Description
Black Holes: The Key to Understanding the Universe At the heart of our galaxy lies a monster so deadly, not even light can escape its grasp. A place where space and time are so warped that light is trapped if it ventures within 12 million km. This is the world of black holes, where the laws of gravity, quantum physics, and thermodynamics collide. For centuries, physicists have struggled to understand these mysterious objects, which are thought to be the inevitable creations of gravity when too much matter collapses into not enough space. Recent breakthroughs, however, have revealed a new synthesis: a deep connection between gravity and quantum information theory that describes a holographic universe in which space and time emerge from a network of quantum bits. In this groundbreaking book, Professor Brian Cox and Professor Jeff Forshaw explore the latest research on black holes, taking you to the edge of our understanding of these enigmatic objects.
