Real-Life Demonstrations of Black Holes for Video

[avischiffman]

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!

What is it?

The merger of two Black Holes. You didn't read about it back when it happened? It was big news!
