  • Summary

  • In honor of NASA's Black Hole Week (May 6-10, 2024), we're re-running our episode from Season 2 of Closer To Truth.

    They warp space and time, squeeze matter to a vanishing point, and trap light so that it cannot escape. How can black holes perform such stupendous tricks, and what can we learn from them?

    Featuring interviews with Robert Laughlin, Peter Atkins, Francisco Ayala, and Philip Clayton.
