As featured in THE EDGE OF ALL WE KNOW - the new Netflix
documentary about Black Holes For readers of Stephen Hawking, a
fascinating account of the universe from the perspective of
world-leading astrophysicist Heino Falcke, who took the first ever
picture of a black hole. 10th April 2019: a global sensation. Heino
Falcke, a man "working at the boundaries of his discipline and
therefore at the limits of the universe" had used a network of
telescopes spanning the entire planet to take the first picture of
a black hole. Light in the Darkness examines how mankind has always
looked to the skies, mapping the journey from millennia ago when we
turned our gaze to the heavens, to modern astrophysics. Heino
Falcke and Jorg Romer entertainingly and compellingly chart the
breakthrough research of Falcke's team, an unprecedented global
community of international colleagues developing a telescope
complex enough to look directly into a black hole - a hole where
light vanishes, and time stops. What does this development mean? Is
this the beginning of a new physics? What can we learn from this
about God, the world, and ourselves? For Falcke, astrophysics and
metaphysics, science and faith, do not exclude one another. Black
Hole is both a plea for curiosity and humility; it's interested in
both what we know, and the mysteries that remain unsolved.
