Stephen Hawking – the well-known physicist of our times has written this famous book, which till now has sold more than 10 million copies. Perhaps the greatest contribution from Hawking to theoretical physics was his discovery; the actual formation and functioning of black holes in the universe. These entities happen to be highly dense objects, imploding on itself after the death of a star. The gravity of the object becomes enormously disproportionate to its size. This makes it literally suck in – anything which crosses its path. Hence the name Black holes, interestingly black holes cannot be observed through an imaging telescope and can only be felt through observing space and how objects in a specific area tends to behave. If there is a presence of black-hole objects surrounding it show a tendency to pulled towards a centre area in the given context of space. Hawking never did any of these experiments, but was able to prove the presence of these entities, through his mathematical brilliance. Apart from black holes, the book also describes – Big Bang and Light Cones. This book and other books are available on the India shopping website – homeshop18.com.
