The mystery of gravity has captivated us for centuries. But what is
gravity and how does it work? This engaging book delves into the
bizarre and often counter-intuitive world of gravitational physics.
Join distinguished astrophysicist Professor Luciano Rezzolla on
this virtual journey into Einstein's world of gravity, with each
milestone presenting ever more fascinating aspects of gravitation.
Through gentle exposure to concepts such as spacetime curvature and
general relativity, you will discover some of the most curious
consequences of gravitational physics, such as black holes, neutron
stars and gravitational waves. The author presents and explains one
of the most impressive scientific achievements of recent times: the
first image of a supermassive black hole. Written by one of the key
scientists involved in producing these results, you'll get a
behind-the-scenes view of how the image was captured and discover
what happens to matter and light near a black hole.
