The Black Hole War : My Battle with Stephen Hawking to Make the World Safe for Quantum Mechanics

At the beginning of the 21st century, physics is being driven to very unfamiliar territory - the domain of the incredibly small and the incredibly heavy.The new world is a world in which both quantum mechanics and gravity are equally important.But mysteries remain. One of the biggest involved black holes. Famed physicist Stephen Hawking claimed that anything sucked in a black hole was lost forever.For three decades, Leonard Susskind and Hawking clashed over the answer to this problem.Finally, in 2004, Hawking conceded. THE BLACK HOLE WAR will explain the mind-blowing science that finally won out and the emergence of a new paradigm that argues that the world - your home, your breakfast, you - is actually a hologram projected from the edges of space.
