Black Hole Shadows Put Quantum Gravity to the Test ⚡ экспресс
Original: "Testing loop quantum gravity through EHT observations of M87* and Sgr A* using rotating holonomy-corrected black holes"
Black hole shadows have helped test loop quantum gravity theory: quantum corrections are almost imperceptible, yet they still change the silhouette of the abyss.

Black holes might be 'fuzzy' due to quantum ripples in space. The Event Horizon Telescope tested this via the shadow—and it turns out the corrections are actually detectable. Perhaps Einstein wasn't entirely accurate at the very edge of the abyss.
🎯 Light in a black hole's shadow can loop around, creating an infinite series of reflections, like in a hall of mirrors.
🎬 In 'Interstellar,' Gargantua's shadow was modeled using classical equations; quantum corrections would make it slightly more oval.
