Rezzolla starts from history and myth, from what men, little by little, have understood about their standing firmly on the ground and from there turning their eyes to the sky, farther and farther, deeper and deeper, until they realise that space is also time, and that the farther you look the further back in time you go. A very fine book indeed, in the classic style of the best science divulgation, one that reads like a novel and for that very reason plants its seeds firmly in the mind: ""do non hesitate to use your curiosity and ask yourself questions, even questions that may seem bizarre. Let your intuition be your guide, but not your master".

In a conversational, easy-to-read style, the author explains the latest understanding of gravity. The book is a deep dive into the subject of black holes for those who are interested in the topic.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Very informative and well written. I loved the exploration of gravitational physics and Einstein's theories on gravity. The writing was easy to read and lovely.

This is a valiant attempt to grapple in an accessible way with some of the most esoteric phenomena in the universe.
