Gravity's engines: The other side of black holes

Caleb Scharf explains why astronomers now think black holes played a vital role in sculpting the universe into its present form.


It’s an incredible story that spans 13 billion years, and takes us from the realm of subatomic physics to the edge of ferocious black holes ten billion times the mass of our Sun. You might think that they’re hidden and invisible, lurking in darkness, but they’re not! Astrobiologist Caleb Scharf explains why astronomers now think that black holes played a vital role in sculpting the universe into its present form.
