What happens if you fall into a black hole? In this mind-expanding lecture, Carlo Rovelli, world-renowned physicist and bestselling author, takes us on a journey inside a black hole—exploring time dilation, the warping of space, and the potential for black holes to transform into white holes.
From Einstein’s equations to the cutting edge of quantum gravity, Rovelli explains how black holes are not just cosmic mysteries but key to unlocking the future of physics. Could they be a shortcut through time? Could they explain dark matter?
Watch as Rovelli unpacks the mind-bending physics of black holes—challenging our understanding of space, time, and the nature of reality itself.
