Story summary

Akhil Uniyal leads research proposing that imaging black holes could reveal subtle deviations from Einstein's general relativity, testing alternate theories.
The study notes precise measurements of black hole shadows imaged by the Event Horizon Telescope could show conformity to general relativity or point to other models.
Researchers are exploring black holes with mass and electric charge under Scalar-Tensor-Vector Gravity, a modified theory that could alter key properties.
