Now, we didn't actually image a black hole because no light can escape a black hole, right?

But show the disk and show everything going into it.

And that was a

pretty big moment because it again it goes through what is probably a hundred years of theory going down into one image to say holy that theory was true that theory that started out with basic principles of math and physics and a human sitting there thinking outside the box

was able to prove this to be right.

It's not very often that happens in human history, but it's kind of revolutionary when it does.

And there's some lesser famous ones that I actually think are more impressive.

Like what?

I mean, look, talk to anybody about Maxwell's equations, these four fundamental equations of electromagnetism that

I mean, his paper to do this, his proof for it is like 300 pages long.

This guy was clearly batshit insane.

Came up with some of the most important theories for how the modern world operates with electronics.

And I think because he wasn't good at the Hollywood style, because he wasn't good at articulating what he was doing, because his proof is so fucking long that only some loser is going to sit there and read it...

It makes it so that you don't get the press from it, right?

And like, you've probably never heard of Maxwell's equation.

In fact, when I say Maxwell's, you probably think coffee, right?

And that's Maxwell House or whatever, right?

It doesn't resonate with anybody at the same level because there has always been a side of showmanship to science.

This is why Einstein is so famous.

You know who Einstein is.
