A black hole is a dense concentration of matter, so dense that its enormous gravitational forces suck in everything, including light waves, within its reach. In this book, Isaac Asimov explores the implications of black holes, with lucid excursions into related questions: -- Was the mysterious 30-megaton blast that flattened a Siberian Forest in 1908 actually a small black hole? -- Does matter drawn into a black hole emerge from the "other side" as antimatter? -- Do black holes support the theory of the Creation by a cosmic Big Bang"? -- Do their existence raise the possibility that matter can move faster than the speed of light?
