Black holes stand at the limit of what we can know. To explore that edge of knowledge, the Event Horizon Telescope links observatories across the world to simulate an earth-sized instrument. With this tool the team pursues the first-ever picture of a black hole, resulting in an image seen by billions of people in April 2019. Meanwhile, Hawking and his team attack the black hole paradox at the heart of theoretical physics-Do predictive laws still function, even in these massive distortions of space and time? Weaving them together is a third strand, philosophical and exploratory using expressive animation. "Edge" is about practicing science at the highest level, a film where observation, theory, and philosophy combine to grasp these most mysterious objects.
"One of the key scientific events of 2019 was when, for the first time, humanity managed to capture an image of a black hole thanks to the Event Horizon Telescope, something theoretically impossible. 'Black Holes: The Edge of All We Know' is a documentary that follows the scientists who contributed to this historic feat – Stephen Hawking among them – in a convergence of thoughts between science, theory, observation, and philosophy. It is a good approach to the process of scientific research and to one of the most relevant space events of our era, inspiring by merit of showing human collaboration."
