The Black Hole War: My Battle with Stephen Hawking to Make the World Safe for Quantum MechanicsWhat happens when something is sucked into a black hole? Does it disappear? Three decades ago, a young physicist named Stephen Hawking claimed it did, and in doing so put at risk everything we know about physics and the fundamental laws of the universe. Most scientists didn't recognize the import of Hawking's claims, but Leonard Susskind and Gerard t'Hooft realized the threat, and responded with a counterattack that changed the course of physics.

What happens when something is sucked into a black hole? Does it disappear? Three decades ago, a young physicist named Stephen Hawking claimed it did, and in doing so put at risk everything we know about physics and the fundamental laws of the universe. Most scientists didn't recognize the import of Hawking's claims, but Leonard Susskind and Gerard t'Hooft realized the threat, and responded with a counterattack that changed the course of physics.

The Black Hole War is the thrilling story of their united effort to reconcile Hawking's revolutionary theories of black holes with their own sense of reality -- effort that would eventually result in Hawking admitting he was wrong, paying up, and Susskind and t'Hooft realizing that our world is a hologram projected from the outer boundaries of space.

A brilliant book about modern physics, quantum mechanics, the fate of stars and the deep mysteries of black holes, Leonard Susskind's account of the Black Hole War is mind-bending and exhilarating reading.

Amazing!
Size: King (Pack of 1)
Such a great pillow I’m buying another one! You can add or subtract stuffing to your liking. It’s really nice quality, quilted and soft. Best pillow ever. Super comfy and great sleep. Pretty firm with all the stuffing. Perfect the way it came with stuffing on the side. My husband loves it and now I want one.

Totally worth the money

Right off the bat, the packaging is absolutely adorable and felt like I was buying a premium product. I love that this pillow is adjustable and as a side sleeper, I needed a pillow that is both firm and supportive of my neck. This hits all the boxes. We will be buying more of these for our bed!

Super Comfortable and Cooling Pillow!
Color: Blue, Size: Standard
I’ve been using this pillow for a few days now and I really love it! The cooling gel side feels amazing and stays cool during the night. The memory foam is soft but still supportive for my neck and shoulders. I wake up feeling much more rested and without neck stiffness. The quality is excellent and the cover is very soft and easy to clean. Definitely worth the purchase!

Perfection!
Color: Blue, Size: Standard
This pillow is so good! Perfect firmness and enough support. It’s very comfortable and does help with sleep especially on hot nights! The cooling gel does a great job of keeping the pillow cooler. It’s a good size pillow for a twin bed. I also like that it can be very compact when taking with you, the memory foam compresses very easily and fluffs back up quickly, so it’s very adjustable. Great value for the money! I definitely recommend!
