Jeremy: One of our favorite questions that we get,

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,799
all the time, is what happens
when you fall into a black hole?

3
00:00:08,008 --> 00:00:11,636
It's a fascinating question
because it gets to all of the cool,

4
00:00:11,636 --> 00:00:14,472
weird, wild things about black holes.

5
00:00:14,472 --> 00:00:17,142
But it's technically a hard question to answer,

6
00:00:17,142 --> 00:00:18,893
especially with the visualizations.

Jeremy: All of the ways that we model black holes
with, with math and equations

10
00:00:34,993 --> 00:00:40,123
and computers, it all kind of falls apart
at the edge, at the event horizon,

11
00:00:40,123 --> 00:00:43,460
because everything either goes to zero or infinity,

12
00:00:43,752 --> 00:00:46,755
and it makes it really hard to solve the equations.

13
00:00:46,755 --> 00:00:49,674
We wanted to try to really

14
00:00:49,674 --> 00:00:54,679
to solve that problem, to get around
all of the mathematical challenges

15
00:00:54,679 --> 00:00:58,183
at the event horizon and take those cameras

16
00:00:58,183 --> 00:01:00,518
and take those visualizations inside.

17
00:01:02,353 --> 00:01:04,856
It was all this new physics that we were exploring,

18
00:01:04,856 --> 00:01:06,941
and that's what we do as scientists.

19
00:01:06,941 --> 00:01:10,695
We, we love to go beyond and learn new things.
