About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.
From Carlo Rovelli, the bestselling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics, this is a story of wonder, new worlds and why the end is just the beginning

Let us journey into the heart of a black hole. Let us slip beyond its boundary, the horizon, and tumble - on and on - down this crack in the universe. As we plunge, we'll see geometry fold, we'll feel the equations draw tight around us. Eventually, we'll pass it: the remains of a star, deep and dense and falling further far. And then - the bottom. Where time and space end, and the white hole is born . . .
With lightness and magic, here Carlo Rovelli traces the ongoing adventure of his own cutting-edge research, of the uncertainty and joy of going where we've not yet been. Guiding us to the edge of theory and experiment, he invites us to go beyond, to experience the fever and the disquiet of science. Here is the extraordinary life of a white hole.

‘If you want to remember why you once fell in love with the idea of the cosmos, or want to fall in love with it for the first time, then this book is for you’ Observer

Fantastic story and explanation of white and Black holes. Read excellently by the narrator. I highly recommend.

Resolved a lot of "knots" in my song to the universe. A irreversible experience of great pleasure.

Thank you professor Rovelli

What to say, an amazing travel crossing physics, history, and philosophy. The theory behind white holes, despite difficult to grasp in its entirety, it's fascinating.

Majestic

A short book but well explained and interesting.
The second by the author that I have listened to, both of which are fascinating.
Just bought a third book by him

Well explained and interesting

Rovelli explanations are succinct yet poetically expansive. For a lay person like myself they make my imagination explode.

Like stardust

Carlo Rovelli is a great storyteller.
hope that his theory about dark matter is credible.

Amazing

The analogies are very simple to follow and when they break down are well explained. Making the whole theory easy to follow including why Einstein had it wrong. Thank you Carlos.

Beautiful writing

Fantastic narration and such an interesting story and argument around the existence of white holes :)

Brilliant!

This book doesn’t go into the science as much as others I’ve read. I actually come out the end not believing in white holes. Also, at only a couple of hours long it’s over before it’s began.

Bit disappointing
