Darkness Visible: Shedding New Light on Black Holes

- čas přidán 1. 06. 2018
- Black holes may hold the key to understanding the most fundamental truths of the universe, but how do you see something that’s, well, black? Astronomers think they have the answer. Thanks to a global array of radio telescopes that turn the Earth into a giant receiver, we may soon have the first picture of the event horizon of Sagittarius A*, the black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. And, with the power of math, scientists are going even further, using equations to “look” inside black holes, peering at the central singularity where general relativity and quantum mechanics collide. Join Brian Greene and other leading physicists and astronomers on a journey to make darkness visible.

I, a woman, age 87, with no science training or background, really appreciate this, and what you are doing, Professor Green.
Brain Greene is my favorite moderator and really breaks down things into the most simple terms where anyone can follow
Andrea won the Nobel prize in 2020 for the discovery of the super massive black hole she descibes here. What a privilege to see this video where she describes what is it like for her and her team as they make the ground breaking discovery! No wonder she is so excited...
I fell asleep and this played on autoplay and it bled into my dream and I swear I was so smart in my dreamland
And now Andrea Ghez has won the Nobelprize!
I am startled that some people have clicked 'thumbs down' for this. How? This was a fabulous canter through current bleeding edge science on the most enigmatic and fascinating celestial objects. What's not to like?
I like how Brian acts like a layman when he knows all this shit. He is just generously giving them an audience they deserve
I like it when Brian is talking to his old friends. It's scientifically
I loved how humble all the guests here were. All of them acknowledged that it wasn't just them alone making these breakthroughs but their "team".
These discussions are so enjoyable for people (like me) who are into Astrophysics and Cosmology. There’s nothing better than to relax with a cup of coffee listening to Dr. Greene and other physicists debate and reflect on our current understanding of the Universe.
And Andrea Ghez won 2020 Noble prize in physics. What a wonderful woman she is.
I literally listened to these people talk science on a stage, for almost 2 hours AND ENJOYED IT!!!
This is the best use of the internet imo. Just putting out truly educational content, that can also reach a lot of people that might not have been able to get the type of education they would want.
There's nothing I like better than listening to a real passionate and enthusiastic scientist. This lady is great!
I was listening to this podcast while I sleep and thought to myself, what if the speed of light is not a constant, it does make a lot of sense, what do we observe is a really small fragment and for our perception, the speed of light seems to be a constant, but on a bigger scale it should be loosing speed
She’s sooo happy. Just talking about her work. I’m smiling just watching her talk.
I love listening to people who actually know what they are talking about.
Thank you so
I watch these. Don’t understand them but keep coming back and try again 😂😂👍
oh shes just so lovely how enthusiastic and excited she gets about her work :) so wholesome i love her!
