Black Holes: The Edge of All We KnowMovie · 2020 · 98m · DocumentaryBlack holes represent the ultimate frontier of scientific understanding. To push that boundary, the Event Horizon Telescope unites observatories globally, creating a virtual Earth-sized instrument. Using this, the team captures the first-ever image of a black hole, an image shared with billions in April 2019. Simultaneously, Hawking and his colleagues tackle a fundamental paradox: do the laws of physics hold true within the extreme distortions of space and time around a black hole? Interwoven with these threads is a philosophical exploration, brought to life through expressive animation. "Edge" examines the highest levels of scientific inquiry, blending observation, theory, and philosophy to illuminate these most enigmatic objects.IMDb 6.6TMDB 6.6 - 3
