A Black Hole “teaches us that space can be crumpled like a piece of paper into an infinitesimal dot, that time can be extinguished like a blown-out flame, and that the laws of physics that we regard as ‘sacred,’ as immutable, are anything but.”

–John A. Wheeler, one of the giants of the world of physics, compatriot of Albert, Einstein, Niels Bohr, and key scientist on the Manhattan Project–the man who coined the term “Black Hole”–dead at the age of 96.
