Meet the Woman Behind the Black Hole Image

Twenty nine year old Katie Bouman is a genius. She was a postdoctoral student at MIT when she and her team began to work on an algorithm designed to analyze data that finally led to an image of a black hole. Scientists used Bouman's alogrithm to create three scripted code pipelines (whatever that means) to put together the image of the Black Hole that was uinveiled yesterday, April 10, 2019.

The Black Hole image proves Albert Einstein's prediction from a Century ago, proving his Theory of Relativity.

These scientists at MIT and Katie Bouman are absolute geniuses and congratulations to them for finding something, that took six years of incredibly hard work, and was inconceivable until now.
