About this ebook
“It is said that fact is sometimes stranger than fiction, and nowhere is that more true than in the case of black holes. Black holes are stranger than anything dreamed up by science fiction writers.”
In 2016 Professor Stephen Hawking delivered the BBC Reith Lectures on a subject that fascinated him for decades – black holes.
In these flagship lectures the legendary physicist argued that if we could only understand black holes and how they challenge the very nature of space and time, we could unlock the secrets of the universe.

Though it is a small book, I loved it.. mainly knowing that there could be a ring (not point) of singularity in a rotating black hole blew my mind...

I had a wonderful experience while going through this book. Though the knowledge is superficial but a good guide if you are a beginner and want to know about black holes.
