This is an entertaining journey through the intriguing nature of space and time, with astrophysicist Danail Obreschkow.

Under extreme gravity, space and time defy our intuition. They start to bend and morph into one another, producing some of the most enigmatic phenomena in the Universe. Among them are black holes that pierce through space, bend everything in their vicinity and slow down time beyond recognition. In this video, Danail provides a captivating view into the modern relativistic theory of spacetime, concluding with an unstoppable journey into a black hole!
