I am not suprise at all, I mean she sounds energetically when talking about blackholes, I bet she spends most of her time to study them. She deserves the Nobel prize for sure. Dr. Brian Greene must be very proud of her.

I've been a big fan of Andrea Ghez since her early days of developing the way of clarifying atmospheric interrupted images. Wow! She was so young. The distinguishing grey in her hair just demonstrates the devotion she's given to the progress of science and for her passion/work. Thank you & Congratulations Andrea. Well deserved.

Excellent master class, I finally have a coherent idea of ​​what a black hole is, I never understood what they said that B.H. are singularities, since if they "had" a certain volume they would not be infinitely dense. But everything is better explained now :)

A lot of hard-work, and a little bit of luck. A interesting and informative talk. Congratulations on the Nobel Prize to her, Prof. Andrea Ghez, and the other two fellows. Thanks to WSU (WSF) for publicizing the event.
