Why isn't /sci/ talking about this?

>event horizon telescope

When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you.

When you digitally render an accurate visual representation of an abyss based on sensor data, does it digitally render an accurate visual representation of you based on sensor data?

Which spectrum was this again? Radiowaves?
Hardly a picture in the traditional sense.
Although I guess it should get the general ideas across. Also hoping it‘s not just 20 pixels.

stuff orbiting the black hole most likely.

Does it look like anything one the visible spectrum besides just light like a quasar?

Technically, it consumes the visual representation of you. What happens to the sensor data after that is unknowable by mortal men.

You don't emit light, but we can take a photo of you.

Most of the things you capture images of don't emit light.
At least not in visible spectrums.

It would be an image of its silhouette, basically.

Sure you do. It's just not in the visible spectrum, we're positively glowing in IR.

Getting EMP'd by the singlo stuns you for a few seconds , which is usually long enough to get eaten.
It's a moot point if engineering isn't full of singloscrubs who can't SME
