What is The Collapsing Universe: The Story of Black Holes about?
In a world of starquakes, anti-matter, red giants and white dwarfs, a star more massive than our own sun can disappear into a black hole from which not even light can escape. When this happens, the laws of physics have no meaning. Here is one of the great detective stories of modern science, followed to its conclusion by one of the most respected scientists writing today. It is a totally absorbing investigation of a phenomenon,only recently discovered, that may explain the mysterious 30-megaton blast that flattened a Siberian forest in 1908- and that may, ultimately, be responsible for the collapse of the present universe. "Cosmic drama"-Publishers Weekly "A Renaissance man born out of his time, Asimov's the greatest explainer of the age." - Carl Sagan
