Brian Greene: Quantum Gravity, The Big Bang, Aliens, Death, and Meaning | Lex Fridman Podcast #232
Lex Fridman
A region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing, including light, can escape. Once a theoretical concept, now demonstrably real with direct images.
Barry Barish: Gravitational Waves and the Most Precise Device Ever Built | Lex Fridman Podcast #213
Lex Fridman
A region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape, a natural conclusion of general relativity proposed by Schwarzschild, and a primary source of gravitational waves detected by LIGO.

Lex Fridman
Discussed as objects whose collisions are sensed through tiny vibrations, indicating profound understanding of nature. Also mentioned as phenomena whose earliest moments are yet to be fully understood by current physics.

Special Relativity: This Is Why You Misunderstand It
Sabine Hossenfelder
An object in spacetime with such strong gravity that nothing, not even light, can escape. Time dilation near black holes is discussed as an extreme case of gravitational effects.

Celestial objects with immense gravity; falling into one involves crossing the event horizon and experiencing tidal forces that stretch objects apart.
