fascinating video

http://www.wimp.com/holesuniverse/

The above link should take any one interested to an 18 minute long video on really old and big black holes.

Hopefully the science is as good as the production.

Hey Brian;

Excellent photography and effects !! One of the best I've seen !

I liked the timelapse simulation of the spacetime slice showing the coelescing of early gases into galaxies/BHs. (8:42)

The BH merger sequences towards the end were really cool, also.

Ah … the final line in the commentary … "the cosmic struggle between matter (gravity?) and energy" … its a bit like the Science Forum at IIS in microcosm !!



Thanks for the heads-up .. overall, a good documentary with some new material that I haven't seen before.

Cheers
