520 1 $a"What happens when something is sucked into a black hole? Does it disappear? Three decades ago, a young English physicist named Stephen Hawking claimed it did. Most scientists didn't recognize the import of this claim, but American physicist Leonard Susskind and Dutch physicist Gerard't Hooft realized that if Hawking was right, then everything we know about the fundamental laws of the universe would have to be tossed out. At stake were not just the reputations of three of the world's greatest scientists - but physics itself." "The Black Hole War is the thrilling story of what happened next - a furious race to determine the truth that would end with the most mind-bending conclusion of all: that everything in our world - this book, your house, yourself - is actually a hologram projected from the farthest edges of space."--BOOK JACKET.
