How Can a Black Hole Trap Light If Light Has No Mass? | Relaxing Space Science Explained

How can a black hole trap light if light has no mass? It sounds like a contradiction, and it is one of the most fascinating puzzles in astrophysics. In this video, The Snoozy Scientist takes a slow, gentle look at what gravity really does to light, and why a black hole can hold onto something that weighs nothing. This is a calm, clear, science-explained journey through black holes, general relativity, and space-time. We move one idea at a time, using plain language and small analogies, so you never feel lost, even if you're tired. Along the way, we look at the intuitive picture of gravity most of us grew up with, and where that picture quietly stops working. Made for evenings and winding down, this long-form space documentary is meant to be listened to in bed, on the sofa, or at the end of a long day. Settle in, get comfortable, and let curiosity lead the way. #BlackHoles #Astrophysics #ScienceExplained #Space #Physics #GeneralRelativity #SpaceTime #Cosmology #RelaxingScience #CosmicMysteries #SpaceDocumentary #TheSnoozyScientist
