A team of astronomers has examined the characteristics of the Milky Way's black hole, Sagittarius A*, using an AI model, though notable skepticism arises from Nobel laureate Reinhard Genzel regarding the data quality and efficacy of AI as a tool. While AI offers new perspectives, it can't replace traditional methods. The mystery of how supermassive black holes like Sagittarius A* form persists, given the lack of substantial observational evidence supporting their early formation. A significant advancement came in 2022 when the Event Horizon Telescope captured the first image of Sagittarius A*, enhancing our understanding yet leaving many questions unanswered.
I'm very sympathetic and interested in what they're doing. But artificial intelligence is not a miracle cure.
How and when do these cosmic behemoths form, and how do they gain such incredible mass? Astronomers agree that they would have to have been formed in the early universe.
No star is heavy enough to directly collapse into an object of a supermassive black hole's size.
A breakthrough came in 2022, when astronomers revealed the first image of Sagittarius A* taken with the Event Horizon Telescope.
