Gravity’s Century: From Einstein’s Eclipse to Images of Black Holes | Ron Cowen

48/150 I love a good dive into science. Fortunately, this is written for the science layman, so I wasn't overwhelmed with theories and mathematical equations. I'm not sure if I fully understand how gravity and quantum mechanics work in relation to black holes, but I have more appreciation for the science involved. 3.75/5
