Description
Orbiting a black hole, you are surrounded by an invisible void that warps space and time. In A Brief History of Black Holes, Dr Becky Smethurst explores five hundred years of scientific breakthroughs in astronomy and astrophysics, from the earliest observations of the universe to her own published findings. Black holes may be misunderstood phenomena, but they hold secrets about our universe that are waiting to be uncovered. This book takes you on a journey through space history, explaining why black holes aren't really 'black', how they behave in ways both surprising and counterintuitive, and what lies beyond the event horizon. With humour and wisdom, Dr Smethurst reveals the fascinating story behind these cosmic enigmas. Told with charm and wit, A Brief History of Black Holes is a captivating exploration of the universe's most profound questions, all hidden inside black holes.
