We Thought Black Holes Created Event Horizons. It Might Be the Opposite

Season 11 Episode 30

Don’t panic, but it's possible that an event horizon is forming right behind you right now. Don’t bother looking—you won’t see it. You won’t know that it’s growing to envelop you until it’s way too late. And it definitely won’t look like the classic picture of a black hole that you’re probably familiar with.
