Synopsis

This book explores the revolutionary developments in black hole physics over the last decade, stemming from Jacob Bekenstein's discovery of black hole entropy. It culminates in the holographic principle, a major focus in gravitational research, quantum field theory, and elementary particle physics. Leonard Susskind, a co-inventor of the holographic principle and a founder of string theory, explains these concepts.
