When you say "an image" what that really means is that at some point a HUMAN has taken radio wave data and used his/her own interpretation of that to translate it into a visual picture.

It is therefore just a piece of art is it not? Technically the structure of the image dutifully conveys the reality of the radio sources but in terms of artistry, colours etc those are surely made up by the artist.

Well actually Donkeyman it's a hole, and holes tend to be very illusive, it's only because of the effect it has on the things around it that we think there's something there. It's just like a packet of 'Polo's' you only know the hole is there because it's surrounded by mint, take away the mint and you would never know if the packet was still full of the holes.....

Take for example the story about 'The King's New clothes' that's the same as the story about 'man made global warming' we only know it's happening because we get 'Weather' now....

Is that why my pockets are allways empty!
Because they are full of holes? OGF!
I allways thought black holes were super dense gravity fields,
Which pull in any unwary objects that approach too closely,
Thus becoming ever more dense, ad infinitum!
I got a grip of your anologies much better though, thank you!

Best Regards Donkeyman!

PS l do find this subject very interesting though!
