The imaging algorithms we develop fill in the missing gaps of the disco ball in order to reconstruct the underlying
black
hole image.
And so, my role in helping to take the first image of a
black
hole is to design algorithms that find the most reasonable image that also fits the telescope measurements.
So here I show a sample reconstruction done using simulated data, when we pretend to point our telescopes to the
black
hole in the center of our galaxy.
Although this is just a simulation, reconstruction such as this give us hope that we'll soon be able to reliably take the first image of a
black
hole and from it, determine the size of its ring.
We do this by ranking the images based upon how likely they are to be the
black
hole image, and then choosing the one that's most likely.
But when it comes to images from the
black
hole, we're posed with a real conundrum: we've never seen a
black
hole before.
In that case, what is a likely
black
hole image, and what should we assume about the structure of
black
holes?
We could try to use images from simulations we've done, like the image of the
black
hole from "Interstellar," but if we did this, it could cause some serious problems.
We can easily tell the difference between
black
hole simulation images and images we take every day here on Earth.
Let's first start with
black
hole image simulation puzzle pieces.
This looks like what we expect a
black
hole to look like.
But did we just get it because we just fed it little pieces of
black
hole simulation images?
So in our simulations, we pretend a
black
hole looks like astronomical non-black hole objects, as well as everyday images like the elephant in the center of our galaxy.
So an image of a
black
hole we've never seen before may eventually be created by piecing together pictures we see all the time of people, buildings, trees, cats and dogs.
Imaging ideas like this will make it possible for us to take our very first pictures of a
black
hole, and hopefully, verify those famous theories on which scientists rely on a daily basis.
It still amazes me that although I began this project with no background in astrophysics, what we have achieved through this unique collaboration could result in the very first images of a
black
hole.
I'd like to encourage all of you to go out and help push the boundaries of science, even if it may at first seem as mysterious to you as a
black
hole.
An article in the Yale Alumni Magazine told the story of Clyde Murphy, a
black
man who was a member of the Class of 1970.
Many of his
black
classmates from Yale also died young.
In fact, the magazine article indicated that 41 years after graduation from Yale, the
black
members of the Class of 1970 had a death rate that was three times higher than that of the average class member.
America has recently awakened to a steady drumbeat of unarmed
black
men being shot by the police.
What is even a bigger story is that every seven minutes, a
black
person dies prematurely in the United States.
That is over 200
black
people die every single day who would not die if the health of blacks and whites were equal.
So whites who are high school dropouts live 3.4 years longer than their
black
counterparts, and the gap is even larger among college graduates.
In the early 1990s, I was asked to review a new book on the health of
black
America.
For example, a study of
black
teens found that those who reported higher levels of discrimination as teenagers had higher levels of stress hormones, of blood pressure and of weight at age 20.
One study of the 171 largest cities in the United States concluded that there is not even one city where whites live under equal conditions to blacks, and that the worst urban contexts in which whites reside is considerably better than the average context of
black
communities.
So when a police officer overreacts when he sees an unarmed
black
male and perceives him to be violent and dangerous, we are not necessarily dealing with an inherently bad cop.
But in the last 40 years,
black
America has been less successful than I have.
In 1978,
black
households in the United States earned 59 cents for every dollar of income whites earned.
