Meet Alice and Bob, famous explorers of the abstract landscape of theoretical physics. Heroes of the gerdankenexperiment—the thought experiment—whose life mission is to find contradictions in the deepest layers of our theories. Today our intrepid pair are jumping into a black hole. Again. Why? Well, to determine the fundamental structure of spacetime and its connection to quantum entanglement of course.

It's comforting to know that ancient PBS Space Time videos will still be around even when Sag A* meets its end.
-
I love the idea that a future mind-uploading device requires you to breakdance on top of it while it uploads you.
-
10:36 "(Bob) is looking for signs of the experimental qubit. But if we're being honest, he's also looking for signs of Alice." awwww, that's so cute
-
"Digital Ghosts in a Dead Universe" would make a great metal album name
-
"Bob waited 10^87 years, so a week isn't so bad. " I'm now dead in this timeline. 🤣
-
Alice and Bob are 2 unsung heroes of our time. They have been involved in so many experiments I can't ever count. The have been thrown into black holes, left drifting on space for years, put into the heart of a supernova, they have even been shot through the universe at the speed of light and left to experience all the negative affects from it. And they never ever complain.
-
Pancakification will be a whole new section in our text books before long and you heard it here first, from one Matt O'Dowd.
-
In the three body problem series (book 2) some guy fell into a black hole accidentally and they refused to pay out his life insurance because he wasn‘t dead yet from their point of reference 😂
-
Oh man, you got Dereked!
-
Veritasium Entered the chat. PBS Spacetime: “I was camping your respawn a few days ago”.
-
Veritasium feels like a layman successfully reaching into the depths of science and bringing it back to us. PBS spacetime feels like a lifelong deep scientist successfully reaching out to the layman to explain things.
-
People saying that Veritasium beat Space Time to the punch when literally everything in Derek's video had been covered by Space Time years ago.
-
Thanks for the video. I’m currently falling past the event horizon of a black hole and I can confirm that it really do be like this.
-
Degankenexperiment 😂 For the non-germans: he pronounced the first two syllables of Gedankenexperiment (imaginary experiment, thought experiment) backwards - honestly not that noticeable or relevant, but had me smirk, so had to say it
-
This is without doubt the most engrossing and informative description of both the information paradox and equivalence for the layperson I've ever watched. Thank you Dr O'Dowd, and a special thanks to Alice and Bob for their committment to science.
-
"What Happens If You Jump Into A Black Hole?" ....To shreds you say?
-
I know! You either die or end up behind some bookshelves.
-
Alice saw the tesseract and taught bob how to decipher all the qbits
-
I don’t really know what you’re talking about in most of this episode, but I do like the way you say it
-
Me: I'm smart! Watches video Me: I'm dumb!
