Black Holes: The Key to Understanding the Universe

Product Information

The authors try to describe the spacetime by something called Penrose diagrams. I think I did a good job understanding it to some extent. But when it came to quantum entanglement in the last chapters, I kind of gave up. Because the equations involved with those chapters were more complex than the rest.

Title summary: “Discusses the concept of gravity from its earliest recognition in 1666 to the discovery of gravitational waves in 2015, and explains why gravity holds the key to understanding the nature of time and the origin of the universe.”The writing is superb. Charles Burns clearly remembers what it's like to be a lovelorn, sex-crazed teenager. The angst, drug-addled tales are all too familiar if you toss out the ever-present threat of the sex plague. The more accurately you know the positions of particles, the less accurately you can know their speeds, and vice versa" This ex- cheerleader was a straight arrow slow poke... yet no matter what identity one related to ( None for me - just confused)....

The best discovery in this whole matter, I guess, is; "During most of the life of a normal star, over many billions of years, it will support itself against its own gravity by thermal pressure, caused by nuclear processes which convert hydrogen into helium." In this bleak graphic novel, set in the seventies, Seattle area teens have to deal with all the usual angst ridden issues of their age group - peer pressure, popularity, sex, isolation - AND - a strange, uncurable STD that causes not only eruptions of repulsive festering sores, but lumps, shedding skin, gaping wounds that talk, and tails. Kind of makes herpes seem like a walk in the park. Harmetz, Aljean (February 16, 1984). "Touchstone Label to Replace Disney Name on Some Films". The New York Times . Retrieved August 28, 2018.

Neilsen; Radio: Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration There's something here about being shunned by society because of appearances etc but it's such a done to death theme that it didn't really land here. It was weird and disturbing but ultimately the message was a bit lost I think. Did not like the art style at all, and the story is really weird and messed up? And at no point was I thinking 'wow, this is good I can't stop reading' it was actually more like, 'what the actual eff is happening here I NEED ANSWERS.' I haven't read this since, I don't know, some time in the early 2000s, and I don't know if I ever read it all the way through at the time – doing so now, I realise what a superb achievement it is, surely one of the greatest comics to come out of the American tradition. In his chunky, moonlit panels, Burns builds up a shifting association of images linking the erotic with the horrific until you are primed to react to the slightest of his gestures with great surges of dread or excitement.
