Description of Death by Black Hole by Neil deGrasse Tyson ePub

“Death by Black Hole: And Other Cosmic Quandaries” is a perfect book and chapter to anyone who wants to learn about antimatter and other cosmic concepts. Neil deGrasse Tyson is the author of this awesome and beautiful book. Death by Black Hole: And Other Cosmic Quandaries is a fascinating book in which Neil takes us on a journey from Earth’s geography to theories on relativity to the depths of our universe. Neil deGrasse Tyson is among America’s leading astrophysicists, and certainly, it’s most successful in communicating to nonspecialists. In very readable prose, he takes us through a Cook’s tour of our solar system, starting with the various revolts among astronomers that took us away from an Earth-centered universe toward a sun-centered one (heliocentrism), then toward our modern understanding of the solar system as nowhere near the center of our galaxy (the Milky Way) that is nowhere near the center of the billions of galaxies that constitute the known universe.

This book is a selection of small essays that he’s written for various newspapers, magazines, and internet blogs. Death by Black Hole touches on a lot of amazing scientific concepts that are almost taken by granted by a lot of people today, but it provides a foundation for everything that we do in space or dealing with the cosmos. Dr. Tyson is excellent at taking these concepts and putting them in situations that we can understand as non-scientists complete with humor. A wonderful example of this is in the essay “Going Ballistic,” where he states what happens to a person who jumps through a hole dug through the center of the earth. The old “what happens when you dig all the way to China” quandary. He says, “Now comes the fun part. Jump in. You now fall continuously in a weightless, free-fall state until you reach the earth’s center, where you vaporize in the heat of the iron core.” He then goes on to ignore that complication and then talk about gravity and what happens as you move closer to and then farther from a center of mass. The thrill of finding out what we do know now, and how what we learn furthers our quest to unlock more and more secrets. An excellent read, accessible, incredibly interesting, and the price is right, as it’s available in paperback.
