The Little Book of Black Holes (Science Essentials): 29

Product Information

I think it’s beautifully illustrated in a highly believable but dramatic way, as well as including some amazing photographic images. The authors excel at describing these complex scientific ideas within relatable contexts, and they provide readers with detailed explanations of general and special relativity before discussing the cutting-edge experiments and theories that make black holes more intriguing than ever. But if that gravity it still pulling you in, check out the best astrophysics books for ordinary readers. Rather we might conclude that the language of computing is well suited to describing the algorithmic unfolding of the cosmos.

I started using the notebook format because that's how I thought—sometimes in words, sometimes in pictures. In February 2016, astronomers announced the discovery of gravitational waves, the last remaining prediction of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. com, Philip Plait presents some of the most fearsome end-of-the-world calamities (for instance, incoming asteroids and planet-swallowing black holes), demystifies the scientific principles at work behind them, and gives us the odds that any of them will step out of the realm of sci-fi to disrupt our quiet corner of the cosmos. If the core's mass is more than about three times the mass of the Sun, the equations showed, the force of gravity overwhelms all other forces and produces a black hole.

Four hundred years on, and everything is about to change again because humanity's unknown helpers have just sent what appears to be a bill. Naturally, I also love the fact that we now have images of an actual black hole — you know, a gravitational field so strong that not even light can escape it? Of all the non-fiction books about space for older children, this was the one I chose to share with my son.

Through this book, the authors step into the far future of the cosmos, starting from our universe today, lit with stars and galaxies, to a hundred trillion years hence when the last star has died.In contrast, high-quality relationships generate and sustain energy, equipping people to do work and do it well.

But these are incompatible, and physicists have tried to stitch these together for more than a century. Hawking explains complex concepts in a way that is easy for readers without a background in physics.Possibly one of the most bonkers picture books I’ve ever read – incorporating cake, cosmic vibrations, black holes, and cheese-salad sandwiches – it’s an absolute riot, and I loved the twist, which happens a bit before the end but is hilariously satisfying after all the madness leading up to it. Black Holes – A Very Short Introduction by Katherine Blundell: This book is part of the “Very Short Introductions” series and provides a straightforward explanation of black holes, their formation, and their role in astrophysics. We are now equipped to answer that question for black holes that do not spin, according to general relativity…For our purposes, we are going to recruit three more astronauts to join Red and Blue from the previous chapter in their exploration of the supermassive black hole in M87.
