Astrophysicists Neil deGrasse Tyson and Janna Levin discuss the surprising origin of black holes in Einstein’s equations—despite Einstein himself not believing in their physical existence. They dive into Karl Schwarzschild’s groundbreaking discovery during WWI, explore Newton’s and Laplace’s views on cosmic stability, and share a memorable anecdote involving Stephen Hawking that ends with a profound realization: “You can’t think of everything.”
