Computer simulations of BH using GR produce images that are identical to what you see the real image. The prediction that GR gives to the image is a fine test. LIGO tested other predictions of Einstein’s equations, gravitational waves. Do you want me to expand this explanation with images and intuition or do you feel like you need something more mathematical? | |
