Death in a black hole

I do not see the universe as a collection of objects, theories, and phenomena. Rather, I see it as a vast stage on which actors move, driven by the complexities of the story and its plot. So when writing about the universe, it is natural to bring readers to the stage, and behind the scenes, to see firsthand for themselves how the scenes are prepared, how the lines are written, and where the events will take place later. My goal has always been to provide insight into how the universe works, which is more difficult than simply conveying facts. We will encounter times along the way - as in the best theatrical performances - when we smile, and at other times we frown when the universe calls us to do so, and at other times we will tremble in fear before it as well. Therefore, I see the book "Death in a Black Hole" as a gateway for the reader to everything that excites us, enlightens us, and terrifies us in this universe. Neil deGrasse Tyson
