Über diesen Titel

This audio edition is narrated with dazzling enthusiasm by the author, Dr Becky Smethurst.

Right now, you are orbiting a black hole.

The Earth orbits the Sun, and the Sun orbits the centre of the Milky Way: a supermassive black hole, the strangest and most misunderstood phenomenon in the galaxy.

In A Brief History of Black Holes, the award-winning University of Oxford researcher Dr Becky Smethurst charts five hundred years of scientific breakthroughs in astronomy and astrophysics. She takes us from the earliest observations of the universe and the collapse of massive stars, to the iconic first photographs of a black hole and her own published findings.

A cosmic tale of discovery, Becky explains why black holes aren’t really ‘black’, that you never ever want to be ‘spaghettified’, how black holes are more like sofa cushions than hoovers and why, beyond the event horizon, the future is a direction in space rather than in time. Told with humour and wisdom, this captivating book describes the secrets behind the most profound questions about our universe, all hidden inside black holes.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I wasn't super expectant about a popular science book made by a youtuber, but it turned out, it is delightful. Great recap on the history of all the science that lead to our current knowledge on black holes. easy to follow explanations, even without the accompanying graphics.
Also the distinction between whats 'just' a mathematical model and what might be the reality from what we observe, is clearer than most of what I already learned about black holes.

Great listen

As great as Dr. Becky's YouTube videos but much more background and in depth information about the journey to the discovery of black holes.

Just great!

Wonderful intro to astrophysics! Dr Becky Smethurst is a wonderful scholar but also fantastic communicator of science! Loved the book even though the content was basic for me and I knew most of it.

The excitement and ease to communicate complexities
