Chapter 349 This is simply what a black hole should look like!(2/2)
Because of the strong publicity, "Deep Space" became the darling of the book market as soon as it was released in the United States.
The description of wormholes and black holes involved in the novel has also become a hotly discussed topic.
At first, readers just thought that YU had a good imagination and his description of black holes was beautiful and unusual.
Why is it called abnormal?
Because the black holes that ordinary people think of should not be as gorgeous as those described in novels.
Of course, readers didn’t take it seriously at first.
Science fiction novels are not popular science articles. They are literary works after all. Some artistic processing is quite normal, but they do not expect YU to be able to describe black holes accurately.
In fact, there have always been many versions of descriptions of wormholes and black holes in science fiction works, because no one has ever seen what a black hole actually looks like.
However, there are always some readers who are more serious.
Sissoko is a science fiction fan and a physics student at the California Institute of Technology. When he saw the description of impulses and black holes in "Deep Space", many questions immediately emerged in his mind, and he also remembered
Kip Thorne, a professor at their school, because wormholes and black holes are the subjects of Professor Thorne's research.
Gathering up the courage, Sissoko found an opportunity to take "Deep Space" to meet Kip Thorne.
"Professor Thorne, I wonder if you would like to take the time to read this novel."

time."
"Professor, you don't need to read the entire novel, just read the description of wormholes and black holes."
"Wormholes and black holes?" Kip Thorne became interested, "Whose novel is this?"
"YU's." Sissoko replied.
"I've heard of him." Kip Thorne nodded and asked, "Before I decide whether to read this novel, can you tell me why you let me read it?"
"Because I have some questions about the description of black holes."
"Do you think what he wrote does not fit the image of a black hole in your mind?" Kip Thorne smiled, stretched out his hand, "Bring it to me and show it to me."
Sissoko handed the book to Kip Thorne, then turned to one of the pages, "The description here is the most specific..."
Kip Thorne nodded, followed what Sissoko pointed out, and read the description of black holes in the novel.
[It looks like a disk, and the only thing you can see is how it bends straight light, when...]
After reading the first sentence, Kip Thorne's face showed a trace of disbelief, and then this trace of disbelief slowly spread on his face, and finally covered his entire face.
Kip Thorne did not take this novel seriously at first. Science fiction novelists always describe black holes with more fantasy than science. This is understandable. Science fiction novelists are not scientists, and they do different things.
.
But the description of black holes in "Deep Space" surprised him because he had never seen a science fiction novelist describe black holes so appropriately.
Moreover, these descriptions are basically consistent with his research on black holes over the years. Some things he has never thought of before are even described in the novel. It’s not that the descriptions in the novel are more powerful than his research, it’s just that
But he never thought of describing black holes in a literary way.
