An observational achievement
In 2019, Lex Fridman asks physicist Leonard Susskind about the first image from the Event Horizon Telescope. Susskind calls it an extraordinary scientific achievement.

Susskind says the existence of black holes is not itself surprising and speculates that observations may teach researchers about the evolution of cosmic structure.
A century of progress
He reflects on a century of progress from general relativity to black-hole observations and gravitational-wave detection by LIGO. The interview moves between these distinct achievements.

Confirmation and admiration
Susskind marvels at the precision of the instruments and says the observations broadly confirmed his expectations rather than overturning them.
