This is the best quick and simple explanation I've found of what scientists have produced, it comes from Nature. I'm impressed, though since it's a product of, among other things, algorithms created to come up with an image of something believed to be there due to some theories of cosmology (some of them, as well influenced by algorithms based on other theories, I'd guess) can this image be considered to be anything but a product of human imagination? It makes you wonder how secure the confirmations of theories that the video anticipates being arrived at using this image will be. It's not exactly a photograph taken from life.
Still, it makes me wonder how Lawrence Krauss is taking it, considering that before he decided to take the old golden parachute out of science into atheist invective, he was pushing skepticism of the existence of black holes. I'm sure algorithms might have figured in his work supporting that, unevidenced theories certainly did, the lack of evidence of black holes was something he used to make his arguments.
Lord knows what the next big thing in cosmology will be.
