What We Do & Still Don’t Know About Black Holes

You are here: Home / Archive / Feature Stories / What We Do & Still Don’t Know About Black Holes
Published: June 25, 2023 by VPR Producer

Black holes have always intrigued and captured the imagination of millions since they were first theorized and coined by German physicist Karl Schwarzschild in 1916. For decades, scientists have worked to learn more about these mysterious objects in space.

However, even today, there’s still much we don’t entirely understand about these mysterious phenomena. Janna Levin, an astronomy & physics professor at Columbia University, joins us to discuss the most intriguing aspects of these space giants.
