If information cannot be destroyed, what happens to the matter that falls into a black hole? This question brought two fundamental theories into conflict: Einstein's general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. This confrontation became known as the “information paradox.”
Our understanding of the structure of the Universe and of humanity itself depends on its resolution.
This film is a journey through three centuries of scientific ideas. Together with scientists, we will go step by step and see how they uncovered the mystery of a phenomenon, long considered impossible, but which today holds the key to understanding the structure of the micro- and macrocosm.
In this popular science film, we will:
Trace the history of a great discovery: from John Michell's prediction of "Dark Stars" in 1784 to the triumphant confirmation of the existence of the first black hole candidate, Cygnus X-1.
See what the invisible looks like. Find out who created the first image of a black hole and how, and compare it with real images from the Event Horizon Telescope.
Attempt to find out what happens to information that enters the zone of a black hole, and how the quantum ideas of Bekenstein, 't Hooft, and Susskind led scientists to a revolutionary hypothesis: our world may be a hologram.
Learn what the structure of the Universe and the structure of the human being have in common.
You can touch upon the unresolved mystery of the cosmos.
Watch to get the answers to the questions that the greatest minds have worked on for decades: Hawking, Einstein, Thorne, Susskind, and Rovelli.
