Make Sense of
Black Holes
Black holes. They are one of the most exotic, mind-boggling, and
profound subjects in astrophysics. Not only are they at the heart
of some of the most intriguing phenomena in the cosmos, they’re
the gateway to fundamental and cutting-edge concepts like general
relativity and wormholes.
Nearly everyone has heard of black holes, but few people outside
of complex scientific fields understand their true nature and their
implications for our universe. Black Holes Explained finally makes
this awe-inspiring cosmological subject accessible, with 12 lavishly
illustrated lectures delivered by distinguished astronomer and award-winning Professor Alex Filippenko. As he presents the actual science
behind these amazing objects, you’ll make sense of Einstein rings,
photon spheres, event horizons, and other concepts central to the
study of black holes. Like its subject matter, this course is intriguing,
eye-opening, and essential to your knowledge of how the universe
works.
