What If We Could See Through a Black Hole?

This star is about to transform into a black hole. And we're about to travel inside it to see what's on the other side. The only problem is that we'll never be able to report our findings back to Earth. Because once you go inside a black hole, there's no coming back. So maybe there's a better way to find out what's on the other side. Could we use a special telescope? How would light behave inside a black hole? And why could the first image of a black hole provide all the answers?

This channel has come a long way from the last time I've visited it.
The storytelling, narration and animation all has improved significantly.
Kudos to the What IF team.

Man, Imagine traveling along the event horizon for 5 mins and upon your return on Earth, you realized hundreds of years have passed.

I think the only thing faster than light is:






Human imagination.

Having a video about a subject and then make a full discussion episode about the same subject is the perfect solution, well done.

I wish they had these back when I was in school... "What If" videos definitely would have made science class more fun.

This is so freaking interesting! 😻 a black hole is something that defies all logic but in the end we are all supernatural beings of the universe!
