An adventure into the heart of Nothing by best-selling author K. C. Cole.
Once again, acclaimed science writer K. C. Cole brings the arcane and academic down to the level of armchair scientists in
The Hole in the Universe
, an entertaining and edifying search for nothing at all. Open the newspaper on any given day and you will read of a newly discovered planet, star, and so on. Yet scientists and mathematicians have spent generations searching the far reaches of the universe for that one elusive state—nothingness.
Although this may sound like a simple task, every time the absolute void appears within reach, something new is discovered in its place: a black hole, an undulating string, an additional dimension of space or time—even another universe. A fascinating and literary tour de force,
is a virtual romp into the unknown that you never knew wasn't there.
