What even are they? In brief, a black hole is a region of spacetime so curved by gravity that even light cannot escape it. Peculiar objects, and notoriously difficult to understand, black holes are a fascinating fusion of the simple and the complex. Although the mathematics of their behavior is fiendishly difficult, we can explore the subject by starting with basic principles and straightforward thought experiments. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Read on to uncover what's inside a black hole, how scientists discovered this amazing phenomenon, what to do if you find yourself falling into one, and--since no one is likely to turn up and help (you'll find out why)--what you need to do to escape! The author dispels common myths about black holes, provides guidance on how to win several Nobel prizes, and reveals the eventual fate of the Universe (maybe). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlack Holes\u003c\/i\u003e is part of the Illuminates series of short, accessible books that examine amazing aspects of space, brought to you by Royal Observatory Greenwich. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Royal Museums Greenwich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/05\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781906367855\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128","brand":"Ed Bloomer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41500354609333,"sku":"9781906367855","price":11.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_46ea2fe7-280b-4896-af80-b8425b28180d.jpg?v=1641275992","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/black-holes-9781906367855","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
