Black holes are gravitational behemoths that dramatically twist space and time. Recently, they’ve also led researchers to the remarkable proposition that everything we see may be akin to a holographic projection of comings and goings taking place on a thin distant surface that surrounds us. Join renowned researchers on an odyssey through one of nature’s most spectacular creations, and how they’re leading scientists to rewrite the rules of reality.
