How We Learned Black Holes Actually Exist | 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics

The video explores the concept of black holes, initially predicted by Einstein's equations but thought impossible. Roger Penrose's work in the 1960s proved their formation in an imperfect universe. Observational evidence by Andrea Gez and Reinhard Genzel confirmed a supermassive black hole at the Milky Way's center. Technological advancements in telescopes allowed astronomers to study stars orbiting this black hole, confirming its existence and mass.
