I will freely admit not understanding 35% of this book, especially when quantum entanglement and quantum gravity start being truly unpacked. But I did greatly appreciate this book and I think the authors did a phenomenal job explaining the science behind a black hole/singularity as well as the importance these objects hold to discovering more about the universe. I can't recommend this to everyone just because some of the technical language used (to which even I struggled with) but I think anyone who reads this will learn a lot more then they would expect. Just don't read this book when tired because you will glaze over it.

The writing style isn’t something I’m completely on board with, but fuck me is it an interesting book. Not saying I understood all of it (last couple chapters are too technical) but it is extremely fascinating. I will say that I don’t think this is super accessible to those without a physics background but it’s really cool nevertheless
