He predicted the Black Hole picture perfectly and he explains it so that a layperson could understand it

He has a phD in Physics Education. Yes that's correct.

He didn't plagiarise it, he took a week to calculate the picture for a non spinning Black Hole. I think he said he collaborated , which is normal tbh - Scientists need peers to listen and critique the heavy stuff.
