It is commonly assumed that if the Sun suddenly turned into a black hole, it would suck Earth and the rest of the planets into oblivion. With that simple idea in mind, Bennett begins an entertaining introduction to Einstein's theories of relativity, describing the amazing phenomena readers would actually experience if they took a trip to a black hole.The theory of relativity reveals the speed of light as the cosmic speed limit, the mind-bending ideas of time dilation and curvature of spacetime, and what may be the most famous equation in history: E = mc2. Yet, as prominent author and astrophysicist Jeffrey Bennett points out, black holes don't suck.
It is not "just a theory"--every major prediction of relativity has been tested to exquisite precision, and its practical applications include Indeed, the theory of relativity shapes much of our modern understanding of the universe.
