| Description: |
As the universe evolves, could it be the ultimate fate of all matter to be "swallowed" by black holes? This text explores this theory, amongst others, tracking the observations and accidents through which scientists discovered black holes and the related phenomena they power. |
| Synopsis: |
'For years, black holes have caught the public's imagination - quite rightly so, for they are extraordinary objects. Now Martin Rees and Mitchell Begelman have provided us with a dramatic, elegant, and fully authoritative account of these remarkable structures, and of how they fit into our modern picture of the universe.' - Roger Penrose With superb illustrations and photographs, Mitchell Begelman and Martin Rees, the Astronomer Royal, describe how black holes were found and what their existence implies for the evolution of our universe. |
