Final Jeopardy Explanation – Wednesday, 2 October 2024

Physicist John Wheeler is credited with coining the term “black hole” as a faster and more accessible way to describe “completely collapsed gravitational objects.” Before Wheeler introduced this term in a 1967 lecture, these cosmic phenomena were typically referred to by the more cumbersome phrase. The term “black hole” quickly caught on due to its simplicity and vivid imagery, effectively conveying the concept of a region in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from it. This marked a significant shift in astrophysical terminology and helped popularize the concept in both scientific circles and the general public.
