Black Hole Apocalypse | Gravity and Spacetime

Learn how gravity can be described as the curving of spacetime, according to Einstein’s general theory of relativity, in this video from NOVA: Black Hole Apocalypse. Computer animations illustrate the concept of warped spacetime and how objects “fall” along a curved path. Use this resource to visualize the abstract concept of spacetime and to illustrate the progress of scientific thought. This resource is part of the NOVA: Black Hole Apocalypse Collection. Support materials include: Background Reading, Teaching Tips, and Discussion Questions. This resource was developed through WGBH’s Bringing the Universe to America’s Classrooms project, in collaboration with NASA.
