1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,330 is basically the best job in the world 2 00:00:10,870 --> 00:00:07,670 [Music] 3 00:00:13,970 --> 00:00:10,880 hi I'm Jeremy schnittmann I'm a research 4 00:00:17,769 --> 00:00:13,980 astrophysicist here at NASA's Goddard 5 00:00:21,170 --> 00:00:17,779 space flight center so we research 6 00:00:23,029 --> 00:00:21,180 primarily how to find black holes and 7 00:00:26,810 --> 00:00:23,039 then how to study them once we found 8 00:00:29,150 --> 00:00:26,820 them how do you use telescopes and 9 00:00:32,089 --> 00:00:29,160 satellites from NASA to better 10 00:00:34,250 --> 00:00:32,099 understand what is a black hole is it 11 00:00:36,290 --> 00:00:34,260 really the same thing that Einstein 12 00:00:38,810 --> 00:00:36,300 predicted a hundred years ago of course 13 00:00:40,970 --> 00:00:38,820 we can't do an experiment about a black 14 00:00:43,549 --> 00:00:40,980 hole in the lab but we can build 15 00:00:45,470 --> 00:00:43,559 telescopes to look at black holes and to 16 00:00:47,270 --> 00:00:45,480 look at galaxies and to look at the gas 17 00:00:50,110 --> 00:00:47,280 and the hot emission that comes from 18 00:00:54,470 --> 00:00:50,120 these objects I think my one big dream
