Description

The authors are clearly very excited about black holes and did their best to be accessible, and it’s not their fault that when it comes to information of Mona Lisa level my brain gets stuck in an equivalent of a clumsy sidewalk chalk drawing by an overexcited toddler. Peppered throughout the Universe, these "stellar mass" black holes are generally 10 to 24 times as massive as the Sun. I would advise a bit of a science background and perhaps a few other easier books in the subject first if you want to get the most out of this book, but if you don’t mind a bit of challenge and denser stuff flying over your non-physicist head then like me, you can brave it, and maybe you’ll like it, too. 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. But if you want to remember why you once fell in love with the idea of the cosmos, or want to fall in love with that idea for the first time, then this book is for you.

Books, in a way, are portals to other places and times, and as a child I wandered through the stacks of the local library, plumbing the depths of every strange world I could get my hands on. E (my level of enlightenment) was indeed directly related to the mass M (or density of my brain) multiplied by C squared (where C is the speed of light). But even though this it's hard to read, I think we can see through these theories from a mathematical point of view. The Black Hole War is about the black hole information paradox and the erupted dispute between Stephen Hawking and Leonard Susskind on whether the information is lost in the black hole or somehow retrieved.These are another theoretical kind with a mass much less than our sun that people were briefly worried the Large Hadron Collider might create. The role of information science in describing black holes may be pointing us towards a novel description of Nature, but this does not imply we were programmed.

Having started with a black hole, an object into which you could only fall, from which there was never any escape, he conjures a white hole, from which things can only pour. Prepare for a lot of weirdness but if you can make it to the end, you might feel a little shiver after grazing the last chapter.Instead, they are synthesised out of entangled quantum bits of information in a way that resembles a cleverly constructed computer code. Author Jorge Cham is known for his PhD comics, and he teamed up with a physicist to present this book. Sigfrid is itself an intriguing and, while it claims not to be sentient, still a sympathetic character. If you want to know more about black holes, this book covers many questions and answers to teach you.

Clocking in at less than 100 pages, Seven Brief Lessons on Physics distills complex topics, such as black holes and quantum mechanics, into easily digestible blocks of information that anyone can understand. Black Holes are one of the most mysterious phenomena in the universe, and learning about them can be both fascinating and intellectually rewarding.But if that gravity it still pulling you in, check out the best astrophysics books for ordinary readers. Inside I read The White People by Machen, Cast the Runes by MR James, and The Colour Out of Space by Lovecraft, and I was hooked. O grande feito deste livro foi fazer com que uma ex-estudante de Humanidades, que tinha uma vaga ideia de Física, se sentisse apta a responder a um questionário a esse respeito. Rovelli, an Italian physicist, manages to take the most difficult concepts in physics, from relativity and quantum mechanics to the nature of space and time, and explain them in straightforward, everyday language.
