Black HolesBLACK HOLES: THE OTHER SIDE OF INFINITY
There’s a place from which nothing escapes, not even light, where time and space literally come to end. It’s at this point that black holes exert their sway over the cosmos and our imaginations. Zip through other-worldly wormholes, experience the creation of the Milky Way Galaxy, and witness the violent death of a star and subsequent birth of a black hole in Black Holes: The Other Side of Infinity. Mathematical equations, cutting-edge science, and Einstein’s theories fill in gaps along the way, providing the most complete picture yet on this mysterious phenomenon. Can you feel the pull? Narrated by Liam Neeson, Black Holes: The Other Side of Infinity is funded by the National Science Foundation and NASA, and is produced by the Denver Museum of Nature & Science in association with the PBS science series, NOVA.
