- Synopsis
- YOU ARE NEARING A BLACK HOLE. — What was once a massive star, perhaps millions of times bigger than our own sun, has collapsed into oblivion...and is now a hole in the universe. As you fall at almost the speed of light toward the edge, time begins to slow down and soon will cease to exist. The hands on your clock will stop, and so will your heartbeat. Finally, with no possibility of ever turning back, you will disappear from this universe. Astrophysicist William J. Kaufman takes you across our turbulent cosmos to observe the most awesome phenomena ever predicted by modern science. The wonders you will discover--explained in terms you will understand--surpass even the wildest imaginings of science fiction.
