Or science, or space, or the universe, or awe and wonder, or physics, or image technology. I’m not really sure what exactly this rec is recommending, but either way here is an image of an actual black hole in Carlo Rovelli’s White Holes that I just fully sobbed at. I hope you feel it too.

as someone thoroughly worn out by "multiverses" being crammed into all media, it's refreshing to learn about the theoretical ideas that pop sci-fi has been bastardizing

I love documentaries on astronomy and the universe. However, I find a lot of documentaries to be seriously dumbed down now (...IN A WORLD...). This is not. It's great, and it revolutionized my understanding of space/time.

Physical cosmology is my favorite bundle of pages to dive into on wikipedia; the articles are so dense with math that I don’t understand and theories that are so weird and out-there. It reminds me that I don’t know everything, and that there is so so much to know and learn about and so much more out there that has yet to be discovered.
Some highlights for me are The Ultimate Fate of the Universe, which is about theories on how the universe will end, and the Shape of the Universe, which seems like a silly thing to question but is actually a really complicated topic. It makes you think about geometry and space in a different way, and kind of breaks your brain a little bit.

I am by no means traditionally religious, but I fully understand how being in the presence of beautiful stained glass can feel like being with god. ALWAYS stop off at a church on the way if you think it might have good stained glass. The bluebells in the bottom right corner of this made me loose my breath for a moment.
