What if the cosmos and all its grandeur is not what it seems? Could our universe be an illusion? A sophisticated facade veiled by the complex laws of physics. The Universe Isn’t Real, Youtube 1.10.14, 2023
Most recently a trio of scientists who shared the Nobel Prize, John Clauser, Alain Aspect and Anton Zeilinger, were able to prove that the universe is not real locally. This of course does not mean that the universe as we know it does not actually exist. Physics distinguishes between the principles of reality and locality. ibid.

The goal of the Event Horizon Telescope is … [to] take the first picture of a black hole. ibid. scientist
And as they radiate they lose mass and eventually disappear. ibid.
We set up telescopes around the earth that can talk to each other, that can record data in tandem … an array of eight dishes around the world. ibid.
Black holes were the best explanation for what we observed. ibid.
We’ve shown that the soft hair can account for all of the information that’s stored in a black hole. ibid.
A picture of a black hole is revealed for the first time. ibid. The New York Times
