As for flat eathers, perhaps Matt Kennedy is one? Quote Selected
Re: Image of a Black Hole Reply #29 – April 15, 2019, 01:21:48 pm If you are/were a keen amateur astronomer you would know then that the EHT is a single pixel interferometer, and the process is called time correlation. It's been around since the 1940s! Quote Selected
