À propos de cet audio

This audio edition is narrated with dazzling enthusiasm by the author, Dr Becky Smethurst.

Right now, you are orbiting a black hole.

The Earth orbits the Sun, and the Sun orbits the centre of the Milky Way: a supermassive black hole, the strangest and most misunderstood phenomenon in the galaxy.

In A Brief History of Black Holes, the award-winning University of Oxford researcher Dr Becky Smethurst charts five hundred years of scientific breakthroughs in astronomy and astrophysics. She takes us from the earliest observations of the universe and the collapse of massive stars, to the iconic first photographs of a black hole and her own published findings.

A cosmic tale of discovery, Becky explains why black holes aren’t really ‘black’, that you never ever want to be ‘spaghettified’, how black holes are more like sofa cushions than hoovers and why, beyond the event horizon, the future is a direction in space rather than in time. Told with humour and wisdom, this captivating book describes the secrets behind the most profound questions about our universe, all hidden inside black holes.

Ce que les critiques en disent

A jaunt through space history . . . with charming wit and many pop culture references
A fantastic read . . . there's certainly a lot to suck you in (unlike black holes, of course)
A lot of astrophysics is packed into this neat little book (Jim Al-Khalili on Space: 10 Things You Should Know )
Bite-sized, cutting edge science delivered with enormous enthusiasm (Chris Lintott on Space: 10 Things You Should Know)

I am a big fan of Dr Becky’s YouTube channel. And before that I was a big fan of her on Deep Sky Videos. I Really enjoyed this book. So full of gripping information and told with her trademark happy cheerfulness.

Such a good book. So informative.

Dr. Becky Smethurst obviously has a passion for sharing her passion with people, and does it well. A very interesting history of recent discoveries and intellect, and the time and efforts of many brilliant past minds.

Well Articulated and Clever

Great read Dr. Becky! Found you on YouTube this year and just finished this book. You’ve made the whole thing really enjoyable with the way you read. It was just like listening to your videos. I’ve learned many things. Hopefully I’ll remember some of it. Great book!

Coming from a scientist background in a different area myself I felt that this book is the first time someone makes gives me a good overview and puts all of these well known things into an order. Listening to this book I had many moments thinking „oh that is what this is based on“ and „oh that is why they got the Nobel price“. Great book.

Best history book

Dr. Becky is a blast to listen to on YouTube and listening to her detail a history and laymen's explanation of Black Holes is just more of a good thing. Very interesting, informative and fun.

The author's enjoyment is contagious!
