Brian Cox & Jeff Forshaw | Black Holes (FULL EVENT)

At the heart of the Milky Way there is a distortion in the fabric of the Universe. Caused by something 4 million times bigger than the Sun, it is where space and time are so warped that everything within 12 million kilometres is trapped. This region of no return, where even light is swallowed, is bounded by an event horizon, and inside lies the end of time. It is a supermassive black hole.
Black holes are the most extraordinary and intellectually challenging naturally occurring objects found anywhere in the universe. They are the ghost of a collapsed star. Originally thought to be so intellectually troubling that they simply did not exist, it is only in the past few years that we have reached a point where we can begin to explain just what is going on in a black hole: from worm holes to information theory.
In conversation for this incredible event, Brian and Jeff will take a one-way journey into the very centre of a black hole, how they are formed, why they are essential components of every galaxy, including our own, and what secrets they still hold, waiting to be discovered. This virtual event is sure to be one that will open your eyes to the true wonder of the Universe.
Please note that interactive elements of the stream will not work, as this event was originally broadcast live on 4 Oct 2022.

As the talk went on, Jeff became more relaxed. By the end he was really flowing and showing his passion. Brian (with so much more experience on tv) excellent as always.
-
These two make the best unintentional ASMR for geeks I've ever heard.
-
I could listen to Brian talk about a lump of cheese for 7 hrs . Never has a man smiled so much while talking. He always looks happy 😊
-
Brian is a good man
-
(The actor) Brian Cox’s autobiography on the bookshelf is a great touch!
-
There is a big hole in our understanding of Quantum Gravity and General Relativity in how they are compatible. There is one place in the Universe where both are unified - and on display. Black holes. The answer to physics deepest questions lie there. Fascinating discussion between two weapons-grade intellects. Thank you!
-
Jeff Forshaw is an amazing teacher. So willing to share, kind and also funny. His old students say his lectures are amazing and that the man is incredibly clever. Manchester Uni is really lucky to have this wonderful team !
-
Knowledge is what makes our lives worthwhile. That is to me enough to justify why we study physics regardless of whether the subject is useful or not. Why some paintings worth billions of dollars? Why someone is important to you? Why putting a ball into the goal can earn someone billions of dollars in salary? It is all our perceptions of reality. It is all relative.

Damn, remember second year lectures with Jeff and by god his intellect was intimidating. These two make a great pairing
-
I'm reading this book, it is Phenomenal!
-
Yet another book I need to buy. The list is getting huge.
-
I think my interest has very much been rekindled! Thank you gentlemen.
-
Just bought this book, absolutely mind bending!
-
Loved the book and absolutely fascinated by the non intuitive concepts that are beginning to emerge from the study of blackholes. Great explanations throughout
-
I’m constantly astounded on what human beings have achieved, certainly in terms of figuring a vast amount of knowledge about space & time.
-
I'm so excited for the next couple of decades of discoveries, what a great time to be alive, yet again Cox at his finest putting very complex science into terms which the average Joe like myself can understand. Great talk loved every minute of it.
-
Would be crazy if we actually are in a black hole, like thats what our universe was born from. Cause like he said, that "middle" just stretches indefinitely, likewise our universe is expanding indefinitely, im sure theres a million reasons why this isnt the case, but it crossed my mind the minute they described the black hole center as stretching forever. Very cool similarity, if nothing else 🙏
-
Struggling a little with the book, rereading chapters 1, 2 and 3, but this discussion has helped a lot. Brilliant idea to help understanding. 🙂
-
So we have fallen into a blackhole, and times has ceased to pass, but because we still exist infinitely at the event horizon, we feel the sensation of the fractal experience of eternity.

This is rad so long and not edited so we get uncensored conversation
