Black holes fascinate people who just started learning about astronomy. This is my overview of the premiere Gee Whiz Bang Pow of outreach. Black Holes are the ultimate triumph of gravity over matter. The most mysterious objects in the cosmos, as they do not reveal their innards to any probe. This is part of my complete intro Astronomy class that I taught at Willam Paterson University and CUNY Hunter.
WHOOPS LIST:
1) Just after 43:00, I misstated that all the light of the universe would fall into a black hole. Of course, that's not true. I should have said: "As you get closer to the singularity falling straight in looking up, you see all the light of the history of the universe that crosses the event horizon of the black hole you're in." Remember that a black hole is a very small target, however, light does pass through the event horizon. If the universe were to live to, say, 100 quadrillion years, then all the light that would ever enter the black hole for all that time would be seen by you all in a moment.
