About this title: During the last 30 years Kip Thorne has had the joy of participating in a great quest. The quest to understand Einstein's general theory of relativity and its predictions about the universe, and the quest to discern where and how Einstein's theory fails and what then replaces it.

"Kip is One of my customers, kind of funny as he needed software for his NeXT Computer with Scanner and up popped blackholeinc.com, we both were a little rattled!"
"Really cool book! This was a text for an astronomy class I took in college and I kept it after the semester ended because it was so fascinating and easy to read. Highly recommended for anyone that is interested in this topic."
"This is one of my favorite books. As a non-science person who has always looked up to and respected science, I find this explanation of theoretical physics by Prof. Thorne to be fascinating. He confounds the lay reader for only about two and a half chapters, and is sensitive to that. Thereafter, he launches into a history of physics throughout the world in the twentieth century. Very, very fascinating!
