Part 2/7:
The podcast kicked off with an exploration of black holes and how they are perceived within the realm of theoretical physics. Tyson and Cox highlighted that black holes do not merely "consume" matter; instead, they act as entities that might still harbor the foundational information of anything that crosses their event horizon. Cox hinted at the notion that understanding black holes requires rethinking how we define information in the universe. He emphasizes that it may not be lost but rather transformed, suggesting a deeper layer to the cosmic puzzle that challenges conventional thinking.
