Black Hole Update

Black Hole Update

Hello! I’ve seen a lot of people talking about Katie Bouman and her work on the black hole picture, and sharing around photos of her excitement when they got the photo, and I’m glad that she’s getting recognition. However, while Bouman herself has emphasized that the project was a team effort, a lot of people seem to be overlooking or erasing the very notable contributions of some of the other scientists who worked on it, and that doesn’t sit great with me, so I’m here to draw attention to a couple of them as well.

This is Andrew Chael. He worked with Bouman on the algorithm to construct the image of the black hole and did most of the raw coding for it.

Speaking of that algorithm this is Mareki Honma, who is the man I’m given to understand was its original inventor. Here he is announcing the photo at a press conference in Tokyo.

And here is a link to Harvard’s page on all the contributing members of the Black Hole Initiative, including Bouman and these two!

I didn’t come here to fucking cry, alright?

I’ve just realised. Stan Lee will have a cameo in every single one of the MCU films from the original generation, but he wont be in any of the new gen films. Avengers 4 marks the end of the road for some of the OG Avengers, and it’s also the end of the road for Stan.

They’ve already got Captain Marvel ready to go, and they’ve finished all the filming for Avengers 4, so he’ll be in both of those movies, but then everything that comes after – Spidey Far From Home and onwards – he wont be in. All the new gen films.

What I’m saying is, whichever original Avengers we permanently lose in A4, we’re losing Stan at the same time. He’s going out at the same time as them. A4 marks the end of an era, and that’s the film that his cameos will end with. That’s….. actually kind of fitting, really. He’s going out at the end of an era.

We need to stop acting like “romantic attraction” and “sexual attraction” actually exist. I know they’re really popular fanfic tropes, and can even be good when well written, but this has gotten out of hand. Some people think it’s real. Didn’t we learn anything from Goncharov? Please start tagging your posts with unreality.

the gimmick blogs are like tumblr’s rogue gallery. yes we’ve got some heroes, yes we’ve got some villains, but more importantly if you look over here you will see some freak who devotes all their time to counting the number of “t’s” in a post
