“Black holes are a gift, both physically and theoretically. They are detectable on the farthest reaches of the observable universe. They anchor galaxies, providing a center for our own galactic pinwheel and possibly every other island of stars.

Black holes are the ideal fantasy scape on which to play out thought experiments that target the core truths about the cosmos.”
