That is not the only "Black Hole" program that has just come out. Google video has just added a documentary from the Science Channel on Supermassive Black Holes. You can find it at:

For Black Holes enthusiats, here some info about the future (not so far away, anyhow) production of tiny man-made Black Holes, at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) under construction close to Geneva, Switzerland.
Look here:

http://www.lifeboat.com/ex/particle.accelerator.shield

They say
"According to some theoretical models, tiny black holes could be produced in collisions at the LHC. They would then very quickly decay into what is known as Hawking radiation (the tinier the black hole, the faster it evaporates) which would be detected by experiments."


Wow! And if they don't evaporate? 8O
Bye
