White Holes

<b>Carlo Rovelli</b> is an internationally acclaimed writer whose books including <i>Seven Brief Lessons on Physics</i> <i>The Order of Time</i> and <i>Helgoland</i> have been number one bestsellers around the world and translated into over forty languages. As a theoretical physicist he has made significant contributions to the physics of space and time and he is currently directing the quantum gravity research group of the Centre de physique théorique in Marseille France. <b>Carlo Rovelli is the poet of physics</b>. His sense of wonder obliterates the barrier between Science and the Arts <b><i>White Holes</i> edifies excites and even transforms me</b>. Rovelli summons us to novel forms of knowledge while also breathing life into questions that affect all sentient beings such as: how do we proceed when our guides no longer suffice? I’m grateful for the warm invitation to the journey Carlo Rovelli's combination of <b>a brilliant scientific mind with philosophical clarity and a deeply and humanely poetic gift of expression</b> is rare. This latest book is<b> a wonderful addition to an already impressive list of works</b> leading us from the remotest reaches of cosmological speculation to revolutionary insights into our own consciousness What a lovely idea to cast research into white holes - which may or may not be floating like dragonflies through the universe - as <b>a Dantean journey to the heart of cutting-edge theory. Beautifully done</b> <b>Thought-provoking mind-expanding and utterly charming</b>. An intellectual feast that's also a fast and entertaining read To venture across the threshold of a black hole and then - incredibly - to burst through to the other side into the imagined but unseen realm of a white hole requires the most expert and sympathetic of guides. <b>Carlo Rovelli is just who you need for such a daunting cosmic journey - ever patient crystal clear and ready with a steadying hand</b>. What could be a bewildering experience becomes one that's lyrical and illuminating. <b>I read this short enchanting mind-opening book in one sitting and was so gripped I immediately read it again</b> World renowned physicist Rovelli's writing is so magical - weaving in Dante and Einstein and art as he goes - you're happy to be transported. <b>His new book - to be gorgeously giftily packaged in a design by Coralie Bickford-Smith - takes us on a bewitching trip into the heart of a black hole.</b> There where time and space end its opposite - a white hole - is born <p><b>A mesmerizing trip to the strange new world of white holes from Carlo Rovelli the bestselling author of <i>Seven Brief Lessons on Physics</i></b></p><p><br>Let us journey into the heart of a black hole. Let us slip beyond its boundary the horizon and tumble - on and on - down this crack in the universe. As we plunge we'll see geometry fold we'll feel the equations draw tight around us. Eventually we'll pass it: the remains of a star deep and dense and falling further far. And then - the bottom. Where time and space end and the white hole is born . . .<br><br><br> With lightness and magic here Carlo Rovelli traces the ongoing adventure of his own cutting-edge research of the uncertainty and joy of going where we've not yet been. Guiding us to the edge of theory and experiment he invites us to go beyond to experience the fever and the disquiet of science. Here is the extraordinary life of a white hole.<br></p>
