Highly readable and understandable book What sounds like Sheldon, Raj, and Leonard ought to be extrapolating on is actually relayed in laymen's terms and told by Ron Cowen as if a bunch of friends are out sharing good times and quantum theories but this time we all get it. He breaks down Einstein's theory of relativity so well, not to mention the laws of gravity, teachings of Aristotle, Galileo, Newton, Einstein, Hawking and even shares that black holes while still scary monsters do eventually shrink and dissipate (but how long ie. millenia does that take?). Eyes to the skies folks there is a black hole in the Milky Way Galaxy in the Sagittarius Constellation - it is the weirdest looking thing this giant black hole setting there right in the middle of the galaxy (that we are in) that has a gravatational pull that is four MILLION times greater than that of the SUN! So many phenomenal things you will learn from this book. Gravity bends light, folks as Einstein figured out in 1919 during a solar eclipse - today with better technology and equipment scientists ie. The Event Horizon Telescope and radio dishes connecting scientists all around the earth will allow scientists to prove Einstein's theory all the more - yeah, guys, seriously please do keep a watch on that black hole in our galaxy - that is very scary science reality not science fiction. Lots of good information about how gravity is really the key to understanding the universe. Well done, Ron Cowen. Highly recommend this book to all who are space curious, to students because this opens such seemingly difficult topics up in totally mind-blowing simplicity! We could all get it if everyone picked this book up. Great breakdown of quantum mechanics and quantum physics. Gravity has so much more to do with everything than we have considered. Unique and enlightening. A gem.
