Summary |
What can black holes teach us about the boundaries of knowledge? These holes in spacetime are the darkest objects and the brightest-the simplest and the most complex. With unprecedented access, Black Holes : The Edge of All We Know follows two powerhouse collaborations. Stephen Hawking anchors one, striving to show that black holes do not annihilate the past. Another group, working in the world's highest altitude observatories, creates an earth-sized telescope to capture the first-ever image of a black hole. Interwoven with other dimensions of exploring black holes, these stories bring us to the pinnacle of humanity's quest to understand the universe |
