In a recent study, Professor of Physics and Astronomy Miles Blencowe and his colleagues proposed a new way of creating a reproduction black hole in the laboratory. This artificial black hole would be on a much, much tinier scale than its celestial counterparts. In this podcast, Blencowe talks about his research and the importance of understanding the quantum world.
