I’ll read it properly later, but this bit is not encouraging:
“the four-dimensional fabric of the universe, but gravity becomes so strong in black holes that the space-time fabric bends toward its breaking point — the infinitely dense “singularity” at the black hole’s center.”

> even though these mysterious, invisible spheres appear to stay a constant size as viewed from the outside, their interiors keep growing in volume
Um, no.
> infalling things never quite reach the mysterious singularity at the bottom
No. They reach the singularity in a small finite time.
> What is the thing which is growing?
Nothing.
Much as I admire Susskind, I think he’s gone too far this time.
