The Intrepid Jellyfish Dives Into a Black Hole: A Travelogue
Available on lulu.com
The Intrepid Jellyfish Dives into a Black Hole: A Travelogue is a lighthearted and accessible guide to black holes. Imagine a universe with the same physical laws as ours but teeming with space jellyfish and other intergalactic creatures. An intrepid jellyfish sets out on a fantastical expedition to a black hole, traveling by submarine. The submariner drops the jellyfish off near the black hole, and watches as it dives in. The jellyfish knows that once it gets past a certain point—the event horizon—it will be on a one-way trip.
As the jellyfish falls deep into the black hole, it sees the universe and its denizens—and the submarine—become multiplied, multicolored, distorted, and generally weird. There's a lot to see!
If you want to understand even more about what the jellyfish and submariner see, try the companion volume The Intrepid Jellyfish Dives Into a Black Hole: Illustrations & Explanations.
