It is common knowledge that if the Sun suddenly turned into a black hole, it would suck Earth and the rest of the planets into oblivion.

With that simple idea in hand, Bennett begins an entertaining introduction to Einstein¿s theories, describing the amazing phenomena readers would actually experience if they took a trip through a black hole.
