The narration contains an error - the black globe in the middle is not the event horizon, it's "infinitely" redshifted outline of all material that ever fell into the hole. The real event horizon is invisible, in the simulation it is represented by the mesh that at one point jumps out from the black globe.

More details can be found here.

Nice!

The narrator also made a very beautiful vid about the hubble ultra deep field...

By the way I found this some years ago: http://casa.colorado.edu/~ajsh/schww.html

It's a bit old but well explained :)
