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

Synopsis
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.

Not the best documentary on black holes and the runtime was too long compared to the amount of information

It was good. Not so clear at some points though. I expected to learn something new, but it felt more like a vlog.

A lot of it was way over my head but you can't help but appreciate how much work goes into researching black holes. I mean they are working years and even decades on one project. Talk about some dedication.

i watched this while high, and recommend that mode if you're cool with it and also have 'space real big' anxiety panic? because i have a feeling if i hadn't been high my anxiety would have been too much to bear approximately 50% of the runtime and i would've just turned it off. if you're not anxious congrats, but my brain needs active forced relaxation to make me believe i can fathom space and time. either way there's loads of nice visuals throughout the film, an all around soothing watch despite the whole 'our universe is massive yet knowable how does that make me feel" contemplation that follows every real space thing i learn about.
