What Happens at the Edge of a Black Hole? The Mystery of Event Horizons

19 min • 4 mars 2025

What lies at the very edge of a black hole? In this episode, we unravel the mystery of the event horizon, the invisible boundary beyond which nothing—not even light—can escape. We’ll explore what makes the event horizon so special, why it marks the ultimate point of no return, and how it plays a crucial role in general relativity. From real-world black hole images to the mind-bending physics of spaghettification, this is your guide to one of the most extreme phenomena in the universe.
