We view time as a constant, but physics reveals it is entirely malleable. Near a black hole, time slows to a crawl, and at the singularity, it stops completely. Watch to see how the fabric of our universe creates and destroys the very concept of time depending on gravity and mass.

00:00Time didn't exist before the universe did, which means asking what happened before the Big Bang
00:06is like asking what's north of the North Pole. Einstein proved it first. Time is not a backdrop,
00:15it is a dimension, woven into the fabric of space itself. Near a black hole, time slows to almost
00:23nothing. At the singularity, it stops entirely. And at the Big Bang, the equations don't show time
00:32beginning, they show time ceasing to be meaningful. You don't live in time, time lives in you,
00:40because you are made of the universe that created it.
