Discussing the Science Behind F1’s New Rule Changes (feat. Lewis Hamilton)
"You can't go through a black hole. That we know. You want to try? 100%. If I could, I would."
In a spontaneous exchange with Neil deGrasse Tyson, Lewis Hamilton expressed willingness to attempt traveling through a black hole despite the scientific uncertainty and mortal danger. The conversation emerged from Hamilton's passion for cosmology and the film Interstellar, revealing the driver's appetite for extreme risk extends beyond motorsport. Tyson confirmed that black holes with relativistic time dilation effects exist in our galaxy, not just distant ones.
