I've read a lot of books about black holes. Some have more impressive illustrations/visual aids than others.

While this particular book doesn't have the most impressive visual aids, it does a marvelous job of describing the fundamental unit of information; the bit, contained within the smallest space possible, the Planck length.

Just a quick heads up!

According to the Copenhagen interpretation, an electron is both a wave and a
particle, but also neither of the two and never both at the same time.

It never ceases to amaze me that as a species we can accept wave-particle duality as a scientific fact (which it is) despite rarely pausing to think about how deeply fucked up it is as a concept.

The fabric of the universe is weirder than we can ever imagine.
