What is the self, really?

In this episode of LightInTheStatic, Hugo and Sarah probe one of humanity’s most elusive questions: “What is the self, really?” From ancient Greek musings and Eastern philosophical traditions to modern psychology and neuroscience, they explore how identity can be seen as everything from an unchanging essence to a fleeting illusion. Along the way, they share personal stories of shifting life roles, challenge the boundaries of memory and free will, and reflect on the power of narrative to shape who we think we are. Whether examining the rubber hand illusion or Buddhist notions of no-self, this conversation peels back the layers of our day-to-day “I” to reveal a kaleidoscope of perspectives. Tune in for a journey that may just change the way you see yourself—and open your eyes to the possibility that identity is as fluid, and as fascinating, as the waters we navigate every day.

The Thought Experiment That Predicted Black Holes

Before black holes became cosmic icons, they began as an unlikely idea in 18th-century England—when a scholar named John Michell speculated on “dark stars” so dense that light itself could never escape. In this episode of LightInTheStatic, Hugo and Sarah trace the fascinating trajectory of this centuries-old thought experiment, from its Newtonian roots to modern astrophysics. Along the way, they explore how Einstein’s theory of relativity refined Michell’s intuition, why black holes remained controversial for decades, and how today’s cutting-edge research—from gravitational waves to event-horizon imaging—confirms that these mysterious objects are more than just mathematical curiosities. It’s a story of bold questions, surprising answers, and the enduring power of curiosity to reshape our understanding of the universe.
