Sunday 10pm BLACK HOLE APOCALYPSE - Science/documentary - Astrophysicists show how black holes may hold the answers to how the universe evolved and led to life on Earth.
Black holes are the most enigmatic and exotic objects in the universe. They're also the most powerful, with gravity so strong it can actually trap light. And they're destructive. Anything that falls into them vanishes, gone forever. But now, astrophysicists are realizing that black holes may be essential to understanding how our universe unfolded, possibly leading to life on Earth and the human race.
In this two-hour special, astrophysicist and author Janna Levin takes viewers on a journey to the frontiers of black hole science. Along the way, we meet leading astronomers and physicists on the verge of finding new answers to provocative questions about these shadowy monsters: Where do they come from? What’s inside? What happens if you fall into one? And what can they tell us about the nature of space, time, and gravity?
