All right, Brian Cox.
Good to see you, sir.
Good to see you again.
How's things in the world of the discovery of the universe?
Exciting.
Yes, very.
I've been doing some work on black holes recently, which I hadn't started last time I saw you,
actually.
So I got interested in it.
And the amount of the progress that's been made in trying to understand how they work
and a question that was posed by Stephen Hawking a long time ago, really 1970s, early 1980s,
which is what happens to stuff that falls in?
The simplest question you could possibly ask.
There's progress being made on that now, which I think is profound and exciting.
How is the progress being made?
How do we study a black hole?
I mean, it's mainly theoretical, although we have now got photographs of them.
