Description

What happens at the heart of a black hole—and could anything that falls in ever emerge again? This concise, lyrical exploration introduces white holes, theoretical objects predicted by general relativity and reimagined through the possibilities of quantum mechanics, as the reverse of black holes: regions from which matter can escape but never enter. Guiding readers on a metaphorical journey toward and beyond a black hole’s horizon, the book illuminates the strange nature of space, time, gravity, and the limits of scientific knowledge. With characteristic clarity and wonder, it makes an esoteric idea accessible while inviting readers to consider how our understanding of the universe continues to evolve.
