Little Red Dots are one of the biggest mysteries from JWST so far. They could be galaxies. They could be supermassive black holes. But they also could be supermassive stars. In fact, this suggestion could help solve another big cosmological mystery about globular clusters. More details on that in this interview.

We built a search engine that allows us to search through all the Questions Shows we've recorded to look for specific topics. It turns out that black holes were the most searched-for topic, so we decided... let's make a supercut of all 300, spanning 10 years of my life, running 10 hours long. Was it a good idea? Insanity? We're beyond that point now. So busy wondering if we could, we never stopped to ask if we should. Nor will we... ever.

So now, you have the perfect machine to fall asleep to. Forever. An actual human, droning on until the heat death of the Universe. It will drive you mad, and yet, you might see the truth of the cosmos.

The only way past is through. Proceed into the black hole... with caution.
