Black holes suck!

They are voracious equal opportunity gobblers. Throw anything at them - stars, planets, pancakes, porsches, frisky electrons, protons battling a midlife crisis and they will take it, whole in one gulp, with space for second helpings.
But things have to go somewhere- so what happens to them after they cross over - out of our zone of perception?

String theory just might have an answer.

Join Suresh Nampuri, scientist and researcher in String Theory and Quantum Physics, in a deliriously heady winding looping tale of the black hole belly hunters and their quest to unlock the universe's primordial secrets, buried in how black holes digest, and it may all just be a case of shadows getting out of Plato's cave!
