If you want to be more creative, then become less productive. Alfredo Baldocastiano asks if gravity in a black hole is so strong since light can't escape that it will cause particles coming in to reach the speed of light going in. The answer is basically, nope. No. By the way, a lot of material spirals into the black hole. Really? Yes. It doesn't just, because that's, you see these discs of matter.
Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice answer a grab bag of fan-submitted Cosmic Queries on black holes, dark matter, aliens, colonizing planets, Sir Isaac Newton, and a whole lot more!
