Question :
If this image is 50 million light-years away.
Does this mean that this image is very old and its age is 50 million light years, and this image its not the real image of the black hole in the our present now?
"According to the theory of relativity

1• We know it
2• We found it
3• Explore closer
4• Send first satellite into the Black hole
5• Maybe even people if it’s safe.

If black holes can exist, then warp drive can one day exist.
