High School Real-Life Demonstrations of Black Holes for Video

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on creating real-life demonstrations for a video about black holes, emphasizing hands-on experiments rather than animations. The user has already planned demonstrations like a gravity well and a balloon experiment to illustrate density. Suggestions include incorporating the LIGO Chirp, which is the sound of two black holes merging, as an engaging audio element. Participants express enthusiasm about the LIGO event, highlighting its significance in black hole research. The conversation encourages creative, practical demonstrations to enhance the educational content of the video.

Hi, I am working on a video, and I was wondering if any of you knew of some real-life demonstrations I can do about black holes? So far I have the gravity well, and the balloon covered by foil that you crush to show same mass but denser. My video is about the anatomy of a black hole, so I cover all the parts from photon spheres to singularities. Do any of you know of some interesting and or funny demonstrations I can do in real life? Limited visual effects because I want less animation and more me actually doing stuff.

Thank you!

That sounds awesome. What is it? Also I meant to say like real life demonstrations I can do myself, but that's also some pretty cool audio!
 

Thread 'EPR revisited'

In an inertial frame of reference (IFR), there are two fixed points, A and B, which share an entangled state $$ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(|0>_A|1>_B+|1>_A|0>_B) $$ At point A, a measurement is made. The state then collapses to $$ |a>_A|b>_B, \{a,b\}=\{0,1\} $$ We assume that A has the state ##|a>_A## and B has ##|b>_B## simultaneously, i.e., when their synchronized clocks both read time T However, in other inertial frames, due to the relativity of simultaneity, the moment when B has ##|b>_B##...
