Black Holes: Seeing the Unseeable

The world science festival with Brian Greene is such an amazing gift

The genius of Mr. Green is that he has a wonderful knack for explaining science in a way that the rest of us can understand or at least want to try to understand. He ask simple relevant questions.

Honestly we need more science and scientists to be more on media rather than celebrities! We can just learn so much from watching these videos

All science aside, this is a really serious interview. Decent, patient, knowledgeable, humble, understanding; unlike interviews we all see on TV with news anchors, where they cut off, brush aside and talk over interviewees. No loud voices, no big languages, no show offs. Obviously, education, especially high education, makes a different class of people.

I was in grade 2, when I distinctly remembered reading a science book about the wonders of the universe, one being a black hole. At that time it was still very theoretical. Im 40 now, and through the years the theoretical turned more into a reality. But when they released these pictures for the first time, I was absolutely in shock. Something I knew for my earlier life as almost science fiction actually exists in full picture thanks to the brilliant work of this team. I think this may be the science achievement of the decade.

We are extremely thankful to you Prof. Greene and all the encredible minds you host in World Science Festival. Please keep advancing our understanding of matters and please never stop. Thank you.

​It is time for Shep Doeleman to, like Andrea Ghez, win a Nobel prize. Also, they are both, like Brian, fun to listen

I find it just incredible what the scientists and engineers can achieve. We progress to the stars.

The production values are so excellent ------- So many sites should use this as their standard.

I love our beautiful universe... Incredibly powerful beauty...

These kind of cosmological discussions are absolutely delightful to watch! Thank you Dr. Greene, this channel is one of my best and most favorite subscriptions on YT, and this (I am sure) is the case for many others.

Happy world science festival!

Beautiful conversation. The Netflix documentary on Shep Doeleman is worth a watch as well!

Can't emphasize enough, how good this conversation is. Hope instead of building missiles and nuclear bombs, we channel all our money and energy to this scientific discoveries, inventions and their tools.

I can't believe I sat through an hour interview about a blurry blackhole picture, and enjoyed every moment of it.

I know this video is about the incredible achievement of seeing the unseeable but I have to do a shout out for Brian Green to be the best interviewer. Respectful, knowledgeable, patient, and inquisitive, he has a set a real high bar in terms of leading such discussions.

One hour. No nonsense. Even though we have more or less known a thing or two about the images by now, this is still exciting to watch.

This is one of, if not the best, lecture WSF have done to date. And that is saying something! Awesome!

Mr. Green and NDT are among the best educators of EUA.

What an insightful discussion ! impressed by the humility of the guest and sharpness of Brian's questions 👍
