What happens when something is sucked into a Black hole? Does it disappear? Three decades ago, a young physicist named Stephen Hawking claimed it did, and in doing so put at risk everything we know about physics and the fundamental laws of the universe.
A brilliant book about modern physics, Quantum mechanics, the fate of stars and the deep mysteries of Black holes, Leonard Susskind\'s account of the Black Hole War is mind-bending and exhilarating reading..
The Black Hole War is the thrilling story of their united effort to reconcile Hawking\'s revolutionary theories of Black holes with their own sense of reality -- effort that would eventually result in Hawking admitting he was wrong, paying up, and Susskind and t\'Hooft realizing that our World is a hologram projected from the outer boundaries of space.
Most scientists didn\'t recognize the import of Hawking\'s claims, but Leonard Susskind and Gerard t\'Hooft realized the threat, and responded with a counterattack that changed the course of physics.
