#26 Black Holes - Part1 : The Death Sentence for Stars (Malayalam)

Black Holes are the universe’s strangest and most fascinating objects. Right now, you are orbiting a black hole. The Earth goes around the Sun, and the Sun goes around the center of the Milky Way: a supermassive black hole—the strangest and most misunderstood phenomenon in the galaxy. In this podcast series, we are trying to uncover the weird and wonderful world of black holes, from the collapse of massive stars to the iconic first photographs of a black hole in 2019. A cosmic tale of discovery, here we discuss why black holes aren’t really ‘black,’ that you never want to be ‘spaghettified,’ how black holes are more like sofa cushions than hoovers, and why beyond the event horizon, the future is a direction in space rather than in time. In this first part of the podcast series, Roy explains how Stars are formed and how their graveyards are made from white dots to black holes.

Episode hosts: Roy Vrindavanam & Bino Manjasseril
