Black Holes and the Unification of Asymmetries
Chapter
Abstract
Of all the conceptions of cosmology and astrophysics, perhaps the most intriguing is the black hole (or “frozen star,” as it is sometimes called): a hole in space with a definite edge, over which anything can fall in — but nothing can escape, because of a gravitational field so strong that even radiation is irreversibly trapped and held by it; a thermodynamic sink which drastically curves space and twists time.
