Black holes are the most extreme objects in the universe, yet every
galaxy harbours a black hole at its centre. In Einstein's Monsters,
Chris Impey builds on this profound discovery to explore questions
at the cutting edge of cosmology, such as what happens if you
travel into a black hole and whether the galaxy or its black hole
came first. Impey chronicles the role black holes have played in
theoretical physics. He then describes the phenomena that
scientists have witnessed while observing black holes: dozens of
stars swarming around the dark object at the centre of our galaxy;
black holes performing gravitational waltzes with normal stars; the
cymbal clash of two black holes colliding, releasing ripples in
spacetime. Einstein's Monsters is the incredible story of one of
the most enigmatic entities in nature.
