There are some advantages to growing up very southern. In addition to being born with impressive trigger discipline, you squirrel away an arsenal of colloquialisms to fall back on in times of befuddlement or great stress. Case in point: When your effete boyfriend decides he’s had enough of the clois Leggi tutto

Want to learn what happens to stars when they die, but you lack a post-doc in astrophysics? You've come to the right place. Thorne has done an excellent job of putting just about anything you'd want to know about the topic in layman's terms, but the math and physics is also there if you want it. He

If you're into stuff like this, you can read the full review. Sagittarius A*: "Black Holes and Time Warps Einstein's Outrageous Legacy" by Kip S. Thorne The central argument of this book is undoubtedly true. We have lost our sense of wonder, especially in the last 20-30 years. I watched the first image Leggi tutto

Kip S. Thorne is one of the most important researchers in gravity and black holes. I this book,after a introductin as a sf short tale where a spaceship goes to the evet horizon of different sizes of black holes to investigate,the author explains clearly the principle of relativity is to say that the Leggi tutto

Uno de los mejores libros de divulgación sobre física que he leído. No es nada sencillo de leer y de entender, los conceptos que se explican pueden ser un poco duros y muy abstractos si no se tiene una base de física así que no es para todo el mundo. No sólo se habla de los agujeros negros en sí, ta Leggi tutto
