We slip beyond its horizon and tumble down this crack in the universe. As we plunge, we see geometry fold. Time and space pull and stretch. And finally, at the black hole's core, space and time dissolve, and a white hole is born. Rovelli has dedicated his career to uniting the time-warping ideas of general relativity and the perplexing uncertainties of quantum mechanics. In White Holes, he reveals the mind of a scientist at work. He traces the ongoing adventure of his own cutting-edge research, investigating whether all black holes could eventually turn into white holes, equally compact objects in which the arrow of time is reversed. Rovelli writes just as compellinglyabout the work of a scientist as he does the marvels of the universe. He shares the fear, uncertainty, and frequent disappointment of exploring hypotheses and unknown worlds, and the delight of chasing new ideas to unexpected conclusions. Guiding us beyond the horizon, he invites us to experience the fever and the disquiet of science-and the strange and startling life of a white hole"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a White holes (Astronomy) $v Popular works. 650 0 $a Black holes (Astronomy) $v Popular works. 650 0 $a Quantum cosmology $v Popular works. 700 1 $a Carnell, Simon, $d 1962- $e translator. 776 08 $i Online version: 776 08 $a Rovelli, Carlo, 1956- $t White holes, $b First North American edition. $d New York : Riverhead Books, 2023 $z 9780593545461 $w (DLC) 2023015754 941 $a 7 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509012444.0 952 $l JKPC771 $d 20240215010625.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20240210011022.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20240201010248.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125011147.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20240104010623.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20231114010449.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8900CA2E495811EE9228709642ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
