Building Black Holes in a Lab
Building Black Holes in a Lab PBS Space Time
Black holes are about the worst subjects for direct study in the universe and studying the physics of real black holes is much, much harder. But it turns out we don’t need to make them instead we can study analog black holes called analogies. Physical systems that aren’t black holes but that behave in similar ways may reveal the real behaviors of real black holes.
