Mathematical equations, cutting-edge science and Einstein’s theories fill in holes along the way, providing the most complete picture yet of this mysterious phenomenon.
In this show, you will zip through otherworldly wormholes, experience the creation of the Milky Way Galaxy, and witness the violent death of a star and the subsequent birth of a black hole.
