Description
"A fascinating and thought-provoking investigation into the nature of black holes--a blend of the spiritual, the philosophical, and the scientific--from the premier German astrophysicist who made history in 2019, capturing the first one on film"--,Provided by publisher.
Description
On April 10, 2019 Falcke, an astrophysicist, presented the first image ever captured of a black hole. That photo was captured with the unthinkable commitment of an intercontinental team of astronomers who transformed the world into a global telescope. The photo itself asks more questions for humanity than it answers. From the first humans looking up at the night sky to modern astrophysics, from the study of black holes to the still-unsolved mysteries of the universe, Falcke asks, in even the greatest triumphs of science, is there room for doubts, faith, and a God? Here he ponders the big, pressing questions that present themselves when we look up at the stars. -- adapted from jacket
