Close up of Colonel Leroy Grant as he talks to Hawking about how the lifetime of a large Black Hole is very long. Camera pans over to Hawking as he gives facts about Black Holes such as their speed, where they are in space and that no light can escape from them. Camera zooms in on reporter Tim Child as he asks whether it is true that Black Holes are a hazard for space travellers. Stephen Hawking replies that they are less of a hazard than an ordinary star as they are much smaller. They discuss what would happen if a person came into contact with a Black Hole. Stephen Hawking states that if you fell into a Black Hole then you would never be able to come out again to tell us what you saw.
