You've probably seen THAT photograph. So, why are black holes so important? Why's this fuzzy little picture of some distant faraway thingummy sending scientists and all those smart people into a frenzy? Well, it's complicated, but thankfully the Simblified gang have watched several Youtube videos and attempt to explain it to you with some signature "humour". We look at how some Hydrogen atoms in outer space get really horny, get it on, form stars, which eventually implode and form black holes. These utterly fascinating things - which confounded even Einstein & Hawking - hold a lot of secrets to our universe. Join us and get enough fodder to make your next water cooler conversations awesome - you'll be saying things like "Heh, my appraisal was like an Event Horizon!" in no time. (Ok, maybe don't say that - we don't want your social life to be like what this episode is about). Some awesome videos on black holes you should check out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWO-cvGETRQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdySHadrYAA NEW TO SIMBLIFIED? It's an Indian podcast - probably the best to come from Malad West - that takes things that happen around us, and deconstructs them in a language you can understand, often surmounting several puns and PG Wodehouse references along the way. We aim to make you appear smarter during parties, job interviews, and dates. Your hosts (and Twitter / Instagram handles) are Chuck (@chuck_gopal / @chuckofalltrades), Srikeit (@srikeit, @srikeit) and Naren (@shenoyn, @shenoynv).
