Documentary Description
Black holes are one of the most destructive forces in the universe,
capable of tearing a planet apart and swallowing an entire star. Yet
scientists now believe they could hold the key to answering the
ultimate question - what was there before the Big Bang?
The trouble is that researching them is next to impossible. Black
holes are by definition invisible and there's no scientific theory able
to explain them. Despite these obvious obstacles, Horizon meets the
astronomers attempting to image a black hole for the very first time
and the theoretical physicists getting ever closer to unlocking their
mysteries. It's a story that takes us into the heart of a black hole
and to the very edge of what we think we know about the universe.
