Black Holes (Encore)

Gary Arndt | Glassbox Media
About this episode

Gravity is the weakest of the fundamental forces of nature, yet, if you have enough of it, it can create the most powerful thing in the known universe: a black hole. 

The very idea of a black hole didn’t really exist until the early 20th century, and now they are regularly found by the world’s most powerful telescopes. 

As much as we know about them, there is, even more we don’t know and probably will never know. 

Learn more about black holes, what they are, and how they work on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
