if a little bright blob, hardly evidence of either an event horizon or infalling matter…
