When I was in grade school, I opened a pack of bubblegum that had science facts inside. I never forgot reading that “a teaspoon of a black hole could weigh tons.” That idea stuck with me. Black holes were once just a strange idea on paper, but today we know they sit at the center of nearly every large galaxy, including our own. In this episode, we explore how something invisible can shape entire galaxies, and how scientists have managed to detect black holes without ever seeing them directly. Martin breaks down Einstein’s ideas on gravity, how collapsing stars create black holes, and what it really means when one is millions of times the mass of our Sun. You’ll also hear just how extreme these objects are, with densities so intense that a teaspoon of similar material could weigh billions of tons. From exploding stars to gravitational waves, this is a clear and fascinating look at one of the most mysterious forces in the universe.
I hope you enjoy this,

Martin
