The first simulated image of a black hole, represents a pivotal moment in the history of astrophysics, a moment immortalized by French astrophysicist Jean-Pierre Luminet in 1978.
His groundbreaking work utilized the computational capacities of an IBM 7040, with data processed via 1960 punch cards, and culminated in a hand-plotted visualization.

Tak nejak jsem to cekal ze to prijde. Holt literarni komparativci asi proste muzou komparovat cokoliv s cimkoliv:
"Black Holes: Race and the Cosmos
Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2020-2021.

Conventional wisdom would have it that the "black" in black holes has nothing to do with race. Surely there can be no connection between the cosmos and the idea of racial blackness. Can there? Contemporary Black Studies theorists, artists, fiction writers implicitly and explicitly posit just such a connection. Theorists use astronomy concepts like "black holes" and "event horizons" to interpret the history of race in creative ways, while artists and musicians conjure blackness through cosmological themes and images. Co-taught by professors in Comparative Literature and Astronomy, this course will introduce students to the fundamentals of astronomy concepts through readings in Black Studies. ..."

MAKROUSEK, SALVATOR: No tak prave proto je to napsano tak, jak je to napsano. V te formulaci to samozrejme cele vezi, jinak by se o tom nikdo nehadal :-) Protoze kdyby se to dite konkretizovalo rovnou, tj. reklo by se, ze napr. starsi je divka, tak samozrejme odpoved bude 50 % (zanedbame-li mirnou odchylku od 50:50 u pohlavi). Kdezto tak, jak je to formulovane, a tim ze nic dalsiho o Novakovych nevime (napr. ze by s chlapeckymi plody chodili na interupci), to dava tu 1/3....
Pochopitelne ty nejvetsi teoretizujici hadky byly o tom, zda (a co) dalsiho se implicitne (ne)predpoklada. Treba jestli mluvci pro fakt, ze sdeluje tu informaci ("jedno z nich je divka") bylo to prislusne dite (ze dvou sourozencu) vybrano nahodne nebo ne apod.

Je zajimave, ze se najdou jedinci, kteri na tu 1/3 nikdy nepristoupi, at to formulujes sebelip ;) V tomto je to ponekud analogicke te slavne uloze "o koze" (Monty Hall problem)

SHMADE: tyhle důvody nějakých nelogičností v mne hrozně baví. Nejlepší je asi historie velikosti pomocných raket prvního stupně raketoplánu.
