!00% 5 ***** Wow! I just might have to get one. Price is right too.
: HC..
: It was called, 'Black Holes and Warped Spacetime,' by Dr.
: William Kaufman..(Astrophysicist) I wanted to know more
: about Science and more about the creator .. I bought it
: right after the birth of my oldest son and he is 36.. This
: book still rocks!

: What are black holes? They may be bridges into other universes
: or pathways into the past or future. They infinitely warp
: space and time, allowing nothing to escape: not matter, not
: even light. They are stellar corpses that have crushed
: themselves into oblivion, seemingly suspending the
: traditional laws of physics. The Big bang may have peppered
: the universe with primordial black holes, as small as
: protons but as massive as mountains. The universe itself
: may be disappearing into the final black hole. Black holes
: (BHs) and their warping effect on spacetime are described,
: beginning with a discussion on stellar evolution that
: includes white dwarfs, supernovas and neutron stars. The
: structure of static, rotating, and electrically charged BHs
: are considered, as well as the general theory of
: relativity, quantum mechanics, the Einstein-Rosen bridge,
: and wormholes in spacetime. Attention is also given to
: gravitational lenses, various space geometries, quasars,
: Seyfert galaxies, supermassive black holes, the evaporation
: and particle emission of BHs, and primordial BHs, including
: their temperature and lifetime. The author's engrossing,
: non-technical explanations are enhanced by numerous
: illustrations.
