   That when stuff  falls into it, it changes its whole character.  So by contrast with the horizon of a  black hole, which is highly stable,   you perturb it and it vibrates a bit and then  settles back down. It's just so stable. You can't   blast it apart. By the contrast, what's going  on down beneath there is highly unstable. And   when stuff falls in, the gravity of the  stuff that falls in completely changes   what's going on down inside the black hole. So as best we understand it today, and this is   part of th…

   I want to see   a movie of the launching of these jets. That's what I think we will ultimately   get from the Event Horizon Telescope. I'm just  waiting for them to come out with movies now,   not of the black hole in M87. Because  that's such a humongously big black hole. Brian: Timescales. Kip: Movie's just too long a timescale.   But the black hole in the center of our galaxy. That is technically very, very difficult. But   that's where the really exciting payoff  from the Event Horizon Telescope is going   to come. …

   Then are you learning about part of the universe that you're supposedly unable to access by virtue of the entangled partner on the other side? And the most conventional answer from general relativity is yes, right? So if you measure that entangled member on the outside and it's spinning up, then you will have learned that the one on the inside is spinning down. Now, that doesn't actually violate any insights. What black holes really stipulate and they're defined by is a better way of saying it is that a light beam can't escape. Nothing can escape. When you do this, nothing's escaping. You're l…

   This raises the question of how far we can rely on extrapolating a theory to a new domain. For example, despite its success in describing objects moving with low relative velocities in a weak gravitational field, where it is nearly indistinguishable from general relativity, Newtonian gravity does not apply to other regimes. How far, then, can we rely on a theory to extend our reach? The obstacles to making such reliable inferences reflect the specific details of particular domains of inquiry. Below we will focus on the obstacles to answering theoretical questions in cosmology due to the struct…

   It would emerge perhaps only in certain special setting, certain special environments, which means that the very language with which we describe reality, which is currently very space-time centric, right? We talk about things in space, we talk about the expansion of space, we talk about the passage of time. Those notions might be highlevel notions and underneath them might be more fundamental ideas, fundamental ingredients and that would be where the deepest description of reality would be focused. So that's my guess. Um, Professor Green, do you think our inability to decipher the fundamental …

   It's seething with possibility. Instead of having empty space here, a particle and its antiparticle can appear, dance around a little bit, and then annihilate back into empty space. Now, imagine that happening near a black hole horizon, which we're told is a one-way door. What if one of those particles falls in? And now the partner doesn't have anything to annihilate with. So it will actually fly off, and a distant observer will see that particle as radiation coming from the black hole. NARRATOR: Without consuming more matter, if it emits radiation, it will gradually shrink in size. The black …

   Kip: And Oppenheimer says,   and there's a big confrontation between  the two of them, at what's called a Solvay   Congress in '56 or '57, in which Oppenheimer  says, "Well, it's very simple. It just cuts us   off from ... The collapsing star cuts itself  off from the rest of the universe and what   happens down inside there has no influence  on the external universe, so why worry?"  And so they have this radically different  viewpoint. And in fact, sorting out what   happens with the singularity turns out to …

   So, this if you're watching, if you're listening, you're missing. You really should be watching as well. So, we've got this ball and it dense and it indents the plane. And we have a ruler and we can have a watch too that measures it. I thought that this was the paradigm that displays how we actually traveling through spaceime reinvisioning gravity not as a force but as a curvature on this higher dimensional manifold. You can put this back. Thank you for the demonstration. Thank you. I'm an experimental physicist so you know I love to do demonstrations. What what is wrong with that? I mean I th…
