Black holes are phenomena in the cosmos where gravity pulls so much that even light can not escape. Our understanding is limited because we can’t get close enough to know what happens to objects as they cross the event horizon. we have theories about them based on the laws of physics and what we think happens to objects as they near them.

You might remember the satellite photograph of Powehi, a Hawaiian word that roughly translates as “dark source of unending creation.” It’s the first image of a black hole captured by our exploratory tools. As we talk through literal and metaphorical black holes, we concede that we have a minimal idea of what we are talking about but try to wrap our human understanding around a profound mystery. Join us Sunday as we continue this conversation around “Black Holes and their Meanings for Spirituality.”
