How the Universe Works: Black Holes (2010)
Season 1, Episode 2
6/10
Some good physics, lots of sensationalism
3 August 2023
Starts off with some real science but then starts to ramp up the theatrics. If a black hole was even remotely near our solar system, we would've experienced a raft of symptoms of the gravitational force of black holes.

"Black holes are on the loose right here in our own cosmic neighborhood", yep, they are, but if they were near enough to actually impact earth in the next few million years we'd know about it now because we're looking for these things.

I'm sat here, after watching this, thinking that theres so much real science to report, on that we don't need to embellish the facts just to sell a video, but I now realise that to engage with the masses we have to sensationalise.
