Why it works
The opening shows a luminous black hole at 0:00 and lands its scale claim by 0:03, while internal animation changes the picture twice before that point. Familiar references turn abstract sizes into visible contrasts at 1:14–1:25 and 2:27–2:53; the latter overlaps a local replay peak. At 4:00–4:44, the expected growth ladder breaks into a missing range, renewing the question before a possible mechanism appears.
