dune gom jabbar scene but it's a hard integral

The integral in this video is for measuring radial lengths near a Schwarzschild black hole:    • Relativity 108b: Schwarzschild Metric...  

In general relativity, gravity "bends" space so that it's "bigger on the inside", so volumes near black holes contain more space than you'd expect for a given boundary.

Credit to a combination of Wolfram Alpha and my boyfriend for helping solve it.
