Black Holes: The Edge of All We Know
- Documentary
Black holes stand at the limit of what we can know. To explore that edge of knowledge, the Event Horizon Telescope links observatories across the world to simulate an earth-sized instrument. With this tool the team pursues the first-ever picture of a black hole, resulting in an image seen by billions of people in April 2019. Meanwhile, Hawking and his team attack the black hole paradox at the heart of theoretical physics—Do predictive laws still function, even in these massive distortions of space and time? Weaving them together is a third strand, philosophical and exploratory using expressive animation. “Edge” is about practicing science at the highest level, a film where observation, theory, and philosophy combine to grasp these most mysterious objects.
Black Holes: The Edge of All We Know is a documentary that follows the groundbreaking effort to capture the first-ever image of a black hole using the Event Horizon Telescope. Released in March 2020, the film weaves together the real science behind this historic achievement with philosophical exploration and expressive animation, examining both what we can observe and the theoretical paradoxes that challenge our understanding of physics.
