What we observe as gravity, so a ball falling toward the ground or the moon orbiting around the Earth,
It's not that the Earth is tugging on those things.
It's that the mass of Earth is warping the fabric of the universe.
It's essentially creating a kind of crater in space.
This is where we get to black holes, because if you get enough mass in a small enough area, space starts to warp dramatically.
The sinkhole gets so steep that nothing can escape it, even light.
And this incredibly strong gravity doesn't just affect light.
It affects everything.
Like, if you were falling into a small black hole and you made it past the edge, what's called the event horizon, space would be warped so dramatically that your feet would be pulled in faster than your head.
That's basically what I knew before speaking to James.
It's the way you'll often see black holes presented in movies like Interstellar or High Life or Star Trek.
Black holes suck in light.
They stretch things out.
They're not exactly fun places to be.
But then James went galaxy brain.
So you're saying in a large enough black hole, it could be potentially possible for people to just hang out and be okay?
Are you aware how that sounds?
But black holes suck everything into the center, right?
Like if we were in a huge black hole, there would be a center somewhere, right?
That's insane.
