Release Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
