Dustjacket is also VG+ and is not price clipped. First UK edition. Asimov explores the implications of black holes, with lucid excursions into related questions. Was the mysterious 30-megaton blast that flattened a Siberian forest in 1908 actually a small black hole? Does matter drawn into a black hole reappear out the 'other side' as anti-matter, a sort of mirror image of the universe as we know it? Does their existence raise the possibility that matter can move faster than the speed of light? As he probes these and other questions, he takes us on a tour from the atom's innermost core to the outer reaches of the universe. 20 Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Seller Inventory # 008069

Was the mysterious 30-megaton blast that flattened a Siberian forest in 1908 actually caused by a small black hole? Does matter drawn into a black hole reappear out the 'other side' as anti-matter, a sort of mirror-image of the universe as we know it? Could back holes explain the 'Big Bang'? Does their existence raise the possibility that matter can move faster than the speed of light? The noted scientist and science fiction author explores the exciting implications of black holes, taking the reader on an engaging tour from the atom's innermost core to the outermost reaches of the universe. In a world of starquakes, anti-matter, red giants and white dwarfs, a star more massive than our own sun can disappear into a black hole from which not even light can escape. When this happens, the laws of physics have no meaning. Here is one of the great detective stories of modern science, followed to its conclusion by one of the most respected scientists writing today. It is a totally absorbing investigation of a phenomenon, only recently discovered, that may explain the mysterious 30-megaton blast that flattened a Siberian forest in 1908 - and that may, ultimately, be responsible for the collapse of the present universe .
