All engine running,

running, absolutely genius.

Get this.

Welcome.

This is the show where we bring you science.

What that essentially means is discovery,

the classes, research, technology, unbelievable.

Without further ado, this is the naked scientist.

the show that brings you the latest in science, technology and medicine. I'm Will Tingle and this week I'm exploring the phenomena of black holes.

Firstly, what are they? Secondly, where can I find one? And thirdly, what happened where I to fall in and maybe even get thrown back out?

The Naked Scientists Podcast is powered by UKfast.co.uk. UK. Black holes are one of the most extreme things in the universe.
