A quick note: This week, the BBC posted the second of Stephen Hawking’s Reith Lectures focusing on Black Holes. And, once again, they’ve animated the presentation with some fun chalkboard illustrations. You can watch Part 1, “Do Black Holes Have No Hair?” here. And now Part 2, “Black Holes Ain’t as Black as They Are Painted,” above. Hawking is getting a little playful with his grammar, isn’t he? Enjoy.

The visual artist is a complete master!
To communicate this dense level of visual equivalence, he might have required more than 10 times what it took to say it, I guess…
Her understanding of what Hawking said is also very accurate. Even other great scientists might have trouble finding a visual representation of some modern terms.
Thank, you!
