7:17Now PlayingIn this episode, Neil deGrasse Tyson, joined by co-host Chuck Nice, speaks with physicist Brian Cox about a provocative listener question: could tidal forces inside a black hole endlessly rip quarks apart, creating an explosive “quark catastrophe”? The discussion explores quark confinement, hadronization, energy conservation, and the strange nature of time inside a black hole, concluding that finite time before the singularity—and our ignorance of what a singularity truly is—prevents any infinite quark production.
