Episode notes
Gravity and Black Holes
- Gravity warps spacetime, creating a sinkhole effect.
- Black holes are extreme warps where nothing, not even light, escapes.
Surviving a Black Hole

- This means one could theoretically survive inside a sufficiently large one.

- The observable universe's mass suggests it could fit within a black hole.
- This raises the question: are we inside a giant black hole?
