Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Humanitys relationship with black holes began in 1783 in a small English village, when clergyman John Michell posed a startling question: What if there are objects in space that are so large and heavy that not even light can escape them? Almost 250 years later, in April 2019, scientists presented the first picture of a black hole. Profoundly inspired by that image, physicist Jonas Enander has traveled the world to investigate how our understanding of these elusive celestial objects has evolved since the days of Michell.With the particular goal of discovering our human connection to black holes, Enander visits telescopes and observatories, delves deeply into archives, and interviews over 20 world-leading experts, including several Nobel laureates. With Facing Infinity, he takes us on a spellbinding journey into the universes greatest mystery, deciphers the most mind-bending science, and answers questions surrounding how black holes work, where they come from, and what role they play in the universe.Along the way Enander discovers how our desire to understand black holes inadvertently paved the way for the invention of Wi-Fi and the calibration of our global navigation satellites, how astronomical discovery became entangled with colonial conflicts, and how our looking outward gave us critical evidence of the impact of climate change. Facing Infinity helps us appreciate and understand as never before these mysterious celestial objects and our surprising connections to them. A fresh, fascinating, up-to-the-moment appraisal of black holesthe massive astronomical objects with a gravitational pull so strong that nothing can escape them, not even lightsituating them at the center of our understanding of our place on Earth and in the universe Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardback. Condición: New. Main. 'Combines science with journalism to weave a captivating account of the most extraordinary objects in the universe: black holes. A superior account.' Marcus Chown'Facing Infinity is an especially attractive introduction to a wonderfully attractive subject.' Frank WilczekBlack holes aren't just cosmic mysteries - they're surprisingly essential to life on Earth.From GPS navigation to understanding climate change, these enigmatic objects shape our daily existence in ways you'd never imagine. They helped create the atoms in your body, mixed the chemical ingredients for life throughout the universe, and now help us measure our planet's changing surface with millimetre precision. Without supermassive black holes regulating star formation in galaxies, complex life might never have emerged anywhere.In Facing Infinity, astrophysicist Jonas Enander takes us on an extraordinary journey from eighteenth-century Britain to cutting-edge observatories around the world, revealing how the universe's darkest phenomena illuminate both our origins and future.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. From the 18th century vicar who was the first to look up at the night's sky and suggest there was something very dark and extraordinarily heavy that was moving the stars, to the first actual photograph of a black hole, 250 years later, Jonas Enander has travelled the world, visited telescopes and observatories, interviewed world-leading space researchers, and delved deep into the archives to investigate how our relationship with black holes has changed over time. Throughout this journey, Enander explores how our desire to answer the question of the origin of the universe inadvertently led to the invention of WiFi and the calibration of GPS; how our looking outward gave us critical evidence of our impact on climate change that could be the key to the future of all humanity and how colonialism sparked the race for discovery, affecting those most vulnerable, creating a ripple effect being felt to this day.Discover how black holes work, where they come from, and what role they play in the universe. How is it even possible to know that we are on a 230 million year journey around the Milky Way with an enormous black hole at its centre? How is it possible to determine that this black hole has a mass equivalent to four million suns? What happens when black holes collide? Are we living in a black hole? And how do we even know any of this?Based on interviews with over 20 leading black hole researchers, including several Nobel Laureates, Facing Infinity deciphers the most mind-bending science whilst retaining a sense of wonder, in an approachable and spellbinding journey into the universe's greatest mysteries. A fascinating and enlightening guide to the enduring mystery and majesty of black holes. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
