The quest to understand the most mysterious object in the universe.
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.

Physics. Yes, this is one of those documentary topics where you understand less than half of what you hear, and even with most of what you understand it is difficult to picture or place into perspective. A black hole larger than several planets millions of miles away, an entity of nothingness that swallows everything that comes near it but which we can’t see. Sure, I’m with you. It is tempting to state that the…
