PBS Space Time - S2024E04: What if Singularities DO NOT Exist?

Feb 22, 2024Documentary, TalkSeason 2024, Episode 4

It's not too often that a giant of physics threatens to overturn an idea held to be self-evident by generations of physicists. Well, that may be the fate of the famous Penrose Singularity Theorem if we're to believe a recent paper by Roy Kerr. Long story short, the terrible singularity at the heart of the black hole may be no more.

Cast: Matthew O’Dowd
