Nobel Prize for Physics Honors Black Hole Science

This year, the prize was split.

One half went to Sir Roger Penrose for doing the math that demonstrates that black holes should exist and how stars collapse into them.

The other half went to Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez, for essentially proving that the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy really does exist.

Because apparently the committee this year thinks (rightly) that black holes are indeed really cool.
