Originally posted by NickFitz View Post- The Decades-long Struggle to Draw a Realistic Black Hole - ”We’re probably going to get our very first actual picture of a black hole next week. Researchers with the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) have scheduled a press conference for the morning of April 10, and they’re expected to unveil an image of a supermassive black hole… We have a pretty good idea of what a black hole might look like. The reality, however, is that we don’t actually have any confirmation. As EHT member Katie Bouman puts it in a TEDx talk, there could be an elephant at the center of our galaxy for all we know.” Even the one in Interstellar was deliberately changed from the predictions of physics to make it look “better”.

•Animal Photo Art References Search - Sounds bland, but AFAIK this is the only search engine that allows you to find pictures of animals by skull orientation
Direction: (skull type dose not affect search results)
Maybe his next project could be the same for humans, including their posture, i.e. sitting standing, and also what they are wearing. Make it easy to find those pictures of insanely good looking people with neon white teeth for business websites.

At the IBM research lab in Böblingen they have a very interesting museum, sadly not open to the general public, but I can get in as I built one of the system there but they have a working 360 and a working replica Hollerith (I'll have to dig out the videós and photos I have sometime)
