With the publication of the first image of a black hole, scientific history was made. Astrophysicist and Balzan Prize winner Heino Falcke was one of the leading minds behind the project. Barbara Bleisch takes a journey to the end of space and time with the busy researcher. We ask: What happens behind a black hole? Do they make time travel possible? What is research like when all the rules of physics fail at the crucial point? 🔔 Subscribe now to SRF Kultur Sternstunden on YouTube 👉 https://www.youtube.com/srfkulturster... Black holes are more fascinating than almost anything else in space. Their gravity is so immense that they swallow up everything that comes near them like a galactic vacuum cleaner. What disappears into such a hole never comes out again, because space and time collapse within it. Astrophysicist Heino Falcke has been studying these difficult-to-understand phenomena since his studies. Today he is a professor at Radboud University in Nijmegen and heads the research consortium that sensationally succeeded in presenting the first image of a black hole in April 2019. Barbara Bleisch goes with him to the edges of a completely crazy world.
