Black holes and warped spacetime

Black holes and warped spacetime by William J. Kaufmann, III. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780716711520.

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. In "Black Holes and Warped Spacetime" astrophysicist William J. Kaufmann, III, illuminates one of the greatest mysteries of modern science. Exploring the topics that have most intrigued his lecture audiences, Dr. Kaufmann explains the nature and power of black holes, his engrossing, non-technical explanations enhanced by numerous illustrations. In "Black Holes and Warped Spacetime" youll discover a world of science fact stranger than science fiction. (From the dust jacket)
