which editors should be fired? You mean the scientific journal editors?

As to the image, "The image shows two bright points, each representing a jet of high-energy particles emitted by one of the black holes. The black holes themselves remain invisible, but the image provides clear visual evidence of their position, motion, and dual existence. "

My best guess is that it took a few years to interpret the data. Frankly, I don't get the math. The numbers are so big! But I feel pretty small when considering this... and, of course, soon we'll hear of even more of these systems.

Do you think that gravitational lens effects will be studied when "the stars are aligned" for other studies?
