Abstract:
With black holes, what you see is not what
you get.
They are extreme structures of spacetime
that represent the ultimate prison,
from where even light cannot escape. After
decades of being a subject of
mathematical interest, recently black
holes became a topic of direct
observational studies, for which two Nobel
prizes were awarded over the past
three years. I will describe some of the
most exciting frontiers in current
multi-messenger studies of astrophysical
black holes.
