This week Moiya and Corinne talk about the densest objects in the observable universe: black holes! They talk about Stephen Hawking's famous bets, "prove" we're in a kitchen-based simulation, and assure you that we Earthlings are not in danger of being sucked into a black hole. They're not vacuum cleaners!
