    An independent hybrid imaging of Sgr A* from the data in EHT 2017 observations

      "In our view, the ring-like image found by the EHTC is not the intrinsic structure of Sgr A* but arises from the sparse u-v coverage of the EHT array in 2017; that is, from the corresponding [...] structure in the PSF."

      I.e. authors assert the image processing path inserted rather than revealed the famous correlation with Interstellar black hole imagery.

    Way way beyond my comprehension but I will marvel at how peer-review works in science and wonder how much further the world would have progressed if everything worked like that.

      my favourite abstract was one where the title asked "did cern measure a neutrino travelling faster than the speed of light?" and the abstract was "no".

      for some reason I can't seem to find the paper anymore, it was on arxiv.
