Korte beschrijving: Using a unique imaginative approach, Pickover creates two fictional scientists of the future who travel to a black hole where they perform a series of experiments designed to reveal all of the black hole's intriguing characteristics. Includes such experiments as to see how close an object can get to a black hole without being sucked inside, to demonstrate what happens to an object that does get sucked in and to explore the possibility of traveling through a black hole. Contains a stunning 8-page color insert of images of black holes created by the author who is an award-winning graphic artist.
