A mesmerizing trip to the strange new world of white holes, from
Carlo Rovelli, the bestselling author of Seven Brief Lessons on
Physics Let us journey into the heart of a black hole. Let us slip
beyond its boundary, the horizon, and tumble - on and on - down
this crack in the universe. As we plunge, we'll see geometry fold,
we'll feel the equations draw tight around us. Eventually, we'll
pass it: the remains of a star, deep and dense and falling further
far. And then - the bottom. Where time and space end, and the white
hole is born . . . With lightness and magic, here Rovelli traces
the ongoing adventure of his own cutting-edge research, of the
uncertainty and joy of going where we've not yet been. Guiding us
to the edge of theory and experiment, he invites us to go beyond,
to experience the fever and the disquiet of science. Here is the
extraordinary life of a white hole.
