Black Holes and Singularity
Einstein struggled with the concept of black holes due to the singularity at their centers, where his equations break down and become infinite. This raises intriguing questions about the nature of scientific equations, as Andrew argues that all equations are merely approximations rather than exact truths. The discussion highlights the fascinating interplay between theory and empirical evidence, exemplified by the small yet significant discrepancies found in Newton's predictions about Mercury's orbit.In this clip
