''Combines science with journalism to weave a captivating account of the most extraordinary objects in the universe: black holes. A superior account.'' Marcus Chown
''Facing Infinity is an especially attractive introduction to a wonderfully attractive subject.'' Frank Wilczek
Black holes aren''t just cosmic mysteries - they''re surprisingly essential to life on Earth.
From GPS navigation to understanding climate change, these enigmatic objects shape our daily existence in ways you''d never imagine. They helped create the atoms in your body, mixed the chemical ingredients for life throughout the universe, and now help us measure our planet''s changing surface with millimetre precision. Without supermassive black holes regulating star formation in galaxies, complex life might never have emerged anywhere.
In Facing Infinity, astrophysicist Jonas Enander takes us on an extraordinary journey from eighteenth-century Britain to cutting-edge observatories around the world, revealing how the universe''s darkest phenomena illuminate both our origins and future.
