[Vision2020] 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics & Hitchens on black hole awesomeness

[Kenneth Marcy]

The 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded 1/2 to Roger Penrose and 1/4 each to Andrea M. Ghez and Reinhard Genzel for their works on black holes.  Penrose is at Oxford in the UK, and the other two are at the University of California, at Los Angeles and Berkeley, respectively.
The announcement of the subject matter of their prize work reminded me of the Christopher Hitchens talk about the awesomeness of black holes, and the accompanying video that was released about it.  Here is a link to the video, which is only 4:29 in length.  Some readers may recognize and remember the presentation venue.
"If you want to be awe inspired.." (Christopher Hitchens)
