Seriously though, today's episode has been delayed due to my (Matt's) extreme obsessiveness. There are a couple of things I wanted to fix and so we're releasing the episode tomorrow instead. As a teaser, we'll be talking about what really happens at the event horizon of a black hole. Here's a gif I made as part of the graphics notes for Grayson. It's a black hole being dropped onto a spacetime diagram. The singularity is at X=0 and an event horizon appears at X=1. All light paths are curved in its vicinity. The light-cone of a falling observer bends towards the event horizon until, at that horizon, all possible futures encompass the singularity.
