@swedishbadgergirl and reddirecphthoo* here's what my Google-fu led me since I had mentioned I was going to start looking into more of NDT's lectures -

(regarding death by black holes, come to think of it this might have been what I was talking about when I said read/heard somewhere that falling into a black hole would kill you)

This will probably interest you guys a lot too. It's an hour long lecture so it's technical enough to give great insight yet easy to follow.

Thank you for the lecture!

No problem, I think I'm going to be looking into more of NDT's lectures, or some videos. So I would go as far to say that I'm probably going to share anything of interest or discussion worthy.

I heard something similar to this (iirc) on Through The Wormhole which is what got me into cosmology and what not, the episode on black holes is actually what sealed the deal for me. I have to also toss it out there that the one thing I really enjoy 'bout NDT is how accessible he makes everything. (see the recently ended Cosmos [2014] for what I mean)

No problem (if you're talking about the ones I've shared)
