Black Holes and Time Warps: Einstein's Outrageous Legacy

Ever since Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity burst upon the world in 1915 some of the most brilliant minds of our century have sought to decipher the mysteries bequeathed by that theory, a legacy so unthinkable in some respects that even Einstein himself rejected them. Which of these bizarre phenomena, if any, can really exist in our universe? Black holes, down which anything can fall but from which nothing can return; wormholes, short spacewarps connecting regions of the cosmos; singularities, where space and time are so violently warped that time ceases to exist and space becomes a kind of foam; gravitational waves, which carry symphonic accounts of collisions of black holes billions of years ago; and time machines, for traveling backward and forward in time. Kip Thorne, along with fellow theorists Stephen Hawking and Roger Penrose, a cadre of Russians, and earlier scientists such as Oppenheimer, Wheeler and Chandrasekhar, has been in the thick of the quest to secure answers. In this masterfully written and brilliantly informed work of scientific history and explanation, Dr. Thorne, the Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics at Caltech, leads his readers through an elegant, always human, tapestry of interlocking themes, coming finally to a uniquely informed answer to the great question: what principles control our universe and why do physicists think they know the things they think they know? Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time has been one of the greatest best-sellers in publishing history. Anyone who struggled with that book will find here a more slowly paced but equally mind-stretching experience, with the added fascination of a rich historical and human component.


Thank you!

DepositFiles cheats--- on us and on their advertisers. Six friends and I have been trackingg it, and most of the time, Depositfiles gives a "wrong image code" even when there is no doubt the correct one was entered; this makes you wait AGAIN, and it lets the crooks at DepositFiles collect double on their "per page view" advertising. Cheap and dishonest way to inflate their stats at our expense!

Someone PLEASE try MediaFire, at www.mediafire.com/ They are good, fast, and no hassle. I use nothing else, myself.

Thanks very much, Iggy, Depositfiles are really big SHIT, i had also many times this "wrong image code" shit, they are really crooks!

Lately Depositfiles running script in background that wont allow closure of download window without closure of all open windows including the referring source, sometimes IE6 reports script running in background that may cause IE to perform slower than normal. It only happens with Depositfiles. I think time for DepFiles to get shit together and stop messing around, better yet, everyone boycott DepFiles, what gives them the right to modify anyone's browser behaviour?

First at all.. tmobile: Thanks for the post and all the other Astronomy post
Depositfiles is working without any problem. And the best.. it's free. If you get popups.. use firefox ..
gryphon, what do you say??.. I am downloading from df with flashgot in free mode without any open window. if you don't believe me, i can post a screenshot
By the way.. i have never get a invalid image code in df.. only in megaupload

If the author says no mirror, when the original post is in the infamous RS, everybody (rs zombies) are furious, but now, when te original post is in df and the author doesn't want mirrors.. the second comment is a Rs mirror..
Again ... how many RS's Zombies are out there (or here)?

Please tmobile don't hear that stupid comments of all the RS whores and continue posting that excellent ebooks in free sites like df.. maybe you could consider mihd
