Synopsis
The quest to understand the most mysterious object in the universe.
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.

Head empty I have no idea what is going on but it is very cool please carry on mr science man

Some scientists with little hope,
Do something that's pretty dope.
On Earth's behalf,
They photograph,
Making the planet one big telescope.

This documentary not only shows the scientists working to capture the first image of a black hole, but does a great job making sure you understand how far away the black hole is. Since I don't know shit about astronomy, I just kinda think the planets and stars and black holes are all like a couple miles away from each other. But they did one chart showing the size of the milky way and then how far away the black hole was. It just kept going and going. Unreal. This universe is huge.
God bless these nerds.

Look. Here’s where I’m at emotionally today: I cried looking at a picture of a black hole that I’ve seen like 50 times before.
There is something so vastly comforting in knowing that there’s more to be discovered in the universe, and something vastly satisfying in seeing these astrophysicists succeed. Even though a lot of this is now, “old news,” it is exciting to see people excited about their work.
Sure, I failed math 301 and had to take it twice. Sure, I still have nightmares about being sent back to high school to re-take Algebra 2. Sure, I’m pretty certain I’m a minor disappointment to my father who has a PhD and teaches engineering courses around the world. Does any of that stop me from loving astronomy?
Never has, never will.

"A black hole is stranger than anything dreamed up by science fiction writers. A region of space where gravity is so strong that nothing can escape. Once you are over the edge, there is no way back." - Stephen Hawking, one of the greatest minds of our lifetime.
I needed background noise while I played Resident Evil 4: Remake and it's been a few days since my last review, so a documentary review was in order. I pulled up Netflix and searched documentaries and stumbled upon a great topic. Black Holes are one of the scariest natural phenomena in the universe and they're something that we know so little about. What happens inside and at the other end of these…

Curiosity: With Stephen Hawking
Thank you Stephen Hawking for answering questions that I was curious and questioning myself about!
RIP Stephen!

A really solid documentary which manages to combine two of my favourite things:-
1) Really really really smart people being really really really smart ; and
2) Space.
Can't say I necessarily understood all of it, but thought it was fascinating nonetheless.

"How do we come to have knowledge about unobservable entities?"
I'm not sure what blows my mind more: the existence/nature/power of black holes or how ridiculously intelligent the people who study them are. Honestly, they may as well have been speaking in klingon.
This was a disappointingly dry doc at times and the constant switching between two projects that were so different in approach was a bit annoying, but their sheer passion for trying to discover the undiscoverable was almost as awe inspiring as those big mysterious bastards themselves.
Always an utter treat to witness Stephen Hawking's mind at work though. It was kind of rushed through in this but his passing was clearly an enormous loss to those who spent time with him and the search for knowledge itself. It's a damn shame we'll never see his reaction to that now hugely important picture - without him it's never taken.

Black holes are galactic, analogic, interspacial anomaly of a million uncharted regions. Nothing can get out, everything can go in, nothing can come close, everything is vulnerable. The hole between holes. Undeniably terrifying, beautiful, and unshapable.
