bA mesmerizing trip to the strange world of white holes from the bestselling author of iSeven Brief Lessons on Physics iand iThe Order of Timeib pLet us journey, with beloved physicist Carlo Rovelli, into the heart of a black hole. 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. pRovelli has dedicated his career to uniting the time-warping ideas of general relativity and the perplexing uncertainties of quantum mechanics.

He shares the fe
