In Einstein's Monsters, distinguished astronomer Chris Impey takes readers on a vivid tour of these enigmatic giants. He weaves a fascinating tale out of the fiendishly complex math of black holes and the colorful history of their discovery. Impey blends this history with a poignant account of the phenomena scientists have witnessed while observing black holes: stars swarming like bees around the center of our galaxy; black holes performing gravitational waltzes with visible stars; the cymbal clash of two black holes colliding, releasing ripples in space time. Clear, compelling, and profound, Einstein's Monsters reveals how our comprehension of black holes is intrinsically linked to how we make sense of the universe and our place within it."--Amazon.com   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 523.8875 Im   Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 523.8875 Im pbk Checked In Add Copy to MyList
